Gounod,s Elr.t earuinx..


The way Gounod earned the frs.

the Freres Lionnet in their Memoirs
They met him at the house of Escudiel
in 1855. At that date he had alread,
produced his "Snppho." but at his owl
expense. He asked the Liornets, whc
were then in vogue in the Paris salons.

courage them be sat down to the piano
and sang few of them himself. They
admired them greatly. EYES," he said,
everybody admires them, everybody

said to be too difficult for the public. By
the way, have just composed a song to

compositions, and think it would suit

Anatole Lionnet promised to sing it
the next evening and did so. He then
spoke to the publisher about it, but the
same objection was made. Eyes, it is
charming, no doubt said the publisher,
"but it will not sell. However, if NJ.
Lionnet will undertake to sing it for a
few nights will consent to publish it
and give Gounod 100 francs for it,"
Gounod joyfully accepted the modest
sum; it was the first he had earned

A WHITE METAL CONFERENCE,
Meeting Of Silver Leaders at
Washington.
Men of All Shades of Political Faith
Participating.
Possibilities of a New Political Party
with Free Silver as the Solo Plank
of the Platform Under
Con sid eration.
By the Associated Press

| BY the Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.--A conference
of the leading silver men of the coun-
litry to devise ways for continuing the
\ fight for free silver, opened today.
Among those present were Generals
Weaver and Field of Iowa, Senators
Jones and Stewart of Nevada, Kolb of
Alabama, Moreton Frew, British
authority on bimetallism, and Grand
Master Workman Sovereign. About so
in all were present, representing the
silver movements bone and einew Gen.
Weaver says the conference will prob
alNy last several days, and there will be
a very thorough canvass OF the situa-
tiou. The conference is being held
with <Iosed doore.
The possibilities of a new political
party W .th free silver coinage as the sole
plank in the platform was among the
deyelopme utD of the days secret session
of the silver leaders. The day was de-
voted to ex pressions of opinion OF the
representatiy ss of the different states.
They were un uormly to the effect that
the working D sople and farmers were
dissatisfied with the course of congress
in repeating the purchase clause OF the
Sherman act. SENATORS Stewart and
Jones of Nevada, N. Nater Workman Sow
ereign of the KIM Sht OF Labor and
National Lecturer Whitehead of the
Change were among tt Letspeakers IN the
afternoon.
During the address Ex-senator Jonos
an interesting colloquy OF currec between
him and Master Workm an sovereign,
the latter suggested that hen the labor
ranks had assisted toward securing tree
silver, there should be re-, nprocity py
which the silver leaders wou td assist N
securing labor reforms. 'nes con-
tended that all labor questit Us were
merged in the money question y ana It's
solution would settle them all. Sow
ereign and the senator at last net on
common grounds in agreeing th vt the
silver question be made the parsm ount
issue OF all labor and industrial or gan
zations.
Frequent references were made duri ug
the speeches today to tine necessity vi
organizing silver party, made up OF tn '
elements heretofore gathered under the
standards of the Populists, National
Grange, Knights OF Labor, Farmers AL
lance, etc. The tendency of the con-
ference ia towards this new organization.
The probability is that the frat effort OF
the united forces will be exsrted to carry
the congressional elections next fall. 1t
is undecided whether this will be
done by nominating independent can
didates for congress, or by endorsing
such candidates of the old parties who
have shown by their records that they
favor silver.
The belief of those attending the con-
ference is that national silver ticket
will be put in the field az the re-
suit of the present meeting and of the
victories they hope to achieve in the
congressional elections. Senator Jones
seid at the close of the days conference
that this new national party Was among
the strong probabilities of the meeting.

resulting from the multiplied disasters
caused by the bridge. The enterprise
languished several times, and at one
time it looked like those who had pro-
jected it would reap nothing but loss.
However, in March last they succeeded
in disposng OF the property to syndi-
cate under terms very advantageous.
1t is estimated by the engineers OF the
Phoenix Bridge company that the loss to
the bridge will be at least $100, 900.
THE THIRD SPAN CoLLAPsEs.
The third span of the bridge collapsed
at s 20 tonight. So far as known no one
was injured. This will be an additional
loss of about 5000 to the bridge COM
pany. This span had been completed,
but the collapse of the fourth epan to-
day is supposed to have loosened and
displaced it.

PoLYGAMy Is NOT DEAD.


so Says the Ladies' Home Missionary
Society.
WAsHINaToN, Dec. 15.--The bill for
the admission OF Utah will probably be
opposed in the senate by it's old antag-
onist. the Ladies' Home Missionary So
ciety, which is seeking an opportunity
to be heard by the senate committee
ON territories. The members
OF this society take exception
to the statements which have been
made very freely by the advocates OF
the bill, that polygsmy is dead in Utah,
snd say on the contrary they have posi-
tive information that the contrary is
the case. They obtain this iniorma-
tion from the missionaries seat
tered through that territory. The
information is to the effect that
the practice is not carried on as
openly as formerly, but assert that in
places remote from towns and centers
OF hebitatlon there is little or no abate-
ment in the custom. They also
say in towns and cities there
is covert observation OF the
cid doctrine, and that every
where among the Mormon people the
feeling in favor of polygamy is just as
strong as in the palmiest days of the
Mormons, and that if this feeling is sup
pressed a. sll it is done because of the
fear of the federal authoritiee. The ladies
argue that if the territory should
be admitted as state and federal
authority removed, the Mormons would
control the state organization and it
would be short time only before
the doctrine of polygamy would
again be openly taught and preached
as one Of the tenets of the Mormon peo-
pie. The society embraces large men,
bership in the Presby terian, Congrega-
tional and Methodist churches.

pressing effect in money centera, pre-

the arrangement for which had all but
been contaminated. The reverse was
blow from which the enterprise never
recovered in the hands of it's originatofs

leading spirit, broke himself and the
Masonic bank of this city in iurthering
the project, and finally sank bimself into
