ECCENTRICITIEs OF FAMOUS
PEoPLE.-Boys and girls are not
the only members of the human
race that have their little queer
nesses. Some of the greatest men
the world has known have had the
queerest habits, habits along side Of
which the whims and oddities OF
children seem as natural as that the
sun should rise in the morning.
Among these are to be noted the
whimsical behavior of Augustus
Hare, cleverest divine in the Eng
lish Church, who, when he had
ended train of hard thinking,
wonid rise from the desk and spin
round on his heel few seconds, and
then resume his studies.
The Earl of Chatham was most
leculiar in habits; these, no doubt.
were engendered by his hypochon-
drical nature. On ole occasion in
midsummer he wished to have snow
and adopted the following rather
curious method of having his wish
realized. The servants were crder-
ed to have large fires in every room
the walks outside were covered With
salt to make things have a wintry
appearance, and doors and windows
were kept shut to keep out the bit
ing cold. How long this whim last
ed the historian does not record.

ANGRY AT MILAN.
He Has Not Kept Faith With the
Car.

kZar.
LONDON, Nay ga dispatch to the
Telegraph from st. Petersburg says: The
news from Servis was received with in
dignation by all parties. The great otti-
Gals were especially angry with ex- King
Milan for his breach OF faith to the Car.
to whom he had solemnly promised never
to return TO Belgrade. The Government
has telegraphed TO its agent ct Belgrade to
the effect that Russia will not interfere in
Servia in any way. but the belief, never
theless, prevails that King Alexander's
proclama alton is the death knell of the
house of Obernvich. which has forfeited
the Cars friendship and support.
BELGRADE. May 22-Ths Radicals are
intensely excited of the action of the King
aud severe measures will be required TO
preserve order. Many Radical leaders in
Belgrade have already become fugitves,
fearful that Imprisonment or something
worse may befail them. The Projects
throughout the kingdom have been or
dered to disarm the Radical peasantry
without delay. The Radical malcontents,
though greatly excited. are pGralyzsd by
the suddenDess OF the Kings acton, and
there is much local disorder. but 1t is not
probable civil war will ensue.

OFF ITS TROLLEY.
Railroad Promises Not
Kept.
A Mixed-Up State of Affairs Over
the .Streetcar Termini-S1iIi
Delaying.

The Harbor Commissioners met yester-
day afternoon and discussed the question
of wires and trOlleys with the Union
street, Cliff House and Ferries and Market
street Railroad Company. No more off,
cial firecrackers were exploded, although
there was splendid opportunity for rattle
or two. Dust, such as the water front
alone can produce. will cODtinne to sweep
East street. for. according to Secretary
Keegan, the board and the railroad could
come to no agreement. and the question OF
the streetcar termiDi and consequently
the grading OF East street from jackson
south must remain in statu quo until the
several car companies see fit to bury the
Ratchet and take to doing little neces-
sary stree; work.
But the Market-street Company, through
Mr. Lynch, states that it will be ready to
commence work in a few days. This
means that the company will finish uD its
Broadway electric road. East street is an
after consideration. 10 the meanwhile
the public must besdocile; "all comes to
him who waits"
1.-THE matter may hang fire for several
months" said Secretary Keegan. with a
laugh.
Ii it does the water-fronters may indiCt
the Board of Harbor Commissioners, or
rise en- masse and mob the innocent in
dividual who drives a watering-cart along
the front and forgets TO put any water
in it
The Union.st company is waiting
for the Broadway Electric Company TO
hnish grading East street, so that 1t can
arrange its tracks At present the Union
street line lands its passengers alongside oil
Al Whites, giving them an excellent
chance to visit that wel[knOwn mariner
while they are waiting for the car on the
switch to move along.
The original agreement with the Broad
way road was that il should grade East
street should it be given the franchise to
move along the front. They have done
the work as far south as jackson street
and there the work stopped.
The Sutter-stTeet Railroad Company
came to the front with a proposition to
build loop around the Market-street
COmpany's turntable. Mr.. Lynch turned
pale at the mere suggestion.
Bob Morrow and j. L. Schmidt ap-
peAred for the Sutter-streeC line, and sub
mitted their plans to the board.
The Consolidated Street Railroads will,
of course, not wish the opposition 10 oper-
ate lOor, and fight is promised.
Several appointments TO positions in the
gift of the State are said 10 have been
made by the board, but or course that's the
boards business.
The primaries are at hand, and the in
formation was given out that nothing
would be done until after the elections"

THEY WANT CASH.
Why ScheeI Does Not Get
Local Performers.
The Court Conductor Lost Too Much
by His Musical FestivaI-Sher-
woods Mishaps.

Herr Fritz Scheel seems to be finding
that the path of classical music in the Far
West is more streWn with floral tributes
than with dollars, and be is thinking, not
once, but many times, before launching
into those three projected concerts with
local musicians.
1t was decided over week ago between
Scheel and II. c. Plimpton, agent for VIII
liam Sherwood. that at least two concerts
should be given, as announced in THE
CALL, the court director and the American
pianist to share the expenses and divide
the spolls. But when Scheel came to
count the cost of his musical festival,
which was such an artistic triumph, he
found that, financially speaking, it had de-
pleted bis Golfers. it is said. to the tune OF
something like $500. Under these cir
cumstances Scheel appealed TO SherwOOd's
manager to see if he could not have GER
tain sum guaranteed for each concert, in
stead of the share and share alike plan.
Fate. however, had somewhat inteTfered
with the plans of the American pianist.
He was booked TO play In number Of
towns in the southern part of the State,
bet Just IS he was expecting TO steam COM
fortably out of Salt Lake and fulfill his en-
gagements. his train was seized by the In
dustrials, and held there. In Riverside
one of the principal citizens teiegraphed
to Mr.. Plimpton that he was on his way
to the station TO meet Mr.. Sherwood. He
went and waited So did the audience,
and the gifted pianist came not, for the
very good reason that his train could not
get through. At San Diego he was
obliged to cancel his engagement. and al
Los Angeles be steamed into the station
just in time TO hasten TO his expectant au-
dience and Dlay.
Under these uutOward circumstances
Mr.. PlimptOn objected to further disap-
pOintment and tried hard TO run
a bluff on the gifted but impecuniOus
Scheel, telling him that the agree
meut had been made in the presence of
witnesses, and he would see to its being
carried out. But the bluff aid not work,
for the reason that a man who has more
fame than money to lose is In a better p0-
siton to snap his fingers at such aTgu-
ments than one with "a large bank account.
Added to this, when Sherwood, who is an
old friend OF Schee, arrived in San
Francisco he very quickly decided not to
add To the talented and energetic con-
ductOr's dilemma. For this reason Wi liam
Sherwood will probably go north without
playing in this city, as it was too late for
him to make other arrangements than
those previously entered into with Scbeel.
AS for the court director himself, he IS
certainly not to blame for the fact that so
little solid SUPPORT was given to his musi-
cal festival. Eight of his best solOists re-
main here, and he is still anxious TO re-
organize with local musicians. 1t is
believed that some splendid concerts
would be the result But the performers
he Graves for are wary and will not play
unless the money is put up beforehand. and
so far Herr Scheel has not appeared cash
in hand.
