Making Sport Of a Concert.

The musical critic of one of the New
York papers, having been compelled to
leave town suddenly on the eve of con-
cert by The Philharmonic Society, con-
frere on the sporting department kindly
volunteered to take his place for the even
ing. His work, whatever his shortcomings
in artistic sense, certainly lacked nothing
in originality, and we commend his style to
some of the musical critics. Hear him:
'Frime was called exactly at eight o'clock
and about fifty bugles, flies and fiddles en-
tered for the contest. The fiddles won
the toss and took the inside, with the chan
deliers right in their eyes. The umpire
with q small club acted as starter. just
before the start he took up cheese box
with small lunch counter before him, and
shook his stick at the entries to keep them
down. The contestants first socked it to
Landlice Hochzeit, by Goldsmith, Op. %.
They got off nearly even, one of the sor-
rel fiddles gently leading. The man with
the French Horn tried to call them back,
but they settled down ITO a sogging gait,
with the big roam fiddle bringing up the
rear. At the first quarter the little black
but the iiddIes' left kept weII U0geth5r aiIu
struck up a rattling gate. At the half pole
the man with the straight horn showed
signs of fatigue. There was a bobtailed
flute which wressled sadly with the sorrel
bugle at the half mile, but he was wind
broken and wheezed. The galoot with the
big fat bugle, kept calling whoa all the
time, but he seemed to keep up with the
rest until the end of the race. They all
came under the string in good order, but
the Judge on the cheese box seemed to re-
serve his opinion. He seemed tired and
the contestants went out to find the bottle
holders, and get ready for the Beethoven
handicap. It was a nice exhibition, but
little tiresome to the observers. All bets

Didn't Want to Buy.
Des Moines (lowa) Register.

A small, dapper, bilious looking man,
with snail eyes, long nose, and pointed
chin, rushed lto wholesale book store
OF Cuult az. rue, yesterday. and asked one
o. The clerks if they had book entitled
"Reveries of Bachelor" The clerk. who
was very obliging, as all the clerks in the
store are, began to look for the desired ar
tcle. He went over every shelf where it
was likely to be, but could not find it upon
any Of thin. Then he went down into the
basement-the bilious looking man follow
ing him and dove down into the bottom
of several boxes of books that had been
laid by for want of demand for them,
secured the shelves, searched the drawers,
but found it not. Then he went up to the
second floor and resumed the search among
more old books, unpacking several boxes
and nrnrtnrri,ifr larna nnantiiu of ernnds-
told the old man that he didn't believe the
book was in the store But the man said
he wished he would find it if possible; so
the clerk went up into the third story and
prowled around again for half an hour, and
finally iished it up out Of the dust in a lit
lie box away off in one corner. of the top
row of shelves, after a search Of over an
hour. He brushed tn dust from the COW
en- and said: ''les, here it is; $1.50; you
can have it for $1.25." ,. ...
ooh, don't want to buy it, said the
bilious looking man.
"Don't want to buy it," said the clerk;
'swhy didn't you say so an hour ago? Why
did you make me search so long for an arti-
Gle you don't want to buy? Ny time is
valuable and my employers expect me to
put it to profitable use.''
"Well, you see," quietly remarked the
man, Il made bet with JEFF Crandall. He
said couldn't find the book in DesMoines,
and bet him S. that could, and have
won the bet. That's all. Sorry to trouble
you so much" And the man wended his
way down stairs again. When he had
gone the clerk thought how happy he would
be TO get an invitation to that mans
funeral.

Aerial Telegraphy.

Prof. Loomis has been making expert
ments in aerial telegraphy in the mountains
of West Virginia, his idea being to send q
wire up to a certain height, reaching par
ticular current of electricity in the atmos-
phere. At any distance away this same
current can be reached by q simialr wire,
and communication can be, had Immediately.
The Professor has stelegraphed to parties
eleven miles distant By merely sending up
a. kite, at each end of the distance, . GER
tain height. attached TO which in place of
the ordinary string was fine copper wire.
When both kites, although eleven miles
distant from each other, touched the same
current, communication was had between
them both, and messages were sent from
one end to the other by means OF the erdi-
nary Morse instrument in connection with
the instrument invented BY Professor
Loonais. He has q scheme now onfOcs for
. series of experiments from point on
one of the highest peaks on the Alps,
in Swiszerland,; to a.simularly situated
place in the Rocky Mountains II this
succeeds. Of course his Invention viii rank,
ID importancs. with that Of the electric
telegraph itself All the money necessary
to carry on the experiments has already
been promised.

THE MONUMENT.
The Simple Design Adopted BY the Monument
Society.


