WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington-, D. C, Juno C, 1890
One of tho most pleasant features of
tho summer in this city, is the weekly
concert by the Marino band, at tbo
White House grounds. The initial en
luriainnicm ior mo current season was
given this afternoon. Programme of tbo
music appeared in tho locali papers and a
delighted audience heard the numbers
artiscally discoursed by tbo porforinera
under the leadership of Professor Fanci-
fulli.
Tbo band was stationed upon a plat
form in tbo center of tbo park that
stretches out in front of tho presiden
tial mansion, towards tho river. Great
throngs of people, who wont there
to be amused, roamed about over tbo
grass, and under tbo shade of the trees,
a low only having opportunity to sit at
eaau upon iue rustic seats which ap
peared to bo lost id the immensity of tho
grounds.
Tbo music was finely rendered and
every one was delighted with tbo per
formance. Tho president and family
(ol course, the babies included) listened
to the concord of sweet sounds, and
watched the moving throng from the
portico of the mansion, evidently to their
great satisfaction.
The winter uniform of the band ii very
si:
rikmgand at the same time highlv
suggestive of British origin. The coats
are of a boiled lob3ter hue, and their
length skirts allow only a small portion
of light bine trousers to bo seen. The
pipings, belting and other trimminga are
white, with brass buttons and a small
quantity of gold braid ; a jaunty soldier's
cap completes tho dress. But this car
coloring has been packed away, presum
ably where neithor moth nor rust cor
rupt, and, today, all the garments are
white, with holmets which glisten so that
they suggest lumps of frosted snow.
Surely these erformera must bo cool or
their appearance belies them.
The number constituting the band is
between thirty and fortv, and none but
"' luuo.twus are eiiioi- to en
listment in the organization. Of course.
-I,.. : - - -. .
everybody knows tint a marine is a sol
dier who does duty on board ship. Tho
U. S. Marino Corps is in manv respects
similar to a reciment of infant rv. al
though the organization is that of a bri
gade. The headquarters of the brigadier
general commanding, and the staff, are
at the marino barrack?, situated in the
vicinity of the navy yard, in the south
eastern quarter of thii city Tint place
is the homo of the band.
To enhance the attractiveness of all
public occasions, the levees, or recep
tions, of the President, and other ircat
gatherings for ceremonial purposes, tbo
service of this band is imperative. At
all state dinners, at the President's
bouse, these musiciaus in all their bright
clothes, are placed in one of the rooms
adjacent to the state banqueting ball
and fill the air with melody, whilst the
guests aro filling up with substantial
realities, both liquid and solid, and
tuckincaway good things where they
will do most good.
This band is ornamental, highly orna

amce of this oreanization. Mnsir is

The selections given at the alfesco
recitations, by Professor Fancifulli and
bis men, aro generally made for the pop
ular taste but whenever occasion admits
ho and they are quite capablo of offer
ing the best and most elaborate of classic
works. Peoplo generally like books

Not many years ago ooo of the mis
tresses of the White House bad a num
ber of friends invited to hear some mu
sicians who played and sang most
charmingly and cycryono applauded to
the echo. But on an evil dav snmo
weak brother or sister wrote a caustic
criticism upon the function and printed
it in tho columns of a local paper, Iu
tart lines we were all told that, "Johnny
get your gun," "Tommy make room for
your auntie," "Down went McGintie to
bottom of tho eea," "Whero did you get
that hat?" and the liko, wero no good.
and also that everybody at tho gathering
was disappointed becauso Wagner, Men
delsohn, Chopin and other great com
posers were not. drawn upon for tho en
tertainment of the audience.
Of all the unhappy peoplo tbo ono who
cannot enjoy popular music must bo tho
most unhappy. For it is so rarely that
the works of tbo masters aro perfectly
rendered that the severely critical must
go hungry many a time when others
browse upon what they find at band.
Blessed oro they who do not desire
much for they shall not be disappointed.
OfcourBo eomo music is better than
some other musi c, but if tho public likes
what aro called popular melodies, pop
ular melodies will the public have, no
matter what tho critics may say, no
matter what Hie crilics may think.
short time ago Paderowski, who is
probably tho greatest of living pianists,
gave a concert here. He had a largo
and distinguished audience. Tho per
formance was well wortli attending. Of
course every pieco wbb in tbo highest
Btyle ol musical composition and
dorod in u most masterly way. Tho
man uas Dcen pcriorinmg on the piano
for moro than a quarter of a century,
doing only that, why should bo not do it
well?
Aa the audience was leaving tho hall, a
very intelligent gontlemnn remarked to
mo: "I do not know anything about
such music, but it rrust be very fine and
I presume I have had full value for my
two dollars."

