MUSIC.
The Thomas Memorial Concert.

There was large audience at the Metropolitan
Opera House last night when the seventh popular
concert turned into memorial of Theodore
Thomas The affair was dignihed and impressive
and wholly free from the customary exhibitions OF
indiscriniration and bad taste partly. 1t seemed
because in the audience there larger Infusion

was very much like what might have been expect

SACRIFICE OF GEN. FOCK,
Russian Leader Remains Single in
Order to Educate Poor
Native Youths,

Moscow.-Mne. Fock, the octo-
genarian mother of Gen. Fock, second
in command at Port Arthur, writes to
the Krimski Viestnik, inclosing a do
nation for the sick and wounded Rus
sian soldiers and giving q sketch OF
her gallant sons career
Gen. Fock has always been a man
of slender means, and has remained q
bachelor solely in order to educate IL
boys of his native village, all sons Of
poor peasants.
It is this educational point which
the generals mother energetical1y rubs
into tho readers OF the Sebastopol
journal. The Russian people want
lifting out of their benighted igno-
rance, superstition and sloth, and
then all will go we'll with them.
The article Is filled with broken SEN
fences and asterisks, where the CEN
sor's pencil cut out heavily. Mme.
Fock suggests that all public benevo-
lence should in future go, not to war
like purposes, but to huge national
fund for the educational enlighten-
ment Of the masses, whose ignorance
is a grievous Indictment of an other
wise .paternal government.

OKLAHOMA ENOCH ARDEN,
Husband Supposed to Be Dead Appears
After Wife Is Married to
Another Man.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-For seven
years prior to January Z, 1899, Mrs. Bev-
erly Crisp had been deserted by her hus-
band, and she believed him dead. They
were married in Wichita, Kan, in 1889.
when Oklahoma was opened to settle
ment, and came directly to the terri
tory, settling at Arapaho, Custer coun-
ty. After making every effort to OBJ
tain information as to the whereabouts
of her husband, Mrs. Crisp married w.
l.. Thompson at Weatherford, Okla,
January Z, 1899. They lived happily.
and had accumulated considerable prop
erty, but suddenly the long-dead hus-
band turned up, and it was found that
Mrs. Crisp had never been divorced
from him, although they had not lived
together for some seven years before
she married Thompson. The other day
the latter filed proceedings for divorce
in the district court here. Mr.. Thomp-
son states that he believes his wife was
perfectly honest when she thought her
former husband was dead,

SMALL BILLS ARE SCARCER
Dwindling in Number Of One and Two
Dollar Certificates Owing to Elk
haustion of Silver Bullion.

Washington.-The treasury depart
ment is having difficult time in filling
orders from national banks for one and
two-dollar bills. The volume of free
currency of these denomin atoms has
been dwindling at very rapid rate dur
ing the last four or five months, and is
now 50 small that it is necessary to limit
the mum Der that may be doled out to the
banks. Is. = * 3
The shortage of money is charged by
Treasurer Roberts against the exhaus-
ton of the silver bullion. As is gener-
ally known, silver certificates of small
denominations are issued against coined
silver dollars, the latter being stored
away in the treasury vaults as guaran-
tee for the paper money. When"con-
gress stopped the purchase Of silver bull
lion for this purpose there remainedin
the possession of the government a ties
mendous amount Of the uncoined metal.
This has been gradually used from
month to month since, but practically
the last bit Of it was coined in February
of this year, when the minis turned out
sc, 900 standard silver dollars. That was
the last time any addition was made ID
the volume of circulating currency ID
the most popular form OF money-th4
one and two-dollar bills.
At the beginning of every days busi|
ness Treasurer Roberts examines the rot
port of the number Of free silver dollart
on hand. He then tells the cashier how
many silver certificates may be shipped
during the day, and this limit Is rigidly
adhered to. It frequently happens that
national banks will have their applica-
tons for addition notes cut in half.
Sometimes their demands are honore1
in full.

HORSES POWER IN EYES,
Psychologists Find Calculating AMI
NAL Spells and Counts by Vir-
tue Of Quick Vision.

Berlin.-Dr Carl Stump, professor Of
psychology at the University Of Berlin
and a member of the Royal Academy Of
Science, and two colleagues, DR.. c. Won
Hornbostel and DR.. o. Pfungst, have
ended months of experiments with Won
Osten's horse Hans. They find that the
secret of the animals replies is in his
powers of observation, which enable him
to perceive while he looks at his ques-
toner the instant he has reached cor
rect answer. Thus they found the horse
was unable to tap out a correct answer
to question when the person puttingit
did not know the answer-for example,
"How many persons are in the group
behind mot"
The Questioner, not looking himself,
did not know the mum Der, and Hans was
unable to give correct reply. The
horse was not able when wearing blink
ers to calculate or perform the simplest
counting. -
DR.. Stumpf >does not doubt the good
faith OF Won Osten, but he concluded that
the horses long training h ad taught him
to detect the eyesight changes in the
bearing Of the Questioner ~ he reached
the right number Of hoofbeats in spell,
ing or in using the counting apparatus.
The sharpness Of observation In itself
10 most remarkable, az the horse noted
movements or changes in expression in
visible to others and Of which the cues
toner is unconscious. This conception
Of the horses abilities is the only one
to coser all circumstances. DR.. Stumpr
says he talked with the naturalist Sch1l-
lings about this and Schillings agreed
with him and his assistants.

Cats to Kill Prairie Docs,

The owners of an enormous sheeD

from the consumption by prairie dogs
of the tender shoots Of grass, that
they have determined to import cats
enough to exterminate the dogs. The
first company of 100 cats is being r.

In the New York Post shows anxiety
for the future of the cats, their work
being accomplished. He says If they
DO kill the prairie dogs they will have
