The HUNGARIAN VioIinist AGAIN.

Edouard Remenyi has returned to San
Francisco after short tour Of the interior
of the State, and Will give two concerts at
Odd Fellows Hall May % and % and at
the Baldwin Theater on Sunday evening"
May rs. This eminent yolinist is quite
as happy. if not happier. fiddlpg before
his friends in private as when he is play
ing before a public audience. The ap-
Dlause of auditors who have paid to hear
him he considers only an evidence OF a
desire TO obtain by encores their moneys
worth; but the appreciation OF his friends
reaches his heart ana has the genuine
ring Whenever Remenyi has an of week
he usually puts in a few evenings exhibit
ing his marvellous skill in a private way.
One evening, q short time ago, writes Il
gentleman who happened TO be present.
an elegant reception was given Remenyi
by Mr. and Mrs lsdf RosencrantZ at
their home, 2413 Washington street, in
his honor. MI. RosencraniZ and the great
yiolnist had last met in Sydney, \. 5. W,
some nine years ago, during one of the
virtuoso's grand tours, and it was then
that firm friendship sprang up between
them. When Remenyi returned to San
| Francisco from his country tour his old
time friend was among the first to give
him greeting.
The reception-rooms were filled to their
full capacity with the friends of the host,
nearly all of some artistic merit. and all
eager to meet the great violinist and hear
him play.
Mr.. RosencraDtz is a violinist OF no ord-
nary skill, and opened the evenings enter
talnment by neat rendering of a selection
from Mascagnrs "Cavalleria Rusticana,"
accompanied by Mrs. Rosenerantz. who is
a pianist of some distinction.
THIS lady then played, in compliment to
the guest. set of Hungarian dances.
Then RemeDyi got out his violin ana
handled it f0ndly as be would a child
preparatory 10 playing one OF his master
pieces.
Professor Sauvet had undertaken to play
the accompaniment, and no less pianist
could satisfy the eXacting vI0inist. as
one false note Oh the piano renders him
furious.
The old Hungarian sat down and softly
began Scbubert's Ave Maria" SO low
were the first sweet tones that they sounded
like the far away ripplinG OF a silver
stream. His listeners were entranced and
breathleSs. With every change in the
music the face and action of the player
likewise underwent changes. While draw
ing soft. sweet sounds from his beloved
fiddle Remenyi's cuun1enance was study
in blandness. In the stormy passages
he rose from his chair and paced impetu-
Ousiy about the room, every feature show
ing that the spirit OF the storm possessed
him.
A s a contrast to the ave Maria" Re-
menyi next played the Spanish Dances by
Sarasati, and, during the evening, Chopn's
"NoctuIne" in G minor, repeating Ave
Maria" as fiuale.
professor SauYIet gave polOnaise of his
composition, and received the delighted
praises Of his listeners.

The Worlds Fair Attendance.

TIE average daily attendance at the
Centennial was e., 1888; The largest attend
anee was 274,919, the smallest 1920. The
daily average at Paris was $780, the
largest single days admissions, 400. COO
While the circumstances and conditions
surrounding the Columbian Exposition
differ materially from those of either the
Centennial or Paris exhibition. the diver
gence is not great enough TO effect very
clear conclusion from the figures given
The unavoidable inference drawn from
every International fair is this The at
tendance is very largely drawn from the
population within a limited radius from
stance. the statistics OF the Paris exhibit
tion show that on days when the attend
ance averaged 100000. at least 10000 came
from Paris and its en- YiInnS.

Loie Fuller as a Moral Accent.

According to the New York Press Loie
Fuller has certainly achieved wonderful
work in Paris. A year ago the Folies
Bergeres was one of the most Infamous
dancehouses in the gay capital, place
whose performers exhausted the last de-
vices CT indecency. a place that no respect
able woman could visit. At present the
Folies is quite fashionable and entirely
proper. Loie Fuller has driven out the
loose women who frequented both its audi
torium and stage. and this once scandalous
hotbed OF yulgarity is now as respectable
as any In our own country. Commenting
on this change the Paris Herald says:
"As matter of fact. Miss Loie Fuller has
done Immense good, morally, since she
came to Paris. The music hall at which
she performs never was nor pretended TO
be place where a family could take
box. But now, witha programme III which
Miss Fuller is the leading figure, pater-
familias takes his wife and children, and
many an enjoyable afternoon is spent"
Reformation in public morality is not COM
monty accomplished by a skirt dancer.
But Loie Fuller has, says the Philadelphia
Music and Drama. 1t would seem, kicked
the wickedest place in Paris into decency.

DANGERS OF THE DEEP.
The Cost of Human Life to America
Greatest Fishing Port.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Oct. A.-The closing
Of the fishing season tells a melancholy
story of disaster, as well as success and
gain. During the year there have been
lost at sea from this port fifty-seven men,
leaving ten widows and three children.
Ten vessels, valued at about SOC, 900, found
cred or stranded. But two, the Genesta,
thrown down by a squall, and the old
type Pioneer, sank at sea. From 1880,
since record has been kept, through to
1898, there have been 5s6 vessels cast away
at sea, valued at g, 100000. The number
of lives lost was s,2sl. Including those
lost from this port on the sea prior to 1880
the list of the lost will amount to about
5000 persons. Such has been the price
paid for the supremacy which the town
enjoys as the greatest fishing port in
