The Greatest Pianist of To-Day.

Rosenthal, the master of the mechanics
of the piano, will give one concert here
a week from to-day. The seats for this
event will be placed on sale at the store
Of Messrs Walter u. Moses e Co. on
Monday morning at 9 o'clock. When 1t IS
said that Rosenthal is the master of the
mechanics" Of the plano. II must not be
understood that ne is master Of nothing
else. His playing is dominated by a keen
and untiring intellectual grasp that gives
1t a value and a quality quite its own.
OF the merely sensuous he displays no
thing. His tone IS big. varied in color,
thought appear I'm his phrasing; in the
nice adjustment OF part 10 part; in the
contrast and alignment of detail; in the
graduation Of dynamics in the climaxes.
These features Of Mr.. RosenthaPs play
ing show him to be far and above the
mere practitioner of technique who takes
no thought OF the content Of what he is
exDOundng.

price per bushel. 11s cents. The total re-
turn to the planter was Sl90S. which gave
him a net profit Of 1851 per acre The
cost Of picking cotton per 100 pounds was
