THE SYMPHONY, ! CON CERT

It was with a. distinctssense of graft
tude that the large sandience, gathered
at the, First Baptist church last even
ing. to hear the first of the Minneapolis
son, settled itself for an evening Of
genuine enjoyment. The orchestra is
fully as large as twas last year, and
bears the evidence. of having been
trained with the same thoroness. It's
members seem to be actuated by the
same high musical purpose which was
IN evidence last year: A failure to sup
would be a distinct and very real loss
to the city from any standpoint.
:: The program last sevening was a de-
lightful one and in the main was we'll
rendered. That perennial favorite
"'Der Freischutz,'' with it's marked
1hythm and and ltiHg melodies was given
called for for prompt A recognition IN: He
Mozart "Symphony in E flat, - was ex-
quisite, and the first two movements
were especially noteworthy for their
suave and delicate interpretation. The
Saint ,Saens tone poem :" Phaeton,' a
fine bit of descriptive writing, called
for and r &c; thoroly adequate treat
ment. The Bolzoni "Minuet' for
string orchestra, was the best thing Of
the evening in it's execution, and was re-
peated entire as an encore.
The program closed with Tschai-
koWsky waltz, and the famous List
" Rhapsodie Hongroise, No. 20 The
former, written in the characteristic
style Of the noted Russian, was direct
appeal to the morbid, but was played
well. Of the latter it might be said
that the demands made by this tremen-
dous number are so great that none but
the? most perfectly. trained orchestras
might N; hope to successfully, cope with. it:
The number, itself played. with spirit
wouldundoubtedly call forth tumultuous
applause for its intrinsic power, and it
was this, rather than the playing Of the
orchestra, that brought forth the double
encore it received. Mr.. Oberhoffer as
director, was in his old time form and
led with a cleanness and gertrude that
was very grateful.
Nine. ShotweH-Piper, soprano, was
the .soloist Of the evening, and created
g dlst1nG + success: She sang the e, aria
Halle, i an air calling for larger cap
aaeity than the singer possessed: In the
Massanet aria from, LIE Cid' sung by
Ruby Cutter Savage last week, Nine
Piper was better placed. Both mum.
bers were artistically rendered and both
brought forth insistent encores. Nine
Piper s voice is a clear, sweet, and well
trained, altho not big soprano, of lyric
| rather than dramatic quality. She sings
with perfect self poise and assurance
and her charming manner and appear
ance add to her success. .-,.@t.-

OFF FOR ST. LOUIS.
Sixteen Automobiles Made Start From
 New York To-Day.

New York, July 25.--Sixteen auto- mobiles, piloted by members of the Automobile Club of America, started to-day on long run to St Louis. The entries originally were siXty-one in number. but for various reasons only sixteen appeared to-day. There were two women in the party.
 The main route from New York will be by way of Poughkeepsie Albany, Utica, Syracuse and Rochester to Buff falo, whence it will follow the south ern shore of Lake Erie through Cleve- land to Toledo and then proceed al most due west to Chicago, whence it will lead southerly through Springfield to St Louis. The longest days run on this route will be the 113 miles between Cleveland and Toledo The shortest will be the forty-nine miles between Utica and Syracuse.
 The party will be preceded over the entire route by q pilot machine, driven by a man familiar with the roads. This machine will leave trail of con fietti to mark the route and the main party will nave no fear of losing their way.
 F. O. Laroche, who started with the party, has planned to make the trip to St Louis without a stop and ex- poets to reach the exposition city in forty-eight hours.

 FIVE SHOTS FIRED.
CaretaKer Dunn, at Tit Kisco. Had a
 Close Call.

Mt Kisco. N. Y, July 25.-Shot at five times with a rifle in the hands of an ambushed assassin, William Dunn, caretaker of the Theodore B. Willis property, narrowly escaped death when seated on theporch of the house with his wife. Whether the would be murderer had grievance against Dunn or the ambushing was con- tinuation of the causeless attacks of life and property which began about IS months ago, is not known.
 As q result of the attack John AIoriarty, son of well to do farmer. is under $1 1,500 bail, charged with as- sault in the first degree.
 The complaint against Moriafty all leces that he shot at Dunn with a rife, firing at least five bullets. l. is said that the assistant district attor ney. who has the ease i'll charge, is in possession of evidence which he is not yet ready to make public, but which, when known. will astonish all this part of Westchester county.
 Moriarty's defense is an alibf. He says he was at home when the five bullets were fired at Dunn and his wife. whichever of the two they, were intended for, and that he knows noth- ing at all about the shooting.

Esopus, N. r., July 25.-Former Sem ator James k. Jones. the.retiring chair man of the democratic national com mittee, and Daniel J. Campau, mem Der of the committee from Michigan, were visitors at Rosemount today They stopped here on their way to New York, where they will attend the meeting of the national committee to be held at the Hoffman house to-mor- TOW.
 Chairman Jones will call the meet ing of the national committee to order and i'll accordance with Il resolution adopted by the St Louis convention, will serve as chairman until his sue cussor is elected. He had never been at Rosemount before and his ac- quaintance with Judge Parker is not intimate.
 Judge Parkers mail was heavier than usual to-day and demands so much of his time that he postponed his horseback ride until afternoon. The day is bright and warm and brought the children to the terrace for romp. They were kept in doors all day yesterday by the rain.
 After the meeting of the national committee several members will come to Rosemount for a conference with Judge Parker Among these will be Thomas Taggart, and if he is elected chairman plans for the campaign will be gone over.

