would the little Galcian pianist compare
with artists who have played since his ap-
pearance here? Were his continental and
European successes exaggerated? Had he
improved? The first thing you remark in
Rosenthal is his enormous self-possession.
His repose is magnificent. He accomplishes
without turning hair feats of technique
that are simply madGening. His wrists
traverse the key board as do the fingers of
great pianists Freedom, buoyancy, elasti
city and precision are all there. The touch
ranges from the crispiest staccato to most
luscious legato. The scales are true legato
scales. They are strings of brilliants, each

the color he suggests, or rather say the

Rosenthal is also a perfectionist.
He never makes the appeal popular: there
Is no overplus of sentiment, no mawkish

severity and sincerity informs his playing
1t is for pure beauty he strives. His in

distorted, sensational effects; yet, at every

new shades of meaning subtle tintings and

taking the place of the Rev. Father J.
H. Westman, who was sent to fill the

educated in st. Mary's Parochial School.
From there he went to st. Peters Col

st. Johns College, Fordham, N. T., for
about a year, and when graduating from
tina institution he received the degree OF

AUTHORITIES WERE PUZZLED

There is an epidemic of influenza among
the horses on Jersey City Heights ana
in lower Jersey City. The livery stable
keepers have been complaining bitterly
of late of a disease that has been play
ing havoc with the horses owned by them.
Veterinary surgeons from all over the
county were consulted, and for a time
were at a loss to locate the seat OF the
trouble. Horses were changed from one
stall to another, and the horses placed in
the vacated stalls soon became affected
with the same symptoms. Final Or.
Arrowsmith, Inspector of Horses in the
Fire Department and head of the Veter-
mary Hospital, was called in, and after
a careful examination pronounced the
disease influenza.
The horses in Ogden's express stable,
No. 46 Hoboken avenue, suffered more
than those in any other stable in the city
Fourteen out of thirty-eight horses have
died from the disease in the last week.
The employees at the stable blame the cpl
demic to the sick horses rubbing their
noses against the walls of their stalls IN
an effort to get relief n well horses
breathing the germs on being placed in
these stalls.
1t was at first thought that the epidemic
was caused by unsanitary conditions in
the stables. This was proven to be not
so. The stable of Mr.. Ogden was ex-
amined and found to be in excellent SAM
tary condition. Some years ago there was
a similar epidemic among horses in Jersey
City. Mr.. Ogden has twenty-seven more
horses ill with the disease in the veterin-
arY hospital.

TRADES UNIONS.
The State Labor Bureau Has
interesting Statistics to

Especial to "The Jersey city News."l

TRENTON, Jan. 81, 1S99.-Statistics
which win be published in the annual re-
port Of the State Labor Bureau show the
results Of some Investigations on new
lines. Among these are comparisons for
two periods, ten years apart, of the con-
ditions in a given number of establish
ments as to the total number employed,
male and female, above and below eigh-
teen years of age, and the total and
average weekly wages paid; also union
and n%on-union men as to steadiness of
employment and wages received.
In the glass, cigar and hat industries
the figures, so far as ascertained, show
that union men get better age and
lave steadier employment. 1t is the in
tention to make the investigation on these
lines considerably more extensive for next
year, report.
The comparisons are made from figures
furnished for 1886 and 1896 by seventy
seven different establishments. 1t Is
shown that in 1886 there were employed
in these establishments 1851 persons. who
received in wages for tina year 1913 ,27O.67,
or an average of $8.42 a week each. For
1896 the total number employed was 5,601;
total wages paid was SAT, 1876. rs, or an aver
age of $S.62 a week each, an increase Of
twenty cents a week in wages.
OF the total number of employees the
percentage of males in 1896 was 1890, and
Of females SOTO. In 1886 the male per-
centage was 52.17 and the female 47.S3.
While the 1896 figures show an increase
In the percentage of females employed,
they also show a decrease in the percent

age
The figures relative to union and non

as a basis of computation. In the glass
ware trade, which is said to be the best
paid in the country. the union men had
IN average of $5.95 for each day en-
ployed. The average yearly earning Of
the n%on-union men was S666.S or $685. for
each day actually employed. The great
advantage to the union men came in hav-
ing much steadier work and in producing
a larger quantity Of work in a given time.
The union men lost u 1-3 days in the year
and the non-union men 100. The produce

The figures for the cigarmakers show
the average yearly earnings to be $597.9 8
for union men and s251.74 for %non-union
men. Unlike the g~lassworkers, the nom
union cigarmakers produced the greatest
number of pieces in a given time. This,
Mr.. Morgan says, was because they made,
generally speaking, inferior goods and
used molds, while the union had to take
greater care and manufacture by hand.
The least disparity between union and
~non-union men was shown in the hat
trade, where the average yearly earnings
of the union men was $5OO.1 and of the
non-union men $435.SS
Taking the average yearly earnings in
the three trades, the figures presented by
the Labor Bureau show a percentage in
favor of the union men of 107.S7 in the
glass trade, 49, 6 in the cigar trade trade
and IA. 70 in the hat trade.
