and more sensuous attributes of piano
playing. Joseffy's playing is like Gre
clan temple. The architecture is beau
tiful and inspiring, but very chaste and
cold. 1t is like Puvis de Chavanne's
decorations. The color scheme is sub
dued and reticent chilly grays and pale
greens and tender mauves, but brilliant
and daring in technique 1t is very
wonderful playing, everything is in per-
feet taste and there is never any Vul-
gar exaggeration to win applause, any
attempt to dazzle through mere pyro-
technics. Yesterdays recital was an
unusual treat after the hopeless aero
battles of modern pianists. 1t was le-
Ultimate piano playing and Joseffy is
probably the greatest living classical
player
There is not space for a detailed dis
cussion if his programme. The most
delightful feature of it was the Tschai-
kowsky sonata, which closed the pro-
gramme. In this all the best qualities
of his art were heard to great advant-
age.
Mr.. Joseffy was the guest of Morris
Steinert who entertained a party of
musicians at Sandals. Mr.. Steinert's
guests were Messrs Leopold Winkler,
Hugo Heing, Albert Mildenberg, Mrs.

GRAND ARMY ENEFIT.
First Presentation of Prince Ramon In
This City Last NiTht.

An immense audience that filled the
Grand Opera house to it's capacity wit
messed the initial performance of the
spectacular comic opera prince Ra-
mon last night. Expressions of I'M
doubted approval We're heard on every
side at the conclusion of the perform
| ance and those in charge should feel
highly gratified at the splendid impress
sion made on such large audience.
| The production was one of the smooth
est for first night" ever witnessed in
this city. Lovers of good music should
not miss such rare treat as this and
there should be crowded houses at ev-
cry performance. The music of the
opera is bright and catchy and it is
studded with brilliant numbers. The
scene of the dramatic story is laid in
Seville, noted above all cities of Spain
for its beautiful women and dashing
cavaliers. This affords abundant oppor-
tunity for a large company of young
men and women and they are used to
good advantage. The singing of the
chorus was excellent and they rendered
the clever numbers in a way that
brought forth enthusiastic applause.
The work of the principal characters
was excellent. The work of Miss Edith
May Root as Donna Isabella, Hostess
Santa Maria Inn, was of the most ac-
ceptable nature. She is possessed of
considerable dramatic ability which she
displayed to advantage last night, espe-
cially in the last act, when she recited
the stirring tale of the storm at sea, the
shipwreck and the thrilling rescue of a
baby that had been dashed to the mast
and given up to the mercy of the waves
Miss Root is a talented elocutionist
and teacher of elocution and is gradu-
ate of the Emerson School of Oratory
in Boston. The drill of the girls mill
tary company and the dancing of the
flower girls are especially deserving of
mention. Many spectacular divertise-
ments are introduced enhanced by cal
cium and electric light effects, magnifi-
cent scenery and costumes. The cos
tuning is certainly the finest of any
home talent performance ever given in
the city.
The production is under the auspices
Of the Admiral Foote post, No. II, G.
A. r., and from this fact in part will
be we'll patronized 1t is to be given
each evening during the remainder of
this week, with Saturday matinee. A

