YSAYE WILL HAVE NO
MORE OF ORCHESTRA
With De Befye at Piano Con-
ditiOns Are Somewhat
Improved.

When the Ysaye orchestra gathered for
rehearsal yesterday morning there was
no Ysaye. Ten, twenty, fifty minutes
passed. still no Ysaye. Then came mas
sage from the violinist 1.-THE orchestra
was impossible. He was not going to
play with 1t any more. C'est impossible,
monsieur. How can'-I? They cannon
play. How 1 have suffered the night be-
forei Lawsuits? Damages? BienI Have
/ not been damaged? 1 must have the
piano tonight. No piano. no concert.
Good morning.
And that is why NJ Ysaye stood up last
night at the Alhambra with only a piano
at his back That is why M. de Befve,
already introduced to us as a non-con-
ductor sprang into the light last night
as a composer and pianist of peculiar
disabilities There is still another i'm
provement. Now the orchestra is most
properly defunct, It remains only to
throw a handkerchief over M. de Befve
and Iure-say Giulio Ormay-to the
piano.
AS to M de Befve-we have given M.
Ysaye every right to despise the musical
standing of the community, yet not quite
the right to impose conductor and pian-
ist of the De Befve kind upon us. M. de
Befve evidently thinks it all right. He
takes the curtains" hand In hand with
Ysaye with an air of self-satisfaction that
simply glitters. True, M. de Befve is
there with the notes. He is generally.
with an ax-like chop at it, there on the
beat. But of beauty of tone, of dis
tinction of f1uency, of Elasticity. of any
grace Of reading he has none. 1t is the
common or kitchen type of effectiveness
in pianistics, and M. de Befve need not
have come all the way from Belgium to
exhibit it. AS composer-he played an
etude of his own-he is equally bourgeois,
equally without any imagination
Certainly stoo, the pianist was in part
responsible for Monday evenings fiasco.
Here, however, only service has been
done to the community. Perhaps 1t will
set the symphony lovers a-thinking. and
If M. Ysaye's very practical turn
down of the orchestra does not set them
a-thinking earthquakes cannot.
The first number given last evening
was the sonata for violin and piano In
G major of Beethoven. But it was not
so happily given save In parts of the
middle movement. very suavely, sweetly.
tenderly played. In the same movement
there were introduced curious little ru-
batos, hurryings, almost scurryings, that
one rebelled against. M. Ysaye again was
magnificent in the Saint-Saens concerto
(No. 81. It was a noble and impassioned
rendering, full of the dramatic quality
and a delight in tone throughout. The
andante, lovely example OF Saint
Saens elegant charm. was most beauti-
fully and characteristically played. The
Wagner-wilhelmj "Siegfried" idyl was
another number, the "Abendlied'' Of
Schumann, rarely beautiful muted tone,
and for fireworks the Guiraud rondo-
caprice and Wieniawski Faust" fantasie.
Tonight will be on the programme the
Kreutzer sonata, and twice. one wishes
for Mr.. Ormay for this. And there will
be no orchestra.

Unless early and correct treatments
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound is the most efficient treat
ment for kidney troubles of women,
and is the only medicine especially
prepared for this purpose.
When woman is tpoubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices brick
dust sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink

Graphic Gambling Scenes.

Criticism on the gambling scenes laid
in Hall Gaines book, 1.-The Prodigal
Son. has been the means of inducing
the author to visit several gambling
places on the Riviera recently, says a
Monte Carlo correspondent of the Kan
sas City Journal, so that there may be
lacking TO accuracy or realism when
the dramatized work is produced in
London.
Certain critics, in dealing with the
book, have found fault with the de-
scription of what they wrongly assume
to be roulette. AS a matter of fact, what
the author described was baccarat. Ex-
perienced baccarat players have, how
ever, pointed out to him weak points
in this scene and he came to the Ri
viera expressly to study the game in its
various and most exuberant forms. I'm
der the guidance of one of the best
known European gamblers and plung-
ers, he visited all the notorious clubs,
casinos and gambling dens on the Ri
viera, and while his guide played bac-
carat Mr.. Game took quiet notes of all
that went on.
At hall known as "Cercle," or So
called club, at Nice, Mr.. Caine stood be-
hind the chair of his companion while
in less than he hour he lost over $780,
900. After this no one will in future be
able to reproach him with not being
personally acquainted with the modern
manners and methods of 1.-The Prodigal
Son."

activity has made good progress, not
withstanding hindrances due to very
hot weather. Local trade conditions
were much improved in the better de-
mand for seasonable apparel, causing
rapid reduction of stocks in leading
retail lines, and the formal abandon

The week brought with it other de-
velopments of direct Importance, no.
tably the revival in buying of basic
iron, together with a higher average
cost in metals, lumber, building mate

panding consumption.
Interior advices show that the dispo-
sition of necessaries has widened and
the indications are encouraging for en-
larging business in general merchan-
disc. Collections remain good on both
city and country bills. Financial con-
ditions are without disturbing fea-
lures but the money market exhibits
a distinctly firmer tone. Freight move
ment was lower than for last week in
grain and live stock, owing mainly 20
activity on the farms, but no diminu-
ton appears in the forwarding of mill
and factory products. Railroad earn
ings throughout the West show sus-
tanned increase and lake traffic is heay-

Grain transactions were lessened in
the cash divisions, but futures invited
more activity from the conflicting ma
ture of crop reports, and strong manip-
ulation controlled the current option
