AxEL FRANckE's CONCERT.
Nine, Agnes staberg-HaIl of New York
Was the Principal SoIoist.

There was a large audience at Me
chanics Hail. Thursday evening, when
Mr.. Axel Francke, OF ganist of the Salem
Street Swedish Congregational Church,
gave a concert, assisted by soloists and
a chorus of a hundred voices, which he
himself had trained Mr.. Francke ap-
peared in the double role of conductor
and bass soloist. The principal star
was Mrs. Agnes Staberg-Hall of New
York a pretty SWede with a pretty
voice, Dramatically and musically she
is immature for such a piece as Elsa s
dream, but it must be said that she APP
peared to much greater advantage in
the '"Traviata" aria and better still in
Helene MmktelPs Swedish lullaby,
which she sang as an encore. In this
she gave some very pure tones, and
sang with sweetness. Her other encore
was the mad scene from Arrigo Boito's
"Mefistofele." She was literally APP
plauded. Fred d. Valva, who played
twice, is perhaps as promising young
violinist as there is in town. Mr.. Grout
played the "William Tell" overture, an
offertory by Batiste and the "Tannhau-
SER march. Miss Lydia Person played
piano medley of Swedish airs. The
Swedish chorus gave a very musical
tone, and there was spirit in the sing
ing. The fair-haired, fair-faced and
light-dressed girls made a bright stage
picture. There was much applause
throughout the evening

MILITARY AFFAIRS.
Discussion of Bill to Reduce the Rank of
Members of Governors Staff.


Members of Governors Staff
The committee on military affairs this
morning gave hearing on several bills
regarding the militia. There was a
hearing on a bill to reduce the rank of
members of the governors staff, so
that after the present incumbents re-
tire the staff shall consist of an adju-
tant general with the rank Of brigadier
general, ex-officio chief of staff; an in
spector general, quartermaster general,
commissary general, surgeon general
and judge advocate, each with rank of
colonel; four aides-de-camp, with rank
of captain, and such additional officers
of the staff as the public service may
require, with rank not higher than that
of major
This was a bill of Senator Bouve, who
supported the bill, and Gen. Dalton and
Gen. T. r. Mathews also thought it was
a good thing.
Gen. Bancroft said the staff was a
good thing to provide a place for pro-
motion for sons of the men in the serv-
ice. Personally he took little interest in
the reduction of rank The staff ought
to be of some use in case of need but
he did not see that it was of any great
use. But he thought 1t was a matter
for the governor, and if the governor
meant business, let him take military
men for his staff. He thought Gov. VOL
colt had got a good staff and efficient
body, and he did not take them about

LABOR HEARING.
Manufacturers Appear Before the Legis-
ature Committee.

Boston, Feb 24.--In order to hear the
manufacturers and mill men, the joint
commission on labor of the legislature
sat in the state house today to continue
its hearing on the investigation as to
the causes. of the reduction of wages in
New Bedford. Fall River ana other tex
tile cities.
Joseph Baker of the Chase mills, Fall
River, said that the rate of taxation
paid by the mills in Massachusetts was
very much higher than that Of other
states.
John d. Flint, a director in six Fall
River mills said Is mills in Fall River
are losing money.
Representative Garrity OF the commit
tee asked if the mill men were in busi-
ness for their health, and Mr. Flint said
mo; they put money in the mills when
times were good" The witness was
questioned sharply when he stated that
money was hired to pay dividends
When asked at wnat rate ne would loan
money for this purpose, Mr.. Flint said
per cent; and when one of the COM
mittee inquired If he thought it was
good business policy to loan money to
corporation that is not making money,
to keep the stockholders from kicking,
replied: Lending money in that way is
frequently done"
When the committee adjourned, it was
to meet in city hall, Lawrence, Wednes-

THE MILLER SUSPECTS.
Pennsylvania Captive Not the Man
Wanted-The Cape Breton Case.

State Detective P. f. Murray re-
ceived a photograph Thursday of the
man held at Lansford, Pa, under sus-
picion of being the Brookfield murderer.
Mr.. Murray is satisfied that he is not
the man wanted. Deputy Sheriff Tar
bell of Brookfield was in town Thurs
day afternoon, and says there Is but
slight resemblance. He took the picture
back to Brookfield with him to show to
some of the people who were well ac-
quainted with the murderer.
The description of the man is very
similar in many respects; but he has
some characteristics that are very diff
ferent. The most noticeable is his dis
position to talk freely on any subject
If he can get any one to converse with
him. while Miller is known to have been
very reticent. The man held at Lans-
ford has a large wart three -fourths of
an inch long on his left hand.
Nothing has been heard from the Sgd
ney Cape Breton) suspect. Detective
Murray has telegraphed for a detailed
description of this man as well as a
photograph, but does not expect to hear
anything from his dispatch for several
days.

