MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Stockbridge Course.

Next Thursday night the Stockbridge
course will open with the great Pader-
ewski. The London Morning Advertiser
saws: "Paderewski is the seer of the pi-
anoforte, and makes it speak with an al
most prophetic voice We hang on the
subtle echo of his tones as though they
were the whisperings Of some mysterious
oracle You might sit silently listening
to him in a darkened room, and the gla-
mour of his touch, his personality, would
be just as vivid, just as real. And about
his playing there is a lingering, caressing
quality such as we hear with no one else.
This last was clearly shown in the
Beethovons Sonata in A fiat, op. ITO,
which Paderewski played yesterday after
noon at ST James's Hall with perfect
mastery. 1t was a performance OF the
highest merit, and that judged from the
highest aesthetic standpoint. Two num-
bers from s'Songs without Words were
delightfully."- played, and the well known
"Spinnerlied, had to be repeated. At
ter his own ssGracovienne, PadereWsk1
played an encore piece, and the recital
concluded with Liszt's Etude de Con-
cert and the Rhapsodie No. IL We
should have said Fought to have con-
cluded," as he may still be playing for
aught we know. The audience simply
stuck to their seats, and insisted on en-
core after encore.
Given's Violin Recital.
Everybody who hoard the fine music
contributed during the two nights OF
ssFaust'' at City Hall by Mr.. Given's
Orchestral Club will want to hear them
again at the concert to be given by Mr..
Given at City Hall, Monday evening.
Besides the club six pupils will appear as
soloists, and class of twenty will play
an air and variations with orchestra Mr..
James A. Balm will be the pianist and
accompanist. Tickets are selling rapidly
at Chandler's.
The Park.
The Park Theatre Management is now
giving band concerts in front of the
house previous to the beginning OF the
performances. The half dime matinee for
the boys this afternoon will doubtless
be largely attended. There is no dimin-
ution in the size of the evening
crowds.
Notes.
All London is talking of the brilliant
actiLg of Miss Fay Davis, the lovely Bo-
hemian, who made her debut at the Crit
erion Theatre last Tuesday night and all

scene with Mr. Charles Wyndham, in

CANADIAN CATTLE.
Portland VIII Continue to Be the Only
Port of Shipment.

Secretary Morton has decided to recon-
mend to the Treasury Department. that no
shipment of Canadian cattle to Boston
be permitted. This. action was taken in
response to the request of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce forwarded to the
Treasury Department, which urged that
the privilege of shipments of cattle over
roads entering Boston be permitted with
a view to exporting them from the port
of South Boston. Up to the present time
no shipments of Canadian cattle have
been made from any port except that of
Portland. and several requests for similar
privileges from other ports have been de-.
MED.
Commenting upon the matter, Score
tary Morton said: cit seems to me that
the Boston people have disturbed them
selves unnecessarily over this matter.
The entire shipment of Canadian cattle
from Portland in the last IA months has
only amounted to about 1900, or consid-
erably less than $50 per month. 1t is such
small matter of profit to anybody that
it seems to me unwise to take risks to
the agricultural interests Of this country
by making any other avenue for the
transportation of Canadian cattle over
our SOIL y
Last year may not have been very
good year for shipping cattle, but usual
ly large number are taken out by the
Allan ands Dominion lines

PUSHING STANFORD SUIT.

Attorney General OInsy Orders Proceod-
ings to Begin in the Case.
SAN Francisco, May Special Gov
eminent Attorney l. d. McKissick has
received telegraphio instructions from
Attorney General Olney to push the gov
eminent suit for $15,000,000 against Mira.
Jane Stanford without delay.
Mrs. Stanford was recently in Wash
ington. Her trip to the capitol is said to
have been solely for the purpose of
urging upon the law department
action on the $15,O0O,000 claim She
had conceived the idea that the govern
ment was delaying the suit and making
no attempt to have it terminated at an
early date, but the attorney general as
sured her that the government had no
purpose in delaying the hearing of the
case
The suit by which the government
seeks TO melt away the Stanfords' mil
lions was begun on March 16. It runs in
the name of the United States, and Mrs.
Stanford is defendant as executor
of her husbands last will. The COM
plant recites that under the provision
of the old constitution of California the
Southern Pacific railroad company was
organized by Leland Stanford, Charles
Croker and others, and that as such
company they became liable to the gov
ernment for interest and principal of
certain government bonds issued in aid
of said company.
The government suit is far reaching in
its ramifications, for if Mrs. Stanford. as
executrix, is held liable in damages other
railroad magnates could not hope to es-
cape. 1t is probable that the defendants
answer will be fled soon after her ar
rival here in a few days, and that the
will case will be heard by June SO that
the appeal will reach the next term of
the supreme court

THE CHAIN COMPLETE.

