AMERICAN W0LlNIST IN LONDON
Southern Beauty Attracting Much At
tentlon as an Artist

London is raving over the eItraordln-
ary powers of Marie Hall, southern
beauty from The United States, who made
her official debut at Crystal Palace theatre
as a performer on the violin. In that
country che would be named a fiddler.
Here che is fddieress.
The Queens Hall orchestra begins the
prelude to the Paga ina Concerto. Miss
Hail does not smile at the audience, as
others do; she is too full of her work.
Nervous, anxious, she fingers absently al
the strings of the violin held loosely at her
side. One is afraid che is not IN form
there will be a nervous breakdown. Such
slight, transparent creature-a pull cf
wind would be too much for her-is not
fit for the excitement Of the concert
room. And she is to play Paganlnl
Concerto, that few, save Kubehk or her.
SELF dare attempt. Will she get through
it? The orchestra preclude reaches a CHI
max, stops suddenly-there ID silence.
WHEN SHE BEGINS PLAYING.
The violin goes swiftly to the shoulder,
the bow, raised, descends on single note
that rings clear as bell. There Is a drive
inlo the deep alto of the g string, and up
again 10 the top of the instrument, where
the notes run like ripliDg laughter. The
concerto has begun, and with what nerve,
dash, certainty Of attack
Then the melodies begin to unfold with
a purity and sweetness one never heard
before 1t is Paganin interpreted by
youth, with hopes, ideals unsullied. All!
but that strain of acknowledgement has
surely not fathomed such depth Of utter
pathos When Kubellk plays it, too, it is
only tune; but now it seems like the dis
tant echo of a worlds living sorrow. And
now the very devil is ID the fiddle. Gay,
mocking laughter thrills from it. There
is scampering of little demons that have
not been loosed since Paganni himself fr-t

The explosion, which was terrific, was
heard at the surface and at first was be-
heved to be an earthquake. The engineer
hastily reversed the hoist, but could not
pull up the cage, and the bodies were re-
covered only after several hours work,

second compartment of the shaft. After a
thorough examination of the shaft, 1t Is
positively asserted by the officers OF the
mining company that the explosion was

sert that the Internal machine, containing
many pounds of dynamite, had been
placed in the sixth level, which is part OF
the abandoned workings of the mine,
within few inches of the shaft. Then a
loaded revolver was fixed in the shaft with
its nose set pointing directly towards the
internal machine. To the trigger OF the
revolver was attached a string which was
thrown across the shaft in such a manner
that the revolver would explode, the bull
let striking the internal machine. Pieces
of this revolver have been recovered from
the bottom of the shaft, but not a vestlge
of the internal machine can be found.

Sisters Home.
STUDYING TO BIZ A TRAINED NURSE
Girl can Give no Account Of her Long Trip,
but Child's Father Traces Them to Mt
Pleasant-ROad From There
Rough and lilly.

In weakened condition both in mind
and body, the result of four months ILL
ness from typhoid fever, Miss Nellie A.
Kyle, a beautiful young English girl, who
came to this country to study to be
nurse, wandered aimlessly away from her
home, 90 East School Lane, Germantown,
Saturday, and, pushing her little nephew
in 90. cart up and down hill before her,
walked in q roundabout way for nearly
twelve hours to Marble Hall, which by the
most direct route is seven miles from her
home.
Miss Kyle before her illness wac stu
dent at the Temple College Training
School for Nurses and made. her home
with her sister, Mrs. K. II. Marot, at the
School Lane address. In June last she
was stricken with typhoid fever and after
a long illness was able to leave the Sama-
ritan Hospital ole month ago. The fever
had temporarily weakened her mind and
in that condition she started on her jour
ney.
She left the house with Edward, the
22.months-old con Of Mrs. Marol, IL 60
cert, OH Saturday morning at III o'clock
About IL O'Clock at night che WAS found
exhausted at Marble Hall. The child was
sleeping quietly in his cart on the road
near her. He is none the worse for the
experience, but the girl had worn out her
little remaining vitality and suffers from
relapse.
Miss Kyle can give no account Of her
wanderings She and little Edward were
seen by many people while on their jour
ney. The girl walked feverishly, looking
ever ahead and seeming as if eager to
reach some point as quickly as possible,
The boy in the early miles travelled, SEEM
ed to be enjoying tue ride hugely.
Further on, when the go.cart bumped
over the rough country road, he cried and
as the journey was ending, passing through
Barren Hill, he found solace in a baby's
sleep.
CHILD's FATHER TRACES WANDERERS.
Inquiries made by the child's father
show that Mics Kyle walked north on
Germantown Avenue. She was seen Dy
many persons as she passed through Ger
mantown. They saw her going at a rapid
pace through Mt. AIRY and Mt. Pleasant
and she was traced IS far as Chestnut Hill,
where she stopped for a few minutes to
rest.
She was next seen on the Barren Hill
Road. How she crossed from Chestnut
Hill is not known, but she must have
taken circuitous route that added many
miles to the tiresome and purposeless jour-
ney. Along this, road she still pl)dded
until nature at last refused to respond to
her feryent desire to advance and she fell
exhausted. Above Chestnut Hill the road
is a succession Of hills and her strength
gave way rapidly in climbing them.
Wien the girl and her charge were
found they were taken to q nearby house,
where Miss Kyle was revived, She could
not tell whence the came. The go'cart
was left behind and they were put Oh q
car and taken to the Manayunk police
station There disappearence had beer
reported to the police and they were sent
home.

LINING UP FOR NEXT YEAR.


The evening organ Of the Republican machine
seems TO be hunting for an opportunity to thrust
knift into the Circuit Attorney from behind There
are indications that 1t is becoming fearful as
morning contemporary of the popularity which has
accrued to Mr.. Folk a result OF his brilliant serv-
ice There are indications that the shiner like the
lobster. would like TO convey the far from true
impression that Mr.. Folk the Democratic Circuit At
torney is not duly appreciated by the Democrats
St Louis and Missouri.
Mr. Folk is an able Circuit Attorney and a good
Democrat and the Democrats are not only proud OF
his record but proud of the glory which he has
Hected ON his party. The Star insInuates that Mr..
Folk believes that all which is good Is within him.
and that the summit Of his self-adjudged goodness
and merit is too far above the ordinary standard Of
probity and method 70 permit his descent
Why does the Sta. charge these qualities upon
the Circuit Attorney unless It seeks 10 destroy his
public usefulness? \O Democratic paper In St Louis
has given an opinion. or even q suggestion, that Mr.
Folk is an impediment to reform. As for The Re
public, It considers Mr. Folk very successful re-
former. he has certainly done more effective work
than any Republican Circuit Attorney which the
clIy has ever had.
