EnLERY's BAND LEAVES ToPEKA
Band Closes Engagement With An
mother Good Concert.

Ellery's band gave another good
concert. the second and last, at the
Auditorium last night. The audience
was larger than the night before but
not as large as the band deserved and
not large enough to offer especial en-
couragement to people who would like
to believe that there is any general
and genuine enthusiasm for good
music in this community. Every now
and then somebody starts rumor
that there is and sometimes the rumor
becomes a positive scandal and some
body rushes out and buys a big pipe
organ, on time, on the strength of it,
1t needs something like the Indifferent
reception given Ellery's band, to knock
the wind out of the sails of such reck-
less enthusiasts, anG bring them to the
realization of the truth which seems
to be that the mass of the people in
Topeka don't care for good music
when there is a state fair with
hoochee- coochee shows and things, ten
cent vaudevilles and other such at
fractions at which to spend their time
and money.
The bands second concert strength
first and confirmed the people who
heard both in the belief that the
Ellery organization is the best in its
field. Signor Ferullo, the conductor,
was evidently in an inspired mood and
the men played with the same en-
thusiasm which they showed the first
night and which is, without doubt. the
reason why this band excelS the other
big professional bands. All have
thoroughly trained musicians but they
do not throw their whole souls into
their work at every concert as the
Ellery men do.
Undeniably this band is far above its
rivals in the points of balance. tone,
quality and phrasing as its leader is
above the average conductor in the fire
and passion of his Interpretation. His
much advertised eccentricities aside,
Ferullo leaves an impression which
few musicians give-the impression of
sincere and intense feeling behind his
leadership, of intellectual as we'll as
technical mastery, of equal mental and
emotional response His readings last
weight and insight. He saw into the
dark places of the composers mean
ings and made them clear as daylight
to his audience. There was nothing
new or novel in the programme-the
Tannhauser and Mignon overtures. the
List Second Hungarian Rhapsody, the
Batiste Organ Offertory, the Sextette
from Lucia and the Pilgrims chorus
from Lombardi-all have been given
here before by the big professional
bands but one heard them as If for the
first time last night. Their perform
ance was superior in so many respects
to others that they set a new standard
for band music in Topeka.
The soIoist for last night was Signor
Decimo. first clarinet, who played his
instrument as it has probably rarely
been played before. His number.
Adagio and Tarentelle, Cavallini,
served to show his complete mastery
of the clarinet. His breath control is
marvellous and the purity and quality
of his tones as well as their breadth,
range and volume was a revelation of
the possibilities of the instrument. In
encore he played Wright's Vfolets-
Mr.. Ellery took his band to Atchison
TODAY to play at the Corn Carnival.

THE VERDICT AFFIRMED
'airiCk Must Die In The Electric Chair
for Alleged hurder Of Rice.

Albany. n. Y. June 10--The
court of appeals yesterday by a di-
vided count. voting three to four
sustained the lower courts in adjudg-
ing Albert T. Patrick guilty of the
death of William Marsh Rice. On
April Z. 1902, Patrick was convicted
on an indictment charging him with
the murder by chloroform and mer-
.cury administered to Rice during
sickness in 1900.
Patrick has been under sentence
OF death for three years. Repeated
trials have rendered verdicts affirm
ing the first sentence and finally the
court of appeals took up the case as
the result of certain questions of a
scientific character propounded to
the New York Medico-Legal Society
bearing directly upon the alleged
murder and TO be answered from a
purely scientific standpoint.
The answers were all favorable TO
Patrick's case and the case was re
opened. David B. Hill argued the
case for the defendant at Albany.
Patrick himself being present in
court He was not allowed TO speak
In his own defense, his counsel fear
ing it would prejudice his case.
The decision of the court Yesterday
apparently ends Patrick's hopes for
liberty and escaping the electric
chair.
