THE ZOCH RECITAL

The Schubert recital given by Her
mann E. Zoch at the First Unitarian
church last evening was interesting
from many standpoints. It was a mar
velous exhibition of Mr.. Zoch IS ability
to memorize and present almost flaw
!essly a program which lasted for two
hours and a quarter. It was most un-
usual in the daring Of the pianist to
present so long a program taken exclu-
sively from the works of .one composer,
and he writer whose works have many
striking similarities. Again it was dar-
ing to advertise such program to COM
mence at 1880. That announcement
served to bring large portion of the
audience there at the time set, but it
also served to make the entire program
a continual interruption by those who
time, and by those who became tired
before it was completed and left.
Unlike the biblical feast, the best of
the program was in the later numbers.
The group of impromptus, opus 142,
in mastery manner. The closing
& Fantasia, op. 49, was another treat.
It would be difficult to imagine any
thing more enjoyable or interpreted in
abound with the iterated note, which
characterizes so much Schubert music.
The opening sonata, posthumous
work, was not as enjoyable as some Of
the other selections.
Of Mr. Zoch IS playing, it is almost
needless to speak This is his sixty
fifth piano recital, and the auditorium
was crowded to standingroom during
the evening. The good that has been
accomplished by Mr.. Zoch turnout these

CHEAP CANDIES WONT
BE so CHEAP IN FUTURE

Local candy manufacturers are
agreed that the present price Of sugar
is bound to affect the price of cheaper
grades of candy, altho high-class goods
will remain the same for the present.
Sugar is now $3.50 a hundred, and
is steadily rising. AL W. Paris of the
Paris Murton :. company this, morning
made tile following stateme1it:'M "The
prices of the cheaper grades Of
candy :. are, figured very closely
on the market price Of sugar,
and any change in this will raise
the price. This boosting of sugar
comes too late, however. to change the
prices of Christmas candies. These for
the present will remain the same
McKusick, Towle & Co. agree with
this, stating, however, that eventually
better candies will be pushed up,
should the increase in sugar continue.
The prediction was made that sugar
would be up to Sc within six weeks.
Mixed candies will advance from one
half to one cent a. pound at the pres
emit price. ~ -.---s-.:

BIG BRIDGE VIBRATED
Passengers on Street Cars Thought It
Would Fall. .E

Starting with an almost imperceptible
vibration the big steel arch bridge from
Hennepin avenue to Nicollet Island in
creased it's rythmic motion until pas
sengers on six street cars, which were
stopped owing to a funeral procession,
rushed to the gates in fear, and only the
assurance Of the conductors that there
was. no danger stopped quick exodus
to the shore. !.
The cause of the remarkable vibra-
tion was simple and was based on the
same principle that has wrecked
bridges when troops have marched
across in perfect time. There were no
teams passing when the cars were
halted, but moment later big dray
started trotting across. The. horses
hoofs fell together and the time was
soon transmitted to the bridge, which,
heavily loaded with the cars, vibrated
at the same interval as the striking Of
the feet. The increase in the vibration
was so gradual that it was at first un-
noticed, but soon it was almost impos-
sible to stand, and the passengers
slipped about most ludicrously on their
seats . ~ ~ y r
