AT the present prices OF corn there can

article. The purpose Of the compact
perfected here, and to be ratified at the
convention at Chicago TO morrow, is to
raise fund of 81 200 daily by prorata
assessments OH all high wine disLillers,
and TO use the proceeds as a subsidy ia
pay the exporters OF alcohol TO Europe
such bonus per gallon as will enable
them TO export alcohol and compete
with European producers. The assess
inent agreed upon Is two cents on each
bushels mashed daily. The siguers OF
the paper represent manufactures as
follows: Kentucky, 8; Ohio, IL; Indiana
4; Illinois, y, Missouri, 3; Wisconsin, q
iowa, /; Nebf aSkA, !. These AZ dis
Lillers represent half OF the entire pl o.
ductlve capacity Of the whole country in
high wines.
The compact limits them to daily

SINGING FOR CHARITY.


Nearly $4,000 Realised for the
Michigan Sufferers by Patti.
Under the very excellent manage
ment Of Mr.. John Lavine, Steinway
Hall was crowded on Wednesday
evening, the occasion beng Adelina
PATHS concert for the relief of the
sufferers by the Michigan fire. The
house was filled in every part by
fashionable and musically cultivated
audience. 1t was said at the box
Office that the receipts were quite
$4,000,
The platform was partially occu>
pied by prominent citizens and
newspaper men. Among the former
was Mayor Grace. The audience
was seated before 8 O'Clock bat the
concert did not begin until half an
hour later, owing to the garrulous-
ness Of one Mr.. George N. Sanders,
Chairman of the Mayors relief com.
mittee. Mr.. Sanders seemed to think
that the concert was quite a seconds
ary affair and began windy, tedious
harangue about Michigan and what
he and it'certain other people" had
done for her relief. The audience
hissed, laughed and finally drowned
his voice altogether. When he fin-
ally sat down, everybody cheered.
Shortly afterwsrd Patti appeared On
the platform and was gwen splendid
ovation. Having given the spectators
an ample view of her she retired, and
the programme was given a chance.
Signor Gorno, fair pianist, played Ru-
binstein's Tarsntulla," and was fol-
lowed by Mile. Hohenschiltd, lugubri-
Gus contralto, who sang q German song
in melancholy measure. Then came
Nicolini. The ladies in the galleries
stood up when the famous tenor entered
and covered him with 1900 opera glasses.
He is an ordinary looking gentleman,
with robust, pleasing and well culti-
yIted voice, the natural wear and tear of
which have taken refuge In tremelo.
He sang romanza from ''Martha," an
encore gave the famous solo from "Ballo
in Maschera" with splendid effect Patti
followed and sang cavatina-"Ernani
lnvolemi"-from Verdi. "Ernani'. Her
rendering of the trying passages dis
played not only the great volume and
richness OF her tones, but the marvellous
mastery with which she uses her voice.
The outburst which followed was the
reward of merits and by no means SEN
timental. She was recalled several
times, finally repeated portion of the
piece, and retired amid shower of
roses.
AT this point the irrepressible Mr..
George N. Sanders rushed TO the front
OF the stage and proposed three cheers
for Patti. The proposition was coarse
and untimely and the audience hissed
Mr.. George N. Sanders back into his
seat. He blushed deeply, and for the
remainder-o of the evening preserved a
dignitisd silence.
Mime. Patti subsequently appeared, and
was heartily cheered. Signor Pinto,
portly gentleman with very ordinary
basso sang an AIR from Verdi, and was
followed by Patti ald Nicolni in a duo
from "Traviata,' the vocal blending in
which was exceedingly delicate and
delightful. In second part Patti sang
the famous yalse from Meyerbeer's
"Dinorah" with exquisite finish, and
with the grand qaartette from "Rigo-
letto," in which Patti, Hohenschlld,
Nicolihi and Salvini took part, the con-
cert came to a glorious termination.

SPORTING EXPLOITS OF THREE wILs
MINeTos LAWYERS.
Three of the denizeps of Exchange
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Harry Sharpley,
VIM. T. Lyman and Henry 9. Turner
took advantage of yesterdays fine
weather for cunning Our In the
country. They started before break
fast, the only suggestion OF food In the
entire party being a box OF parlor
matches for the purpose of starting a
FIRE for cooking the game that was sure
to be slaughtered.
The noble sportsmen were well
armed, Counsellors Sharpley aud Ly.
nam being provided with 44-calibre
Winchester repeating rifles, while
Counsellor Tuner was rendered es-
pecially ferocious by plug hat and
big club.
They started out with light hearts,
empty stomachs and joyous anticipa-
tions.
1t is not necessary to follow the
details Of this memorable trip. Suffice
it to say that 1t WAS long aud weary,
and by Counsellor Turner's estinfte
(which he says was computed by ac-
tual measurement) covered at least
forty miles. They environed stanton
several times, aud so completely that
the inhabitants fearfnlly imagined
themselves in a state of siege.
The expedition was not barren of
practical results. Counsellor Turner
kept an accurate record Of the result
of The promisouous shooting that was
INDUCED in, and kindly furnishes the
GAZETTE with q copy of the official
score, as follows:
One red-head woodpecker. ..#
One black head woodpecker.
One squirrel. ..@
Two rabbits. -..- .....
One blue bird.
Strict regard for truth and justice
compels the statement that the Shoots
ing of the blue bird was the result of
an accident. Counsellor Turner
dropped his eye glasses, and In fran
tic Struggle 10 regain them struck
Counsellor Lynam's gun, causing 1t TO
discharge. The unfortunate blue
bird chanced TO fly into range just at
this critical moment and its life paid
the penalty of its carelessness.
The squirrel was shot by Counsellor
Sharpley while ii was sitting under a
fence with its back turned TO the ma
rauders.
1t is Counsellor Turner's boast that
with his formidable club he came
within one OF killing as many rabbits
as Counsellor Sharpley. BY way Of
explanation it may be added that the
latter killed but one rabbit and Coun-
sellor Lyman the other.
1t is said that at an early day Ex-
change Row will have grand feast
of the trophies of this memorable
hunt. -.-... .-.-.--

the Egyptian nation to prevent such a
