one purpose and that is to divert at
tention from the gas rate controversy,
which is now pending a decision in
Kansas, Mr.. Longan said. The suits
in the Stars opinion are smoke screens
THE Star is interested in only one
thing. That is an equable gas rate and
the Star does not intend to be diverted
from that issue by a side show, which
in our opinion, this is"

indicated other actions will follow.
The petition filed in the Shawnee
County District Court cites six causes
OF action and asks 81 100000 actual
and Sl,O00,000 punitive damages on
each. Each cause is based on a sepa-
rate article or cartoon published in
the Star.
The sixth cause of action was based
on an editorial reprinted in the morn
ing edition Of the Star from the EN-
poria Gazette. william Allen Whites
paper. The petition alleges it was
written by Whites son. w. L. White

VETERAN OF NEW YORK BENCH
DIRECTS CHILDREN'S ORCHESTRA
udge Leopold Prince Spends Spare Time as
Leader of Musical Organization
of 100 Boys and Girls

1 Haydn's symphonies that never before
had been produced, he said, in this
country.
Metropolitan critics have praised his
work with Mozart, Schubert, Brahms,
Schumann, Beethoven, Tchaikowsky,
and the others. His production OF the
polka from Weinberger's "Schwanda'
drew especial applause.
1t is his belief, the Judge explained,
that by interesting children in music he
is keeping them from hanging around
the docks and pool rooms"
Played in the Mall.
"A boy who is taught to appreciate
good music" he said, will never grow
up to be a gunman or a racketeer."
Judge Princes orchestra had its
genesis four years ago when he and his
wife, his son and two neighboring
youths began playing together in the
Judges apartment for mutual enjoy
ment. Soon other neighboring children
started joining the little group and
crowds began collecting in the streets
below to listen.
In age. his children" range from IS
to 81. Last Summer they played at the
Mall in Central Park to an audience OF
10000 and the program was broadcast.
Now the Judge who has been on the
bench 25 years, is arranging for con-
cert the latter part Of this month in
his alma mater. City College, where he
played first violin in the school orches-
ira. class Of 1900.

SO to $3.50 is commentary on the
lack of finished offerings as well as an
indication of what killers will pay in a
limited way for honestly finished steers
or yearlings.
Although the quality was lower than
last week the demand for fed steers and
yearlings was fairly broad at Kansas
City. The prospects Of any liberal sup
ply Of highly finished steers seemed to
be slim In the opinion Of most Chicago
trade prophets, their belief being based
on the liquidating attitude Of the coun-
try during the last two months
Although the dressed beef market Is
in much better shape than 1t was two
weeks ago the weakening influence Of
q Sc to $3.50 wholesale pork loin mar
ket must still be regarded as a severe
handicap. Accordingly, the last week S
cattle advance must be considered
somewhat forced, so much so in fact
that anything like a liberal run next
week probably will lead to the reac-
tionary markets and sharply lower
prices on the rank and file Of fat cattle.

MONTREAL, Quebec, February 15.-
Pronounced optimism on the business
outlook in Canada during 1882 was con-
tanned in special bulletin released
here today by the Department of Immi-
grafton and Colonization Of the Cana
dian Pacific Railway.
The bulletin reviewed the many en-
couraging factors which developed in
the closing weeks of 1881 and the first
month of 1882 and then quoted from
the official handbook of the Dominion
government as follows:
The great storm of depression would
appear, SO far as Canada is concerned,
to have fairly we'll blown itself out.
The price level, after precipitate de-
cline lasting over nearly two years,
seems to be in fair way to Stabiliza-
ton. and this should bring return Of
confidence among business men and
producers generally. The restoration
of confidence should lead to gradual
increase of employment, greater VOL
ume Of production, and an increase in
the transportation of commodities"
Public finances throughout Canada.
the bulletin pointed out, have borne up
we'll and not single run has developed
on any chartered bank.
In the agricultural industry. soT e
very favorable factors have lately made
their appearance" the bulletin contin-
ued. Wheat farming. live stock farm
ing. and dairy farming have all
witnessed encouraging developments in
recent months. Abundant supplies and
low prices of staple agricultural COM
modities are stimulating both domestic
consumption and international move
ment, and in this feature lies the main
hope of improved agricultural condi-
tons"
Of export trade, the bulletin says:
Despite the general downward trend
Of trade during 1881, number Of
Canadian exports showed increases and
in the month Of December there were
important increases in the exports Of
grain, raw furs, meats, alcoholic bev-
erages. square timber, copper and
asbestos"

musical racketeering on a small
scale; the surprising pleasantness of
the Hindemith "Spielmusik," kindled
to further heights by the soloingS of
Mr.. Wargo's viola; the quiet Charm
of the Roy Harris "Andante" and
the musicianShip Of conductor and
orchestra, the tone produced being
true and mellow and achieving real
excitement in the eXcitable De F'alla

Those who were inclined to Scoff
at the diSSonanceS of the Malipiero

form and substance of the remainder
of the program. The insistent
theme, for instance, of the Harris
"Andante," with its last plaintive
note drawn out to fullest length on
the cello, was well rounded and
highly palatable in shape and sound.
Played faultlessly by the orchestra,
1t seemed a work of quiet beauty
and neither over-imttative nor over-
modern. The Hindemith Spiel
musk, Opus 4S, No. l." although at
moments brusque, was never surly
and far removed from the ca
caphonous soundings of other con-
temporaries, and, of course, the
Rayel "PaVane Pour Une Infante
Defunte" and the Delius "On Hear
ing the First Cuckoo in Spring"
were what they always have been
which, as the ladies say, is Charm
ing"
Lack of time forced part of the
brief De Falla "a Media Noche" out
Of the program, but the manner of
rendition of the familiar Dance
Ritual Del Fuego" made up for
what was lost-in fact, was an ef-
fective crowning point for an in
