..rhs March Of the Man q H.rl.oh. /.

In military music the march occupies
a prominent position and has, been
employed not only to stimulate cour-
age, but also from about the middle
OF the seventeenth century to insure
the orderly advance Of troops One of
the earliest instances of rhythmical
march is the Welsh war strain, THE
March of the Men of Harlech," which
Is supposed to have originated during
the Siege of Harlech castle in 146s.
In England the military march was

John Hawkins In his History Of Mu-
sic" tells us that its characteristic was
dignity and gravity. In which respect
1t differed greatly from the French,
which was brisk and alert, and apro-
pos of this subject the same author
quotes witty reply of an Elizahethan
soldier to the French Marshal Biron's
remark that "the English march. being
beaten by the drum, is slow, heavy
and sluggish" "That may be true"
he said. "but slow as It is 1t has

a promotion, well earned by his pre-

Minister Arthur M. Beaurre will be
transferred from the Argentine Re-
public to the Netherlands to succeed
Mr. Hill, and Spencer S. Eddy, now
secretary of embassy at Berlin, will
go as United States minister to the
Argentine Republic.
Hill is not so wealthy as his prede-

DIR. Hill was college professor at
the age Of 20. He served ten years
as president of Bucknell university
and nine years as president of the
University of Rochester, resigning to
travel in Europe and study interna-

school of diplomacy in connection
with George Washington university
attracted favorable notice, and in
1898 Mr.. Mckinley made him assist.

One of the fruits of DR.. Hills resi-

Miss st. Cyr gets her French name

probably the French of those red In

found in Paris at the present time.
When Miss st. Cyr was placed on

those Indians in disgust put on their

They were only too glad. A sleigh

Madden drove direct to the railway

be more in line with good politics.
II has been practically conceded
that William Jennings Bryan will
be the nominee Of the Democratic
party, yet some southern democrat
has had the audacity to suggest
that 1t would be the proper thing
for Bryan to nominate Roosevelt
for the presidency. This suggestion
coming as it does in the very
face of the assertion that Bryan
was the prime mover in the re-
forms upon which Roosevelt has
made dis. record, that Roosevelt
copied Bryan's ideas and sought to
enforce them, is indeed most mop
perfume. Had the southern gentle
man suggested that Roosevelt nom
mate Bryan instead of Bryan NOM
mating Roosevelt, there would have
been mNp reason for the dem
ocrats applauding and sanctioning
his remarks.
Instead of commenting upon the
dissension in the republican ranks
and specializing upon the possibility
of Roosevelt being nominated and
elected it would be better policy
