Colonel Mlk wee the only one to reach htm before he drove from the station. The two, with Frant Bplndlcr, Kocian'a accompanist. Miss Julio Oeyer, solo pianist and,-her mother, and R. C. Heck, treasurer of the company, took carriages to the Paxton where Koclan will be quartered until after his concert at the Boyd Monday night, except for such time as he will be entertained about town, which will be considerable. The program of entertainment for hlra was Inaugurated last night when several countrymen met him Informally at the home of Mr. Vaclar Buresch, Seventeenth and Center streets. Today he will be a guest at Mr. John Ros- lcky's, 1015 William street, where a dinner distinctly Bohemian Is to be given him and afterward a carriage drive about the city If the weather be propitious and Ko clan favorable. In the evening from 8 to 9:30 o'clock a public reception will be given t Bohemian hall. Thirteenth and Martha that all may have opportunity to meet the distinguished young countryman. No pro gram has been scheduled for Monday as that day Is to be allowed blm far rest and for the practice ho desires previous to the night entertainment In public. t ame Abend of Time. Yesterday's confusion resulted from the first section of train No. 6 being run as train No. 102 which makes few stops and has a lightning schedule. It was known here that Koclan had started on No. 8 and for that reason no one expected him until 6:30 or later. Mr. Roslcky's first notifi cation was when R. V. Mlekovsky met him on the street and remarked he had seen Koclan at the hotel, Frank Zak who was with Mr. Roelcky and who had left Koclan In Denver the night before after an after noon conrert, atan r ocueve it ana Dei a bat on his opinion. Mr. Minkovsky Is gainer by one hat. All the afternoon local Bo hemians and others who had not been In formed of the violinist's arrival haunted the Union station to assist In giving him a welcome and a committee was preparing to go out Into the state to meet hla train. Evei. Mr. Rudolph Aroneon, who Is man avin the lour and I ahead of the artist most of the time, was among the surprised and had to be telephoned for. Didn't Worry the tar. But all this derangement of plans and confusion in reception did not appear to disturb Koclan in the least. He trudged Into the hotel with his three overcoats, hla dress suit case and his never-released vio lin box aa serenely as a grocery drummer, registered for himself In a good, readable hand, with New York aa his headquarters, and rode up to his room on the parlor floor without blinking an eye. Colonel Mlk and Treasurer Heck assisted where pos sible, of course, but Koclan could hava gotten through very nicely without them, for Koclan is a business man as well as an artist. Moreover, he ! a really Jolly ,,Httl chap who Ik not . only .friendly . but sociable to the limit of his English vocabu- , laxy. In this respect he differs some from Kubollk. The latter was cordial, but diffi dent and reserved. He seemed to prefor not to talk, whereas talking Is one of Kocian's delights. When he exhausts his English he calls hla own language or Ger man Into execution for any who may not understand. He Is full of life and warmth and sympathy. It Is claimed for him that he has a feeling in bis playing that Kubellk had not. Certainly he has an animation in his conversation that hla predecessor had not. Whit Me I.ooka Like. He isn't as handsome aa Kubellk, front a woman's point of view, perhaps, but he will win a man In half the time. Kubellk, it will be remembered, was dark and aa dainty and supple as a girl. Koolan Is equally supple and active, but his eyes are bluo, his long hair IS very light and hla mustache a thin blonde affair. His traveling suit Is a business man's gray, and with It he wear a rather awkward dotted blue tie over soft shirt and "turndown" collar. His nimble hands, after the warm clasp of greeting, busy themselves with something every second of the time. Yesterday after noon while chatting with callers It was a key chain that furnished him employment and be pulled it about into aa many differ ent sbapea and positions as a boy could have done. But, Indeed, Koclan Is scarcely more than . HAVE HAD THEIR DAY. Old Fashioned Medicines For Catarrh 'o Longer In Voajne. for many years psst the usual treatment for catarrh diseases was with local douches, sprays. Inhalers and liquid inedlcluea com posed principally of alcohol, all of which never cured but simply give the temporary relief and stimulation. A thorough cure can be made only by the treatment which removes the catarrhal poisons from the blood. A new remedy which meets the require, ments and which so far hss been remark ably successful In curing catarrh Is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. These tablets act upon the blood and mu