Edouard Remenvi-

Celebrated as a violnist, will make his re-
appearance in this city at the Metropolitan
Temple on April 26 in the first Of a series
Of three concerts; the second to be given on
the 9th, the third on the 28th He will be
supported by Miss Minnie D. Methat So
pTano, Nile. Florence Sage, solo pianist
ana accompanist. and Mr.. James Marsh
bank, baritone. The enterprise is under
the management of Blr. Albert Marks. Re-
menyi and Wilbelmji have occupied an
equal share Of public attention. Some are
disposed to give the latter first place, but
the general feeling is that in the mastery Of
the violin hOnors are even. When Remenyi
was last in this city, June, 1879, his pianist
was Dir. Ferdinand Quicken, and better

Farce Comedy's Raison d'Etre.
A writer says; The popularity OF the
acrobatc farce does not abate. The public
appetite for this sort of thing seems TO be
in satiable. There is, after all, good DIAL
OF genuine human nature in it when it is
well done. and perhaps the lack Of that ip-
estimable quality In the artificial play-ihe
drama of false sentiment which has flooded
the English speaking stage during q good
part Of the nineteenth eenturv-accounts in
some measure for the vogue of the so-cnlled
farce comedy" which combines elemental
simplicity of characterize ton with the bus
tie Of the comic pantemime and the song of
negro minstTelsy. However it is sad to
think that the stage is so largely given over
to the sheerest friyoliiy that the humor of

~ Sing Like a Man, Sirl"
That excellent but rather erratic singer,
UEo Talbo, is occasionally heard from in
a Characteristic way. The other evening he
happened 10 be talking to n friend in a
private room attached to place OF public
report, when party of gentlemen entered,
as if intent on some business. He and his
friend rose to leave, but the newcomers
requested them to remain, They had
merely called in, they said, to hear one Of
their number sing song or two o which
be pTided himself. Ialbo and friend
seated themselves again. Presently the
singer commenced. and ia q thin, effeminate
voice sang tinkling modern song. Talbot
was evidently Ill at ease. Being duly ap-
Ulauded the singer yeniured on a second.
This was too much for the uneasy man.
The slini-,imDrred vocalist had scarcely
finished the first verse when the pugna-
CIous little primo tenOre spTaDg to lis feet
and, glazing at him, finally exclaimed:
My God, sir! Why d0u't you sing like a
man, not Ike sissy? Why don't you sing
like this?
And, fred by excitement. T albo gave in
his best style an operate aria that paralyzed
tie party. 1t was certainly a splendid
piece of vocalism.
Then lie left the room with a fine rage
on.

man who can sing like that2"
Ialb0's professional standing and peeuli-
aTties were explained by his friend and the
sllm-v0lced tenor did not care to sing any
more just then.
Presently the irate Talbo returned in
calmer frame Of mind, explanations fol-
lowed, and his bTusque conduct was con-
Gored.
The singer who eDraged him proved to be
the principal tenor of Primrose and Vests

MADISON, Wis, Sept. pa fraternal
insurance company having for its OBJ
jects the insurance Of brewers and
liquor dealers exclusively is being
formed and will apply to the insurance
commissioner ia few days for permls-
sion to do business. The founders take
cognizance of the fact that all the frater

dealers as members and with view to
supplying what they deem to be want
in this direction the order is established.
1t will be called the Brewers and
Liquor Dealers Protective Insurance.

ment plan and have lodge with ritual,

of liquor dealers in this city have agreed
to join to open lodge which will be the

THE LAW Is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Opinion of the Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Regarding the Game Law.
MADISON, Wis, Sept. 22.-The attor-
ney-generaPs department has been COM
PEELED to give an opinion as to the val
idity Of the game law passed by the
last legislature The law provides that
the third OF the fines remaining after
the payment of the two-thirds reward
to the person who secures the
conviction shall be paid into
the general fund in the state
treasury, whereas the constitution
says the "clear proceeds" of all fines
shall be paid into the state treasury and
credited to the school fund. After ex-
amining the question for E. A. Ed
munds, of Oconto, Assistant Attorney
General Clancy says that part of the
law which provides for the payment of
one-third of the fines collected into the
general fund is unconstitutional. He
says that Notwithstanding the fact that
the payment of one-third of the fine to
the general fund is invalid, it does not
follow that the whole act is void and
cannot be enforced.

