Interesting Extracts From a
Letter as to the Doines OF
these Talented Girls.
By the last mail Mr.. Wray Taylor
received a letter from Mrs. Joran,
mother of the talented artists Lulu,
Pauline and Elise Joran, dated Ber-
lin, Germany, December 26th, 1890
The many friends of the young
ladies in this city will no doubt read
with much interest the following
extracts from the letter:
We are much delighted to receive
Honolulu papers, to read the news OF
the islands, and really become quite
homesick hearing of all the familiar
names and places; for I may as well
say in the first place that of all the
beautiful spots we have visited since
leaving them,none can compare with
that charming little paradise. Our
friends the Pfugers let us have
papers. Mr.. Phuger entertained us
yesterday at Christmas dinner.
Since writing you last, we have been
on a great tramp, an extensive tour
through Mexico, Yucatan and Cuba,
then to New York. From thence
here, some six months ago. The
whole tour was very successful, the
girls reaping laurels everywhere;
Pauline with her violin especially
creating a furore. In New York it
was our privilege to meet and be-
come very well acquainted with that
great pianist Eugen D'Albert. He
heard all the girls play, and ex.
pressed himself in a letter to q
mutual friend as surprised at
their talent, which he found the
best he had heard in America" He
urged our coming to Europe, and
offered to take entire charge of the
musical education of Elise and to
assist the others by introductions.
etc. He has kept his word, and
Elise has been for some time study
ing with him. When I tell you that
he only has two pupils, sister OF
the C0loDraUeu CaTl 16yLQdu Oh
Frankfort, his friend and fellow
student, and Elise Joran, and that
he persistently refuses all applica-
tions from people of all countries,
you will appreciate the full value OF
the distinction and honor as we do
D'Albert was much pleased with
Elise's technique, which he says is
scarcely to be improved; also her
Bach playing is quite specially
with her, he says, and has given her
the forty-eight preludes and fugues
to study in succession, as well as
Beethoven, Chopin and some of the
most difficult compositions of Liszt.
He predicts that in two years she
will make European reputation.
[ feel little personal pride in this
also, as Elise never had lesson in
her life from anyone but myself I'M
til she took her first with D'Albert,
who is the most celebrated, and
really the greatest artist in Europe.
Few would imagine what wonder

full teacher he is; not only does he
exact the greatest precision and OBJ
servance of the composers inten
tons, but he is very lavish with his
own playing, thus giving his priv
legged nearer the benefit of his great
interpretations. 1t is to be hoped
that some day he will give the world
of students the benefit of his in
struction, at present, however, it
would interfere with his greater
work of composing and playing. He
has a nature the gentlest and a
heart the kindest in the world.
Pauline is very happy in the
choice of teachers made for her;
she is studying the violin with
Emile Sauret with whom she is
making wonderful progress. These
great artists are so encouraging,
having accomplished so much so
easily themselves, they do not make
the mountains impossible for others
The first time he heard Pauline
play he said, "my child, you have
q great career before you, at once
you must prepare for it," So he sci
her at work upon the great compost
tions for the violin and believes that
she will soon be ready to play both
here and London, where he is short
ly to go as director of the Roya
Academy.
Lulu is making composition hel
specially and will soon begin thu
organ. D'Albert considered he
piano playing quite settled in style
and only to be improved by hearing
a great deal and adopting thos'
methods which most pleased her
We are indeed priviled in hearing

started out in a body, and called
upon the Chief Justice, the different
consulates, and other officers and
residents of note.

On December 30th Tamasese paid
his first visit to Apia since the war
He was accompanied by seventy or
eighty followers. His object in max
ing the visit was to consult DIR.
Funk in regard to his physical con-
dition, having been ailing for some
time. The King was asked to give
the key Of the government house at
Mulinuu to accommodate Tamasese.
This he refused to do, stating there
were plenty native houses in the
locality capable of accommodating
Tamasese if he intended remaining.
On the same night Representatives
of the three powers held a consulta-
ton and agreed that it would be
unwise for Tamasese and his large
following to remain in Apia, and it
is thought they requested him to go.
Tamasese went the same evening on
his way to Savaii.
Chief Justice Cederkrantz arrived
at Samoa December 3Oth. Much

