JERoME.s FAST HORSE.
How the natcher's Cob Beu President
Grnnt In a Race.

Mr.. jerome was one OF General
Grants most intimate friends. lie and
Colonel Chadwick were almost INSOFAR
able companions In the days when the
general was president says the New
York Recorder. Chadwick was then
managing Wizards Hotel. In Wash
ington. and many a night he and
Leonard Jerome, Lawrence Jerome
and a few OF the other choice spirits
found their way across the lot back of
the White House to the rear entrance
OF the executive mansion-and TO a
quiet. pleasant hour or two with the
soldier-prcsident. One night General
Grant was describing in his terse way
the good points OF a horse which he
had been driving for a week or two.
and remarked that he thought the AMI
NAL would take the dust from no other
horse in Washington.

There was n butcher named Murphy
In Washington. who was IA reckless,

horse that Leonard jerome had long
wanted to buy. On the afternoon that
General Grant vas TO drive out Chad

Jerome 10 tho butcher, who did not
know the president.
You just bet / WILL was his an
swer. and he pulled up his horse until
the general had almost passed him.
Then the race began. The big.
strong-limbed and %splendidly groomed
animal OF the president for a time
drew away from the wiry little horse
that pulled the butcher cart, but In a
few minutes the situation changed.
Little by little that speedy cob, draw

the sulky, pushed itself far past II and
in two minutes was throwing the dirt OF

Cloudy SIZES and low
Not a wind 10 go
Whispering 10 the yellow woo
All that winds may know.
Here a berry drops,
There a leaf hangs still;
Melancholy gathers slowly
Over dale aud Hill.
While the darkening day
Deepcns duskier gray,
Stealthy shadows softly steal
Down the woodland way;
Feeble flowers, unwept,
Fade along the field,
With the mystery Of their history
Persisted, unrevealed.
IL we two tonight,
Ina the uncertain light,
Meet, touch hands-half-shadowy
Each 20 others sight
Sudden thrill may loose
Lips from silence thrall,
Sweetest vision finds friition,
Love be all in ALL

SWEET SOUNDS.
STUDENTS OF THE WHEELING CONSERVATORY
MAKE MELODY.
L Fine Programme Rendered at Arion Hall-Aany
Well Known Musical People in the
As5snblaga.

Sounds of sweet concord permeated
the atmosphere at Arion Hall last even
ing. It was the occasion of the period
ical musical recital given by the pupils
Of the Wheeling Conservatory Of Music
and those who could not extract some
degree of pleasure ont of the very excel
lent programme furnished. must have
been fit for treason, stratagem and sun
dry other things of which the poet has
spoken. Despite the heat that prevailed
and AriOn Hall is particularly warm
in summer by reason Of the ineiiciency
Of draughts-there was a large and
fashionable asSemblage present, and IN
Guided in the gathering were many OF
the well-known and prominent factors
in musical circles.
Ihe programme opened with a cor"
net duet by Ed. Cunningham and How
ana Grewe, which was finely rendered,
and loudly applauded. The second
number on the programme was piano
solo by Master RAY Lallance, who gave
unQuestiOnable evidence of his talent In
the Instrumental line. One Of the tea-
| lures of the evening was a violin solo
entitled Come TO Me-" by Miss Lula
Carr, who has great command Of this
instrument. She produced very sweet
and even melody. In the piano solo en-
titled ''Medltation," Miss Carrie Stroeh-
lein was heard TO good advantage. She
showed a mastery over the keys that
was remarkable. After finely render
ed vocal solo by Miss Abbie Radcliffe
came a piano duet by Ed. Luke and
John Moore, which proved to be
one of the most entertaining
numbers on the programme. A
reliShable number was The aria by Miss
Lizze Juergcns who drew forth I'M
Stinted plaudits. The piano selection
"PoliSh Dance" by Robert Gilchrst,
and "Impromptu" by Miss Flora Brad
shaw were alike taking attractions Of
| the evening, and both came in for their
full share Of appreciation.
By way of variety Robert Luke gave
solo on the fute which formed no in
considerable part of the evenings en-
/ tertainment. Miss Annie Pelley favored
the audience with a delightful song,
and the piano duett by Miss Annie
Shaw and Miss Nina Boslcy was clever
| ~ executed.
Part second OF the programme opened
with a plano solo by Miss Helen Mccoy,
followed by @ song by Miss Sue Brad
shaw, both Of which were well received.
Miss Rose Hoffman distinguished her
self at the piano, as did alSo Miss Gertie
Stewart. Among piano duets Of the
evening, none were enjoyed more than
that given ty Herman Arbcnz and Al
fred Spell. A share of the glory was
also accorded Miss Annie Shaw and Miss
Nina BoSley, who extracted some
very enhancing melody from the ivories
In a piano duet Other piano solos
finely rendered were those by Lawrence
Wheat, ana also by Miss Jessie Turner,
both of whom eyinced marked proGcien-
cy, and they were loudly encored.
IL was an admirable concert through
out. and just such one as showed of
TO good advantage the superior musical
training afforded at the Wheeling Con-
! seryGtory of Iusic.
