PAeANINrs PERFORMANCE
The Wonderful Magician of the Violin
Incomprehensible, IndescribabIe.


Incomprehensible, Understandable.
Texas SiftingsI
How did Paganini plays Now like m
angel, now like demon with his tail in a
closed door. He played like the very Devil
hhnself-never like mortal man. Such
sounds assuredly have never vet been
drawn from violin. The only thing that
sounded likci them was pulling cat by the
hind leg from under an ash barrel. In
fact, they We're no real violin sounds; thew
sounded like the roaring of the storm, like
the surging of the sen, like chronic snorer
with his nose congasted, like a brakeman on
tie Elevated railroad with cold in his
need, like the ringing of the trombone like
the thunder Of q fat man with deep voice
whose suspender button few off like the
chimes of dinner bell, or the sound of a
bird, like the anguish and despair of man.
like moaning, and singing, and whining and
weeping.
And when the G string walled, then tears
came through the eyes from the listening
hearts of men, tears of sadness and delight,
real salt and water tears as big as Texas
pecan nuts--none of your artificial tears got
ten up to deceive the public.
His performance had the effect of flashes
Of lightning in dark night He was as full
of electricity as black cat that is rubbed
the wrong way on the fur While he
played, nervous tremor went through his
whole frame, shaking, thin, and specter-
like as it was, and from his gloomy ewes
there flashed deep-seated, raging fire, such
as is sometimes seen in the eyes of an editor
on whom barkeeper showed of a bad
quarter With the last stroke of the bow
the player sank completely exhausted upon
his chair. and whispered feebly: "Send for
a sour toddy."
His technique was the purest chromatic
roulades, his wonderfully clear information,
even in humorous bizarreries, excited the
| establishment Of people who were engaged in
the manufacture of bizarreries, and knew
all about then. His broken accords across
all the four strings, from the lowest depths
up to the giddiest heights, could not be dis
| tinguished from the noise made BY a boy
running stick across a picket fence His
rapid octave playing upon the G string,
his slvery chino Of bells, his fortissimo
which drowned the whole of the orchestra
| followed Immediately by the sweetest,
most charming pianissimo, can only be com
| pared to the loud voice Of a woman who /.
scolding her boy for tearing his pants, and
uddenly hears the voice of her pastor at thu
door asking if she was in.
All this was inconceivable or incompre
| hensible. and, therefore, also indescribable
| Even the best violinists of Berlin shook theii
heads and said: I'VE do rot comprehend it

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The president
has become an enthusiastic explorer OF
Washington and its surroundings. 1t was
all new to him. About the third day after
his Inauguration he ordered the carriage at
o'clock and went out for drive. This
has become daily custom. 1t
makes no difference now who
or how many are in waiting, Mr.. Cleveland
at O'Clock sharp gets up from his desk and
says, ''Come, Dan" and away the president
and his private secretary go for their outing.
A new route is taken every day. Arlington,
the distributing reservoir above Georgetown.
soldiers home. Rock creek, Silver spriug,
the country seat of the late Montgomery
Blair and the arsenal are some of the
places the president has visited since inaug-
uration day. He takes deep interest in the
historical associations of the vicinity of Wash
ingtoD and already he knows more about the
district than any of his predecessors, with
the possible exception of Mr.. Lincoln, who
was very fond of driving about here in the
same kind of a vehicle as that used by Presi-
dent Cleveland. Two stylish bay horses from
the White house stables are attached
to the coupe and the driver, John Cobb, who
knows every foot of territory within a radius
of 100 miles, is usually the guiding spirit of
the ride. He knows all the best roads and
the prettiest bits of scenery about Washing
ton. He doesn't tire of pointing out every
thing notable. He finds two splendid lis
teners in the president and Mr.. Lamont.
