Riotons French Miners.

PARIS, Nov. 1s.-A dispatch received
here from Lens, the headquarters of the
10000 striking coal miners of the Pas,
De-Calais, announced that there has
been a serious riot at LEVIN, town in
the coal mine district fourteen miles
southeast of Bethune. LEVIN has a
population of about 5000 people
nearly all of whom are said to be more
or less in sympathy with the strikers
The latter paraded the streets of LEVIN
to the number of about 1000, singing
and shouting, uttering patriotic cries
and jeering at the mention of the name
of those obnoxious to them among the
colliery officials,

HOW Russian photographers Get Even,
The Russian photographers have a
strange and original way of Furnishing
those whom they have photographed, and
yet who have failed to pay the bill for their
work. Outside of each photographing es-
tablishment there is frame hung in a
most conspicuous place. Into this frame
are put the pictures of all the delinQuents
who owe and cannot or will not pay. In
stead of putting the pictures in right side
up in the usual digni6ed manner, they are
inserted upside down.
One sees in these frames pictures OF
blooming children, pretty maids and diGni-
fled matrons, who are punished in this
way, although they may have no share in
the actual delinquency. The children, of
course, have no option as to whether their
pictures should be taken or not The
maidens were sent to be photographed by
devoted but careless fathers, and the
matrons by husbands who refused 20
shoulder the responsibility of paying for
tacsimilies of their fair better halves. -

The italian Government Has Dropped 1t.

ROME, Nov. 1S.-In view Of the state
ments which have been circulated
relative to the alleged settlement of the
difficulty between Italy and the United
States in the New Orleans lynchings,
the foreign Office has felt it necessary TO
issue an official and authorized declara-
ton. This has been made public
through Deputy Ferraris, and is to the
effect that since the departure of Baron
Fava from Washington there has been
no communication and no exchange of
views with the United States govern
ment in relation to the New Orleans af-
fair and that Minister Porter does not
carry to America any proposals relative
to a settlement. The Italian govern,
ment has dropped the subject with the
hope that time would bring about sat
isfactory solution.

The benefit concert to the Choral Society,
which took place at the Academy of Music last
night. was not benefit in q pecuniary sense,
for the audience was by no means what it
should have been. 1t made up in enthusiasm
what it lacked in numbers, and if the applause
could have been reckoned in dollars and cents
the deficit in the treasury Of the society caused
by its endeavor to promote and elevate the
musical taste Of Washington would be wiped
out. The program included two selections by
the Georgetown Amateur Orchestra-Meyer-
beers March, from "The Prophet" and Men
delssohn's Overture, 'SOn and Strangers" two
numbers by the Schubert Quartet violin solo
by Mr.. Anton kaspar-De Beriot's Scene de
Ballet; Mornings Il Softly Dream by the
Ladies' Philharmonic Quartet; 1.-The Prize
Song" by Karl Haeser, by the Washington
Sanserbund. and three numbers by the Choral
Society-Gounod's Chorus of Bacchsntes, ~
Foote 8 Into the Silent Land Cadies' chorus)
and the grand chorus, Thanks be to God, -
from Memberships oratorio of elijah" In
the last number the accompaniment was fur
nished by the Georgetown Orchestra Each
number satisfactorily given and nearly
every one had to be repeated. The society was
under the conduct OF Mr.. Szemelenyl, who was
worthy substitute for Prof. Sherman and
handled his force with skill and discretion.
The SBngerbund were obedient to the will of
Mr.. Vim. Waldecker, and their singing indi-
Gated that they will stand high in the coming
sangerfest at Newark, when they will contest
for the prize. They have improved greatly
under Mr. Waldeckers training. The orchestra,
under Prof. Josef Kaspar, acquitted itself we'll,
and Mr.. Anton Kaspar's solo was an excellent
piece of work. Misses Mead. Law, Shepherd
and Stidham, who compose the Philharmonic
Quartet sang with great taste and expression
and fully merited the double encore they re-
ceived. Messrs. Mesher, Bird, Kaiser and
Hoover, the Schubert Quartet. proved their
popularity by the applause that they received.
1t was gratifying to see SO many distinct
musical organizatio all belonging to this city,
combined in one program, for it indicated that
while each is pursuing its individual
course there is a unity of interest in the devel-
opment Of the art to which they are all de-
voted.
