Lieut. Santelmann, director of th Marine Band, has adopted 4 practical way to settle the much-debated question what kind of music the people enjoy. A re-. cent Intimation from him that he was going to have no ragtime" selections, except aa encores, and then only If convinced that the people wanted them, led to so much criticism that he decided to settle the question by appealing te the public. Accordingly he, announced a request programme for the conoert yesterday afternoon on th "White House lot.

This la conceded by the German preeo, that la by all the edi-tora remaining out -of Jail, and nothing but perversity of spirit can explain the conduct of M. Ch. Bonnefofl In bringing lo light the facts which follow.

"History Ignore the name of Roland, The celebrated story writer Willibald Alexis tells us of his exploits in a book which la very popular tn Germany, and lr which he la portrayed aa defending the liberties of Berlin against the margraves nt Bbandenbourg, snd finally becoming reconciled to hie magnanimous conquerors. But Alexle forgot to give the source of the legend. Toward the close of the middle age there was a wooden statue ef Roland on the Molken Markt. This tva thrown down by the margrave of Bnuidenbourg to punish the people of the town for Insolence and to signify the lose of their municipal liberty. Roland waa In reality, the hero of liberty amon gthe still barbarous people.

Hie statues In wood are to be found in almost every part of Germany, dating from th middle ages. They have one at Lubeck. From the multiplicity of monuments in his honor, It might be supposed tbat The Roland, the French Roland, the nephew of Charlemagne, bad left his name among the Germans as a synonym of honor and bravery; but the hero honored by the Kaiser was not of Roncevaux, but of Willibald Alexis." The writer then goes on to poke fun at the fountain of which the statue of Roland la the principal figure. It Is to be noted, however, that the Kaiser found the work so much to his taste that he gave the sculptor. Prof.

The statue of Balzac which Is to be erected by the Paris 'Society of Men of Letters" has been completed, and will be unveiled some time In November. The pedestal is now to be placed at the corner of the Rue Balzac and Avenue Fried-land. Manhattan Beachs musical season comes to a close to-morrow night with a grand "popular concert by Shannoni Band, assisted by Miss Alta Yolo, the California contralto, who was re-engaged for both afternoon and evening concert. Miss Yolo returned yesterday from a successful trip with John Philip Sousa on hiB tour from Atlantic City to Pitta-burg.

She received an ovation In Winchester, where she was remembered ae a little girl before she moved to Yolo County, California. The picture poet-card with which visitor to France and other European countries have delighted their stay-at-home friend le doomed, and M.

The nature of these cartoons has aroused the curiosity of the Presse." Paris, and Its researches in the domain of caricatured sovereigns Is st least interesting. Thus we have King Alfonso and Queen Wllhelmina dressed in schoolroom style, the picture bearing the legend "Lys Deux Go sees," and Kaiser Wilhelm as a sauerkraut "hawker drinking with M.

Loubet, who wears a beretta notwithstanding that he dons the garb of a nougat merchant. Then there ie the Sultan frantically dancing 4 fandango tn the midst of hie harem, and Leo XIII. dressed In dude fashion, holding In his hand a superb looking glare and the latest thing In sticks, to say nothing of a magnificent gardenia In his buttonhole. Close on the heels of this motley crowd comes King Carlos, who would appear to suffer from goitre, as well a from abnormal girth of waist; underneath his picture are the words "Ready for th slaughter house. Nicholas II.

Is of course absorbing Interest for French people, but his portrait Is anything but complimentary to hie Majesty, who appear horribly disfigured and Is described a "The least Intelligent of all tyrant." These are perhaps the pick of them all. A tobacconlet, by the way, was questioned by a Treasury agent yesterday as to what plctorisj cards he sold. He replied: "I have some cards representing M. Loubet being conspue by Jesuits. Can I sell these?" The emissary was nonplussed; the regulation affected only foreign sovereigns, and he referred to hi headquarters for instructions on this knotty point.

the Congregatlonallst and Christian World: The work of Arthur Mees at the Church of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn, where he reoently assumed charge of the music, will be watched with Interest. His leadership of the New York Mendelssohn Glee Club and other choruses, his authorship of choirs and choral music Issued last year, his work with Theodora Thomas, his playing ths organ of St. Patricks Cathedral on festival occasions, together indicate a thorough knowledge and a wide experience In music. HI father was a Lutheran pastor, who was over one church for fifty years, and Mr. Meea will find himself In sympathy with the reverent and unlifting spirit of worship which waa Dr.
