SucCRas


The Plano Recital Last Night Was a Great
Success.
The piano recital for graduation,
given at Hollins Institute last night, by
Miss Fannie Housar and Miss Ola Park,
pupils of Prof. Kath, was an entertain-
ment that for merit and the high stand
ard Of excellence of the music has never
been surpassed By anything of the kind
in this section.
The program as published in THE
TIMES yesterday was carried out, and
every number was we'll received by the
critical audience. Miss Park. in her
rendition Of Schumann's Soaring"
displayed q technique knowledge of
harmony and artistic taste that is rare
In young lady with no professional
experience. Miss Houser Is also an ex-
cellent piauiste and her remarkable
gifts and versatility we're brought out
last night in the beautiful rendition of
some selections from Mendelsshon and

some lovely vocal selections by Miss

RUSSIA is attempting to play the
same game on Japan that England
played on her at the close of the Russo
Turkish war. The Russians were al
most in sight OF the minarets OF STAN
boul when the British fleet in the Bos.
porus called halt to their further
advance, and when the Berlin congress
had concluded its labors but few OF the
fruits'of victory were left to them.
Japan has now defeated and humiliated
China; but, just after the latter had
agreed to the terms of the victor, Russia
steps in and objscts to some of the most
important features OF the treaty. Japan
has acceded to some of her suggestions,
and doubtless would have to accede to
all or fight, but for the fact that the
same power, which prevented Russia
from carrying out her grab game on
Turkey, stands ready again to balk her
in the accomplishment OF her designs,
and defer. for half century or more,
the completion of the programme
mapped out for his country nearly two
hundred years ago by Peter the Great.

THE United States will, it is said,
have another case of alleged ill-treat-
ment of an American citizen against
France. Paul Bray, a step-son of the
colored ex Consul Waller, OF Madagas-
car and who was also interested in the
concessions obtained there by the latter,
was arrested, tried and convicted by
the same French courtmartial on the
charge of conspiring with the Hovas
and forcibly deported. He has just arr
rived in New York from France and
will lay his claims before the govern
ment ct Washington. There will not
be any international complications in
either Of the above cases, however.

This will be the first election held
under the Walton election la in which
there is any considerable number of
candidates to be voted for to confuse

conventions have been held by both

TIE CLOTHING OF A TW0-YEAR-OLD GIRL
TAKES FIRE,
And She Is Seriously Injured BsfOr, the Flam.
Are Eztinguishsd-WM Probably Not
Result Fatally.

Some time yesterday morning a two
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIII
son, who live on North Main street, oD-
posite the Wheeling Hospital, had a
narrow escape from death, and as it is
received injuries which may result
seriously.
The mother OF the child was working
about crate in the room, an the
child stood by watching her. Mrs. Will
son removed the ashes, and ca FRIED
them out OF the house. In her absence
the little girl ventured too near the
fire, and her clothing became ignited
from the flames. The mother heard the
screams Of her daughter and rushed into
the room to find her enveloped In flames
With considerable difficulty the flames
were extinguished, Mrs Wilson burning
her hands while trying to save the
child.
DR.. Frissel was Immediately sum-
moned and made an examination OF the
injuries of the little girl. He found
that the flesh on her face and hands was
badly burned, and her side and arms
were raw where the clothing had
burned. The physician did what he
could to relieve the sutferngs OF the
little girl. and expressed the opinion
that her wounds will not result fatally.
But for the prompt assistance which
was given by the mother, the unfortu-
nate affair might have resulted more
seriously.

Yesterday was easily the coolest day

Yesterday was easily the coolest day
of the winter.

below at Schnepfs and below at the
bridge, while other thermometers in
various parts OF town went as low as
and 10 below zero. At all points sur
rounding Wheeling the mercury ran
away down, touching Is below at some
places, and the sudden change Of more
than 90 degrees in twenty-four hours
naturally caused a great deal OF suffer

this appeared 10 be certain, the mer-
curry then being IL above 81 Schnepfs

Last night was much warmer, or rather
was not so cold, as Saturday night, and

be reasonably high.
The indications all yesterday after
noon were for big snow, the barome-

the weather department observers.
The blizzard made It's first appearance
Friday morning In the Saskatchewan
Valley, about three hundred miles west
of Lake Winnipeg and the same dis

North Dakota and Montana. AT Prince

By Saturday morning the cold wave had

last night the area of extreme cold was
probably in Central New York, Eastern
Pennsylvania aud in Maryland and New
Jersey, while Virginia and even States
farther south probably got touch OF
winter. The cold wave was accompanied
along the whole route from British
America by snowfall ranging from
eight TO twenty-four inches.
Yesterday the natural gas supply was
shorter. during most of the day, than 1t
was on Saturday, and in many parts of
the city there was general resort to
coal and wood as means Of preparing
meals or of raising the temperature Of
apartment above the freezing point.
This state of affairs continued until a
late hour last night, when gas became
more plentiful.
The Street Rail way Company had an
other tough day Of 1t, and cars ran very
