A Story of Mozart and Beethoven.

Eugene Fields London Letter in the Chicago News.
Here is an interesting story, which does not
occur In Louis Engels most charming book of
anecdotes and "reminiscences Of musicians, but
| which in point of interest and of prettincss is
of piece with the narratives contai ned there
in. When Ludwig Beethoven first visited the
Austrian court he was sixteen years of age.
Well provided with letters Of introduction to
the Emperor Joseph, he proceeded slono to the
palace determined to play his way into the
affections of the monarch. Admitted to the
palace he was met in an ante chamber by q
very civil gentleman, who told him that the
emperor could not we'll receive him then. but
would be glad to have him present himself that
evening for an audience in the Augarten.
Attracted by the quiet and friendly demeanor
Of this person young Beethoven engagedln con-
versation with him and presently discovered
that he was the emperor's barber, discovery
arising from the strangers casual admission
that he shaved the emperor every morning."
Tell me-" demanded the youth, lis he in
dulgent or severe?'
THAT depends" answered the barber;
"when it comes to music matters he is strict
enough"
''Yes, 1 know what that MEANS" said Beetho-
ven, sneeringly; "he plays the piano a little
! and strums away on the violoncello and COM
poses sonatas, but between you and me, these
big people don't carry their music studies very
far after all"
ms honest expression OF opinion seemed to
amuse the barber nightly; he simply roare
with laughter.
That evening at the appointed hour Beeth-
| oven came to the Augarten and was shown
into the music room, where the emperor and
a friend were seated in conversation. Intense
| was the young musicians horror to learn that
| the supposed barber and the emperor were
one! But the emperor took the joke with such
| amazing good humor that Beethoven, for his
part, was willing to forgive and forget. He
seated himself at the piano and at the empe-
rors request improvised on a theme from
Mozart's "Zarastro." This he did 80 remark
| ably that his auditors were delighted. The
emperor's companion could not restrain his
| JOY; running across the room, he threw his
arms about the youth, crying: such taste.
| such skill! The youth who can so interpret the
thought Of another composer will one day be a
| great master in the art himself
"Ah but the air itself is SO beautiful" said
Beethoven, and then he added: 'Mozart's
| music is divine"
''My lad" cried the emperor, beaming with
| delight, "do you know whom you are talking
| to? 1t is Mozart himself to whom you have
been playing and whose lips have just pre-
dicted the great future that lies before YOU

Jack The Haircutter," has made his tenth
attack on the locks OF the Detroit girls with
long tresses. Lucy Gerlach, stout young
maiden of fifteen, was seized, but she strug,
gled 81 that she lost only about half her hair.
A man who does not answer any description OF
the nocturnal haircutter attempted to sell a
miscellaneous lot of hair to a local dealer, and
when she attempted to detain him he made his
escape. The general opinion is that there are
at least two men, one of whom watches while
the other does the hair cutting. The thief
takes nothing but long hair and seems to have
a decided preference for black and chestnut

1t Seemed Like a Rebuke.

FROM the Lewiston Journal.
Residents in a certain seaport town Of Lin
coin county remember q singular circumstance
connected with the erection of its oldest
church. There is deal of superstition as ma
tive to these lodges as the ill-smelling rock
weed.
The townspeople we're very poor when the
old church was built. The actual amount OF
money given toward it was very small indeed.
Hardly person in town but contributed some
material however. In the northern part clos
by a cove whose banks were mantled with
beautiful moss after the first few feet of cliff,
and crowned with sturdy trees and straight,
stalwart pines, lived man noted for other
things than generosity. The soliciting COM
mlttee put of asking for his contribution until
others had poured i'll and the church was sure
thing. Then they waited upon him and said:
MIR. Blank, we want that monster riJe of
yours for Your contribution TO the churj h; it
will mako an excellent sill. VIII you give it
for your part?'
Give my best pine tree; give any Of my
pine? No. sir. Not one of them shall come
down.
Nothing could shake this determination. In
less than a week arose one Of the heaviest
storms ever known on that coast. And not one
OF those proudest pines Ill the mans forest was
left; and the tallest pine, the one wanted for a
Sill, was riven from top to bottom by the thun-
derbolt.
