LLMARKABLE MUSICAL MEMORIES.
".1151 Buiow Could Play 25 Recital Pro--
grammes-Without Repetition.
Possibly. the greatest case on record
‘3' that wonder of wonders, themest
intellectual ‘ of interpreters, the late
Dr. Hans von Bulow. He not only
played all of Beethoven by heart upon
the piano, but knew all the symphonies
in the same manner, and. practically
the v hole Wagnerian output of musical
metal, and it is claimed that so great
was the mass of the piano music which
Bulow retained “within the book and
volume of his brain,” inscribed in mys-
terious hieroglyphics somewhereamong
the molecules of the gray matter consti-
tuting the cortex of his cerebral organ,
that he could have played twenty-five
piano recital programmes without re-
peating and without a‘ printed page.
Since there go about two thousand
measures to the hour, and two solid
hours to an ordinary Bulow pro-
gramme, this would represent a bun-
dred thousand measures of music, or
about four thousand large pages, some-
thing like eight or ,ten thick vol-
umes.
Even Bulow was outdone by Robin-
stein, in the field of piano music at.
least, if we can trust the anecdote-mon-
gers, for it is claimed that in one sea-
son at St. Petersburg 'he played a. series
of recitals which exhausted the litera-
ture of the piano, and embraced one
thousand three hundred distinct cam-
positions. It is mentioned of Mendels-
sohn that, on one occasion, the score of
Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony having
been misplaced, he raiséd his baton
and directed the work from memory;
but this does not seem to me a feat
in the least remarkable, for the Pastor-
al Symphony is So extremely lucid and
so bewitchingly beautiful that the only,
thing diflicult 01 remarkable would be.
the forgetting of it. . Madam Patti

SAM JONES AND TALMAGE.
The Georgia Preacher’s Disoonrtesy At-
ter Receiving a Gift.
Sam Jones is the embodiment of an
audacity that sometimes comes very
near the borderline of discourtesy. A
clergyman who often assists him in his
series of meetings told the writer this
story in the earlyfhistory of Mr. Jones’
evangelistic work: He was invited by
Dr. Talmage to hold a. series of meet-
ings in the doctor’s Brooklyn church.
' Mr. Jones went to Dr. Talmage’s 'home
during the afternoon of the day on
which his engagement began and intro-
duced himself. Mr. Talmage looked
him over and was evidently a little ta-
ken aback at the rather shabby ap-
pearance of the evangelist. As it ap-
proached evening he said: “Brother
Jones, would you take it amiss if I pre-
~ sented you with a new suit of clothes?”
“Certainly not,” said the accommodat-
ing Samuel. He was taken to a. clo'th-
ier and fitted fro-m head to foot, top-
ping all with a high hat.
At church the doctor introduced him
as the Rev. Samuel ,P. Jones from
Georgia. Mr. Jones arose With his new
hat in hand and repeated: “Yes, the
Rev. Samuel P. Jones from Georgia,”
and added: “And this is the new suit
of clothes and this the new hat your
pastor has presented to me. If your
pastor had as much of the grace of
God in his heart as he has pride, he
would convert all Brooklyn, and would
not need me.”—Homiletic Review.
A Nebraskaflank President.
This is a true story, but for several
reasons names and ' localities are
changed:
A few years ago some financiers con-
cluded to organize a national bank in
a city not more than 11,000 miles from
Omaha. In order to secure the confi-
dence of the people of the community
a number of well-to-do farmers Wen
interested, and one, whose name will
be given as Fitzmaurlce, was elected
president.
In due time the'bank was ready 1'01
business, and one day it received iron
the government a lot of national banl
notes, printed four on a sheet, and
ready for xthe signatures of the presi-
dent and cashier. The cashier Signet
up the notes and laid them upon tht
president’s desk for the latter's signa
ture.
President Fitzmaurice stirred up tht
fire in the grate which warmed his lit
tle ofilce, and set to work placing hi1
signature on the notes. In due time in
completed his task, and laid the note:
back upon the cashier’s desk.‘ T-ht
cashier cut the notes and counted them
finding the pile several hundred (101:
lars short. He supposed that the pres:
ident had taken the money and would-
in due course of business leave a mom
orandum. But after seVeral’ days had
gone by withontithe president speakirfi
of the. missing bills the cashier ask
about them.
“Oh, them bills, " said the honest oil

was founded over thirty years ago by
two brothers, Maurus and Pl-acidua
Welter of Cologne, two learned Monks
sent by Pius IX to Prussia to reorgan-
ize the monasteries there, which were
degenerating. The pious Princess
Catherine of Hohenzollern offered
them the.ancient Abbey of Benzon to
establish a. new house, which came
into existence in 1863. Around the
two brothers there soon gathered lit-
erary men and artists, especially from
Dusseldorf, in love with the splendors
of the Black Forest, who their contin-
ued their work, so that there is now
an artistic school of Benzon, which
may be said to rival the famous one
of the Italian Abbey of Monte Cassino