The design of the modified plan of the
Washington monument, as submitted to
the Monument Society by Mr.. Larkin G.
Mead, and finally adopted by the society,
represents it to be plain obelisk without
studied ornamentation, rising to height
of 4S5 feet. It's foundation is So feet square
and rising up from the center of this is the
shaft with base of 55 feet The walls are
10 feet thick, with gradual exterior
slope from the base to the top. The interi-
or passage way is to be % feet square at
the base; running up the entire height OF
the shaft, which terminates in apex.
Just above the base ON each side of the
column will be q large bronze plate casting,
representing some historical deed or act of
Washington. Among the plates already
assigned, one portrays Washington in the
act of resigning his commission as comman-
der-in-chief of the American army, and
another as delivering his farewell address
before Congress in 1897. At each corner
will be placed plates representing agricul-
ture, science, war and peace. Immediately
below the bronze plates space is left for
various Inscriptions. At the base of the
foundation a beautiful terrace, 200 feet
square, is to be laid off and inclosed by a
low coping wall of marble. At each corner
of the wall there is to be an entrance, on
each side of which is a large pillar,
surmounted by piece of statuary.
The wall is TO be embellished with hand
some bronze lamps.
By the modified plan the monument may
be finished with the appropriation, the ex-
tent of which is 5000, ,000.- Washington Re

A RUSSIAN STORY.
Poushkine's Widow and Her Second Husband.

A rather sensational story comes from
Russia. The greatest poet of the Empire
of the Cars (and there is a good deal of
poetry both in Russian life and Russian lit
erature) was q man of the name of Poush-
kline. His wife was not very faithful to
him, and one evening, while Frenehman
of the name Of Dantez, whom he suspected,
was at his house, he put out the lamp, as
If by accident. and kissed his wife, asking
her pardon for the mishap. Taking advan-
tage of the darkness, he had quickly black
ened his lips with charcoal before kissing
her, and then went out of the room with
the lamp to light it again. When he came
back Dantez had his lips all black. The
next morning duel took place, in which
the poet was killed. Dantez was banished
from Russia, while the widow, after a few
years repentance, married the son of the
Minister, Count Lanskoy, by whom she had
daughter This daughter married GEM
eral Hartung, who recently shot himself in
consequence of a verdict of guilty returned
in a criminal suit brought against him by
r +
the wife of "a money lender of ths name of
Sanftleben. It appears that the General
had borrowed large sums of money from
the Jewish capitalist at the moderate rate
of 200 per cent. per annum. In consequence
of these amiable transactions an intimate
friendship sprang up between the creditor
and the debtor, and the former appointed
the latter executor of his will. at Sanftle-
ben's death Gen. Hartung took possession
of all his papers, and destl Dyed all the bills
bearing his own signature. When it be-
came known to the deceased's widow she
brought an action against him. Count
Lanskoy, the Generals father. in-law, was
also indicted, but the jury acquitted him,
returning a verdict of guilty against the
General, who blew his brains out in the
very court room as soon as the verdict was
returned, and before the Judge had time to
pronounce sentence.-N. Z. Sun.

4 Palace On Wheels.

The Rochester Democrat describes
model Pullman palace car which passed
through that city few evenings ago with
Mr. George Pullman and family and some
guests on board. 1t was built at an expense
of $25, 900. Highly polished woodwork,
with inlaid paneling of mahogany, black
walnut and maple, adorn the interior of the
car throughout In every apartment is an
electric spring, connected with bell in the
servants apartments. At one end of the
car is the reception room, from which there
is hallway leading to a commodious sleep
ing apartment and to the drawing room at
the centre of the car. This room embraces
about one-third of the entire space and is
a large and convenient apartment. In it
there are tables, writing desks, sofas, and
other furniture in abundance, and music is
not lacking, as the drawing room also con-
tains cabinet organ. Another hallway
leads on through other sleeping apartments
ard dressing rooms, and at the rear end of
the car are the cooks quarters, consisting of
kitchen, pantry, sc. The table ware, sill
yer and cooking utensils, &C., are in per-
feet keeping with the car itself. The
twelve wheels upon which the car rides are
made of paper, with steel tires. Mr.. Pull
man states that the use of this car, when
rented by party of ten persons, for whom
there are ample accommodations, is but
little more expensive than passage in an
ordinary drawing g-room car. The rent, with
with the use of all utensils, furniture and
ser sants, is fixed at $50 per week. Though
the Pullman Car Company have sleepers
and parlor cars which are run upon twenty
three thousands miles of railroad, there is
not one of the many coaches they have
built to which this one is not superior.