a fivo or ten cent voluntary contribution,

Additional Outrage.
nsToni., juno n. Additional re
ports of outrages by striking fishermen
near Clifton were received by the steam
er Miler this morning, and show that
tbo situation ia fully as serious at that
point as has been reported. Sheriff
Hare received the following letter
"Clifton, Or., Juno 13. To J. W.
Hare, Sheriff Clatsep County : We tel
egraphed you regarding the boarding of
the boat and throwing of fish overboard,
and your asking for particulars. The
steamer Seafoam is doing all she can
but, us fisherman came, they only spread
out, and the steamer cannot cover the
ground, Several new boats started out
this morning, among others, Vincenzo
Madiflich, who laid out at daylight drift
ing about Woody island. About 10 a.
m. several boats came onto him, and be
lore be realized what they wanted, they
ordered him to drop sail, and then they
took charge of hia boat and towed him
into Woody island Blougb. Some of
them jumped into his boat and threw
bis fish overboard, and forced him to
assist inj throwing the remainder into
the water. He says there were over 50,
or about two tons. There were fish in
the net, and they drew the net ashore
and pulled the fish oat and threw them
away. Afterwards, they gave him back
the net. They took his revolver, but
failed to return it. They threatened his
life ami pulled a gun on him to iboot.
but one of bis friends threw up the man's
hand and said "don't shoot," so they
spared his life, though towing him into
the slough and out of sieht looks like
some of them expected to put him along

there appears to be some bad men
around the lower part of Tenas Iilahee
island, and if the steamer was away
some fisherman would probably be shot
I suppose Captain Beard told you about
the shooting of -am Brown last night,
and you see we must protect the boys or
they will have to give up. The salmon
are plentiful and the bovs are all doing
well, and it's a shame they cannot fish.
There are a good many more going out
Sunday morning, provided you can pro
tect them. 1 think with a steamer
around Woody island, the boys would
not dare to interfere. There were boats
from Pillar Rock and Brookfield in the
gang that captured Mardisich. I hope
you can see your way to provide another
steamer and some more deputies."
upon receipt of the letter. Sheriff
Hare at once had a number of deputies
sworn in, and, having supplied them
with fire-arms and an abundance of
ammunition, dispatched to the scene in
a steam launch. The sheriff reiterates
his determination expressed yesterday
tojeover the entire lower river with pa
trol boats if necessary, and feels confi
dent of his ability to afford ample pro
tection to the men who desire to fish.
To the Death.
Tkavebs, Flo., June 15. Mrs. Robert
Gresbam is dead, and Mrs. Mollio Gaines
dung as the result of a duel in which
they wero engaged near Clermont yes
terday afternoon. Three months ago
Mrs. Gaines was a haiinv bride, and
Mrs. Gresbam, who was a young widow,
was her dearest friend. Two weeks ago
this love was changed to hate, for Mrs.
Gaines discovered that her husband's
affections had been won bv the widow.
Mrs. Gaines learned yesterday that
ber husband and Mrs. Gresbam had
planned a meeting at the latter'a home.
Taking her husband's razor, the young
wife went to the widow's homo and
lound tho couple together. Gaines fled
and his wife sprang upon her rival, using
the razor with awful effect. Mrs.
Gresbam picked up a hammer and de
fended herself aH best she could, dealing
Mrs. Gaines blow after blow on the
head. Finally Mrs. Gaines reached her
ival's throat with the razor, severing
the jugular vein and causing almost in
stant death.
Neighbors who came in found Mrs.
Gaiuea unconscious beside her dead
rival. An examination showed that the
blows from the hammer had fractured
her skull, Both women came from good
families, and both were noted for their
beauty.
Not For Christ's Sake.
The Republican National Convention
was formally opened with prayer by a
Jewish Rabbi. Tlio invocation was sub
stantially on tho same lino of thought as
wo are accustomed to hear ou public oc
casions, except tho closing which showa
the absence of the Christain's "for
Christ, our Redeemer's, sake, Amou."
It cloned with these words: "May thy
Graco, O God, come upou us and do
thou establish tho work of our hands."

