PADEREwsKI IN MOBILE.

Most persons at all versed in musi-
cal literature are aware that Ignace
Paderewski. who is now in this coun-
try on his sixth American concert tour,
is not alone a pianist. The fact that
he enjoys the fame of being the great
est living pianist rather to over
shadow every other that relates to his
great name, it is true, and, doubtless
many people assume that aside from
that he would be little known. His
fame will rest upon his achievements
as piano virtuoso, truly enough, for in
this he has had but few peers, but
Paderewski has accomplished other
things. His compositions for piano,
violin and piano, orchestra and piano,
and other works have wide reading
and standing. He has written more
than eighty pieces for the voice.
Paderewski is on tour again this
season, and will be heard in concert in
Mobile, Ala, at Mobile Theatre, Janu-
ary 19.

Chicago Man Possessed of Too Large
a Number to Send to School.
Chicago, Jan. 11.-Having too many
children was the defense of Anton
Hermann, who has been arraigned be-
fore Justice Prindeville charged with
falling to. send his daughter, Katie, IL
years old, to school.
Hermann testified that he was the
father of 10 children, six of whom are
of school age.
81 am too poor to provide clothes
and books to send all six children to
school," he said 81 don't get much
money in the lumber yard where |

FINAL STAGE
IN BIG FIGHT
FOR POSSESSION OF THE FOR.
TUNE OF MILLIONAIRE PLAT
HAS COMMENCED.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE final stage
in the struggle for possession of near
ly three-quarters of a million dollars
between John R. Plat, an aged mil
lionaire. and Hannah Elias, a negress,
who he charged wrOngfully obtained
the money from him, was scheduled
tc begin before Justice BischOf in the
supreme court to-day. In this suit it
was expected that the whole amazing
story of the affair which. attracted the
attention of the entire country when
the secret of Platt's relations with the
woman were revealed by the filing of
his suit last summer would be brought
out Interest in the case was inten-
sified from the first by the strange
and tragic death of Andrew H. Green,
one of the city's most prominent men,
who was shot to death almost at the
door of the Elias woman's home on
Central Park west few months be-
fore the Plat suit was filed. Green's
murderer, a negro, who was captured
and later sent to an insane asylum,
said he had shot Mr.. Green because
he was jealous Of the latter's atten-
tions to the Elias woman. With the
filing of the Plat suit the contention
of Mr.. Green's heirs that he was the
victim of mistaken identity when the
attack was made was practically prov
en-. There was a remarkable similar
ity in personal appearance between
Andrew H Green and John R. Plat,
and Mr.. Plat himself has said that he
believes the insane negro intended to
kill him and misteok Mr.. Green for
him.
Mrs. Elias maintains that the vast
sum named in Platt's suit was given
to her voluntarily by Platt-that he
literally threw money at her. She
has told of one instance, when, she
says, after pressing her to take large
sum which she refused, he threw a
great handful of bank notes on the
floor and she had a servant gather
them up on a dust pan. On the other
hand, Plat claims that the defendant
resorted to every trick and device her
ingenuity could demand to extort
money from him during the twenty
years of their acquaintance
Mr.. Plat is now 81 years old and
very feeble.
