sioner Carleton. accompanied by War
den Hodgkins, arrived Friday night, in
response to letter from Fred Bracket,
stating that Fred Cummings had shot
moose and the meat was In Mark Dud :
ley's house. Mr.. Bracket reiterated the
statements and Mr.. Carleton, who Wis
tied Mr.. Cummings. who works for Mr..
Dudley. They were convinced that the
story was a hoax gotten up for revenge
to injure Cummings and Dudley. These
latter gentlemen were SO incensed
against Bracket for making this charge
that they called on Mr.. Carleton and
swore to what they know about Brac-
kett's poaching. Two warrants wers
obtained against Bracket for shooting
four deer and batting bear traps with
them this summer. Bracket pleaded
guilty and was fined $40 and costs.

Much interest is being evinced in the
forthcoming concert OF the MetroDoll-
tan series which will be held at the
Academy Of Music next Monday evening.
Miss Adele Aus der Ohe who Will be the
bright particular star OF the combination
10 appear here, is no stranger in Rich
mond. She IS q pupil Of List, and 4
pianist Of the most astonishing powers.
Miss Aus der Ohe has achieved q world
wide reputation.
In the fortissimo passages she seems 10
cast or an her feminine characteristics
and plays with the strength OF man. in
her rendering OF loud and difficult rag
sages indeed, there is much 10 remind
one Of Paderewski. There is the same
firm. strong touch. absolute accuracy
and pearly clearness OF notes even in
the most rapid runs. But In the softer
passages Miss Aus der one becomes the
thorough woman again and no one after
hearing her play can deny that she is IL
master OF the limited range Of expression
10 which the piano is mechanically con-
fined. Miss Aus der Ohe viii bee supported
by Signora Montenore. dramatic soprano
and by Signor Francesca Giavini tenor.
