startled by the report of pistol shot

yestigation, by DR.. Muller, showed
that the ball had entered the breast

EMBARRASSING.
An Episode at Berlin in Which Ma.
terna Figured.

time in Berlin ten years ago or 80 told
me OF an incident that occurred in
which he and Materna played con-
spicuous part. Two or three OF the
young fellows" he said. were IL Ber-
lin when Wagner was at work on his,
'Valkyrie. The Emperor expressed q
desire to hear some selections from the
work. and this was big advertisement
for Wagner, who consented to have
some parts sung BY Materna and Me
mann. The court retained good por-
ton OF the tickets to the hall In which
the affair was to take place, and tho
rest were sent to the various foreign le-
cations in Berlin, and could be OBJ
tanned by foreigners from their respec-
tive ministers on the payment Of q
good round sum, which, I suppose,
went into Wagner's pockets.
I ''Well, We won't to tho American La
cation and secured three tickets. On
the day of the concert we went on an
excursion into the country, and missed
the train that We ought to have taken.
to reach the city in time to. dress. The
next train took US to Berlin, and there
we were confronted by unpleasant al
ternatives. We were near the hall,
and the concert would begin in . few
minutes, but we were not dressed for
m entertainment Of this sort. Nv
companion wore dark clothes, but I had
on suit of light tweed. which, being
'bob-tailed' into the bargain, l knew
would be too conspicuous altogether
for swell concert, in which the EN-
.peror and the court and the represen-
5tatives of foreign Governments would
make up the greater part of the audi
ence. On the other hand, we could
not 20 to our rooms 1T the other side Of
the city, dress and return inside Of an
hour and q half. So we decided to 20
to the concert as we were and take our
chances of being refused admittnnce.
We went in all right, however, and
were shown to our seats, which
were up front, but just around the cor
ncr Of the stage, SO that wo couldn't
see Wagner and the singers. The
space in front of the stage was open SO
as not to obstruct the view Of the En-
peror and the court. Tho audience
was, of course, as brilliant gathering
as could be got together in any city IN
the world. We three fellows were sit
ting. in chairs, and proposed that we
slide our chairs around tho corner and
in front of the stage, SO that we could
SEQ the singers. We did this, and I
sank as far as could out OF sight, ex.
pecting every moment to be thrown out
Of the hall.
''Well. we heard the 'Valkyrie' mu-

A Scrap from the French Investigation.


James F. Estes testimony before the French
investigating commission on Friday, deserves
to be given at more length as to one circum
stance When he came back from Washington
City, after two months weary waiting, and with
a depleted pocket-book, but triumphing in hav
ing secured reinstatement in the postal service,
he was sent by Mr. French to Louisville to be as
signed to duty. The witness said: 1.-THE Louis
vile, Ky, and Warm Springs, N. c., route was
the one to which 1 was appointed. I told Mr..
jerks, the chief clerk there, that knew the up
per end of the route (which was nearer his
home and did not know the lower end, and
would have to study the local. l found that Mr..
Warner another clerk on the route) was anx-
ious to be changed to the lower end After
had left the Office Mr. jerks made the remark to
some of the clerks-so l was told by Mr.. Warner
that he (Jenks) and Mr. French did not want
me running out of Louisville; that we have
found out where he tthe witness) wants to be-
and now d-n him, we will put him where he
doesn't want to bel"
They sent him where he didn't want to be-
and, on making the tact known, Postmaster
general Gresham again interfered and put him
where he did want to be, and where he knew the
work.
