devotee of art. The letters which are printed
in the biography of Tschaikowsky, written by

genuine and even fond intimacy existed be-

stantine is a poet, who publishes his verse in
the journals as well between the binders

him and Tschaikowsky were frequently occu-

long before the composers death the last cor
respondence had reference to a Requiem" by
Apuchtin, which the Grand Duke wanted
Tschaikowsky to compose. The composer de-

MUSICAL COMMENT.

torg-4 Ne1o american VioIin'St.

About a fortnight ago the cable brought the
information that Rimski-Korsakof, who' since
the death of Tschakowsky has been almost
universally conceded to be the foremost COM
poser of Russia, had been dismissed from his
professorshfp in the Imperial Conservatory of
Music at St Petersburg, and that a large num-
Der of his colleagues had resigned their positions
in consequence To the ordinary reader this
was but a bit of political information; but to
those who know how Zealously the reignfng
dynasty has cultivated music during the last
generation especially. how shrewdly as well as
wisely Russian music has been put before Ger
many. France, Great Britain and America, 1t
came with shock of surprise. Men upon whom
favors and honors have been heaped for years,
like Rimski- Korsakoff. Glazounon and Ladoff.
have been degraded, so far as the action Of
Russian oficialdom can degrade them. The dis
missal of Rimski- Korsakof came from the di-
rectorate of the Imperial Russian Music So
ciety whose president is the Grand Duke Con-
stantine Constantinowitch, the head of the
ciety who is said to have rudeIy commanded
the action of the directors. 1t was this grand
duke who, president of the Academy of Sci
ences, also compelled the expulsion of Maxim
Gorky from the honorary membership which he
held
The cause of the differences between Rimski-
Korsakof and the Imperial Music Society was
a letter which the composer wrote to the direc-
tors protesting against the action Of the police
toward the students Of the conservatory, who
along with thousands of other students Of the
empire, had taken sides against the government
in the political disturbances. In view of the
fact that Rimsli-Korsakof was educated for the
navy and was for a long while director of the
marine bands of the empire. his letter is worth

correct Put about FIVE gallons of 70 gasolene into
your tank, and add TO this a couple OF biehbelIs

ana minuteness with which you examine your auto
before starting out Will depend the almost absolute
certainty Of breaking down. Don't miss ANYTHING

An Awful Calamity

The explosion of a 150-horsepower
boiler in r. b. Grover & Cos large
four-story wooden shoe factory at
Brockton. Mass, yesterday, killed
scores of employees and injured many
others. Many men and women died
a hero's death to save their compan-
ions. One man whose legs we're
caught under an iron beam cried to
the rescuers that they could not extri-
cate him and to help the girls behind
him. Stretching out his arms, he lift
ed several girls one by one and passed
them TO the rescuers. Then the fire
reached him and he died.
A woman who was entangled in a
shoe machine cried out that she was
dyingAand commanded the rescuers
to attend TO others who might live.
She begged to be shot. Soon the
flames enveloped her. What caused
the boiler to burst is not known, the
engineer being among the killed. An
official investigation into the horror
has been ordered. The monetary loss
by the explosion and subsequent fire
is placed at $3.50, 900.

CHEAP TRIP TOATLANTICCITY
LAST NIGHT AT THE CO
LONIAL THEATRE.
The Wills Company Gives a Side
Splitting Performance
Some Clever
AcnnhafS
AcrobatS.

Between the acts last night at the
Colonial Theatre Mr.. James Leslie an
nounced that the company playing q
three nights engagement here this
week wanted TO make the people laugh,
and that the three plays would be q
broad, hearty laugh.
Certainly the Wills Company ac-
complished its purpose last night, for
it made the audience laugh in spite
Of itself, and science says 1T Is good
TO laugh. The bill was a Trip TO
Atlantic CITY, " and il cost any where
from Is to 80 cents for the audience
TO get there aud see the sights and
nave all the rollicking fun the Board
Walk and Young's Pier afford.
The play has no plot and makes no
presense at any. IL is commingling
Of songs, dances, acrobatic performan-
ces, hair splitting stunts by a little
child in mid air and exhibitions of a
contortionist, or several of them-male
aud female. Que of the young ladies,
but it is IMPOSSIBLE TO tell from the
program whether it is Elsie, Grace,
Maude, Lille, Florence. Kitty, Ruth,
Nav or Dora --, has q very sweet
voice and sang several pretty songs.
Mr.. Walter 5. Wills is a clever con-
tortionist aud as the bell boy did a
number of India rubber stunts that
had a side splitting effect upon the
audience. Mr. James Leslie, 1.-The re-
tired brewer, is a humorous charac-
ter, and as a Dutchmaa with money
for his son TO blow in, ;" he is laugh
raising hit
Mr.. Leslie got off several jokes on
ANNAPOLIS, the " Santee, the At
lanta'' and Eastport. In describing
his trip abroad the Dutch brewer S
son told the father of the great statue
one of the Seven Wonders of the
World, The Colossus at Rhodes, stand
ing with one foot on each side of the
river which the statue spanned. The
father said That's nothing. We've
got man right here in Annapolis
who last year had his foot in the FL
delity Trust Company, Baltimore, and
now has the other foot planted all
over the State of Mary land-Governor
Warfield. " The son said again there
are streets in Europe that take man
four days to go through. The Dutch
brewer replied That's nothing; we
have streets in Annapolis the Health
Department never gets through.
The most clever feature of the per-
Torrance was the exhibition that the
Gregory family gave. Mr.. O. j.
Gregory and his daughters, Miss Bell
and little Marguerite, are fine gym
nasts and acrobats. The trapese per-
Torrance of the little girl was excep-
tionally good for one of her tender
years, and the daring feat of the
elder daughter, as she climbed a lad
der poised by her fathers feet as he
lay on his back, was most cleverly
done. The performance of the Greg
ory family is alone worth the price
of admission. Tonight the Wills Com
pany will play 1.-TWO Old Cronies. ;!

A Versatile Climate

Versatility is all right in its place.
but when it comes to climate long
suffering humanity would like to
draw the line somewhere. To say
that this is versatile climate we live
in would be putting it mildly. The
temperature can turn q double SOM
mersault in less time than it takes to
tell it, and it thinks nothing of plung-
ing flesh and blood from summers
heat to winters cold, and vice versa.
From a maximum temperature OF rs
degrees on Sunday. humanity was
plunged TO a maximum temperature
of SO degrees yesterday, drop of "a
degrees in as many hours. The fore
cast for the next "a hours is rain or

temperature was 40 degrees and mini