TRICKS OF THE TYPES.
Some Amusing Mistakes of “11101 Conn
pusitors Are Guilty.
“What is this?” exclaimed a compos-
itor who was expecting to be promoted
to a proofreadership shortly. “ ‘Sermons
running brooks!’
Impossible! He means, of course, ‘Ser-
mons in boo-ks and stones in the run-
ning brooks.’ ” And a new reading of
Shakespeare appeared next morning.
A sporting compositor thought
“Cricket on the Hearth” must be a slip
of the pen. He made it “Cricket on the
Heath.” '
A writer on angling had the joy 0]
seeing his sentence, “The young salmon
are beginning to run,” printed “The
young salmon are beginning to swim,"
anothei thoughtful compositox having
been at work
Happier was the transformation 01
the sentence, “Bring me my toga” intc
“Bring me my fogs.”
There is a less subtle vein of hum01
in the story of the editor who wrote
during an election, “The battle is now
opened.” The compositor spelled bat-
tle” with an “o,” and the other side
said, of course, that they had suspect-
ed it from the first.
It was by a similar mistake that the
late Baker Pasha, who might fairly be
described as a “battle scarred veteran,"
was called a “battle- scared veteran,’
the libel being by no means purged
when the newspaper called the gallant
officer a “bottle-scarred veteran.”
Owing to an error in printing the
announcement, “A sailor, going to sea,
his w'ife desires the prayers of the con-
gregation,” became “A sailor going to
see his wife deserves the prayers of the
congregation.”
The statement “Messrs. ’s pre-
serves cannot be beaten,” was rather
vitiated as an advertisement by the
omission of “b” in the last word.
Innocently gay was the newspaper
report which said that the London ex-
press, had knocked down a cow and cut
it into “calves.”—-Lesta Typographica.
The Peregriuations of a $10 I’ ill.
Here’s a mathematical ploblem
a bank messenger putting to a man of
figures the other day: “A banker found
a $10 bill. At home he gave it to his
wife, who paid the butcher in settle—
ment of his account. The butcher paid
it to the farmel for a calf, and the
farmer paid it to the merchant, who in
turn paid it to the washerwoman, and
she, owing the banker a note of $10,
The banker recognized the bill as the
one he had found and which up to that

deeper, the carpenter cut out the sec-
tion and polished it. The wood then
showed 'a wonderful combination of
three heads. Held at a distance it is
a likeness, said to be excellent, of Sir
Walter Raleigh. Held nearer, the up-
per portion is a cameo-like representa-
tion of Queen Elizabeth, run and all,
with the smooth dressing of the red
hair characteristic of the portraits of
that notable. irascible dame, whose
love was deep, but not lasting, and
whose lovers had their heads laid on

port has it that the portrait of the poet
is correct, except that a portion of the
pointed beard and of the upper left
temple is missing. The bit: of wood
showing this remarkable trio of por-

es long and an inch wide.
If, now, instead cf-the face of Shake-
speare, the face of-Bacon had appear-
ed, what more assurance could be ask-
ed of nature‘s testimony in favor of
the cipher theory? Confessedly the
portrait said to be that of Shakespeare
lacks something of a complete likeness.
Let it be examined again—it may be
the face of Bacon after all. If it is
not, let the carpenter take off one lit-
tle shaving from the part, and proba-

