PADEREWSKI AT A MUSICALE.
An Amusing Informal Cali Which He
Made on Reginald DE Koven,


Made on REGINALD DE Koven.
When Paderewski, the pianist, was in
Washington not long ago, he was the
guest Of Mr.. and Mrs Reginald De
Koven. After the renowned Pole had
departed from the city Mr.. De Koven
said to friend:
never have any music at my house
while Mr.. Paderewski is guest there,
but there was one time when Paderewski
himself played, and played for me for
nothing. l believe am the only man in
America for whom he has done so much
II was at my residence, then in New
York, and was entertaining at a musicale
number of singers, famous in grand or
comic opera. Suddenly word came to me
that Mr.. Paderewski had arrived. had
not expected him and was very much sur
prised at his visit. Hurrying to the door,
I greeted him warmly and asked, some
what wonderingly, if anything serious
had happened.
"'Oh, no. he replied I simply heard
you were having a little musicale of your
own in a quiet way, and thought
should come around and play little my
self for you. You will not mind, will
you"
''' Mindr cried, thinking of the large
sums paid him for a single hours per-
Torrance, and then: why, you know
you are most welcome at any timer

by Edwin Cockeriil, farmer. He had
been to Occoquan and experienced some
trouble with his horse while on his way
home. the animal suddenly stopping and
refusing to go beyond a certain point.
Mr.. Cockerill used persuasion. but the
animal held it's ground. Finally he tied
the horse to the fence and went out to
make an investigation. Failing to dis
cover anything wrong he returned to his
team and made another effort to urge his
horse ahead. The horse still refused to
move, and second effort on the part
of Mr.. Cockerill to discover the cause of

MY next book shall have a white

Tribune. II am convinced that if
book appeared whose hero boasts Of sill

larity would be assured. No publisher
need be afraid to risk his money on it.
1t would be the talk of the drawing

''There is a fascination about the
young man with gray hair. At gather

white heads, all giving background to
faces glowing with youthful vitality.
These men seemed the most sought after
of any in the room; in fact, the only
winter have been the white-haired ones.
"Why is it? That is what I have
been trying to study out, and I have
come to the conclusion that it is owing
to the look of maturity it gives man,
minus the disagreeable Accomplishments
of age. We women like to play; we are
children. We like to look up to a man

wabbles with a superabundance of flesh,

Il think woman's ideal man-though
she will never admit it's one who has
been through all ife's experiences. She
is content that he should have the expe-
riences if he will but tell her OF them.
A woman naturally yields to the judy
ment of man who seems older and
wiser than herself. The gray head gives
all the appearance of age and experience,
while the youthful face lends itself to
dreams of romance. The combination is

Cairo, Ill, April 21.-The side
wheel steamer City of Pittsburg,
en- route from Cincinnati to Mem
phis, was burned to the waters
edge early yesterday morning at
Turner's landing, near Olmstead
Ill, eleven miles from Mound
City, ILL, and twenty four miles
from this city. The early re-
ports stated that sixty lives were
lost, and that many were badly
burned and otherwise injured,
but the list of casualties is not
yet definitely determined. Two
boats and every available craft
from the city went to the scene
for the work of relief. Efforts
were made to catch the New
South of the same line atPaducah
and have her steam back but she
had passed Paducah upward
bound before the telegram was
received.
The smoke was sitting, great
clouds foated through the blaz-
ing steamer choking the passen-
gers and adding to the terror.
Children cried piteously, begging
that they be saved. They knew,
as we'll as their elders, that death
confronted them and they chung
to their mothers as though they
alone could save them.

yesterday at 1910 a. M, that the

chang" The judge would not
receive the verdict as the court
had adjourned until 9 o'clock
Monday morning. This morning
at nine O'Clock the jury handed

let with the same GOODNESS and
calmness as usual, and never
fiinched. His mother, with tears
in her eyes, said: "My son, if

1t is supposed that Batson S
lawyers will insist on new trial
and if it is not granted will try
to carry it to the supreme court,
which means new trial if re-
