It seems, refuses to give credit to the younger, sa the following dipping from the Continental Anglo-American Gazette of Dresden indicates: "Marcella Sernbrich Is without doubt the most gifted and famous among the latter-day Oerman el risers.

As a virtuoso she already rivals Adellna Pattl, and when on reflects that she Is as yet comparatively young It Is easy to -predict that in the course or the year she will fill the world With her fame.

O. B. Lamperti. of Dresden, and begged him for-his opinions on this point, also to explain more fully his relations toward the singer. The genial master kindly volunteered the information, consequently I am now In the position to give authentlo Information as to the real master of the artiste and thus put an end to the various myths heretofore and now In circulation.

The result of my interview la as follows: According to the various newspaper articles before me I learn that already In the year UTS Marcella Bembrich waa tinder the tuition of Q. H. Lamperti, and according to the Milan newspaper, Montio Artistlco, of May 28. 1879, the lady for two years previous wm his diligent pupil and the results praise the master.

JACK FROSTS WORK. TBIDAY XOBJTXNG'S 7 ALL HOT VXBY DAMAGING. Interesting Letter by Observer O'Con-t nor, Who It in Nelsoa County. Mr.

This la the popular impression, especially concerning peaches, as most peach trees were in full blootn. The blossoms were all open and filled with water by reason of the heavy and steady rains of the past ten.

days. Jack frost, therefore, bad ample opportunity to make bis work of destruction com plete, but as first impressions on matters of this kind are usually overdrawn there is good reason to believe that when fully ascertained the extent of the damage Will not be so great- There Is an old adage that says fruit will never be damaged by frost In the light of the As the moon is now in Its first quarter farmers will base considerable reliance upon the truth of this. Hajf the sun shone brightly to-day the blossoms might have turned black or shown their dark spots, but threatening weather and slowly rising temperature are regarded as favorable conditions under the circumstances. "Next to peaches young clover Is most susceptible to Injury from frost- Wheat Is beyond possible damage except from extraordinarily low temperature. Frequent recurrence of rain, frost and thawing or warm weather will, bow-ever, affect it injuriously to a greater or leas extent.

"Most tobacco beds have been sown. In arranging them growers usually guard against possible injury by frost. The canvas covering insures protection until time for transplanting a -rives. Under normal climatological conditions this is about April 25. After that time they will be-at the mercy of the elements and the vigilance of the Weather Bureau.

Owing to the shortness of the tobacco crop last year farmers naturally anticipate -continued good prices for the weed this season, and are accordingly planning for a larger crop.

President Commercial Club. City Dear Sir: During the recent session Of the Kentucky General Assembly, as yourself and the membership of the Commercial Club are well aware, laws were passed and have since received the signal ture of the Governor, by which this city Is now permitted to exempt from taxation for a period of Ave years- all new manufacturing Institutions that can be Induced to locate here and also relieving tbe franchise tax on private corporations from liability to assessment. With the good work thus far accomplished It now becomes our duty ss good cittsena, I think, to give the widest publicity to these important facta In tbe various trade and commercial Journals of the country, that everybody with capital to Invest may know of our advantages and attractions. I. therefore, address you this communication, urging that you take the matter up at once with your board of directors and membership, and devise such meana aa you deem best suitable to put Into operation for the accomplishment of this purpose.

The advantage Louisville will be able to give Is Just the kind of advantage shs needs and desires. Soliciting rour hearty co-operation, yours very ruly, CHARLES P. WEAVER, Mayor. P. 8.

In answer to an Inquiry upon the subject it has already been my pleasure to notify the Manufacturers' Record, published at Baltimore, of these Important enactments. Louiaville, March Charlea P.

In reply I will say that the Commercial Club haa already taken notice through Its committees of the action of tbe Kentucky General Assembly, and at an open meeting to be held at an early date the matters referred to will be thoroughly discussed. The Press Commitee wil give the matter due attention.
