TWO CONCERTS.

The West hotel last night was the
temporary home of three of Americas
distinguished musicians, Madame Ter
resa Carreno. DR.. Louis Mas and Sig.
Eiberati. The two former artists are
here filling engagements, and the we'll
known cOrnetist is trying to make some
for the spring.
In Dyer's music hall last night Teresa
Carreno made her first public appear
ance in Minneapolis. The audience was
wretchedly small and a reprOach to the
cultured people of the city. considering
the low price of admission and
the merits Of the lady in question.
There is no need of criticism in
describing the performance, for with
ont doubt CarrenO stands among women
unrivaled as performer and mistress
of the piano. Her personal traits are
most charming, and the movements Of
her graceful person. careless and nat
ural, and touched with an easy elegance.
add largely to the naivete of her attract
i've looks; but this is merely by-pIay
compared TO the splendid work she ac-
composites at the instrument. Her
repertoire last night was varied, OPEN
ing in the first two numbers with the

Chopin. The second part was of more
ditfusive character, and while ali
through her work was received with
genuine pleasure and applause, when
she completed the third mum Der with If

bounded. When the nature of the pro-
gramme is looked at. and the wonderful
technique that it calls for, and the

gained of the wonderful power of

NOTHING WRONG.
Another Case OF u Little Evening
Haner'S NSenSafinnSv SnOilPu.

Another Case OF u Little Evening
Papers "Sensations" Spoiled.
The paper which is variously labeled
1.-THE Star-NewS," and The Evening
Star and News" in its efforts TO secure
sensations is in the habit of handling
the names of reputable people and
distorting facts with reckless abandon
that challenges establishment if not
admiration. Last evenings issue con-
tanned rambling account of ease
'inVolVing some mysterious features"
in which Ellen Anderson, a Swede girl
about thirty years old, is the
prominent figure. 1t seems that the
girl went to work for Mrs. J. Il. SHIRLEY
at Ill NicOllet avenue about three
weeks ago, and within the past few
days has shown signs of insanity.
violent, and escaping from her
room ran out on the street attired
only in a wrapper. when she was cap
tured by policeman and locked up.
Friday afternoon she was taken before
Judge Van Schlegel and committed to
the city hospital as temporarily insane.
Christine Anderson, her sister, is then
quoted as SAYING:
Ellen came TO this country in April,
ana went 10 work Tor the lady alluded
tn three weeks ago. She was assigned a
room on the first floor. next the kitchen,
and from the first night she was an
nOyed and alarmed by noises as if some
one were in the room. She spoke to
the lady about it. From the first
the latter talked good about
her boy, Charley, and told Ellen
what 4 nice boy he was, and
showed his photographs, and asked her
if he was not handsome young man.
Finally on Wednesday the lady told
Ellen she must go up to another room on
the second or third floor. and wait for
Charley, who was coming home at mid
night. She protested, but the lights
were put out down stairs and her old
room locked, So she was forced to 90 up
stairs. Al this point Christine's story
became almost incoherent. Interrupted
by her sobs.
The absurdity of the foregoing insin-
nations is apparent to those acquainted
with the responsibility OF the fam
lily named. The girl was given
the best of care possible, and
when she escaped from the room
in her delirium Mr.. SHIRLEY was him
self watching over her. The inquiry of
the Star-News, embodied in the head
ing WAS Anything Wrong?' can Ger
taInly be replied to in the negative.

OMAHA WHISKY
Used by the Detectives With Pete
~. Barrett.
THE TRIAL DRAGS ALONG
Nothing Exciting and Little That Was
Interesting in Yesterdays -, ~
Proceedings. iva

When court opened yesterday morn
ing the redirect examination of the de-
PENDANT, Peter Barrett, was continued
for about half an hour. Nothing differ
ent from what was testified to on the
other trial was elected from thisJwit-
ness, except that on the re-crOss-exam-
ination he said the whisky which was
drunk by the party Of detectives who
examined him at the North side police
station, when he was brought from
Omaha, was furnished by Detective
Kinney. He had got it while in Omaha
and the detectives, after drinking it,
praised the quality of the liquor.
Officer Daniel Day was the next wit
ness called. His testimony was in re-
gard to the search for the pieces of the
tin box, at Rice Lake, and was given
about the same as in the last trial.
John Lally, a grocer, j. III. Long, an
attorney, w. III. Farney, painter, and
j. Z. Mccall, health inspector, were
then called. They testified that Henry
Barrett'S reputation for truth and
veracity was bad, and that they would
not believe him under oath. Mrs. Cole
man then took the stand. Her testi-
mony was but repetition of what she
testified in the trial of Timothy. She
finished her direct testimony at IL
O'Clock and an adjournment was taken
for the noon intermission. When court
convened at O'Clock Mrs. Coleman was
not present and nothing was done until
her arrival at 3 o'clock. She explained
to the court that she was detained at
home and supposed some other
witness would be put On the stand
until her arrival. She then went
on the stand and was cross
examined by the county attorney until
4 O'Clock. She became considerably
confused in regard to dates and contra
dicted herself number of times. When
asked if she wrote a note for the doctor
to come and attend her, she said she
did. The county attorney then asked
her if it was not fact that she was UNI
able to write. She said she could write,
and came to the table and wrote note
to prove it. The county attorney
claimed he was unable to read the note.
but the court decided that he could, and
that it clearly proved that she was able
to write. Owing to the failure of sew
eral witnesses to be present an adjourn
ment was then taken until Monday
morning

