The Mozart Society Concert.
Almost delightful entertainment was
given at Estival Park last night by the
Mozart Society. The audience was
large, fashionable and amiable, the ar
rangements elaborate and carefully
conducted, and the affair may be
classed as one of the most successful
successes of the season. The attend
ance was large enough to comfortably
fill the airy concert room, both up
stairs and down. The evening was
neither close or too chilly, but just
right for comfort. The street cars
were admirably handled, SO that Wis
itors went or came at will. The hall
and ground decorations were admira-
BILE, Chinese lanterns Illuminating the
shrubbery and the grove in a brilliant
and tasty manner, and the scene was
as animated and picturesque as the
fanciest taste could desire.
A slight disturbance in the pro-
gramme twisted by the conductor of
the concert to give time for the singers
to arrange their costumes, occasioned
some remarks but no confusion. A
few waits between numbers, influenced
little impatience on tho part of
few, and kept the audience until close
to midnight in reaching their homes,
but all else proved pleasant, both to
the society and to its patrons. After
the orchestral overture which termi
mated at just nine o'clock, Misses
Houston and Peak rendered a pleasant
duett, entitled "Cheerfnlness," and
did it cheerily as well as sweetly.
Following this Mr.. Stanley in sailor
habit, gave the we'll practiced Nancy
Lee" aided by chorus of half a doz-
en- also in sailor rig. They were
encored and sung the last verse over.
"Ode to the Winds" by a chorus of
twenty voices, half feminine followed.
Then came "Kathaleen Mavourneen,"
by Miss Ora Berry in an Irish lady's
costume. Mr.. Refs basso aria,
"In Wine Vault" was
resonent with liquid sounds, and in
terspersed with few "ROw came you
So actions, as if the singer had really
lost his way among the wine casks in
a dark cellar.

IT is said that Plat first suggested
the idea of resigning from the Senate,
and that when he disclosed it to Conk-
ling the latter insisted on having the
prestige and honor of resigning first.
But when it came to withdrawing
from the race at Albany Conkling let
Platt take the lead. He was SO mod
est that he let the long term contest
ant for his old seat walk off with the
honors. Platt has gone; he has van.
ished and will be seen and heard no
more in politics. He is a light weight,
a respectable nonentity, a figurehead
on the Republican craft. With Conk-
ling it is otherwise. He will be likely
to fight it out, and should he be de-
feated he will rise and come again, as
Andrew johnson did when he was
repeatedly beaten. Conkling is able,
aggressive, proud and bold. One de-
feat does not crush such man. He
no doubt sees now that he made fool
ish move when he resigned, and must
feel Inundated at his position before
the New York Legislature. But he
will outliye all this. His sub
lime audacity will come to his
relief whether he wins or loses. He
is not out Of politics merely because
out Of Office, and will be a power in
the shaping of politics in the State of
New York let this contest 20 as it
may. 1t is Republican scramble in
which Democrats cannot take sides or
feel any special interest save as they
may hope to derive some slight politi-
cal advantage from the division in
Republican ranks. Such advantages
however, are usually of short dura.
ton. 1t seems that Platt withdrew
without Conkling's permission. Plat
no doubt feels better for this the one
distinguishing act of his life. He is
ahead of Conkling for once, and my
Lord is not in good humor about it.
He thinks he ought to lead every
thing, even to a mastery retreat
Should he lose ground and be
compelled to abandon the field
he would have to follow his
late man Friday, NJ. n. Platt; a
greater humiliation for a lofty spirited
man could hardly be imagined. When
great party leader has to follow
Plstt, he drains thevery dregs in the
cup of modification. A good General
always provides avenues of retreat. to
be used in case OF disaster, but Conk-
ling has only a narrow shaky little
bridge in his rear, and it has been
travelled by Platt.

A DANGEROUS PRIMA DONNA.

Speaking of forgotten prima donna of
many years ago, the London Musical
World says: Nine. Maupin's adventures
are innumerable and of all kinds. Like
the celebrated Chevaliere d'Eon, she was
noted. successfully or simultaneously, for
the most contrary tastes and habits she
dressed herself, just as the fit took her or
according to circumstances, now as a man
and now as woman, and being of quar-
relsome and vindictive disposition, often
had recourse to the sword. Her comrade,
Dumesnil, of the opera, having one even
ing offended her, she dressed in male attire
and waited for him, after the performance,
in the Place des VICTORIES where she knew
he must pass. Without revealing her
identity. she insulted and endeavored to
make him fight. As he manifested no de.
sire to crafty her wish, she gave him a
sound thrashing, and after taking his
watch and snuffbox, left him stretched on
the ground. The next day, in the green.
room, he took it into his head to describe
his adventure, with several gross viola
tions of the facts; he asserted he had
been attacked by three rufians, against
whom he had valiantly defended himself
though without being able to prevent them
from robbing him. cit is lie," said
Nine. Maupin, after listening to him.
You are nothing but cur and coward.
You were attacked by me alone, and the
proof is that there is your watch and snuff
box y and with these words she flung the
articles in his face. Thevenard, we are
told, was nearly being treated by her in
the same manner, and was obliged to apol-
ogize On another occasion, when, dressed
as a man, she was at ball given at the
Palais Royal by Monsieur, the Kings
brother, she annoyed a lady by unbecom-
ing remarks. Three of the lady's friends
took up her cause, and Mme. Maupin, on
being challenged, left the place without
hesitation, and, sword in hand, killed all
three opponents. She then quietly re-
turned to the ball, disclosed her identity
to Monsieur, and begged him to obtain
pardon for her, which he did. The end of
this extraordinary woman was no less
strange than her life. She sent for her
husband who had remained in the prov
inces, and lived with hun most irreproach-
ably several years. She died in 1907, a
pattern of virtue, aged thirty-three years
and few months

1t is not generally known that Cardinal
Newman early in life had some thoughts of
devoting himself to a journalistic career.
When he was young man at Oxford, in
anything but effluant circumstances, he
made such an impression upon the direct
ors of the Times by some letters on educa-
ton which he contributed to that journal
under the nom de plume "Catholicus,
that he was offered an engagement on their
staff at a handsome salary-fl, 800 per
annum is the figure that report says was
mentioned. "Shall be free," asked the
young man to whom this tempting offer
was made, to say what l think ?" The
reply was in the negative.
