We intended it to be so from the commencement, and we shall make a special effort to have our store continue to be a place of attraction and of merit.

We feel that it is our duty to the gentlemen who have so generously supported us to manifest our appreciation of their favors, which has enabled us to attain the excellence we pride ourselves on. Our relations with our friends and customers are delightful. ow and then we have our little misunderstandings, but tbey are quickly set to wright. as the spirit of fairness and our high sense of honor speedly heal any trilling wounds that have been made.

The handsome assembly room of tha Gen esee Valley Club was filled last evening by an audience gathered from the most refined and cultivated circles of Rochester. The occasion was that of a recital by Richard Hoffman, the well-known pianist, and the attraction was sufficient to render necessary the filling of all the available space with sit ting accommodations. The sale of seats was limited to the capacity of tha room, else many more would doubtless have availed themselves of tbe opportunity to hear the distinguished artist. Mr. Hoffman is a pianist who has long held a secure place in tbe regard of must cians and lovers of music His tour with Jenny Lind first brought him into promi nence before American audiences, and ha played with Henri Appyon the first appear ance of that distinguished violit.ist in New York.

Mr. Appy says that young Hoffman was one of the most industrious students he ever knew. Certain it is that th3n, scarcely more than a boy, be achieved many substantial and speedily stepped to the front rank of pianists in this country, Iu New York his services as a solo pianist have long been in frequent demand and in the essential elements of refinement, intelligent interpretation and graces of style he has steadily maintained a high artistic standard. Hence it was that those comprising the audience last evening were prepared for something truly excellent in the way piano playing, and that their anticipations were realized, was shown by the enthusiastic applause which broke forth at intervals throughout tbe programme. Mr.

Hoffman first played the Sonata, op. 26, by Beethoven. It is a composition which most advanced students have attempted, and consequently one whose interpretation was listened to with interest. Though evidently suffering somewhat from fatigue, owing to his hurried journey from New York, Mr. Hoffman brought out its beauties with fidelity to its rpirit, and at the end, had so warmed up to his work that the execution the lat movement was a perfect model of dslioacy and purity of rapid execution.

The Harmonious Blacksmith," by Handol, followed and new revelations of its quaint beauty seemed to spring from the hands of Mr. Hoffman. Then there was a gavotte by Bach, and a group of three selections from Chopin an Etude in A flat. Nocturne in minor, and Ballade in minor. These are representative works of their author, and if at times thora was a lack of that sentiment which is a generally accepted requisite in Interpretations of this composer, there was a repose, a grasp of their meaning, and a musicienly earnestness which left a feeling ot complete satisfaction and pleasure in the minds of the listeners.

Others of Mr. Hoffman's selections were a Novelette, by Schumann a Moment Musicals, by Schubert, Spinning Song, Wagner-Wollenbaupt; Scherzo, from Men-. delssohn's Scotch Sympathy, transcribed by Mr. Hoffman, a Cuban Dai.ce, by Mr. Hoffman, and several minor compositions.

It will be seen that the programme took a wide range and covered many schools ot composition. Mr. Hoffman exhibited his versatility and his high attainments throughout. Unaffected in demeanor, never straying outside of tbe legitimate demands of the work before him, yet fuliy equal to them at all times, his playiag is eminently satisfactory, and full of charms which elicit spontaneous bursts of approval. Such was the case last night, and even at tbe end of tbe programme the audience was loth to depart, lingering in their seats and clamoring persistently for more.

But the programme had been long end taxing to tbe player, who would only bow his acknowledgements, and finally there was a reluctant leavetaking. Interspersed with the piano selections were some most acceptable vocal numbers by W. D'Enyer, a comparatively recent acquisition to tho musical profession in Rochfster. There were many who had not before heard this gentleman, and who welcomed the opportnuity to do so. He sang Liebeslied, from "Die AValkure." by Wagner, and "The Cry of Love, by liotoli.

He has a finely cultivated voice and his efforts elicited such warm tokens of approval that he was obliged to respond with an extra selection. As a whole, tbe entertainment wus a delightful one, and those who partook of its pleasures have reason to extend the most hearty thanks to the enterprising members of the Genesee Valley Club. THE NEW BRIDGE. Plans for the Driving- Park Avenue Structure. Plans end specifications fcr the new Driving Park avenue bridge have been received, and tads are advertised for its construction.

These bids will be opened on the 15th. The contract calls for the completion of tbe bridge by the 1st of December, and places a forfeiture ot $100 a day for any over time. The estimaled cost is 110, 000. The plans were drawn by L. L.

Buck, ot Now York city, and call for a simple yet strong and beautiful structure. The total length of the bridge exclusive of the abutments will be 705 feet, divided as follows Two western approach spans ninety-three feet each, one eastern approach span 103 feet, arched span 416 feet. The width of tha bridge between tiie hand railings will be thirty-five feet divided thus: Carriageway, twenty feet; side walks, seven and one-half feet each. Tho width of tbe arch at the ekewbacks will be forty-six feet and at the crown twenty-four feot five inches. The crown ot the arch will be fourteen feet bo-low the Scorings ot tha bridge and sixty-seven feet ahove tle skew backs at its base.

