STORIES OF RosENrHAL.

The marvellous Moritz Rosenthal, who has been capturing New York audiences at Carnegie hall, and whose playing is so highly eulogzed by all the big New York newspapers, has been pronounced by Europe's greatest critics as the most magnetic genius of the piano that the world has ever known. He is to appear in New Haven on Mon day evening next at the Hyperion the ater, and give our music lovers an op- portunity to be thrilled and delighted
 by a marvellous exhibition of his mas terly style. Rosenthal has certainly completely captured New York, Car
 negie hall being crowded at every per- formance.
 Rosenthal is great worshipper of Rubinstein. pleasant and humorous
 little story is the following, as told by
 Rosenthal himself: One afternoon, while in Italy, near Lake Como, Rubin stein sent me an invitation to visit him,
 an opportunity of which I was only too glad to avail myself. It was out of the season and the steamers had ceased to
 make their regular trips across the lake. where Rublnstein resided. It was in the rainy season, and the floods had spoiled travel. So, I decided to swim
 across the lake: this was no easy task,
 as it took two hours to do it. I put my clothes in a dilapidated little skiff, plunged in, and swan across to the op- pcste shore, pretty well exhausted and my garments dripping with water. I l jumped into cab, and, arriving at Rubinsteins villa, sent up my card. He received me with open arms, and when I related my adventure, he said: You are second Leander'; and I answered, You are my hero

Liszt en- dured his playing for his mothers sake 1 but at last he complained to me about it, and decided to rid the great mas | ter of the annoyance. This was a diff cult task. as the countess was very

 It would seem that company paying nearly third of the entire taxes of the state should equitably be placed, if it is legally possible under the present laws affecting the taxation of railroads, upon the same basis as other corpora tions paying taxes directly to the state. It should not be forgotten that the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, in the development of it's business, has latterly, under the somewhat harsh exactions of the pres ent laws, been constantly put to a vast increase in it's taxation owing to the large expenditures which it has made in the development of it's lines largely for the benefit of the public. This fact appears strikingly from the amounts of taxes paid by this company and it's leased lines for the last twelve years namely, from 1885 to 1897, both inclu- sive. The following figures speak for themselves:
