Handel seems to have been an exceedingly
handsome man. His demeanor is described
as noble and majestic. his features were oeau-
tifully moulded. his eyes full OF sympathy. and
his general aspect was striking TO a degree.
In his youth. when he figured in the salons OF
Italy. all the ladies are reported to have been
in love with him. Several Of them actually
threw themselves at his head. but We do not

with the musical society OF London there Is

him and Handel to some extent returned her

affair that we do not know even her name or
anything about her beyond the fact that she
lived in London and was a Nom ber OF the
Aristocracy. The attachment between the
master and pupil continued for som time, and
Handel with his practical temper was anxious
to marry the girl. for whom no had conceived

Few persons are aware that for the exquisite
love music OF Schubert we are largely indebt-
cd to an incident in his private life. No doubt
his sentimental and romantic spirit qualified
him to cherish the seraphio form Of affection
exemplihed In the passion OF Dante for
Beatrice. Nevertheless. circumstances forced
him to realize In his wi experience and to
reproduce In his music the most exalted con-
osDtion OF the tender passion. Dante fell In

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 2.-Exactly at noon
the two houses of the legislature were
convened for the thirtieth session.
In the assembly FL. A. Mason, chief
clerk in the twenty-ninth session, called
the assembly to order. P. r. Adams, as
semblyman-elect from Santa Cruz, for
merly clergyman, made prayer. The
members elect then took the oath OF
Office and their seats, on motion of
Shanahan, according to a list made up
by the secretary of state. Chief Clerk
Mason made the usual temporary ap-
pointments, and the rules of the last
Democratic assembly were adopted tenn
porarily. The assembly then adjourned
till IL a. m. tomorrow.
Lieut.. Gov. Reddick called the senate
to order, and Secretary Brabdon called
the roll of hold-overs. The newly
elected members were at once sworn in,
and the senate adjourned till IL am.
tomorrow.
immediately on adjournment the Re
publican senators met in caucus.
As neither house was organized to-
day, the election of senator cannot
take place till Tuesday, January 18th,
as the law requires the election of
United States senators to take place on
the second Tuesday after organization.
A caucus OF Democratic aseemblymen

Pretty Legislative and Senatorial
Fight in Nebraska.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 2.-The general
assembly meets tomorrow and will have
one of the prettiest three cornered fights
on it's hands ever witnessed in a legisla-
tive body. There are three bodies, and
neither has strength enough to organize
either house without help from one OF
the others. Thus far no plan OF 6 COM
binatiOn has beon agreed on, hut it ia
possible the Democrats and Independent
party may get together before the ses-
sion opens. This legislature will elect a
successor to United States Senator Pad
dock, and will be called on to enact i'm
portant railroad legislation and deal
with other matters of vital interest to
the state. So it is important to each
party to be able to direct this
work. It has been suggested that the
anti-monopoly membere, irrespective of
party, organize the body, and let the
senatorial fight take care of itself. In
this connection there is peculiar
feature in Knox county. BY decision
OF the supreme court Saturday a Re-
publican will be sent to the house from
that county, instead of an Independent.
To accomplish this it is necessary to
serve the courts writ on the county
clerk OF Knox county. The latter is an
Independent, and learning that bailiff
was coming to serve the writ, decamped,
and the bailiff is now busy chasing the
fugitive clerk from place to place. 1t is
too late now to comply with the courts
order in time for the Republican member
to be present at the opening. 30 there
will probably be dilatory tactics till he

Doctors Puzzled as to the Cause of the
Disease in the Penitentiary.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. 2.-Dr. J. J,
Robertson, the penitentiary physician,
returned this morning from st. Louis,
where be has has been fer the pact week
awaiting the result of chemical an
alysis of the vital organs of two con-
victs whose mysterious death occurred
on Monday. DR.. Curtman made eight
tests and found no trace of poison in any
organs. In his report he suggested that
bacteriologist be consulted for
further explanation of the
cause of death. As soon as
DR.. Robertson arrived this morning
he visited the mayors office and sug-
gested that the penItentiary be quaran-
tined, and said he would go within the
Enclosure and stay there until the
disease is completely stamped out.
Three hundred convicts are in the
prison, and all are in healthy condi-
tion, except 4S, only two of whom are
dangerously i'll. Two new cases devel-
oped this morning; the men were taken
with diarrhera aud were at once
placed in the hospital. Every precau-
tion is being taken to confine the dis
ease to the penitentisry inclosure.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.--The marine
hospital service is kept posted as to the
progress of the disease among the con-
victs at Little Rock, and has taken steps
to determine its nature. Surgeon Gid
dings left yesterday, and will make
thorough examination and ascertain the
exact nature of the fatal disease.
