Edwin Grasse, the 11-year-old blind
Violinist from New York, who got his
musical education in Brussels, made
sensational success on his first ap-
pearance recently in Berlin. He
played concerto by Sinding, and such
scenes as that which followed have
rarely been witnessed in the famous
Philharmonic hall. The magnificent
orchestra, which accompanied him,
was completely electrified, as was the
audience.
In response to the demands, the
blind musician was led forward 12
times. each successive appearance
seeming to increase the enthusiasm.
After Grasse mixed with the audience,
and people in crowds pressed forward
to grasp his hand.

CURIOUS STORIES

THIEF NEELY LIVES IN LUXURY

THIEF NEELY LIVES IN LUXURY
g. F. w. Neely, the employeof the
Havana pOstOfiice department who
stole $l30,000, is living like q prince
in the jail at The Cuban capital. Es-
tes Il. Rathbone, his dupe, who re-
ceived little if any of the proceeds of
the gigantic frauds, is miserable,
broken and discouraged. Senator
Hanna brought about his release on
bail, sent his wife to him from
Washington and has done every
thing possible TO make his position
easier, but that does not relieve him
from the feeling that he is convict
ed felon. He does not want pardon.
He wants n new trial. Neely invest
ed the proceeds of his thievery in
various enterprises, among which
We're two brick yards. BY literally
brihing Havana judicial officials,
he was able to save these yards for
himself. They were turned over TO
arelative, who is now running them.
If there is anything which Havana
needs while it is passing through this
reconstruction period, it is brick and
Neely is selling this material. Even
though ne is IN jail, he Is growing
rapidly rich. He expects to be par
doned soon after the installation of
the Palma government, and if he is
not successful in this he hopes to
purchase his pardon later on. He is
confident that he will be released
within year and says he feels as
good as a business man who is at
tending to his affairs, but is confined
to his room. There is much truth in
this. He lives much the same as he
would at hotel, having his accounts
rendered weekly. He pays 81 a day
for his room, has his own servant
who does his errands, goes to bank
and to his offices, transacts his pri-
vate business, keeps his quarters in
order and brings his meals. His
meals are furnished from the Hav-
ana club, the most fashionable social
organization for Americans III Hay
ana. In short, the most distinguish
ed and successful criminal of the
last few years lives in prosperous
ease.

PREACHERS APPEAL FOR A WOMAN

PREACHERS APPEAL FOR A WOMAN
Rev. E. l.. Stoddard, rector of the
fashionable St. Johns Protestant
Episocal church, on Summit avenue,
Jersey City, caused a sensation by
sending to the Woman's club an
open letter, in which he asks for an
athletic man to give "thrashing
Just before breakfast every morning
for week or two,' to the hus-
band Of a woman who, he says, is be-
ing treated shamefully, and to whom
the police courts have offered no aid.
The letter says: "a sweet, innocent
girl, whom ! have known from baby
hood, was married a few years ago,
and since then has hardly known a
happy day. | think it can be proved
that she has never had the price of
dress from him in more than three
years. Before her first baby was
born she had to go to work to pro-
vide clothes for it. She now expects
a second child. A few weeks ago he
threw boot at her, which knocked
her down, and turned her out of
doors in the middle of the night, and
she went with what clothes she had
on her back to her mother, a poor
woman, who can't afford to support
her. She appealed to one of the
petty courts. The judge told her to
go back to her husband and that
there was no redress; if her husband
would give her room and board
she could claim no more. Is there
not some athletic and large-heartcd
friend who will give the husband a
thrashing just before breakfast every
morning for a week or two"