A RAILROAD RUN BY MONKS.
Cowled Engineer and Brakeman Present
a Novel Sight.
The Trappist monks of Saligny are
the most enterprising company of re-
ligious exclusives in the world. They
have recently built a railroad, among
other up-to—date undertakings, and
this constitutes one of the most curi-
ous lines of conveyance to be found the
globe around. ‘
This unique railroad is equipped
with the best and most modern roll—
lng stock. The chief object of the road
is the profitable transportation of the
kaolin, or potter's clay, which is found
in large quantities at Saligny. The
spectacle of a couple of heavily-cowled-
monks, one acting ’as engineer to a
cabless locomotive and the other do-
ing a brakeman’s duty, is the most
startling feature encountered by the
tourist in the Trappist’s country.
When this railroad was first started
there was much opposition to it, both
from the laymen and the clergy
throughout France. After the Trap-
pists had demonstrated the value of
their railroad to the town of Saligny
and the surrounding country, as well
as to their order, opposition ceased.
To—day the little railroad is one of the
most profitable in all France—New
York Journal.
FLAG OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR.
Similar in- Design to the President’s, but
:hc‘t‘olor is Scarlet.
Among the special flags of the Uni-
ted States. there is now, for the first
time, .-.one belonging to the Secretary
of VVa-r. The new flag is of scarlet
hunting, the fly measuring twelve feet,
and the hoist six feet and eight inch-
ES. In the center is an eagle with
outstretched wings, bearing 011 its
breast a. United States shield. The
eagle, which is the same as that on the
National arms, holds in its right talon
an olive branch with red berries, and
in its left a bunch of arrows. In its
beak is a scroll with the motto “E
Pluribus Unum.” In the field of the
shield are two rows of stars, six in the
upper and seven in the lower row.
l‘here also is a large white star in each
of. the four corners of the flag itself.
There will also be a smaller flag, near-
.yi‘isquare in shape, made of silk, and
hearing the same design. This is to be
used as the “colors” of the Sec1etaiy

Popular J islice in 131111111
A debate in the Bavarian Diet re—
gently shows that in some parts of Ba-
varia a kind of popular justice, a relic
of the Middle Ages, is still exercised
by the people in the case of offences
which do not fall within the pale of
the ordinary law, suC‘h”’as usury, lic-
grant immorality: 'rbitrary conduct of
officials and the 11 c. This method of
procedure, which: is called “Habeifel-
trélben,” is practiced by people
who assemble with blackened or mask-
ed'faces before the offender’s house;
and there cxeate a horrible din, howl-
ing, firing rifles, and beating pots and
kettles. Then a. mock sermon, in dog
gcrel veise, setting forth the offence
of the persOn concerned is lecited in
the hearing of the misdemeanant.

l'relimin 211-} Campaign Work Begun on
[in i: aides— Democrats Are Confident.
Wash Hington Feb 28. -A~lthough the
Congressional elections are more than i
9 99.1 months off the preliminary cam-
paign \1 011' has already begun. The
activity on the part of ‘the party inan-
agers will continue until the day pre-
ceding the voting, .and every indication
points to one of the hottest fights on
record. The Democrats realize that
they have an unusually brilliant pros-
pect of winning; in fact, they say that
they are sure of having a majority in
the Fifty—sixth Congress.» While not
making many predictions as to the out-
come the managers at the Republican
Congressional Committee are fairly
confident, and intimate that when the
poll of the next House is taken it will
be found that they have a comfortable
margin.
It is announced that both committees
will follow the Same general plans laid
down during the campaign of 1896 for
their fight this summerand fall. In other
words, the battle: for the Congres-
sional elections during1898 will be on the
financial and tariff issues. The Repub-
tican committee will confine its’labors
to these two questions, butthe Demo—
cratic committee will devote most of
its time and attention'to propagating
They will, of
courSe, have much to say about the
high protection Dingley bill and its fail-
ure to provide sufficient revenue dur-
ing the first year of- its operation to
cover the expeditures of the Govern-
ment.
It is given out at the Republican
committee that the main work of the
managers will be to secure the election
of sound money men to the Fifty-sixth
Congress. Everywhere that Republi-
cans stand'any show of being elected,
the aidof the committee will be given
to them, but no secret is made of the
fact that the chairman of the Repub-
lican committee will also lend assist-
ance to Democratic candidates for Con-
gress running on a sound money decla-
ration when opposed only by free sil-
verites. Chairman Babcock and his
associates realize the importance of se—
curing a. sound money majority in the
next Congress, and they will bend ev-
ery'exertion to bring about this end. It
is even said that sound money Demo-
crats will be assisted when lined up
against free silver Republicans. It will
thus be seen that the issue of finance
is considered of more importance than
the question of Republicanism.
fl‘he National Republican Committee
is well ciganized and has been doing
active work at its headquarters in this
city for some months past. It has a
large.sized literary bureau in full blast.
This committee will work independ-
ently of the Republican Congressional
Committee but in certain cases will
join forces.
There is no denying the fact that
Senator Jones and other leading Demo-
crats are worried at the lack of prog-
ress that is being made by the Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee. Up
to date the managers of this commit-
tee have done ‘practically nothing to
shape the campaign of 1898. Themem-
bers of the committeee have been an—
nounced, but they have not organized,
have no quarters engaged and have not
even begun the work of preparing cam-
paign material. Senator Jones has no
actual connection with this committee,
but is, of course, much interested in it.
Senator White of California was
elected chairman of the committee
some time ago. The day after his
election he left~for his home in Califor~
nia and has not been here since. Law-
rence Gardner. who was secretary in
1896, declined to stand for re-election
this fall, and (ex-Congressman James
Kerr of Pennsylvania was elected in
his stead. Notwithstanding'the fact
that Kerr was an active candidate fOr
the place he has done nothing to pres
pare for the campaign; in fact, he
has not even been injwatsh‘ington to
arrange for committee headquarters.
With one or two exceptions the mem-
bers of the Democratic Congressional
Committee are all radical free silver-
ites. Those who have been consulted
state in the most positive terms that
the fight this fall will be strictly upon
the financial question. They will put
forth their utmost efforts to bring
about the election of every tree silver
candidate for Congress, and will make
this their main point of attack. The
position of the committee on this point
was very clearly outlined by the adop-
tion of the following resolution, pre-
sented by Chairman White just before
he left for California:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
committee there should be earnest and
active co—cperation on the part of all
who believe in the policy of bimetallism
as outlined in the Chicago platform,
and that all honorable and legitimate
means should be taken to unite the
voters of the United States who are op-
posed to the single gold standard.
Owing to the fact that the commit-
tee has not got down to work yet it is
difficult to state what detailed plans
will be followed during the campaign
this fall. The first gun of the coming
contest will be fired in this city on the
13th of April, when the National Asso-
ciation of Democratic Clubs will cele-
brate the birthday annivgrsary of
Thomas Jefferson with abig banquet.
William Jennings Bryan, will be pres-
ent, and will make a speech, in which
he will outline the policy to' be pur-
sued by the free stlverites. Big prep-
arations are now being made for this
celebration and prominent Democrats
from all over the country are being
asked to attend and speak.

