The yagaries of Fame.

Sitting up late tonight. while rock

down an old anthology and turned over
its leaves with a wonder often felt be-
fore, at the number Of nlen who survive
in it by virtue of doing small things
well. Sometimes in fact. one thing has
been enough to give a man his world
wide fame, and send him down to pos
terity hand in hand with the greatest.

Things go much by names nowadays,

How to Encourage Music in America.
What we need is American opera
given under American influences. This
can be brought about only by an elab-
crate and well organized system Of mu-
steal education. We have plenty of good
material for the making Of musicians,
but this material is buried beneath the
army of foreign artists who come annu-
ally to our shores, and whom Americans
have formed the habit of encouraging
often simply because they are foreign
ers. In order to bring out this latent
material a school for opera should be
established here. Ii conducted on the
best principles it would be of inestima-
BILE advantage. 1t would keep at home
those young musicians who annually go
abroad to study, sometimes under the
greatest disadvantages, and it would en-
courage those to undertake a musical
education who are deferred from it by
the expense which they would incur by
European training.
The school should not only train sing
ers. but also young men who are am
billions to become orchestra players and
orchestra leaders. There should be in
connection with il a theater il which
operas might be produced. The insti-
tuition would thus be a practical school
for opera. The first year after its es-
Enlistment should be spent in funda-
mental training. Private performances
CT opera might be given, but no public
ones until the artists had been thorough
" trained.-Anton Seidl in Forum.

TIE immigration Question.

WASHINGTON, December 20. - The
committee on immigration met this
morning to confer about the bill intro
duced by Mr. Chandler in the Senate to
suspend immigration for a year. Walter
T. Griffin, commercial agent of the
United States at Limoges, France, gave
the result of his Investigations into the
condition of the laboring classes OF Eu-
roge in districts where the greater part
of our immigrants come from. After
hearing Mr.. Griffin, the committee went
into secret session and discussed various
measures introduced in both houses for
the suspension of immigration during the
prevalence of cholera abroad. The dis
cussion resulted in the agreement on
subcommittee on legislation, to consist
of six members-three from the Senate
and three from the House, to be appoint
ed by the chairmen of the two commit
tees. Senator Chandler and Representa-
tive Stump are a subcommittee to con-
slider all measures now before the com
mittee proposing to suspend inmigrar
ton, and perfect some measure for this
purpose by Thursday, on which day they
are to report to the joint committee. The
members of the joint committee are not
vet selected.

THE JURORS WERE FINED.
Thev Asked for Decks, Drinks and Dinners
and Then Returned a Ridic-
ulous Verdict.

CHICAGO, December 20.-Nine men
walked out of Judge Brentano's court
room today looking decidedly sheepish.
They were members of a jury and had
lust been fined $40 each and received a
scathing censure from the court. The
men were included in jury to try the
case of Mrs. Emma Angel, who sued for
damages for the death of her daughter
Mabel, little girl nine years of age.
The jury found the defendants respon-
sible for the death of the child and gull
ty of gross negligence, but fixed the
damages at one cent. When the verdict
was handed to Judge Brentano his face
was study. He arose after a few min
utes deliberation, reviewed the case,
human life and continued: "This court
does not know the standard by which
these 12 men measured the value of this
human life, unless it may assume that
they applied standard which they sup
posed would be properly applicable in
case the value of their own existence
was a subject of determination by some
Jury of their own peers. The finding of
this Jury shocks the mind of man-it is
monstrous and revolving and can find 10
support by court possessed of any self
respect. Perhaps the finding of this en-
lightened jury may be explained by the
fact that they, or-to be just to three of
them, at least-that nine of these peers
made requisition on this court while
in the Jury room, supposedly deliberat-
ing on the case that had been submitted
to them, for the following articles: One
case of export beer, one quart of whis-
key, one dozen bottles of ale, three decks
of cards, one box of cigars and dinners
for l2. What their verdict would have
been had this requsition been honored
cannot be stated; it can only be conjec-
tured''
Judge Brentano set aside the verdict
and granted new trial. He imposed a
fine Of $40 upon each of the nine men,
after again scoring them. As he finished,
one of them arose and said: Now
Judge. we did It mean" 'sStopl stopf'
said the Judge, 'I fine you s25additional
and if any one else says word viii
double his fine. Get out of this cnurt-
room. get out of my sight. Outn. The
appearance of the usually calm. collected
and dignifed jurist frightened the jurors
and made every person in the room feel
comfortable, The nine men cringed and
onailed. and then SUNK out of the court
room. their service on the Jury just pay
ing the amount of the fine.

