A SECOND MOZART,
Josef HormanD, the Wonderful Pianist
and Composer.


If all that has been written OF the TO- year.
old boy, josef lIofmanu, is true the enthus.
iasm he has created will never die out, and
those who have heard him will tell 1t to
their children's children, as Goethe told IL
Of Mozart, Beethoven, and Josef Haydn.
II is curious fact, and one worth taking
note Of, that the immense material progress
that has been made In the great world has
not left untouched the realms of high art.
In the New York Times on Sunday last
telegram from Boston stated that "Ladies
were waiting as early as O'Clock, with the
thermometer A degrees below zero, for the
box office to open In order TO secure good
seats for the Hoffman, concerts;' also that
the sale for the uofmann concerts in one
day was $1,000.
That wonderfully gifted boy, Josef Hof.
mann, whose piano playing and improvisa-
tions have won for him as much fame as
ever Mozart possessed at thrice his age, and
Mozart always has been the youthful
musical genius, par excellence, for all ages,
appears here at the Congregational Church
on the evening of Jan. o. and again Wednes-
day afternoon, Jan. IL.
As an illustration of the lads thorough
simplicity and boyish Inconsistencies OF
the power he possesses, the story the agent
of the company tells in relation to him is
the very best. Josef is very fond OF lawn
tennis, and recently at a game with few
young girls and boys his side was badly
beaten. The same evening, after one
OF his most successful concerts, he was
asked "How did you enjoy yourself to-
dayW
SOh. not very WE'LL" replied he, 1--WE
were SO badly beaten at lawn tennis.n At
ter moments pause he said "Lawn ten
mis- is a blessed sight harder to get up In
than piano-playing.

Bold Craoitsme en- at Work.

A bold attempt to crack the safe in the Junk
shop of BrodeTick Bros, No. 4O7 b street, was
made early yesterday morning. The burglars
drilled two holes through the door, but for
some reason they left the place without com.
pleting their work. There was about $50 in
the safe at the time. The work is apparently
that Of skilled oraGksmcn, and is similar to the
work done in James Connaughton Il Co.'S
wholesale liquor store, Baltimore, during
Thursday night, when their large safe was
blown open and the contents, $500 and a dia.
mond ring, taken. 1t is thought from their
work they are the same professionals who were
here some months ago and succeeded in crack
ing the safes in Albaugh's Opera House and in

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 4.-There is
considerable excitement here over re.
ported riot in Lowndes county. The
governor received telegram this after.
noon from citizens Of Sandy Ridge,
Lowndes county, asking for troops to
prevent threatened riot. The governor
referred the senders to the Alabama code,
and shortly the governor was called upon
by telegraph by Sheriff Bronson. Of

mob violence In response, Col. Jones,
of the Second Alabama regiment. with
the Greys and Blues and mounted rifles,
were ordered TO the scene They left on
a special train at IL p. m, and are ex-
pected to reach Sandy Ridge about day
light. Recently negro named Galloway
was lynched near Sandy Ridge for the
murder Of white man named Gresham.

grows out Of that affair.
A report from Sandy Ridge says a
posse Of whites and about $50 armed
negroes came in conflict this afternoon,
Several white men were slightly wound
ed. The negroes were temporarily dis
persed.
