RosENTHAL TO BE HEARD HERE.
The Great Pianist to Play Mt Next of
the Metropolitan Concerts.

1t would really seem as though the re-
sources Of our language had been long
exhausted in piling up raise for Rosenthal,
and the reviewer who should desire to be
original in telling about the accomplish
ments OF this wonderful man approaches
the subject with consciousness OF his in
ability to say anything new. The sensa-
ton that this Napoleon OF the piano has
created in New York is absolutely un-
precedented in the annals Of piano play
ing in this country.
Long ago Runlnsteln said: II never
knew what technique was until 1 heard
Rosenthal," and from all accounts. ne
has not been standing still. and to-day,
by virtue OF the perfection of his art, he
stands supreme among the yianists OF the
world.
1t is a matter for very sincere con-
graduation that ROsenthal is 10 visit this
city shortly. He Will come here under
the auspices Of the Metropolitan Concert
Company. on December 18th. He Will
appear at the Academy OF Music, and will
be supported by the celebrated American
soprano, Miss Martha Garrison Miner,
and Signor Giacomo Quintano, the fore
most viOlinist Of Italy. Miss Julie Leyey
will be the accompanist

Of Messrs. Walter -. Moses & Co. This
enterprising firm has succeeded in per
suading the directors Of this enterprise
TO issue season tickets for the remaining
concerts. The price has been proper
donately reduced. 1t is a notorious fact.
that the Nordica concert given here OF
the 10th of November, was a dismal fall
are. from a box-ofiice standpoint, and en-
tailed a heavy loss upon its promoters.
rhe phenomenal success achieved By
Rosenthal will undoubtedly give an i'm
petus to the sale OF seats; the New York
critics have rot hesitated TO say that he Is
the superior of Paderewski. and as the
last named artist was greeted by one of
The largest audiences ever seen in Rich
mond upon such an occasion, 1t is only
reasonable to expect that the same hearty
reception will be extended TO Rosenthal.

THE BROWN VERDICT.
Guilty of Conduct Unbecoming Chris
tan Minister.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 1S.-The
Post says A verdict has been reached
I'm the case of Rev. G. o. Brawn ana
the committee findings have declared
the minister 'guilty of conduct unbe-
coming a christian minister
The committee finished its report
today and presented it to the council.
The report, which is about 1000 words
i'm length, will not be made public un-
ill it has been submitted to the Con-
gregational church, which Will prob
ably be tomorrow night. 1t Is be-
leiyed the report will eXOnerate Mr.,
Brown on the charge of immortality,
but will find guilty Of unministerial
conduct. Upon the pre- else wording
of the report under unministerial con-
duet specification will depend the ac-
tion of Mr.. Browns friends. The
council may or msy not fix the punish
ment, but even If no penalty Is men
toned, severe condemnation by the
council would result in Browns loss
Of his church.
Should this occur, the pastors
friends declare they will form new
church for him in this city. Each
member of the council has taken a
solemn pledge of secrecy and the re-
port will not be made public until it
is presented to the congregation of
the First Congregational church this
evening.
The closing paragraph is to the ef-
feet that although no evidence has
clearly convicted Brown Of any single
act of immortality, yet, the testimony
has been such as to throw grave
doubts upon the mans moral char
acter.
Even those most prejudicial against
Brown admit that with this para
graph added, the verdict Is all that
the testimony justified.
