In asking for an increase of the enlisted
force of the army General Schofeld says:
"a careful estimate made leads to the con-
clusion that, If the emergency had required
it, about 400 cavalry, 1856 infantry and 1851
artillery, mostly acting as infantry, might
have been added to the forces under General
Miles command; so that, if the h, 5tile In
dians near Pine Ridge had been SO nunler-
Gus as to require such action, it would have
been possible to concentrate force there
uniting in enlisted strength to SIS cav

letic association, was given last night in the

Ferdinand Peck, While Seeking Large
Game, Bags "A Boy.
On Saturday night Ferdinand Peck, a
South San Francisco blacksmith, became
somewhat intoxicated, and, being in that
particular mood which it is the joy of small
boys to irritate, several youngsters began to
tease the tipsy gentleman. But Peck lost,
together with the steadiness of his legs, his
patience, and becoming suddenly overcome
with passion ran franticly into his house and
soon returned with gun well loaded with
bird shot.
Undaunted the spirited boys continued
their amusement, when suddenly Peck ex-
hibited an enviable degree of skill, raised
his gun, shut his eyes and fired.
Bang went the gun, into the dust went
Peck, down went boy, while from the
group of youngsters there arose a howl Of
dsmay.
One of them had received a stray shot in
his forehead, and great was the consterna-
ton among his conireres.
But the guns report or the concussion
caused by Peck's sudden contact with the
earth seemed to attract the attention Of Off
Ger Buckley. who forthwith arrested Peck,
booking him for assault to murder at the
SevrnteeDt h-street Police Station.

The attendance yesterday at She'll Mound

sired for practice.
Captain Irving B. Cook of Company Z,
First Infantry Regiment, came over early
in.the afternoon, and with few warriors
held a monthly medal and practice shoot'
Some excellent scores were made IN TINS
contest. Captain Cook kept up his record
for close fours," and in the medal shoot
scored 43.
In this contest Corporal L. r. Townsend

shoot improved upon this record with

The Steinway Hall second afternoon con-
cert yesterday resulted in the most pro-
nounced success for SiGnor and Signora
Ursumando. The lady executed the Italian
concerto, in + sharp, by j. S. Bach, with
surprising facility, clearness, steadiness
and repose, rendering the classic strains
with that true character with which they
are written. She was enthusiastically en-
cored. Mr.. Ursumando concluded the
musicale" at the piano, with the Hermann
Brandt String Quartet, superb quintet by
GOldmark. He performed in a mastery
way, proving again that he is one of the
few privileged sons of Euterpe; his touch
Is telling. his technIc irIeproachable and
he plays with the verve of an artistic soul.
The G0ldmark quintet presents an amount
of difficulties which the common pianist
cannot overcome. The allegro vivace is
rather too long, the adagio is taking, al
though with too much evidence of the style
of Schunann. The scheTZo is more original
and the last tempo, allegro vivace, contrary
to the almost general rule. may be styled
the best.
We cannot praise. rs we would like to do,
the work of the Hermann Brandt String
Quartet which, besides taking part in the
Goldmark quintet. played the quartet by
Rubinstein, OPP II, No. /. with none of
those qualities which are absolutely neces-
sary to form the ensemble of good string
quartet" Its int0naton Is indeed too often
doubtful. excepting the cello, and the va
riety of the coloring is lost by au inexplic-
able frenzy to play everything loud, very
loud, too loud. II Is true, though, that this
work of Rubinstpin does not present Il too
great amount of beauties, and it cannot be
classed among his best productions; but We
have no doubt that better disciplined
quartet could bring out some of its hidden
charms.

1t Was Sad Scene, But One of Many at

A little, old woman appeared at the Jefer-
son Market Police Court the other day to
testify against her son. Her face was pale,
and tie soft gray hair was combed beneath
shabby little crepe bonnet. from which
hung a long and more shabby crepe veil.
The wrinkles in her face were many, but
they were soft lines. and her mouth was
sensitive and switched nervously at the
corners.
The defendant was large man. of IS or
thereabouts. He was hard-looking and
showed effects Of long years Of dissipation.
Whisky had fashioned the curves of bis
mouth until it betrayed the refinement of
cruelty.
The Judge asked the plaintiff what she
had to say. She was nnprepared, aud her
tongue Glove to the roof of her mouth She
could have recited countless times Of when
the man OF 40 had come home to her intoxi-
Gated of when he had pursued her with a
razor and threatened her life. The cause of
his being that morning in court had been
that she lad sought refuge in the arms Of a
policeman because the inhuman brute was
brandishing revolver about her head The
policeman had then arrested him, and the
neighbors besought her to appear against
him. She could have shown the court
bruises on her head and upon her body, the
result OF his cruelty.
But she thought of none of these as she
stood before the judicial bench. She thought
of the little golden-haired child that had
lisped his baby words at her knee. and OF the
hayward boy who needed mothers pro-
lection and influence and love.
She had come to testify and she must say

bent shoulders seemed to grow even smaller

There are strong indicat tons that tea and

chocolate habit. Cocoa and chocolate
drinkers are multiplying rapidly. At least
that Is the opinion of prominent Philadel-

chocolate has never been so marked as at
the present time. 1t is estimated by one
manufacturing corporation that the increase
in both the importation and consumption of
chocolate Is at the rate of more than 10 per
