NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Alexander
Petschnikoff, violinist of world wide
fame, idol of Russian society and hus-
band of a wealthy Chicago woman, is
guest at an expensive hotel, where
he is preparing for his next recital at
Carnegie hall.
Far removed from his hotel, in a

ty and sorrow. She is Petschnikoff S
mother, disowned by the great violin
ist
Age and sorrow have bent the old
woman. Years of hard work have
scared her face and distorted her
shriveled hands. Slowly and crying
all the time she told the story Of her
sons conduct
ToiIed to Educate Son.
She told how, from the time of his
birth to his twenty-first year, she had
gathered wood and sold it in the
streets of Moscow to provide Alex
ander Petschnikoff with the bread,
meat and shelter that even musical
geniuses cannot do without. Left a
penniless widow at 33, she had sup
ported herself and her eleven children
as long as she was able. Only when
Alexander had won fame and aff1u-
ence did she appeal to him for aid.
The appeal was in vain. But as she
told her story it was plain that Petsch-
nikoff's refusal to support her was not
her geratest sorrow.
Petschnikoff's sister, Mrs. Rose Zen
ter, with whom the mother lives, says:
I'VE wrote him last week that mother
would like to see him and that if he
was ashamed of her she would meet
him in the street somewhere and no
body need know of it. But his wife
sent letter in reply, saying he had no
wish to see his mother and she must
not annoy him any more. He would
never answer his mothers letters him
self. His wife wrote always"

shipentine, there arrived yesterday a
man apparently without a country,
says the New York Sun. He is Karl
Kessler, aged 30, and has served
eleven years in prison at Lorenzo
Marquee, Portuguese East Africa, for
burglary.
After his release from prison Kess-
Ter, as German subject, appealed to
the German counsel at Lorenzo Mar
quez for transportation to his native
land. The consul put him aboard the
Kentmere to work his passage to
East London, Cape Colony. The au-
thorities of East London refused to
let Kessler land and Capt. Burch of
the Kentmere was forced to bring him
to New York.
Kessler had been amiable and in
industrious until he found he would
not be permitted to leave the ship at
East London. He became half fren-
zied then and declared that he would
set fire to the Kentmere and burn all
hands unless he was allowed to go
ashore. His temper cooled as the
ship proceeded and he showed him.

or could not land here. AS an ex-
convict Kessler naturally will be de-
barred. 1t may be many months,
perhaps a year or more, before the
Kentmere, scheduled to sail hence for
Africa, touches a German port, and
meanwhile Kessler may have to work

concern in Wall street, and is likely
to so continue for several weeks to
come. Both call anc time money have
been ruling at very high rates and no
material Improvement is expected I'M
til January next. Bank reserves us
ually run down during the last six
weeks of the year, and it remains to
be seen whether this movement will be
repeated as usual. The high rates for
money last week attracted considerable
sums from the interior, so that this
week reserves should show some i'm
prOvement, unless demands from other
sources have offset this influx from
the west. An easier state Of affairs
prevails in the foreign markets, and
there is less talk of further advance

credit in London has not suffered by
recent events and, while there has
been some curtailment of our obliga-
lions, there has also been little diff
