Rubinttiin Proved Hit Ability and Secured
Hie Put.
I When Rubinstein, the composer. wet
a youth he left Russia. hU native
country, to study music in Krance and
Germany. He finished his studies when
he was twenty years old and then re- j
turned to St. Petersburg But before
he could begin to give public recitals
^|lt was necessary that he should have
a pass from the police authorities. It
^Btvas true he was a Russian subject and
a very JnotTeuslre young man, But
he had lieen absent from We natire
land some time. He might hav?
^ imbibed revolutionary idea a when |
^?f*inOad, and It was best not. to take
^^^Tany risks, but have him registered and
Kept under surveillance.
Rubinstein applied to the police for
a pass, but, probably because be was
shy and mild mannered every official
bullied him and gruffly passed him
^B to another official'equally rude and
pcetoeflrlng. Finally he became so
tired of the Indignities that he went
H to see the governor general He had
just begun to tell his story when that
H dignitary roared;
' "You a musician? Pah! I'll put yott
in irons arlfl send you to Slberlal
^B That's the only fit place for Such aa
you!"
Rublustclu nearly fainted from
fright, but he got away aa best he
H ,?uld. The days went by, and still no
H pass came to him. Some of his friends,
?however, knew of the treatment he
B had received. One day Rubinstein was
summoned to appear beore the chief
of police. General Gallcboff. He had
to watt three hours. At last he was
called Into the great man's presence
and addressed as follows:
|"* "Well, young man, I - have been
spoken to about you. I am told that
B you are some sort of musician, but 1
B don't believe anything of the kind.
B Go to my chief secretary, Schesnok,
B and play for hlhl, so that we can tell
If you really are a musician?that Is, a,
taan who understands music." '
All this was said in a eo'_,ren\phlou?
tone. Rubinstein was t^'sen t? the secretary,
who was possessor of thh
jnost wretched piano Rubinstein tV*
had heard, much less played '<&. He
wfls angry and dlsguslpd, Wid a
thought flashed across bfiA. Hero was
an opportunity to be Vcvenged for the
insults heaped u?oh him. He would
vent, bis Indignation, on the piano.
Alid so bo. did.. He pounded and hammered
the p0qr instrument until it
seemed *(0 shriek. The discordant
notes T.'hich came from it, falling upon
his delicate car, served but to increase
^ils rage and frenry. It was as if a
cyclone was at work. String after
string snapped, and the unhappy secretary
stood by, expecting every minute
that his bclovod'tnstvumeut would
fly Into splinters. At last Rubinstein |
stop-pel from sheer exhaustion. I
'Co . with me." said the secretary.
And I'.i'. pianist followed him into
the p . ' tare of the chief of police.
"It i- your excellency," be said.
"Rr! ;:v "in I* a great musician."

Blight earthquake visited this city last
night. Two distinct shocks were felt by
citizens in different sections of the city
between 9 and 10 o'clock. The first
one occurred about 9:30, and the second
a few minutes later. The shocks I
were very mild, and did no damage to
property, but several house* Were
shaken. The rattling of doors and
windows caused the Inmates to think
burglers were trying to affect an entrance,
and the police station was besieged
with telephone calls until it was
learned thnt the disturbance was due to
an earthquake.. The shocks were very
distinct, and lasted for two or three
minutes.
