When scharwenka Was a Bow.

An incident in the early life Of Scharwenka IL
given by a Washington lady, formerly a resi-
dent of Berlin Scharwenka was at the cele-
brated Kullak Conservatory and was announced
TO perform a new and difficult work at concert
given by that institution At that time
his purse ran so low that he was unable to pay
the rent falling due on his piano. and the
dealer took il away and Scharwenk could not
practice. In his despair he thought of many
ways to escape from failure at the concert, and
had concluded to feign illness, but when his
number was due on the program the boy went
on and played Chopins Scherzo in B fiat with
such nerve and such a spirit of despera-
ton that the performance created q furore.
The reason for the change in the number
was whispered among the audience and prom
inent manufacturer who was present was so
pleased with the bow that he asked him to call
at his ware rooms the next day and select any
piano in his stock. This WAS Scharwenka's first
piano and in gratitude he has used the same
make Of pianos in all his European concerts.''

Capt Lusk says that by the terms Of the pen
init granted this company on March 8, 1891. all
future conduits are confined to the carriage
ways, but he believes it would be better 10
allow the portion in question to be built in the

pavement. There are no houses along the por-
ton Of 18th street in question. Tho request has
been allowed.

MT. Blaine's Letter.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Italy, under well settled rules of international
law, may rishtfully claim of us two things:
1. That the lynchers of three or four OF her
subjects in New Orleans be brought to Justice.
2. That a proper indemnity be paid to the
families Of the slain.
This latter claim, according to Mr.. Blaine 8
admirably-written letter to the MARQUIS Impe-
rial, our government 10 willing TO take into
consideration.
As to bringing the lynchers to Justice. this
we cannot do, because, under the federal Com
stitution. they cannot be prosecuted In the ma
tional courts, and can be tried and punished
only by the courts of Louisiana
Obviously, Italy has nothing to do with the
peculiarities Of our national Constitution. and
is entitled to look for redress to the nation as
represented by the federal government. But
there is nothing in the federal Consultation to
prevent the national government from using
all the influence it may be able to bring to bear
on the authorities Of Louisiana in order TO have
the offenders brought to justice in her courts
And II could constitutionally 60 a step further
IN instructing the United States attorney of the
district to assist the state authorities in the
prosecutions, and IL Mr.. Blaine had added an
assurance that this would be done it would have
placed u In stronger position in the contro-
versy. ELL

BARON FAvA's HOUSE
visitors Are Not Treated to . View Of the
Alleged Occupant.

Auegeu occupant.
So recently as Tuesday morning No. 729 18th
street had dignifed appearance, and although
its exterior was simply o replica Of several
other immediately adjoining exteriors, there
was something about it which said TO the
passer-by: This is the home Of the italian
legation" Today everything in 1t and around
it has a detected appearance, for its diplomatic
attributes have departed, and it Is simply
what real estate man would call "a threo-
story-and- basement-brick-h house. with fourteen
rooms and all modern improvements" and
unless the italian government undergoes .
speedy change of heart the present residence
Of Baron de Fava, envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary to the United States,
may be so advertised in THE STAR with the ad-
ditional statement that the structure 10 'for
rent"
THE OCCUPANT OF TIE oAs-PrPE FENCE.
Utterly careless Of consequences . young
Aro-Americsn sat on one portion Of the gas
pipe fence which incioses tho ex-ministerial
parking, and with a hammer pounded such
other portions as we're within easy reach. Car
riages came and went, callers were admitted to
see the baron. or were politely informed that
he wasn't in, hadn't been in, wasn't expected
in for several hours and mightn't come then.
but the colored boy and his aimless hammerinG
continued. The boy was probably waiting for
the baron to be in. and it is safe betting that
he Is waiting yet unless his determination gave
out II the servants who are employed by the
sx-nlinister to do duty at the late legation are
to be believed-aud their veracity has not yet
been publicly impugned-then the baron has
not been at home since Tuesday morning.
They are willing to admit that he was seen
shortly after breakfast on that day, but moth
ing less than an inverted crucifi Iion would
wiring from them any statement as to his re-
cent whereabouts.
To STAR reporter who called at No. 729 this
afternoon one of the attendants feebly inti-
mated that at some time during the past week
the baron had been somewhat indisposed-in
fact, had been very ill-but where he lived dur
ing this attack was not stated. 1t was enough
for the outside world to know that he was mot
in"
THREE SERVANTS TAKE TURNS
OF course it is a good deal Of a strain upon
these servants to tell 200 newspaper men seven
or eight times q day that the baron is not in,
but the work has been SO arranged as to tighten
the burden as much as possible. A colored girl
and two Italian men take turns In firing the un-
satisfactory statement at the newsgathersrs,
