that when Gustave Rowan was battling
with the waves after the wreck of the

AS Rowan asserts that the ballet music
from "Coppelia' saved his life, it was put
on the programme of his benefit concert.
The rest of the music, which was per-
formed under Scheels leadership, was as

and Drawn Work Done by the
Girls.

A number of Improvements have re-
Gently been made at the Magdalen Asylum
since the juvenile female offenders were
removed to the Whittier institution. The
entire building without regard to the
method of inmates commitment has been
devoted to the purposes intended.
The large recreation and sewing room in
the western wing of the building is now
used for sewing purposes exclusively.
About fifty machines and operators are
kept constantly at work. The sewing-room
in the eastern wing, where other than the
City inmates were kept, has been turned
into comfortable recreation-room, pro.
vided with benches, chairs and tables, and
made easy of access to the library.
About fifty girls confined under commit
ments are employed mainly in the manu-
facture OF household linen, ladies' wearing
apparel and embroidery work. The chief
support of the institution is derived from
the allowance OF SIS a month for each in
mate committed by the City. This in
cludes board, clothing and tuition. The
work OF the EN- broidery-room is sold and a
small revenue derived from that.
At present this department is rushed
with work. For several weddings in high
society announced for this fall the inmates
are preparing dainty creations for the
trousseaus of the brides, including Spanish
drawn work in most intricate designs.

completed is the seat and back piece of a
chair, in ecru silk, worked in the conven-
tual design in many shades.
In addition to this the embroidery de-
partment is also engaged on orders for table
and mantel scarfs, table covers and COM
plete set of household linen, each piece
worked with initials.
A lunch cloth, by 10 feet in size, in
which Alb violets were embroidered, is con-
sldered by the sisters to have been one of
the most intricate and beautiful pieces of
work yet turned out. So true to life were
the vlolets that when the cloth was scented
with the odor the lady for whom it was or
dered could not believe but that they were

the figures mount higher; in summer they
fall below 10000, but that is the regular or
general average.
The population of New York, consisting
of those in prison under conviction or
awaiting trial, is much less than is popu-
larly supposed. BY the last report of the
mmissioners, it seems that the number
of persons in the Tombs on A prl was 400.
which is not a very large number for city
of 1000, 900 inhabitants. The total mum Der
of persons awaiting trial in the District
Court prisons at that time was 203 still
smaller number when IL is considered that
the Police Courts of New York dispose of
that NUM- Der of cases day on an average.
In the penitentiary on Blackwells Island
at that time the total number of prisoners
was 1923.
The total number of persons in custody
in New York on criminal charges is less
than one-tenth of one per cent of the
whole population of the city. In the aims

April L, 2090 inmates; in the workhouse,
1477; on Randalls Island, 400 children,

sons in city hospitals, who are usually in

SCHEEL WILL NOT PAY,
But He Intends to Play His
Contract at the Mechanics
Fair.
The Union VIII Make an Effort to
Have His Case Recon-
Sidered.

When Scheel heard on Friday that he was
to be boycotted by order of the National
League of Musicians, he gave vent to little
expression of opinion beyond saying that
the claim was an unjust one. and that he
had not the money to pay.
Yesterday, however, he had thought the
matter over, and, sustained and fortified
by the sympathy of his musicians who
had rallied round him at the Rowan con-
cert, he expressed his ultimatum in no IN
certain voice.
"If 1 had $4,000 I would not satisfy such
an unfair demand" he exclaimed, and a
chorus ofvoices murmured assent to there
being no doubt about the injustice eve
are good union men," added one of the
violins, 'but we intend to have this case
retried'
''We consider that the local lodge is en-
titled to a good deal more consideration in
the matter than the National League has
given it.
"They talk about the Supreme Court,
but do not see the connection" continued
Scheel, speaking .volubly in German. ''If
the Police Court dismiSses a case does it go
to the Supreme Court? Of course, it does
not, and yet the local lodge, an inferior
tribunal, found that l did not owe the
$1100. After that, according to legal prece-
dent, the case should have been dis
missed"
On Tuesday meeting of the local Musi-
clans Union will be held in order to take
steps to induce the National League to re-
consider its decision. Scheel's men are
confident that if their conductors side of
the case had been fully represented at the
National convention he would never have
been condemned to pay the amount
claimed by the men from New York.
Steps will also be taken on Tuesday to
see if the boycotting, which should come
into force on Tuesday next, cannot be sus-
pended pending the attempt to obtain
reconsideration OF the evidence from the
National body.
Scheel has obtained the contract to con-
duct at the Mechanics Fair, and if no re-
consideration can be Obtained he will be
placed in the impossible position of having
to pay sum which he has not got or of
conducting without an orchestra
''The contract is here" he said after the
concert yesterday, tapping his right-hand
pocket significantly. II shall play it. and
| shall do so without paying the required
demands which the National League have
imposed upon me-"

