The greatest military bandmaster
that the United States has ever had
was Patrick Sarslleld Gilmore. whose
brilliant record as a conductor began
two years before the Civil war began
and ended thirtythree years later In
st Louis, where Gilmores famous band
for years furnished the band concerts
given In connection with that city's
annual exposition,
By his work as a bandmaSter In tho
Union army during the Civil war. Gil
more gained national fame. and with
his colossal national peace jubilee of
1869 and his doubly colossal world 3
peace Jubilee OF 1872, held OF Boston
Common, he gained an International
reputation. Who of US music loving
oldsters have forgotten those wonder
full musical festivals, OF the success OF
which Gilmore never had any doubt
while he was planning them, because
he had perfect confidence in his lucky
star, and felt that that star was in
the ascendant at the time of each ju-
bilee
How profound believer Gilmore was
in his lucky star. OF that intmtive In
spiratlon which always guided him, 1
had an excellent opportunity for OBJ
serving in the summer of 1883. That
season Gilmore. with his band, was
possibly tho most attractive feature
established at tho then famous Man
haitian Beach, the seaside resort on
Coney Island,
1t was Gilmore's habit, whom the
evening performance was over, to let
himself out, and he would sit chatting
with friends until the hotel was closed
for the night, telling many reminls-
ccnccs of his musical and military ca
rccr.
One evening. while he was chatting
with me and four Others he suddenly
turned on US with. Tomorrow l shall
have a lucky day, 1 know II, but 1
can't tell YOU how / know IT. But
my concerts viii be the best l have
given this season. and the attendance
will be the largest. Everything will
go OF in perfect order. Whatever
attempt will be successful"
III you are going to be SO lucky as
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1910-01-20

all that" laughngly replied one OF US,
why don't you mako a bet on some
of the races2 That would be a good
test of your belief in your lucky star.
There are to be some big races at the
Brighton Beach Park tomorrow after
noon"
Il don't know anything about racing
or horses answered Gilmore. II have
seen only q few races In my life, but
I'll tell you what I'll do. Hore are six
of us, including myself. Let us see II
we can got a list of the races for to-
morrow and find one In which six
horses are entered. Then, that found,
we will make u pool. say for five dol
lars each. Each of you five may pick
a horse. 1 wiaI talte the one left. and I'll
wager you all a good dinner that my
bet will be the successful one"
That was test which appealed to all
of us. and on the following day the pool
was made UP, and In order to have 1t
perfectly fair all round, the five of us
who were against Gilmore chose by lot
five horses entering In the race and
the remaining one Gilmore took. Nell
ther no nor any of US knew anything
about the six horses.
When the race began We sat apart,
Gilmore apparently the most Indifferent
member of the little group. He did
not even know by Its colors the horse
on which he had staked his money. But
when the race was half over one of the
group who knew the colors turned to
him and said: Gilmore. you've lost.
Your horse is way behind
Wait till the race Is over" conf
IDENTIFY retorted Gilmore. And when 1t
was over the judges announced that
the horse upon which Gllmorcs money
was wagered had won.
II told you II would" Gilmore twitted
coolly. Let me see what my winnings
are. and out of them I'll treat you all
to good dinner on Saturday night"
Later. as We walked away from the
races. Gilmore connded to me that no
could rely implicitly upon his intuition
as TO whether or not he was To be for
tunate in any undertaking or upon
any certain day. and that when his in
tuition told him to attempt nothing he
religiously obeyed the secret warming
Perhaps his obedience explains in con-
siderable measure the phenomenal sue
cess that was his for SO many years.

MORE EVIDENCE.

AS our readers are aware an extend
ed effort has been made lately, In con-
traventlon of the unanimous testimony
of history. to prove that the Prophet
Joseph and his brother. the Patriarch.
were murdered by men belonging to
the Church.
Copious quotations have appeared In
a hostile print. In alleged support Of
this proposition. But. upon examlna-
ton, they are all found either to have
no bearing whatever upon the subject.
or to prove merely that, at the time
of the conspiracy that eliminated In
the Carthage tragedy and the subse-
tates were plotting against the
Church, and even talking murder But
there never has been any doubt as 10
that. That sad truth is on record.
There is. however, vast difference be-
tween the historically well attestcd
fact that Nauyoo. at the time. was the
scene OF apostasy and bitter hatred,
and the other proposition that men,
bcrs OF the Church fired the fatal shots
that stained the soil of Illinois with
innocent blood. No proof of this has
been offered. so far.
Colonel Hay has given circumstan-
tial account of the sanguinary deed.
We have quoted him extensively be-
cause no one can accuse him of pro-
Mormon" tendencies. and there is no
reason to doubt this part OF his mar
ratIve, because 1t is amply confirmed
by other investigators. Colonel Hay
