The Famous Philippine CoastsbHIary
Hand VIII STOP In Omaha.
Thirteen thousand miles Is a long journey
for a big band of musicians to make in
order to take part in the inaugural eere-
monies OF the president Of the United
States. That is just what the famous
Philippine constabulary band is doing. This
great organization OF eighty-five trained
musicians from the far cast landed the
other day in San Francisco and Manager
Gillian has made arrangements to have the
band stop in Omaha and give a concert ON
Sunday evening. February 2.
II is said that nowhere else in the world
is our grand national anthem 50 often and
so splendidly played as in Manila by this
great band. These ~F1lipinOs are natural
musicians and are particularly fond OF
martial music. The Star spangIed Ban
ner" seems to thrill them as no other COM
position ever has and they never let a dav
pass from one end Of the year to the other
without playing that selection. which sends
a thrill Of patriotic pride through every
true American.
This grand band is one Of the chief al.
fractions in Manila. where its evening con-
eerts OF Luneta beach are enjoyed by
thousands Of natives and Europeans every
day II will be sOmewhat astonishing to
hear this fine band from the orient dis
course in a mastery Mariner not only ou-
popular American airs. but the most cIassic

ClARICE VANCE AND HER
SONGS.

The famous Marian" song. which THE
SUNDAY WORLD presents To It's readers
bext Sunday. written by Nose Gumble and
introduced to the American public by Miss
Clarice Vance. is one OF the reignng sue
ceases Of the vaudeville stage. Seldom has
I, popular dltty met with such universal
recognition and seldom has song OF its
character been so admirably Interpreted By
gifted singer.
For a number OF years Miss Vance has
held a high position In hrst-class vaude-
Vile as vocalist. She Is known as the
Southern Singer. No American artist Of
quality has yet deIncated the darby dittles
Of this country with such originality.
Miss Vance began her successful career
IN Boston a few years ago, whore she made
her initial debut in modest little VARIETY
house. But almost from her initial appeal
ance she commanded attention.
The songs which Carice Vance has popu.
larized are legion Among these may he
cited such oddities as Marian" THE sun
DAY WORLDS song, I'm Afraid to Go
Home in the Dark" It's new successor. II
Used to Be Afraid to Go Home" II; Looks
Like a Big Night" and her famous "sa-
lone" novelty one OF the real hits OF the
season.
One OF the salient characteristics Of this
singers versatility Is the fact that, although
she has many imitators. Miss Vance never
initiates others. THE SUNDAY WORLDS

Congress Yields to no other from any

protective policy. Every man is a
Stand patter on the tariff. They have
had a hard fight and 1t is not yet over,
hut victory seems practically assured
now. The two items in which West
Yifginians are most interested and
which II has been hardest to protect,
are coal and timber, for many of the
States which have but little or no
coa1 and timber want these put on the
Tree list and their congressman work
to that end. The speech OF Senator
Scott made in the Senate yesterday
afternoon was one of the dearest ex.
positions yet set forth as to the wis.
dom of protection. Senator Scott is
not much in sympathy with tariff tin.
kertng Just now. He thinks the coun.
Try has ~prospered as never before In
the nations history under the Dlngley
bin and he really prefers now to let
the Dingley bill remain operative, but
there is such a strong demand for re-
vision that something must be done.
However, he shows that care must be
taken that the protective principle be
not placed in jeopardy. His speech Is
strong, interesting and convincing. We
believe IT expresses the sentiments of
the vast, majority of west Virginia
citizens whatever their politics and
we feel certain that IT will have
weight in the final adjustment of
ates in the new tariff bill. The State
o West Virginia is sound on the tarift
and II Is pleasing to know that its
representation in congress stands
right on this great question.

WHY HE SEIZED CERTAIN PROP.
TY CLAIMED BY FARMING.
TON MAN.

Constable C. W. Hawkins was called
to Squire Toothman's ,ofRce at Farm
ington to-day to answer why ne seizeI
property claimed by Harvey Frey.
Frey lived in house belonging 10
Agnes Burgoyne and her husband.
Some time ago Frey thought It would
be a good thing to have the house
heated by gas. He asked Burgoyne
about it. Burgoyne told Frey that ne
could not see that It would be of any
benefit to the owner. Frey proposed
10 do the work and furnish ialf Of tue
pipe. They reached an agreement
and the line was laid. The line was to
be Burgoyne's when Frey moved from
the house.
About the first Of April Burgoyne's
son moved into the mouse. Frey toni,
up the pipe. Burgoyne Instituted a
suit in detinue before Justice E. S.
Amos, Constable Hawkins executed
the writ and seized the property.
Constable Hawkins will have
no difficulty in freeing himself
because he required and in
Identifying bond before serving tie
writ and selling the property. His IN.
noyance comes from the loss of tire
that 1t takes for him to go to Farm.
