Another Prodigy

To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: The latest London musical pa
pers give an account of several "prodi-
gies" on the piano and other instru-
ments. The most recent one Is little
Miss Mustard. who is years old, but
should Judge that she will not compare
with Los Angeles little Paloma
Schramm. Here Is what one Of the
leading musical London journals says
Of little Miss Mustard:
Miss Muriel Mustard, yet another ju-
venile prodigy pianist, aged 9, gave a
recital at st. James's hall on Tuesday
afternoon. The child fairly astonished
her hearers in Beethovens early Soma
ia in c Minor OPP. 10, No. /; Chopin's
'Nocturne in B Major"-not one Of the
most interesting Of the series-and in
various other items. Her touch and ex-
ecution are both pure, and, what is more,
the little player seems to have an innate
perception Of the music she Is interpret
ing. All the more reason, therefore, for
careful nurturing of her talents with
out forcing"
The above criticism makes me think
of our little musical genius here, who
appears at Simpson tabernacle tomor-
row night-only there is this difference:
The little Mustard seems a talented
musical child, while Paloma Schramm
IL musical genius, who manifested her
powers at 2, sang or composed at 4, and
at 8 was an accomplished pianist.

lady Is a niece of Hodson and Is we'll ac-
quainted with his appearance. She was
shown the photograph and at once de-
clared that 1t was likeness of her
uncle. Her husband also corroborated
her in this opinion. They discussed the
numerous points Of similarity and, like
the others, agreed in the opinion that
their relative had been murdered. Mrs.
Lemuel Worrel, sister of Hodson,
would not admit that the picture was
that of her brother, although she ac-
knowledged that the resemblance was
striking. She will go to Riverside today
and view the remains. The facts of Hod-
sons abrupt departure from Kansas
were learned from his relatives at Co.
VIVA. 1t Is well that the body was not
inferred by the Riverside authorities, as
the relatives Of Hodson may be able to
successfully identify the man and settle
any doubts.
Taken In all its phases, the affair pre-
sents a most mysterious aspect. The
murderers must have had some motive
in putting old clothes on man who was
Of some refinement, and the most rea-
sonable explanation Is in the fact that
they desired to conceal his identity and
took this means Of bewildering the Of
ficers and throwing them off the right
track. by having 1t seem as If the mur-
dered man had been tramp. Why this
was done will probably form an import
ant part in the story of the crime, as 1t
would indicate that something more
than money led to the deed.

Insufhciency Of Some Fundamental Of
Physicist. John Day
The regular monthly meeting Of the
Academy of Sciences was held last eve
ming In the Owens block, 33O1s South
Broadway, with a representative at
tendance present and President William
A. Spalding in the chair. In little pre-
liminary business, the bylaws of the
society were amended whereby the men,
bership fee Is 81 and the annual dues to
the academy are IS, which admits MEM
bers to the academy and to any and all
Of its sections. Two new members were
admitted by vote.
St John v. Day presented the paper
Of the evening, which was illustrated
by lantern slides and dealt with 1.-THE
Insuff1ciency Of Some Fundamental of
Physics" Mr.. Day referred to the ply
steal Fundamental which, although often
far from true, were the only tools with
which physicists have to work. AL
though the tools may be imperfect, yet
their improvement will certainly in the
near future bring about considerable
revision Of the physical conclusions de-
rived from the work of the past.

WHISKY PRODUCTION
Won't Be Restricted by the Kentuck.
Association

LOUISVILLE. KY, Dec. 14.-The at
tempt of the Kentucky Distillers' As
sociation to secure an agreement to re-
strict the production to 100000 Of 20,
900. 900 gallons in 1898 is a failure. The
Secretary has received less than q dozen
answers to the invitation to sign the
contract, and is very blue, as the stock
.ow on hand is sufficient for four years
consumption and much Is selling below
the cost of production. Some Of the best
brands, distilled in 1892 and 1893, are
selling at from Is to 80 cents gallon, in
addition to the tax. and the distillers are
now trying to produce an article at It
cents a gallon, which further democrat
ICES the trade. Distilleries with ca
pacity Of $4,000 gallons daily will be in
operation in this city on january /, and
others are preparing to start up all over
the State. Should the production run
as high as 25.000,000 or 10000. 900 gallons
1t win add immensely to the embarrass-
ment Of the trade.