A Child Lost.
Yesterday afternoon the atttention of
Mrs. W. F. Benjamin and Miss Anna
Talbot residing at 405 Washington street,
was attracted by the screaming of a child
in seeming great distress near Judge
Thomas Smith's barn, at the foot of
Spruce street. These women noticed
that the Ecreaming continued with ap
parent intensity as if the child was un
dergoing something more than ordinary
trouble, and they went to ascertain, if
possible, what was the matter with the
child and learn whose it was. Upon in
spection they discovered a child about
three years old in between two buildines
only a few feet apart. It had crawled in
1 . . i
unueraience ana climbed over some"
rubbish and got penned in and couldn't
get out, and had set up an outcry of
screaming with all its might in a most
distressful manner.
The ladies were unable to extricate
the child from its self-imposed confine
ment and called for the asstistance of J.
Bacher, who was only a short distance
away. By his aid tho child waa taken
ont its immediate trouble. But now an-1
other dilemma presented itself. They
did not know whose child it was. No
one in the neighborhood knew and the
child could not tell. After diligent in
quiry in the neighborhood and no knowl
edge of the child's home gained, the
ladies started up town to turn the child
oyer to the city marshal. On their way
they saw a woman approaching at a
rapid pace and in apparent great dis
tress. Upon a nearer approach the wo
man discovered the object of her search,
her lost child, that she had been in
search of for along time, and waa greatly
rejoiced over finding her darling. The
child belonged to Mrs. Collins, who

Found Dead In a Cabin.
Legh Harnett, tho well known writer,
who has been writing up Southern Ore
gon miuea for a number of yeara past,
was found dead in a cabin near Wolf
creek station last week. He bad evi
dently been dead for several weeks when
found, and it waa impossible to tell
whether his death was due to natural
causes or suicide. However, the suppo
sition ia that ho died from natural causes.
The deceased was a dilletante of somo
note, having been correspondent for a
number of prominent journals. A few
months ago he wrote a series of interest
ing nrtieles on Southern Oregon mines,
which wero published in the Time?.
Mr. it. was unmarried and nearly 70
years oi age. tie was a true gentlaman,
who dad seen better days. Many will
regret to to hear of hia sad death .-
The Homicide Last Sunday.
By the kindness of I. B. Riddle, stenog
raphic reporter, we have been permitted
to look over the testimony of several
witnesses before the coroner's jury yes
terday, taken at near the place of the
homicide. Omitting considerable pre
liminary testimony not specially rele
vant to the shooting, we give extracts of
the evidence elicited from the witnesses
ofthe difficulty. U. M. Tipton saya:
"I waa standing about one foot of
Bice and about eight or ten feet, I sup
pose of Dixon.
'Will Dixon was umpiring.and a young
man waa striking that when he
Btruck at the ball ho stepped over the
base, and I tbink they called him ont.
Jim Dixon said, "put him -out." and
Cbas. Rica asked Jim Dixon if ho was
umpiring the game. Dixon said,"I can
umpire over yoa or under you" (or words
to that effect,) and then jerked out his
sir shooter and began to shoot at him.
John Atterbury testified substantially
totheeame thing aa to the shooting,
auu aa to;wnat lead to it he said:
"When Dixon said to Rice, I can um
pire the game over you,' Rice tarned hia
coat, just to one side like, and Jim
Dixon shot him with a pistol."
Aa to the existence cf former trouble
between these men there was nothing
elicited except that Bice had told R. T.
Blakely, one of the witnesses, that they
had had trouble before.
The above testimony is all one sided.
The defense has not yet offered any evi
dence of an extenuating nature. Eyeiy
quarrel has two sides. We ask-our
readers to not be hasty in forming an
opinion as to whether this homicide ia
justifiable or not. We cannot leam the
fnll particulars until the witnesses are
put on the stand and their testimony
given. There baa not been a preliminary
hearing of thia case yet. Dixon will
doubtless waivd examination and await
the action of the grand jury next Mon
day. School Report.
