THE MARINE BAND
History of Uncle Sam's Famous
 Musical Organization.
STARTED BY A KIDNAPPING.

Tradition Says That the Original Band
 Was Spirited Away From Sunny
 Sicily by Captain MoNeil of the
 American Frigate Boston.
 One of the best known and most popular musical organizations in this country is the United States Marine band. It is always selected to furnish the music at important government functions, such as inaugural balls and receptions at the White House, and is always assigned the post of honor in notable parades. Indeed, it Is the ablest and most famous military band in the country.
 There is an interesting tradition that the original Marine band was kidnap- ed from the sunny slopes of Sicily. The story goes that one Captain Me Neil of the American frigate Boston was cruising in the Mediterranean, when his soul yearned for the sound of real music. an art that had been little developed in this young republic. When ashore he heard a regimental band play so tunefuily that the bluff old seadog became inspired The in spiratlon was promptly put into eXecu- tion. In his suavest manner he in- vited the SicllianS aboard his ship to play for "a ball." The invitation was accepted with alacrity, induced no doubt by the prospect of American gold.
 A few nights afterward the entire organization was on board the frigate with its instruments when the captain suddenly found it expedient to return to the United States. So 1t was up anchor and away before the aston ished Sicilians could protest. There is no authentic record of what became of this band of Italian musicians, as many of the marine corps archives were destroyed in 1874.
 The official records do show, how ever, that shortly after the marine corps was organized, probably in l8ol' Lieutenant Colonel Archibald Tender son brought from Naples a group of thirteen Italian musicians, which was the inception of the organization as an instrumental band.
 An act to establish marine corps was approved by President John Adams on July II, 179S. This law provided for a drum and fife corps consisting of sixteen drummers and sixteen fifers, one of whom should act as fife major. This constituted the Marine band until the arrival of the Neapolitans, about three years later.
 For several years the band had no special leader First one member and then another acted as fife major. This practice continued until Aug. IA, 1915, when J. L. Clubb, of the sloop Lexing- ton, was regularly appointed and served until 1924. He was succeeded by Eutine Friquet, who served until Oct. %, 1880, when Francis Schenig was appointed, serving until Sept. 22' 1S43. Schenig was relieved by Francis Scala, who served until 1S4S and again from 1854 until Dec. 13, 1871.
 It was under Scala's leadership that the band first became famous. He in- augurated the open air concerts at the White House and the capitol grounds, for which congress allowed extra com pensation in 1856. These concerts grew in such faYor that steps were undertaken to improve the organiza- tIon, which was still officially known os a fifa and drum corps. Legislation

NEED OF COUNTRY CLUB.
(TncsOn CitiZen.1

tI0CSDH OiLiLSh.t
 Golf enthusiasts in this city are finding that a course on the mesa northeast of town, while a fine thing. is somewhat lonesome and entirely incomplete without a well equip ned country club. 4 golf course is incidental to a country club.
 The old club was never a success because of it's location. A place un- der the big trees in the valley would be delightful the year around. The grounds could be beautified and the club made more attractive.
 Tucson is tagging behind in this particular regard. Not only Fl Paso, but a number of Arizona cities much smaller than Tucson already rejoice in country clubs, and every one has proved a successful ana pop ular project from the start It is doubtful if any of these cities have as inviting site as can be secured ] in the valley west of Tucson and near the city; it is certain that none of them has the climate that Tue son boasts. We believe this coun try club idea is the solution of the rrobIem to attract and hold in this city, as the premier pleasure resort J of the health giving Southwest, tho iclass of wealthy customers who have money and want to spend 1t If they can get for it what they want. Fine automobile speedways, a country clui with a golf course and other acces sories-all will combine with oui matchless climate to make TucsoT famous from coast to coast.

