1t seems pity that such delightful
recital as that rendered last evening by
Mr.. Ernst Perabo should not have been
attended by a crowded house. Hardly
more the 200 were gathered in Kotzsch-
mar hall to enjoy the programme, but
they will long remember it as a genuine
treat. Although comparatively small,
the audience was appreciative and accord
cd the artistyapplause and praise which
his performance richly deserved. Mr..
Perabo played a long and varied pro-
gramme and one of unu ual difficulty,
yet he was equal to every requirement
and, moreover, no part of it appeared to
tax his abilities so that he visibly exerted
himself. He plays with ease and freedom,
yet not with liberty-the music of the
composer Is produced conscientiously in
its true spirit, while the artist does not
endeavor to intrude his own PERSONAL ty
on his hearers This is the mark Of the
ture artist. Mr.. Perabo plays with genuine
feeling, fine conception and apparent
ease marks which make the most ardu
Gus demands on performers ability. His
execution is clear and precise. He pro-
duoes delightful, sympathetic tone that
appeals at once to the musical ear. He
was at his best perhaps in the Liszt ar
rangement of Schubert's 'Barcarole, . on
the Rubinstein "Barcarole'' and the
Schumann "Finale." His Interpretation
of the Beethoven Sonata, the familiar
moonlight" was also wol thy of special
mention. One particular delight in MIR.
Perabo's playing is his delicate and re-
fined phrasing. He never fol ces the piano
beyond it's capacity.

Brazil wonders who gives out the
news that is received abroad con-
corning her home movements. She
may as we'll continue to wonder,
for it is as impossible to bottle
up news as it is noise in this day
and generation. Brazil would
gain immensely by giving freely
to the world official reports of all
that transpires within her territory.
1t would disarm criticism, prevent
false reports obtaining credence,
demoraliZe the revolutionists and
do more to restore public conf
dence than any other one thing
that she could do. Moraes has
shown himself wise, sagacious,
broadly conservative and able in
administration, but he is not show
ing his usual wisdom in establish
ing censorship over the press

him. He was an ardent advocate
of the Hawaiian cable construction

Hill will go down to history as
the man who defended the admin
istration of Cleveland to less pur-
pose than any other man who ever
attempted thetask, either in or out
OF Congress. There are two reasons
for this; one that Hill did not
undertake the defense of the ad-
ministration from either love or
conviction, but from necessity, the
necessity Of putting himself right
with his party; the other, that his
defence was so delayed that it did
no good when it was interposed.
To this it may be added that no
man knew better than Hill did
that his defence would be useless,
and to this fact may be referred
the undertaking Of that defence
under any circumstances. Hill
was ready to appear as Cleveland's
apologist when he knew that it
was useless, but not before. He
was not intending to defend the
President in what he did, but to
take away any possible obstacle
in Hills way.
