ssEvenings with the Great Composers"
large and decidedly fashionable audience
filed De Garmo Hall last night at the fifth and
last lecture and piano recital OF Mr.. j. N. Pattison.
The eminent artist selected Mozart as the subject
OF the close OF his highly attractive and instruct
i've musical entertainments He sketched the life
aud characteristics OF one OF the greatest minds
that ever illumined the world OF music with
mastery skill, bringing In apt anecdotes or the
early lie OF Mozart and happy nits at the neglect
and meanneSs SHOWN toward the immortal COM
poser by his countrymen. The lecturers voice Is
clear and distinct ana he has evidently
made good use OF his elocutionary training. The
musical Sc ections were happily chosen, commenc-
ing with pretty little thing written by Mozart at
the age Of four years-a wonderful instance OF
precocity. When an accomplished pianist steps
into the lecture field ana explains the beauties ann
characteristics Of each work he plays the result
may be considered as more satisfactory than hall
dozen ordinary lessons In conservatory.

In the Criminal Court to-day Mr. Davldge, coun-
sci for Harrington, wished to withdraw the pleas
in abatement nled In behalf OF hts client and to
move the Court Tor an early trial.

the Attorney General to say, in view OF the fact,
that the Supreme Court OF the District OF Colum-
bta has decided that the late Grand Jury. was an
illegal body as Grand Jury, he regarded the In.
dictments as nulues or the Indictment as null
lity, and he did not propose to cause further
that so tar as the cases are to be regarded as de-
pendent upon those indictments and resting upon
them the case Ia at an end. Mr.. Riddle stated
further that his duties in connection with this
case were ended, the Attorney General having re-
vOked his appointment.

and counsel 1t was thought best to postpone ac-
