A Good Friday Concert.

The attractions of Ovide Musin and his
company, which were added TO those of
the Vienna Prater Orchestra at the Good
Friday concert in Metropolitan Temple
Yesterday evening, varied the entertain
cal treat than that habitually offered by
Herr ScheePs musicians.
Ovide Musin's solo, "GavOt of CoreLli,"
a composition just 200 years old, was not
work much more capabe of appealing to
modern audience than the lengthy sermons
that our forefathers delighted to honor.
Musin executed the gayot delicately and
fuently, his nuances being particularly
graceful and artistic He was very ably
seconded by the orchestra. Ratf's cavatna
was an encore that delighted the popular
taste. Paganini's mon Piu ii cor" gave
Musin more opportunity OF displaying his
''virtuosity" and he ably ayalled himself
of it.
Mrs. Annie L. Musin, who sang with
violin obligato, was one OF the successes
of the evening, her easy and finished exc
cution meriting the applause she received.
Miss BonsalI, received an encore for her
20 Salutaris." by Rossini Her tempo
was dirge-lke. her breathing defective
and her voice harsh and cultural. The
pianist Eduard Scharf, had common
lace touch and his attempts at expression
were studied and Dedantic.
Grleg's "Hearts-wouDd' and Spring"
by Grleg. were played with the most deli
cate shadlng by the strings Of the oTcheS-
ira. The performance was perhaps the
most delightful of the evening. As a sec
ond encore they played an Andante from
a string quartet Dy Tschaikowsky with
wonderful precision and artistic phr asing.

Argument in the Denver Con-
tempt Proceedings.
The Governor Bars the Jackson Cor
bett Mill, Because Colorado Has
Enough on Hand.

DENVER, March 23.-The feature in to-
days contempt proceedings was the argu-
ment of Colonel John Taylor .or the
prosecutor. He bitterly scored ex-MayOr
Platt Rogers or the defense. who admitted
he had advised his clients to do the acts
for which tney we're now being tried. Mr..
Taylor wanted Mr.. Rogers arrested and
punished for contempt with Mayor Van
Horn and Commissioners Barnes and Null
Inns. Mr. Rogers concluded the argument
and the case was given 10 the court late IN
the day. No decision is expected for sew
eral days.

The Supreme Court will tomorrow give
an opinion in the cases submitted by Gov

of escaping. while the lives of passers-by
were also endangered.
Matlock was coming down to his office,

81 am going to kill you-you were the
means Of my brother being killed. and now
you are trying to put up job to have
Charley killed." or words to that effect,
and aimed several blows at MatlOck's face.

Mstlock threw his arms about her, and in
the struggle both fell to the sidewalk. The
struggle continued on the sidewalk until

Having failed in her first attempt Mrs.
Braynard bolted off to her home at the
corner Of Jefferson and Oak streets and
secured another revolver and started to
return to the scene of battle. Her brother
Charley met her at about half way, and
with considerable difficulty induced her TO

When Matlock reached his Office he was
completely covered with dirt, the struggle
on the sidewalk having been severe one.

are in he same position as the men on the
Northern Pacific. which is not true. There

no weapon for labor but a strike. The
better way is just what the Union Pacific

the establishment of real arbitration
through the courts, holding that labor has
established rights the courts must recOg-
niZe. There will be no strike on the Union
Pacific. no matter how much outsiders may
try to stir up one. at least not until the
courts have been fully tried"
