Mozart's sad notion that the re-
QUEEN he had undertaken to write
for his mysterious customer would
be his own death-Chant, proved as
prophetic as HOgarth's serious assent
to the jocular suggestion when "The
End of All Things" was completed
there would be an end to the painter.
Fechter's intuition was not at
fault when it made him urge the
sculptor taking his instructions re-
specting his last resting-place, to set
to work at once, as there was no time
to lose; when the tomb was ready for
the tenant the tenant was ready for
the tomb.
Tom Sheridan, bidding Angelo
good-by with the remark, 81 have
twenty months to live" gagged the
term Of his existence to a nicely.
Awakened from a sick mans SUM
Der by the baying Of hounds and the
uproar attending the pulling down Of
a stag in a neighbours garden, sport
hating Millet exclaimed, ut is an
omen!" and in a few days took leave
of pencil and paper forever.
Not long before his fatal illness,
Prince Albert said to the Queen:
81 do not cling to life. You do,
but l set no store by it, If l knew
that those l loved were well cared

morrow. am sure If had a severe

throughout the United States.
The State Normal school headquar-
ters was in the speakers room in the
rear OF the presidents desk. The re-
union was held in the senate chamber.
Superintendent Wooster, Of the Kan
sac educational exhibit at the worlds
fair, has number of things displayed
in his room off representative hall that
will be sent to Chicago He has shown
considerable diplomacy in preparing q
large chart that shows in most strik-
ing manner the amounts donated to the
exhibit fund by the various Kansas
cities and just as striking are the blanks
that stand for the cities that have raised
no funds,
A painting of the Oldest country
school house in the state is on exhibit
ton at the association. 1t is a log
structure, appearing to be about twenty
by thirty feet in size 1t is situated
near where Fort Leavenworth now
stands The school was taught in it by
V. X. Stanley in the spring Of 1856.
There was building in WYandotte
county in 1847, but it was for Indian
children; but this is the first building
for white children in the state. Mr..
Stanley is now member Of the school
board and a real estate dealer at
Wichita. The picture was painted by
his wife.
In his address Superintendent Winans
gave few facts regarding what is ex-
pected Of state superintendent that
he said might be somewhat OF solace
to q few Of those present. He said his
four years of Office had been the busiest
and most responsible Of the twenty
five years he had been engaged in the
school work. In the four years he held
$50 public meetings in 100 out of the
LOG counties in the state. He ad-
dressed sixty graduating classes; he
travelled as far as three times around,
the globe right here in Kansas; he
spoke to eight district associations and
five state conventions, and besides all
the duties of his office he had much of
the labor and duty connected with the
Investment of 100000 Of school
bonds.
The state agricultural college had a
fine exhibit of drawings and pictures
prepared for exhibition at Chicago next
summer. 1t was shown in the lieuten-
ant governors Office in the east wing.
The normal school exhibit in the
room back Of the speakers desk in rep
resentative hall was very good. Some
very beautiful drawings, plaster of paris
casts, ETC., we've shown. Two Of the
drawings deserving of special mention
are design and elevation for country
school house, by Miss Essie Means, and
the other q plan and elevation of a
modern city residence, drawn by Miss
T. M. Brio.
The State Normal school held it's re-
union at the senate chamber after the
concert at the opera house. The hall
was decorated with lycopodium moss,
which was hung in fSstoons from the
chandeliers. There were about $50
happy school people in all, including
nine OF the faculty Of the school. At
late hour refreshments of corrections
and fruits were served, which everybody
enjoyed. President Taylor made brief
address.
There were numerous reunions, by
states and by schools. All were en-
loved.

This was the dawn Of my discovery
that DR.. Avellng cared In the least for

Linda tossed her curly blonde head

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.
A DiK Municipal Bell--Ths Hotel Boom
"A Millionaire CIub--CooI Air


