ECCENTRIC AND INDEPENDENT.
Hans Won Bulow's Peculiar ~Frankness-
An Awful Revenge.

DIR. Hans Won Bulow has the credit
of having been perhaps the most ec-
centric musician that ever lived. His
frankness was something terrible. M1sic
says of him that he was accustomed to
meet I large class twice u year in Ger
many, at which many members were
listeners, while those who wished to
play might send in their lanes to him.
Sometimes he chose those whom he
preferred and sent out for them, while
the rest waited in terror for their turn
to come. This nervousness of anticipu-
ton was not without cause.
An awkward English girl one day
went to the piano, and, frightened al
most out of her wits, managed to play
her piece after n fashion.
"Ach!" he roared, "You play the
easy passages with a difficulty that is
simply enormous!"
Once in playing at a concer he stop
ped abruptly and ordered the ushers to
turn the piano around. His reason
was asked and he replied that a lady in
the audience annoyed him u~nspeakably
by tanning herself out of time. 1t was
suggested that 1t might. be simpler to
ask her to stop but he replied that he
could not think of such a thing. SO the
piano was turned.
So far as the audience was concerned,
he always made a point of doing exact
ly as he pleased. On one occasion the
orchestra which he was conducting had
just given a very long Brahms SYM
Phony, which was quite beyond the
comprehension of any but the musicians
among the listeners.
When the audience failed to give him
the applause he expected he turned up
on them %furionsly:
"What! You do not like itP l will
teach you to like it," and he had the en-.
tire composition played through again
from beginning to end. Brahms wa.
always appluded after that, if only in
self-defense.
But when a Leipzig audience insisted
on recalling him, in spite of his repeated
refusal to play again, he came forward
aud said:
"If you do not stop this applause
will play all Bach's forty-eight preludel
and fugues from beginning to end!"

HIS LAST OATH.
How Senator Harris Broke Himself a
Swearing.

There is a curious connection between
the lives of 1sham Harris and Bishop
Quintard of Memphis. whose perform
ance at Kitty Cheatham's wedding
brought him into prominence.
The bishop and Harris are about of an
age, and although of different tempera-
ments and of different professions their
careers have interviewed more than
once.
Quintard was a chaplain in the con-
federate army, having secured the place
through Harris appointment, and Har-
ris to this day always refers to Quintard
as the nan who broke him of the habit
OF profanity.
It was during the review of the troops
When Harris was governor, and with
his usual irascibility he gave some OF
the dolinquents q terrible dressing down
as they Went by, interlarding his COM
ments with characteristic oaths.
Just then Qnintard sprang forward.
"How can you expect to control these
men, governor" he exclaimed. when
you cannot control your own temper?:"
Harris stopped in establishment and
gazed at the bold chaplain. Then he
recognized the force of the mans words
and stopped swearing.
He says he hasn't sworn from that
time to this, and he really thinks he
hasn't, but some people who are wont
to listen to the peppery Tennesseean
somehow or other gain a different inn
preston.

followed his lead, was then ready to
take the field. So the Crimenn warhad

within fonr months of the two years

that The Russian czars have all

right in favor of Alexan-

to be aware that he was
not mentally fit to rule such an empire
as Russia. He died in his 5ad year, of
what would now be called cerebro

Bencvolence in the Factory.

BeneSolence in the Factory.
A prince among advertisers, William L.
Douglas, president of the w. L. Douglas
Shoe company, Montello, Mass, is not
less eminent for practical kindness to the
host of people employed by him in the pro.
duction of the celebrated 80 shoe. We
look naturally to u mar OF his enterprise
for comprehensive and noble benevolence,
and we are not disappointed. Adding
still another expression of his manly good
feeling toward people who depend on him
for a livelihood, he has appointed a well
equipped physician as custodian of the
health of the work people. Every person
employed Mt the factory commands the
doctors services, either within its walls
or, il need be, at his or her own home: and
it is within the physicians province of
course, to prescribe absolute rest when this
shall appear necessary or desirable. The
Douglas doctor eXacts no fees from his pa
tients, his engagement being. by arrange
ment with Mr.. Douglas, whose claims on
the loyal good feeling of his employees ARE
emphasized by this expression of his
bounty.
1t ought to be generally known that
since December, 1888, the principle of arbi.
tlation has been recognized by formal
agreement Of the w. l.. Douglas Shoe com
pany with its employees, every man in the
employment of the firm signing an agree
clent to submit any disagreement that
may arise and not otherwise be settled to
the State Board of Arbitration for a de.
cision to bind both parties.
