Mr.. Sidney Pullman while returning
to his home across Hunting creek last
night was set upon by several negroes
and beaten and robbed. Mr. Pullman

dry goods and other articles which he
had purchased for his family, which
were taken by the highwaymen. Mr..
Pullman was supposed to have had
several hundred dollars on his person at
the times money received from his

Music, 'Tis the song of the soul,
Echoed from brigh; portals above;
A herald to whom God hath told
His wond-oUs ana eternal love.
II soothes the troubled heart.
And brings the sweetest rest:
II lifts dark clouds and peace imparts
To these who are of earth oppressed
In melody it sinks to sleep,
A lullaby OF softest tone:
The closing eyes. SO soft and sweet,
Lcok toward the eternal throne.

Professor Whites Task.

Prof. White began his task January Is,
and in the remarkably brief space OF
three months has accomplished the feat
Of training band OF boys to play in per-
feet harmony such selections as make up
the repertoire of the usual military band.
II was a prodigious task. Two hundred
newsboys applied for places in the band.
The lads were enthusiastic over the idea.
Every applicant was given a trial, and If
he showed any evidence of inherent talent
for music he was placed on the list to
have his fitness further tested. If later
trials realized the promises OF the begin
ming, the lucky youngster was given indi-
yidual instruction on the instrument Pref
White thought best adapted 20 the ability
OF his pupil
BY iudicious selection il is believed that
the real musicians among the Washing
ton newsboys have been secured for The
Times Newsboys Band.
Forty boys, ranging from nine to SIX
teen years In age, now constitute The Or
eanization.
Three months ago, not one OF III. forty
knew a musical notc fro.n a Chinese nuI.l.
eral. Tempo they had never heard OF. bu:
in the soul CT every cnc of these lads
there were the vague, underlined notic1s G
gpelody and harmony.

essicnally to the director. who is, how
ever, past master in training young
boys TO be musicians-,
|. Prof. White, the director; Of the
Washington Times ,Newsboys Band. has
distinguished himself in the training Of
boys bands. His most notable achieve
ment in this line, up to the time when he
took hold of The Times boys. was his
development of newsboys' band in the
city of Detroit. The organization became
famous throughout the Central States.
Serenaded Sousa.
On one occasion when Sousa was in De
troit he was serenaded by the band OF
newsboys, and so struck was he by the
excellence of their playing that he sent
for Prof. White and warmly congratulated
him. His admiration. however, did net
stop at that point. He caused a gold
medal to be struck off which he forwarded
to Prof. White with a letter which the
musician treasures not less dearly thar
the medal
1t is a notable fact that some Of the hes:
musicians in the musical organizations ot
Detroit today received their first lesser
in the ncwsboys' band trained By Prof
White. The coed that was donc in fa.-
nishing those boys with the incentive -,
training for honorable and rerIrc--;'v.
careers is inestimab!e.

The Masons themselves were enthusias-

the immense gathering of the people OF

Triumph for the Boys.
1t was a triumph for the boys and a
triumph for The Times, through whose
efforts and at whose expense the band
was furnished with Instruments and uni
forms and trained.
The idea was conceived by the man

the year. and Prof G. NJ White, mu-

West, was brought to Washington from
Detroit. He was instructed to organize
a band, TO be made up entirely OF news
