Rubinstein and Von Bulow Quarrel.

The most fiery of pianists and of or chestral conductors, Dr. Hans von Bulow, has been pointing his baton at his old friend Rubinstein, to whose "Ocean Symphony" he has taken sudden dis like. After directing at rehearsal the six movements of Rubinstein's symphony which is, indeed, "vast and illimitable' like the ocean, Dr. von Bulow, according to not unfrequent custom of his, ed dressed to the members of the orchestra some disparaging remarks on the work they had just been playing, and ended by saying: "A symphony like this can be properly dealt with only by con ductor with long hair" Or. von Bulow wears his hair shorty On reading the report of Dr. von Bulow's little speech Rubinstein wrote from St. Petersburg to the paper which had published it, ex- pressing his surprise that in the midst of his important and numerous occupations the learned doctor should have found time to measure the length of his (Rubin- stein's) hair. He also inquired affection ately after the length of Dr. von Bulow's ears; wishing in particular to know whether they had grown since the even ing when, after hearing Rubinstein's s opera of "Nero" for the first time, he shook the composer warmly by the hand and even embraced him.-St. James Gazette,

DEATH ON THE RAIL.
A Middlebury Milkman Struck by the
 Cars This Morning.


 NAUGATUCK, Feb Civilian Cowan, the Middlebury milkman, was struck by the $40 down train on the Naugatuck road this morning, at the Water street crossing, and probably fatally injured. The locomotive gave warning whistle as Cowan drove towards the track in his covered wagon, but the rumbling of the wagon prevented his hearing. The Swede coachman of J. H. Whittemore. who was driving behind Cowan shouted, to him, but he did not realize his danger until the horse was fairly upon the track. As the locomotive whistled the second time Cowan whipped up his horse. but was too late. The locomotive struck the hind cad of the wagon, knocking it into kindling wood and scattering the milk cans and milk tickets all over the road. Cowan' landed upon his head and when picked up by the train hands was insensible and surround ed by large pool of blood. He was placed upon the train and taken to the depot where he was attended by Drs Fitzgerald and Spring. The wound was dressed and the injured man taken to his home in Middlebury in Mulveys ex- press. Both doctors went to Middlebury and did all that could be done for the sufferer, but concussion of the brain has set in and there is no hope of his recov- cry, his death being only a question of few hours.

Why He Did Not Write.

Those persons in whom certain senses are defective have often greater cause for repining than is generally supposed. For example: one young lady who is very near sighted has often been told by her brother that he perceives that to be the reason why she never sees the point of 9 joke.
 Thomas Landseer, the brother of the famous animal painter, was perfectly deaf during the last years of his life. When his brother Edwin was at one time travelling abroad, some one remon- strated with him for not writing to his brother, as he had promised.
 What's the use?" was the reply "He's too deaf to hear from us."- Youths Companion.

DonneIly's Note Book.

Ignatius Donnelly does not trust to his memory for all the odd anecdotes and funny stories with which he elaborates his speeches on any and all occasions, but he follows the example of Abraham Lincoln and keeps note book which is full of them. He keeps the note books in a drawer at home and looks them over, not only when he wants one for a speech, but whenever he gets blue. He says that his note books are better medi cine than anything the doctors can pre- scribe. Some one who professed to have seen the inside of one of Mr. Donnelly' s note books says that when the sage gets a good anecdote or a striking bit of poetry, he makes a marginal note beside it of some man whom it will fit.-Minne apolis Tribune.

There are two factions among the base ball men there, and the new men don't want to let the old men in. The consequences are that there is not likely to be any base ball in the town. One of the new base ball men is a judge, and he says that he will do everything in his power to help the game but umpire" :" Whats the matter with Waterbury?
 The rink was filled last night when the Bridgeport league team skated out upon the floor and circled about the surface arm in arm with the Blues. It was reminder of old times to see Men ard, Frazier, Conway and Williams in their old haunts. Pierce, who was the only stranger to Waterbury, is dandy, and his juggling of the ball filled the large audience with delight. Menard played fast game and 'Kid" Conway as usual was up to many tricks but was foored almost every time he attempted his funny business. Williams at goal played fair game, but as usual when the battle waxed warm he many times left his cage and followed the ball out upon the floor. The Waterburys played an even game and gave their league leaders hard battle. The team was composed of Griffin, Woods, Guest, H. Whiting, E. Whiting. The score was 10 to 5 in favor of Bridgeport.

At length the oldest Of the sisters persuaded little Max to take the dog back where he found it, or to give it away, and gave him threepence for his trouble.

 "Well, what have you done with that ugly brute?" the latter inquired.

DANCING AND BANQUETING. Reception to the Employees or tne
 Waterbury Manufacturing Go.

City hall probably never looked more inviting than last night at the compli- mentary reception and ball of the em- ployes of the Waterbury Manufacturing company. The body of the hall was beautifully decorated with festoons and emblems suspended with all the best skill of Mir Burkitt in graceful and pretty arches from the ceiling around the build ing. On the stage, surrounded on all sides | Severn's orchestra of Hartford, ten pieces. The fragrant aroma of the flow CTS, coupled with the delicious strains of music from the orchestra served to make the large audience one of the most en- | ioyable and pleasant parties the City hall has ever held. The concert programme of five numbers was well rendered and received merited applause. The pro- gramme of dances was an extended one, twenty-two numbers being necessary to satisfy the happy party. The grand march of 200 couples was led by Mir Richard Ashburn, superintendent of the company, and Miss NJ. Walsh, forelady of the packing room.
 Everyone entered into the pleasures of the evening. Even stald old resi- dents, who have not for years indulged in the delights of a dance, forgot for once their usual reserve and on the | beautiful crashed floor revel9d in the my steries of the dance. At 12:30 the announcement was made that supper was in waiting at the armory and soon the gay dancers had assembled in that imprompteu dining hall, and were enjoying the excellent supper served by Landlord David and his corps of 30 assistants. The supper needs no further praise than to say that not a person left the 5 large tables dissatis- fled. It is estimated that at least SOC people sat down to the festive board. H. s. Chase, by whom the reception was given was everywhere looking after the comfort of his guests. The Amphion orche stra under leader George Rudolph discoursed appetizing strains of music during the progress of the supper and served to enhance the pleasures of the feast. It was early in the morning hours when the party disbanded, al wishing for continuance of the recep tion. The following committees haC charge of the ball: Arrangements-J w. Burns, J. A. Knox, J. w.
