A BLIND VIOLIN PLAYER
The First Appearance In America OF Edwin
Grasse, Who Has Ideals.

Edwin Grasse ,iolinist, made his Amerl-
can debut last night at Carnegie han
He played the Bach Z major concerto,
the Brahms concerto, and Bruch's "Scotch
Fantasia" In all Of these he had the aid
of Herman Hans Wetzler and his orchestra,
who also opened the entertainment with
performance of Beethoven's "Coriolanus
overture Mr. Grasse is totally blind and
for that reason commands respectful
sympathy II was doubtless on account
of his nfirmity that the audience was so
eager to express its approval OF his art
Newcomers in the violin world seldom
have the fortune to attract such large
assembages or to call forth such vigorous
plaudts.
Mr.. Grasse does not need TO ask considera-
tion for his blindness, He is manifestly
a serious musician and not perform er
of feats No man who meant to be taken
for anything but sound artist would have
come before this public with such pro-
gramme Children and conjurers with
fingers avoid Bach. Beethoven and Brahms.
Least of all do mere manipulators OF the
finger board essay to play the famous
concerto against the violin OF the last
named master.
Mr.. Grasse, then, is musician who asks
TO be received into the ranks OF artists
Let the place, therefore, be accorded hin,
which is his by right OF MS lnulsputaple
talent. He showed himself last night TO
be violinist of good schooling and per-
former of high ideals and no little tenn
permanent. His technical accomplishments
did not appear to be quite equal TO his anI-
bition. His technique ia good, but IT has
no reserve fund, and in most OF the..difficult
passages of the Brahms concerto his into
nation was far from satisfactory. But he
entered into the work with zest and earnest
ness. His reading was sincere and APP
preciative If not impressive. 1t was the
Interpretation of a musical person, but not
Of a master.
In the Bach number Mr.. Grasse also
showed the results Of sound study. But
his playing lacked the breadth and dignity
demanded by music Of this type In short,
this violinist plays with excellent intentions
and with some temperament, but his tech
MICS are deficient in finish. His tone Ia
somewhat raw and acrid and his bowling Is
lust little rough. But on the whole Mr.
Grasse is the kind Of violinist for whom
the hearer feels respect. He is honest IN
his attitude toward his art, and he gives
his hearers the best that is in him without
any attempt to parade his personal aftiic
ton as a plea for sympathy. When he Is
aging there is no evidence OF his blind
ness His entrances and exits reveal his
intrmity very clearly, and last evening they
went toward making his concert not alto.

MISS BI SSERT,S RECITAL.
A New soprano Heard IN MendelssOlin
Hail.

Anna Bussert, young soprano, APP
peared in song recital at Mendelssohn
Hall yesterday afternoon. Her numbers
were an air by Handel. Schubert's Der
Neugeirige," "Trock ne Blumen" and
"Gretchen am Spinnrade." Franz's Marie,
Brahms's Der Gang zum Liebchen' and
-Vergebliches Staendchen," Bizet Is "Vielle

Song and two songs by Victor Harris
who was the accompanist of the afternoon.
Miss Bussert was assist ed ~ Henry Merck
the first 'cellist OF Victor Herbert's 8 Pitts
burg Orchestra. He played, with Mr.
Harris, the Grieg sonata and also numbers
by Tartini Her bert and Pepper.
Miss Bussert has a voice which may in
time prove to be of much value to her, 1t
is fresh and pleasing soprano, of no great
range, but Of pretty quality. But the young
lady is not yet prepared TO undergo the
ordeal of public criticism. Her method Is
entirely uniformed, and her singing yester-
day was deficient in the primary requisites
of the art. II would, therefore, be idle to
catalogue her shortcomings and unkind to
make detailed com ment on her performance.
She will need to study long and earnestly
before she can use her pretty voice to ad
vantage When she knows how 10 do 80

NO CONEY ISLAND TRAINS.
Winter Service Over West End Route Stops
Al Timer Park.

