Marine Band Renders Second
Request Program.
aNearer, My God, to Thee" Played as
Anniversary Tribute to Presi- =
dent Mckinley.

In response to numerous letters from
resident Washingtonians, the Marine
Band gave another request concert yes
terday afternoon in the White Lot
Lieutenant Santelmann, leader of the
band, selected the numbers from those
which had been sent in previous to the
first recital of its kind last Saturday, and
the program was an excellent one What
ever else such a collection of compost
tions does, 1t brings out the music lovers,
and with few exceptions everybody pays
strict attention TO each piece.
1t would be difficult thing to say Just
which composition was received with the
most favor yesterday. Each was class
&c of its kind, and each as thoroughly diff
ferent from the other as possible. The
bands rendition of THE Beautiful Blue
Danube" is matter of local history, and
yesterday the famous Strauss waltz was
played in way TO have made its master
proud. Paderewski's minuet, "Celebre,"
was a gem. and The audience quite for
got itself and applauded the clarinet ca
denza before the number was completed.
Only one Wagner composition. the grand
march, "Huldigung,' figured ON the pro-
gram. but that, with the Chopin polo
naise. 0p. 4e, was greeted with much ap-
plause. Lieutenant Santelmann's waltz
''The Debutante," was 30 fayorably re-
ceived that he was forced &c disregard
his rule to play ne encores and repeat one

Venetian Story Here.
Queer Dispatch From Indiana, Where He
Lived twenty-five Years Ago-Has
Fully Recovered.

Prof. Henry W. Wiley, chief chem
list of the Agricultural Department
had a somewhat forcible Illustration
yesterday of the fact that there are
sometimes exceptions to the old adage,
Bad news travels quickly" In this
case the bad news Travelled more slowly
than the professor himself, and the pro-
fessor travelled on an ocean greyhound
To begin the story Alright. the follow
ing dispatch was received by The Times
yesterday from Madison Ind:
Relatives here have received in
formation that Prof. Henry w. Wi
ley, chief chemist of the United
States Agricultural Department, is
very i'll of appendicitis at Venice,
Italy"
Found at His Desk.
A reporter was Immediately sent to
the Agricultural Department to verify
the dispatch and secure more details if
possible. With visions CT bad news in
mind the reporter was somewhat
startled at finding the professor seated
in his Office chair calmly pursuing his
daily duties and loking hale, hearty and
in the best of health.
Recovering from the shcck, the re-
porter showed the dispatch TO the pro-
fessor. who laughed.
That's rather amusing" finally said
Prof. Wiley. 1T is true / was in

In Memory Of Mckinley.

A surprise of the afternoon was the in
terpolation of Nearer, My God 70 Thee -
between the List rhapsodie and the ma
tional hymn. This was mark of respect
Oh the part of Leader Santelmann and
the members of the band. to the memory
of the late President Mckinley, who was
assassinated year ago yesterday at the
Buffalo Exposition. The effect of the
music on the people in attendance at the
concert was an unprecedented and un-
conscious tribute to Mr.. Mckinley.
Despite the keen appreciation of many
for the Wagner number and others of
high musical caliber, there were num-
ber of people who were not in position
to understand these heavy writings. But
when the first strains Of the well-known
hymn were played conversation ceased,
and all evidence of frivolity was gone
Everyone seemed to understand and to
feel the solemnity of the music.
With the same keen insight into the
composers meaning which impelled the
band to interpret the wonderfully con-

CLEARING OUT MOSQUITOES

A room may be cleared of mos
quitoes by putting a few spoonfuls
of clOride of lime on an earthen
plate and addning a little crude
sulphuric acid. The chlorine gas
liberated kills the mosquitoes.
Pyrethrum powder will stupefy
them Moisten the powder slightly,
mould into little cones and dry in
the oven. Place one of these cones
upright and set fire to the top. 1t
shoulders slowly, filling the room
with smoke that is not generally
considered unpleasant, says the
Chicago News. Two or three such
cones burned during the evening
will give the required relief, but
afford no protection from those
outside unless the windows are
screened.
Camphor, oil of pennyroyal, pep
permint, lavender and citronella
rubbed on the face and hands will
each give a certain amount of i'm
munity. a more effective prepara-
ton, much used by hunters and
fishermen, requires one ounce of
castor oil and alcohol and a dram
of oil of lavender, or any essential
oil that will cover the unpleasant
odor of the castor oil.
As for bites, to scratch and rub
them only increases the swelling
and irritation. Household ammonia
ammonia in a dilute form-gives
best relief; next is ;slcohol; glycerine
always takes away the pain in a
few minutes, and is good for bee
stings also.-Mexican Herald.A
