DR.. Hauslick once asked Schumann
how he got on with Wagner,
Not at all, replied Schumann; '.for
me Wagner is impossible Doubtless he
is very clever man, but he talks too
fast-one cannot get word in. .''
Some time after, in an interview which
Hauslick had with Wagner, al1usion was
made to Schumann.
With schumann, said Wagner, '.it
Is impossible to arrive at an understand
ing. He says nothing. Some years ago
on my return from Paris called upon
him to talk of operas, concerts. com

Tho Reading of Janvier's Poem.

An incident related by the late actor
Murdoch is very characteristic Of Abraham
Lincoln. Few who lived through the wal
have vet forgotten the poem Of the Sleep
ing Sentinel" which was written by Jan.
vier in commemoration Of an act Of elem.
ency by Lincoln in pardoning a young Yer
mont volunteer at the very moment when
ne had been led out to be shot for sleeping
at his post. The first public reading of thi:
poem by Nh Murdoch took place at the
White House. the president, the poet and
q large assembly being present. Before
reading the verses aloud Mr.. Murdoch pri.
vately pointed ont to Mr.. Janvier a slight
poetic license, where he had described the
arrival OF the president with the pardon as
being accompanied by the sounds of rolling
wheels, whereas Lincoln had ridden on
horseback to the place of execution.
Janvier thought it matter Of very
triaing consequence, and the reading pro
ceeded. At It's close the president and
many of the party were in tears. Lincoln
wiping the telltale drops from bis checks
said hastily in smothered voice, Very

HE ANSWERS THE CHARGE.
MIR. 8. s. CABOT Accounts For the Shortage
TO His House.

In view OF the charges made by the
Live Oak Distilery Company. OF Cincin-
natl. Ohio. against Mr. S. S. CABOT the
following statement is authorized by
him: Mr. CABOT is charged with failure
10 make correct statements OF sales
| and Collections There is an aggregate
discrepancy between his sales and remit
tances. covering a period or about twenty
wears. amounting 10 the sum OF about
twenty-eight thousand dollars.
MFR. Cadets answer 10 this charge Is
that the bulk OF the difference between
sales and money RENTED is TO be ac-
counted for by the difference between
the amount Of sales and ...e amount OF
goods actually delivered. In Illustration
OF this statement MIR. CABOT would send
orders TO his company for a car load
of whiskey, which when received and
gagged would be found 10 be short"
that is 20 say, barrels which should have
gagged ffty-hve gallons would only
gauge fifty-two or fifty-three gallons when
delivered The accounts OF sales were
credited by these differences and his
house refused 10 make the allowance TO
him. but charged It against him as in
debtedness to them.
The books Of the houses 10 which
he sold will show the difference The
transactions cover a period Of nearly
twenty years. nuring which time he
made sales aggregating more than
two millions Of dollars. II win take
month or more 10 get full statements
from the various houses TO which he
made sales. He was the agent OF the
Live Oak Company In the cities Of Wash
ington, Alexandria, Charlottesville,
Lynchburg. Roanoke, DanWlle, Rich
mond. Petersburg. and Norfolk. He was
In be towns
with full power Of discretion in the con-
duct Of the business
Mr. CABOT desires The Times 10 say
that as soon as fun statements can be
obtained from the Various houses TO
which he made sales the public viii
understand that he has been guilty Of
no delinquency or want OF fidelity

EVILS OF FREE MEDICAL RELIEF.
How London Dispensarfes Tend to DRAG
Down Many Otherwise Good People.

Down Many Otherwise Good People.
Gratis medical relief tends to pauperizs
in definite ways. The out patients begin
by getting physic and presently get food.
and the system "leads them afterward
openly TO solicit pecuniary aid" This viii.
afinr effect is proved by the fact that dur.
ing the 40 years from 1880 to 1859 the In.
crease IN the number OF hospital patients
has been five times greater than the increase
of population. and as there has not been
more disease the implication is obvious.
Moreover. the promise of advice for moth
ing attracts the mean spirited to the extent
that "the poor ore now being gradually
ousted out Of the consulting room by well
to do persons" People Of several hundreds
a year. even ND 10 thousand, apply as out
patients, going in disguise, 20 per cent OF
the ont patients in one large hospital hav-
ing "given false addresses" for the purpose
of concealing their identity.
Swarming as patients thus do, IL results
that each gets but little attention, minute
being the average for each, sometimes be-
ing diminished TO - seconds. Thus those
for whom the gratis advice is intended get
but little. Often assistance given Is merely
nominal" and is both a deception on the
public and q fraud upon the poor"
These gratuitous medical benefits. such
rs they arc. ARE conferred chiefly by the
members Of the unpaid professional stalls"
of these charities. Some Of them prescribe
ut the rate OF 3l9 patients in hours and %
minutes-a process sufficiently exhausting
for men already hard worked in their pri.
vato practice and sufficiently disheartenina
TO men with little private practice, who
thus give without payment aid which other.
wise they would get payment for very much
needed by them
So that tho GOO, 900 a year Of the metro
politan hospitals, which. il the annual
value of the lands and buildings occupied
were added, would reach very nearly FL, CO.,.
900, has largely the effect OF demoralizin2
the patients, taking medical care from
those it was intended for and giving it to
those whom 1t was not and obliging many
impecunious doctors and surgeons to work
hard for nothing.
These various experiences, then, fur
nished By societies and institutions sup
