TAILS OF THE WHITE HOUSE HORSES
President Cleveland Changes the Old Fash
ion and Has Them Docked-

Washington, Novem Der 20.-All of the
horses i'll the Presidents stables here
have their tails docked. The discovery
of the fact has caused some excitement
among that class OF persons who depre-
cate such radical departure from the
long-tailed fashion that has prevailed
among the White House horses since the
days of Thomas Jefferson. 1t has al
ways been regarded as essential to the
rule of humanity and dignity that the
President should ride behind horses with
flowing names and tails, and the persons
who are responsible for the present con-
ceBsion to fashion will, o Q. doubt. lie crit
icised as severely as were those VINO pro-
posed to hang Watts's painting of Love
During President Grants second adj
ministration, the docking of horses tails
was considered the proper thing among
those who set the court" styles, and a
persistent attempt was made TO obtain
General Grants consent to an abbrevia-
ii on of the tail of his favorite roadster
"Cincinnatus,n and the other fine horses
in his stable. The General, however.
regarded docking as cruel, and the long,
flowing tail as thing of beauty, and he
refused to be persuaded. The local So
ciety for the prevention of cruelty to an
imals thereupon passed appropriate res
olutions commencing the President for
his humane sentiments 1t is intiinated
that President Cleveland was also op-
posed to the docking operation, which
has Just taken place, but that he was
overruled by those whose desires he is
in duty bound to respect.

DEERING.
The High School Cadets Ball-How the
Cadets Started-A Result of the Encamp-
ment of the Coburn Cadets-Third and
Fourth Glass Boys the Promoters.


The Deering High School Cadets as
yet exist in name only. The ball at the
City Hall, Woodfords, last evening. was
for the purpose of raising money 10 help
buy uniforms and pay an instructor In
military tactics. 1t all came about as
follows: Several weeks ago, thlra
class boy, named Skill1ngs, having
been inspired by the spectacle OF the Co
burn Cadets, encampment here, suggest
ed to Claire Burnell, fourth class boy,
whose brother.is one of the Coburn Ca
diets, that it would be good thing to
have company of cadets at the High
school. They talked about 1t quietly
among themselves, and In short time
IS of the boys had promised to become
cadets, at the first opportunity, and the
whole school was enthusiastic over the
matter.
The following committee was appoint
ed to push the movement: First class,
CIapp, Somes and Emerson; Second
class, Ripley (who is chairman), Fltz.
and Colesworthy; third class, Hill, East
man and Skillings Fourth class, Bur-
nell, O'Brien and Glendenning. There
is very much enthusiasm among the
scholars, meetings have been held almost
every. day, and the ball has been doomed
as much as possible. 1t is hoped that
the City Government will appropriate
money for an instructor
The earnestness that has been devel-
oped among the scholars is worthy of
success. especially as the object is in
every way worthy. To say nothing of
the value of having every American
cItizsn know something of military drill,
The physical benefit to growing boys Is
alone worth the expense of such an al
dition to the High school curriculum.
At the time of growing, when the twlg
is being bent is the very time when the
setting up drill gets in its permanent
and inestimable benefit. Boys that
would otherwise be round-shouldered
men are Strengthened, and the whole
bearing and carr:age.of the body can not
fail to be improved. By all means let US
have High school cadets in Deering IT
it can possibly be afforded.
At the ball last night, Gllbert's Or
chestra furnished the music, Ralph W.
Emerson, 's5, was floor manager, and
the aids were Fred Ripley, $50. Guy Hill,
'a5, Claire W. Burnell '9s, and Phil
O'Brion, 1913.
If the young boys, mem bers of the two
lower classes, should originate the estab
lishment of company of cadets at the
Deering High school, it would indeed be
an achievement for them that should
render their names forever prominent in
the history of the institution.

ANTON RUBENSTEIN.
The Concert Given by the Great Plan
ist and Company in Portland.

He was Assisted by the Celebrated Violin
list Wieniawski and Mile. Liebhort-A
Grand Entertainment of Twenty-Five
Years ago Recalled.
The telegraph yesterday morning
brought the news of the death OF the
great Russian composer and pianist,
Anton Rubenstein who stood at the
very head of the great pianists Of the
world. On May 9, 1873, or twenty-one
years ago, the Portland musical public
were enabled to enjoy the greatest
musical treat of the dag in the perform
ances of Rubenstein on the piano, and
Wieniawski, the Russian violinist, equal
ly celebra ted with Rubenstein, who died
in 1880.
There was splendid audience gathered
to greet these musicians, and the house
was extremely enthusiastic. The great
pianist would shake his long hair back
from his face and in his fervor would
not infrequently strike false note, but
this was minor defect in playing that
carried the nearer off his feet. The
magic bow of Wienianski was equally
potent to charm his hearers, and it may
be said that two such musical stars have
never before appeared in concert in
Portland on the asme occasion. The
tickets were 81. SO and $1.00. This was
the programme:
q, Overture-"Egmont,'' Beethoven
B. Rondo Mozart

Mons L. RemblelinsAi was acc ompanlst.
Rubenstein's compositions comprised
every form of musical expression, from
a song to symphony. Russia conferred
on him the highest honors. He was
director of the Imperial Academy OF
Music in St. Petersburg. He was Com
mander OF the Order of Vladimir OF
Russia; of the Legion of Honor OF
France; Knight of the Crown of Prussia
in Germany; Knight of the Order OF
Don Anton of Spain; was given the
cross of Gustavus of Sweden and the
Order of Dunnbrogg of Denmark. These
were his principal decorations. He was
a man of great generosity and had given
away fabulous sums of money to the
poor.