for Hot Rooms.
ST. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 2O.-The fire in
tho City Treasurer Office has has
tened work on the new City Hall. The
great force Of builders is working pro-
tected from the wintry weather by
roofs thrown up temporarily, and
night crew. to work by electric light,
will begin early In the year. SO fast,
indeed, have been tho builders that the
architects are now being pressed by
them. The workmen are finishing the
last story. A huge bell, which the
makers say Is the most sonorous ever
cast In the United States, will be
swung in the dome and will strike tho
hours by means OF an electric current
sent from the observatory in Washing
ton University, This bell is toned to
the key Of "F," which musicians call
the key OF nature, and will be heard
for fifteen miles.
Heavy investments are now being
made by capitalists in the building Of
new hotels here The crowd that
annually taxes the entertainment
resources Of the city to their utmost
have called the attention of moneyed
men to this field for investment, and
they have been buying ground and
planning at rate which will enable
the city to take care of at least 100, 900
more people next fall than it did last
October Besides the immense hotel
of the Fall Festivities Association ON
Fourth street, two more large ones,
and several smaller ones will be open
when the throng begins to arrive at
the beginning Of the next festival
season. One Of these large hotels will
be fourteen stories high, and will be
within block of the Exposition build
ing e.
There are already more clubs than
one can count in St. Louis, uptown
and downtown, most of them with
handsome buildings and well-flled
treasures, but, till lately, there was
mono that could be called club of
millionaires This one is just being
organized now. The members will not
exceed fifty, and their combined
wealth will foot up over that number
of millions The principal object OF
the members of the club is TO have
some place downtown where they can
get a good luncheon in that interval
between the morning and afternoon,
which occurs somewhere about noon.
So they call their club the MONDAY
Club" The fees and dues will be
made so high that men who cannot
treat hundred-dollar bills Us pocket
money will not be inclined to enter.
The st, Louis architects say that by
next summer they will have machinery
perfected that will keep Offices as cool
in the hot weather as the steam coils
make them warm in the winter The
device is simply radiator in the room,
connected with the underground pipes
of company that is now making
orey by pumping cold air through
the streets to refrigerating establish
ments. The scheme Is one that has
been known to be practicable for
long time, but it has not been put into
operation in any large city because no
company dealing in refrigeration
could get the right to lay pipes under
the streets. st. Louis is the only town
where the pipes have been laid, but
other cities will doubtless follow the
example as soon as the success OF the
here is seen.

CHAPTER IL,

In the year 1856 we drifted again to
Berlin for the fourth or fifth time. A
young physician, named Olaf Aveling, q
Dane who had already won some little
note in the medical and surgl al world
and was believed anxious to win con-
siderable more, came very often to see
US, and with Schreiner's full sanction
made repeated minute eXaminatit us Of
the peculiar link that bound us together.
1 had never especially liked Avellng.
He struck me as cold and unsympa-
thetic, and 1 could not but comprehend
hat IL he should ever make a proposal
to perform upon us a distinctive opera
ton, 1t would be from motives Of a
severely selfish character.
Still, liked his conversation, which
was often brilliant and forcible. He
was handsome fellow, with pale,
keen face lit by small though shining
dark eyes, and an air OF command and
assertion which became his shapely
build
All in all, rather priced his visits;
and though for many days he did not
let fall even single hint that he de-
sired to operate upon our bond OF flesh,
he still contrived to make 1t clear that
such was his actual aim and wish.
Shortly after our arrival In Berlin the
daughter Of Schreiner left a relative
with whom she had been living since
her graduation at the German boarding
school, and came to dwell with her
father. l took this for sign that
Schrelner had finally yielded to my
persuasions on a certain subject, and
rejoiced in consequence.
One day I said to our friend: This
Is a pretty little home, and l hope sin
cerely that instead Of merely passing
the next few months here for purposes
Of rest, we may reside indefinitely under
its peaceful roof"
Oscar Schreiner started, while Con-
rad looked up a. me inquiringly with
his placid, trustful eyes.
DO you mean, brother" he asked
that you want us never to appear in
public any more2"
"Never!" l said emphatically, and fix
ed my gaze upon Schreiner. Have we
not gained enough?" l went on. Con
rad and can live comfortably on oul
money for the rest OF our days, be they
many or few. As for yourself, you have
acquired snug little fortune beyond
all doubt"
Yes" said SChreiner, Il have tol'
you every thuler"
"Of course you have" broke in, witt
impetus. THAT is just my reason TO
now speaking straight to the point
And the point, dear Os, ar, is this: LIE
us give up 'showmanship' forever.

Annual Y. M. c. A. Meeting.

The report Of the chairman Of the
finance committee shows that 427 con-
tributors gave an average Of $40 each;
that $500 has been paid in improve
ments and on old indebtedness; that the
running expenses amounted to $267.4O
per month.
The association has considerable in
debtedness that accumulated in the two
or three years last past and the early
part Of 1892.
Some months ago leading business
mon agreed to pay tho last 500 Of this
indebtedness, and at the meeting
another business man agreed to pay
next to the last 500. Something over
$500 has been paid on thls old debt
during the past six months, and the
directors hope to get clear OF the bal
ance during 1898.
