LOCAL MUSICAL WORLD

AXMvnnsAnins or great COMPOSERS THAT OCCIH THIS WEUK, Maalral Note of Local nnd General Interest wi of the Theatrical World. Musicians generally, and especially vocalist?, will be glad to know that to-day commemorates the birth of Lulgi Arditl, the celebrated Italian song writer, who was born at Crescentlne July 22, Arditi was well known as an operatic conductor. Ills best-known tongs are "II Bado," LArdlti" and "Lc Tartorelle." Another rausicUn whofe birth will be celebrated this week Is Otto Singer, the noted pianist end composer, who was born at Sara, Saxony.' July 25. 1S33. Finger ramft to this country In IS57. and was conductor at the first Cincinnati May festival, which was held in lie died In New York Jan. 3, Vladimir de Pachman, one of the most roted piano virtuosos of the repent time, ha a birthday this week, having been born it Odessa July 27, IM?. De Fachman has toured this rojutry several times, and his recital in Indianapolis during the reason of 13-91 will be well remembered. He Is perhap the be?t known living interpreter of Chopin's works. In the death of Mr. C. II. Weegman Indianapolis has lot one of its most thoroughly trained and conscientious musician. It is said that after completing his prelude and fugue In G minor which was dedicated to the late . Ft. A. Xcwland he i-ent it over to Prof. Faisst. the leading authority on theory in the world, for correction. Much to the composer's surprise the pie-'.-e was returned to him without a finple correction having: been made and a little note stating that the manuscript was written and constructed perfectly. He had a few pi-ces published, some of which have had a steady sale ever since their advent on th musical market. HI b?t effort was a waltz which he composed some years aeo. but which has never yet been published. The peculiarity of this waltz lies In the fact that every measure forma a beginning and. ending. It is so peculiarly constructed that one may commence with any measure and still find the phrase intact. He also compiled a hymn book and several anthem books. Pome of the city's best pianists have studied with Mr. Weegman. amonc them being Mrs. W. R Barry, Miss Thlrra Isensee. Mrs. J. R. Lilly. Mrs. George Haerle, Mrs. Henry Jameson and Ml.s Elizabeth Cooper. It ha$ often ben remarked that this la an age of .specialization, and it may be said that this applies to music and music study in a way now as nver heretofore. The musical, kindergarten seems to be the most absorbing specialty, and it is a very Interesting study and bound to leave Its Impress upon thn?e commencing the study of music. The Concert Goir devotes considerable space to the work now being done in this line-by Miss Katharine Burrows, who has a large school in New York city, and comments upon the origin of the method, its effect, and how it interests the children. It Is to be hoped that something of the kind will soon be attempted in thhs city. Much -interest Is being shown In the third annual Saerfgerfest of the Indiana and Ohio Saengerbund, which convenes this afternoon and Monday afternoon. Interesting programmes have been prepared and societies Jrom the various cities throughout Indiana and Ohio will sing. Prizes will be given .for the . club making the be.t f ho wing.

NEW JERSEY BIRD STORY. Magpies Said to lie Destroying Flocks of Sheep. Trenton Special in New York Evening Sun. A number of the common magpie have been discovered in the hollow of an old tree on the place of Farmer E. B. Umpleby, on the Baptist road, six miles north of Raven Rock. Hunterdon county. How long the birds have been in this region can only be guessed at. but their discovery has evidently saved Michael Rariton, a worthless dweller of the hills, from a long term in the New Jersey State Prison. For months the farmers of the neighborhood have been up In arms because of the mysteriously committed thefts. Pigeons by the score have been carried off and young chickens and ducks to the number of several hundred have disappeared. Watchers have been unable to locate the thief. Boys have been stationed in barnyards during the night and during the day, but they could throw no light upon the thefts committed even while they watched. Finally, about three weeks ago. "Mike" Rariton was seen with a pigeon. feather In his hand and he was at once taken into custody and In the public mind was forthwith set down as the thief. But scarcely had "Mike" been placed safely behind the bars when Farmer Umpleby discovered that six of his lambs were without eyes. An examination, was made and Veterinary Surgeon T. R. Willows declared that the eyes had been plucked out of the lambs by a sharp instrument. He could not tell exactly how or when the cruel act had been done, but he was certain that the person or persons guilty of the deed knew something of surgery. As Rariton was credited