Long live Skovgaard; would there
were more like him.
Then his encore numbers were re-
freshing. 1t is long since he really
has had the courage to play Last
Rose of Summer and 'Swaunee River

of these, and the exquisite tones Of
his Stradivarius-and he really owns

loved selections home to every heart.

and every note gave pleasure. %"'1'
Miss Christine Nilsson handled the
accomplishments, playing them with
the taste which one would expect
Skovgaard to exact in complement to
his work. Her achievements are little
short of marvellous"
To hear these artists is an oppor-
tunity that no one should miss. They
are deserving of a liberal patronage.

Associated Pres. to The Evening Time,

@.'TSUSa"sCU 4 ECbb ~ Inc LvcuIu 1ImG9s
Philadelphia, May 1.-THE inter-
state commerce commission today re-
sumed its investigation into the alleg-
ed discrimination in the distribution of
coal cars. The most important wit
ness at the early session of the COM
mission was Michael Trump, general
superintendent of transportation.
Previous witnesses who had testi-
fled concerning the distribution Of
cars, informed the commission that
they had acted under orders from Mr..
Trump. The latter will be required by
the commission to explain the tele-
graphic orders sending special assign
ments of cars to certain coal COM
panies. his will be especially SO in
case of the Bedwin White company's
special order for 500 cars daily hav-
ing been received by Superintendent
Creighton at Altoona for that COM
pany. VIM. A. Patton, assistant to
President Cassat, has been subpoenaed
and will probably be called during the
day.

Machine Is Necessary.
bismarck Tribune.

The Grand Forks Herald has been
reluctantly forced to admit that there
is nothing evil in machine neces-
sarily and that the insurgents of the
state have machine of their own
The Herald insists, however, that the
machine in this state is not of the
right sort Inasmuch as the insurgent
machine has a number of cogs that
were taken out of the present ma
chine at various times, possibly the
Herald will explain how they have
become so suddenly fitted for service
in its reform machine. Has the sane
tifying influence of the Herald changed
them from what they were? Or is the
Herald merely seeking to deceive the
people in its protestations against the
present republican organization of the
state?

Vaudeville.

The Metropolitan theater patrons are
to have an opportunity to have their
weekly Vaudeville program, the open

The great difficulty in the past has
been transportation and also loss of
time to the performers. but as is usual
In case of earnest endeavor success
has been achieved the arrangements
as now made will give us three per-
formances day, and only one day a
week One of the great features at
tanned is the booking of the acts direct
from the Chicago agency and in every
case we will have performers who
have successfully played city time.
SkOvgaard, the eminent yiolinist and
his concert company, including Chris
tine Nilsson, the famous pianist, and
Eleonora Olson, the Norwegian prima
donna, mezzo soprano, will appear at
the First Methodist church Friday
afternoon and evening, May 10.
Skovgaard is an artist of exception
al ability. His execution of the most
difficult composition is marvellous.
His program embraces charming Sc
lections from Mendelssohn, Chopin,
Sarasate, Schubert, Weineawski and
others, besides his own composition.
Skovgaard plays airy triples with in
finite grace and charm as we'll as
viracity, Beethoven with profound
depth, breadth and virility; Bach with
solemn detachment; Mendelssohn with
the right sweetness. sentiment and
power. It is seldom that an artist
can master to perfection music SO DIFF

Eleonora Olson has a beautiful,
sweet, rich voice of great range.
Christine Nilsson is very worthy

FIGURE THIS OUT.
Remarkable Mixture of Relationship
In a New York Town.

