THEY BUSTED THE CORNER.
How Rash Speculator Was Dealt With in
California Long Ago.

From the Detroit News.
prominent Detroit merchant, who was in
business in San Francisco during the epoch of a
great commercial excitement, tells the follow
ing story which occurred in 1861 An agent of a
big London and Paris banking firm conceived
the idea of cornering -four, just as n side issue
to the firms regular business, in which its
money invested there was paying 40 per cent
The agent was a young man, named Aaron
Levi. In those days corner in grain or pro-
visions was not such common thing as now,
and possessed the charm of novelty Levi Sc
cured all the flour in the market at $50 per bar
rel; In few days the price began to soar, and
before it stopped reached the unprecedented
figure of $50 per barrel. 1t required pluck to
hold it there, as vessels loaded with flour were
arriving daily. But Levi was equal to
1t, and bought the stuff as fast as it
come in at the fictitious price he had
boosted it up to. In the mean time evidence of
an approaching famine began to appear in the
scarcity OF this necessary article and it wasn't
long before those engaged in the mining dis
tricts were starving on account of Lewis little
scheme. The miners finally learned the cause
OF their famine and started in force for
"'trlsco." On their arrival they waited on
Mr.. Aaron Levi and a very short conversation
ensued. They gave that gentleman his choice
between death and an immediate resale of all
his Hour to the people from whom he bought it,
at the price he himself had given, and if that
was more than he could get then at the market
price for the time being.
Levi elected to live even on such terms 1t
is needless to say that to "unload' under such
circumstances would have ruined any but a
Crnsus. corner is said to sometimes act
like boomerang This afforded an excellent
instance OF that special popularity. Mr. A.
Levi found his corner very warm corner in
deed, and it was long before he again gave the
rein to his Vaulting ambition to grow rich ''be-
yond the dreams OF aVarice'' in a fortnight.

FITNESS OF THINGS.

Furnishing Room to Harmonic With
the Occupants Complexion.
From the n. Y Star.
Only few years ago there was such a mar
rowed understanding Of the niceties of interior
decoration that people actually laughed at the
idea of furnishing room to harmonize in gen
eral color effect with the complexion of its oc-
cupants says the UpholSterer. The humorous
columns of the great dailies were full of deco
rative jokes; the woman who would dress her
self to harmonize with her home surroundings,
or, rather dress her home to harmonize with
her appropriate colors or the man who would
throw the weight OF his individuality into his
study furnishings, were held up as subjects for
hilarious ridicule. The trouble was the subject
was in advance Of the people. But nowadays
we cannot affiliate the fair-fat-and-forty with
trail and delicate furnishings. Nine Pompa-
dour's style of furniture, with its heavy rolls
and massive uphosterings, are in the fat-and-
forty line, and we cannot associate the romp-
ing, maidenish impulses of fair girl with the
sturdy and solid surroundings of such a room.
On the contrary, we think of light maple wood
work, cobwebby curtains caught back with
pink ana blue, cream walls, and Japanese
rugs We would say that girl of a dead
matte color, who furnished her room in rose
Plnks ana steel grays, was egregiously ignorant
or wished TO appear at her worst, and nothing
is more woefully out of place than a healthy
vigorous, masculine man in the intricate be-
wildenng chaos of gingerly-furnished Louis
XVI room.

Washington Musical Club.