with having studied medicine before taking up his abode in the hills he was charged with this act of cruelty. Rarlton's protests of Innocence were disregarded by the incensed farmers, and it was even hinted that there should be a hanging bee in the woods, but wiser heads prevailed and the rrisoner was sent to jail. Yesterday afternoon Charles Pepper, the young sportsman from New Hope. Pa., just across the Delaware river from Lambertville, received permission to hunt on the several farms on the Baptist road. While lying in wait In a clump of brush for a shot at a wary meadow lark Pepper says he was startled by the cry, in an almost human voice: "Pay. pay, pay! Pay, pay, pay!". Pepper had read of the escape of a lunatic from the Trenton Asylum the day before, and concluding that it was he that was making the noise, he dropped into the brush to hide, and. if possible, he says, capture the crazy man when he approached. Scarcely had he hidden, he says, when several noises in the distance shouted in chorus: "Pay. pay. pay! Pay, pay. pay!" In a few seconds he saw Farmer Storm's flock of sheep, that had been quietly grazing about a quArter of a mile up the hill, come rushing at a dangerous gait down the steep embankment toward where he was lying in the brush. He noticed, too, he says, that several of the lambs ran astray of the flock and were apparently bewildered. Their actions were so strange, he says, that they fixed their attention for a time on some object, and ho lost sight of the main flock. "The flock of sheep got to within 10 yards of me before I again watched them," said Pepper. "Suddenly they commenced to scatter in all directions and seemed thoroughly demoralized. Then I saw four of the sheep topple over as if shot dead on the spot. I jumped up and rushed toward the sheep to see what the matter was, when Ave large, strange birds, of many colors, arose from the midst of the flock of sheep and darted like an arrow for a hollow tree at the edge of the wood. Unfortunately for me, I had left my gun in the brush when I rushed to see what the trouble was with the sheep. When I examined the fallen sheep I found blood trickling down their jaws, and I saw that their eyes had been plucked out. Then I caught and examined some of the lambs that acted so queerly a few minutes before, and I found that they were without eyes that their eyes had evidently been plucked out some days before. I then got my gun. and going to the hollow tree I soon rattled out one of the big birds, and with two shots brought him down. Later I got another, but I couldn't find the other four of the six I saw, nor'do I know how many more there are in the neighborhood. I'm certain that those are the birds that have been plucking out the eyes of the sheep and lambs In the neighborhood, and I know that everybody Is satisfied that those are the birds that have been stealing the pigeons and tho chickens and ducks, because we found feathers enough In the tree hollow to stuff a bed, to say nothing of chicken, pigeon and duck legs. Consequents Mike Rariton was released at once, Farmer Umpleby going his ball, and he Is now living on the fat of the land, for everybody is certain that he had a narrow escape from a long term in prison because they caught him with that pigeon feather." The birds shot by Pepper are undoubtedly the common magpie. The strange part of their presence in this locality is that they are a bird of the northern region. Last March an ermine was found on Farmer Umpleby's place. This is an animal of the Arctic region, and the farmers are now discussing the possible changed formation of the country about Hunterdon- county hills. The magpie has never before been seen nearer to the Atlantic than the head of the Red river, in Louisiana, according to Mr. Richardson, the well-known naturalist. It is exclusively a native of the fur countries, but has often been found, in stray groups, In the interior of Texas, and even in Louisiana. The common magpie has never been known to suffer from cold, but In the colder latitudes the young have been known to assault horses when . suffering from hunger. Macgllllvray and Audubon, the greatest naturillsts of their day, say the magpie is a bird to be feared in a barnyard, but they both declare that it will not thrive except In the north. The two shot by Pepper measured about eighteen Inches. They correspond In every detail to the descriptions of the magpie. The tail feathers are of unequal length, the bill and feet are black, the pie Is of pure white. There is a considerable Interest in the birds' In Hunterdon county, and the farm crs are out In force In an endeavor to capture or kill the remainder of the flock. It is believed that fifty sheep have been de stroyed by the crudest of birds, and while one is allowed to live In the locality the farmers of Hunterdon cannot rest In peace.

