[It was first given out that Private
Secretary Halfard would accompany the
president, but the sickness of his wife
detained him at home. It is feared that
the death of this member of the presi-
dent’s official family will bring his trip
to an end. It will be a great blow to
him and throw a damper of sadness on
his journey. No one need express sur-
prise if the president returns immed-
iately to Washington on receipt of the
sad news.]

F. CRANZ, Prop’r, Strand, bet. 23d and 24th,
A Special Pullman Car, Beautifully De-
corated, to Carry a Committee of Eadies
and Gentlemen to Houston to Meet
and Escort the Visitors.
The general and sub-committees ap-
pointed during last week to make ar-
rangements for the proper reception and
entertainment of President Harrison, met
at the Cotton Exchange at 11 o’clock this
forenoon for the purpose of consultation
and final action. There were some fifty
members present and all showed that
they fully realized the importance of the
undertaking intrusted to them. Nearly
two hours wrere consumed in discussing
minor details, every member having
ideas of his own and being desirous of
advancing them.
One of the first things that came up was
the question of increasing the committee
of three that had bean previously ap-
pointed to go to Houston to escort the
presidential party from there to Galves-
ton. After a lengthy discussion and ar-
guments pro and con, it was finally de-
cided that the original committee, con-
sisting of Leo N. Levi, George Sealy and
C. M. Mason, be added to the following:
Julius Runge, William F. Ladd, R. G.
Lowe, J. W. Burson, J. N. Sawyer, R.
B. Hawley and D. D. Bryan.
It was also decided that Mrs. Wm. F.
Ladd be appointed chairman of a ladies’
committee to consist of five members,
the remaining four to be selected by her-
self to accompany the escort committee
to Houston and there to join the ladies
on the presidential train.
The proposition of Aiderman Jackson
that the committee now completed for
the purpose of meeting the president at
Houston, go in a Pullman car, nicely
decorated with flowers and bunting, this
car to be attached to the president’s
train on its way down to Galveston. Mr.
Jackson was appointed a committee of
one to secure the car.
The following ladies’ auxiliary com-
mittee to assist in entertaining the party
and in decorating the quarters to be oc-
cupied by them at ;the Beach hotel was
then appointed by Chairman Griffin:
Mrs. George E. Mann, Mrs. Wm. F.
Ladd, Mrs. R. B. Hawley, Mrs. F.
Walthew, Mrs. S. Hanscom, Mrs.
Seinsheimer, Mrs. J. W. Burson,
Mrs/ Aaron Blum, Miss Emma Davis,
Miss Mary Davis, Miss Emma Fellman,
Miss Lucie Campbell, Misses McLemore,
Mrs. Thomas B. Gale.j
All other ladies of the city who are
willing to arrist are invited to co-operate
with the above committee.
The various sub-committees reported
through their respective chairmen.
Colonel Sinclair had received a tele-
gram that the fireworks Had been shipped
and would reach here in ample time.
Captain Owens was made chairman of
procession committee and marshal of
the day.
It was also stated that additional lights
for the Beach hotel lawn have been ar-
ranged for and will he furnished by the
citv free of cost.
It was decided to invite Major Ernst
and staff, and also the deep-water com-
mittee, to accompany the* president to
the jetties.
Secretary Bryan stated that he had
sent out invitations to participate in the
parade to all civic and military societies
in the city; among those who had already
signified their intention of taking part
are the foreign consular corps, the three
local military companies, Hancock post,
G. A. R., French Benevolent society,
Italian Benevolent society, with their
band, Marine Engineers, Catholic
Knights of America (three branches) and
the uniformed ranks Knights of Pythias
and Independant Order of Odd Fellows.
On motion of George Sealy the chair-
man was instructed to ascertain by tele-
graph if the president would be willing
to receive or review the school children
ot 5 o’clock on Sunday afternoon. It was
thought that he would readily consent to
this since it would not interfere with his
devotional services or any other arrange-
ment. The secretary was instructed to
notify the school directors of the presi-
dent’s reply.
The intention is to have each child
carry a bouquet and deposit it before the
president, as she passes along the veran-
da, this building a pyramid of flowers,
the like of which he has never seen be-
fore. It certainly will be an imposing as
well as touching scene to witness.
On reaching the Beach hotel after the
trip to the jetties, the president is to be
left to himself to enjoy his dinner in a
private dining room, and to take needed
rest until 8,30 p. m. in the evening, when
the general reception, serenade and
torchlight procession will take place.
The chairmen of the various sub-com-
mittees will constitute a finance com-
mittee and they are to meet and report
at 11 o’clock on Friday afternoon.
Colonel Sinclair suggested the appoint-
ment of a reception committee of one
hundred, with the mayor at the head,
but nothing further came of it.
The committee then adjourned.

