A Fine Concert.

The concert at the Grand on Friday
evening by Skovgaard, the eminent
violinist, assisted by Miss Olson,
soprano and Miss Nilsson. pianiste,
was one of the rare musical treats OF
the season, and was listened to by a
good sized audience. The wonderful
playing of Skovgaard, the finished and
polished artist, was the admiration OF
all. AS a violinist he is as fine as
anyone ever heard here, and would
be greeted with enthusiasm upon a
return date. The solo work OF Miss
Nora Olson, we'll known here, showed
great improvement over her former
appearances in this locality and de-
lighted everyone, as did the piano
playing of Miss Nilsson, also finished
artist.

From Affluence to Poverty.

NEW York, Feb. 5.-William S.
Meade died in a Park row lodging
house yesterday, %penniless and alone.
aged 80 years. Forty years ago his
wealth was estimated at S25O,OOO. He
made it by an invention for preserv.
ing meat aud lost it in cruises to the
south seas in search of private treas
ures.
Meade was we'll known in Park row
In telling of his cruises he would say
that he fell heir to maps and direc'
tions that promised to lead to buried
wealth amounting to millions. He
bought and fitted q yacht with maps
and plans, started in his first search
soon after the civil war. Disaster,
wreck and p~rivation befell, and Meade
and his crew returned to the United
States empty handed. Successive ex-
petitions were fitted out, but all ended
in failure. In twenty years, in this
manner, Meade sank all his fortune.
OF late years the old man was forced
to peddle gas burners for a living.

OBJECT TO RATE BILL.
Two Members Of Congress Make Speeches
Against Hepburn Measure.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Before the
rate debate in the house today a bill
was passed providing for setting
aside town sites in the Flathead In.
dian reservation in Montana. An
hour to oppose the railroad ate bill
was yielded to Mr.. Littlefeld, OF
Maine.
Mr.. Littlefield believed the pictures
OF distress on the rate question were
entirely too lurid. The proposed leg.
~islation vent too far and he should
vote against it. He had been willing
to 60 as far a. the president had re-
commended in 1904 and 1905. Not q
member Of the house, he maintained,
could say what IL q reasonable rate.
This vas a Of the great and tire.
mendous difficulties presented. In the
zeal with which both political parties
were running q legislative race, they
had gone far beyond the presidents
message.
A remedy for nine.tenths of rate
evils, he said, now exists in all courts
under the present law and the common
law. Under the proposed bill, q
curious and homogeneous condition
was proposed. When the commits.
sion determined whether a rate was
reasonable, it was acting In q judicial
capacity; when it prescribed q rate
for the future it would be legislating,
and when it administered this finding
It acted in an executive capacity.
This was q combine alton OF three func.
tions OF government-legislative, OK.
ecutive and judicial-in one single
body. MI. L~ittlefeld said the COM
mission had been overruled two-thirds
Of the time.
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio said 1t was
not r that there was any popular
demand for the railroad rate legisla-
ton. What there was had been manu-.
featured out of whole cloth in con.
gress. There never had been such a
"fake" issue launched. Rebates con.
stituted q legitimate complaint.
"This bill was born at the dawn OF
a political millennium" he said.
"All the angels sang together the
same tune the day it was reported"
He said that by very cute language
the bill left out sleeping cars and
asked why not put In the bill plainly.
The bill in operation would kill all
competition. He said he would aid in
getting the bill out of the house as
quickly as possible.