saving the familyO honor. Hazel,
thinking her husband, whom she
formally knew as Arthur Carringford,
has deceived her, leaves her new home
and returns to her old one. She reaches
there one dark, stormy night and opens
the window of her old room and hears
her father calling down curses upon
her. She enters and meets Squire Rod
ney, her former lover. who offers again
to marry her. The old man does not
know of her promise, and Rodney
asks his consent; he refuses, and says
he would drive her out as he would
scorpion from his hearth" She then
resolves to die, and jumps into the mill
pond, but is saved by her husband.
Dunstan. the Old miller, upon hearing
his child's cry for help, goes crazy, be-
ing able to do nothing for her,
because since having driven her
out he has been stricken blind,
and his helpless condition flashes over
him in an instant. Hazel soon returns,
however, and the sound of her voice
brings the old man back to his senses
and the play ends with everybody made
happy and the iron will of the miller of
Blackburn is melted. The play runs
the entire week and promises to be well
attended.
The greatest of all living curiosities,
Millie Christine, the living .twO-headed
lady, will be on exhibition at this popu-
lar place of amusement the coming
week. She is really one of the strang
est freaks of nature, being dual
woman with the exception of having
only one body. She sings and talks
with one and both heads at the same
time, and of the thousands who have
visited her at st. Paul the past week she
has been pronounced the most wonderful
freak living. Many people think she is
an Illusion, but such is not the case. she
being a living, breathing human being.

JAPANESE SACRED NUTS.

A New Importation Likely to At
tract Those Who Like odd Edi-
bles.
A qantity of Japanese sacred nuts,
the first ever brought to this country,
has just been received at New York
fruit store. They are called sacred
from from the fact that they are used
in certain forms of japanese worship.
The nuts are placed on the altar and
ignited. They burn with blush
flame and give off a peculiar odor. They
are rich in oil, and the fumes are sup
posed to rise as incense to the gods.
They grow under water. have leaf
like a pond lily, and are shaped like a
steers head, with two projecting horns.
This resemblance is so great that it is
difficult to believe that they are not
carved. In the raw state they are hard
and tasteless, but when cooked they
have the flavor :of boiled chest
nuts. They retain their qualities ten or
fifteen years, and are fit for food when
even twenty years old.

The number of men seeking employ
ment was clearly illustrated last week
when salOonkeeper inserted
an advertisement that he wanted
to hire porter. The situation
is hardly desirable one, yet before
noon he received two score of applica-

words, were from linen with whiskers,
eye glasses, dudes, lawyers and bank

A PARSEE FUNERAL,
The Curious Ceremonial That
Before and After Death.

Before and After Death.
When Parsee is about to die he is
taken to the ground floor of the house,
washed in cOnsecrated water, anointed
with holy oil and placed OH an oblong
stone, says Mrs. LeOnowens in February
Wide Awake. Small earthen lamps
lighted from the sacred fire and placed
around his stony bed, and the fire
priests stand near and chant doleful
dirge. The most extraordinary part of
it all is that the moment life becomes
extinct the house dog is brought in and
masters face and hands it is considered
: most fortunate omen of the departed
spirits ready admittance into Paradise.
The uneducated and ignorant Parsees
believe that every dog has an angel
spirit residing in some star when it is
sues to condHct the souls of the righteous
dead into heaven.
- Next morning number of priests
fObed in pure white carry the body on
an open bier to the Dohkma or Tower
of Silence. This curious national tomb
is huge round tower, situated in some
remote or lonely spot and surrounded
by great branching trees; it is open to
the sky and reaches far down into the
depths of the earth, and is furnished
with number of irOn-grated floors.
When they reach the Tower of Silence,
the relatives and friends stand praying
while the fire-priests place the body on
long slide OF a kind OF see-saw plank
held down by ropes.
This done the ropes are loosened,
the plank rebounds and the lifeless form
slips on to one of the iron-grated floors
of this strange tomb, and is left
for the birds of the air. For their
offices toward the dead the Parsees look
upon all birds as peculiarly sacred.

from both the Hindoos and Mohamme-
dams, who take every opportunity to
ieer at them, calling out: ''Kaw, Kaw,

MATTERS IN MINNEAPOLIS.
4 Hotelkeeper at Outs With the County
Commissioners.
A SENSATION" SPOILED.
Deputy Clerk Alinow's Researches.
General Grist of a Quiet
Saturday.

George A. Rodernick, the proprietor
of the Clifton house at Waconia, is not
pleased over the refusal of the county
commissioners to allow his bill of $3.50
for the board of Henry Barrett and wife,
Chloe Belts and Deputy Sheriff Levi
German while they were being kept
under cover by the prosecution in the
Barrett murder case. He says the con-
duet of German and Chloe Belts was
simply outrageous. He says they
often occupied the parlor rs late as
O'clock in the morning, and
were several times caught in comprom-
ising situations. They remained
there twelve days, until he could stand
it no longer and ordered them to leave.
Under the circumstances we think his
charge of s. L day for each one is very
reasonable.
