foremost female virtuoso in the world.
Huberman Is remarkable not only for his
technique, his perfect command of himself
and his violin. but for the breadth of his
musical intelligence and his power of inter-
probation. He stands before his audience

black hair, rebellious of systematic ar

matured musician. His bowling is firm and
graceful, his tone full and true and his ex-
ecutfon remarkable in every respect. His
opening number, Bruch's G Minor Concer-
TO- was performed in mastery manner,
ana stamped the boy at the outset as justi-
lying all the praise that had been bestowed
on MS playing elsewhere. In the Wagner

Broke Windows.

Palmer Cox was in evidence today in the
Police Court. or at least the spectators
thought that his familiar character, the
fat Brownie, had suddenly appeared when
Frank Anikim was arraigned for destroy
ing private property. This impression was
strengthened nightly when the clerk cali
ed ''P. Cox to summon the policeman who
made the arrest.
The supposed Brownie was a white boy
and the specific charge against him was
smashing a glass in the door of Moy Sing s
laundry, on H street. Some thought that
the window might have been broken dur
ing one of the charao teristic midnight
rerels of the boisterous Brownie band, but
several witnesses testified that the de-
fendant was alone at the time of the oc-
curreTce and that the glass was broken
by stone thrown by him.
Five dollars fine ruled the court, and
The Star reporter looked up half expecting
to see all the Brownies pour in through the
dcorways and windows to rescue their
comrade. The fine was promptly paid,
however, SO an onslaught was unneces-

Bicycle Scorchers Arrested,

All conditions yesterday were favorable
for bicycle riding, and probably every per-
son in this vicinity who owns or was able
to hire wheel went out for a spin. Ac-
cording to the members of the police bicy-
Gle squad the greater portion of the riding
was done outside the city limits. How
ever. the following carelessly exceeded the
speed limits and were arrested for scorch-
ing: John L. Ferber Henry Purcell, Harry
c. Eddy, Walter l.. Scott, Joseph W. Cone
and Andrew Rollins. Walter Spencer.
James Jones and George w. Stone rode
after dark without displaying suitable
light, and they, too, suffered the ignomny
OF arrest. Charles Streeks had no hell
on his wheel and his experience with the
police was similar to that of the others.
When the cases were called for trial
today i'm the Police Court all the parties
mentioned forfeited collateral.

LEPERS IN NEW YORK.

Noted Physician Says It Exists In soci.
ETY. Circles.
DR.. Albert S. Ashmead, of New
York, says there are lepers in that
city "very close to the Four Hun
dred." He says that leprosy is
not due to filth, and points out
that leprosy spreads in japan
where the commonest coolie takes
his daily bath. He contends that
it is contagious and not heredi
tary, and alleges that isolation and
sanitary government of the
leper's family (including alb
stention from the COM
mon spoon and bowl, same beds,
and absolute separation from bod
lily contact of children and grand
children from leprous father OF
mother and grandparents) have
prevented the transmissions of the
disease to children or grandchil-
dren. He adds, however, that lit
is spread by the contact of the
mucus of the mouth, for instance,
bacillus charged, with the same
spoon. The bacillus cares not
either for filth or cleanliness; he
wants only an entrance through
broken skin or mucus."
