ENTHRALLED BY MUSIC

~@A' AAAAe<AA<1AN14( d 01(.
While 1t lasted the great audience
was speHbound. Women especially
were intoxicated with the weird mel
ody. Long before the finale came with
a grand crash their faces had become
flushed as though in delirium, and their
parted lips and dancing eyes showed
now completely the tziganes witchery
had overmastered them
One woman was notably enthralled
Night after night she went to hear
Palikarus 'Ferko and ever her strange
passion for the music increased. She
was young, beautiful, an orphan and
worth millions. Her friends wondered
to see her so constantly at these Hun
garian concerts, but she never deigned
to explain her conduct. May not lovers
of music go wherever they can satisfy
their artistic sense? SO she claimed
being as yet blind to the fact that
though at first enamoured of the music
she had gradually ceased to long for it
and was longing for the musician. Yet
such was the truth. She, the dainty
Partisan girl, had conceived for this
picturesque seini-barbarian a passion
deep and uncontrollable.
When she aWoke to this fact she at
once determined to win Ferlko for her
self. This was easy The tzigane re-
sponded readily to her advances, and in
a, short time he and she arrived at a
clear understanding. He, the uncul-
tured Bohemian, promised to love her
as passionately and faithfully as she
could desire, and she promised to en-
dow him with all her wealth and thus
enable him to live a life of ease and
luxury. This strange compact was
duly signed and sealed. Ferko's wife
was easily induced to surrender all
claims on her disloyal spouse. The in
fatuated Partisan girl gave her 20,000f.,
and in a few days she and her two
little children went back to Hungary.
Ferko, too, shook the dust of theaters
off his feet and his violin was never
again heard in public.

wonderful for their potency and gro
tesqueness. Not violin, but a human
soul was speaking. Emotion after emo
ton claimed in turn the suzerainty of
the magic strings. Now an angel sang;
now a damned soul shrieked in agony.
After the pitiful cry Of Marguerite
came the challenge of Faust, fol-
lowed by the cynical sheer of Mephis-
topheles. Every possible tragedy and
comedy that saddens and gladdens this
earthly life Of ours seemed pictured in
this barbaric outburst Of music.

Aoent Aonew OF :he Gerry society found
young.woman.with a.baby in her arms sitting
m tho steps OF the downtown side OF tho
Third avenue elevated road NJ Fourteenth
street on Tuesday afternoon, begging. She
pressnted such an abJect spectacle In tho pour
In, rain which had soaked her clothing and
that NJ the baby, that numbers Of people threw
ron,,.s into her outstretched hands, and
,oue stopped to talk with her. These heard a
,srrible story nf destitution. She told Agent
Apnew that she had q sick husband at homo,
and she was forced to 20 out and beg to buy
food for the family.
Take me TO your homo and will help you,"
said Agent Agnew.
She consented, but soon changed her mind,
and the officer took her TO the Fifth street sta
tion and locked her up, as she appeared to be
partly intoxicated. She was frightened, and
said her name was Mrs. James Rogsn and
lived at $50 East Fourteenth street.
The officer went to that address. and was sur
prised to find her apartments neat and comfort.
ably furnished. and giving evidence of any
thing but destituton. A bright fire blazed in
a stove. the remains OF tho MONDAY meal lay
tifully supplied with food.
A neat carpet covered the floors. The Gerry
officer talked with some of the neighbors. and
learned that the woman's husband WIS a roofer
and hard working and respectable man. He
waited ultil the father returned from work,
frantic with grief. and begged to be allowed
TO see his baby, which had been taken to the
Gerry society rooms. He said that his wife
haa such an Unfortunate desire for liquor that
he was forced to keep her without money. and
that when she became desperate she would re-
sort to any means to get 1t.
When she was arraiHned In the Essex Mar
ket Court yesterday, and her baby restored to
her she was thoroughly penitent woman.
Her husband was present. and pleaded for her
release.
She is not to blame. your Honor" he said to

LATEST LONDON QUOTATIONS.
WEDNESDAY. Oct. IA.

WEDNESDAY. Oct Ia.
Bankers engaged in the foreign exchange
business were advised to-day of tho shipment
from abroad of $1.375.oOO gold by steamers
sailing to-day and on Saturday. Tho Bank of
England sold for export to this country to-day
about Sl,500.oo0 in gold bars and American
eagles Foreign bankers agree that the public
has not been informed Of large amount of gold
engaged for shipment or In transit for this
country. and some Of the best Informed are of
the opinion that the shipments by steamers
sailing to-day. tomorrow. Saturday. and next
Tuesday will foot up fully 100000 900. They
base their forecast upon the condition Of the
foreign exchange market which is ex-
ceedinglv weak, owing to tho absence of
demand and the liberal supply Of COM
mercial bills. and upon the constant demand
for gold at q commission of an eighth Of y
cont. or q little more. The prospects of large
recaipts of gold from abroad. together with c
confident feeling regarding the outcome OF the
election, enabled the professional element to
advance prices on the Stock Exchange during
the first half of the day. The buying power
then became exhausted and in consequence the
market halted. After an hour or two of hesita-
tioa a selling move ment set in that wiped out o
large part OF the early improvement. The SELL
ing was Of the same character as tho early buy
ing. namely. by professional operators. 1t was
