GROWING IN THE SOUTH.
Interview with John Devlin Concerning
the Knights of Labor.

| Interview with John DeVlin Concerning
the Knights of Labor.
CINCINNATI, Feb 20-John Devlin,
member of the general executive board
of the Knights of Labor, stopped in the
city Wednesday ON his way from the
south to his Detroit home.
In speaking of the condition of the
Knights of Labor in the south, Mr.
| Devlin said:
The knights are growing down there,
especially among the colored people, and
in the states of Alabama and Florida.
But the officials treat them in very
strange way,
For instance, in Fernandina, Fla,
| they recently arrested the master work
man of the local assembly under We. y
peculiar circumstances. The assembly
there is made up of colored men, labor
ers at loading and unloading vessels,
and the master workman makes con-
tracts for them with the shipowners, so
securing good rates for them. There
was dispute about prices one day, and
while the captain Of the vessel to be un-
loaded and the master workman were
talking over the matter, the latter hap
pened to repeat an oath that the captain
Lad used earlier in the discussion. AT
once policeman stepped up and arrest
ed him for swearing in the public
streets. When he made some objection
the policeman called for help and the
man was finally arrested and charged
with resisting an officer. He was fined
for the oifense in the local court and
later the circuit court again"
do you suppose that was done on
account Of his being knight or was he
treated that way because he was me-
gro;'
"A little Of both | suppose. They
seem to want to stamp out organizations
among the men there. At Dayton, Fla,
they have thirteen of our people in pris-
On now charged with setting a house
atite. They Just arrested every colored
man they found on the streets, and
would give them no satisfaction. They
took it for granted man was guilty
until he p.oved himself innocent. |
think there were some twenty-eight peo-
pie arrested at the time. If that num-
Der Of white people had been arrested
without any explanation the whole
town would have been up in arms, but
being negroes nothing was thought of
it"
'What are they going to do at the
great industrial convention to be held in
Washington in July?'
We'll, they will adopt declaration
containing principles that all the indus
trial organizations can agree upon.
Everybody knows the principles that the
Farmers Alliance and other industrial
organizations have adopted. The de-
claration that the Washington conven-
ton will adopt viii be along the same
line, -
"Wil it result in the formation or "a
new party
That is not the purpose now, but if
neither of the old parties seem willing to
consider our principles a third party
may Q the outcome, But it is not con-
templated now.

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK.
A SALT STORM.
A Peculiar Phenomenon at Salt Lake
Thnnght Il NVt.s Snow.

Thought It Was Snow.
SALT LAKE, Feb, 20, - Showers of
snakes, fish and frogs have grown to be
common affairs, but this region was
treated to decided novelty Tues
day night, in the shape of salt shower,
and local scientists are busy in trying
to solve the mystery surrounding the
peculiar phenomenon.
Toward evening a stiff breeze began
blowing from the no Invest, and was
soon followed by what appeared to be
nothing more than an ordinary snow
storm, but with the dawn of light the
discovery was made that the snow had
in reality been largely composed of
genuine salt, to which was added a
small proportion of alkaline matter.
The ground was covered, and windows,
roofs and sides of buildings Were heav-
lily coated with the peculiar substance.
People who had been out in the storm
found their hats and clothing stained
and discolored wherever they had been
touched by the falling particles, which
were sufficiently damp to adhere with
tenacity. Various theories have been
advanced in explanation of the strange
occurrence Many think it was caused
by something in the nature of water
spout, which carried the spray from the
Great Salt lake and deposited it in con-
gealel form in the ath of the storm.
Samples of the salt which fell here will
be sent cast to be analyzed, and if the
analysis should be identical with the
wa er of Great Salt lake this theory will
doubtless be accepted as correct,

ARTHUR FRIEDHE1M.
The Lisztian virtuoso.

NfW } OH ItibHuc cyNicisW.
Herr Friedheim is a brilliant virtuoso
rather than a great interpreter From a
technical point Of view merely one would
have to be hypercritical to find fault with
such splendid work as he put to his credit
in these compositions. The sureness
agility and strength of finger which he
displayed were stupcndous and the absence
Of all evidences of physical excrtion was
a feature in which it must be said that
Herr Friedheim's equal has not been seen
here, at least not within the memory of
those whose experience is bounded by the
last twenty years, If there had gone
with this those other elements of rcpose-
fulness which rest In perfect exposition
of the spiritual contents of the compost
tion there could have been no disappoint-
ment i'm his playing.
But for this the tone produced, though
magnihCently souorotls, was too cold and
unsympathetic, the evidences of intel
lcctual dissection, of striving for archi-
tcCtual symmetry, were too Obvious the
absence of cantabile style was too
marked, the phrasing was too mechanical.
Frequently he would bewilder with a
magnificent rush, and. in music like his
own transcription of the overture to
"Tannhacuser, he would compel wonder
that such n compleNity of tones could be
produced by only ten fingers. At such
times he was in the element which is the
real province of his unique talents-he
was a lisztian yirtuoso. To appreciate
what wonders can be performed upon the
pianolorte when scintillant sounds, har-
monious thunderings and tonal corGusCa-
tions are the aim at once of the composer
and performer one must hear Friedheim.
