He has re- ceived very little regular musical edu- cation, yet last season he was being paid at the rate of five hundred to thousand dollars night for his reel tals in Paris, and has just contracted to give a series of fifty performances fin the United States at seventy-five hun dred dollars apiece, so that 1t may be safely argued that by the time he is old enough to go to school he will have made a fortune that would turn many wealthy city merchant green with envy,
 At the age of ten Josef Hoffman was earning fifteen thousand dollars year. He studied under Rubenstein and toured through Europe. giving concerts in all the principal cities; but. signing for a larger income, he crossed the "herring pond" and gave fifty-two re- citals, which brought him in profit of sixty thousand dollars, and quite lately he retired to finish his education. An other marvellous youth, Otto Hegner, made a fortune of one hundred and fif- tv thousand dollars ere he was out of his teens and then retired to teach mu- sic at enormous fees, which aggregate the respectable total of fifty thousand dollars a year.

Brussels, Feb. 16.-It is said that
the desire to keep secret the depart
ure of DR.. Mueller, the former con
sui of the Orange Free State in Hol'
land, for the United States, was sc
keen that the Boer emissary booked
his passage under an assumed name.
According to information from re-
sponsible Boer quarters, Mr.. Kruger's
letter to President Roosevelt, OF
which DR.. Mueller is the bearer, does
not appeal for intervention, but ex.
presses regret that he is unable al
present to personally congratulate
President Roosevelt on his accession
and concludes with a gratifed allu'
sion to the numerous invitations to
visit the great republic which have
arrived and are still arriving,
Besides recognizing the Boer
propaganda in the United States. DR.
Mueller will direct his efforts prin.
cipally to obtaining government pro.
hibition Of the expectation Of articles
regarded by the Beers as contraband
of war, thus indirectly eliciting an
opinion on the war by the United
States government.
DR.. Mueller is supported by wealthy
Boer sympathizers in Europe and has
great hopes regarding the result ot
| his mission.

ONLY MEANT FOR A HOAX.
But it's Publication is Claimed to
Have Injured the University
of the South.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb ia story
recently sent over the country TO the
effect that Chancellor Wiggins and
some members of the faculty of the
University of the South had left
Sewanee because of anonymous notes
from supposed mountaineers warn
ing them to leave on pain of death,
has drawn from the university au-
thorities a statement in which they
say the publication has done much
injustice to the university and given
an unfair and erroneous estimate OF
the character of the people surround
ing it. The statement continues:
"The native population of the Cum
berland plateau and in the valleysa and
coyes near the university are on
terms of good feeling with the uni
versity, and the country people are
its friends. The single anonymous
letter picked up on the street
alarmed no one.
"The newspaper in which the SEN
sational article first appeared has,
in response to a request of the uni
yersity, given the source Of its in

came from persons who do not live

AIR INDUCED COMBUSTION.
Curious Loss of Bonds and Valuable
Papers that Went Through the
Paterson Fire Intact.

New York, Feb. l6.-Former At
torney General John W. Griggs saw
many thousand dollars worth of his
bonds and valuable papers destroyed
in Paterson, n. j. just as he had seen
them taken, still intact, from the
ruins of the big fire.
These papers were in his private
safe in his office, where his splendid
law library was burned. The safe
was taken from the ruins and the
door pried open. Suddenly the papers
burst into flames and were reduced
to ashes. 1t is supposed gas had gem
Grated inside the safe. Among the
papers were eight unregistered bonds
each of a face value Of $1,000, Cart.
ner Stewart, having offices near those
of Mr. Griggs, lost $4,000 in the

brewers. In their safe were bonds
valued at S15O,OOO. Wlen the safe
was opened it's contents were found
to be in ashes.

PROVINCE OF BATANGAS.
The insurrection Practically wiped
Ont by Gov. Bell-NIalVar be-
coming Unpopular.

Manila, Feb. 17,-Gen. J, Franklin
Bell has practically cleaned up the
insurrection in Batangas province
the troops under his command hav'
ing made a clean sweep of the dis.
trict 1t is not believed that all the
insurgent arms have been captured
or surrendered, but that a number
of them have been taken by the in
surgents TO other provinces or safely
hidden. The increase Of robber
bands in the provinces of Tayabas
and Cavite show the effects of the
drastic measures adopted in Batau.
gas and Laguna provinces.
Gen Bell says the people of these
latter provinces never realized the
terrors of war until they personally
experienced it's hardships, owing to
the closing of the ports and the con
centration of the natives in the
towns.
Gen. Bell believes that the insur
gent leader Malvar is becoming eX'
ceedingly unpopular with the Fill
pinos. and that when the natives
cease to fear his vengeance, many
will be found willing TO betray him
What has been said of Batangaa
province applies almost equally to
Laguna.

with Shot, which Killed Willie
Ledger, Aged sixteen.

st. Louis, Feb 16.-Willie Ledger,
16 years old, was shot and instantly
killed at nine o'clock Friday night by
Fretwell Shock, a ten-year-old lad in
lnickerbockers, near the corner Of
Bartmer and Goodfellow avenue, In
the western part of the city. He ad-
mits that he killed Ledger, but says
he aimed at one Of Ledger's compan'
ions.
The killing was the elimination of
feud that has long existed between
two factions composed Of the boys Of
that section Of the city Ledger be-
longed to what is known as the DE
Hodiamont gang" and Shock be-
longed to the "Cabanne gang" The
boys Of both factions are the sons OF
well-to-do and respectable parents.
Floyd Shock, the father of the boy
under arrest, is a director Of George
D. Barnard Co., and is now travelling
for the firm in Texas.
Willie Ledger's father is dead. He
made his home with his mother and
his uncle, G. s. Servant. Mr. Servant
is employed in the mechanical depart
ment Of one of the daily papers.
Young Shock related the story of
the shooting to the officers as calmly
as though he were detailing his par
ticipation in a harmless snow-balling
bout.
"Yes, shot Ledger" he said; "but
! didn't intend to shoot him, | aimed
at that other fellow there" he said,
indicating one of Ledger's compan-
ions, who was standing in the crowd
some distance away. HE knocked me
down and was going to do me up, and
l didn't intend TO get the worst Of it.
Those fellows were all bigger than
me, and they've been beating us ey-
cry time they run into us.
THAT fellow had me down, and the

death if l hadn't shot.
