The Thursby-Ole Bull Concert.

The fact that the Abbott opera troupe at the
theater drew packed house, aud that hun.
dreds were unable to obtain even standing
room at the Thursby concert at Lincoln hall
last night, serves to show that the people OF
Washington are music-loving community.
Ours is a community also that can appreciate
classical music. and Theodore Thomas ranks
Washington as the first city in the country in
this respect. At the concert everybody was
happy. The performers with such an audi
ence, were naturally inspired to do their best,
and they one and all were called out again and
again. Miss Thursby again established her
right to the first place amongst the concert
singers OF the world. Signor Ferranh, born
buf1o gets almost equal applause for his inim-
ton. BrigHot, The famous tenor OF quarter
of a century ago, seems to have renewed
his youth. He came out in unexpected force
last night, and though he probably could not
stand the strain OF carrying through a heavy
part in grand opera, he was quite equal to
the role OF the concert room. Ole Bull always
great favorite in Washington, was greeted
with tremendous applause Those who remen-
Der him thirtyfive years ago On his first visit to
this country, remarkably handsome young
man, TALL black-haired, full-chested, slender
Waisted, will recall much Of his old manner in
the present white-headed veteran of seventy.
He retains his Shapely erect figure, and has still
the same way OF tossing back his flowing hair
he holds his violin against his cheek with the
same caressing movement, and closes his eyes
fashion. There have been violinists ia his day
who have surpassed Ole Bull in brilliant eXecu-
tion, but probably none have rivalled him in
Sympathetic touch.

IT, Ais Lands. f tlf

Major Walker of the St. Louis store has
just returned from a trip to the canton
ment on the Little Missouri. He reports
the work on the extension as progressing
rapidly. Walker, Bellows g. Co. have ex-
cellent ability and are pushing the work
with energy. The gradingin the Bad Lands
is feat in railroading almost uDparallel-
ed. Material, horse carts, narrow guage
portable railroad, dump-carts and all 9th
er tools necessary for construction Of the
roadbed are being taken to the front. Mr..
Walker thinks the iron horse will no
doubt take water from the Yellowstone
river by next fall For grazing, Mr..
Walker says that the Bad Lands are des-
tined to become of much note. He was
surprised to see men cutting good quail
ity of hay in j anuary with an old fashioned
scythe. Cattle behind the bluffs in the
Bad Lands are thoroughly protected from
wind and snow, and they can find good
grazing the winter through. Capt. Baker,
Maj. Garland and Lien:. Ingalls, have
just completed the filling of u large ice
house, packing the cakes between layers
Of hay cut this winter around the canton
ment. Capt. Baker says that he consid-
ers this hay as good feed as any that
grows in the Territory. The weather
though cold is not as bsisterous and blz-
zardly inclined as 1t is further east.

EEafr-braatith Escape.

4 TRIBUNE man dropped into .
dreamy mood yesterday, and has figured
out curious ahd difficult problem.
There are on an average mans face about
$4,000 unsuspccting hairs, which come
out to greet the barbcr's razor. Suppos-
ing man should get shaved but once a
week, these hairs would reach growth
of about one sixteenth Of an inch each.
This would he equal to one hair $50 feet
long. Now there are fiity-two weeks in
a year. therefore if the BARRIERS clippings
could be saved and placed end to end
they would MAKE hair 1920 feet long,
or in other words about three miles of
hair grows on a mans face annually. II
man lives to the age Of eighty years he
will have taken from his face hair 240
miles long or Of sufficient length to run
from Bismarck to Fargo and encircle
each city twenty times.
