to say the least, it is an excellent show.

RUBENSTEIN QUARTETTE CON-
CERT.
Louise Callahan o'Neil, who appears at
the recital given by the Rubinstein
String Quartette at Kotzschmar Hall Ia
said to be most delightful reader. Her
rendering ofthe masterpiece, "How Sal
vator Won," was among her selections
when she last appeared in Augusta and
commanded great admiration. She en-
joys the distinction of being selected to
read the poem written by Julia Harris
May at the State fair in Lewiston recent
~, which certainly was no small honor.
The Rubinstein String Quartette will
| make its bow on this occasion, and great
pleasure is anticipated from their per-
| formance. Mr.. Carl Osterberg, 'cellist.
has appeared before many of the most
fashionable tea parties and musioales
given in New York and Boston, and his
appearance at the Wednesday afternoon
recitals will no doubt become as popular
here as in other cities. Tickets went on
sale at Cressey, Jones g Aliens yesterday
morning.
THE STAR COURSE.
The Second entertainment in the Star
Course was given at the Auditorium last
evening and consisted of selections from
Ian MaoLaren's stories, illustrated by Mr..
Albert Armstrong, who has recently re-
turned from Scotland, and brief piano
recital by Mr.. Alvah Glover. Salmon, di-
rector of the Boston Training School for
Music.
Mr.. EArmstrong is thorough artist,
in perfect touch with his author. His
stereopticon pictures were excellent and
handled in perfect accord with the speak
er, whose ROTATIONS showed no little clio
cutionary skill. The pictures afforded
great pleasure to thel audience. MI
Salmon lent pleasant variety to the en-
tertainment by his piano selections which
were played with unexceptionable techni-
que and fine expression. Mr.. Armstrong;
ROTATIONS of beside the Bonnie Brier
Bush," ana "Auld Lang Syne,' were
particularly effective. The great draw
back to the perfect enjoyment of every
one was the great size Of the Auditorium,
the entertainment being one that requires
close communion of the friends of the
author of the delightful Scotch sketches,
and proper medium for the best display
of the skill of both elooutionist and
pianist.

with John Shook. On one of his trips not
long ago the ex-Presdent was told by the
farmer that he would probably not be al

he would have to go away. Questioned by
Mr.. Cleveland, the farmer told how the old

PITTSBURG, Feb. 16.-Von der Abe is

offer of the league msgnates to get him out
of limbo had string to it. There are re-
ports being circulated that the league, in
consideration for ITS coming to Won der

man should renew the offer he made some
time ago to sell the franchise of the

not be vouched for. but there is n decided
hitch in the proceedings somewhere. Presi-
dent Watkins was notified yesterday by
National President Young to secure Won der

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Its Ratification Opposed by the Ven
cradle Senator Morrill,.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Morrill,
of Vermont, occupied the entire time of the
executive session of the Senate to-day with
a speech opposing the ratification of the
Hawaiian annexation treaty The speech
was intended TO show that the acquisition
of the Hawaiian islands would be against
both good policy and the traditions of this
country. He had always stood against the
acquisition of distant lands and was still
opposed to that policy as one calculated to
undermine the integrity of the Republic,
Mr.. Merrill took up most of the questions
which have been discussed in connection
with the treaty. dealing especially with the
subjects of the strategic Importance of the
islands TO the United States. with their
commerce, their population and with the
difficulty of assimilatng them so as to rem
of the United States. He said that, COM
mercially, Hawaii's Importance had been
vastly Overrated and cOntended that annex
alton would result in the inevitable destruc-
ton of the beet-sugar industry of the United
States. because of the inability of American
labor TO compete with the Coolie labor en-
poyed on the Hawaiian sugar plantations
From military point of view, he argued
that the control of Hawaii would be
source of weakness rather than of strength.
because 4 navy would be required for its
defense In time war. while in time of peace
we should not need the islands on this ac-
count Mr.. Morrill, quoted. with especial
emphasis. letter from Daniel Webster,
dat ted in 1913, advising the maintenance of
the independence Of the islands. and closed
with an appeal 10 the people Of the United

VIEWS OF a SHIP BUILDER.
Irving VI. scott Tells How the ExpI0-
sion Wight HIVE Occurred.

SAN FRANCISCO Feb 16. = Irving NJ
Scott, vice president and general manager
OF the Union iron works. of this city which
built the battle ship Oregon. on learning
Of the loss of the Maine, said: There are
several conditions which may have oc-
Cured any of which might account for the
destruction of the vessel. For instance,
ire in the coal bunkers where they abut-
ted against the magazine might have heat
ed the partitions sufficiently to explode the
powder in the magazine. That the eXplo-
sion was not in the boiler room is evident
for the ship was at rest and all her steam
ing capacity was therefore under full con-
troll. 1t might have occurred in the for
ward torpedo tube compartment That
would. readily account for the sinking Of
the vessel. A torpedo fastened underneath
her bottom might have caused the same re-
suits, and while it is natural, under the
existing condition of affairs between this
country and Spain. that some enthusiastic
Spaniard. out of spite. might have caused
il. or that some equally enthusiastic rebel,
with an idea of aggravating the re-
lations between Spain and America might
have done it, yet the very meager reports
50 far received and the specific request of
her commander that Judgment be suspended
indicate that the calamity was due to some
utterly unforeseen accident on board the
shin herself"

SCENES In HAVANA.
Picture of the Awful Distress Among

extract from a private letter from a lady

city and shows the need of contributions
for their relief: This morning I went to
help distribute food and clothing to some
of the reconcentrados in an old warehouse,

and quite unnerved me for the day. In the

only one meal the day before, of soup made

AGAINST Mr.. TlMMONDS.
Decision OF the Federal Court In an
"Overtime" Case.

CHICAGO. Feb. 16.-The decision of the
lower court in the case of Richard II. Tim
monds against the United States govern
ment was affirmed to-day by an opinion
handed down by the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals. In 1895 Timmonds began
suit in the United States courts at Indian
apols to secure pay for overtime while
in the employ of the government From
1866 to 1887 he maintained he had been en-
ployed as stationary engineer at the Jeffer-
son depot, quartermaster's department.
During that time he received from $50 to
1925 month. He maintained in his bill
that he was compelled to work twelve hours
a day when the law only required eight
He was discharged in 1887. but was again
employed in the same position from 1889 to
1893, when he was again discharged The
case was heard in Indianapolis before Judge
Baker who decided that Tmmonds was
working by the month, and as the extra
work he put in was voluntary he could not
collect for the extra four hours day. The
Court of Appeals in its opinion stated that
the case was different from that of a let
ter carrier. as there is an act which ex-
pressIy states that all letter carriers shall
receive pay for extra work.
