1882, at the age of thirteen, ne was taken TO
hear Mozarts Don Juan at the Italiens. The
simpl promise beforehand that he should be
taken there sent such thrill of happiness
through him that he could neither eat nor
drink. "My mother remarked it," he said,
"and told me: You can't go to the opera if
you don't eat.' After such a threat would
have swallowed anything that might have

schoolmaie OF Gen Robert Schenck. In 1885

fought, and in the end became Democrat.

feated, after spirited contest, his old school
mate Gen. Schenck. In 1866 he was sent as

tired of the inactivity of the position, he
resigned.
