Setter Pushes Bird on Hat

From the New York Herald.
 Nobody had ever seen a dog act like that on Broadway. He was a brown and yellow, curly haired one, with feet slight y out or drawing, which indicated that ne was Just getting over being a pup
 He chased a woman up two little stems Of one of the closed entrances of the Cri- terion theatre, and there he stood at the bottom of the flight with his long nose at such an agle that a dotted line drawn rom 1t would have touched the stuffed pheasant on her mink hat. His eyes had glassy set to them and his right fore leg had been lifted off the sidewalk in a kind of high-stepping attitude.
 Mad dog!' cried she on the steps, at the top of her voice. Won't anybody save me. Police! police. Where's a po- lceman?"
 She backed nearly to the. door. The dog at the same time. shifted his position and again relapsed into his three-legged pose and a glassy stare.
 From her huff the imprisoned woman took box of confectionery and threw him bonbon after bonbon. The animal was interested for two or three times, and then again resumed joyful sniffing in the direction of the gaudy pheasant wings.
 About the group congregated large throng, which kept at a safe distance. The cry of Mad dog was sounded through Long Acre Square. Persons on the way to the theatres went around the block. The woman on the steps was by this time in mysteries and alternately sobbing and crying Mad dog and Good doggies, good doggie, have some candyr The dog stood still a statue.
 Edging his way through the throng, policeman reached for his revolver.
 Hes going to shoot the mad dog," said hundred voices.
 T wouldn't" said lank man who lounged up. Ut ain't a crime for Gordon setter pup to point at pheasant either in Canandaigua or New York. won't stand for him being shot. Here constable, you take that animal to the pound and I'll pay for his keep. He's good one.'

Sembrich and VanHoose.

Marcella Sembrich, the worlds great est lyric soprano, and Ellison Van H pose, the distinguished and popular tenon will appear in grand concert at the Bir- mingham High school auditorium Thurs day night, April 4. This troupe is mak- ing the great musical furor of the sea- son and Sembrch, now at the zenith of her artistic power, has never been re- ceived in New York with more tumultu- ous appliance, than during the past win ter.
 Many high priced attractions have been on the concert stage within the last few ye@rs, but no artist has ever command ed the large pay that Sembrich receives. She never appears, either in this country or Europe, without big guarantee and the usual guarantee for Birmingham was promptly subscribed by prominent citi- Zens.
 Seats will be placed on sale at Par ker's Nineteenth street store March 23.
 Madame Sembrch is a Galician. She must have been Mozart's age four years, when she, too, attempted the musical feats which challenged the attention of a professor in the Lemberg conservatory. He became interested in her and she be- gan piano lessons with him. The pretty little girl previous to this, had earned bread for herself and her family-her father was poor musician-and had played both the violin and piano in con cert. She sometimes earned five francs one dollar-a day.
 Then Janowitch, a Polish musician, saw her possibilities and introduced her to a young pianist, Stengel by name.
 A romance which has lasted began, and with 1t her first steps towards that goal that afterwards proved to be nothing less than the artistic subjugation of mu- sieal Europe and America.
 Professor Stengel taught her the key board of the piano, which she soon mas tered with that supple wrist and mar vellous fingers of hers, and at his own expense sent her to the well known teacher of piano, Epstein, in Vienna. He 1t was who discovered that she had, in addition to marked abilities as piano virtuoso, sweet, flexible soprano voice.
 Here was a dilemma, here was, indeed. an embarrassment of musical riches. A young girl hardly in her teens, who had at her finger ends the technical re- sources of the piano, the violin and 0 voice that as literally a Klondike in its potentialities. Which road to pur- sue was the anxious inquiry of her near est friends. RolSitansky, the great basso, decided that in her throat lay her future, and so, without relinquishing her hold on her piano or violin she began an ex- haustive series of vocal studies, and was sent by her professor of singing to the celebrated Lamperti In Milan, and there finished and rounded the excellent structure built by other masters.
 What toll she successfully endured, w what intensity she studied, we may see in the finish and glorious style of her singing. Then she sang in Athens, and the tiny timid girl of the little Gal ician village of Wisnewczk became fa- nous, and in Bellini's "Puritani' she easily won the suffrages of a Milanese audience-NIilan is the most difficult city in the world in which to make hit; the entire population being musical in the extreme-and after that 1t was triumphant circumnavigation of the globe,

mon pleas, to be read before the court,
where the matter is still pending.
The evidence tended to show that
the church building was used by the
federal soldiers for almost the entire
duration of the war The building
was built in 1858 or 1859, and was as
good as new when the war broke out.
John Robinson, then a small boy, sold
pie to the soldiers, and hence was able
to tell that the troops occupied the
church and the condition Of the build
ing at the close of the war. There
was fort or trench dug around or in
front of the chureh-a deep ditch,
across which fence rails were laid
angling to prevent a charge. There
was some kind Of a stockade built in
side the fortification, and the bell tow.
er, or cupalo, was torn away and a
small platform built upon the top,
where sentinels would sit all day with
field glasses surveying the country
around for miles. looking for the enc
my. There were no trees on the prai-
rie then to obstruct the view.
The church will probably get $500
or $500 from the government.