VEGETARIAN COOKERY

311X11 IN THIS LINE MAY BE LEARNED FROM LATIN PEOPLES. necelpt of Special Value for Warm Weather The Importance of SeasoningValue of Oil New' York Evening Post. Although the Latins are almost Invaria bly great meat eaters, many of their dishes offer to the palate of the vegetarian a fare at once wholesome and piquant. Of course, the ingredients used In preparing such dishes will be of a like kind, if not the same as those chosen for the seasoning of meats. This, perhaps, will account for the impression of strength or heartiness that the diner gets while eating a course made up of vegetables. All housekeepers are now convinced of the need of care In the preparation and cooking of vegetables, and the attention to be given to their seasoning. When in addition to these considerations the foundation of the dish is treated as having a value equal to fowl. It Is easy to understand how substantial becomes the food manufactured out of a handful of "garden stuff." Many people who are not professed vegetarians are glad to adopt for summer a diet that will give necessary sustenance nnd Is not heating, and such persons will find with surprise that the Latins can supply thi3 kind of food In many varieties. That it Is not the fatty quality of meat which Is found gastronomically distasteful in the spring of the year, seems to be proved by the disposition to feed on things requiring In their preparation butter or vegetable grease. The taste for oil shows also that the system demands some food of a lubricating kind, and such an ingredient used discreetly furnishes that which, if sought in a meat diet, can only be obtained in connection with the fibrous fleshy substance that is Just what the digestive organs are wearied with working upon. IMPORTANCE OF OIL. It may be argued that many people cannot eat oil, but it will be observed that most of those who dislike It are great butter-eaters, and it is thus not the greasy quality they object to in the oil, but the flavor. Such persons are apt to forget, If they are not ignorant of the fact, that while the oil supplies pure vegetable fat the butter only gives animal grease. It Is certainly advisable to cultivate a taste for oil. No one can rightly judge of Latin dishes who does not eat them prepared in the native way. To those well acquainted with the worth of green peppers it is not necessary to recommend this dish, but there may be persons who fancy that anything bearing the name must be hot and biting to the tongue. Sweet green peppers are the kind chosen for a dish of this kind. The sweet green peppers are usually more round in form than the hot variety. In any case one must be careful not to bruise or pierce the seeds, as these Impart the undesirable quality of flavor. The vegetable is first parboiled until moderately tender, this being ascertained by testing with a fork. When done the blossom end is cut open and the seeds and pulp extracted. The shell thus left is fiield with a stuffing made of bread soaked in gravy or cream and seasoned with salt, grated cheese, onion or garlic and bound with beaten egg. When the mixture Is ready the shells are stuffed and over the whole is dusted grated cheese. Put Into a- moderate oven, the baking is gradual and melts the cheese into a line glaze. Force-meat is also used as filling tor the pepper shells. Palpette is purely Italian. Although primarily having for its foundation meat, it is equally good combined with hard-boiled eggs, chopped fine, or with minced fish. A small onion, a handful of parsley, three or four stalks of relery and a clove of garlic are minced together and fried in a little butter. When brown, two cupfuls of chopped egg (or fish) and bread that has been soaked in water are added, with two or three tablespoonfuls of grated cheese, a pinch of marjoram, salt, pepper, and two raw eggs beaten into the whole, if the mixture' Is not stiff enough to form into balls add more bread or dried crumbs. Fry the balls in boiling oil. Serve with lettuce or with a brown gravy. AN ITALIAN PIE. To make torta, Italian pie, wash thoroughly a peck of spinach and boil it with oil and salt. Have ready about a pint of pot cheese which has been well pressed. Beat It until the lumps are gone, adding salt and milk and a little flour. Before the spinach is quite done take it from the pot. chopping it fine in a bowl with cheese. A pie crust must have been prepared, and this, to be elastic as well as flaky, is made with flour wet with oil and eggs. It Is capable of being rolled exceedingly thin, and a pan is covered with many layers, one on top of the other, and pressed into the turves of the dish. The spinach is then spread over the pan. It forms a thick tilling, and in this several nests are formed. Into which raw eggs are dropped. Iayers of pie crust close the dish, as many layers being used for the top as for the bottom crust. A moderate oven is best for the successful baking of the torta. An omelet is made by putting a pint neasure of stale bread to soak in water. When .soft, minre It fine. Fry three onions in very hot oil, and while they are cooking beat well five or six eggs and also chop up separately a small bead of salad lettuce, chicory or escarole. a handful of parsley, and a clove of garlic. When the onions are brown throw into the pan the chopped salad; toss this a moment, then add the parsley and