The distinguishing feature will be tbe single arched main span -lib' feet in length. This span will be cue ot the widest iu tho country. The only arches which will compare with it in magnitude are tbe three arches resting on abutments which span the Harlem river. These arches are each somewhat over 400 feet. The banks of the river on either side form a second bank or natural abutment 10 feet from the surface of the river and about eighty feet from tbe top of the bridge.

These banks are of solid rock more sub-tantial than any which could possibly be buiit by the hand ot man. The natural provision obviates the necessity of constructing abutments and cuts down the expense of the bridge to the amount indicated in the plans. Men's Furnishing Department.

The following communication can be resri with interest and needs no salt to season as the sheets of the iaanucript are each of a different color. To the Editor of the Democrat and Chrosicu, Sir: In the multitudinous lay-offs durlnr the winter months In a great city, very mw men are driven to their wits end to flnj how to keep tbe wolf from their door Hence they are prompt to attempt any', thing that offers the smallest prospect tangible reward. This being for the nones our Bituatien, we sallied forth one cold dsy with a book under our arm, to attempt th impossible, in other words, to attempt to persuade gentle folks, who were sure they did not went any book, that they did. This feat being the true test of the geouint successful book agent. Breakfast well out of tho way, and everybody supposed to in that satisflai condition of stomach that renders them well disposed and approachable even by a book ogent, we sallied forth onto a prominent avenue to try our powers of persuasion on its well-to-do people.

is a principle with us not to step beyoad tha limits of the gentleman, even in busmen, for the most flattering prospect of gain. Consequently uniform courtesy was shown us and much evident sympathy. Little children talked familiarly and playfully with us, and we were bidden to warm ourselves at their genial firesides, so that if our financial gains finally figured up at zero, our spiritual gains were genuine and appreciable. We soon became aware of one fact, that the typical book-agent's unwelcome presence had left obstructions that only tha most genial politeness could overcome. However, we worked industriously, using our powers of persuasion, always within the rule aforesaid, without being rewarded ty a single order.

Our only tangible, or rather earthly reward was a good appetite, not good for ten days, but to be used immediately. We occasionally entered stores where ws' could warm our feet, and chat with the not over-hurried storekeeper, and in this way it was our fortune to meet a very peculiar man whether of the crank order or not, ws did not investigate. "We stepped into his store to warm a minute, speaking pleasantly as we weDt to the stove, when to our surprise we were told in a sort of tfogy voice to "step out. Making a gentle demurrer that we only wished to warm oar feet, we were told that no one was allowed in his store except on business. How much he lost by bis severity on tbe store of business we can't say, as it is possible we might have invested in a stick of gum or the like, under favorable circumstances, We surmise that this man has begun his apparently infant enterprise on such severe business principles, that be will in all probability result in a very miniature type of A.

T. Ktewart. Crossing tbe avenue we found a wbolesoul-ed dealer in shoes, which are likewise whole-soled we believe, who for the moment was reading a volume of Dickens. Hs welcomed us to bis genial firesidn and the never-to-be-wearied -of discussion cf his favorite author. His hearty welcome to a stranger proved an emollient to our undeserved rebuff, end social relations were quickly established.

Once more in the street the low-descending sun was swiftly withdrawing the very sparing amount of warmth he had imparted to the searching, chilly air, and your poor book-agent was keenly reminded that there was no place like home, to which heaven if he carried no tangible result of his labor, he certainly carried tbe assurance that thera are a great many genial and pleasant people in a great citv.

Stevenson, of this city, has a relic in his possession of which any veteran of the late war might bo proud. It is a section of the stern-post of the famous war thip Kearsarge. It will be remembered that during her historic- duel with tho Alabama off Cherbourg, France, the JCearsarge received a round shot through one cf her stern posts, dinablmg several of tho men and completely shattering the post against which It alighted. The timber was not immediitelv replaced, but was bolted together till 1870, when tho ship was dry-docked ot the Brooklyn navy-yard and al-iuosC entirely rebuilt. Mr.

Stevenson's cousin, Edward Stevenson, was then a master joiaer at the yard, and appreciating the value that would ultimately be attached to the remnants of the thip, saved many of the pieces and, later, sent two of them to hU in Rochester. Mr. Stevenson has since given one awsy, and intmds pre.euting the one still in bU posse-sion to C. J. Powers Post, of which he is au active member.

He agreed and was there on time to do her errand.

As he was about to leave the school room with the parcel. Bho turned to him with one of her pleasantest smiles and said You are a jewel, Sain, and I am ever so much obliged to yon. Sam's face flashed with pleasure. But as he started for the door, a small boy occupying a seat near by and noticing the flaming culor of his hair, said in a whisper which reached the teacher's ears, Yas, he's a jewel, he is a real ruby. The joke was too good to lone.

ao What Rev. Father Stewart Has to Say About the State of Florida, PEOPLE, PRODUCTS, POLITICS Effects of the Yellow Fever Epidemic The Climate Business Outlook Race Relations and Conditions To Become a Tobacco State. Fav. Father Stewart, of Bt. Mary's Church has just returned from an extended tour through the Southern States.

