Rennenyi.

Having heard Remenyi at Turner Hall
Aonda y night no one whose IL, .ings re-
sponded in any considerable uegree to
the beauty and grandeur of music could
fail to appreciate the fact tha at he had
listened to one of the great masters. AS
the wonderful violinist stepped upon the
platform the audience was charmed with
the good nature which beamed in his coun-
tenance. At the first stroke of the bow,
handled with an agility and deftness of
touch that is remarkable, their attention
was riveted. Rapturous delight followed
and when the genius Of the man finally
broke forth in some of the grand strains
Of List ana Chopin, the people were
simply carried away with wild applause.
There is no use III trying to describe it.
Technical art may be delineated in words,
but genius never. 1t is too grand too
much crowded in brief space of time.
It comes from the soul and not from the
trained schools of art. And the playing
of Remenyi is the tiddlins of a genius,
combined with the highest art.
But while the audience saw only Re-
menyi as the central figure of the COM
pany they were lot lacking in apprecia-
ton of the merit of the other members.
Mile. Roman is pianist of rare abil-
ity and the superior of any who has ev=

White II Caps
at Sleepy Eye.
Geo. 3. Peck, a Young Man, is Shot b.
Masked Marau lers.
BE Beats off His Assailants and Escapes
With an Arm Wound.
IT is Alleged that as Usual Woman is at
the Bottom Of the Trouble.

A special to the Sunday Minneapolis
Times from Sleepy Eye reads as follows:
An unsuccessful demonstration by an
amateur band of white caps occurred in
the town of Leavenworth, 10 miles south
of here, at II o'clock last night. George
H. Peck, residing with Malcolm Smith,
gained the enmity of certain parties over
a married woman, and was warned three
weeks ago to leave the country. Last
night five men, wearing masks and armed
with revolvers, entered Smiths house
and made for Peck, who attempted to
defend himself and was shotin the left
arm. The 'caps then tried to get Peck
out of the house, but he made SC good a
fight that they were beaten off. Peck
this evening swore out warrants for the
arrest of William Carpenter, we'll
known farmer, as the man who shot him,
and the officers are now out after him.
The identity of the other men is known.
Sensations are promised, for it is said
there's woman IN the case.
The Base Ball Club intend to change
the grounds at the Driving Park so as to
bring the pitchers box and home plate
directly in line with the grand stand and
give the spectators the best possible view
of the games. Wire netting will be
strung directly in front of the grand
stand.
The Womans Literary Club met with
Mrs. Mowery yerterday afternoon. Roll.
call was answered with quotations from
Hawthorne and the following papers
we're read; Sketch of Hawthorne, Mrs.
Laudenschlaiger; Heidegger's Expert
ment, Mrs. Webber; The Duty of Own
ing Books, Miss Pfaender; Melancholy
and Mischief making the result of Idle
ness, Mrs. Lind. The club will meet
with Mrs. Lind next Tuesday.
Yesterday morning there occurred in
st. Peter the marriage of Frank Leibold
and Mrs. Hermann of this city. The con-
tracing parties are well-known here, the
groom being one of our oldest and lead
ing BARRIERS and the bride the daughter
Of John Doster. The Review heartily
congratulates them on their union and
knows that the feeling of the entire COM
munity is best expressed in wish for
their long and continued welfare.

The last continued for several weeks and
finally ended in death.
Mrs. Hanft was born in Hagen, Germa-

ANCHOR ATHLETES HAVE A STAG
Henkei's Casino the Scene OF Mach
Gaiety Last Night.

The Anchor Athletic Club held a stag
last night at Henkel's Casino, which
proved to be a jolly event. The pro-
gramne was long and varied and unex-
ceptional in every particular.
The entertainment began with a bari
tone solo by Gus Disque, followed by
selections by a musical trio. The next
interesting feature was a boxing bout
between Coolihan and McCabe Of the
Olympic Athletic Club. Both were good
hitters and evenly matched. The Hill
side Quartette, c.. Roder, e. Smith, S.
Blanche, and G. G~randger, sang, as did
also the East Sade Quartette. Both
quartettes won much applause. A tug
of-war between teams of the Anchor and
Rosebud Athletic Clubs was decided in
favor of the former, after which there
was vocal solos by Harkel and Mr..
Tenier.
The most pleasing feature of the whole
affair. especially to Mr.. Charles Bennett,
Captain of the Anchor Club, was the
in appreciation Of his five years service
as Captain. The presentation was made
by the President of the Club, Mr.. John
Lippett, the recipient making a fitting
response.
There being plenty of volunteer talent
at hand, instrumental music, singing,
Rotations, storytelling, etc., filled in
the time and for several hours the fun
was fast and furious" The festivities
in this manner were prolonged until long
past midnight.