cous membrane only. They can hardly be classed aa a secret patent meJlcIn as they are composed of such valuable remedies aa blood root, Hydrastin, red gum of Eucalyptus tree and similar antiseptics combined In tablet form, which cure by eliminating from the blood and mucous membrane the poisons of ca tarrh. Smart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleas ant tssting losenges to be taken Intern ally, allowlug them to dissolve In the mouth, thus reaching tho throat, trachea and finally the stomach. It desired they may also'be dissolved la water and used as a douche. In addition to tho internal use, but It Is not at all neces saiT to use a douche; a few of them dis solved In the mouth dally will be sufficient. However, when there Is much stoppage of the nose a douche made from these tableta will give Immediate relief, but the regular dally use Internally will cure the whole ca tarrhal trouble without resorting to the Inconvenience of a douche. J)r. Bennett stated "that the Internal treatment of catarrh by means of pleasant medicated tablets Is rapidly taking the place of douches and local applications" and further aaye that "probably the beat and certainly the safest remedy at present on the market is the Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, as no secret Is made of their composition and all the really efficient catarrh remedies are concentrated la thla tablet." IruKglsta sell Stuart s Catarrh Tableta at 60 cts for full sited package, and they will tell you there la bo safer, more palatable, efficient and convenient catarrh cure knew to lit trad. a boy. He waa born February 12, llii, la the little Bohemian city Wlldenechwert. three hours from Prague, where his father was a school teacher, cne uncle an organist and another a profes'-or of music In the schools. He took up the violin In his fourth yesr, entered the Prague con servatory when 1, and studied with Ku bellk under the celebrsted Sevclk. When 8 years old he bade the acquaintance of Frant "plndler, who has been plsylng his accompaniments from that day to this. Of the $26,000 Ouaraerlus violin, vintage of 1741, given him by Mist Attor and now used In all his concert work, Koclan says little. Possibly he Is modest. Or perhaps he Is merely sensible and knowt when not to talk. His To or of America. His American tour began November 13. when be played In Carnegie ball with Wal ter Damrosch's orchestra of 100 Instru ments accompanying. He was In the east soma time, then south, then at San Fran cisco, where an engagement for five con certs had to be lengthened to Inolude seven. From here he goes to Minneapolis, then to a few Wisconsin cities and back to New York, where he closet hit tour and saila for Bohemia early In April. Later he will go to London for a season and after that to Morocco, Sultan Mullah Abdnl Atlt having extended, through Mr. Aron son, an Invitation to Koclan to be the first foreign Instrumentalist ever to play before him. The young man't career, Mr. Aron on thinks, Is eventually to be that of eon ducting, as his Interest and ambition seems largely to focua In that. He talks of It constantly and la considered rarely gifted for It. The Illness at Birmingham that pre vented hla filling hla engagement here Feb ruary 21 waa the result of a cold, but to severe for a time that Koclan thought his earthly career was to close right there in a very few hours. Frequently be has played, he says, when he felt physically miserable, but Just at present he Is enjoy ing the best of health. ' Enjoys Hie Dally Life. Every foreign artist while touring sayt he "likes America." Koclan aayt this at though he meant It. The enthusiasm and demonstratlveness of the Yankee audience Is what pleases him. But that Is perhaps because he likes enthusiasm and "ginger" In everything. When not studying he de mands a dlvertlsement that has life in It and brings him In touch with animate nature. In San Francisco he was so pleased with the sport of the sea Hone that he wouldn't leave them until Mr. Aronton't legs had grown quite paralysed with wait ing. At Chicago someone started the auto graph erase and the obliging Koclan wrote after a performance until hla wrist and the managerial patience had given out entirely. Always he la cordial and when a caller leaves he receives first a handclasp and then a bow that Is genuinely courtly. Of his skill only the critics are entitled to write. The news chronicler can go no further than the bare statement that be haa mastered 1G0 of the world's classics, some of them requiring forty minutes in their execution. Musicians say he "repre sents a new school" and Is "great" even to the extent of being a phenomenon. The caller only observes that he Is a modest, animated, entertaining and altogether de lightful young chap. Tho Hew Two-Cent Stamps.

