Music and Its Exponents.
Andrew Carnegie, the millionaire
manufacturer and author adds an en-
thusiastic love of music to his other
accomplishments He is connoisseur
in the matter of voice. and has a fine
taste as to the involved compo sitions
of modern musical writer's. Before
his marriage there was no more ardent
patron of amateur talent than Mr.
Carnegie. He never lost an oppor-
tunity of being present when invited
to frequent the somewhat h arrowing
n'usicales which prevail in society.
Many an ambitious singer and pianist
of these exclusive circles have glowed
with pleasure when praised in the
energetic way of the author of ''Tri-
umphant d ,mocracy."
One of the country's wealthy men
who may be said to have the musical
craze is Alfred Corning Clark. only
surviving son and heir of the late Ed
ward Clark of Singer Sewing Machine
Company fame. The elder Clark died
some eight years since. leaving an es-
tate. the present value of which is at
least $50 600 900. His son. the virtual
most modest and transformations man.
He lives quietly. gives no expensive en-
tertainments. and his philanthropies

ever, scarcely another wealthy man in
The city who does more good with his
money than Alfred Corning Clark.
One of his favorite schemes of charity
is the helping along of struggling
musical geniuses who lack the where
withal TO pursue a course of European
study. Ayoung man of this city, now
studying at Leipzig, whose COM.
positions have already forced
attention in the musical world.
Il young man who is spoken
of as one of the few coming masters
of the organ, was several years ago
about to abandon the struggle to
educate himself and return to America
because of lack of money. The case
was mentioned to Mr.. Clark by q
common friend, himself q musician of
culture and experience. Before an
hour had passed the Atlantic cable

This is merely single instance. Mr..
Clark is himself a musician of no

AN ALBANIAN ROMANCE.
The Sad Story of n Girl Captivated by
Handsome Marksman.

The Sad Story of a Girl Captivated by a
Handsome Marksman.
D ring Il visit to Albania, one of
the small independent Balkan states.
/ saw some remarkable deeds of
marksman ship and heard a strange
story regarding the skill of the Alba
mans.
There was a young man of some
twenty-four or twenty-five who was
not only remarkably handsome among
all these handsome men, but was one
of the most expert marksmen they
had. He finally was persuaded to
visit some. cities to show his skill, and
with him he had a young man who
used to assist him by holding different
objects for the other to shoot at They
finally reached this place after very
successful tour. and as he was about
to give an exhibition at his own birth
place of his powers. his helper was
found helplessly intoxicated.
Among the disappointed audience
was slender and pretty young girl
of only sixteen who had loved this
young man in secret ever since she
could Der. He offered five hum
dred drachmas for volun teer. man or
woman, who would take his mans
place. and this young girl stepped out
and up to the platform. He accepted
her and she stood without moving or
fiinching while the balls almost grazed
her delicate flesh on their way where
he sent them.
Hercourage.c aptivated him and they
were married. and together they visit
ed many countries and in Franco made
q great Juror. They had been married
two years. and he had perhaps grown
weary of such utter devotion. or he
was dazzled by "a woman of rank in
France, and he neglected his poor lit
tie wife. and every night the temptress
sat in a box and watched the hand
some Albanian who looked up to her
for approval after each feat
These Albanian women have little
mind and no education. and they live
only in their love, and when that Is
wrecked they have nothing to fall back
on and they die That was all that
she could do. and life was
not worth the living without
his love So she wrote poor little
misspelled letter. telling him that she
was broken hearted and was going to
die. so that he could be happy with
that beautiful woman who loved him
and whom he loved, that she did not
blame him in the least, she was only
sorry, and that she was but young and
could not die unless she died by vlo-
Ience, and so, not to have the sin OF
suieide on her SOUL she was going TO
let him kill her that night. She would
welcome death from his hand.
And that evening at the perform

stem, she waited until too late for him
to save her. and threw herself forward

A REMARKABLE instance of combined
memory and intelligence was instanced in a
dog. He had remembered where the
blanket he had used to sleep upon in the
winter had been put away, and on the first
cool night of the following autumn had gone
to the drawer in which the blanket had been
put and scratched to have it opened, which
being done the dog drew out the article and
stretched himself upon it after taking it to
its former place in the hall of the house.

Medicine

At no other season does the human system 80
much need the aid of reliable medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla, now. The impoverished
condition of the blood the weakening effects of the
long cold winter the lost appetite and that tired
feeling all make a good spring medicine absolutely
necessary. Hoods Sarsaparila is peculiarly
adapted for this purpose, and increases in popu.