So Said Judge Conlan in Holding Durrant
for the Murder of Minnie Williams.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-Theodore
Durrant will be placed on trial for his
life for the murder of Minnie Williams.
He was held to answer on the charge
in the superior court yesterday and
bail refused. Police Judge Conlan, the
committing magistrate, in rendering
the decision, briefly reviewed the
case and evidence adduced against
Durrant. In conclusion the judge said:
The people I consider have surely
wound the chain of circumstances in
this case around one Durrant, and to
cap the climax the property of the
dead girl was found in his possession.
The chain is complete and in my opin-
ion there is nothing wanting"

Damages by BlacklistinR.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 3-Frank NJ.
Ball. formerly chief yard clerk for the
Missouri Pacific railway has brought
suit against that corporation in the cir
cult court to recover $4,000 damages.
Ball claims that he has been blacklisted
by the Missouri Pacific railway and that
it is using its influence to prevent him
from obtaining employment
He states in his petition that he was
discharged from the position of chief
yard clerk without reason on July 81,
1894 He was offered a place by the
Union Pacific railway, but, he claims, J.
c. Hennessy, superintendent of termi-
nails for the Missouri Pacific. prevented
him from obtaining the position.
In March, 1895, Ball went to work for
the Western Weighing association in this
city. He was discharged, he says, with
out reason, because the Missouri Pacific
railway threatened to withdraw its pat
ronage from the weighing association if
he were retained in its employ.

TILE LAW OE DIFFUSION.

In the application OF manure to the
soil, one thing is to be fully consid-
cred. This is the extreme diffusibility
of all soluble substances in the soil,
when it Is in a fine condition of divis-
ion. Necessarily, this diffusion is eff
fected by the action of the water in
the soil, by which the plant food is
dissolved. 1t is this solution by which
the original diffusion is effected, and
as the matters dissolved in water ore
almost Immediately diffused through
the liquid, and this is distributed
among the particles of soil by capil-
larry and molecular attraction, it is
very quickly brought into contact
with the roots of plants and absorbed.
And as the water of the soil is thus
absorbed, the place of that which is
taken in by the roots is instantly filled
by new supply. Thus the more SOL
uble the plant food is, and the finer
the particles of the soil are made by
good cultivation, the better the crops
are supplied with food. American

GREEN TOMATOES,

Among the many plans that have
been proposed for saving the tomatoes
which remain unripe at the coming of
frost, we have found the following the
most satisfactory, says a recent bulle-
fin of the North Carolina Station.
When sharp frost is imminent gather
all the green tomatoes. Wrap each
separate in paper-old newspapers
will do. Now pack them in boxes and
store In cool place, just warm enough
to be secure from frost, but not warm,
the object being to keep, not to ripen
them. Bring out a few at time as
they are wanted, and place in q warm
place to ripen few days in advance.
In this way we have for several years
had sliced tomatoes on our table up to
the middle of January.

Easily Settled.

The Chicago man who had gone on q
business trip to Omaha had started
home again. He had been compelled
to run several blocks to catch the train
and was somewhat overheatad. The
temperature Of the car was over 100
degrees and still climbing. He stood
It for about five minutes and then tried
to open q window.
1t was one of those car windows that
nre not built for opening purposes, and
1t didn't open.
He tried another window, with the
same result
The third window stuck equally tight,
md he raised his foot and kicked q
large hole through the plate glass.
The conductor heard the crash and
came running into the car.
"W'ho broke that Window no de-
manded threateningly.

"Well, sir, it will cost you just S5v
"Here it is" said the other, handing
him SO bill.
IL haven't change FOR that" said
the conductor, somewhat taken aback
"Never mind the change" replied the
Chicago man. 'Keep it."
He raised his foot again, Kicked out
another window, took q newspaper out
of his pocket, sat down, and went to
reading as If nothing had happened.
