A SONG RECITAL.
An Array of Vocal Talent That
Does St. Paul Credit.


The fourth song recital for this sea-
son was given by the pupils of Mrs.
Nettie ller-Snyder, assisted by Miss
Edna ZenZuiS, at Mrs. Snyder'S home
on East Eleventh street last evening.
The pupils who took part in this re-
cital, which is the last one that will be
given before Mrs. Snyder's departure
for Italy, were all over twenty years OF
age, and the work done by them is
equal to the best that has been achieved
by any class of vOcaliStS in this city.
Mrs. Snyder is not only the pOSseSSOr
of a good method Individually, but she
has the rare talent of imparting good
methods to others.
Miss Edna ZenZius, who will carry on
| Mrs. Snyder's work for her pupils in
| the absence of the latter, is herself q
| brilliant musician. Her playing of
LISTS paraphraSe on Lucia oil Lam
mermoor," was absolutely tlawlesS. She
has much expression and deep sym
pathy with her composer. Ray Young
man, whose talent is no longer doubted.
and whose industry knows no tagging,
sang Sullivan's "Dear Heart" in a
strong. clear tenor that has improved
wonderfully within the last year.
Tostrs "Serenade' was admirably
sung by Miss Emily Frank
lin. Louise Sprague gave The
Silent World is Sleeping" by Buck,
with all unusual amount of expression.
The other numbers worthy of especial
mention we're: Adams, They all Love
jack" by Leavitt Corning; Cowen.
! The Mission of a Rose" by Nine.
Farine; LANCE. ''Silent Night" duo by
Miss Morrow and Mr.. Hatch.
After the recital the pupils were
allowed to dance, and i'll this amuSe-
ment they were assisted by their invited
guests. Mrs. Snyder will leave for Italy
during the coming week, to remain a
year, giving her time almost wholly to
the further development of her art.

William Ii. Baker alleges that the st.
Peter Street Improvement company
ought to pay him $3.50 for losses IN
business owing to its mIsreDresenta-
tions. Baker asserts that he was doing
a profitable restaurant business at Mid
dleton. Conn. The defendant induced
him to come to st. Paul and take charge
of the Colonnade, representing that it
was doing a big business and at big
rates. He asserts that there were at
times not more than ten tenants IN the
building, and there never were as many
as represented; that the building was
not put in repair as represented; that
the tenants were allowed to cook meals
in their apartments; that the rates OF
board at the cafe could not be main

The Northern Pacific Forger
Will Be Sentenced
Today.
Judge Kerr May Give Him
the Limit Fixed by
Law.
Mr.. McCafferty Incidentally
Pays His Respects to the
Police.
They Are Too Prone to De-
tain the Property Of
Prisoners.

Copeland j. Spapp will be sentenced
to the penitentiary this morning by
Judge Kerr. Those familiar with the
facts and the fearless manner of the
judge Will not be surprised if the man
gets sentence of fifteen years. Snapp
appeared yesterday with T. L. Fauntle-
roy, his attorney, and pleaded guilty to
two of the five indictments pending
against him. One of these was for the
larceny of a check for S45, drawn by j.
b. Bradshaw in favor of the Northern
Pacific company; the other was for
raising check of the company from
81 to $40. and which was payable
to j. CD. Bradshaw. The remain
ing indictments are two for larceny
of small sums and one for raising
check for small amount. 1t is asserted
that the embellishments of Snapp cover
a great many sums and amount to over
1900. The county attorney announced
that he would not demand trials on the
remaining three indictments at the
present time. Snapp was very nervous
when he was arraigned yesterday. He
leaned on the desk in front of the clerk
while the indictments were being read
to him. When asked if he had been in
dicted by his true name he nodded all
assent. and when Clerk Breidert asked
for his plea he replied guilty in a
low,
Faltering Voice.
Judge Kerr said he would not impose
sentence until this morning, when a
motion had been made by the county
attorney for sentence. The court init
mated that he wanted to look over the
law and to examine the other three in
dictments before passing sentence. He
continued:
''My views upon such crime are
such as to call out the SevereSt punish
ment prescribed by law, and unless it
can be shown that such punishment
should not be inflicted, | will certainly
carry out my present views"
/ Snapp trembled again. His attorney,
T.. l.. Fauntleroy. arose to address the
court.
The Judge proceeded: "The court
will listen to the remarks OF the attOr-
ney, but it is of the opinion that more
proper time for them would be just
prior to the sentence tomorrow morn
ing"
Mr. FauntlerOy interjected: II merely
ask the court to be as lenient as possible
in imposing sentence. The defendant
has family that is dependent upon
him for support. He has saved the
county the expense of trial by pleading
guilty, and these facts should certainly
bring forth leniency from your honor.
That is all we can expect, and all that
we will ask for tomorrow morning"
Snapp was then taken back to the
county jail.
County Attorney O'Brien says that
the maximum penalty for the two of
lenses of which Snapp pleaded guilty is
| fifteen years. ---.-..--.- ..------------.--

]. j. McCafferty appeared before
Judge Kerr yesterday morning and
asked for an order requiring the person
who has the personal effects of r. II.
W. Dwight to turn them over into the
hands of the court. Judge McCafferty
is attorney for Dwight in the forgery
cases, and wants to get the money taken
from his client. He said he did not
! know who has the money, but 1t is
either in the hands of Chief Clark or
Anderson, who is cashier of the st.
| Paul National bank. County Attorney
| O'Brien said he had turned the effects
| over to the chief of police.
YES" said Judge McCatferty, "this
| thing of giving property that belongs to
prisoners to the police is being done
right along. and then it is goodbye, L
| would like to have the court issue All
order compelling these men to turn over
| to MIR. Dwight his property"
Judge Kerr said that he did not see
his way clear to make the order, and IN
timated that Judge McCafferty might
try his hand at replevin suit, as 1t
seemed to him the proper proceeding
would be along that line.
Judge McCafferty took this piece of
information in stOical way and the
matter ended there.

THE HARD FIGHT
Made by Miss Potter Before Reach
ing the Ladder of Fame.


ing the Ladder of Fame.
Theater-goers of Minneapolis will re-
member seeing few years ago the an
nouncement that Miss Jennie ONeil
Potter, an amateur elOcutlonist and
reader, would make her professional
debut at the then Peoples theater (n0w
BIjou). People said, who is Jennie
O'Neil Potter? Where diu she come
from? They learned that she was a
plucky little woman who had, through
adverse circumstances, been thrown
upon the world to earn her Own living.
She had then but just passed twenty
years of age. 1t was hard fight
She went about everywhere, at
times starvation almost stared
her in the face, but having been trained
in early life to reap the rewards of in
dustry and enterprise only by patient
and continuous toll she kept Oh. She
did not mistake her function when she
assumed the position of dramatic reader
and elocutionistS. Her debut at the
old Peoples theatre was one of the
most successful ever recorded in the
history of that playhouse. FrOmIthat
moment Jennie O'Neil Potter was pro
nounced woman of genius, singular
and original genus. There is no dra-
matte reader like her and no reader who
can do exactly what she can. Her
power is deep and strong. Miss Potter
will be seen at the Metropolitan tOmOr-
row evening.