garlic. This must be merely stirred with the other when the eggs which have been mixed with the tread are added. The whole must be stirred constantly until the eggs are set, when It should be left to brown. Put a platter over the pan and turn the omelet out. returning It to the pan to brown the other side. Serve with sprigs of freh parsley. The pleasant bitter taste of escarole is particularly agreeable when one has grown weary of starchy vegetables or sweets. To make a dish of macaroni with escarole, prepare two or three heads of the salad, washing It well and cutting into inch-long pieces. Put it to cook In salted boiling water. When half done throw into the same pot half a package of macaroni finely broken. When this is nearly cooked, add a cupful of oil, and when quite done add tomato sauce, stirring while it mixes with the other Ingredients. This sauce Is made simply with a can of tomatoes flavored with garlic and parsley and stewed with a few mushrooms. A SPANISH DISH. For Spanish stuffed tomatoes use a brand of canned tomatoes that gives the vegetable whole and sufficiently firm. Fresh tomatoes are preferable. This is a Spanish dish. In preparing it the cooks do not skin the tomato. The heart is cut out, the hollow scooped well and filled with a mixture mde of the extracted heart, chopped fine with bread crumbs and parsley, seasoned well, and flavored with a drop or two of garlic Juiced Grated cheese or a beaten egg Is stirred in with the mixture, and cheese Is sifted over the top. Lumps of butter are laid over the tomatoes, and they are basted while baking. When ready to serve they should, be brown. A similar treatment is used for stuffed potatoes, only the potato is usually partially boiled first. The center is scooped out In the same way, seasoned, and returned to the shell. If abstinence from meat is not desired the filling may be of minced meat, spiced, and flavored with garlic and moistened with drippings or a bit of salt pork laid on each potato. Still another variety of stuffed vegetable is turnip. This is treated In a similar way, but must be almost thoroughly cooked before It Is stuffed, and little if any of the extracted heart Is used for the filling. Bread crumbs are substituted, very little moistened, but held together with beaten egg and seasoned with cheese and onions. No more foreign concoction than beans on toast can be Imagined, but no one who eats of It falls to ask for a second help. Put a half pint of white beans to soak In , lukewarm water. Leave them soaking all night. In tb mornins put them in fresh

water and allow them to cook very slowly. -Meantime a handful, or a little more, of dried mushrooms must have been well soaked, washed and minced with two onions, three or four stalks of celery, a handful of parsley, a pinch of sage and a clove of garlic These ingredients must be fried In a little hot oil. When the beans have become soft, the water having. boiled nearly away, a half can of tomatoes should be poured over them, and then the mushrooms, etc.. the whole cooking slowly for a few minutes, when It Is ready to serve on dry toast. SOME SWEET DISHES. All sweet dishes need not be frozen to be appetizing in hot weather. Dolce Italiano may be allowed to become thoroughly cold, but will not require to be put through a freezer. It Is" a sort of caramel custard or pudding, and Is nutritious. Put four tablespoonsful of powdered sugar In a mold and allow It to boll without water. When melted and thickening, rub it well over the entire mold, which Is then filled with the following mixture: Seven eggs, wea beaten, with seven tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar and a quart of milk. Any desired flavoring may be used. Poured Into the sugar-coated mold, this is set In a pan of boiling water until the custard thickens, tnen cooled quickly In a pan ot cold water. To serve, it must be hastily dipped In boiling water, then turned out on a dish. A garnish of figs or of preserved quinces may be used. Leche dulce, a Spanish sweet dish that is extremely simple is made of milk and sugar only, with a dash of flavoring, usually bitter almonds. Flavoring extracts are almost unknown in Spain, so that a taste is imparted only by means of the bean or nut itself. To two quarts of milk add a pound of sugar. Allow this to boll slowly until thick. It will then be a white glutinous mass the consistency of boiled starch. It is too rich to be eaten In great quantities. Preserved ginger served with it adds to its excellence. Aravy con leche, or rice with milk, sounds like a most simple compound. Milk is added from time to time as the rice boils, and also sugar sufficient to Fecure a jelly-like consistency. When thoroughly cooked the rice is turned out on a platter and powdered with sugar and cinnamon, or it is glazed by means of a hot shovel or Iron held close to it. It is served cold and usually with preserved fruits. In a similar way an omelet that Is meant for a sweet dish Is glazed and browned. In this case the omelet Is made only with eggs and milk, and, being browned on both sides on the pan. is turned upon the platter and thickly dusted with sugar. The heat of an iron grill held close to It melts the sugar and produces the glaze. 'Another touch is added by pouring two tablespoonfuls of rum on the dish and setting fire to it. This makes the omelette au rhum of French fame.