He spent considerable time in Florida, and made a trip through all parts of that state. Yesterday afternoon a Democrat and Chronicle reporter called at his pastoral residence and obtained a very interesting interview with the tourist. Yes, said Father Stewart In reply to the reporter's first question I have just returned from Florida and if I may be entitled to the expression, We Southerners' find it pretty chilly here. This led to the question commonly put by a Northerner, 'How did you find the climate of the Land of Flowers. 'Beautiful! beautiful 1" replied the traveler.

Sometimes eighty degrees in the shade. There is no doubt but Florida must become the land par excellance for invalids. During the hottest months, on the highlands and in the more exposed places there is a cool breeze blowing. It is the place for the sick, but they must stay indoors during the evening after sun-down. There seems to be a malarial germ in the air which after sun-down breeds fever.

It is not only the sick tor whom Florida has attractions which will surely draw a multitude of visitors but also for all Northerners. All who can possibly make the trip will do to avoid the trying months of January, Febuary and March. Did you notice any serious effect of the yellow fever!" Even more than is thought In the North, he replied. The plague hod an inestimably evil effect on the whole state. The negroes felt themselves safe from contagion and a common expression among them was now's the time for us to feel glad.

But they fell victims to the scourge as well as the whites. On one farm out of nineteen hands, sixteen were attacked by the fever; of course not all died. One of the most striking indications of its prevalence was the fact that during the epidemic, after 6 o'clock each evening the pedestrian along the streets of the beautiful city of Jacksonville could hear the ring and echo of his own footsteps. Every one left that could possibly get away and the city was deserted. The people not only left, tut the Northern tourists staid away.

In the magnificent hotel, the Alcazar in St. Augustine, with Its 400 servants, there were but few guests. The Ponce De Leon, the finest hotel iu the land, fared the same way. The Florida House made a better showing. But last year at the seme time all these hotels were filled to overflowing, and tourists were being daily turned away, and the price of a bed was $3 for one night.

The mild winter at the North and the inauguration attraction may also have been factors in producing the result this year. "What is the business outlook!" "On the whole I can not say it is bright, but the fever may have had some temporarily depressing effect on trade. There is a lack of the northern push and activity. The state contains resources which are waiting to be developed and that can only be accomplished by northern men and northern capital. The people are friendly to and desire the aid of the North.

I'erbaps the greatest cause for the JaoK of development is the war and then the indolence ot the upper classes caused by the result of the old slave system. On the farm, Genevar near St. Augustine, I saw exhibited methods similar to those of the North, but in most other cases there was a great deal ot shiftlessness. "To look at the flat, sandy, character of the state, you would think the cod would produce scarcely anything, but strawberries grow in luxuriance and all kinds of fruit for that matter. The flowers are profuse.

Houses Are almost bcried under roses and other plants blooming out of doors. The staple fancy product of tha Btate will of course continue to be oranges but the coming article is tobacco end Florida will be known as a tobacco state. To the Northern eye an orange tree io fruit is a unique sight. Sida by side with the golden ripe fruit is the green orange, or the full blown blossom or the bursting bud. How dors tho race question now stand from your observation I' "The whites and blacks are at daggers' points and if it were not that tha blacks lack organization and tbe power of attaining it, the races would now be at each others' throats.

Tbe negro traces back his wrongs to the slavery days and claims that even now be is sometimes counted out. As a rule Northerners do not get along as well with the negroes as the Southerners. Tho reason for this is perhaps that the latter know how to manage them better. The blacks are at heart Republicans because ot the emancipation, but they seem to be ignorant in a great many cases of any other reason of their choice. Politics run very high among whites am! blacks alike and you hear on the trains, in the hotels and everywhere nothing but political talk.

The negroes are jubilant over the incoming administration and tbo whites are by no moans displeasoJ. Thap feel that Harrison and his par will do the best possible for them and that's what they want. I can tell you that cur friend Clevelani is by no means a favorite with them. How about tha representative "There is a distinct line drawn between the Northerner and the Southerner. The one is wide awake and pushing; the othr indolent.

The climate seems te be enervating. Among the Spanish descendants there is great beauty of form, face and figure. The people as a whele are hospitable and entertain strangers in the pleasantest manner. They desire the introduction of men and capital from the North, but don's say anything of the injustice of their war. They feel that that is all over and tbey don't want it resurrected.

I have talked with ex-Confederate generals and soldiers and tbe universal expression is that there are not more loyal, patriotic and devoted citizens than those of the Southern States. Fire in a Bakery. About 1 1 o'clock last night an alarm ot fire summoned the department to No. 56 North Union street, where the small frame bakery of "William "Wiilingham wss discovered to be on fire. It had caught from the oven la the rear of the building, and the back room was completely gutted.

Two streams were soon playing on the fire and the flames were quickly extinguished. The loss could not be ascertained at tbe late hour at which tbe fire occurred, but it is partially covered by insurance. After it was over the firemen regaled themselves on partially smoked pie.
