May DethrOne PAderewski.

New York, March 5-Paderews-
XII, the musical favorite of New
York, bids fair to be dethro1ed by
q young man who fifteen years ago
made his debut as on infant prod
ICY and was prevented from play
ing by the Gerry Society.
After an absence of three years
abroad Josef Hoffman,, the pian-
ist, made his reappearance at Car
negie Hall this afternoon. His
programme was, perhaps, the larg-
est and broadest from a musical
standpoint that has ever been pre-
ssnted in this city by any pianist.
The opinion of many profes-
sionals, experts and critics, as ex-
pressed after the performances. was
that Mr.. Holman today stands at
the head in point of technique,
style, sense of rhythm, iuterpreta
ton and muSiciahship, and it was
also the opinion Of prominent pro-
fessional pianiSts present that
never since RubinSteins day has
such work been excelled in this
country
At the close of the programme
today, the audience refused t.
leave the hall until he had played
three extra numbers, and then the
crowd reluctantly dispersed. Dur
ing the encore performances, the
aisle following the line of the stage
was packing with ladies and gen.
tlemen, standing, and beStOwing
applause and expressions OF admir-
alton for the artists wonderful
work.

STAHL WOULpN,T ACT.
Refused to Serve Call For Meeting Of
Old Council.

There was no meeting of the city
council last night as a quorum was not
present.
After the call had been issued by
Councilmen Warner and Snattinger yes
terday afternoon City Clerk Squires call
ed in the new city attorney and asked
whether or not the call was legal. The
city attorney did not think that it was
and gave his opinion that Mr.. Squires
did not have to send the notices to the
councIlmen- Mr. Squires thought he
would be on the safe side so he made
out the notices and telephoned Chief
Stahl that he should serve them. Chief
Stahl did not want to do this SO he asked
for advice from the city attorney and
was told that he did not have to serve
the notices, so he did not do it.
All of the old members knew of the
meeting, however. as they had been in
formed concerning it in the afternoon.
The Hughes men We're advised to stay
away and they did so. Councilmen
SWendsOn and ROundtree stood across
the street from the city building and
seemed undetermined as to whether
they should attend the meeting or go
home
The members OF the old council who
were present were Warner, Morgan,
Snattinger, Myers and Weber Council
men Nichols and Griley were also pres
ent but they were there only as spec
tators as the call was for the old coun-
ell
The city building was locked when the
crowd began to gather shortly before s
o'clock and none of the lights were turn
ed on 1t was the intention of the Hughes
men to keep the building closed so that
the meeting could not be held as they
evidently feared some of their men might
attend and thus make a quorum. Mr..

appeared five minutes before s O'Clock
and opened the door. The lights were
then turned on and the five councilmen
present waited until Is minutes before
o'clock before they went away.
J. S Warner and NJ Snattinger said
they had issued the call in conformity
with the order of the court. I'VE were
ordered to meet and recount the tally
sheets and were at the council chamber
for that purpose said Mr.. Warner 1T
is not fault that there was not a
quorum present. Those who We're there

inner, H. f.. Carver and A. L Redden
their attorneys to appear before the
court this afternoon. They succeeded in
getting seven signatures, five of the old
and two Of the new councilmen. For
some reason they are very anxious that
the councilmen should stay away from
the court. A messenger was sent to all
the cOuncilmen by the Hughes men yes
terday evening that they did not have
to attend the meeting last night and
that they were not required to appear in

COMES FROn BRAIN.
Phosphates Found on the Skin and

We know that active brain work

have proper food containing phosphat a

the used-up tissue That one can obtain
such food has been proven in thousands
of cases among users of Grape-Nu1s

This contains phosphate Of potash in
minute particles, just as it is furnished
by nature in the grains.
This product makes from albumen Tire
gray matter that builds the brain and
fills the nerve centers-
In no way can this gray matter DC

Of potash upon albumen, and this mir

just as it comes from Natures labora-

system is more or less fastidiOus about
taking up the needed elements. and. as
might be suspected, It will favor the
products of Mother Nature rather than
the products Of the drug shop however
valuable the last may be for certain
uses.
