sOUsA AND HIS BAND

John Philip Sousa and the Sousa Band
are such distinctively American instltu-
tons that they have come TO be &C
ceDted rather as a matter OF course at
home without perhaps adequate ac-
acknowledgement Of their manifold merits.
The American musician must cross the
water to receive such tribute as the
following. from the pen Of the critic OF
tho conservative St. James Gazette:
we may say at once that such play
ing by a band consisting OF woodwind
and brass alone has without doubt never
been heard il this country before. Mr.
Sousa is evidently a musician Of rare re-
flnement and instinct, with an apprecia-
ton for and gift Of rythm which fairly
amounts to genius. Much Of the music
performed was of the llghtest description
yet we cannot pay Mr.. Sousa a higher
compliment than TO say that ones purely
critical-musical faculty was entirely car
ried away By the extraordinary strain
and nerve OF the interpretations. There
was on the part Of the players an abso-
lutely Spontaneous response to the con-
ductor's slightest movement and ges-
ture. while the auditors themselves ac-
tually seemed TO be Influenced in no less
a degree from an emotional point OF
view. The quality and balance OF tone
Of the band was well nigh perfect.while
the accomplishments 10 the vocal and
violin solos one quite failed to realize
that the fundamental strings OF the or
chestra were replaced by the harsher an
more assertive group Of Wildwood instru-
ments."
Mr.. Sousa Is at present engaged upon
an extended concert tour Of the United
States prior to taking his band abroad
for the third time and will be heard here
in concert on Thursday, November 6. at
the Toer Auditorium. Miss Estellc Leib-
ling, soprano. Miss Grace Jenkins. violin
itse. and Mr.. Arthur Pryor. trombone
are the special soloists OF the tour

TEN DEAD IN A
NINE DISASTER
Not One Man Survives 10 Tell the
Story Of the Terrible Accident.
Gas the Cause

South McAlester, l. T., Jan. Is. -
Ten miners lost their lives in the ex-
plosion Monday evening in mine No.
of the Milby and Dow Mining com
pany at Dow, l. T. The victims are:
Jack Mccoy, W. f. Keith, B. f. Far
hurst, E. M. Prichard, Bert Gatlin,
Joe Bemmis, Thomas Blua, John
Blua, M. Brow, John Beatal.
The ten men who lost their lives
were the only persons in the pit and
none was left to tell the story. All
the bodies were recovered, and as
none was burned the conclusion is
that death was due to after damp.
The explosion did not injure the
shaft, which was a new one, and the
fire that followed was put out before
II did much damage. The sound OF
the explosion was heard plainly at
the surface and rescuers Immediately
went to work The explosion occur
red at a depth of 24O feet. The ma
chinery was not injured and miners
working at the mouth of the pit de
scended as soon as safety would per
NIT.
The bodies we're found close to
gether. The fire was extinguisheC
before it had reached any of then
and the last body was brought to the
surface before midnight. The vic
tins had been in the employ Of the
company for some time and most o
them were men with families.
The mine had not yet been thor
oughly opened. Experienced minini
men say it is remarkable that ga
should have accumulated in suficien
quantities in a new mine to cause al
explosion.
