\u25a0.If Sousa; were to. give any more con

the largest crowd of the present season
.assembled v to see. him and hear^ his

stand and everybody; acquitted : himself
creditably. -;' As a r special reward
Sousa played more encores ' than at any
•previous . concert, so that the measure
Of : enjoyment ,was "filled even though
.the first concert was never played.
. The ;>blg crowd". wanted his marchefa.
He played "Manhattan," "Washington

of ; . brain . and foot ;: weariness, , "Pow
•hatan s; Daughter." and some more- that
I' don't 'recall- this 'minute, besides; his
immortal ."Stars and Stripes Forever."
'•.None of those were down on the pro
. gram, '• but were givep to make the
measuf^ "'„. good. Besides, he played
•Mascagnl's barbaric "Hymn." to the
Sun"; and speaking; of hymns reminds
nic, he played 5 <! Nearer My God .to
.Thee,'.;., perhaps . because [re
quested it vto see- how it really -goes,
then he played" Litolff's "Robespierre"
overture with, its bloodthirsty "Mar r

passages are- emphasized tonally by the
great "brass of the band, and the .cli

must suffer something— as :' Mascagni's
music did when played last night— from
the lack of scenic aids.

Suit Involves Company's
• Claim That Earthquake: : :
Caused Fire* .
It is not often that a" good lawyer,
admits 'that ho has made a mistake,
but ; T..' C. Van Ness. : counsel .'for the
Commercial Union assurance company,
limited, 'of London, did so yesterday in
the • United " States- circuit court of

from the verdict of the Jury . against
the- company 'in favor of Thomas : L :
Bergin should be dismissed. ; Bergin
recovered a', verdict for $6,7.78. against
the i company" last January on apollcy
of insurance for the loss April 18, 19.06,
of a brick building at 511: and 213 Cal
ifornia street. The company took the.
ground that the flre had been caused di-i;
rectly- or : Indirectly by the earthquake,
but failed to convince, the jury, vln his
appeal "Van Ness set up as his second;
assignment of error the following:
That the -circuit court erred In sustaining the
\u25a0 objection of plaintiff*, counsel to the question
propounded to • tbe witness, Herman Schusslor:
"Will you stat> briefly, and without golnj -too
