Twice she gave encores, and in each case they proved one of the real de- iights of the programme, the first a Berceuse from Chopin, interpreted in a meditative mood with a poetic deli- cacy and sureness of touch, and the second a_composition of her own, Kleine Waltz, which was equally charming, Her programme opened with a Beethoven Sonata, in which her abun- dant command of her instrument was shown, and from this she passed to a Chopin group in which her inter- pretive power was shown. After numbers from Schumann, Mac- Dowell and Rubinstein, she concluded her programme with the March-Mili taire (Schubert-Tausig) played with a wonderful display of power. that brought forth prolonged applause and kept the audience in its seats till an encore had been given, FUNERALS.

An oven requires 20 tons of coal each week. producing about 13 tons of coke. The coke sells for $1.65 to $2.50 per ton. Just now the condi- tion of the steel trade has forced down the price of coke.
