A Musical Duel.

There has been no small stir in the
musical circles of Germany over the
quarrel between the Berlin violinist Wal.
demar Mayer and Ludwig Hartmann,
the musical critic. Early in the pres
ent year the Perrin artist. gave a con-
cert in the Gewandhaus at Leipzig, and
was afterwards invited to meet liter
ary and musical company, where the
talk turned upon the criticism of music
in the 10 rnals. 81 know for a fact,''
observed Herr Mayer ''that all these
musical critics are to be bought" A
student at the university stood up in
wrath and said that he could name one
against whom Herr Mayer dared not
make such a charge. "Who is hep
asked the musician. Ludwig Hart
man, Of Dresden, = replied the student.
''Well," retorted the other, eff he will
not take bride into his own hands he
will receive one Indirectly through his
wife. If wanted Hartmann to praise
me in the press | should forward the
honorarium for the favorable t:cism
to Frau Hartmann. On the next day
May er gave concert at Dresden and
received an invitat on to visit Hartmann
after the concert To his establishment
rather than his pleasure he was no soon
er ushered into Frau Hartmann's salon
than he saw the young student from
Leipzig, as well as his hostess, confront
ing him. The LAZY asked him if he
would be good enough to repeat to her
what he had said in society at Leipzig.
AS he hesitated to do this Frau Hart
mann struck him across the face with
a riding whip ard he re eived a second
blow on the back, of the head as he was
hurrying out of the room. He went
straight to his hotel and wrote chal-
lenge to Ludwig Hartmann, which the
critic naturally enough refused to ac-
cept. Mayer hal already fred his shot
at Hartmann, Eeh;nd his back, in Leip-
zig, and Hartman conceived that his
wife had saved him the trouble OF firing
any shot in return. The duel was COM
menced by the musician himself, who
had got the worst of it, but the crit did
not see that this was any Eeason for fight
ing a second battle. London Times.

-Four years ago a woman hired
horse at a San Antonio, Tex, livery
stable. and with her husband drove to a
neighboring town. There the husband
sold the horse and invested the proceeds
in small business. Fortune smiled
upon him and he became, in three
years, the leading merchant of the place

"a man pointed to as an example for
the rising generation. The other day
the San Antonio liveryman heard for

Samuel Scott, of Wartburg, Tenn,
has recently died, his weight being $50
pounds. 1t is thought that his death
was due to his extreme obesity He
was about five feet eight inches tall,
but his body was pulled out to an alb
normal size,. and he could scarcely walk.
His physicians would not allow him to
be in bed, and he slept in a very pecul-
lar position, usually kneeling, with his
head resting on chair 1t is said he
would sleep as well in this apparently
uncomfortable attitude as any one in a
bed of down. He disregarded his ply
sicians' advice, however, and went to
bed as any other person, and died dur
ing the night, it is thought of asphyxia.

The Two Formulas.

Here are the two formulas, which
have been the cause of SO much
dissension in Pennsylvania.
The first is the Agnew amend
ment, which the bill, as introduce
ed by Mr. Emery, provides shall be
submitted to the people.
Section 1. The manufacture,
sale or keeping for sale of all intox-
icating liquors, whether distilled,
brewed, fermented or vinous, and,
all compounds thereof, or of any
thereof to be used as beverage, is
forever prohibited within the
Commonwealth, and the General
Assembly shall, without DELAY,
pass all laws necessary to enforce
the prohibition.
Sec. 2. The manufacture and
sale Of the aforesaid liquors for 9TH
er purposes than as beverage
shall be regulated by law under
sufficient penalties and securities.
The following is the amendment
asked for in the petitions:
Article 10, Section /. The man
ufacture or sale or keeping for sale
of any alcoholic or Intoxicating
liquors, whether brewed, ferment-
ed or distilled, or any compounds
thereof, or any com pound of which
any such liquors constitute part,
to be used as a beverage, Is prohib-
tied within this Commonwealth,
but the manufacture and sale of
such liquors, or compounds thereof,
for purposes other than beverage,
shall be regulated by law. The
General Assembly, after the adop-
ton of this article by the qualified
electors of the Commonwealth,
shall, without any delay, enforce
its provisions by adeqaate pcnal-
ties.
The essential difference is the
word vinous' in the APnew amend
ment. The Bailey people claim
that this would include communion,
wine in the list OF things forbid
don, and array the church against
the amendment. They arc very
bitter about it. Ptttsb,og Christian
