Loi" in President Solomon's time,
1887, and the Voudoo worshippers
have frequent gatherings around the
tomb. They had to sacrifice children
during their religious rites. but this
custom died out, or rather was
stopped by the authorities, and they
now are content with killing goats
in connection with their ceremon-
les.
Few white people have succeeded
in attending Voudoo festivities. but.
says a New York Herald correspond
ent, I gained a clear account of how
they are carried on through an old
negro.
The ceremony is a long chant.
Each singer keeps on one chord, and
as they all sing in a different key
the chant has a weird and unearth-
ly sound. The song is accompanied
by three tambours (drums), each of
which is of a different size. One is
very large and is struck regularly
and slowly all through the chant.
Another is small and has a fat
sound.
The third a medium-sized drum, is
played with both hands and feet.
The player moves his feet up and
down the sides of the drum, to pro-
duce either a high or low sound.
They end the ceremony by drink
ing The blood of a freshly killed
goat.
There are still many adherents of
Voudooism in Hayti, which dates
back to the time the Spaniards
brought negroes as slaves from
Africa to the West Indies.

The opening Of the summer season at
Lake Harriet is an event. which has been
eagerly looked forward to since the an
nouncement was made that Claiming Ell
lerys famous electric band had been Sc
cured by way of entertainment. This at
ternOon that opening occurred and with
the advance Of summer It is very evident
that the capacities Of the pavilion are
often to be taxed to the utmost. Ellerys
band won golden opinions when it made
its first visit here last winter, and its
popularity increased constantly with each
succeeding concert. Since then Its power
and capacity has been vastly augmented
by the addition OF the Cavaliere Emilio
Rivela as Its director.
Rivela, although newcomer In Ameri-
ca, is widely known in Italy, where, two
years ago, at the Turin exposition, he and
his band wrested the prize from 200 COM
peting bands, and secured for Rivela the
title Of "Cavaliere at the hands Of King
Victor Emanuel. Assisted by such a band
az Ellery's with its upanimity of feeling
and its fine training, the new director
seems destined to a meteoric career In
America. He Is greatly attached to his
men and the feeling is reciprocal. His d.
recting is characterized by thorough mu-
sicianship, wide familiarity with band
compositions and verve that Is con-
tagious.
The program for this evening Is one
calculated to bring to the lake large
attendance Of music lovers of whatever
school or degree OF culture. It contains
two compositions by the new leader him
self: trumpet solo. "Schubert's Sere-
made" by Signor Palma; the famous ,'Lu-1
ella sextet" by six soloists, and a harp
solo. The programs for Sunday matinee
ana evening are equally good, embracing
all classes Of music, from the newest
march to the classic compositions of Wag-
ner and Mverdi. The programs In full are
