Talent in New York.

New YORK, Dec. 9.-No event In
musical circles of the metropolis has
created so deep an interest since the
coming and the conquest of Paderews-
XII, as the appearance tonight of
Europe's great violInist, Johannes
Wolff, and her still greater violincel-
list, Joseph Hellmsnn. Every seat
for the initial performance at Chick
ering hall has been sold and their
triumph here promises to be COM
plete. Wolff comes from the Hague
ana got his first real violin lessons
from Wieniawski. At fourteen years
of age he had learned all the Dutch
musicians could teach him and went
first to Dresden and then to Paris,
where In 1882 ne began his profess
siOnal career in earn est, making his
debut at one of the Fasdeloup con-
certs. During the last ten years he
has played cons family in public, win~
ming fame chiefly by the solid mu.
sicianly character of his work. He
is said to be brilliant player,
but relies more upon broad
style and fine tone than mere tech
nical finish. Herr. Wolff uses an in
strument that he values very highly,
but OF unknown make. He was ill.,
viUed one evening at the house of the
Duke de Camposollce, in Paris, to
play, and having no instrument, was
aaked to choose one from the Dukes
fine collection. When he had finished
playing he was asked to accept tina
violin as souvenir OF Intervening. 1t
has the CrOmona varnisa, but no
name.
Joseph Hellmsn comes from Macs
tricht, in Holland. and is a pupil of
the famous Servais, under whom he
studied in Brussels for several years.
Like Herr Wolff, he has played In
public constantly for ten years and
has medals and decorations Dy the
score. He is q composer as well as q
having written two cello
and O number of minor
pieces.

A Pointer from John stahl.

In Mr.. Stahls neighborhood, as else
where north of Mason and Di1on's line,
the large majority of farm laborers are
hired by the month for five or six
months, from March to April !. Now,
if the contract reads for the same
amount each month, some of them will
draw their pay close up to the begin
ming of the harvest, and then refuse to
work longer unless paid harvest wages.
Their employer is helpless, as they are
not financially responsible. Mr.. Stahl
tells in the Philadelphia Farm Journal
that he avoids this by stating in the con-
tract that the wages for each month
are to be SO understanding to the
character Of the work for, that month.
Thus, if the laborer is hired for five
months for 800, the term beginning
April 1, the contract specifies that for
April he is to receive SIS, for May SIS,
for June $25, for July $50, and for Au-
gust SIS. Then the hand can draw only
$50 until June l, and he is not disposed
to quit at that time.

THE PoRTLANDs BEATEN
In an Uninteresting Game Marked by Poor
Playing.

BRocKToN, Mass. August 4.-The
Brocktons and Portlands played te-
dious and uninteresting game here today
full of poor plays and bad umpiring
The Brocktons had big lead on the VS.
itois until the fifth inning, when Doe
was touched up for a single, two doubles
and home run. Then Lincoln was sub
stituted and he held the leader down to
five hits. Morse started in to pitch for
Portland, but he had no control of the
ball and Cary was substituted, with lit
tie improvement. Umpire Mulcahy
gave one or two close decisions, which
were disputed, and he left the field but
was induced to return and finish the
game, Only eight inning were played on
account of darkness. Attendance 800.

BoSToN's HOPE.
1t May Be the Terminus of New Line of
Canadian Steamers.

Boston, August A Montreal des-
patch to the Journal says:
If the Dominion Government will not
come down with substantial subsidy,
there is every likelihood that Boston will
be made the terminus for the new Cana
dian steamship line. Messrs. j. and q.
Vyrend, big wholesale fruit dealers here,
have just inaugurated line OF fruit
steamers between Jamaica and Montreal.
One boat is already on the route and has
made two trips, while another steamship
is now building on the Clyde, Good out
ward cargoes have been obtained here
and at Halifax. On account of the
length of the voyage, however, fruit is
liable to arrive in a damaged condition,
and as an offset to this the promoters of
the line want a subsidy, which they say
would only be in keeping with the Gov
eminent policy of protection, If a sub
sidy is not granted the terminus of the
line will be removed to Boston and fruit
brought into Canada by rail.
