Sousa Is Coming.

Housa has returned from his English
trlumphs and the same SOusa as of yore
hearing his new honors with becomin - -
m0desty and as graciouslv resnonsiva te
the wishes of his admirers as haforo
1t was an achievment of no small mo -.
nltude to win the favor. nlaudits ond
approval Oh musical Britain, and Sousa's
conquest was complete. The entire
BRUSH tour OF SOusa and his band, from
Tue auspiclOns opening concert at the
Royal Albert hall in London to the
last appearance at Southampton was a
series OF enthusiastic Ovations to the
american musicians and their famous
conductor. u'
witness what one English critic had
10 say OF the March King" and his men:
"Ihe latest import ton from America
mas proved lnOrdins.o success. Any-
thing more thoroughly typically Ameri-
can 1t would be difficult 10 imagine
MT. S0usa's band is not a military band
at all. 1t is Sousa band pure and
simple, and that is the only name one
can give it, because, as far as I am
aware, there is no other body of per
formers in existence that resembles it
in the least. Its composition is origin
al, and its conductor is, perhaps, the
most original, of all. We knew his
music, OF course, before we knew the
composer, and that was, perhaps, a mis-
take, for the two ought to be known
together. To hear Mr.. Sousa play his
own music is to be converted. His or
chestra is pre-eminently American in its
remarkable fire aud swing. 1t seems to
be positively bubbling over with restless
energy, and to possess an Unsuitable
craving for marches. Regarded from
the musicians point of view it is re-
markable for the fine tone, the perfect
balance OF the parts, and the almost
machine-like precision with which it
pl lays"
This is assuredly high praise, but
every one who has ever come within the
magic sway of Sousa's baton will agree
that is it equally as deserved. SOusa
comes here shortly with the same band
and the same soloists as recently played
before the King of England, and
his concert will be given at Turner
Opera house on Monday March 10,
Maud Reese Davies, Soprano; Dorothy
Hoyle, violinist, and Arthur Pryor, Trum-
bone will also be heard.

Discovers Skeleton.

A startling discovery was made by
Abraham Thorne, a farmer residing
about seven miles north Of Waukesha,
while chopping down a dead tree on his
property Thursday Of last week. The
tree was hollow oak and had been de-
void Of live for many years. He was
Mortified to see a skeleton OF little
child enclosed by the wood in the stump
of the tree which had been felled. The
body must have been laid in its hiding
place scores of years ago, and it is not un-
likely that it was that of an Indian pa
pOOse placed in the hollow trunk Of a
tree to keep it from the ravages and
wild beasts. A few glass beads are re-
ported to have been found near the
crumbliGg bones.
