A Great Pianist.

Paderewski will give his piano recital at the Hyperion tomorrow afternoon at 2:3O p. m. Reginald DeKoven in the New York World says:
 On the occasion of his second visit to this country I characterized M. Pad erewski as the Napoleon of the piano. forte. I see no reason now to alter my opinion in any respect or to limit in any sense the wide reaching signif- canoe of the appellation as applied to him. He is now, as formerly, the mas ter; absolute, in his way unique. Per haps broader, more mature, even possi- bly, more sincere in his art than two years ago, but ever the same great artist we had learned to admire and love, the same Paderewski.

THE BOPS ESCAPED.
A Case in Municipal Court Where th
Power of the Press Was Demonstrated

A Case in Municipal Court Where the
Power of the Press Was Demonstrated.
Seven small boys. ranging in age from
IL to l6 years, were given hearing in
municipal court Friday morning charged
with various pranks at Seventh and Van
Buren, streets, on all fools day, last Mon
day. The parents of several of, the boys,
into court to attend the trial, but took no
part in the proceedings. The boys'had no
counsel. 80.
They were lined up in a row and Clerk
Adams read the charges tupon which the
arrests had been made. What have you
to say to the CHARGE" Judge Ball asked
of the largest one ON the end of the line.
Not guilty." unhesitating!y replied the
accused lad, aud then the Others took the
cue from the leader and thus the answer
went all down the line.
William Fitchell, colored. testified that
he was putting in coal at Seventh and Van
Buren, streets, Monday, when one of the
boys threw an egg at the coal wagon. He
did not know who threw the egg, but he
recognized some of the boys in the line as
being present ut the time the egg was
thrown,
William Vernon, who lives at No. 729
West Seventh street. saw the egg strike the
wagon, hnt he WAS unable to ascertain the
name Of the boy who threw it,
William Rambo when asked as to
whether he knew the boy who threw the
egg ut Fitchell pointed to a small boy on
the end of the line and said he was sure
he was the culprit. The lad denied this
Charge in vigorous terms, and the reporters
present who were DESTROYS of seeing fair
play. told the youth to call the other boys
to testify in his behalf. Acting upon the
advice the lad called witnesses until the re.
porters told him to stop, and they all
swore that it was not the accused boy who
threw the egg. Then the prisoner went on
the stand himself and denied in toto the
charge that he was the guilty party, and
as he was not asked the question he did
not tell who did throw the egg.
1t was learned afterwards that the &C
cused boy was entirely innocent Of the
charge.
Judge Ball dismissed the boys, after first
imparting to them some sound advice, and
held the cases up with the understanding
that they will be prosecuted if the trouble
is again reported and they turn out to be
participants in the disturbances. The boys
grabbed their hats and left the court room
like school boys ON the announcement Of
a holiday.

and the latter responded TO his cry for
