RIVAL MUSICIANS.
The Earliest International Band
Contest Was Held In 1920.

The Earliest International Band
Contest Was Held In 1920.
The earliest record Of an interna-
tional band contest is Of one held in
the year 1920 between the bands Of
Handel and Buononcini, gifted Ital-
ian composer, who by his friends and
admirers was declared to be infinitely
superior to the German master. The
king headed the partisans Of the Ger
man and the Prince of Wales those Of
the Italian artist. The controversy has
been perpetuated in the lines Of John
Byron, popular poet Of his day:
Some say, compared tc Buononcini,
That Mynheer Handeps but ninny
Others aver that he to Handel
Is scarcely fit to hold candle.
Strange all this difference should be
'Twixt tweedledum and tweedledee.
An international band contest on a
much larger scale was held in connec-
don with the Paris exhibition Of 1867,
in which selected bands from Austria,
Bavaria, Baden, Belgium, France, Hol-
land, Spain and Russia competed in
the presence of 10000 visitors. Russia
took the first prize, closely followed by
France and Austria.-London Standard.

CHURCHES AND OUTLAWS.
Ancient Laws That Gave Shelter and
Protection to Criminals.

Protection to Criminals.
In early times, when life and prop
erty were accounted cheap unless de-
Tended sword IN hand, the church OF
fered shelter and sanctuary to those
who had occasion to fear the arm OF
the law. In the middle ages whoever
crossed the threshold of a church was
considered under divine protection and
could not be arrested, while several
churches and cathedrals still preserve
the knockers used by those who had
fed thither for shelter and claimed adj
mittance. In some buildings the fugl-
tive from justice sat upon a chair or
stool, and the register of church In
Durham, England, covering period
extending from the year 1854 to the
year 1924, included, besides other
crimes, 1915 murders and homicides, IN
which 2S3 persons seeking protection
were concerned. To attempt to violate
sanctuary by force was in those days
very serious matter, and when the
outlaw decided to save his life by leav-
ing the realm he did SO in the follow
ing manner: when a robber, murderer
or other evil doer shall fly unto any
church upon his confession of felony
the coroner shall cause the abjuration
to be made thus: Let the felOn be
brought to the church door and there
be assigned unto him port, near or
far off, and time appointed to him to
go out Of the realm, SO that in going
toward that port he carry cross In
his hand, and that he go not out of the
kings highway, neither on the right
hand nor on the left, but that he keep
it always until he shall be gone out OF
the land, and that he shall not return
without special grace of our lord the
king"
