The Wonderful Polish Pianist Begin,
Another Triumphant Tour.
NEW YORK. Jan. 3.--Ths return of the
famous young Polish pianist il an event
that will not be paralleled in musical In,
terest this season. Ignace j. Paderswski
comes back to us flushed with the un.
exampled furor of his London engage
ment; somewhat more slender in person
and spirituel In appearance after n long
and severe malady on the continent.
During the concert yesterday afternoon
ne gave mental evidence of neither his
honors nor his illness. His manner is rs
simple and unaffected as before. and his
marvellous control OF the keys showed no
dlminution OF fire, no debilitating infiu-
ence OF fatigue.
Carnegie Hall was thronged to the roof.
The adjacent, streets were filled with
handsome rquipages. The boxes, gall
ieries and parquet were crowded TO suffo-
cation with an audience that was remInis
cent of the fashionable opera nights last
winter. Six thousand dollars was taken
In at the box Office, which is a greater
amount than the Metropolitan often re-
ceived for performance by the Italian
opera company.
III there were any serious fears that the
pianlst's illness had interfered with his
wonderful powers these misgivings were
entirely dispelled. Pad erewski is still
the greatest Of modern musicians. His
touch is as clear, his delicacy of shading
as finely modulated, his expression as
eloquent as it was last season. Under
MS magical fingurs the piano sang with
melody, revibrated with the thunder of
passion, sighed with the perfection of
tenderness in tone.

A YELLOW EVENT
In the Career Of . Man with Yellow Mud On
Ms Shoes.

NEW YoRk Aug. l0.--A rural-lookiDg
man sauntered down Water street yester-
day with yellow mud on his shoes. He
carried small hand satchel. Evidently
he was hunting for some one. He stopped
in front of 2i3, but after Ave minutes
scrutiny he moved on. Next he stopped in
front of 23l for 10 minutes. Then he
moved along to 3l3.
No. 3l3 is a five-story tenement house.
1t is owned BY Frederick W. Miller of 74
jefferson avenue.
TN the ground floor there are an Italian
barber shop and another small room, both
fronting on the street In the big plate
glass window was card on which was
printed "Envelops addressed and circulars
forwarded" The stranger fingered long in
front of the window, looking at the card
and occasionally glancing up and down the
street smooth-faced, hesvy-set man
came ou, of the building and sized the
stranger up.
The fat man then drifted up alongside
the stranger, and after a short conversation
the two men went into the tenement. What
happened in there is not known, but 30 min
utes later there was a crash of glass and
yell, and the stranger landed on the side
walk. The plate glass window was smashed
to smithereens. The stranger lay yelling.
Blood trickled down over his right forearm
and formed a pool on the pavement. The
fat man had gone away. So had the valise
of the stranger.
At length q policeman happened by and
innocently inquired what the trouble was.
The stranger ceased yelling and became
reticent. The policeman lifted the stranger
to his feet and they started for the Oak
street station house. At the station house
the stranger refused a, first to say any
thing. The sergean; reminded him that he
might be yanked into court and questioned.

"Yes. and I'm % years old" said Mr..

Where do you live?" asked the ser

But no amount of questioning could in
duce Mr.. Smith to answer anything more
than in the country" In regard to what
he was doing in Water street and concern
ing what happened in the room he wouldn't
speak.
"All I've got to say is that | went in TO
