GUSTA COTTLOW.
A Farewell Performance
Last Night.
An Evening of UnaIloyed Enjoyment
Passed by an AppreCiative
Audience.

@Little Augusta Cottlow bade farewell to
her San Francisco admirers at her grand
concert in Metropolitan Temple last
evening.
The building was we'll filled, and people
seemed so loath to hear the last of the
gi fted child. that she was induced, by con-
tinued applause. 10 give an encore after
the final number on the programme.
The opening number. Beethoven s
KreuiZer Sonata, was played by Miss Cott-
low and Nathan Lands berger in manner
that won hearty recall. The violinist
scarcely threw the passion and abandon
ment into the weil-known music that many
performers give. particularly when playing
the finale and presto. His rendering was
satisfactory, however. although the loud
est applause was evoked by the gifted
artistic who presided at the piano.
Mr. Landsberger played with most feel
Ing and self-abandonment 10 the spirit of
the music in the second encore which he
and Miss Cottlow gave the ever-popular
intermeZzo from the "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana"
Miss Alviua NJ. Heuer's song, "Yester-
day." evoked an encore. Her other two
contributions to the programme consisted
of a couple of ballads by Reginald de
Koven.
1t was Miss Cottlow.: however. who did
the lions share of the work. Nine num-
bers, IN addition to the concerted work
with the violin, was her part of the even
ing's entertainment. After playing de-
liciously Schubert and two Chopin selec-
tons she good-naturedly responded to the
applause which these three solos evoked
by an encore.
1t is hard TO say which of her last four
numbers on the programme was most
brilliantly and intelligently rendered; it
seemed marvellous tha' such a mature
conception of music. differing so widely in
style, could come from the slim, childish
little figure at the piano. The Schuberd-
List S0irees de Vienne calls for all that
virtuosity which the Weimar pianist
always had in mind when he arranged
tie musick of other masters. Miss Cotto W
surmounted its technical difficulties with
complete ease, as she did also In the List
GODdoliera.
IN Weber's Perputuom Mobile, the
beautiful liquid quality of her touch was
particularly noticeable. Rubinstein' sValse
Caprice. favorite with amateurs, was
played with brlliancy and intelligence
rarely heard.
On all hands. as the audience dispersed,
were heard admiriDg comments on Miss
Cottlow's talent, and regret that last
night was positively the last per-
fGrmance."

BROKE A MIRROR.
A Landlady Has an Ex-BOarder
Arrested for Battery.

Mrs. Winilred Byrne. who keeps lodg-
ing and boardingshouse at 237 Geary street.
caused the arrest Of young man named
Z. l.. Delaney on charges OF battery and
malicious mischief yesterday. Delaney
and his wife occupied rooms In Mrs.
ByrDe's house up to last Friday. During
the time they were rooming there large
mirror in their apartment was shot full
OF holes.
When Delaney and his wife got ready to
leave Mrs. Byrne held their trunks until
they paid for the damage done to the mir
ror and other property. In this action
Mrs. Byrne says she acted under the ad-
vice of her attorney. Last night Delaney
went to the house and was refused admit
tance. He then proceeded to batter down
the front door, when he was admitted.
Mrs. Byrne claims that Delaney then
struck her. An expressmsn and his as
sistant removed the trunks and more
words and blows followed, eliminating in
Delaney's arrest Delaney sent for king"
McManus. expecting to be bailed out i'm
mediately, but the King was slow in re-
spending to his friends appeal for release.
Finally the king" appeared, put up $50
cash and secured Delaney's release.

She beholds what has been done here
and what it is po ,sible for her to do.
There is California blood in Arizona.
That vast territory has not only the
bloody Apache to contend against but
reptiles snd deserts for hundreds of
miles, but all these things will be over