The net assets of the Connecticut Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company, according
to the fifty-second annual statement. pub
lished today, increased during 1897 nearly
$500000. There were about $6,400,000 paid
out to policy holders, while the total ex-
penditures reached about S7,540,000. On
Jan. l. 1898, the gross assets were, in
round numbers, $63, $4,000, and the sur
plus 1861, 900. The exact figures may be
found in the statement It is indeed
gratifying to know that the company is
progressing so splendidly, but no other re
suit could have been possible under the
recognized superior business policy of the
company, which is to avoid all that looks
to racing or rapid growth and enormous
size at fearful cost. 1t is a company for
the individual member, not for the ac-
emulation of vast surplus by the ex-
actions of premiums disproportioned to
the wise and prudent administration of
affairs. 1t will well repay you TO read the
statement and mark its strong features.

with him on social occasions He
thought if a governor were going to
take any staff with him on social occa-
sions they should wear dress suits and
not uniforms.
He added that the staff was good
asylum for deserving officers. There
was no reason why the staff officers
should have any rank at all. The staff
officer simply voiced the views of his
commander. The adjutant general might
as well be lieutenant colonel so far as
the rank went He was simply voice
for the commander-in-chief.
He commented upon the grades Of
rank employed in Europe, citing the
ranks of field marshals and some others
and said that Massachusetts had by no
means gotten into the upper ether yet
He did not think it was good thing
however to be changing the militia law
all the time. He quoted Col Edmands
as criticising the constant changing of
the militia law in the following couplet:
Tinker, tinker, little law,
How l wonder what you are"
Gen. Mathews favored the bill for a
seven days tour of duty in camp for
militia, instead of five. He said 1t would
increase the efficiency of the militia.
Gen. Dalton was inclined to favor,
and said it would cost about $4,000 ad-
ditional to the sum now required

Common Carrier Rights.


Boston, Feb. 24.-The street railway
committee. gave a hearing today on the
petition of G. Henry Whitcomb and
others of Worcester that the Worcester
and Marlboro Street Railway Company
may act as a common carrier of
freight and small parcels. Representa-
tive Allen of Shrewsbury said that the
people of that section need very much
that the privilege be granted Shrews-
bury lies so high that 1t cannot have
any steam roads, and it will be bene-
fitted by the electric road more than
any other place on the line. He did not
object to a limitation on the weight of
the parcels to be carried, and on the
time Of day when they may be carried
He would agree TO two-thirds | opular
vote on the bill. Other people from the
locality were introduced to favor the
bill, and it was also favored by Richard
M. Saltonstall, the counsel of the road.
There was no opposition to the petition
on the Worcester and Marlboro, for the
road itself took no attitude, either for
or against.
The street railway committee will
give a hearing next Wednesday to the
Grafton and Upton railroad, which op-
poses the petition for the Incorporation
of the Worcester, Milford, AttIeboro
and WoonSocket railway.

Only $4,000 Now Remains to Be Paid
In Monday Is h Last Day.
Ten Per Cent. Will
Be Added.

The office Of County Treasurer Halla-
office in Anaconda yesterday. The arti-
Gle which appeared in the Standard yes
terday morning. calling attention to
the fact hat the time for the payment
OF taxes Ia limited to a day or two.
brought out large numbers of people
who were anxious TO pay their taxes
County Treasurer Hallahan announced
last evening hat he had never seen
such a large number of people anxious
to pay their taxes in one single day. The
Office was kept open last evening until
? o'clock. and a large number of people
took advantage OF that fac and thus
saved the penalty of the 10 per cent.
which VIII be added to all unpaid taxes
at 6 o'clock Monday evening.
on Friday evening. when Treasurer
Hallahan's Office was closed for the day,
there remained $4,000 of taxes which
were still unpaid. Yesterday $4,000 of
that amount was paid, which leaves
only s36. 200 yet unpaid.
The force Of clerks In the treasurer's
| Office was kept on the jump all day.
When it is considered that h $4,000
paid in yesterday was paid in sums
averaging about $40, IL can be well be-
lieved that the clerks had their hands
full.
Monday is the last day upon which the
taxes may be paid without the addition
of the penalty. At 8 o'clock Monday
| night all unpaid taxes become delin-
quent, and 10 per cent. of the total
amount of the taxes is then added as a
penalty. Persons who have taxes still
unpaid will be wise IL they pay them
on Monday.