UNITED STATES SHIPPING FALLING OFF While Trade Increnaes Wonderfally and People Consnme Marveloasly E I ports to Booth America Hnlt for Want of Vessels. NEW ORLEANS, March 21. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw was the principal guest at the first annual banquet of the board of trade tonight. Oovernor Heard, telegraphing hla Inabil ity to be present, said the flood situation made It necessary for him to remain at the capltol and give Immediate attention to frequent communications from the terri tory affected. Secretary Shaw discussed at some length the results of non-partisan 'politics, refer ring to what It had accomplished In the extension of transportation llnee, the de velopment of the mall service, the Improve ment of rivers and harbors, the expansion of commerce and finally In the determina tion of the American government to con struct the Isthmian canal. American Shipping Falls Oft. Continuing hs said: Now I am going to venture the sugges tion that there is one more opportunity for non-partisan American etattwmunMilp that would be of great advantage not only to New Orleans, but to the gulf states generally. In forty years the foreign commerce of the United Btatea has Increased 4t per cent, but foreign commerce In American bottoms has decreased 6 per cent. Our farms produce more than the farms of any other country In the world; we mine more coal and more iron than any other people; we grow three-fourths of the cotton of the world, and we manufacture more than all the shops and all the fact ories of any other two countries on the map by more than tS.OOO.OOO.OOO. We trans port all of this from port to port al ing our coast, under our flag and In our own ships and more cheaply t-.ian any other country. We carry It over our railroads, at one-third of what It costs In other coun tries, hut when we have produced It and transported it to our shores we have reached our limit and are compelled to cry aloud for help. Bo we ask England and Germany and France and Italy and Spain and Japan to come and help us, and they respond most willingly, but we pay them for their service Jl-vO, 000,000 per an num. It la not surprising then that we take from Brazil, for instance, more than 4i) per cent of all it has to sell and sell It In return only lo per cent of all It has to buy. The marvel la that, being compelled to tend our goods there )n foreign ships, and generally first to Europe and thence to ports of destination, we are not so far discriminated against as to make it Im possible to export anything to South Amer ican countries. Boy Mack More Than Sell. We buy of South American countries 1110,000,000 per annum and eell 13o,i4),OiO. In ten Vears the bMlant at trAd fliralnat us has been 1730,OOi),ouO. i am not advocating any particular ship subsidy measure and If 1 had a vote it would be analnst anv bill that dM not make, as a condition precedent to any gov ernmental aid, the establishment of reg ular steamship communication with South American or South African countries ad jacent islands, or the countries washed by the Pacific ocean. We export In round numbers a billion and a half per annum, and we send two thirds of tnls to Europe. Twenty per cent of the people of the- world will not always consume 60 per cent of our sur plus production. We must neelc new mar. kets. Let no one suppose that elmply opening our ports to the free importation ui luraign mercnanaise win insure corres ponding Increase In the foreign demand for our surplus. Our experience in the West Indies and In South American countries Is a complete demonstration of the fallacy of such a theory. The foreign importer is about the same character of man. as the American importer. He buys where he can buy to the best advantage and without regard to the balance of trade between hie country and tho one In which he buys. We grow In the United States three fourths of tho cotton of the world. We convert one-fourth of the cotton of the world upon American spindles. We export of manufactured cotton, In round number 130,000,0110 per annum, and Import of manu factured cotton 140,000,0110. Assuming that there is as much fibre in the forty millions imported as in the thirty millions exported, the American people consume actually wear out one-fourth of the cotton fibre of the world. 1 doubt that we appreciate the astonishing fact that 6 per cent Of the neoule of the world ran. sume 25 per cent of the cotton fibre of the world. The reason for It Is the marvelous prosperity of the American people. We have ceased to darn or mend and often burn to save laundry bills. Neither 1b this the only astonishing feature of the cotton industry. Tho unrM exports of manufactured cotton 1625,000,000 ui which me united otatea gets uiny a per cem. in oiner words, tne Amer ican market for manufactured cotton is worth fully 20 per cent of the market of the world for the same class of goode. Thli we retain. Oiher countries buy our raw cotton, manufacture It, and because of ineir cneaper laoor, are able . to secure 8t per cent of the export trade on manu factured cotton. Cotton mills have In creased In this country in the last few years marvelously, but they have only kept pace with the consumptive capacity ot our own people. If we shall ever Increase our trade with the countries lying to the south of us or with those washed by the Pacific ' ocen the gulf statra will be benefited thereby certainly as much as any portion of our common country. CASHES CHECK AND REPENTS Farmer from Illinois Recovers Good Honey from Two Cost, dears Men. Hla Henry Specht, from Newton, 111., came very near buying a carload ot phantom merchandise Saturday afternoon, shortly after he had stepped from a train at the Webster street depot, for the sum of 120.
