VISIT TO RUBINSTEIN.
The Great Pianist Talks About
Coming to America.
AS cAPRIcloUs AS A CHILD.
A Public Artist for Fifty-Three Years
Musical Instinct the Heritage
OF the jews, He Says.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 21.-rSpecial
Correspondence. There is very little
doubt that Rubinstein, the great Russo
Jewish tone master, will visit America
very soon. perhaps in the spring He has
had an offer for en- American concert tour
which promises him great returns, and
while he is not poor man, he has spent
his enormous earnings and is practically
without fortune. The offer from the
United States is most flattering. 1t means
at least S100,00 and perhaps half as much
more. The matter is not quite settled.
The great pianist is as capricious as
child. Today he will go; tomorrow
he will not go; the next day he will
consider it, and the next day he
will decide to go. But his friends are
of the opinion that his visit is settled. He
breads, of course, the long journey to
America. for he is now upward of 90 years
of age, and he fears the fatigue of the
thousands of miles he would have to
travel over the United States. He has al
ways been great traveller, but at the
present the prospect of long journey
does not please him. Yet his vigor is IN
impaired. He is the picture of perfect
health. His friends insist that he plays
better today than ever before. They pre-
dict enormous success for him, and they
hope also that his visit may be instru-
mental in awakening more interest in
musical matters.
Rubinstein has been so long before the
public that many regard him as an old
man. and expect when they see him to
find visible and outward marks of age and
its infirmities. The contrary is true. His
figure is still stalwart. At first sight he
might be taken for an athlete or a soldier.
He walks with the firm tread of man
who is certain of his ground. His head
and face are strongly marked. and more

carefully, almost reverentially, away.
She then brought out another. 1t could
not equal the first, but still was very
beautiful. The shape was of striped old
green and white straw. 1t happened that
the white stripe came out on the edge, and
this was almost concealed under a very
full velvet edge of the old green. A full

The trimming on big hats is coming
around more to the front this season.
Small hats are great favorites. Were it not
that they are so gaudy one would scarcely
be able to see the new crowns for these
small hats, they are SO intinitesimal.
They're beautiful, though. Some are
finely wrought in gold and silver beads,
some studded in pearls, some made simply

flat ones with tiny crowns that one can
scarcely see; other Fat ones with crowns
that reach almost to the edge of the brim;
wide, dropping ones with genuine stove
pipe crowns; medium sized ones with
Tam O'Shanter crowns; big brims poke
shaped; big brims that turn back-all
sorts of shapes and sizes. The stopepipe
ones are, in my opinion, at least, the
ugliest of all, and it is earnestly to be
hoped that they will not become the rage.
But in spite Of their ugliness, greatly
fear that Dame Fashion has marked them
for her own.
Almost all of the shapes are made of
fancy straw. This fancy straw is sold
narrow by the yard, and if you are dis
posed to economic, and have a shape
from last year that is still good and not
much behind the times, it can be made
very presentable by edging it with this
tine fancy straw.
Streamers are becoming more and more
audacious. There is positively no limit to
their effrontery. They are longer if made
merely of ribbon; if of chiffon or crepe,
wider. One black hat that l saw had a
streamer of yellow crepon, very long, and
half a yard wide. It was edged on the
sides and bottom BY a wide. fine pleating
of the same material. A woman would
need considerable courage to promenade
in such headgear as that
Pins are very prominent i'll all hat trim
ming, and there is an endless variety of
them. Small gold ones hold together
almost all the high loops, and big ones
pierce the heart of such bow. Many of
these pins are set in tiny brilliants, and
some have large rhinestones cleaning out
of large knobs of oval-shaped beads. One
would scarcely think that women would
wear these pseudo-diamonds in such pro-
fusion, but their effects is so good it makes
the temptation to use them almost irresist-
ible.

| saw contained nearly all the colors of
the rainbow, and yet the shades were SO
softened and toned down that the effect
was very pretty.
Black hats are not very popular this
year, although they are quite effectively
trimmed altogether in pale yellow.
Guipure lace is brought into play very
often. 1t should be remembered that its
quality must be very fine to produce soft
results.
Here is a queer and original hat: Black
straw OF funny, prickly kind, that looks
as if there were bristles standing up all
over the hat. The straw is trimmed with
three yellow pompons made of narrow vel
vet love-knot ribbon. The rim is turned
up off the face at one side and one of the
pompons placed there; another is just at
the same spot, but inside the rim; the
third stands up at the back. They are
connected by fine black lace, which rises
and falls in graceful lines. The hat has no
streamers; the lace falls down a few
inches at the back, that is all.

In this is included only the service of
polite attendants, who wouldn't work a
day without tip. If your party does not
occupy every berth you can get special
mileage rates on all roads. East of
Chicago and st. Louis the roads will have
a special car for minimum of eighteen
full tirst-class fares and west of these
points for fifteen fares. So. if you travel
alone, you will pay in addition to your
regular charter rate fares for eighteen or
fifteen people.

Each year, within the United
States, there are convicted for var
ious offences against the public
peace about 100000 male prisoners
of mature age. These criminals are
commonly confined in the State
prisons and common jails, and dur
ing the term of their punishment
are largely sustained and clothed
at public expense. This expense
alone entails an enormous tax, of
which property in all localities
must share the burden, and a most
serions question has for many years
been discussed touching the man.

employed without competing with
the skilled labor of our free citizens.
No solution has yet been reached
which seems to meet the case.
Labor organizations have repeated
ly demanded that these convicts be
made to earn their own susteuance,
by the performance of public work
and notably that of constructing
and maintaining the public roads.
Such labor has beenutilized in 9TH
er countries to the great advantage
of the public, and it offers such an
apparent double advantage in the
reduction of the public tax and the
solution of he convict labor ques-
ton that it is well worthy of thor

ly convicted criminals there is an
immense vagrant population, COM
prised mostly of bodied men,
drifting about from one part of the
country to another, and commonly
called "tramps." They have large
ly increased in numbers during the
last few years, and have become
one of the social problems of the
day. 1t is not likely that if all the
