MARSHALL'S BAND CONCERT
A Large Audience Entertained by
Some Excellent Music.

There was not as much patriotism
manifest at the annual concert of Mar
shalPs band at the Crawford theater
last night as there was at the annual
concert a year ago, but from a musical
standpoint it was successful an affair.
The concert last year occurred shortly
after the blowing up of the Maine in
Havana harbor, and to the first encore
the band responded with SouSa'S stars
United States flag with a small Cuban
flag attached was hoisted at the back
of the stage. Last night the only APP
proach at anything patriotic was the
rendition of 1.-The Star Spangled Ban
ner' as the closing selection.
The bands portion of the concert con-
sisted of seven programme selections
and three encores. One of the re-
Camp Meeting and another the equal
ly popular but older favorite ''Margery."
The band was in good form and each of
the selections was rendered in such
way as to sustain the organizations
reputation as the best amateur band
in the country. The arrangement of the
programme was altogether suitable for
the concert.
Besides furnishing excellent band
music, the concert served to Introduce
to Topeka Mrs. Glenna Dwight Hollen-
beck, soprano, of Kansas City. and in.
crease the favor in which the Ladies'
Quartette of this city is held Mrs.
Hollanbeck sang "Elizabeth's Prayer"
from Tannhauser as the third number
of the programme, and was compelled
to respond to a most enthusiastic en-
core. She possesses a full, strong and
very pleasing soprano voice. She sang
"a Dream" and "Still as the Night as
the seventh number, and was again
forced to respond by continued APP
plauSe.
Mornings 'The Legend was the first
of the selections by the Ladies' quar-
tette, and robin Adair'' the second.
After each of the numbers the quartette
responded to encores.
The house was we'll filled last night,
as it probably will be again tonight
when the concert will be repeated.

were heard today in the case of Ehrmann
Brothers, wine merchants. against an
army officer, Captain Macfarlane, whom
they engaged to introduce their wines to
the royalty and nobility. The present claim
arose from wine which was sent to a no
bleman about to be married.
Macfarlane defended the case in person,
and read statement that he had intro
duced the wine to royalty and the nobility,
but afterward his connection with the
plaintiffs ceased. The plaintiffs then sued
to obtain his letters from members of the
royal family, to be used as testimonials
but they lost. 1t was understood, he said
that the wines now sued for were a gift.
On the death of a certain member of the
royal family, he said, they had sued for
payment for. wines. which had been sent
with view to getting testimonial. Mac
farlane added that they surreptitiously
obtained his fathers crest and coat. of
arms and had them copied for a label on
goods named "Macfarlane whisky The
Judge non-suited the plaintiffs.
