DIR Dvorak's career began in poverty.
His father, Frank Dvorak, was the vii
lage butcher and innkeeper at Melahozo-
yer, Bohemia. The child learned from
wandering musicians to play the fiddle
and showed such aptitude that in 1853.
when nine years old, he was sent to
Zlonitz, where the village organist taught
him the rudiments of piano playing. In
1857, he began to earn his own living by
playing the viola in band that PLAYED
in cafes. He was at this time so poor
that once, when an opportunity present.
ed itself of hearing der Freischutz, z he
could not spare the necessary four cents.
His earnings then averaged about SO
month. The contract between DIR Dvor-
ak and the national conservatory is for
three years. at salary of $15, 900. Dr.
Dvorak is to have general charge of the
institution and personal direction of the
class in composition Its probable that
he will also direct the choir music and
orchestral concerts.

ostrich trimmings. From her head
swept flowing vail caught with white

Of the press. Mr.. Sage was doing
large business in options or puts and

the panic Of that year and lost . good
many hundred thousand dollars, and
since then has been more conservative
than he was before Still, this business
has amounted to 9 good many thousand
dollars soma days and has afforded a
number Of men an opportunity OF get

was one-eighth of per cent, and the

Engineer Knowblow, of the Erie, has
finally agreed to preside at the throttle
of Engine No. $40 of that road. This is
the machine that passed through the
two terrible wrecks on that road at Ra-
VIENNA on July and at Kent, Sept. 80.
When it came out of the Meadville shops
recently none of the boys wanted to sit
at the right hand side of the cab in the
unlucky engine. and it was only after
considerable persuasion that Engineer
knowblow was persuaded TO take charge
of the hooded locomotive. Railroaders
are like sailors, they have their super
stitions, and an engineman no more
likes to run on an unlucky machine than
does an old tar to sail on certain unfor-
tunate vessels.-Pittsburg Post