ACCOUNTS IN A BAD MIDDLE
What the Expert Finds In Investigating
the Affairs of a ManitOWOC Bank.

MANITowoc, Wis, Sept. 23.-People
who placed confidence in the security
of the State Bank of Manitowoc
and the business methods of Presi-
dent Barnes and Cashier Barnet
will receive shock when the report on
the examination into the affairs of the
bank is made public. The statement,
which is in course of preparation,
will make some sensational disclosures,
and rumors that followed the death of
President Barnes and the drowning of
Cashier Barnet few days later, will
doubtless be revived Mr.. Barnes died
suddenly at Charlevoix, Mich, where
he was visiting relatives, and Mr.. Bar
nets body was found i'll the river, en-
tangled in fish line, it being supposed
he was accidentally drowned.
The testimony Of the expert engaged
to investigate the affairs of the bank, SO
far as it has gone, shows that there is no
stock ledger, giving the names of the
stockholders; that there is no loan stnd
discount register, and that the trial bal
ance record of individual accounts is
also missing; With these exceptions
the banks books are in line with
deposit record shows $4,000 not
A letter from the comptroller
of the currency in 1891 was produced
in evidence, advising, the directors to
raise an assessment of 10 per cent. on
the stock, as he had found the
capital stock inadequate. Instead
of doing SO the bank was
changed from national to a
state bank, though practically insolvent
at the time. Up to 1891, the city records
show that the bank had eleven stock
holders. President G. G. Barnes
interest was given at $4,000, although
the books show that he drew
dividends on greater amount.
Subsequent record show that his
interest grew to $4,000 from May,
1891, to May, 1882 The expert found
the bond record reduced $4,000 and
nothing to show as to what had become
of the same.
According to the records in the
registers Office, j. w. Barnes, brother
of G. G. Barnes, former vice-president
and at present the assignee of this bank,
in 1891 assigned fifteen mortgages of
81 900 each to the bank He after
ward satisfied four of the same as vice
president but the bank books do not
show that it received an equivalent for
the same. The other eleven
mortgages are still open. In his
statement as assignee to the clerk
of court he fails to mention the mort
cages in the assets. He will no doubt
give a satisfactory explanation when
the time comes.

FEWER PRESIDING ELDERS NOW.
Important Change Made by the Methodist

Important Change Made by the Methodist
Conference at Fort Atkinson.
FORT ATKINSON, Wis, Sept. 21.-The
Ms<f odist Episcopal conference was
preceded this afternoon by one hour of
devotional services beginning at s
o'clock. The report of the districts
was continued. At the conclusion of
the report several visiting ministers
Rev. w. ]. Bowen, colored, of the
Western Missionary Society. The or
der of Conference work was laid
aside. Fifteen minutes was given
to DR.. Kurz, of Chicago, represent
ing the Methodist Book concern,
who gave short talk in the interest of
the work. DR.. Rogers, of the Wesley
Hospital OF Chicago, was allowed five
minutes. He gave an interesting talk
on the great good done there and he
urged the Methodist conference to raise
what they could to assist in the work.
A committee was appointed to confer
with him. A resolution was introduced
reducing the number Of districts in the
conference, with the object of giving
the presiding elders less time in the
large parishes and more time in the
weaker parishes. Much discussion
on this point took place, the general
opinion seeming to be that both
good administrative ability and
good revivalism were needed. The
result was a decision to reduce the
number of districts from five to four by
vote Of 66 to AZ. The Rev. Mr.. Os-
from introduced a resolution TO reduce
the Milwaukee district to smaller limits
and to make the presiding elder of that
district the city missionary, according
to the recommendation Of the City Mis-
sionary Society. The resolution was
tabled, but will probably come up agaiS,
