But 1t is Passing Strange That the Band,
After More Than Ten Years Practice,
Should Improve so Wonderfully
In Three Days.

Perhaps tie most conspicuous sue
cess of the parade was the music by the
Second regiment band. This was a
good baud when it came here, but it
has exhibited marked improvement
every afternoon and the marches yes
terday afternoon were in as fine spirit
and even more martial than the airs
played by the Artillery band on dress
parade. The Second regiment band
has a number of frst-class musicians
who live in Sumter, AID it is matter
of cbagrin to the public spirited peo-
pie of Columbia that an organization
like Prof. Schumacher's cannot be
started here.-The State, July 19.

TYBEE DAYS BEGUN.
rtrst Ball of the Season Given Last
Evening ut the Hotel.

First Ball of the Season Given Last
Evening ut the Hotel.
Although the weather yesterday look
~ rather inauspicious for Tybee pic
,irking and acted as a setback to those
Who had plans for the afternoon, the
evening was fair and pleasant enough
n admit of many going down to the
island for the Lawton Cadets drill, and
first ball of the season, for which the
prospect was dull enough at one time,
may be recorded as very successful
affair.
The late train, put on last night for
+be first time, will be continued as
usual on ball nights all during the sum-
mer. The hotel is furnishing this year
good music and all the customary at
fractions that make Tybee popular
when the town is dull, and gayety pos
sible there when here II is out of fash
ion. The picnic parties this year have
selected 1t almost unanimously as the
most accessible and most desirable Of
places in which to spend a day or an
afternoon of idleness. In a short time
will begin the pleasant afternoon trips
for a plunge in the surf and a fish sup
per and the gay parties of young
neople who cannot forego the enjoy
ment of dancing even in summer, when
il is possible to find it under such
agreeable conditions, as with cool
breezes blowing from the ocean, the
sound of the surf in ones ears, and the
moonlit sky in sight. Last evening
ushered in the Tybee dances in a man
ner that augurs well for their popu-
larity during the summer.

PLAYED IN SAVANNAH
THIRTY YEARS AGO.
Veteran Minstrel Man Wanted to See
Notice He Received.

Notice He Received.
News for a newspaper notice of what
he described as ''the most gorgeous
clog costume ever made" Charles
Boyd, an old time minstrel man who
played in Savannah during the sea-
sons of 1S75-6-7, told yesterday MORN
ing something OF his experiences. Mr..
Boyd hardly recognized Savannah as
the place he was in nearly thirty years
ago.
Il was here with Happy Cal Wag-
goner's Railroad Minstrels," said Mr..
Boyd. 1--WE played in a white looking
theater. You see I've just got to
town and don't know anything about
the way things look now. l was also
here with Haverly's Ministries. l was
also here as member of the troupe
of Boyd & Ware.
"After leaving Savannah. l went
with Haverly's, staying with him
until 1892. We played in Texas. Utah,
Frisco and in fact in every large town
In the West. In Aspen. Col. we play
ed for Ave years without missing a
single night. In Denver, Ell Paso,
long engagements.
In Savannah we wore our new clos
costumes, which were made in Augusta
at a cost of $22 per suit. The colors
were red, orange and blue, with caps
to match 1 still have the vest.
I'm the old days the actors were
much more versatile. Why, l had for
ty-four stunts and played six months
with change each week, in Phfladel-
phia.
MY career as an actor began in the
old National Theater In Cincinnati,
when 1 was 10 years old, and l have
been forty four years in the business.
At Leadville we played during the
days of the gold strikes. Often
have picked up more money on the
stage than we could get for a week s
engagement. We played three years
in Leadville.
when we played there 1T was to
crowded houses on two-night stands
They were almost hanging by the win
dow stills to see the show But there S
no money in the minstrel business any
more unless you have a show of your
own"

FELL FROM SKIFF
AND WAS DROWNED
GOVERNMENT LIGHT KEEPER.
INGERMAN JENSEN IN BOAT WHEN
oV9GHT IN UNDERTOOK.

Schooner MilIie BOhannon Was
Towing Small Craft In which I'm
fortunate Man Was Seated-PiIOt
Looked Back and Found Boat
Overturned and Occupant Missing.
Home Was at No. SAT ST. Julian
street Where He Lived with
Wife and Two Small Children.
BY the overturning of his skiff
while being towed by a schooner,
Ingerman Jensen, government light
keeper, was drowned in the Savan-
nah river yesterday afternoon about
four miles below the city.
The pilot of the schooner happened
to look back and saw the frail skiff
had been caught in the under-tow of
the schooner and capsized. Its occupant
was nowhere to be seen.
The schooner Mile R. Bohannon,
of Capt. Lawrence, was being lowed
into Savannah by the tug McCauley,
Capt. Rodgerson. The tug was some
distance ahead. At first Jensen was on
the schooner and had his boat attach
ed to it, but as the boat did not tow
TO suit him, he left the schooner and
got into the boat. Within twenty
minutes from that time the skiff had
overturned and its occupant gone to
watery grave.
At this time the boat was opposite
South Channel and the wind was blow
Ing a synhll gale. Owing to the fact that
the tug was some distance in advance
the alarm could not be given, and
Capt. Rodgerson did not know of the
accident until after he reached Savan-
nah.
News Brought to Wife.
The news of the tragedy was broken
to Jensen's wife last night at her home,
No. SAT st. Julian street, east. Mrs.
Jensen at first refused to believe that
her husband was dead, as when ne
took his leave yesterday morning he
had intended to return to-day. Though
unwilling to give up all hope, the
wife was Frustrated by the blow. Be-
sides his wife he leaves two children,
aged and years.
For the last four months Jensen had
been employed by the government to
tend the first four lights below the
city. Previous to that he was on the
tug boat Regis, and before that was
captain on the fire boat.
Was Born I'm Sweden.
Mr.. Jensen was born in Sweden and
was A years of age. He came to this
country when a boy, and settled first at
Savannah. For several days Mrs.
| Jensen had been in failing health and
her husband had come home frequently.
He left home yesterday morning early,
| saying that he would be home to-day.
| The affection between the husband and
| his wife and children was noticeable to
the neighbors, and when the tragic
! news was brought to- the city many ex-
| pressions of sympathy were heard for
the stricken family.
No effort has been made to find the
body. AS the river is quite deep at the
point where the skiff capsized dredg-
ing would have to be employed A
! watch will be kept for it to-day by
craft on the river.

grea tness, he said.
Physical greatness is not alone ma

be great. There must be trained in

teach the subjects the power Of ODE

only seventeen marriage Essences issued
to white persons. Sixty were issued
to negroes, making a total of II. The
small number of licenses issued to
whites is in marked contrast to those
