Anecdotes Illustrating tho f,rusqueness e
the Great Composer.
When In Munich, a few years aga
directing the Wagner operas, a wo-
man Of society asked the late Hans
Won BulOw, one evening, to be allowed
to attend the rehearsal of the orches.
ira on the following day. Bulow re.
piled that II would give him great
pleasure to have her present later In
the week, when the orchestra had
PLAYED oftener However, on the fol.
lowing day, BulOw caught sight OF
her In the theater as ne took his baton
In hand lie stopped the music, held
hurried conversation with one Of the
members Of the orchestra, and then
assembled to his place again. He
tlourished his baton, and one lnstrn-
ment began to sound. lie continued
to beat the air and the instrument con-
tinued to play--only three different
notes. For five minutes this was
kept up, the other musicians remain
ing silent The poor lady became
half crazy in the course OF time, and,
in disgust at Bu.ow and Wagner. left
the room. The rehearsal was then
continued. On another occasion,
he was acting as director of the
orchestra In one Of the largest cities
Of Germany. He had complained OF
the various singers, who were unable,
he declared, to sing correctly or IN
time. One evening, q friend visited
him In the theatre.rOOm reserved for
Bulow, and found an immense por-
trait OF the pr ma baIlerina, sur.
sounded by a huge wreath, above his
desk.
'Arc you So great an admircr OF
Mile - and dancing, Bulow?" the
friend asked.
"Yes," was the cynical answer;
'shc IA the only one connected with
the theater who does not sing out Of
tune"
When walking up Leipzigcr.strasse.
In Berlin, one dav with Professor
Enrich, q feminine men, Der OF the
Royal Opera, whom BulOw d'sliked,
rushed up to MIN, and, In q familiar
tone, greeted him efTusively:
"Oh, Herr Won BulOw, how are
you? I hayc not seen you for q long
time"
Bulow simply stared at the young
woman and did not deign to reply.
The singer became embarrassed, and,
10 break the awkward pause, added:
"1'll make the bet that you do not
recognize me-"
"You have won the bet" answered
Bulow. and continued his promenade
without another word.

A Name from q Joke.

Few people know that the name
silhouette, as applied to black out.
line picture, had its origin from u
proper name. Etienne dc Silhouette
was famous French Minister of
Finance in the last century. He un.
dertOOk to enforce economy in the
administration OF government affairs,
but the gay mobiles ridiculed the idea,
and at last one of them, for jest,
had black outline picture OF his
face made and showed it to his &C.
quaintances, pretending that Sill
houette had made him so poor that
he could not afford to have a better
portrait The joke took, and sill.
hOuettes became the fashion. The
idea was carried into other fashl ns.
to which the name was als) applied.

TIT for Tat.

1t n not pleasant to stand In q
w!tness.bOx and have your replies
ridiculcd by the counsel on the other
side when the crOss.Q uestiOninV-
cross In every scnsc-.begins Ac.
cordingly, every incident in which
the witness shivcrs his opponents
lance Is heartily welcomed by the
reading public. Here Is one:
A member OF the bar. In relating
some "reminiscences OF the court In
times gone by, told Of u case wherein
one Of the famous advocates Of that
time had badvcred and crowded u
witness until he had lost his temper.
The witness incidentally said some.
thing about u cat, and the crafty
lawyer seized upon this as means Of
further worrying the witness.
"How old was the cat:" asked the
attorney. "...
II don't know" was the answer.
"How old do you think she wasp"
ut was u t0mcat."
~ didn't ask about the sex Of the
cat; I asked how old IL was"
"You asked how old she was"
well. how old was that cat:"
Il told you I didn't know"
swell, how old do you think"
'tOh, / can't tell"
"YOu can't tell how old you think
IL was?"
II tell you don't know"
"Now." said the counsel, II want
o plain answer to q plain question.
How old do you think II wasS"
The witness looked straight at the
counsel, whose shining bald head was
the most prominent feature OF his
figure, and calmly sad:
"Oh, l can't guess how old tina
cat was, but he was old enough to. be
bald headed"
Tho lawyers ruddy face assumed Q
deeper hue, the spectators and mem.
beers OF the lar Uttered, and even thu
sterner features OF the Judge re-.
Taxed into smile ut the answer,
which ended that line of cross ques.

Therefore. neither in speculative nor in
other financial Or business circles is the
weeks outflow regarded with appre-
hensiOn.
The share market opened firm, and
made a fractional advance, but, from
lack or buyers, prices Sagged Off slight
ly, the heavlness being increased some
what by the reported specie engage
ments, which encouraged the bears to
demonstration against values. Efforts
TO lllauEurate q downward movement
met with little success, the speculation
becoming steady, and. with the eXcep-
ton OF American Tobacco and some few
other speclaltieS, no changes of i'm
pnrfance took place until shortly before
the beginning of the last hour OF busi-
ness. About that time good buyers
came into the market. to whose pur-
chases prices quickly responded. and
the appreciation in values continued to
the close, the final dealings being de-
cidedly strong in tone. The light ad-
vance was in the nature of little
surprise on the part of the bulls
to the bear party. which had
tried the temper of speculation
during the first half of The day. and had
helped to weaken appreciably the conf.
dence of holders OF stocks. The strong
undertone exhibited by the general list,
under favorable circumstances, Induced
the longs TO give little squeeze, and
considerable covering was done in the
late trading. Compared with yesterdays
final figures The closing prices of today
are irregular. American Tobacco was
