DEFINITION OF 4 TENOR.

Won Bulow Regarded Such q Singer as an
Illness, Not Man.
AS a conductor he simply worked
marvels, even with an Indifferent or
chestra, and this is the performance he
perhaps enjoyed most; he would com
pare his conducting to his piano forte
playing, and say at the end of con-
cert, provided he was satisfied: 'sThis
is the finest BechStein l have PLAYED
on" says the Saturday Review. Bulow
at orchestra rehearsals was almost as
interesting as Verdi, and operatic per-
ormances-Carmen, for instance
under his baton were the rarest treats
musician could enjoy. His connec-
tlon with the operate stage led him to
the.dehnition of a tenor, which it is diff
fcult not to repeat: ''Ein Tenor ist klein
Mensch; es ist cine Krankheit. "a ten
or is not man; it is an illness.) And
since an anecdote has been perpetrated
room for another might be found.
1t will be remembered how some two
or three years ago the German emperor
in the course of a speech referred rath-
er rudely to the ''grumblers'' (Norgler)
at the existing regime, and advised all
such to shake off the dust of the Water
lands soil. The speech created an un-
large contingent of officials and others
who took the hint and became known
forthwith as Staubabschuttler. Bulov,
who had always something to say or
write, held his tongue this time, but
at the first philharmonic concert he
conducted in Berlin as he stepped on
the platform he took out very large
handkerchief and in full view of the
audience began to dust his shoes, just
to show that he was not satisfied with
the existing state of things.
He took it also musically out of
Count Hochburg when that amiable
despot had him turned out of the Ber-
lin opera house. 1t was at a piano
forte recital at the Singacademie,
where, by way of prelude, Bulow
just played the first few bars of
Figaro's aria, ''Se vuol ballare, Sig.
-Contino." Bulow's sarcastic vein found
also an outlet in composition of little
merit, but one by which he, strangely
enough, set great store, ''Humorls-
tische Quadrille aus Motiven der Oper
Benvenuto Cellini Won Berlioz," mis-
take not easily explained in so serious
an artist and due probably to passing
influence.

In Defense of the Dead.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Perkins of
California, in the senate today, briefly
defended the memory of the late Leland
Stanford from the charge made by
Representative Geary that he had
founded Stanford university out of a
spirit of revenge and resentment because
he was not elected trustee of the
University OF California. Perkins said
that when he was govener of California
he had appointed Stanford regent of the
university, but at the request of the
latter the legislature did not confirm the
nomination. Governor Stoneman also
would have made Stanford regent, but
the honor was declined.

Northern Pacific Again Opened.
Assistant General Passenger Agent
Charlton, of the Northern Pacific, yester-
day received telegraphic advice from
General Superintendent Kimberly that
the line would be in condition for the
resumption of through business by
Saturday. This means that passengers
leaving Portland today will be sent
through on time. The Northern Pacific
is enabled to thus early resume the
regular running of through trains by
using its De Smet branch. This branch
is in good condition, and its use will
cause little or no delay to through travel.
The Northern Pacific has suffered
greatly by the food between Portland
and the Columbia, but the use of boats
has enabled the officials to keep their
trains between Portland and Spokane
running on schedule time. The most
serious trouble has been east of Spokane.
Until this is thoroughly repaired the
through trains will run over the De
Smet branch.

The American Buffalo.

its true home was on tine prairies and
the high plains.
Across these it rOamCd hither and

they covered the waving gra ISLAND for
hundreds of square leagues. and when

myriadS of Shaggy-nianed wild cattle
vanished with remarkable and melan-
chOly rapidity before the inrOads Of
the white hunters and the steady
march of the OncOming settlers. Now
they are on the point Of extinction.
Two or three hundred are left in
that great national game preserve. the
Yellowstone Park. and it is said that
others still remain in the wintry desOla-

few individuals exist, probably conSid-

Government Ownership Of Railroads and
Public safety.

In proportion to the number travel
ing. there are thirteen times Is many
accidents in the United States as in
Germany, where government owner
ship of railways obtains, and six or
seven times as many accidents to en-
plOyes in proportion to the total num-
Der. And no wonder. The first thing
which attracts attention in Germany is
the careful protection to life and limb.
Accidents of daily occurrence in Chica-
go are impossible in Berlin, 4 city OF
equal size. Contrast the efforts of the
United States to save life as seen in our
truly admirable ~life-saving service on
our coasts with the conduct of those
railway presidents who rush to Wash
ingtOn and to our state capitals to pre-
vent the passage of laws to compel the
railways to use well-knOwn and ap-
proved safety appliances. 1t is claimed
that there is greater freedom in the
service of the government than in the
service Of the vast corporations which
manage natural monopolies. And the
freedom of the employed nav be still
further increased by better civil service
regulations. The nobility of public
service is of Importance to the wage

government is an honor, while the

badge of inferiority. 1t is public SER

Causes II the Recent Depression.

In periods of depression men look TO
a cause, and are very likely to jump AT
a conclusion. The cause of the present
depression in busincss-now long con-
tinued-was at first said to be the pur-
chasing of silver by the government;
SO the purchasing clause of the act of
1891, commonly called the Sherman act,
was repealed. Then the financial panic
or semi-panic-was said to be the
cause That o passed. Then the
trouble was attributed to the scarcity
of money. Now there is a plethora of
money. Later the cause was said to be
the expected new tariff bill. This bill
has been before the public for weeks,
and the worst is known. These So
called causes have all disappeared,
but their disappearance has not put a
wheel in motion nor a hand to work.
1t is not, perhaps. within the scope of
the greatest intelligence to account sat
isfactorily for the present state of
affairs 1t is worldwide. Its begin
ming may he traced to the time, three
years ago, marked by the failure of the
Earrings. Next came the crisis in Ar
gentine affairs Then. shortly, the
panic in Australia, and later this a
of depression over the United States,
which does not yet recede, although
the supposed cause have been elimin-
ated.
