WELCOME TO MR.. DAYARD
Warmly Greeted on His Re-

A RECEPTION AT SOUTHAMPTON
Praised for His Address in

The Mayor of Southampton Delivers the
Address of Welcome = Ambassador
Bayard Chesred Heartiiy-His Reply
and what Ho Said of the Recent
Elections.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-The North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Havel arrived at
Southampton tonight from New York.
Among her passengers were Ambassador
Thomas +. Bayard and Mrs. Bayard,
both of whom We're in good health. The
steamer experienced boisterous weather
on the passage. On the tender which
went out to meet the Havel were the
mayor and corporation officers of South
ampton, the American and German con-
suls and Others. A band was also present
and shortly before it reached the steamer
began playing Yankee Doodle"
MIR. Bayard was given a most hearty
welcome. The mayor handed to the
Ambassador an address of welcome, and
referred to his famous speech at Will
nington, Del, in which the Ambassador
had highly praised the British Queen
and people. Such commendation, the
mayor said, was highly gratifying to
the British people and was heartily reeip.
rocated. irhe mayor referred to the
pleasure iof the anticipated arrival of
the two American-bu vessels of the
American line, and said that he trusted
that the pgesent cordial commercial and
political relations between Great Britain
and the United States would long con-
tinue.
The German consul also made brief
speech of welcome.
When MIR. Bayard started to reply he
was cheered heartily. When quiet was
restored he expressed his thanks for the
reception rendered him. He added:
81 speak with emphasis and with the
same voice on both sides of the Atlantic.
l may say that the acceptance of my
speech was as hearty among my
own people as here. believe l under
stand the heart of your people and my
relations to it. hope to bring still
closer together the hearts and hands of
both peoples"
The Ambassador and Mrs. Bayard
started on special tram for London a
little before midnight.
Speaking of the recent elections in the
United States, Mr.. Bayard said just
before leaving that he was very far from
believing that the true meaning of the
results should be construed rs an ap-
proval OF the spirit of what is known as
McKinleyism, which, he added, is a
policy uf isolation of American indus
tries from any participation or com
munity in the rest Of the world.

revolted..
Hot words passed between Wright
and his boarder and when the latter
still declined to come up with the dust,
Wright seized a raw hide and belabored
the poor negro over the head and shoul-
ders until he begged for mercy. Then
with parting kick he helped him out
the doorway. Williams took a somersault
and landed on the sidewalk. He retail

Williams had no one to corroborate
his story, while Wright was backed up
by several persons who declared they
were eyewitness to the assault. They
refuted the testimony of the musician,
and Judge Ball dismissed the case.

A Minister Denounces Modern Football

Special Correspondence of Gazette and .ourua
MIppLETowN, Nov. 20.-The Rev. Il.
ii. Moore, pastor of Forest Presbyterian
Church, and one of the most learned
and able ministers in the New Castle
Presbytcry, in his Sunday evening SER
mon denounced the game of football as
engaged in by some of our leading coll
leges as brutal, and not conducive to
good Christian morals. If football is
right, as played by college teams, then
horse-racing is an innocent pastime.
The boys who participated in the games,
he stated, were grand and noble fel-
lows, but the contests themselves were
far from being right. He approved of
athletics and boating and baseball, but
learned enough by viewing recent
game of football to convince him that
it was brutal pastime, and not to be
compared with other kinds of athletic
sports.

DEATH OFANTON RUBINSTEIN
The Noted Russian Pianist
and Composer.
DEATH DUE TO HEART DISEASE
His Career in Europe and
This Country.


ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 20-Anton
Gregor Rubinstein, the celebrated Rus
sian pianist and composer, died to-day
of heart disease at Peterhof, near this
city.
Rubinstein was born at Weichwoty-
metz, on the frontier of Roumania, No
vember 30th, 1880. As child he was
taken to Moscow and studied the piano
under Alexis Villoing. His first appear
ance in public was made when he was
only years of age. At 10 years Rubin
stein went with his teacher to Paris,
where he remained for two years, his
performance at several courts winning
for him the advice and encouragement
of Lszt.
Rubinstein next visited England,
Sweden and Germany, and in Ber-
lin he studied composition under
Dehn. Having completed his course
OF instruction, Rubenstein devoted
himself for some time to teach
ing in Berlin, and later to teaching
in Vienna. He returned to Russia later
on and was appointed pianist to the
Grand Duchess Helena. Subsequently
he became director of the musical con-
certs of the Russian Musical Society.
Rubinstein visited the United States
in 1S72.73.
Among the dead composers operas
are "Dlmitri Donskoi," Lies Chasseurs
Siberions," "La Vengeance" Tom
LeFou,' "Les Enfants des Bruyeres,"
"Lalla Rookh," "Nero," and "Ivan
Kalashorikoff."
The jubilee of Rubinstein's public
service was celebrated in st. Petersburg
on November 18th, 1889.
Since 1867 Rubinstein has held no
office, spending his time in travelling
and in composing. In 1869 Alexander
II ennobled the composer, and in 1877
France decorated him with the cross of
the Legion of Honor.
