Theodore Thomas Stories,

There will be Comparatively flew to regret
Theodore Thomas troubles in Chicago, says
the New York Press. 1t will be remembered
that when the American Opera Company sus-
pended business there was a fine legacy of
lawsuits and claims for broken cont racts
and unpaid salaries. No one of these came
from the orchestra or conductor for although
Mr.. Thomas received three times the com
pensatlon that was paid to DR.. Damrosch at
the Metropolitan or to Seidl afterward he ex-
tracted his pay every night. whether there
was anything for the principals and the poorer
chorus or not. In travelling there were some
rooms in hotels better than others but Mr.
Thomas did not complain; he always had the
best.
AS an operatic conductor the artists got
little sympathy from Mr. Thomas. Nine.
Helene Hastreiter, who was one of the best
artists in the company, had one encounter
with him, (which determined his position.
Thomas had given the wrong time to a part
In "OrfeO' and Nine. Hastreiter sang il cor
rectly, but not in accordance with Thomas
reading. Finally he objected, to which she
replied graciOusly: Mr.. Thomas / am ia
miliar with this part and know how il should
be sung. l shall therefore sing IL and the
orchestra will accompany me. 1 shall not
undertake to accompany the orchestra The
result was that Mr. Thomas was finally com
PEELED to ask her how she wanted it and she
told him.
One of The best stories of Mr.. Thomas dates
back to the centennial. Ofenbach was con
and some one told him that Mr.. Thomas
thought solittle of his music that he would
never play any selection from his operas at
his concerts. That is really too bad" was
the reply of the opera bouffe master. Il did

Origin of a Famous HYMN.

1t is well known that the hymn Hold the
Fort was inspired by the story of the signals
exchanged by Gems. Sherman and Corse when
the latter was besleged at Atlanta, Ga, but
few know how the idea was brought to Mr.
Moody mind. The Boston Globe saws that
once when Gen. and Mrs. Corse lived in
Chicago Mr.. Moody called While
there he took up hook that told the story
of that famous conflict in which Corse had
been so badly wounded, and seeing the
message from Gen, Sherman, Hold the fort
for l am coming!' exclaimed enthusiastic
ally: What magnificent motto that would
be for a marching song for the army of
Christ" And the day after the famous
hymn was written, beginning with Hold ire
fort, for l am coming, Jesus signals still" a
hymn that has been sung almost in every
hamlet on the continent, and whose strains
across the ocean have become familiar to the
ears of men who never heard Of Gen. Corse or
the beleaguered men at Altoona.

Each Man Had Iron Nerve.

There were four of us who had encamped

Dispatch. We had been prospecting for gold
with decidedly poor success, and were there

Not muscle of Bottoms body moved, and
IL seemed that he had ceased to breath. The
only motion apparent about his person was
caused by the snake crawliLg beneath his

able to make a move to save our iInperied

ugly head out of the opening in the front of

The first open Sunday at the worlds
fair was hardly the success the Sunday
openers expected. 1t has been estimated
that 90 600 paid admissions are necessary
TO Offset the average daily expenses of the
fair, and it was thought that the number
of Sunday visitors would go above that
figure, whereas only a few more than So
600 went in the first Sunday. However
there is little doubt that at the hight of
the fairs season Sunday admissions
would oftener 90 above the 100000 mark
than below it.

They Nay Think Better Of 1t.

II is announced that Drexel, Morgan &
Co, don't care whether the Mobile and
Birmingham railroad accepts the terms
offered under their plan for the reOrgani-
zation Of the Terminal properties or not.
In their reorganization pamphlet they
show that the road has not much more
than paid operating expenses during the
last three years The amount of its
bonded Indebtedness is $1,000, 600 and the
bonds bear 5 per cent. interest. The liXcd
charge, there ore, beyond operating OK
pcnses is S150,0U9 a year. In 1890 the road
earned $40, 637 above operating expenses.
In 1891 it earned net $780, and in 1892 it
failed to earn its operating expenses by
S13,S10
1t is estimated that this year it will
fall short of earning its operating ex-
pcnscs by about 81, 600. 1t has practi-
cally no equipment and its physical con
dltion is extremely bad 1t is said that The
life is almost exhausted in its nine miles
of trestles Under the circumstances,
it is not strange that Drexel, Morgan
& Co. arc indifferent as to the course the
ondholders of the road may pursue It
is evident that the hondholders will have
to put a great deal of money into the road
to make it pay expenses The chances
for getting an income on their invest
ment during this century are not prom
ising
The Macon and Northern and the
CHATTANOOGA, Rome and Columbus, the
two roads that are trying TO get into the
scheme for the reorganization of the Cen
trial, are apparently pretty much like the
Mobile and Birmingham road, so far as
their ability to earn their fixed charges
are concerned. They were not taken into
the CCntral's scheme, it is understood.