ALBUQJERQUE WILL
 HAVE COUNTRY CLUB

ALBUQUERQUE \. M.. April 12
 The meeting of the golf committee Of the Albuquerque commercial club last night was an important one ana marked by much enthusiasm
 By far the most important of the whole list of propositions discussed was the extension of the street rail way system to University heights, on the east side of lhe city, the building there of a eommodions country club. after the manner of many Of the up-to-date towns Of the of the Southwest. the lay ing out in connection with the country club of fine tennis court and a golf course Of sufficient merit to rejoice the heart Of the most ardent golfer in existence.
 Plans for the club building have already been drafted and were last night submitted to the committee as a tentative proposition.
 During the course of the meeting 1t developed that many towns in Arizona not as large as Albuquerque have country clubs, which are swell places Of resort for the ladies and gentlemen of the city and their friends, where theey can enjoy a cool and pleasant evening in the heated term, or can, if so inclined, engage in the more exhiliarating exercise of golf or tennis. Phoenix, DisDee, Douglas, up-to-date towns in Arizona, are all supplied with clubs of this description, while in Fl Paso, I ex., is one of the most sumptous i Country clubs in the Southwest All these clubs have golf courses in con lnection and there tournaments are
 held which are a source of continual pleasure and profit to the members. 1 The plan proposed last night con i templates the establishment of a
 handsome club house beyond the university and the extension of the
 street railway to within at least two blocks of the club. The committee elected A B. McGaffey president and Jonn Lee Clarke secretary Mir Clarke was instructed to at once put himself in communication with a
 number of the famous golf experts | of the country who are now in Cali
 tornia, and will be passing through thls city shortly on their way to the
 Last. They will be invited as the guests of the Albuquerque Commer-
 claI club to stop of in this city,
 look over the proposition and give
 the local enthusiasts the benefit of
 their advice, both as to the location and other matters. The other mem bers Of the committee who were
 present were J. Ii. o Reilly, Herman
 SweIzer and Theodore $. Wooisey.
 A further meeting will be held in the near future

WHO WAS ORIGINATOR
 OF TRAP QUOTATION7

Ely you write a better book. or breach a better sermon, or make 9 better mouse trap than your neigh ! Dor. though you build your house in the woods, the world will make e beaten path to your door. This quotation has been used bX the West Publishing company in ad- | iyertising a certain book which they publish. and the quotation is credit ed to Emmersea Judge D. A. Rich ardson of Douglas noticed the quota ton and being sure that no such ut terance couid be found in the works of Emerson. and being equally sure that Henry Ward Beecher first used the words quoted in one of his Brooklyn sermons. wrote the follow ing letter 10 the West Publishing company. calling attention to their error:
 Douglas. Ariz.. March 22, 1911. West Publishing Company, St Paul, i Minn.:
 Gentlemen Henry Ward Bcocher was the author of the quotati If you write a better book. or cench a better sermon, or make better mouse trap than your neighbor. though you build your house in the woods. the world win make beaten path to your door" Mir. BeeChef ! used this language in the introduc- ! tion of a sermon preached in Brook i lyn, in January, 1874. 1t was on the Sunday following his famous sermon against blasphemy. which began i Tt is colder than hell today" I heard a man say this just as I was com ing into the church. The first quo tation was published -n the New York Herald on the day following it's ideliverance, and later credit was given for it in Scribner's Magazine. in an essay on American Achieve ment."
 The quotation was, therefore, not one from Emerson, as published by you in your book advertisements, Truly yours, D. A. RICHARDSON.
 The following letter was received lby Judge Richardson from the pub fishing company, which discloses the fact that Ebert Hubbard also lays claim to the authorship of this trap quotation:
 St Paul, Minp, April 1. 1911. D. A. Richardson, Esq, Douglas, AriZ
 Dear Sir:-We have written to the New York Herald asking them to search their files for the sermon of Henry Warde Beecher, which he de livered during January, 1874, and in which he used the mouse trap quo tation. The Herald advises us that they are unable to find the quota tion
 Is it possible that you are mistaken in your recollection that the ser mon was reported in the Herald rather than in some other New York paper? In view of the fact that our distinguished contemporary Ebert Hubbard. now claims the au ,thorship of the quotation. the mat ter takes on additional interest. We certainly do not want to have the credit taken from Henry Ward iBeecher if it belongs to him.
 We sincerely ask your hearty co operation in andeavoring to run this matter down and will greatly appre lciate any further information which lyou may be able to give us.
 Yours very respectfully,
