THE SCHUBERT CONCERT.

Quite a goodly number of people greet
house, last evening, to listen to the har-
monious music, such as comes only from a
male quartet. The music they rendered
was greatly enjoyed, and would have been
much better, had not the first tenor singer
been afflicted with a severe cold. 'Indeed
he was very hoarse." But, withal, every
one present was highly pleased with the
entertainment. The lady harpist vas very
good and her efforts were highly appre.
ciated.
the quartet by the Beethoven society at
the rooms Of Prof. j. A.. Hand, jr., was a
most enjoyable affair, and the Schuberts
proved themselves equally as harmonious
socially as unsteady. Delicious refresh
ments were served by Mrs. Hand. and the
company was treated to solos by Messrs.
Waite and Holiister, OF the Schubsrts
Master Arthur Hand and Miss Mary
Long, both pupils of Prof. Hand, also en-
tsrtained the assembly with selections on
the violin and piano respectively.
The Schuberts' visit in this city was in
deed a pleasant occasion to many Of the
music-loving people of Las Vegas.
There was never a more refined audi
ence in the Tamme opera house than was
there last evening, and many Of the ladies
removed their hats during the perform
ance. This shows that the best people are
the most thoughtful for the comfort of
others.
The Apollo club reserved and decorated
the right foyer in the opera house, last
evening, and filed the same with intelii-
gent, well-behaved young men.

the husbands singular methods Of

Doubt about it--and while she lay in

Few Hours Later.
"Who bids?'
The auotioneer held up child g
rocking horse, battered and stained. II
had belonged to some little member of
the mans family whose household
property was being sold under the ham
mer.
He was utterly ruined. He had given
mp everything In the world to his cred

goods and lands. He stood among the
crowd watching the sale that was scat
tering his household goods and his heir
looms among u hundred strange hands.
On his arm leaned woman. heavily
veiled.
"Who bidsp"
The auotioneer held the rocking horse
high, that 1t might be seen. Childish
hands had torn away the scanty name |;
the bride was twisted and worn by
tender little fingers. The crowd was
still.
The woman under the heavy veil
sobbed and stretched ont her hands.
"No, no, moi" she Dried.
The man q face was white with emo
ton. The little form that once no mer-
rily rode the old rocking horse had
drifted away into the world years ago.
This was the only relic left of his happy
infancy.
The auotioneer. with a queer mois-
ture in his eyes. handed the rocking
horse to the man without word, He
seized 1t with eager hands, and he and
the yelled woman hurried away.
The crowd murmured with sympathy.
The man and the woman went into
an empty room and set the rocking
horse down. He took out his knife,
ripped open the front Of the horse and
took out roll Of bills. He counted
them and said

Sir Henry Calcraft, who died the 9th

best known and most popular men In
the social life Of London. In q sketch
OF his career The st. James Gazette
says There was famous hangman Of
the name Of Caloraft, and Sir Henry
used to be jocularly known az the Hang
mana title he would laughingly ac-
cept. The position he held In public and
social life may not inaptly be Indicated
by recalling the circumstances that his
name was freely canvassed as that Of
Mr., Delane's successor in tho editorahip
Of The Times. He knew nothing Of jour
nnlism in Its praotioal aspects. but he
had AN nnrivaled knowledge Of the
men and affairs Of his time, and II was
this fact and the reputation he had nc
quired as man Of signal penetration
and soundness Of Judgment that led to
the association Of his name with the
editorship. Sir Henry had never dulled
the brightness OF his outlook ON life by
accepting the responsibilities Of matri-
mony. He was confirmed bachelor,
who retained to middle age the gayety

HE RANG UP ANOTHER.
A Sober Mans Funny Experience with .
Fare Register.

Sober Mans Funny Experience With .
Fare Register.
Sometimes things happen to men who
are perfectly sober. This one happened
on north bound Limits car.
The car was crowded, and when
Schiller street was reached, the lady who
sat just about amidships was unable to
attract the attention Of the conductor to
have him signal so she might get off.
Mr.. Sanborn is always gracious, al
ways suavs. always courteous He saw
beauty In distress. and he believed in
helping his neighbour. So he reached up
to the cord and rang the bell. OF course
1t was tho wrong cord, and the arrow
on the face of the cash register moved
mp from SO to SO.
1t Is not recorded that conductor
ever failed to notice it when this sort of
blunder occurred And so the conductor,
far away as he was, out Of sight of the
passengers signal, began to edge his
way forward through the crowd, venge-
anoe threatened by his manner
OF course the passengers Uttered, and
Mr.. Sanborn should have turned red
But he didn't
He awaited the approach of the col
lision with the same suavity. The lady
In whose behalf tho harm was done had
left him to his fate and was edging to
the front door as the car came to halt
"Who rang up that farer" demanded
the man with proper grievance.
"Idid, manfully replied the culprit.
He afterward avowed that he was ready
to plead guilty in any other language.
II. as he expected, the conductor might
not be fluent with English.
Tho representative OF corporations
lost no time. He expressed various
opinions, all tending to a harmony OF
result. Of the man who would do such

But Mr. Sanborn wasn't conductor

assailant.

for tho nickel that was due In return.
