PadereWski Plays $50 Compost
ti0ns From Memory.

A topic that is much talked Of just
now is the forthcoming visit of Jan
Ignace Paderewski. the distinguished
Polish pianist. to the city. His com
ing carries with it somewhat of sur
prise, for not until recently was it an
nounCed that he would be in this
country this season. However, he has
landed, from Australia, and his tour
has begun. with five concerts at San
francisco. He will appear in this
atty on April II at Auditorium.
1t is an event OF much significance
that Topeka is to hear the greatest OF
living pianists. 1t is a matter in which
every person, whether especially con-
cerned in music or not, should really
have personal pride and interest. It
brings pleasure to all. and is of special
value for it's educatiOfal influence
upon the young, in whom Paderewski
is vastly interested. He is a friend Of
the young, and especially of young
people who are studying music" says
prominent musician who knows

Ut viii be recalled that the great
pianist some years ago gave a fund Of
ten thousand dollars in trust for the
awarding of prizes yearly to young
American composers. This fund IS
still held for its purpose in New York.

TWO BRIDES By SAME NAME.
An Hour. After One Young Woman
Was Married Another Gets License.

LeaVenWorth, Kan, April IA
rather odd coincidence occurred in the
office of Probate Judge Johnson when
marriage licenses were Issued to two
young women of the same name, the
name not a common one, and so far
as one of the grooms knew, the bride
of the other groom was no relative OF
the young woman he intended to
marry.
Judge johnson issued a marriage
license to and married Prentice A.
Howard. aged Is years. and Agatha
Schrey, aged 20 years, both Of Leav--
enWorth county.
Within an hour after the marriage
had been performed and the couple
had gone from the judges Office a
man named Fred Seigel, aged a years,
of Wyandotte county, called for n
marriage license. He was referred to
Miss Brinds the judges clerk, and size
asked the name of tn ebride-tO-be.

his head. He said he did not think
the first bride was any relative of his
intended, but he did not know.
He was licensed to marry Lulu

that this number will be issued right