STILL HUNTING BRESSE,
Broker L. w. MCGIauflin Wants
His Partner and His
Gold.
AS Exporting of the Books Con-
tinueS Grosser Discrepancies
Are Found.

The exporting of L. w. McGlaufin &
Co.'S books was continued yesterday, and
discoveries were made on nearly every leaf
turned. These were of such nature that
Bresse is wanted at the firms business
Office on California street to explain seri-
Gus discrepancies that cannot otherwise
be elucidated.
Detectives so far have been unable to get
a clew as to the movements of the young
broker after last Monday. Most people
think he took a steamer for northern or
southern coast port under an assumed
name, while others believe he took the
overland train for the East last Monday
night
Pending the filing of the injunction suit
and petition for an accounting by his part
ner McGlaufin, the young man had drawn
SIS, O99 from the California Bank, leaving
but $22 to his credit so it is inferred that he
is well provided with money for as long q
time as he may deem the condition of his
health demands.
1t will be several days before the expert
will have finished his labors Owing to
the manner in which the books were
mutilated the task has proved more diff
cult than was at first expected. Mr. Kirk
patrick finds the need of Smiths and
Bresses presence daily.
"Have you found anything to alter your
original opinion concerning Dresser" was
asked of Mr.. Collins, the receiver, yester-
day.
mo, sir without hesitation.
"Do you think the clerical and non
clerical discoveries you have made would
account for Dresses desire to remain
away?"
81 think the inference must be obvious
to the public; but you can see that at
present it is not in the strictest proprietv
for one to talk for publication When the
exporting of the books has been finished
| will be able to speak with authority.
Suffice it to say that the young man is
needed badly"
Mr.. McGlauflin had nothing to saw be-
You'd that he was in the fight as big as
ever and intended to stay to the finish.
Louis Bresse, the special administrator
of the Fair estate, denied all knowledge of
his brothers present residence. He said,
however. that he had no cause TO worry
about the young man and felt sure that he
would turn up all right.
George A. Rankin, Mr.. McGlauflin's at
torney, had little new to offer He repeat
ed merely that he intended to unearth the
missing partner if possible and in time
have the whole affair exposed.

TOWED BY A BIG CATFISH.
A Fisherman's Exciting Ride on the
Ohio River.

"A GAClbiuS tHe
Ohio River.
Charles Thompson is q fisherman who
feels equal to any fish that swims He is
proud of the strong fight ne made with q
ninety pound cat he caught in the river
near Tow Head Island yesterday. He
caught the fish on a trot-line that he set
the night before thirty feet from shore.
When he went out to run his line he did
not notice that anything unusual was
hooked, but when he began to pull the
line in he was not left long ignorant of the
fact that he had something of the nature
of a whale Hank Gordon, who was
also in the skiff, saw Thompson
when he made the first Iurch
forward. He '"lowed something was
up" and sprang to his feet thinking that
caught hold of Thompson's feet with full
determination that if Thompson went by
the board" he would go with him.
In the meantime the boat was spinning
up the river at a wonderful rate of speed,
and Thompson was lying fat on his
stomach. with the line almost cutting his
hands in two. The fish carried the skiff
about two miles up the river, and then
turned down stream with SO much sudden
ness as to almost swamp the boat. The
fish kept the race up for about two miles
down the river, and finally darted in
toward shore and toward pile of brush.
where it stopped. The skiff had been going
at such rate of speed that it was run up
on shore. The fish felt secure under the
brush, and ''sulked," so the two men began
to wrestle with the problem of how to get
it out.
Finally Thompson managed the thing
by jumping into the river and Selling the
fish around the body. For awhile it was
difficult to tell which was the fish and
which was Thompson. Gordon had in the
meantime pulled out his scaling knife, and
when the fish seemed to be on top Gordon
reached out and cut the fish in the gills
After that the struggle was uneven and the
fish soon yielded.-Louisville Courier Jour
