could not ward off the defeat After a
few weeks, however. Offenbach's .Abend-
hlatter' was entirely forgotten. whereas
tie "Morgenblatter' was played in every
popular concert, at every ball and on
every plaza, and every hand organ in the
street.
The comic opera, 'The Bat" shared the
same fate. Berlin had to approve of It

relates them with much ingenious humor.

without his favorite phrase: Such THINGS

ANTIQUE GLASS.
IFrom the Century.l


The world of the Mediterranean sea
eighteen centuries ago was rich in works
of art and decoration beyond our exper-
l.ience and beyond our flights of imagina-
ton. 1t is an effort which few of us can
make with success to picture the wealth
In beautiful art of a great city of the
empire. The marbles have been burned
to lime the bronzes have been melted in
to gros sous or their equivalent, the stuc-
GOES have crumbled from the walls, the
paintings have gone down with their
walls to ruin, the shattered pottery has
been used in filling and grading and
building, and it's remaining fragments
are of no value except for an inscription
or an impressed name-mere potshe-ds,
with now and then a scrap of antiquac-
ian interest.
The shattered glass alone contains in
its very substance such beauty and such
completeness. even in ruin, that its frag
ments are treasured up and studied.
These broken bits point to a general Use
of vessels of decorated glass, used as we
use porcelain for the finer VESSELS of Ia
bic and toilet, and also great abund-
ance of objects of pure ornament, of wall
Innings and floor coverings, made of the
same splendid material. No other sub
stance is like that-beautiful in itself, in
have often the value that fragments of
pottery sometimes have-the partial fig
ure, the incomplete pattern on the sur
face-and they have also what no pottery
and no other artificial substance haS-the
beauty we generally think of as peculiar
to natural stones, to agates, and to jas
pers.
As collector fills his cabinet with
pieces of precious and semi-precious
stones with here and there a piece which
has, as it happens, head or a piece of
head carved upon it, so the enthusiastic
vitreologist collects glass as glass, loving
its substance and its surface, its color
and its texture, It's translucency and it's
opacity, its set patterns and rs vague
cloudings; here and there a stamped or
underground pattern adds its own at
Effectiveness, but the glass itself is the
thing Precious and beautiful is glass;
even in fragments.

Below is the full text of the Demo-
cratic platform recently adopted at
Cheyenne:
We proclaim and reaffirm our alegi-
ance to the principle OF the national
Democratic party and approve of the eff
forts which the president and Congress
have made to carry it into effect.-The
platform of 1892
We regard the tariff question as set
tied by the overwhelming voice of the
people, in favor of such tariff taxes
only as are needed to pay the expenses
of the government when economically
administered. We condemn those rep
resentatives of the people in Congress
and out who have stood in the way Of
the complete fulfillment of the prom
Uses of the party on this question. We
accept the Wilson bill as it passed the
House of Representatives, as but a
partial fulfillment of the promises of
tariff. We favor still lower tariff tax
alton for the relief of the people in
these times of depression.
Due TO Republican MisruIe.
We charge the present depression
and stagnation in all branches of indus
Cry as the legitimate result of thirty
years of Republican legislation and
that the act of 1873 demonetiZing sill
yer has been no small factor in bring
ing about the present deplorable con-
ditionS. We believe in the free unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver with
out any discrimination or charge for
mintage and demand that this country
return to such coinage at ratio of
sixteen to one without waiting for the
consent or aid Of any other nation.
We heartily endorse the action Of the
present administration in comforting
the dignity Of statehood upon our
sister commonwealth, Utah, and extend
to her our hearty congratulations upon
the suspicious event. We also urge
that the same treatment be promptly
fextended to Arizona and New Mexico.
We are in favor of the election of
United States senators by the direct
vote Of the people.
We are in favor of an income tax as
a part of our fiscal system, and well
come it as a step towards the restora-
ton of equality in taxation We rec
ognize the principal as safe and just
that all ought to contribute to the sup
port of tbs government according to
their ability to pay.
Gov. Osborne Endorsed.
We strongly endorse and commend
the administration of the executive Of
we invite comparison between the
peaceful and orderly condition of the
state under his administration and the
condition of affairs under former Re
publican rule.
We endorse the votes and action of
our representatives in Congress, and
ask of the people to contrast them with

