WASHINGTON TIMES MARCH
AT WHITE HOUSE CONCERT
Director Sandman Pays an Unusual
Tribute to Times News
boy Band.

The Marine Band concert at the White
House grounds viii begin this evening
at 5:55 O'Clock. Among the numbers on.
the pros-sn will be the Washington
Times March and Two-Ste9.~ composed
by c. NJ White. instructor OF The Times
Newsboys Band, and dedicated to is
members
The Marine Band extended the little
musicians of The Times Band a pretty
compliment when it played the march
at its concert at the Marine Barracks
Thursday afternoon
Since The Times Newsboys Band was
organized It has won admiration every
where, but for the Marine Band-the
official musical organization OF the
nation-to select their own march at
two Of It's concerts in succession as one
Of the few numbers CT its program IS
considered courtesy out Of the oTdi-
nary and an honor seldom conferred.
The composition is one OF the catchy
inspiring variety, with an infectious
sN ing about it and q tuneful melody
which has already made it popular.
NJ White is an interchangeable worker,
especially IN his efforts TO make the
organization notable in the local musical
world.
Not only have the boys been taught
to read music, but each has had sep
arate instruction On the instrument to
which he was assigned, with the result
that the band has reached q degree ~
merit rarely obtained by q Ike organi-
zation.
The following is the program for the
concert this evening.

and States Attorney Allen were absent,
thinking that court was not to open I'M

brought in by a baiIiff and court pro-

Saturday seems to be naturally the
trading day and today has been a
marker in the line Of shopping days.
The streets and stores have been busy
scenes this last Saturday preceding
Christmas. Though usually large the
country folk have seldom been more
prominently represented than today.
The inaugural ball committee has
fixed Friday might, Jan. 8, as the date
for the ball. There will be a reception
from $50 to $3.50. and the ball will
begin at the latter hour. Tickets will
be SIS each, including two banquet
tickets. The chairman of the several
subcommittee have been selected and
they will arrange the full committees,
which will be announced later.
Bishop Mann is opposed to the sale
of the old Episcopal church site at the
present time, while some of the local
endorsers--on church notes and other
obligations-would like to sell it, III
order to ipay existing obligations, and
for sidewalks and the needed improve
ments in the church property on Thay-
err street. The old location is a fine
residence site, and just now is in de-
mand at a fair price.
Wilton News: Three old settlers Of
Burleigh county, Messrs. Bacbman,
Julin and Engstrom were in Wilton last
Friday. They had just returned from
Alberta, Canada, where they had been,
on a fruitless search for a milder cline
and a richer soil in which to Live and
toll. They found the thermometer 20
degrees below zero with a decided tend
ency to persist in its downward course,
and have very sensibly concluded noI
to emigrate from old Burleigh.

Standing on the highest mountain
say at height of 26,66s feet, which is
- - slightly over five
miles above sea
Can see' level, on a clear
day, man can see to a distance of
600 miles. To see objects at distance
OF 100 miles the observer must be
standing at height of 1907 feet above
the level of the sea. The rule is that
the distance in miles ut which an OBJ
ject ON the earth's surface may be
seen is equal to the square root OF
one and one-half times the height OF
the observer in feet above sea level,
allowance being made for the effect of
the atmospheric refraction. As the
refraction varies, however, at differ
ent heights and also by weather con-
ditions, precise accuracy cannot be
given. A deduction of from one-four-
teenth to one-tenth of the distance
given by the rule might probably be
made ON account of this refraction.

worthy estimates. In letter to the
United States senate Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson says the number
OF wild bison now in the United
States Is about 80, or possibly 35.
The best that he can promise for
this race of splendid animals is that
its determination may be delayed
for considerable period by prompt
congressional action. Trade has
been chiefly responsible for the wip-
ing out of the buffalo herds. In the
single season of 1s7S-79 over 100000
hides were shipped down the Mis-
souri, river. But purposeless hunters,
men whose sole desire was to kill,
says the New York World, have done
their full share OF the mischief. Com
merce and sport" in the reckless
combination which has marked this
as the age of determination, have
robbed the plains of the most ma
jcstic of American wild animals. The
elephant is being wiped out of Asia
and Africa. The giraffe is so near to
extinction that individual specimens
sell for $1,000 90 $4,000, where they
would have brought only $3.50 or $500
a~quarter of n century ago. Other
big game" everywhere is in peril
of the buffalo's fate.
We shall have so much time to be
sorry when the last ex-monarch OF
the plains is gone that we really
ought TO take some time and pains to
