 He first appeared at the Philharmonic concerts in Vienna twenty-three years ago, and during the early eighties was a familiar figure at all musical gather ings in that city He had no success to speak of, was criticised by the papers as being insincere in his music and disa greeable in his manner. When the break came and he was forced to give up the struggle his so-caIled insanity" was found to be paresis, due to an over taxed brain. He failed to realize his success when it came and gave up his bread and butter at the slightest cause for. complaint. For example: He was appointed leader of the theater orches- tra in Salsberg, with good salary, but because, forsooth, he did not believe in the undignified presentation of the com ic operas given there, he called the the ater a trash producer and promptly threw up his appointment
 Like Schubert he died in poverty, un- known and unrecognized, but no sooner were his limbs laid to rest than a wave of Wolf popularity spread throughout the country. Famed by the efforts of the Hugo Wolf society his songs be- came the fad of the hour and every thing was proclaimed good that but had the Wolf signature. Of these songs there is an enormous literature, some showing unrnistakable touches of inci- pient insanity and others as sane as Mendelssohn at his calmest Many of his songs it would be folly to sing in public and are filled with such disso- nances as only the greatest of music can survive.
 MT. Bispham sang a complete Wolf programme in Mendelssehn Hall, New York city, not long ago, and has done much for the Wolf propaganda in this country.
 On MT. Elephants programme for to- nights recital in Woolsey Hall there are two of the songs of this remarkable genius generally considered among his best-"Der Tambour'' and "Auch Kleine Dinge." Mr. Elephants inter- pretation of them is very striking.
 The sale of seats for this recital is to begin at nine o'clock this morning, and lasts until six o'clock. Good seats may yet be had. Over one thousand fifty cent seats have been laid aside for the popular demand. They are going very fast.

The sensational comedy drama "Only a Shop Girl' will make its second ap- pearanee in this city at the Grand opera house Thursday Friday and Sat urday, this week. The authoress of the play is Marie Wellesly Sterling, who is also responsible for that beautiful lit tie domestic drama "On the Suwanee River" The Shop Girl' is a thrilling and romantic story of New York life, dedicated to every saleslady wearing the flower of a spotless life, in every department store in this big city. It deals particularly with the struggles of a young woman against poverty and persecution, and her final triumph over the powers of evil, by reason of her mate virtue and goodness. The play is a Standardization from the book of the same name. It is in four acts, all law ish from scenical standpoint, and in- cludes two of the best sensational eff fleets seen on the stage in years.
 The cast is headed by that winsome and magnetic comadienne Miss Lottie Williams. who will have as assistants some forty people well known in the dramatic and musical world. In addi- tion to the panorama of gorgeous seem cry many new and novel musical num- bers an dhigh class vaudeville acts are introduced, making one of the most en- tertaining comedy dramas ever staged.

ENTERTATgME ENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

Already Joseph Jefferson has encom- passed the span of life which the an- cient man of wisdom and authority named as the allotted period of human existence but he defies the decaying in- fluence of time and his acting grows not less impressive and attractive as the years roll on. It is extremely inn probable that the famous action will ever again create a new part; indeed, there does not seem to be any desire on the part of the public for him to undertake new work. His Rip Van Wrinkle, Caleb Hummer, MT. Golightly and Bob Acres have become institu tions oe the playmouse, and the thea ters i'll which he appears during his short tours are seldom large enough to hold the throngs that visit them on these occasions. MT. Jefferson will ap- pear in New Haven May in Rip Van Winkle.''

Even More Listless aud Apathetic Than

 New York, April 26-To-day's stock market was even more listless and ap- athletic than that of yesterday. The arrest of the decline prompted the re- tirement of the light contracts that had been put out on the short side. The arrest of the decline prompted the re- tirement of the light contracts that had been put out on the short side. The movement had no news to account for it and there was no symptom of any large demand in any quarter. United States Steel pf. was the most active stock and it's recovery was in face of the practical confirmation of the report prevalent yesterday of the early dis solution of the preferred stock conver- sion syndicate, on which the stock de- clined then. The second mortgage bonds were sold down in the early market to the extent of a point. The selling was attributed to members of the syndicate to provide cash to meet the expected call to complete the pay ment for that portion of bonds for which the syndicate agreed to pay cash, or against the expected delivery of bonds which the syndicate is still to receive. The point was made that the light buying of steel for account of the railroads is due to their inability to

NEGROES AND EDUCATION.

The report of Booker washington 10
the trustees of the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial Institute is a most IN
structive contribution to the discus
sion that is going on concerning the
education of the negro.
1t is particularly noteworthy be-
cause it takes US out of the theoretical
into the domain of the practical. For
example, one paragraph contains the
information that of 525 young men
who left the institute for the summer
vacation practically all were engaged
for some kind of employment many
days before the school term closed.
zone firm in Mississippi employed
twenty-five students for the summer
and sent tickets for their railway
passage. In other cases agents repre-
senting various industrial plants came
in person to urge students to enter
their employment. Still other solicit
ed students by mail and telegraph"
"And," says Mr.. Washington, those
seeking the labor Of u students
were practically all southern whites.
In the majority of cases the students
were sought for labor which required
not only skill but a high degree of in
telligence."
The principal testiles further that
the students command a wage that IS
three times as large as that which
they earned before they had received
a training at the institute, and he adds
significantly: THAT is, expressed in
dollars and cents, the southern white
people place three times as much
value upon the services of an educat-
ed negro as they place upon the SER
vices of an uneducated one"
AS regards the effect of education
upon the morals there is the further
testimony that no negro who holds a
diploma from any chartered institu-
ton in Alabama can be discovered in
any prison in the state. This is a
pretty effective answer to the asser-
ton which an Alabama official made
to the secretary of the Howard Asso-
citation that Booker Washington's
work at Tuskegee was only making
criminals. Indeed this southern the
DRY as to the influence of education
upon the negroes seems to be at vari-
ance not only with the prison Stats
tics but with the southern practice of
engaging students as workmen. The
reactionaries keep up a parrotlike cry
which is steadily refuted by the de-
velopments that are occurring before
their very eyes.

SUDDEN DEATH
Martin Beck Passes Away While
Friend Goes for Doctor.

The death Of Martin Beck. twenty.
two years old, Friday, was most unex.
pected and was a great shock to his
many friends. To all appearances
the deceased had been healthful and
strong up to a few days ago, and the
announcement Of his death, caused
by bowel obstruction, brings much
surprise to those who knew the young
man.
Arthur Oppenheimer heard of the
boys illness Friday, and as young
Beck was formerly an employee of the
Golden Eagle and Mr.. Oppenheimer
was interested in him, ne went to the
home to see if he could be of service,
and he found the patient in a very bad
way. Art immediately recognized the
seriousness of the situation and knew

taken in every matter from the North

patible with any theory of public be-

whom l have worked are Mr.. Knox
and Mr.. Moody in the department of
justice, Mr. Cortelyou in the depart
ment of commerce and labor and Mr..
Garfield in the bureau of corporations,
and that no such act of infamy as Mr..
Parker charges could have been done
without all these men being parties to
it. The statements made by Mr.. Par
ker are unqualifedly and atrociously
false. AS Mr.. Cortelyou has said to

paign, If elected l shall go into the