FALSE PRINCIPLES.
Cardinal Gibbons Writes
Denouncing the A.P.A.
Movement.
CATHOLICS HAVE RIGHTS TOO
The Duty Of Both Political Parties
Is to Oppose Un-Ameri-
can Ideas.
CATHOLICS HAVE RIGHTS TOO

The members of a Young Mems Roman
Catholic association in this State a few
days ago wrote to Cardinal Gibbons ask
irg MIN for his views on the A.. r. A..
question. This emirence sent a reply to
Rev DR.. Stafford, of st. Patrick's
Church, Washington, and this is what he
said
1t is the duty of the leaders of politi-
cal parties to express themselves with
out n equivocation on the principles of
religious freedom which underlie our
Constitution.
Catholics are devoted to both the
great political parties Of the country, and
each individual is left entirely to his own
conscience. We are proud to say that
in the long history at the Government of
the United States the Great Catholic
Church has never used or perverted its
acknowledged power by seeking to make
politics subserve its own advancement.
moreover, It is our broad boast that
We have never inlterfered with the civil
and political rights of amy who differ
same rights for. ourselves and nothing
less.
mot only is it the duty of all parties
q stfnctly 10 set their faces against the
false and .un-American principles thrust
forward Of late, but, much as l would
regret the entire Identification of any re.
ligious body as such with any political
party, l am convinced that the members
of a religious body whose rights, civil
ard religious, are attacked. will naturally
and unanimously espouse the cause. of the
party which has the courage openly to
avow the principles of the civil and reli-
gious liberty according to the Constitu-
the only virtue. When pushed too far
it MAY degenerate into pusillanimity."

PoLIoEMEN's BICYCLE RACE.
HOW Members Will BE Chosen for
the Wheeling Squad.

The Police Commissioners held a secret
session last night which lasted several
hours. The Commissioners erd2eavored to
fix up their list of appropriations, but
they were unable to agree upon certain
matters. One more effort will be made to
have an appropriation set aside for the in
crease of the force. Mayor Wanser has,
however, instructed the members of the
various Boards to keep their appropria-
tons down, as a reduction Of the tax rate
is to be made if possible.
One thing is sure, n that is a bicycle
squad. An the. Commissioners favor such
a squad. and it is believed very effective
service can be done by the mounted men.
The squad will consist of six men and
perhaps more. The Commissioners are al
ready being besieged by Representatives
Of the many bicycle concerns, all of which
are anxious to capture the order for
wheels There are about fifty mel on the
force. who are candidates for the wheeling
squad, Many Of the eoppers are already
IN training, and It Is possible in selecting
the men for the squad the Commission
ers will arrange a race between the as
pirants and appoint the six who cover the
distance in the best time.

PAVED CONTRARY TO LAW.
AsphaItum Worth $4,000 Mt Long
Branch Declared Laid Illegally.

s@cesdt q nc JcTScy Gag Nelts-
LONG BRANCH, Tune 10, 1S96.-The
Supreme Count has declared the law un-
constitutional under which $4,000 worth
of asphalt was laid in this city five years
ago.
Last fall three property owners ON
North Broadway. E. E. Dofins, of Phil
adelphia; ex-Mayor Nathan Barnert. Of
Paterson, and Thomas T. Kinney, of New
ark, certioraried the city on the grounds
that the law was unconstitutional under
which the asphalt was laid i'm Broadway.
Counsel was employed to carry the mat
ter to the Supreme Court for an opinion.
According to the decision the asphalt in
Long Branch, six miles in all, was laid
under two distinct laws.
The last law has been declared uncon-
stitutional, which means tina the city is
liable for whatever amount the property
owners have paid in on the line Of the
street affected.