HAVANA iS QUIETER.
the Board of Inquiry to Take Testimony
at Key West.
is.
New York, Feb. 28.—Havana
quieter now than she has been
at any time since the Maine dis-
aster in her harbor. The first Week's
work of the Naval Court of Inquiry
was finished on Saturday and the Court
sailed on the Mangrove to Key West,
where it met again to- day. Every bit
of testimony to be obtained in Havana
bearing on the Maine explosion, it is
believed, has been gathered. It is not
probable, however, that the Court‘s re-
port will be made public at present.
At the direction of Consul-General
Lee the Court heard the evidence of
several persons as to the supposed ex-
istence of a plot against the United
States battleship. ‘ This evidence came
‘principally from Cubans.
Senator Proctor arrived in Havana
from Key West Saturday and had a.
long consultation with General Lee,
though nothing of the subject) matter
“as allowed to become known Mr.
Proctor denies that he went to Cuba.
as an emissary from President Mc-
Kinley, and General Lee says he knows
nothing of any mission. Americans in
Havana, however, despite these denials,
believe the Senator’s visit is significant.
In line with the plans of Mr. McKin-
ey, Secretary of State Sherman in con-
versation with several Senators in
Washington, said that if the explosion
.vhich wrecked the Maine was not in
the interior of the battleship Spain
would be held responsible, and that an
indemnity would be demanded. Mr.
McKinley still believes that the affair
can be settled through the medium of
diplomacy, and has declared himself
opposed to war. No new information
as to the cause of the wreck has reach-
ed Washington.
To meet emergencies which may
arise, however, precautions will not be,
relaxed. Steps are being taken to
strengthen the'w’defenses of New York
city by submarine explosives. Experts
say the city is now fairly safe, but
rapid- fire guns are needed, and the
supply of powder is low.
The monitor Terror has been ordered
to this harbor, and will remain here
until further orders. It is proposed
that the monitor Amphitrite 'shall be
placed to protect Charleston and Port
Royal, the Puritan to- protect Balti-
more, Washington, Richmond and
Norfolk, and the Miantonomoh to pro-
tect Philadelphia.
Measures have been taken to replen-
ish the magazines of the men- -of-war,
am. an appropriation which would be
sufhrient to obtain a large supply of
coal has been asked for. It seems,
however, that the 1,590 men requested
by the Navy Department will not be
forthcoming for a week or more yet.
