StoesseI Condemned.

Gen. Stoessel has been condemned
to death. Gen. Fock has been repri-
manded, and Gems. Smirnoff and Reiss
have been acquitted. The court recon-
mends that the death sentence upon
Stoessel be commuted to 10 years i'm
prisonment in a fortress and that he
be excluded from the service. The
judges were locked up over 80 hours
for their final deliberation over the de-
cision, following a trial that lasted for
weeks. in which scores OF witnesses
were examined
1t is generally considered that the
judges were strongly prejudiced from
the start in favor of condemning the
old soldier to clear the skirts of per-
sons higher up of guilt in connection
with the great military disaster that
overlook Russia at the hands of japan.

as one of the most fearful in criminal

The Taft Boom.

The Taft managers believe they are
on the last lap of the race for the
nomination of their favorite. They are
taking steps to secure second choice
pledges in the several 'favorite son"
states, and already the signs of sue
cess are visible. Some time ago it
became apparent that Cannon would
be able to control the Illinois dele
gates for himself. but that he would
not be able TO deliver them to any re-
dictionary candidate. This was also
found TO be true of Fairbanks in In
diana and Knox in Pennsylvania. The
Taft managers have arranged to take
advantage of this situation, and thus
IL seems likely that Taft will secure
most OF the "favorite son" votes as
soon as complimentary balloting is
over.

1860 At the early age of three he
began to play the piano. His bent
toward music was nurtured by his
father. and at 20 Jan was sent to
Berlin to study harmony. His first
ambition was to become a composer.
but he afterward determined to mas
ter the piano, and he placed himself
under Leschetiszsky That noted mas
ter found a willing and able pupil in
the young Pole. and Paderewski adj
vanced with a rapidity and a thor.
oughness that startled even his eX.
perienced teacher His debut was
made in Vienna and was all that he
could have wished for. His genius
delighted and thrilled all who heard
its manifestations. and his fame soon
became worldwide. In 1889 he made
his first appearance before a Partisan
audience and year later he was
heard in London. Then came his first
American tour, which is said to have
cleared the pianist more than $3.50,
900.