GREAT TAE-PING REBELLION. A Bit of Chinese History Recalled by Recent Occurrences. Philadelphia Press. The great Tae-Ping rebellion In China originated In a package of American missionary tracts printed in Chinese. In 1S33 the Rev. I. J. Roberts, an American missionary in Canton, handed the tracts to Hung Slu Tsuen, a young Chinaman of towering ambition, who was embittered because he had repeatedly failed to pass the Chinese civil-service examination. By this act millions of persons lost their lives. Hung Slu Tsuen declared that the tracts were the key to visions he had seen and began preaching a new religion which somewhat resembled the doctrines of Christianity. It included a "Venerable Man" in the heavens, with a golden beard, who removed from Hung his old heart and gave him- a new heart; an address by this "Heavenly Father," who said all men ate his food and wore his garments, but worshiped demons, and a middle-aged man who called himself Hung's "Elder Brother," and taught him how to slay demons with the "Sword of Faith." The demons were the idols. The "Elder Brother" wasthe intermediary between the "Heavenly Father" and misguided men. Hung's disciples called themselves the "Church of God." They demolished temples and idols and Hung lived among cattle to show his humility, and abandoned his queue and let his hair grow long, as a token of disavowing the Manchu demon dynasty. He followed a career strangely like that of John the Baptist. In 1850 a rebellion arose in the Canton province, owing to the wretchedness of the people, and the rebels declared themselves followers of the true God, seeking to establish the Tae Ping or "Great Peace." Soon the humble preacher, who had abased himself as a herder of cattle, assumed the title of Tien-Wang, or "King of Heaven," and a great Insurrection against the Manchus inflamed middle China. In 1S53 Hung Slu Tsuen. now hailed as a member of the Holy Trinity, with God and Jesus Christ, commanded a vast army led by gejierals. to whom he gave the rank of kings. . He took the great city of Nan-King and put 20.vv people to the sword, after the example of the Old Testament. He declared that he had come to punish the idolaters with fire and sword. At this point, when the cattle herder was raised to a pinnacle equal to the first successes of Mahomet, he retired into seclusion to meditate, and the imperial forces laid strong siege to his capital. Nan-King. But the divine rebel gave no sign and refused to see his Kings, who humbly sought an audience. When the situation was desperate he ordered the soldiers to sing a chant expressing faith in the interposition of God. and. sure enough, after the Tae Pings had sung and shouted this acclaim to God the imperial armies besieging NanKing were scattered and the divinity of the cattle herder was rendered doubly certain to his followers. In ISM-fin. while the Imperial government was at war with the powers, the Tae Tings grew in rtrength and held undisputed sway In middle China. But, so vast is the Celestial empire, that it may contain several rebellions at the same time be at war with the powers and yet have peaceful provinces left, and continue to hold court at Peking as if nothing were going on. The foreigners in China at this time were harassed by both the Tae Pings and the animosity of the Peking government, which, in spite of the rebellion, displayed a disposition to fight all of Europe. So. while tho foreigners were threatened bv both the Peking forces and the Tae Pings, the legitimate dynasty was fighting the Tae Ping rebels and the powers, and the Tae Ping, in. turn, were attacked by both imperial armies and the English and French troops. These complications resulted In foreign Intervention in 18C2 and I he crushing of the sreat rebellion in 1S54 bv the "Ever Victorious" army under Gen. "Chinese Gordon." Extreme Politeness. New York Commercial Advertiser. An Englishman recently returned from China says that the politeness of the literati in that country is extreme. They refer to each other's productions in language of superlative commendation, and record of high marks in passing civil-service examinations is one of the highest honors. The application of this language of compliment to Chinese journalism makes an odd effect, not unlike that of the high-flown talk of a Hindoo baboo. This is the way In which a Chinese editor told a contributor that his manscript was unavailable: "Illustrious brother of the sun and moon! We have read the manscript with delight. By the bones of our ancestors we swear that never have we encountered such a masterpiece. Should we print it. his Majesty, the Emperor, wouid order us to take It as a criterion and never again print anything which was not equal to it. As that would not be possible before ten thounsands years, all tremblingly we return tby manscript and beg thee ten thousand pardons. See my head Is at thy feet, and I am the slave of thy servant."
