and in costume with Miss Clifford, or
in solos, his singing showed intelli-

is that itch quality in his tones,
that warmth that always touches

work was received with enthusiastic
applause. His selections we're much

'sToo much cannot be said about the
violinist, Miss ELY 1on Fursch. She
is a thorough artist, a wonderful mis-
tress of bowling and of technique, who
handles her instrument-a Guarnerius
lovingly and holds with it confden-
tial converse. Violi nists have been
heard with a more powerful tone, but
few with such marvellous command of
every delicate nuance of the COM

her in his Faust Fantastic, and her
master, Max Bruch, would have ap-
proved of her playing of his 'Kol

the persistent applause, she elided On

+, Indeed she has herself been called the
American nightingale. Her bell tones
were clear and true and she ran up

with the agility of nimble squirrel

'The Passage Birds FAREWELL by

SPRING POLITICS.
Lively Contest over Some Democratic
Nominations-COnven Next Satur-
day-Re pubIicans Inactive.

Nominations-Conven Next Satur-
day-Re epublicans Inactive.
Three weeks from esterday-April
2-will occur the annual municipal
election. The Democratic ward eau
cuses have been called for next Fri
day evening aud the city convention
will be held Saturday afternoon. The
Republican caucuses and convention
have not yet been called, but a meet
ing of the city committee is announced
for this evening to take steps in the
matter.
So far as the Democrats are con-
cerned, the pre-convention campaign
is the livellest that has been on in
some years. The principal contest, of
course, is over the treasurership,
which is the best salaried elective
office. For this position the present
deputy treasurer, Emil Tanck, and
Albert Fuermann, of the Sixth ward,
are avowed candidates. John j.
Brusenbach was also in the field up to
a few days ago, when he withdrew,
he not being qualified for the position
at present, on account Of holding Of
fee as an alderman of the First ware.
A provision Of the city charter makes
every member of the common council
Ineligible to any other municipal
office, except mayor, during the
term for which he was elected" Mr..
Brusenbach's term not expiring until
the middle of next month rendered
him not eligible this year, but we
understand he will not take another
nomination for alderman and will
bide his time and appear at some later
date in the race for the treasurerShip.
He has been faithful ana intelligel
representative ia the council and is
we'll worthy Of material recognition by
his party.
Alderman Brusenbach's withdrawal
leaves the field open to Messrs. Tanck
and Fuermann, each Of whom is striv-
ing hard for the nomination. What
the outcome will be is mtr cOniec-
ture, but Mr.. Fuermann is reported to
be in the lead from present appear
ances.
The two nominations for assessor
are also causing considerable strife,
there being three candidates One
nomination is practically conceded to
Gustave Gloger, which leaves the fight
between Charles j. Wenck and w. j.
Stacy. Mr.. Wenck has served many
terms as assessor, while Mr.. Gtacy
is practically a new aspirant, although
he was ar eleventh-hour candidate a
year ago and succeeded in obtai ming
few votes in the convention.
As to the mayoralty, there appears
to be no especially active candidate,
unless it be ex-Alderman Henry G..
Mayer, of the Fifth ward, whom it i.
said is willing to take the nomination,
and, in fact, some Of his friends are
working to this end. Ex- Alderman
Ferdinand Schmutzler, of the Third
ward, and ex-City Treasurer F. A.
krueger, of the Sixth ward, have also
been mentioned, but each gentleman
has positively declined to allow the
use Of his name in this connection.
Mayor CRUDE could no doubt have a
third nomination if he so desired, but
he considers that he has had sufficient
"honor" and has decided to retire
from municipal public life.
The Republicans, as usual, are in
active and waiting to see what their
opponents do. They will no doubt
place full ticket in the field.