The many admirers of the Washington Mu-
steal Club will undoubtedly fill the Universalist
Church next Wednesday evening, when this
popular club gives its first concert for this
season. The programme on that occasion has
been selected with considerable care, with the
intention of making the entertainment of the
very highest order The club, consisting of
Mr.. Henry Xander, pianist; Mr. Herman
Rakeman, violinist, and Mr.. Paul Mersch,
violoncellist, will be assisted by that pleasing
and talented artist, Mrs. Julie L. Wyman, of
New York. Mrs. WymaR's beautiful mezzo-
soprano voice won the admiration of all the
musical people in New York and Boston when
she assisted the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
Particular interest is manifested in the rendi-
tion of Beethoven's famous Kreutzer Sonata,
the first and second movement of which will be
performed by Messrs. Xander and Rakeman.
This, the most difficult of all of Bee
thoven's piano and violin sonatas, was
dedicated by him to his celebrated contem-
porary, the violinist Rudolph Kreutzer, and
has since been universally called 1.-THE Kreut-
zer Sonata. The sale of seats, up to this date
has been unusuallylarge and the entertainment
will be made one of the musical treats OF the
season. Tickets can be obtained at ali the music
stores or from any of the members of the club

''An Estuary of the Potomac" and 'rhe Path
to the Observatory" all of which show careful
work and fidelity to nature. 1t is worthy of
note that the artist has drawn his inspiration
for each of these pictures from the picturesque
environs of Washington.
Mrs. Mary Tiers's signature is attached to
only one small still life-a clever bit of work
that found ready purchaser.
Miss Perrie's pictures, ''Morning on the Del
aware" and still life entitled "Fruit," exhibit
broader effects than are noticeable in some of
that lady's earlier work-a decided improve
ment upon her former pleasing, but too con-
scientious, style.
1t is matter for regret that Mr.. William H.
Holmes, whose work is well and favorably
known in New York, does not figure among
the Washington contributors.

Fruit Salad.

A dish which is becoming great fayorite
with epicures is fruit salad for desserts, com
posed of sliced oranges, bananas and Johnson's
Bahama brand of canned pineapple, grated,
silyer-forked, or sliced, as may be pre-
ferred, although in the latter case the
slices should be cut into small pieces. Mix the
fruit (slieed oranges, bananas, and grated pine
apple) with the juice of two Lemons, and place
in a salad or preserve dish in alternate layers of
fruit and powdered sugar. then put in the re-
frigerator to get cool an hour or two before
serving, and yon have dish which will delight
discriminating palates.

Father Kelly is one of the most popular as we'll

Arthur Beresford, an English gentleman,

day evening he said: a few DAYS ago
saw something in the Tribune about bill
TO license English actors. Such bill has
been presented to the County Council, but
whether il will pass or not is yet ques-
ton. In that bin there was a clause which
would have provided punishment for an
actor for gagging. In q forclble and
logical speech Mr.. Augustus Harris
killed that clause, and it's well he
did. for what would nearly all Of our
actors do if they were not permitted to
slip some Joke or local hit into tneir lines;

barred from gaoging. Your De Wolf Hop

Mark Twain's Crustincss.
fChicago Sews.I

Mark Twain's success in life seems 10
have made him crusty and sour. Years
ngo when be was struggling for fame and
sprtune on the Pacific Coast. those who
Lnew him said he was warm-hearted
and cordial. But he is certainly far
from That now. / saw him on the
styeet awhile ago, dressed in dark
business suit. He has an attractive face, a
snlendid head, set upon a pair Of strong
shoulders. His eyes are clear, and his
mouth denotes great frmness. His HAIR is
silyering gradually, although there is an
abundance of 1t. His moustache is reddish
md his eyebrows are heavy. Mr.. Clemens
lives IN style in Hartford. Conn. His home
IL on Pennington avenue. II is house
luxuriously furnished and filed with rare
nictures and books. The occupant of the
house adjoining is Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe, and not far away is the home of
Charles Dudley Warner. Mr.. Clemens
never talks about his books except to
those whom he knows intimately. But
there is one topic that he is willing to dis
cuss at any time. and that is international
copyright. In fact. it may be said that he
is n crank on the subject. His books still
sell well. His "Innocents Abroad" the
most successful Of all his literary ventures,
has a steady sale. and his fortune is esti-
mated by those who know him TO be con-
sideraDly over S2,000,0O0. Sometimes fun
pays.