DESCENDANT OF A PRESIDENT.
James K. Polk's granddaughter Brings
Her Troubles to Court.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, December 20
For months past a sensation has been
brewing here in which national society
has been interested. 1t exploded to-day
in the filing of bill for divorce and ali
mony by Mrs. Saidee Polk Gardner
against her husband, NJ. NJ. Gardner, one
of the wealthiest men in the state. Mrs
Gardner is the granddaughter of Presi-
dent James Knox Polk, and was belle
in Washington and New York for three
seasons at the former place being pro-
nounced the most beautiful woman
Nashville had ever sent to the capital.
On May IL, 1891 she was married to
Mr.. Gard dner. They lived together in
comparative happiness for six months,
when for some unaccountable reason
Gardner left his beautiful wife and gave
her no explanation. Every sort OF ru-
NOR has been put on wings about them,
and as result the friends of both stand
facing each other. Mrs. Gardner files
letters written to her by her husband be-
fore and after the marriage, which are
full Of loving vows of eternal fideti-
ty.
There was rumor that he left his
wife because Mrs. Fall, her mother,
wanted to control him and his immense
property. This is exploded by exhibits
of letters to Mrs. Fall by Gardner, whose
seeming love and respect for her knew
no bounds. It is now said Gardner left
his wife because he was miserly, and
did not want her to spend his money and
dress as she was used to.
She charges that she has always been
faithful and dutiful wife and tried
time and again to win him back; that he
has wantonly and deliberately deserted
her and refused to provide for her sup
port, and that he is now trying to dis
pose of his property to defeat her claims
for alimony. She asks for alimony, that
a receiver be appointed and that the
bonds of marriage be Dissolved.
Chancellor Allison issued an iniunc-
tion restraining Gardner from selling
property today.

An Adverse Report on the Bf1l to Natu-
ralize Illegally Naturalized Persons
WASHINGTON, December 20. - Mr..
Oates of Alabama, by authority, today re-
ported adversely the bill introduced by
Representative Cummings to make valid
naturalization certificates issued by the
municipal court of Biddeford, Me. Mr..
Oates. in his report on the bill, says the
object is to naturalize certain persons
whose natura lization by he municipal
court of Biddeford, Me-, was declared
null and void by the Supreme Court of
the United States. The question that
confronts the committee at the outset,
he SAYS, is, sHas Congress the power to
naturalize an alien?'' He concludes that
it has not. There nsver has been any adj
Indication as to the power of Congress
to pass a bill directly naturalizing an
alien without the intervention of a court.
The report, to some extent. has applica-
ton to the cases Of the captains of the
steamers City of New York and City of
Paris. should an effort be made to natu-
ralize them by special act of Congress.

Berry complained that the Kanawa Dis
between Eastern points and st. Paul,

1t is thought that trouble on the score
of Mr.. Berrys complaint is not likely.
The Kanawha Dispatch is known to nave

tition sent him from st. Louis. 1t stated
that after years of robbery and oppress-

the authorities and the supporters of the
Washburne-Hatch anti-option bill; and
that the bill was supposed to originate in
the very heat and glare Of robbery. The
petition asked that committee be ap-
pointed to visit Minneapolis and st. Paul,
and all other places where the combine
has existed between elevators, mills and
railroads and that in the meantime ac-
ton on the anti-option bill be suspended.
The petition was referred to the commit
tee on agriculture, as were numerous
other like petitions presented by senators
on both sides of the chamber.
The House resolution for holiday re-
