soUsA TRIPLE NUMBER
One of the Gems of Yesterdays Sci
bert Concert.


1t is really a sad commentary on the
musical taste of the people of st. Paul
that so good concert as that rendered
by Seibert's orchestra at Conoyer hall
yesterday should have passed by with
so slim an attendance. The commen-
tary is all the more aggrayating that
Minneapolis audience in attendance
upon a Sunday afternoon concert out
numbers the st. Paul audience five to
one. 1t Is no uncommon thing to see
1,2G0 people crowded into Harmonic
hall Of a Sunday afternoon III the Flour
city, and not only in numbers does
the Minneapolis audience Outnumber
that of ST Paul. but it outranks it in
enthusiasm and surpasses it in intelli-
gent discrimination, It should not BE-
so. There is no good reason for the
fact, but it exists. The two orches-
tras are very evenly mated. Many of
the finest players in one organization
are to be seen on alternate Sundays
in the other. They play much the same
music, under much the same conditions,
and under two excellent leaders, but,
nevertheless, st. Paul people have not
awakened to a full realization of the
golden opportunity they have twice
each month to hear the best music
excellently rendered.
The audience which greeted Seiberts
OF chFStra Was about the average. but
did not fill the hall. The programme
was far superior to that of the preced-
ing concert, and, were it not for a
triple number by Sousa, which was
in seni-popular vein, the programme
was entirely devoted to classical
themes. The first number was the
tsMarche ct corte tege," from ''f4a
Refine de Saba, - by Gou-
nod, The march carries In 1t a
happy blending of military pornp and
swing with funereal and dirge-like
strain. which only adds to it's attiac-
tiveness. The execution was excel,

The second performance given by the
Athenaeum Theater company was pre-
sented to large audience at the Mo
zart hall last evening. The production
was the play presented in this city
some years ago by Robson ane Crane,
entitled Our Bachelors and tells the
story in comedy lines of how the prin-
cipals, each in turn, succumbed to the
wiles Of the fair sex, and finally enter
ed upon the matrimonial state The
piece is replete with possibilities for
amusing situations and laughable in
depreciation. which was fully appre-
clated by the cast and presented to the
best advantage. There was a finish
about the performance which denoted
careful preparation, and the frequent
applause of the audience was ample
evidence Of the merit OF the players
The stage settings were more extensive
than at theprevious performance of the
company, while the costumes were all
that was demanded. The music be-
tween the five acts was furnished by
Seiberts orchestra.

The three weeks sensation produced
in St Paul by the mystic work of Miss

for the last week by the rivalry Of the
Baldwins, so-called white Mahatmas, "
was brought to a thrilling climax last
night at Conover hall, when the police
had to be called in to prevent serious
trouble between the professional ri
yals
Baldwin it seems, secured two seats

which questions were written, leapel

One of the members Of the company,
who was passing the, boards, started
to call the disturber down, when Bald l.
win, who was seated further back in
the house. rose. and called out,
Let the man alone"
By this time Manager Pingree hal
reached the stage, and he at once
charged Baldwin with having inspired
the turbulence
Baldwin retorted that Pingree had
paid one of the local papers 90 cents a
line for scurrilous article in regard
to him, Baldwin. ..i1ae.
Pingree retorted that he had not paid
a cent and offered TO hang up $500 TO
establish that fact.
Meanwhile, the crowd was becoming
uproarious.
Some one shouted that Baldwin
ought to be ashamed to try to take the
bread out of a poor woman's mouth,
and other equally pointed remarks were
made.
Pingree told Baldwin that he should
be ashamed to try to break up per-
formance that way, and Baldwin re
joined that Pingree had done the same
thing with him at Haverhill, Mass,
once
The upshot of it all was that a po-
liceman was called in and removed
the original disturber from the hall
Baldwin was warned to Subside also,
and left the hall, after which the au-
dience regained a certain degree of
composure, and the tests were gone
ahead with as usual. While Miss Fay
was evidently somewhat excited by the
incident, her tests were seemingly as
effective as usual in mystifying the
spectators and auditors.

cruiser brooklyn or, as she has been
more appropriately dubbed, the "Greater
New York" returned triumphant to her
dock at Cramps ship yard this after
noon. Her journey up the Delaware
river from the capes was almost one
continuous ovation; every craft or
factory with whistle attached ssluted
the queen of fighting cruisers as she
passed and flags were dipped repeat
eddy.
The most conspicuous objects about
the Brooklyn as she steamed up the
river were the numerals, "2I. or"
psinted In white on each side of the
central smoke stack. These figures
told TO the passing craft the story of
yesterdaY's successful speed test.
The Brooklyn has been designed as
more effective ship than the New York,
being longer. heavier and possessed of
supposed greater fighting qualities,
Although the speed called for is the
same, many OF those on board are con-
fdens that she will, on her official test,
accomplish twenty-five knots, or one
knot more than the New York.
