The power Of music has been writ
ten about by poets and philosopher
for many ages Its language Is uni,
versal. T. sooothes the breast OF tnr
barbarian and the savage with equal
power as 1t charms and delights the
ears Of the most cultured and refined /;
1t stirs to noble thoughts and inspir-
ing deeds; it drives pien to battle and
makes heroes out of towards. The
man who has no music in his soul
nor is moved by concord Of sweet
sounds is fit only for treason, strata
gems and spois;--so said Shake
speare, the master spirit of the ages,
Let no such man be trusted.
E!lery's Band.
1t was one of the great bands of the
world which visited us yesterday.
For execution, for pcrfectness of art;
lion of the grand strains of the great
masters; the organization led by
Charming Ellery has no superior. Ev-
cry detail, to the minutest, Is brought
| forth In every number; every note
gets its exact tone and time; the
harmony is perfect; the precision mar
velous But the most striking thing
about the playing of the band Is In
the interpretation-whi in the last
analysis Is the one test of the art
ist and the musician. In this 1t is
without question that Ellery's band
any of the great musical organizations
Of the world. Every one Of the fifty
FIVE members of the band Is an art
list; their whole beings are charged
with the enthusiasm which has made
their own sunny Italy stand foremost
among the musical nations Of the
world, Every player lives the part
he plays and each individual spirit
pervades the whole And all combin-
ed. they send forth their selections
in a glorious symphony at once delicl.
GUS, ecstatic and sublimely beauti-
full, 1t catches the audience and holds
il as In a spell of magic, and from the
initial number to the close one sis
and listens en- rapport and complete

Feruiio.
Much has been written about Ferul-

ly came from Naples and took charge
of the band few weeks ago. The
people of Minneapolis decorated him
with diamonds. He deserved Thorn
all. He is remarkable genius. HIS

Is a marvel, a wonder And only 25
years old! How many millions there
are who are vet TO sit beneath his

contortions in his work. But ono for