From the New York World
If the people of Gouverneur ever be-
gin to figure out the relationships that
are likely to grow out of the several
marriages between members of the Brown
and the Price families here the harvest
of lunatics will be appalling When in
1900 Francis l. Brown. widower, and
Electa NJ. Price. widow. each with three
children. were married there was some
speculation as to how the two sets of
youngsters would assimilate into one
family. Not few pessimists wagged
their heads and sagely prophesied that
there would be a grand "bust-up" sooner
or later.
Brown. with his wife and the six chill
dren, took up his home on the Price
farm, and there. despite the croakers,
all lived in harmony year after year.
And as for assimilation, young Earl
Brown and his stepsister, Alice Price,
fell in love and were married two years
ago. The second step in amalgamation,
with the promise of genealogical compli-
cations was made yesterday, when Eu-
gene Price a brother of Alice Price
Brown. married Lena Brown, sister of
Eugene Prices brother-in-law, the said
Lena taking her husband her own
brotherin-law. having by the marriage
of her brother to Alice Price, her step
sister, become the sister-in-law to her
stepsister, and by her own marriage the
sister-in-law of her full brother, to say
nothing of being double sister-in-law to
the aforesaid Alice Price Brown. Lena's
father and her stepmother are, through
her marriage, her father-in-law and her
mother-in-law, and the same rule applies
TO all four of the children who have mar
ried.
The foregoing is a base for calculations,
II any one dares to discount the future

AMAZING POKER.
Each Player Held Fours and One
Landed In Jail.

From the Spokane Spokesman Review
AS the result of a highly sensational
poker game played in the Golden West
saloon First avenue and Washington
street, Christmas John o'Donnell. very
benevolent looking old man, was tried in
the police court on the charge of being
vagrant. The police claim that the
inonensive appearing Mr.. O'Donnell is
just plain bunko man.
Inc poker game was sensational in
that each player held Tours Carl Kruger
from the country and with money. was
one OF the participants in the great Amer
lean game. Mr.. ODonnell dealt the
cards
Mr.. Kruger sat next the dealer and
had the edge. The gentleman sitting
next Mr. Kruger got four tens on the
deal. He bet $40. The gentleman sitting
next to him had four jacks and raised
the bet $40 Mr.. O'Donnell took sauint
at his cards and raised $40 more
Mr.. Kruger carefully looked his hand
over and saw four queens staring him
in the face. Mr.. Kruger hated to take
the money, but he saw the raise and
made 1t $40 The suddenness with which
he was called somewhat disconnected
him, but he had confidence In his four
queens.
When the hands were laid on the table
Mr.. O'Donnell raked in the pot on the
strength of his four kings Mr.. Kruger
thought over the matter and finally
hunted up the police Patrolman Rolf
arrested Mr.. O'Donnell
While awaiting his trial Mr.. ODonnell
strolled over from the bench where he
was sitting and entered into a brisk con-
versation with Police Matron Tanner.
Then suddenly remembering an engage
ment Mr.. O'Donnell strolled out of the
police court. He was caught and brought
back.
Mr.. ODonnell was very lachrymose
when he faced Judge Hinlkle.
1T is all a mistake, Judge" he said.
81 did not intend to bunko the gentle
man. Most amazing things happen in
poker"
ANY one that can deal such hands as
you seem to be able to do Is too danger
Gus a man to be loose. | will send you
to the county Jail for ninety days"
Judge Hinllle shuddered to think what
would happen to the many poker games
about town II Mr.. O'Donnel should get at
them.

A Much-Needed Condition.
From Lippincotts

AS the lamented Cen Harry Heth of the
late Confederacy was passing through the
country after his advance scouts he came
up with a couple of them feasting on
green persmmons up In persimmon
tree The fruit had just begun to blush
from the sun and to show the fullness
of being almost ready for the finishing
touches of the first frost.
Gen Heth was one of Virginias old
school gentlemen, and never forgot the
courteous training he had received. even
when among his soldiers. who. though
only privates We're yet. many of them.
of as good families as was the general
himself. Seeing his men feastng on the
green persimmons, the general thought
of the condition their stomachs would be
left in and called.
Boys. what are you doing up there?'
Eating persimmons, general, came
back the answer
They will draw your stomachs all up,
boys" returned the general.
That's just what we want general,
something to draw us up to suit the
rations we receive" came back the ready
ars-A-.
