ADJUSTMENTS.

1NNES' BAND CONCERT-Real musi-
cal treats were the concerts given yester-
day afternoon and evening by Innes and
his band at the Columbia Theater The
audiences were composed of cultured
Wash1ngtonians, who anticipated something
good, and who were not slow in attesting
their appreciation. Nearly every number
on the program was encored, and Innes
and his musicians responded good-natur-
edly. The band is different In many re-
spects from some Of the other big organiza-
tions that tour the country. Particularly
Is this noticeable in the absence of the
usual complement of bass horns and the
substitution therefor of two double bass
stringed instruments. The introduction of
the harp in Ambrose Thomas overture to
Mignon' was gratifying, and it showed
that lnnes has desire to carry out to the
extreme the intentions Of the comnoser
Again, in Strauss dreamy waltz, "In the
vienna Woods the either was introduced
with delightful effect. The rendition of the
selection from "Parsifal." by Wagner. at
the afternoon concert, was fine. and
showed that the bandmaster has a keen
appreciation and understanding of the
great composers music. In the afternoon
Signora Adele Borghi, Miss Frances Boy
den, Signor Edgardo Zerni and Signor
Achille Alberti sang selections from Oar
men,, and In the evening selections from
Lucia" Signor Alberti's ''Toreador'' song
was well rendered and the audience was
wen pleased. Signora Borghi possesses a
rich mezzo-soprano voice. Kryps cornet
solos, both from Levy, were well rendered.
Innes was roundly applauded when the
band played the Prince Charming" one
or O., MS own compositions, as well as the
Alpine Scenes a spectacular idyl which
introduces corps Of costumed musical
blacksmiths and electric anvils. At the
night concert Signora Borghi sang the
"Habanera," from Carmen" with sncb
effect that she was obliged to repeat it. The
vocal selections from Lucia" gave the
other three singers a solo, and the number
ended with the well-known sextet, sung by
four people Innes has his force under
perfect control and some of the effects
produced were unusually good The reed
section is large and exceptionally. fine. and
the result of his combination of strings is
to lessen the blare Of brass and to give
rather an orchestral effect

Fourteen Cases of Scarlet Fever in
TalxOma Park.

The much-talked-of scarlet fever epi-
demic In Takoma Park, which recently
caused considerable apprehension among
the parents of children who attended the
public schools, has been ascertained to be
of small proportions. All of the cases are
of mild type and no deaths have as yet
resulted. In all there were fourteen cases.
The health department of the District
and the board of education have taken the
necessary steps to prevent it's spread. They
have done much to allay the fears of the
people, both in the District and on the
Maryland side. The Takoma school was
disinfected December 1S and again January
l of the present year.
According to the attending physician who
has been called upon to attend each case,
there are now In Takoma thirteen cases in
nine houses. OF this number five are in
Takoma and Takoma Heights, and the re-
naming cases in Takoma, Md. Two or
three suspected cases which later devel-
ooped on the Maryland side occurred in
homes In which subsequently well-mar rked
cases developed, but no physician was
called in.
Health Officer Mooers, in speaking of the
situation today, said no new cases had been
reported to him during the past week and
that the outlook is very favorable The
only danger, he said, is in letting the chill
dren out too soon. Every precaution is
belng taken he continued, to have all cases
isolated and closely watched on the Mary
land side. No cases have occurred in the
Maryland school,
DR.. w. c. Woodward, health officer of
tne Distrlct, in communication to the
health officer of Takoma, suggested that
the work Of his Office with reference to the
prevention of contagious diseases would
be greatly facilitated If contagious cases
IN the MARYLAND jurisdiction were regular
ly reported to him.
In two instances the afflicted children
were at school up to within few hours
OF the time the disease became manifest.
All OF the cases mentioned above have de-
veloped since December TO- when the first
case was reported. The two cases in Oc-
toner had no connection whatever with
the present outbreak, "