The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
announced yesterday that, for the winter
months, all trains running over the West
End division from the Bridge would stop
at Timer Park, instead of continuing to
Coney Island. No trolley cars will be run
from Coney leland to Timer Park and Bath
Beach after midnight, and people who want
to feach those places from the Island after
midnight will have to go to the Thirty-sixth
street station by way of the Culver line and
then ride back on the West End trains.
The taxpayers associations and boards Of
trade near Coney Island persuaded the
railroad people not to curtail their service
on the West End lines last winter, and the
real estate men say that they expected
that the full service would be continued.

SITE OPPOSITE CRIMINAL COURTS
PRACTICALLY CHOSEN.
Park Row May He Nidened 80 Feet Oh the
West Side Above Chambers street and
New street Cut to the Court House
GrOunds-Law Must BE Amended First.

Mayor Low has appointed Charles >.
Fairchild a member Of the commission TO
select a site for and to superintend the
building of the new court house. Mr..
Fairchild takes the place OF the late HenryD.
Purroy. He was Secretary OF the Treas
ury under President Cleveland
The commission has practically decided
to build the new court house on the block
or blocks north of Franklin street, be-
tween Centre and Baxter streets. This
will put it opposite the Criminal Courts
Building and will necessitate an amend
ment of the law, which provides for site
south Of Franklin street The court house
will probably cover more than one block.
Justices Dugro, Scott and TruaN who are
members OF the commission, have urged
putting up building with u capacity at
east three times that Of the old court house.
Their recommendation will undoubtedly
| be carried out.
The Bowling Green local board Of inn
| provements Yesterday decided TO recom-
mend TO the Board Of Estimate the WIDEN
| ing OF Park row from Chambers street to
| Pearl The additional width suggested il
| fifty feet. The widening would ue done on
the west side of Park row and would permit

a plaza TO surround the new court house.
The reported plans Of the commission would
| do away with several blocks o' rookeries
between Mulberry Bend Park and Centre
street in the district facing the Criminal
! Courts Building.
Borough President Cantor, who is a
member OF the commission, said yesterday
that the present Administratio ought TO
| proceed with its project for new court
house and municipal building. He depre-
Gated the idea of the Mayor that The carry
| ing out of these plans should be left to the
| incoming Government. he contended that
| the Administration was committed 10
| these improvements and that it ought
| at least to take definite action on the sites.

SOUTHBOl,ND ONE ALARM FIRE.
Was Finally Backed Into stream OF
Water and Put Out.

A southbound one alarm fire, driven
by Michael Kelly OF 125 York street, Brook
lyn, was stopped at the corner OF Spruce
street and Park row yesterday morning
by Policeman Fitzpatrick. A few minutes
later the firemen overlook and extin-
guished it.
Kelly started out with a load Of corks
from the Empire Cork Company of 552
State street, Brooklyn. He has no idea
where he picked the fire up. The police
think it probable that some one had
Tipped a lighted cigarette butt among the
burlap bags in which the corks were pac ked;
At any rate, by the time Kelly reached
this end of the bridge his truck was leaving
u long and odoriferous trail of smoke.
phex m s snsd ae 'GP 1t horss sae s%sH smss

aries | dunno!'
Everybody within smelling distance
noticed it. But the placid indifference on
kelly's face gave folks the impression
that twas his regular business-this carting
big gobs of smelly smoke.
Something for the subway was the
general explanation.
Not until the truck was opposite City
Hall Park and four foot flames began to
suspect that perhaps the driver dldn I
know the nature of his cargo after all
Some one shouted Fire and people
came running from all directions. Kelly
thought he'd go too, and whipped up his
horse little.
One man made rush for the fire box at
Nassau and Frankfort streets. As he was
about TO turn the handle he hesitated
Maybe the fire won't be here when the
engines come" he suggested doubtfully.
It's driving down street SO fast"
"Aw ring it in. will yer! De cops stopped
de fire. he III make wait,
The man again started to turn the handle
and again he paused.
Wouldn't it save time. though, to have
the fire driven down to the engine house?
1t seems a shame to make 'em come all
the way
3Aw, fergit II! Here dey come now!'
Sure enough. In answer to another
box two hook and ladder trucks, water
tower two chiefs wagons and whole
flock Of engines dashed upon the scene.
To back the fire into a stream Of water
was the work of moment. The damage
was estimated at $50.
Which seems an awful lot commented
