Chicago orchestra, and Mr.. Theodore
Thomas conducted. Miss Clifford
first numbers comprised the first four
soprano recitatives and the aria Re
ioice Greatly from Handels Messiah,
with orchestral accompaniment. Her

the difficult but exceedingly grateful
the difficult but exceedingly grateful

upper tones and the facility of her

Menace.
Considerable bad blood Is being engen-
dered along the river by the failure of the
responsible parties to remove the wreck of
the steamer hady of the Lake. Over a
month has elapsed since she burned at her
per, and her iron hull sunk in such a way
as to be menace to shipping. Yesterday
the Clyde packet from Philadelphia struck
Fer, and 1t Is said that some slight damage
was done, but the harm would have been
greater had the packet been going with
any speed. A few days ago the rudder of
the Harry Randall struck the sunken bow
of the wreck. causing the wheel of the
Randall to whirl round with great velocity.
This knocked down Capt. Barker, the pilot,
and injured him. Other troubles have been
reported because Of this wreck.

Escape Justice.

With not a little reluctance, as he ex-
planned to the jury, Judge McComas this
morning directed verdict of not guilty in
the case of William Schaeffer and Charles
Higiey. alias Smith, charged with the lar
ceny of a silver watch from the person OF
Joseph Hueston, an old soldier. The in
dictment charged the prisoners, two young
white men, said to be followers of racing
across the river, with larceny from the
person. The evidence, remarked the court,
showed the defendants guilty of larceny
only, however. Hence, Judge McComas
told the jury he was compelled, by the
rules of evidence and the law, to allow the
escape of two guilty persons BECAUSE the
Indictment lacked a count charging lar
ceny. In directing verdict of not guilty
Judge McComas suggested to the district
attorneys office that in such cases future
indictments should contain at least two
counts, one alleging larceny from the per-
son and one charging larceny or grand
larceny.

The country best suited to the sport was
gone over, special delight being taken in
the jumping of the Instructions presented
by fences, bitches and rough land. The
run extended over about eight miles of ter
ritory. Six or eight riders came in at the
finish. A dinner awaited the riders. Later

EXCESS OF WOMEN.
They Outnumber Men In the New Eng
land States and In New York State.

They Outnu1nDer Men IN NEW Eng
land States and In New York State.
The universal law governing such mat
tiers makes the female population of long
settled country or district higher than that
of one newly settled or partly developed,
and SO in the New England states the
number of women is in excess of the num-
Der of men, while in the western and Pa
ciiic states this is reversed. There are 90
O00 more women than men in the state OF
New York. There are 60 counties in the
state of New York, and in only 26 of these
do the male inhabitants outnumber the
female. Oddly enough, and for no reason
that is known, the excess of men is great
est in those counties which are nearest
New York and Brooklyn, though i'll New
York and Brooklyn the women outnum-
Der the men.
The migratory disposition Of men is
much more pronounced than that OF wom-
en-. and to this popularity, in part, the
New York Sun, authority for the foregoing
statistics traces the inequalities noticed.
A stention is called to the fact that there
is higher male than female birth rate,
and If other causes did not operate to re-
duce the Disparity there would be in every
community more men than women. Inc
reason that this is not the case is that the
ratio of deaths due to accidents and vio-
lence is much higher among mon than
among women. The casualties of warfare
fall almost exclusively on men, Tho VIC
Tins of murders, shipwrecks and accidents
ere men chiefly. The majority of suicides
are mon. IL this way the higher birth rate
is offset by the higher death rate. 1t may
be said in general way, too, that the
ordinary laws of health are more generally
observed by women than by men.
