A Check For GSOO.

Ihere was once comedian who out
financed Edward E. Rice Startling as
the statement may seem, it is neverthe-
less true that when this farceur retired
from Mr.. Rice's company he owed the
manager 500. To Mr.. Rice the copdi-
ton was not alone unusual-it was also
irksoGe. One morning, when he was
fretting under it, he learned that the
actor had secured first rate engage
ment at large salary. He sat down
and wrote an urgent letter, finishing
with demand for an immediate remit
lance Of ga check for 70O." In due
course he received a communication By
mail containing heavy metallic disk.
The letter read:
Dear Ned-Yours received. Find
Enclosed, as requested, check for roo. -

JENNY LIMBS DEBUT.
Never Has Prima Donna So Charmed an
American Audience.

Never Has a Prima Donna So Charmed an
American Audience.
Hon. A. Oakley Hall writes of "When
Jenny Lind Sang In Castle Garden"
for The Ladies' Home Journal. Of her
first appearance-her first song-in
America and the unprecedented enthu-
siasm she aroused Mr.. Hall entertain
ingly and graphically writes: CLARK to
the voice! 1t is beginning the first bar
of 'Casta Diva from Norma. The 81
lence in the audience. is intense She
has sung only a few bars Of the match
less cavatina before all music lovers
recognize that while other artists have
endeavored to make something out of
'Casta Diva,' Jenny Lind is embodying
it. There is the gradual growth of Sos
tenuto, then rhythmic undulating, now
high notes, as triumphs of pure express
sion, and not of merely physical marvel,
and finally birdlike ecstasy Of trills Be-
fore her is an abyss Of hush, into which
she pours that voice, the very soul Of
song. She ceases, and timidly-not
proud]y-bows and is retiring when the
audience, not content with making the
usual American demand for an encore,
arises en- masse and repeats with four
fold energy and spirit the almost frantic
demonstration with which it greeted
Jenny Lind upon her entrance. The au-
dience is literally Wild Never has
singer SO stirred her listeners before. The
thunderous applause keeps up for many
minutes, until the audience seems ex-
hausted.
Trained musicians are praising the
fuency and precision Of Jenny's chro-
matte scales. One is emphasizing what
he terms the inspired vitality of Lind's
voice, and the unanimous verdict seems
to be that never were heard in concert
room sweeter tones. Even white haired
veterans, who have listened to Malibran
and her sister Viardot, Or to Grisi, or
to Adelaide Kemble, all pronounce Jen-
ny Lind the superior of those old time
song angels in realms consecrated by
Saint Cecilia"

AMERICANS AS MUSICIANS.
Mime. Calve Says They Have the Charac-

Mime. Calve Says They Have the Charac-
teristics of the Conquering Race.
Nine. Emma Calve contributes pa
per on the "Conquering Race In Music"
to The Ladies' Home Journal, in which
she specially addresses students of vocal
music She tells Of the training re-
CURED for the operatio and the concert
stage, the representation of character,
the value Of suggestions, ETC., and pays
this tribute to Americans: s'The Amer
leans have, it seems to me, in the field
Of music, and especially in the field of
vocal music, all of the characteristics
Of the conquering race They are pos
sessed naturally Of the most exquisite
voices, which, when properly cultivated
and trained, are almost unrivaled. They
have indomitable energy, perseverance
and pluck They stop at nothing and are
deferred by no trouble and prevented
by no obstacle.
poverty, WEAKNESS, exertion, hard
work-none of these living specters
which alright and terrify the average
art worker has terrors for them. Their
physique and their temperament seem
made for toll and to surmount discour-
agement, and the success which they
are daily achieving, in the field Of both
operatio and concert singing, is testimo-
ny to their natural fitness for accom-
plishment and to their ability to excel.
They seem, in fact, to be most lavishly
fitted by nature for the parts they are
assuming. To these gifts Of voice, ener-
gy, pluck and perseverance they fire.
quently add beauty of face and grace
of form and movement which the pub
lie recognizes as most important factors
in the success of the singers career.
They have, too, the temperament which
makes great artists and great actresses,
the artistic feeling which has for its
standard perfection and which is sat-
isfied with nothing less. %

TFor music. i

For music.
Fast falls the night, but not for thee
Twill fade like that of yesterday.
When once again along the lea
The timorous glints of morning stray,
Thou wilt have passed to fields unseen,
To meadows OF perennial May.
Where never veers the vernal green
Nor fleet the vernal flowers away.
# e'er think of thee as gone,
: If e'er I dream of thee as sped,
Twill only be in winter wan,
When leaves lie lorn and flowers have He'd
But when anew the sun has shone
Its welcome to the world of spring
Still by my side thou'lt wander on
As though thou meier hadst taken wing.
Still beneath days dilating beams
Greet each new flower that May unfurls,
Still mix thy murmur with the streams
And blend thy music with the merle's.
Then, as in vespertinal dreams,
The suns tired rays receding slant,
Seek, as Of old, the wood where teens
The nightingale's awaking chant.
Fast falls the night. will not weep.
All, no! Not tears shall be thy dover
To carry through the folds Of sleep
Into the cline of leaf and fowerl
Fast falls the night. More dark, more deep,
Each instant grows IFS eerie sway.
Farewell, farewell. will not weep,
But smile thee on thy journeys wayi

The case CT Eliza Cretzer alias Charles
Coffman, the deaf mute. charged with
grand larceny. was heard in the after
noon before Judge Rolapp. Cretzer. ii
Was alleged, stole q heifer from w "
Tracey, and sold il az q, butcher shop
IL the city As ne was deaf and dumb
the services of Professor Metcalf Of the
deaf and dumb school were brought
into requisition. Quite a number Of
nice legal points were raised in the
case Judge Bagley, the defendants
attorney. after the evidence for the
prosecution closed, moved for a dis
missal on the ground that the infor-
nation charged the defendant with
stealing a heifer, whereas the testi-
mony went tc show that the animal
was a calf. A heifer is one of the ami
mails mentioned IN the statute. but a
calf is not named. The main contention
WAS over the meaning of the words calf
and heifer and whether the latter could
be applied to a calf
Judge Rolapp oVerruled the motion
and the trial proceeded. Cretzer's story
was related with much detail and was
TO The effect that another man had
given him the animal to sell, which he
did and divided the proceeds With the
other fellow He changed his name to
Coffman because the other fellow told
him the calf was sick and that he
might be arrested for offering for sale
a sick animal.
The jury brought in a. verdict Of
guilty. and word was received soon af-
forwards from the sheriff at Pueblo,
Colo. TO the effect that Cofman was
wanted there Tor grand larceny. He

Two Fires.

grocery store of Ezra Richardson on
Twenty fourth street Two alarms
were sent in at precisely the same mo-