}. D. ROCKEFELLER'S
 ENERGY OF ACTION

John P. Rockefeller, IT, has. besides his energy of action, projecting indi- Ylduality, says Eyerybody's. While it IS like that of his father in its main lines, 1t varies enough to give the young man place of his own. Al though Chicago university was created by Ms father, the son went to the mod est Brown university. Tn that quiet institution he was noted for his unos- tentation and economy. He entered the Standard Oil Go, and with assiduity mastered one department after anoth- CT, and is now in many enterprises his fathers plenary executive. Tn the pe- riod of probation while he was serv- ing his apprenticeship, it is related with unction that young Rockefeller seldom spent more than B cents on luncheon He has not been criticised for having a lighter Aand than his father, nor does he give promise {elther of more mercifulness to small competi- tors, or of methods more in accord with general moral standards. Like his father. he is a recluse; he is not seen at theater or opera. He abhors the ways of the modern money -spenoers; his chief amusement is his violin.
 The one outside interest of this flu ture Croesus is more original than aIl- tomobiles or yachts or polo. 1t is a famous Bible class at a Fifth avenue Baptist church. Here is certainly an extraordinary young man whose force and initiative have not been weakened by his wealth; and though he seems to care nothing for fashionable society, he is winning the glory and the money with which his sons may claim the highest social place.

STRIKE IS ON.
Fall River Mill Operatives Refused to Go to Work
 This Morning.

Fall River, Mass, July 25.-The strike order issued by the Fall River textile council calling for upwards of 3O,OO0 operatives to remain away from the mills this morning in protest against a reduction of 1215 per cent in wages became effective to-day and the response was as general as the labor leaders had predicted. In the 37 mills involved in the agreement to reduce wages but a few, comparative " went to work. It is estimated that not more than 300 entered all the mill gates to-day in place of the tide or operatives which between 6 o'clock and 6:30 every morning sweeps through the various entrances. The whistles blew at the usual time. the engineers were ill their places, Lut there were no operatives, at least not enough to operate the mills ana be- fore s o'clock practically everyone in volved in the trouble had shut down. The strikers, who in some instances had assembled near the mills, dis persed quietly and silence settled oyer the usually tumultous business dis trict.
 As early as quarter of 6 o'clock some of the operatives were on the street, but they were out only to take places near the mill gates and watch developments. By quarter past it was apparent that the strike order mad been generally obeyed. and at 6:30, the usual starting time, the only mill hay- ing more than q score of employees ready for work was the Bourne wnere some over 100 weavers had gone.
 The number entering at any other point varied from six to sixteen, and the group that went in at the Bourne mill was said to be too small to oper- ate the machinery.
 The manufacturers kept the gates open until ' o'clock, but save those who had gone in at the usual time none of the workmen accepted the op- portunity, and by 7:3O practically every mill save the Bourne had accept ed the situation and had shu. down completely. The only trouble of any sort during the early hours was re- ported from near the Border City mill, where there was some stone throwing by children. No harm was done. Po- licemen were stationed at all the mill gates, but there was nothing for them to do.
 Both sides admit that this is the be- ginning of one of the most determined contests which Fall River has ever seen. The manufacturers maintain that they have tried every plan which they could think of to avoid a reduction in wages, and took that final step only when driven to do so to save their business. On the other hand, the op- eratives say that the conditions affect ing cotton manufacture here are such that reduction In wages Is no more q remedy than such a step would be in attempting to prevent the ravages of the boil weevil.

RAIN SPOILED TENNIS.
Ground Was Soaked at Longwood and Conditions Were Unfavorable.

Longwood, Mass, July 25.--Weather conditions were unfavorable to-day for the opening of the tennis tourna- ment for the Longwood cup and the championship ill eastern doubles. The rain of the past two days had soaked the grass courts, and the morning opened with the sky overcast and q heavy fog. During the forenoon, how ever, the atmosphere cleared some what and men were kept hard at work in an effort to get the courts into shape for the singles for the cup, which were scheduled to commence before noon.
 For this event there was a record breaking list of seventy-two players. Included i'll this number were all the ranked men of last year, except Col lins, and Little, who are playing for the western doubles championship. The drawings were considered excel lent, allowing the best players to come through to the last rounds before meet ing. Tn the upper half Beals c. Wright appears to be sure of vic tory. while Holcombe Ward and w. J. CIothier will probably meet in the semi-final match on the other side The winner of the finals will meet the present holder of the cup, William A. Larned. in the challenge match.
 With such a large field, the commit tee was determined to have the prelim- mary rounds disposed of as soon as possible, but at 10:3O 1t was found im- possible to make the ground fit for the players to go on before afternoon.

SCANDALS ORDERS.

Berlin, July 25.-Herr Ballin, di- rector general of the Hamburg -Ameri- can line, says orders have been fele- graphed to the commander of the company's steamer Scandia, at Port Said. to reassume his command after lodging protest against the seizure Of the vessel by the Russians in the Red sea and to continue the voyage to the far east.
 At the foreign office to-day Herr Ballin filed statement affirming that the few munitions on board the Scan- dia were destined for the Chinese and German governments. This state ment was assumedly filed as the basis for claim against Russia for indem- nifty.
