Amarillo, Tex, Feb. l0.-Snow has

Plains" in the early '7Os, was in the
city Il few days ago, and in conversa-
ton with yonr correspondent said that
this had been the coolest winter ever
known in the Panhandle since rs. The
heavy SHOWS which fell several weeks
ago partially thawed and then froze
again. forming a heavy cr.st OF ice
which entends over large areas in
Moore and Hartley counties, and which
is only slowly giving away. The loss

brought into headquarters and put on

AUSTRALIAN WHALING.

In 1885, the heydey of the whaling
trade, when the smoky glare OF the
whaleships' fireworks lighted up the
darkness of the ocean night, there were
forty-one vessels of total tonnage OF
9,257 tons, registered in New South
Wales, employed in the fishery. In the
same year twenty-five vessels arrived
ins Sydney from the various grounds,
their cargoes of whalebone, sealskins
and sperm and black oil valuing alto
gether about one hundred and fifty
thousand pounds Now the whaling
trade in southern seas is represented by
two or three small and poorly equipped
ships from Hobart, though the whales
sperm, right and humpback-are again
as plentiful as they were in the first
years of the fishery. One of the present
writer's, less than three years ago.
counted over three hundred hump
backs pass to the northward In two
days on the coast OF New South Wales,
while there were probably double that
number Of the swift and dangerous fin
back whales travelling with them.

RECENT EXCAVATIONS AT EPHn-


F. R. c. Hutton writes from the Hoo
tel Ephesus Ayasolouk, Asia Minor:
Travellers in the Levant think Of Eple-
sus as a place where there are many
associations, but little to see. But the
recent excavations by the Austrians
have altered all that, and as the work
is but little known take the liberty Of
writing to you on the subject. The
great theatre has been excavated the
whole of the columns of the proscenium
and the passage and ante-room walk OF
mosaic pavements have been opened
up, and work is going on still In the up
per portions Of the>theatre. In front IL
the street, with the marks of the char
lot wheels all along the pavements.
There is also the whole series of build
ings behind and underneath the gym
nasium, including some lovely marble
water troughs with oxen and oak
wreaths and some fine marble door
ways, all in stu. But perhaps the most
interesting thing is that which is now
being excavated-the lovely semi-circu-
lar marble portico with its steps, which
occupied the whole east side of the har-
Dor. What there is now is most beau
tiful and interesting. and each week
discloses something new. Perhaps to-
Christians there is the most interesting
thought that st. Paul landed at these
steps, and we can take our place with
him in the theatre. 1t is quite impossi-
BILE to do Justice to all the sights in q
morning, and visitors who wish to stay
longer will find Karponza, the landlord \
of the hotel, very obliging and intel
ligent man. and the accommodations

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-04-24

The concert tonight will practically be all
clear profit for the library fund. In the
recent dispute of Schubert club versus
Feldhauser ct al, 1t may be remembered
that Mr.. Richards Gordon pleasantly re-
marked that he thought Mr.. Feldhauser
had bitten off too much" and that he
for one expected to pay his share Of the
all previous instances. This season. how
ever, will show no deficit, and there will
be no guarantees to be paid. One bene-
fetal result of this series Of concerts is
the stimulus 1t has given to foca1 artists
there having been more effort in the d.
rection of recitals
Another point has been the increased
sympathy shown by the audience to the
performer. This was pointedly shown by
the reception of Emil Sauer and Mar
chest, both of these artists having MADE
the remark that they had never appear
ed before more enthusing and discrim-
mating audiences than in St. Paul
The Musical Record, In speaking Of the
present concert season in Chicago, says
that If accounts were made public the
large musical organizations of that city
would show discouraging deficit; that
none Of the Apollo clubs concerts Of the
season, not excepting the Messiah per-
Torrance, have been financially success
full.
To have given a series of high class
concerts the patronage that produces
such a financial success as the one that
closes tonight speaks alike for the man
agement Of the series and the people Of
st. Paul.
