The Muslin Concert.

Maguire's opera house was we'll filed up
stairs and downstairs last evening. on the
occasion OF the Muslin concert. The per-
Iformanee was all that had been antici-
tpased. Two of the performers we're new
10 the audience, it being the first appear
snes of Edwin NJ. Shonert, the pianist,
and . OF Whitney Mockridge, the tsnor.
Both had come with the reputation OF I'M.
usual attachments in their profession, n
at their appearance last night it was COM
pletely established.
The programme of the concert was ao-
mirably adapted to set forth to advantage
the particular forte OF each performer, and
the responses to encores left nothing to be
desired in displaying the variety of the at
tainments OF each. The chief interest cen
tered in Divide Musin, the wonderful Bel
gian violinist, whose extraordinary con-
mand OF the king of instruments entranced
and astonished his hearers as it does every
where he appears. What ia most remark.
able IN n. Musin's playing is the ease and
OF hand manner with which he overcomes
the most difficult selections and the grace
that marks his every u:oyement. His bow
ing is in itself q study-.uperbly accurate in
every instance, so delicatei in all it's standings.
Everything he played was equally perfect,
and the enthusiasm he evoked testified the
delight the audience felt. He was recalled
again and again and responded with an a
mirable generosity. His own compositions,
the "Berceuse" and "Valse Caprice"
showed him a composer of equal merit az
q performer.
Mime. Annie Louise Tanner has lost none
of the charm with which she captivated
all her hearers in Butte two years ago, and
the admirable command OF her voice was
well shown in Proch's Air and Varia'
tions" which showed a facility in overcom'
ing technical difficulties remindfulo OF Gerster.
Her voice is as sweet and pure as ever and
she has gained technical skill. Her appear.
anee charmed the audience as much as her
singing and she heightened the good i'm
preston created in her former appearance
with the New York Phiiharmonics.
Mr.. Mockridge was a new pleasure for the
audience, and he verified all hat has been
heard OF him in the first air. He has a
tenor voice OF unusual sweetness and
range, taking high notes with c~learness and
precision that drew forth u~nbounded
plaudits. He may we'll be styled the pie.
nomenal tenor. The audience we're car
ried away by him and recalled him re.
p~eatedly, unable to hear enough OF his pure
and sweet tones.
Mr., Shonert was also new to q Butte au.
dienee, and his extraordinary skill as a
pianist was well shown in his rendering 81
Liszt's "Rhapsodie No. g." to which he
gave execution that would bave satisfied
the maestro himself.
The concert was a pronounced success.
and the temperance Of these artists will
be looked for with pleasurable feelings
whenever it is announced.

TROUBLE OYER Il RANCH.

One of the Gases in Which Jack Dowd

Set.
The cas- of Territory vs. William Ken.
nedy and Charles Dawson was tried in
Judge Lippincott's court yesterday after.
noon, the charge being drawing and exhibit
ing deadly weapons, and the complaining
witness Jack Dowd. This is the first OF the
ranch.jumping cases, Of which there are
several, reported last week when the trouble
occurred at the ranch claimed by Dowd on
the Little Blackta alb. The ranch had been
rented to ]. L. switzler who, on the 4th in.
slant, gave up his tenancy, when Dowd
rented it to Joe. Swazee. SwaEes was re-
fused possession when he went to take it
by q man named William Kennedy who
announced that be had jumped it and in
tended to retain possession.
At the trial yesterday Dowd and Will
lam Delaney testified they had gone out
there when DoWd was met, before he crossed
the fence, by Kennedy With large knife in
his hand and cautioned by him not to en-.
ter on the premises. Charles Dawson, a
hired man OF Switzler's who was there
came out of the house with a gun and re-
manned in q threatening attitude near.
Kennedy and Dawson on the stand swore
that the first was only using a small pen.
knife whiting a piece OF wood at the time.
Kennedy admitted that he had jumped the
ranch, and that when Dowd came MP he
told him not to come over the fence. Daw-
SON proved himself a passive, disintsreeted
spectator.
The prosecution was conducted by J. j.
McHatton and the defence by L. j. Hamil-
ton. The Judge fined Kennedy SIS and
costs and dismissed the charge against
Dawson.

A JUST CRITICISM.

Mrs. Harrison, the wife Of the Presi.

The Port Jervis "Dnion," albeit an in.

moralizing on the subject. the "Union"
declares that this Is a blow to the women
who have been trying for five years to
train mothers to give their daughters

Of trust. or business document. It has
been the burden of boarding-school lee

All this culture Mrs. Harrison has de-
fed by q stroke Of the pen. The hundred
odd babies who are named after the wife
Of the President each administration

son had used a little forethought there
might have been q hundred "Carolines."
