FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER "a, 1890.

The General Assembly of Maryland

Annapolis Monday night in order a.
Governor Richie said in his address
to the members ito see that the new
franchie conferred by the Nineteenth
Amendment is made completely eff
fective."
The Governor enumerated add
tional facilities needed for registra-

istration days and more polling
places, and additional compensatio
for the judges and clerks, with pro-
vision for meeting the increased ex-
penses. He then expressed the hope
that the Legislature would confine
itself to consideration of these and
related measures to save the expense
and delays incident to an unneces-
sarily long session.

Famous Band Will Play AT Lancaster


y Announcement has. just been made
that the u s. Marine Band, common
ly called The Presidents Band, has
been engaged to play at the Lancas-
September 29th.
Accepting none but those must
clans who can pass successfully the
most rigid tests, equipping them with
the finest instruments that money
can buy, rigidly adhering to depart
mental regulations requiring pune
tual attendance at full two houi
rehearsal on five mornings of each
week, and with an average term of
service of fifteen years for its entire
present membership, it is not sur.
prising to hear that many noted
Europeans who have heard the band
at the great state functions at the
White House, have pronounced oul
own United States Marine Band the
greatest military and concert band il
the world.
The origin of the Band, according
to some history and much tradition,
is Italian. In fact there is a pretty
well authenticated story that the
Marine Band was kidnapped by Cap
tain McNeill of the American Frigate
Boston. While in one of the Tripo
Titan ports, during the war with the
Barbary Pirates, about 113 years
ago, the gruff old sea captain heard
band of Italian musicians playing
on the streets. He was so delighted
with, their music that he invited
them to come ON board ship that eve
ming and play for his men. When
the time came for the Italians to be
going ashore they found to their con-
sternation that their ship was many
miles out from land and the lights o
the city we're rapidly receding in the
distance. The captain, through an
interpreter, assured them it was
simply little joke of his, and that
he was going to take them to Amer
lea. This, tradition tells us, was the
beginning of the Marine Band.
The Band will play opposite the
grandstand at the Lancaster Fair
A general admission ticket win MAKE
it possible to enjoy the concert rend-
cred by the Worlds Greatest Military
and Concert Band. 1t is interesting
to note that this is the only fair al
which this great musical organization
will appear this year. This is only
one OF the many attractions at the
fair. which will be held Sept. %, 80,