The Oyster Roast.
The cars running out to Woollam’s
lake were well filled going out in the
earlier part of yesterday afternoon and
in returning towards evening, it being
the occasion of the oyster roast tendered
to the visiting singers and their friends.
It was a grand success and one of the
most enjoyable affairs in the season.
Fourteen barrels of oysters, twenty half
barrels of beer, an abundance of Holland
cheese and other epicurean dishes were
partaken of by a will and it looked for a
while as though every singer present was
contesting for the big leather medal that
was to be awarded to the man who could
eat the most oysters.
The jury finally agreed to [award the
medal to General D. S. Stanley, com-
manding the department of Texas, and
it was presented to him in a few appro-
priate remarks by Professor Bickler.
The general acknowledged the compli-
ment paid him in a neat little speech
and very modestly contended that Colo-
nel Sinclair or Mr. C. B. Lee, both of
whom were present, were more entitled
to the medal than he. They had started
in to eat oysters ten minutes before he
did and did not quit till twenty-five min-

Has a Few Words to Say About the Re-
ception of President Harrison.
An Evening Tribune reporter, during
his rounds, ran against Richard Nelson,
editor of the Freeman’s Journal, during
which the following conversation took
place:
“What part will the colored people
take in the reception of President Har-
rison?”
“I don’t know if the associations or
militia company will be allowed to par-
ticipate, as the citizens’ committee have
not invited them.”
“ Do you think the federal officials
wrere snubbed?”
“No; not intentionally. As I think it
their duty to appoint,^ committee of
their own, in order to have all our citi-
zens participate instead of waiting for
some one to invite them out.”
“What do your colored leaders say?”
“ I have had no talk with any of them.
But I suppose, as this is no political con-
vention, they don’t care to be mixed up
in a public parade, where they would be
assigned to a position among their own
color.”
“What would you advise?”
“I would advise that all colored organ-
izations turn out, not only to honor Pres-
ident Harrison, but to honor Galveston,
in order that the northern papers will
cast no reflection upon our fair city, the
Queen of the South,”

JUST ONE MINUTE PLEASE.
As summer is coming the question will arise
how to make ourselves comfortable. It is a
strange fact that Galveston people are just be-
ginning to learn how to do it. There are more
fine residences in Galveston, size considered,
than in any other city in the United States, and
less of these fine houses have awnings. There
is nothing so necessary to comfort as to have
, your dining room, parlor, bedroom or office free
from sun, then again, from an economical stand-
point, awnings keep the sun from fading the
shades and carpet as they also protect the finely
polished front doors from the sun, and keep
them from blistering or cracking, this saving
alone will pay for an awning. To meet the in-
creased demands for awnings I have selected
the finest lines of awning goods ever brought to
Texas, and I am prepared to fill orders for awn-
ings and lawn tents of every description at
prices as cheap as the cheapest, work and ma-
terial considered. A postal card will receive
prompt attention. Soliciting your order, I am,
yours very respectfully, GEO. E. ROBINSON,
Cor. Tremont and Ave. A, Galveston, Texas.
It Will Save You Money to Ask for Prices
If you have a home and a carpet, you would
not be without a Carpet Sweeper if you could
find the right one, would you?
The petty cost is nothing compared with the
wonderful saving in dust, and labor, and wear

tribune.
In the Concert Hall.
The first concert last night tested the
capacity and its excellent acoustic possi-
bilities. The seats far in the rear were
found to be equally as good as thos® near
the front. The hall is well arranged in
other particulars, and in its elaborate and
beautiful decorations which have been
fully described in this paper, shows what
the ingenuity of man can do in trans-
forming an uncouth cotton compress and
yards into a temple fit for the presence of
the goddess of song.
The concert opened at 8.20 with the
overture of Don Juan, by Mozart, direct-
ed by Professor G. Borchert, of New Or-
leans. It was grandly executed and en-
thusiastically applauded by the vast au-
dience. This piece gave the audience an
idea of what was in store for the lovers of
music and worked them up to a high ten-
sion of expectancy.
Next followed the songs from Mendels-
sohn—the Merry Wanderer and Divine
Providence. The first is in praise of
God’s wonders in nature and pronounc-
ing the wanderer here below happv who
can see, understand and enjoy them.
The songs are two of the great master’s
gems of song and they were creditably
interpreted by the mass chorus of the
Texas German Singers’ League.
Then came the six old Netherland
songs of the year 1626, which was the
time of the revolt of the Netherlands
against Spanish tyranny. To understand
these songs, so full of pathos and barbaric
tyranny it is necessary to be conversant
with the history of these times. The
Netherlands were invaded by the bar-
baric hordes of King Philip II, of Spain,
under the command of the inhuman
Duke Alba, who was the pliant tool of
his bigoted master. The songs are full
of the fire, agony and heart-rending
supplication of those desperate times.
The baritone solo, William of Nassau,
sung by C. H. Mueller of San Antonio,
was a magnificent piece of work. Wil-