THE JOSEE,FY RECITAL,

Rafael Joseffy, who is without doubt
Americas most distinguished pianist
and one of the foremost pianists of the
world to-day, appeared at the Hyperion
theater yesterday afternoon. 1t was the
first piano recital that Mr.. Joseffy has
given in many, many years. and was
the first of a short series of recitals that
this great artist has been induced to
give In the principal cities of New Eng
land. Mr.. Joseffy came here at the urg-
ent request of Morris Steinert, who has
been warm personal friend for many
years. The recital was attended by a
representative assemblage of New Ha-
ven musicians. Nearly all of the promi-
nent amateur pianists We're present and
1T was an audience which was sufficient
1y cultured to appreciate the unusual
programme which Mr.. Joseffy had
chosen. What shall one say of a pianist
who in these degenerate days begins his
performance with Brahms sonata and
closes with a Tschakowsky sonata. 1t
lis very certain that he prefers the ap-
probation of the few to the applause of
the many. And, moreover, what words
Oan express the sensations of the fire.
quenter of piano recitals when he hears
man play Brahms "Intermezzi" for
encore numbers. The occasion was one
of unusual delight and a unique expert
ence in artistic pleasure
Mr. Joseffy has developed consistently.
For years he has been known as one of
the worlds greatest pianists. AT the
beginning of his career he was regarded
more as technical wonder than as a
i1io a ia6 t1ro
same position that Rosenthal occupies
to-day except that there was always in
his playing a certain refinement and
taste that Rosentha lacks. Joseffy was
at that time under the influence of
Tausig, of whom he was pupil Ros-
entf1al, let it be remembered, was a
pupil of Joseffy. This is the musical
genealogy of these great technicists
Joseffy grew steadily in artistic stature
and his playing broadened intellectually
and he was recognized as great mas
ter OF the pianforte and its literature
but his playing always lacked warmth
and color Then came a long period of
retirement from public life. During this
time Joseffy studied deeply in modern
music and especially the works of
Johannes Brahms. This period of rest
was one of great mental growth and
when he reappeared about three years
ago he played a Brahms concerto. 1t
is easy to see how Brahms would appeal
to Joseffy. He had long ago mastered
every technical difficulty of his instru-
ment and the only field that remained
was the one of Intellectual problems.
He has found great delight in wrestling
with the intricacies of the ultra modern
school and his present performances are
marvellous and mastery exhibitions
of keen mentality dominating
and obscuring all the softer

mines. He and the road between 'em

There was now no earthly doubt who

tive. They had not heard our approach
amid the noise and confusion of their

shouted, clapping the muzzle ON my
pistol behind his ear. He heaved at the
lever; the engine began to move, but
slowly! The troopers were coming on.
We heard them cry "Surrender!" The
engine was quickening her beats. They
saw that we were running, and they
opened fire upon us. We lay down fiat
and let the locomotive go. The fire
man was trying to bury himself in the
coal. A shot broke window above us.

THE BOTTLE MILLIONAIRE.
How Mike Tussler Made and Lost {
Fortune in the Black Hills.

How Mike Tussler Made and Lost a
Fortune in the Black Hills
My friend Mike Tussler was cowboy
par accident. Nature had made him an
Irishman, and the favor of a ward boss
had made him policeman in Boston,
yet here was he beside a sagebrush
campfire, with the cattle bedded down
for the night hard by. Some good cow
BOYS come from Boston--a few. There
is a doubt about Mr.. Tussler as to
whether be was so efficient vaquero
because he was Irish or for the reason
that he was unusually bow-legged AT
any rate, his anatomy fitted to horse
very accurately, and he bestrode buck
ing bronco as gracefully and securely as
a sawbuck on a Gothic roof. 1t is said
but / can give you only hearsay on
this point--that Mike would lock his
toes together under the horses ribs, and
thus ride out safely the hardest gale of
pitching and tossing that any cayuse
could put up. Added to the anatomical
reason for the Irishman's making a good
vaquero there appears to be an interest
ing chronological one.
There is hypothetical racial relation
between Ireland and Spain. The Span
lard and his American progeny, the
Mexican, make the best horsemen on
earth, and the Irishman is a good sec
ond.
Mike says this is all wrong and l am
confounding cause with effect; that his
legs were straight as young saplings be-
fore overmuch riding effected and per-
fected their present graceful curve.
Also, he is not a real Irishman at all,
at all, but belongs to that honorable and
Astounding clan, Scotch from the North
of Ireland"
But this is his own yarn-let him tell
it: "When my legs was straight / was
three inches taller than ] am now, and
good looking in proportion, With my
broad shoulders and fine chest / was one
of the best-looking officers on the force,
and so they put me out at Cambridge to
keep an eye on the boys at the varsity.
stayed there only one year, when 1
had to resign from the force on account
of my health, being threatened with
sympathetic tremens from seeing them
students staggering home in the morn
ing. Fine officers is ruined that way
every year, boys, and John l.. says they
ought to have a pension.
But a policeman is like soldier--he
has to go where he is ordered so when l
was ordered off the force I went. Then
joined private detective agency, and
was sent out to the Black Hills to find
gold mine that had been lost there. My
employer was an old lady who had
taken a half-interest in the property to
oblige Il friend, and it was my sad duty
to write her that it was no real mine at
all, but sailed, barrels of salt having
