pursue the subject, but Ermyntrude re-
gretted her hoydenish act, as the monks
looked al her askance during the re-
mainder of her stay.
The day was far advanced when they
set out on their homeward journey. The
Prince was assiduous In his advice that
they should keep eyes, ears and nose
well protected by their furs now, as the
cold was intense and a slight breeze had
sprung up. The ravines which were so
beautiful by day were dark and for
bidding enough in the declining light;
but the road was smooth, owing to the
snow and the absence of traffic, and the
three hours journey promised to end as
pleasantly as 1t had begun.
They were vet ten miles from Bannoflla,
and traversing path cleared through an
outlying strip of the inland forest, when
suddenly the trees were lit with spurts
of flame, and the air resounded with the
discharge of firearms. Their Cossack
guard travelled in two contingents, one
in front and one in the rear. Though
taken completely by surprise, the men
unslung their carbines or gripped sword
or lance TO repel this unexpected and
outrageous attack. Instantly a fierce
melee took place, a number of vague
forms on horseback dashed past, and
there was a vast deal of yelling and
promisCuous shooting.
The horses in the leading sleigh, that
occupied by Ermyntrude and the Russian,
flew ahead in a mad gallop. Soon they
were far removed from the scene of con-
fiict, and the Prince, yielding to Ermyn-
trude's frenzied anxiety on behalf OF her
father and brother, helped the coachman
to pull the frightened animals on their
! launches

tended for me- Possibly their sleigh was
overturned in the snow, and that accounts
for their non-arrival. You saw yourself
/ that my men routed the cowardly brutes. ="
The girl was distraught Even in the
terror OF the moment she remembered
the warning that she had received and
treated with contempt. "Oh, save them,
save themi" she walled. They have
harmed nobody. Why should they be
made TO suffer: And it IS all my fault
Had it not been for me they never would
have come here"
The Prince evidently thought 1t best
not TO check her lamentations, but he
did bend over her and arrange her furs,
lest She should suffer from the piercing
cold, and at last he cried cheerfully:
"Here come my Cossacks! Now YOU
see YOU have no need for further alarm.
But the news brought by the escort IN
no wise was reassuring. In the con

left the track and upset. When the In

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
Fellowship Choral Union

OF the forming of musical societies
there is no end, but instead of their
being a WEAKNESS to the flesh, each
new one, when 1t is good one, is an
added pleasure. The latest one to
join the company, which includes the
Ellis club and the Apollo club, the
Treble Clef club and others of this city
Is the Fellowship Choral union, an or
ganization starting with about fifty
selected voices. This society is under
the leadership of Ernest Reginald Lee
man, we'll known graduate of the
Boston Conservatory of Music, where
he studied under Senor Bimboni and
later with Prof. Charles Adams. Jean
de Chauvenet has been engaged as solo
pianist and accompanied Mr.. Chau-
venet was professor of piano in the
conservatory of music in Denver. His
piano and pipe organ compositions are
we'll known to musicians.
A limited number of places in this
choral union are still open, particularly
for tenors. Applications should be
made to Mr.. Leeman on Tuesdays,
Fridays or Saturdays at his studio, 3l7
Blanchard building. Rehearsals are
held Monday and Thursday nights, and
will begin Immediately. The date and
place of the first concert will be an
nounced soon.

ASK FOR REDUCTION
IN THEATER LICENSE
Representatives Ask Council to Make
Cut in Prices-Auditor Recon-
mends Reduction

Representatives of the local theaters
appeared before the finance committee
of the council yesterday to urge favor
able action upon their application for
a reduction in the theater license. At
torney Jud Rush, representing the ap-
plicants, said the license in this city
is nearly three times as much as
in other cities of the country.
Rush submitted some figures in sup
port of his contention. He said he
had corresponded with theater people
in twenty other cities in the country
and found that the average license
rate a month was $1737. The COM
mittee took the application under ad-
visement.
City Auditor Schwaebe reported ad-
versely upon the application of the
park department for an increase in the
number of men from lis to 1876. He
stated that the limit of expenditure in
that department without creating n
deficit will be $65OO. The recommen-
dation of the park commissioners will
be returned to them for revision in ac-
cordance with the figures submitted
by the auditor. The plan proposed
by the auditor will result in the en-
ployment of about forty more men
than are now at work

At the time of his arrest Peele had
retired for the night, and the stolen

His only excuse for his crime was
that he had been out of employment for
a number of months, and in order to
facilitate his travels he made away

The COW boy only smiled at this re-

plead guilty.
He was originally charged with
grand larceny, but Judge Smith al
lowed him to plead guilty to petty
larceny, and he was sentenced to serve
six months in the county Jail.

LIBRARY TRUSTEES ARE
NOT IN FAVOR OF PLAN
Proposal Of City School superintend-
ent Does Not Meet With the
Approval OF Board

The proposal of superintendent Fo-
shay of the school department that ac-
commoda tions be provided in the pro-
posed public library building in Central
park for the executive staff of the
school department does not meet with
favor from the trustees of the library.
Several members of the library board
were asked yesterday whether they
would favor such plan and all of
them expressed their disapproval. Some
of them had not heard Of Professor
Foshays proposal.
This is to the effect that office room
be provided in the proposed library
building for the city school superin-
tendent and his assistants and several
supervisors of special departments.
Such plan, 1t is assumed, would
mean the sacrifice of one entire floor in
the building, so far as library pur-
poses are concerned.
DIR. ]. w. Trueworthy, president of
the board of library trustees, had not
heard of the plan until yesterday.
unless there are advantages in this
plan which do not appear at first
glance, 1 should be opposed to It," he
said.
Foster c. Wright held a similar opin-
ion. Il have not considered the
proposition he said, but L can see
that there would be very serious objec-
tions to such an arrangement"
Miss Mary L. Jones, the librarian,
said she believed Superintendent Fo-
shay's idea was founded upon the plan
followed in Denver. 'In that city.
however," said Miss Jones, 'the library
is under the direction of the board of
education. In this city the situation
is very different, the library being en-
tirely independent of the board of
education.
"One great objection 1 see to the plan
is the steady growth of both depart
ments. If they were combined prob
ably we would soon have a repetition
of our present experience. There
would not be room enough"
Rabbi S. Hecht had not heard of the
proposal but stated that very strong
arguments would be required to con-
vince him that the plan would be "a
judicious one to adopt. The PROPOSE
tion has not been officially presented
to the library board
