In explanation of the sudden departure
of the musician who was to play before
a valuable house, according to box office
receipts.
It was said that Paderewski obtained
the enmity ot Russian Jews through his
recent contribution to a socialist paper
lt Warsaw," and that, tho nihilists mem
bers of that raco had sworn vengeance
upon him. Operatives of a well known

So many ot the "old rounders" made

a lato hour last night the night force
had placed nothing to Its credit Sonet
of the pollco officers are a trifle super
stitious and believe that the happenings
of the first day of tho year have much
to do with tho transactions during all of
the remainder. Anxiety to start right
would have induced theso officers to
have picked up any fellow who wobbled
a little and- book him as a drunk. But
good resolutions prevented even the