What incalculable good may be accom-
plished in the domain of musical art, by
the recurrence of such festivals as a San-
gerfest can only be appreciated by musi-
cians who, having heard the programmes
of like occasions held before in our state,
listened to the performance last night.
Every year brings a reinforcement to
the now fast increasing list of good musi-
cians scattered through Texas, and their
work is being surely felt.
The debut of Miss Garriessen was suc-
cessful beyond the most sanguine expec-
tations. Hers is a most uncommon
voice, a contralto, rich, pure and flexi-
ble, a quality as rare in a woman as is a
magnificent tenor voice in a man. It is
proverbial in musical circles that the
possessor of such a voice holds a fortune
in his or her hands. Miss Garreissen’s
artistic singing of “Armida” has
brought the musical circles of Galveston
in pleasurable anticipation of her solo on
Thursday night.
Why did the orchestra drag so in the
Don Juan overture? However we soon
forgot it in listening to what followed.
The “Netherland Lays” were exceed-
ingly interesting. Their marked nation-
ality expressed by the one word “quaint”
was delightful, and Mr. Mueller’s solos
gave pleasure.
Our esteemed contemporary gives the
palm of victory to the New’ Orleans quar-
tette. He was undoubtedly taken by their
sweet voiced tenor. They did sing well—
•uncommonly well, but the triumph of
excellence belongs to the Beethoven
Mannerchor of San Antonio. Their
shading wras unsurpassed; they have the
most magnetic leader. Carl Beck played
upon them as upon an instrument under
his hands.
Pity that such programms are not
graded, for it is an injustice to place a
lesser light after the radiance of a
greater. The Schumann Traumerei was
much enjoyed by the audience, although
most musicians present would have pre-
ferred some selection w’hich is not so
often played.
There were some passages of fine effect
in the Bridge of Sighs. Mr. Oscar Ga-
reissen sang with dramatic expression
and his exceedingly musical bass voice
was a delightful surprise. He should
he oftener heard in Galveston.
Last but not least, we mention the
musicianly singing of Mrs. Mayo-Rhodes,
our distinguished guest from St. Louis.
As in the case of Miss Gareissen, we
want to hear her again, and after her
concert aria tonight find words to praise
her as she deserves.
When the true love of music fills heart
ivieuueiHfiuiiiis,
and mind of any individual, how does it 12- Flfth Sympho%’reh^s1J
lift them above all petty thoughts and
cares, elevating, ennobling human na-
ture to the utmost—else how could we
account for the disinterested, herculean
labor of such a man as Heinrich Wil-
kens?
The Glgt of the Correspondence Between
Governor Tillman and Secretary Noble
Regarding Division of School Money
Appropriated by the Government,
Charleston, S. C., April 15.—A
unique and interesting phase of the
states rights question has just been pre-
sented in the correspondence between
Governor F. Tillman and Secretary No-
ble. The subject of the correspondence
is the division of the state’s share of the
federal appropriation for mechanical and
agricultural colleges. At the session of
the state legislature which adjourned
last December an act was passed provid-
ing that the quota to be received by
South Carolina should be divided into
two equal parts, one-half to be given to
Clemson agricultural college, for whites,
at Pendleton, and the other half to Claf-
lin college for colored youths, at Grange-
burg. A few days ago Governor Tillman
addressed a letter to Secretary Noble ap-
plying for South Carolina’s quota of the
fund appropriated under the act of con-
gress approved August 13, 1890. In reply
Secretary Noble objected to the method
of the division decided upon by the
state legislature and informed the gov-
ernor that his state’s quota wras at
his disposal to be divided between
the two colleges on the basis of
proportion of school population. This
proportion, under census of 1890, was
37 per cent, whites and 63 per cent, col-
ored, and the secretary announced that
it was only by pledging a division on
this basis that South Carolina could get
the money. Under act of congress, the
money will remain in the hand of the
secretary of the interior until congress
meets, when the state can appeal to that
body. The state authorities announce a
determination to carry the matter to the
supreme court, if necessary. Governor
Tillman has raised the issue that the
money was due South Carolina and that
the secretary of the interior bad nothing
whatever to do with the division of the
fund. Naturally Secretary Noble differed
with him, and the governor, a day or
two ago, issued his ultimatum in a letter
to Acting Secretary George Chandler,
wherein he says: “South Carolina has
dealt liberally with her colored colleges
in the past and I am sorry to see it crip-
pled by the refusal on your part to ac-
cept the apportionment proposed by the
state government. I have authority to
do no more, and if I had I would refuse
to accept the money under the terms you
offer.”

liam of Nassau became the leader of the
Netherlands in their heroic struggle, in
the stead of others who had fallen under
the executioner’s axe by treachery. It
was indeed a treat to hear Mr. Mueller
in this tragic piece.
The battle song chorus was beautiful
in melody and realistic in the clash and
strife of carnage. One could almost feel
that he was the midst of the fight.
In the farewell to the battlefield, bari-
tone solo, Mr. Mueller, of San Antonio,
amply sustained the reputation he made
in the first one. He captured the audi-
ence in both instances.
These war songs are wonderfully in-
spiring, and were continued by the
chorus in Berg op Zoom, ini which both
the singers and audience entered into the
true spirit of the theme.
The last was the Hymn of Praise in
chorus, in which God was thanked on the
battlefield for the victory gained. It was
beautifully sung, and in every note was
breathed the prayer of thankfulness.
The fourth, Recitation and Aria, from
Armida, was sung by the debut-
ante, Miss Gareissen. The young
lady far surpassed the most ardent ex-
pectations of her friends and gave the
audience a pleasure seldom experienced.
The thunders of applause approved better
than words the success of the accom-
plished young lady. She was literally
buried in flowers by those who recog-
nized her as one of the most promising
of those rare productions, a pure con-
tralto.
Male chorus, My Dream, cintura, by
the Austin Ssengerrunde, directed by W.
Besserer, depicted the wonderful
love of song that lives in the souls of
this organization. The impress they
made will make them a welcome when
next they appear.
The San Antonio Beethoven Manner-
chor, in Ossian, male chorus, had a se-
lection from which it is difficult to pro-
duce a pleasing melody, yet they accom-
plished it to the great pleasure of the au-
dience.
Male chorus, “The Forest,” by the
Harmony society of Shelby, was a de-
lightful theme. There is a restful, cool-
ing sensation in these songs, and the
Shelby singers carried the audience away
from war and strife and pathos to a pas-
toral retreat in the shade.
Male chorus, “Greeting to the Fore«t,”
by the Houston Sangerbund. With new
pleasure the audience passed from onfe
pretty forest song to another. The Hous-
ton boys did themselves proud.
If one possibly should be no lover of
music, and had heard the “Reverie” by
the string quintette, it would certainly
have converted him instantly. “It was
heavenly,” remarked one enthusiast.!
“The Bridge of Sighs,” by Thomas
Hood, music by Herman, a mixed chorus,
solo and orchestra, by the Mendelssohn
society of Galveston, was the next num-
ber and the parts were taken,[as follows :
Soprano solo, Mrs. Mayo-Rhodes of St.
Louis; contralto, Miss Emmy Gareissen ;
tenor, W. G. Kittle; bass Mr. Oscar
Gareissen.
It would be like carrying water to the
ocean to say anything in praise of the
Mendelssohns, but in the execution of
the Bridge of Sighs they have beat them-
selves. With two such ladies as Mrs.
Rhodes, the wonderful soprano and the
not sufficiently to be praised alto of Miss
Gareissen, a tenor like Mr. Kittle and a
bass like Mr. Oscar Gareissen, assisted
by the thoroughly schooled ladies and
gentlemen of all the Mendelssohns, the
beautiful music of the Bridge of
Sighs could not help but come fully
up to the highest and most pleasing ex-
cellence. It was a piece and an interpre-
tation never to be effaced from the mem-
ory of those present. Following is the
full program of last night’s concert, with

ATTENTION—The present charter of The
Louisiana State Lottery Company, which is
part of the constitution of the state, and by de-
cision of the SUPREME COURT OF THE
UNITED STATES, is an inviolable contract be-
tween the State and the Lottery Company, will
remain in force under any circumstances
FIVE YEARS U.ONGEH, UNTIL 1895.
The Louisiana Legislature, which adjourned
July 10th, voted bj' two-thirds majority in each
House to let the people decide at an election
whether the Lottery shall continue from 1895
until 1919,—The general impression is that
THE PEOPLE WIJLD FAVOR CON-
TINUANCE.
