be the finest colored musical organization
in the country, at Tomlinson Hall the night
of July %. J. d. Howard. E. c. Knox.
Archie Greenhouse and other colored music
lovers of the city have secured the band
for a grand concert on that evening.
The Armant Military Band has made for
itself an enviable reputation during the
past few years, and occupies a high place
among organizations of its kind. both white
and black. During the Spanish-American
war it was the band of the Eighth Illinois
Regiment and accompanied the soldier boys
to Cuba. After the war it was reorganized
for concert purposes and has had a very
successful career artistically as well as
financially. Armant, the leader, has char
scteristics that single him out from the
mediocre and which have helped to give
him the significant title. 1.-THE Black Sousa."
To colored people of the country the Ar
mant Military Band stands for about the
same thing as the Sousa organization does
among white people.
Four s~oloists and three vaudeville turns
will have places in the programme of the
evening and are expected TO add largely
to the enjoyment of the audience. Miss
Edna Alexander, soprano, will be the lead
ing soloist. Her voice is said to be un-
usually attractive. She was secured as the
leading soloist OF the organization from a
leading roof garden of New York. The
programme which will be rendered by the
band will be well-selected classical and
popular airs. The band has thirty-five
pieces, and has been trained TO artistic per-
lection, it's admirers claim.
The organization is on it's way TO Europe
and will play in four cities before going
abroad-Indianapolis, Lexington, KY, Gin
cinnati and Louisville. The programme
will begin at $50. Admittance of Is, 90 and
Is cents will be charged.

AMERICANS IN UGANDA.

j. NJ. Rogers, in Review Of Reviews.
Twenty-seven American bridges on the
Uganda Railway, which runs from Nom
hasa to Victoria Nyanza, is the latest
record Of American enterprise-one that
presents many novel and interesting feat
ures. The work was lone in record time
and for a price considerably less than Brit
ish competitors could put the material on
%shipboard for. After all the explanations
and excuses that can be offered on behalf
of our British cousins. the fact remains
that for doing difficult work in out-of-the-
way places OF the earth, with cheapness
and dispatch, the American takes the lead.
A. B. Lueder, the twenty-four-year-old
Pennsylvania boy, n N. p. Jarrett, also
Of Pennsylvania, who superintendent the
construction of these bridges in Darkest
Africa, look upon their task as in the ma
ture of an outing. Even the twenty
other Americans who spent over a year In
the work cannot be made to speak of hard
ships or moving accidents. The truth is
that American men. American methods and
American machinery achieved a notable VIC
tory. The returning bridgemakers are lad

the most valuable treasure brought home

What is the actual open door? Ellis

is a joke in comparison with this Ellis

The scum would not come here If the

On a warm Sunday. when hocks Of chill
dren are running and tumbling about the
