THE BERNARD RECITAL.
An Excellent Programme Pleases n
Inr-e Audience.

The piano recital given last evening at
typographical Temple by Prof. ]. W. Ber-
nardi was a decided success. 1t was a
rare treat for lovers Of music. and the
large audience showed its appreciation in
unstinted and enthusiastic applause. The
programme consisted Of four selections.
one each from Franz Schubert. Beethoven.
Chopin. and Won Weber. Prof. Bernardi
acknowledged the applause OF the audi
ence and always responded to an encore.
Although it was his first appearance IN
public in this city, Prof Bernardo IS by
no means a stranger in musical circles
in Washington. He is a graduate OF the
Peabody Institute of Baltimore. where he
was a pupil OF Prof Bermeister. During
the last six years Prof. Bernardo has been
teacher of music, and numbers many
Washingtonians among his most accom-
plished pupils. He will probably give an
other recital later in the season. After
the performance Prof. Bernardo was
warmly congratulated on the musical sue
cess of the entertainment by number Oh
his friends.

the Supreme Court of the District of Co
lumbia, has been confined to his home at
1891 II Street northwest for the past day
or awo with a slight Illness. He was BET
ter last night and will, in all probability.
return to the bench in Giro uit Court No.
/ in few days.
Since Judge Bingham was taken Ill
speculation concerning his rumored re-
,irement from the bench has been rife
about the City Hall. His long service has
entitled him to retirement at any time on
full pay. 1t is not. however. the desire
of Judge Bingham to retire and he VIII do
so only upon the advice of his physicians.
1t is not likely that they will deem such
a step necessary at the present time.

A Shut Down Probable.
The Mill Situation at Angus
ia, Georgia,

Interviews with the various mil
presidents yesterday showed the out
!ook in Augusta to be gloomy enough
and unless the price of cotton falls
within the next few days hundreds O
operatives will be thrown out O
employment Several of the mills
have little cotton on hand, but whe:
that is consumed shut down is
almost inevitable
President Chaffee repeated in sub
stance his statement to the Chronicle
the night before The Sibley mills
would taxi 4ntage of the high
price Of ton and shut down fol
repairs or the wheel, which might
possibly consume two or three weeks
time
The King mill has also posted a
notice for two weeks shut down.
Mr Stewart Phinizy, president Of
the Augusta factory, said he had
cotton enough on hand to run for a
week or two and that no action would
be taken this week
Mr. Hickman, for the Granite
vile Mfg Go, said they would con-
tinue 10 run as long as they could
"swep dollars" in order that they
might give the operatives employ
ment, but If the situation became
critical, of course the interest of the
stockholders would have to be con-
sidered.
No instructions have been received
regarding the Southland mill.
Mr James Verdery, president of
the Enterprise. said that ii the cotton
goods prices did DOT improve, at the
presen, price of cotton, the mills all
over the country would be compelled
to shut down
Mr. Chester Clark stated that no
action had been taken in regard 10
shutting down the Globe mill.
Mr. Thomas Barret said that the
Aiken Mfg Go would continue to run
on full time, but q notice would be
posted next week that the Langley
mill would run on half time
As about 5000 people will be
affected by the shut down,
much anxiety is felt over the situa

DETERMINATION OF VII "eu WOFkorss
In 1893 Illinois enacted an antitrust
law. 1t was declared void, because
Judge C. C. Kohlsaat, sitting in the
United States Circuit court at Chicago,
found that "the statute contains both
class and special legislation, and is a
contravention of both the State and
Federal Constitutions" Much might
be said, but l see no reason why 1t
should be. The man who can draft an
antitrust statute that will stand has
not yet made his appearance. Moral:
Don't imagine that legislative pills can
cure many industrial ills. One strong
Labor organization Is generally worth
half a dozen laws" l am aware that
a few days ago the Supreme court OF
Ohio handed down a decision that Is
taken to sustain what is generally
known as the Valentine-Stewart Anti
Trust law, which prohibits the COM
bination of companies or firms for lille
gal purposes which are therein out
lined, the decision being given in a
demurrer filed by the Standard OIL
company on the ground that the law
was unconstitutional But just wait
and see what ultimately becomes OF
this Ohio law, as far as effectiveness is
concerned, when the United States
courts get whack at 1t.
