A LOFTY PLUNGE.
From a Tower Sixty-Five
Feet High.
Professor Joseph Leuvenmark's OAR
ing Exhibition Feat at Harbor
View Park Yesterday.

Professor Joseph Leuvenmark, formerly
teacher in the Royal Swimming School at
Stockholm. gave an exhibition dive from
a tower siXty-five feet above the water at
Harbor View yesterday afternoon.
Long before he made his appearance the
bay in front of the tower was thickly
dotted with boats and tugs ladened with
spect tors waiting to witness the leap. The
grounds inside along the front were black
with people, and within the narrow in
closure of the bathnOuse court hundreds
stood and cheered the venturesome
plunger.
Clad in wooden swimming suit, with a
blue-and-yellow sash around his waist,
the man with a record tower dive of so
feet 81 inches made his wav through the
crowd to the bathhouse upon which the
tower had been erected. He climbed the
rough ladder leading to the platform
above from which the leap was TO be
made, and as he assembled the bathhouse
engines whistle blew salute, which was
The morning call., 1894-03-05

Immediately taken up by the tugs upon
the bav. Amid a deafeniDg chorus he
reached the top of the tower.
Walking to the edge acing the water
he surveyed his course and distance. The
boats widened our, forming an open space
about twenty feet from the base IF the
tower. For a moment the diver watched
rear side of the platform. After rubbing
the muscles of his arms and legs for a
moment, he threw his head back, took
several draughts of air and then after
three or four quick steps along the plat
form leaped into space.
Down he shot into the water, beneath
which he disappeared. causing scarcely a
ripple. When he reappeared in moment
there was prolonged cheer from the
crowd, aud as he made his way TO the
shore the steamboats, whistled again.
The diver was surrounded by admirers,
who insisted upon shaking his hand.
The water where the dive was
made was eleven fee: deep, with a
sandy bottom. In going down Leuyen-
mark calculated that he would sink about
eight feet, which he did, not touching bot
tom by three feet.
Professor Harry Herman was among
the spectators, and some talk WAS in
dulged in regarding his ability to perform
the same feat. Herman expressed will
lngness TO try ii on the spot, but was per-
suaded not to do so. 1t is not improbable.
however, that at the next exhibition of
Professor Ieuvenmark Professor Herman
will be on hand TO make the leap double
one.
Other exhibitions will be given by the
Swedish professor, each succeeding one
to be made more interesting by increasing
the height of he tower until the record
height is reached.

SACRED HARMONIES
At the Sunday Concert of the Vienna
Prater Orchestra.


1t seems almost super1uous to state that
there was the usual large ate, dance at
the sacred concert of he Vienna Prater
orchestra in Metropolitan Temple yester-
dav morning, and that the wonted enthu-
siasm was displayed. The success of the
Austrian musicians is now so assured
that large attendances and applause al
most go wIthoui saying.
The "Traeumerei" from Wuerst's Rus
sian suite was one of the most Remarkable,
numbers on the programme, owing partly
TO the excellent way in which Concert
master John MarQuardt performed the
VIOLIN solo. Hitherto il has seemed strange
that this artist, who is possessed of such
good technique and expression. should not
QIsplay greater depth ana richness of tone.
1esterday. however, one was tempted TO
oelieVe tnat he was playing upon better
Violin, or else that the "Traeumerei" was
peculiarly sympathetic to him, for his tone
was remarkably resonant.
Joachim Rats overture to the drama,
The Thirty Years War;" is largely based
upon Martin Luther's HYMN, "Dies 1rse. 1"
The familiarity of the audience with the
magnificent refrain and the broad aDd
grand Interpretation given To the overture
combined TO arou n storm of applause at
its Conclusion. On the principle that con-
trasts are artistic the performance of the
waltz, "FlirtatiOD." as an encore was a
master-stroke of genius.
The cellost. Herr GrieDauer. and the
harpist, Miss Breidschueck, played an
andante by Pergolesi aud minuet by
Daubee so much 10 the satisfaction of
their hearers that they were compelled to
give an encore, which they did by payiog

THE DRAIN ON OUR GoLD-AGAIS.

The London correspondent of the FL
nanclal Chronicle. referring to the ne"
city of Paris loan says: 1.-THE applica-
lions are so large that they have locked
ND for the moment very much money,
and the rate OF interest has risen to
per cent, and in some cases even 10 ~
per cent. But that is a mere temporary
furry. AS soon as the deposits are paid
out again ease will return. The likeli-
hood. indeed, Is that all over Europe
we shall have long period Of very cheap
money"
1t should be borne in mind that the
city of Paris has advertised for very
large loan-SiO,OOO.OOO, If We recollect
aright-and that offers 20 about ten times
what she wants have been made. Until
the loan is awarded and she pays out
what she gets of course all this offered
money must rest on deposit, taking there
by that great sum suddenly out of the
channels OF business.
Remarkng on this passage We have
quoted from the Financial Chronicle, the
New York Journal of Commerce says:
ut is quite possible that this tenn
porary disturbance Of the money market
may have had much to do with the late
large exports of gold from this city; but
IT. as equally probable that, in the event
OF the long period of very cheap money
all over Europe being realized the gold
may return after having served this tenn
porary purpose"
This emphasizes and gives point to our
article of last Sunday, in which we point
ed out that as the balance of trade has
for several months been heavily in favor
of this country. the withdrawal of gold
from US was necessarily due TO some
accidental and sporadic cause. But it
gives us another opportunity to call at
tention TO the rotten foundation upon
which our entire monetary system is
buit-the Governments credit. What sort
OF system is 1t that eompels the Gov
eminent to keep on borrowing gold upon
Understanding bonds that is taken away

vicious. II is only our strength that keeps
II from running US. We once understood
the true principles of finance, which was
thirty-fve years ago, but the war period
took all correct knowledge of 1t out of
the minds OF the people. and they have
never yet been able TO rid their minds
of the mists that period put into them.
When they learn true finance again they
will know that governments only proper
relation to money is to coin the precious
metals and stamp on each coin a state
ment OF the number OF grains it con-
tains. and that furnishing the paper sub
efitutes for money, such as bank notes.

with which the Government can have no