one of the remotest corners of Vienna in
order to make the acquaintance of Jo-
ham Strauss among the strains of his
waltz melodies and the scenery of his
comic operas. A twenty minutes walk
from the opera house in a southern di-
rection leads us to No. Tyelgasse The
exterior of the house Is rather insignifi-
cant in appearance, two stories high with
facade of fourteen windows. There is
no balcony, no sculpture, no tasteful cor
Noes and mouldings; only the broad, con-
spicuous doorway indicates that the pro-
prietor of this mansion belongs to the
fortunates who own carriage. His
heavy team of big black horses and the
coachman in livery are well known on
the Ring.
THE WALTZ KING AT HOME.
Johann Strauss is one of those rich
men who do not like to appear so; yet his
social position does not allow him to dis
pense with all etiquette. An old servant
in blue dress coat with yellow buttons
opens the door and takes the visitors
card, leading him through a spacious an
techamber, up the broad staircase, into
the billiard room. which also serves the
purpose of reception room.
Very often, however, the visitor waits
in vain, as the composer allows no one to
piano, or playing an interesting game of
tarock.
He generally enters leaning on the arm
of his wife. The vexatious question then
presents itself: How should one address
him? His intimate friends and acquaint-
ances simply call him .'Meister." Stran-
gers would please him best in addressing
him as Herr Strauss and by no means
as Herr Hofball Musk Director" which

Vienna, July S1-There are many sto-

the Vienna cafes, as, for instance, that
he is such a passionate billiard player
and spends whole nights at that amuse-
ment; that his extreme nervousness
causes him to faint at the sight of a
high mountain, etc. They contain some
truth. but are not very conducive to the
forming of a true estimation of the king
of waltz as the Americans have called
him.

GREEK DRESS.
[From The Academy

Greek dress may at first sight appear
a simple matter There was very little
of it; and the chief difficulty must have
been to keep that little long. Half
naked and quite Greek" seems true
enough if we judge by works of art.
But we must allow for the doctrine Of
theroic nudity" and not suppose that
the gilded youth of Athens were quite
so independent of their tailors as they
appear on the frieze of the Parthenon.

A Woman Blows out the Gas at Hotel
Last Night.


Last night about u o'clock the night
clerk al the ST. Charles hotel noticed a
strong smell OF gas IN the hall leading 10
the second floor and proceeded 10 inyesu-
gate For good while his efforts 10 To-
cate the leak were unsuccessful
After rousing a number OF guests from
their slumbers, be finally came 10 room

from small Kentucky town, who had ;wo
children AS soon as he approached t.v
door he knew where the trouble was. lie
commenced pounding on the door, and
apparently could not arouse the occupants
of the room.
Just as he had called the ianitor and was
about 10 break the door In the woman
managed 10 open II, aud the amount OF
the deadly gas which poured from the room
almost subjected the men. The clerk
rushed TO the window and opened II 70 a.
low the air 10 get Ia and drive the gas out.
The women did not appear 70 be much the
worse for inhaling the stun, but the chill.
dren appeared 10 be. rather oazed ana
faint.
To add 10 the horror OF being almost suf-
focated as soon as the woman had opened
the door she struck a match 20 light the
gas. but the clerk blew the match out DC
fore the gas could ignite, otherwise there
might have been very serious explosion
and a number Of lives lost.
The room was thoroughly aired before
the gas was again lighted and al one
O'Clock the clerk reported that neither the
woman or the children were any the worse
for the gas inhaled. IL is very fortunate
the consequences were not more serious.
