on White Girls i'll the Hill District Of

Think of tifty-seven assaults on white
girls i'll the Hill district of Plttsburg,
Pa. within one month and not single
negro seriously harmed. The very
thought sets the brain seething with
fire In any section Of the South there
would have followed retribution ter
rible and Undesirable Not a single one
of the negroes connected with these
crimes would have escaped In the face
of this condition, as reported by tele
graph Frank Richmond, a negro poll
ticial1, on Saturday announced his can
didacy for police urge appointment,
and declared that Mayor-elect William
a, Magee, the candidate of the old
May machine i'll Pennsylvania, had
promised him the appointment as a re
ward for having the negro vote cast
for Nagce
Richmond supports his claim to the
place with a petition signed by 2ooo ne
groes. and demands that he be appointed
to the Central Police Court, where all
the negroes charged with assaults upon
white women are arralgned. The pre-
amble to Richnond's petition reads:
More than two hundred oolored men
have been sent to joil. Such course
can not continue. The colored man is
entitled to recognition, and with men
of my race, demand Justice by my ap-
pointment to the judgeship."
he petition has caused a disruption
in the Republican party of Pittsburg.

that he had made any prediction prom
is to the negro, but his silence is taken
as an assent by numerous decent Re

There are numerous Southcrners in

shook his finger in the Negroes face and
ordered him to Withdraw and Cease So

only the presence of the police averting
probably what would have been Sc
rlous riot. The anti-negro wing of the
Republican party has canvassers out
over the city obtaining signatures to
petitions addressed to Magee requesting
him to desist from appointing the negro
The preamble to the petitions warns

seventeen of the eighteen eggs placed
under each one In the nests. ut is
curious fact" he continues, that both
Matched off on the same day. and each

her seventeen live chicks by pecking
their brains and laid them in Il row in

Mozart's Outbreak at an Opera Per-
Torrance at MarseiIIes.
Mozart. being once on visit at
Marseilles, went incognito to hear the
performance Of his "Villanella Rapita."
He had reason to be tolerably well
satisfied till in the midst of the princi-
pal aria the orchestra, through some
error in the copying of the score,
sounded u natural where the COM
poser had written D sharp. This sub
stitution did not injure the harmony,
but gave commonplace character to
the phrase and obscured the sentiment
of the composer.
Mozart no sooner heard it than he
started up vehemently and from the
middle Of the pit cried out in voice
of thunder. Twill you play D sharp
you wretchcs"
The sensation produced in the thea
ter may be imagined. The actors were
astounded. the lady who was singing
stopped short, the orchestra followed
her example, and the audience, with
loud EXPLANATIONS, demanded the ex-
pulsion Of the offender. He was ac-
cordingly seized and required to name
himself. He did so, and at the name
Of Mozart the clamOr subsidized and
was succeeded by shouts Of applause
from all sides.
1t was insisted that the opera should
be recommended Mozart was Installed
in the orchestra and directed the
whole performance. This time the D
sharp was played in its proper place,
and the musicians themselves were
surprised at the superior effect pro-
duced. After the opera Mozart was
conducted in triumph to his hotel.