Change of the New Zealand

Change of the New Zealand
Ministry-Samo1.
By the S. S. Alameda dates from
Auckland to the 26th of January
have been received:
A change has taken place in the
New Zealand government. The At

pectedly defeated in the organization
of the newly-elected legislature. by
vote of 36 opposition to 20, they
resigned on the Oath, and on the
Goth the following new ministry was
announced:
MIR. Balance, Premier and Leader
in the House.
MIR. Buckley, Attorney General.
John Mckenzie, Agriculture and
Lands.
Mr.. Seldom, Mines and Public
Works.
w. P. Reeves, Education and JUS
tice.
Mr.. Ward, no portfolio.
The new premier has had fourteen
years experience in public life, and
has held portfolios in three or four
ministries. The other members are
new men. According to the local
papers the new government differs
very little in politics from the pre-
ceding, and the party seems to have
come into power simply because the
people desired change. The Atkin-
son administration retired leaving q
balance of $4,000 in the colonial
treasury-the largest surplus de-
rived from domestic receipts that
any ministry has ever been able to
hand over to its successors in that
colony.

No more to earth the spirit wed.

Before his feet, all tiowerets fling;

At eve, in shrouds that noble form;
A chilling blast from northern zone,
That lamp of life, alas, outblown.

In deaths cold clasp
Forever bound.
Aye, such the world;
Both name and fame,
How son entombed,
In dust decay;

Proclaims the race of millions run;

THE OAK PARK WE'LL.
1t Gives Promise of an Abundant Sup

1t Gives Promise of an Abundant Sup
ply of Water.
Yesterday was begun the work of test
ing the capacity of the experimental we'll
at Oak Park, and thus far it has more than
met the anticipations of those citizens
who have interested themselves in the
matter of procuring, if possible, a suf-
ficient supply of pure water for the city.
A centrifugal pump was placed over the
well, its capacity being million gallons
per day. The well supplied sufficient
water to keep the pump running all day,
after first disposing of several tons of
sand.
The committee managing the expert
ment believe that the we'll will be sue
cess, but will keep the pump running for
week or more in order TO thoroughly
demonstrate its capacity.
In the summer months the city uses
some 100000 gallons weekly, and if the
well now being tested should yield ,000,
600 gallons a day it would require but five
more OF equal capacity TO come up to the
present summer demand, or four wells
to equal the present winter demand.
The desire is, however, to not only i'm
prove on the quality of water used for
domestic purposes, but to increase the
supply; hence the number of wells can
be increased as necessity demands, as the
gravel section from which the supply is
TO be drawn is believed to be capable of
yielding an inexbaustible supply.
The result of the present experiment
will, therefore, be looked for with deep
interest by all who have the city's well
fare at heart.

tensive Haul.
Several weeks ago q Constable from
Reno, New, arrived in this city in search
of the burglars who broke into several
houses in that town.
Among the houses robbed was one
occupied by Mrs. Smith, sister-in-law of
Constable Brissel of this city. Mr. Bris-
sci naturally took an interest in the case,
and after the burglars were landed in
Jail by the police the Constable exerted
himself to recover the stolen property.
For a week he has been making the
rounds of the secondhand stores, but
did not meet with success until yester-
day, when he made quite haul. He re-
covered several dresses, a jacket, and a
silver butter-dish belonging to his sister
in-law. Beside these articles there were
two table covers and boys jacket, the
owner of which is not known.
The articles were stolen in Reno by q
colored boy named WhiJe-who has been
held to answer for robbing Pedlar's place
of business, at Eighth and X streets, in
this city-and a white man named Sum
merfield, who was arrested at Reno, and
has been sentenced to four years impris-

The Affinity Between tho Fishing and
Romancing Habits.
If there is anything in the world that
will lead a man to depart from the mar
row path of veracity it is fishing, re-
marks the Woodland Mail. There are a
number of disciples of Isaac Walton here
N Woodland, not one of whom short
time ago would have had his word
doubted on almost any declaration he
might make. But since they have taken
10 spending their Sundays on the shady
banks of the treacherous Sacramento, it
IS hard matter to believe them even
when one knows they are speaking the
truth.
Yesterday one man who had been down
on fishing tour said he had only caught
two fish this was evidently a true state
Inent, and the crowd looked astounded
one to another, but just as one member
was about TO propose to present him with
q leather medal for being the only truth
ful angler in town, he spoiled it all by
declaring that the fish must have weighed
no less than twenty pounds each, and
added that before he left the river he
bagged ducks and geese until he had to
hire an extra wagon to bring them home.
