CHARLES F. LANES TRIP.
Famous Gold Miner Will Go to
Alaska
(san Francisco Examiner.)

(San Francisco Examiner)
The schooner Vigor, owned by
Charles F. Lane of the Utica mine, will
sail from Seattle in about a week, laden
with men and supplies for Cape Nome
the newly discovered mining district
of Alaska, on Klozebue sound. Early
in June Mr.. Lane will leave on a steam
er and expects to arrive about the same
time as the schooner.
Last summer Mr.. Lane sent an eX-
petition to Kotzebue Sound and ten of
his men. including his youngest son,
We're left there all winter. The Vigor
will take relief to the men and supplies
for their stay there if there should
seem to be any use in further pros
pecting. 1t will also droD a few men
off at Came Nome to Investigate the
new strike.
II have not received any late re-
ports from this new district said Mr..
Lane yesterday, and 1 am not pre-
pared to positively state that the new
find is as rich as has been stated. The
Vigor has been Quitting at Seattle
for some time, and we are waiting for
the ice to break up in order to gain
access to the coast. KotZebue is a
short distance north of Cape Nome on
the Boring sea. Ir~-- have been ru-
mors of great hardships undergone by
those who spent the winter there, and

men are in need Of anything"

Paid the Debt For Rain.

Banker II. II. Pitcher. of Livermore,
Cal, wanted four inches of rain. 1t
would mean, says the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch. the saving to him of thousands Of
dollars in an agricultural way. He jok-
ingly mentioned the matter to Mrs. A.
L. Fuller, an ardent worker in the Meth
odiSt church.
why don't you pray for it?" she
asked.
inquired the banker.
Certainly she said.
IF you will give me four inches of rain
will pay the debt of the Methodist
church. said the banker.
Mrs. Fuller at once went home and
commenced to pray. She told other mem
bers of the church about the matter and
they prayed. The whole town of 800 peo-
pie became interested. Two days later it
commenced TO rain Steadily down it
came-one inch, two inches. three, and
three-quartersi AT last, while the town
held it breath. the gauge filed up to four
inches and the crops of Alameda county
were saved
Then Mrs. Fuller reminded Banker Pit
cher of his promise. He was still in
clined to treat the matter as a joke but
he toed the scratch manfully and paid
the church debt of 800.

Rosenthal.

The long promised visit of Rosenthal,
the eminent pianist, viii be fulfilled. This
great artists American tour is under the
direction of Henry Wolfshon. the well
known musical manager of New York,
and will embrace all the principal cities
of the union. Rosenthal has been pro-
. nounced by the best European critics as
the equal of List and Rubinstein, and it
is natural for us to expect great perform
ances from so distinguished a pianist.
His programmes include the master
works of Beethoven. Mozart. Chopin,
Schubert, List, Schumann. Brahms. In
New York they call Rosenthal 1.-The
Giant among modern pianists." His
execution is simply astonishing: elasti-
city. buoyancy, freedom and precision are
all there. and his playing infinitely more
tender and poetic than any artist yet
heard in this county. AT his first con-
cert in the metropolis he was called out
eight times and wildly cheered after the
Don Juan Fantasia" and the audience
demanded several encores to which he
graciously responded. That Rosenthal is
certainly the musical lion of the day
was freely expressed on every side, and

The visit of the Bostonians this week
was d genuine treat to lovers of light
opera IN particular and lovers of bright
SpaIkilnS amusement in general.
After seeing the performances there re-
mains no doubt thta the organization is
the best of its kind in the country. and
the story of its evolution is of some in

twenty years. Ii was formed by Efie

remaining are Henry g Barnabee and
George rockingham. The company was

Both attributes are necessary to obtain

not very well grounded have the courage

the old story that beginners are liable TO

young people with ambition and fervent
longing for fame should remember that
success does not come by dreaming of it.
The life of an artist is one of self-sacrifice
and the more successful he is, the greater
must be the sacrifice.
1t is. as Mrs. Davis says. slavery, yet
there is not an artist before the public

when once the goal is reached. But the
percentage of those who do reach it is
small. In many cases failure is not be-

1t is a play with moral. thoroughly

circumstance altogether favorable in the
eyes of an American audience. but its
merits are such as must inevitably APP
