Many biographers and many o

HAVE MOVED OFTEN.
The home OF the Beethoven,
while not as frequently as the
camp of the Gypsy is moved, has
been changed quite often, though
they have always been found to
have been desirable tenants. The
old Casino balcony was good
enough for many years, until Capt,
II. Karber established a fine hall
on the east side Of the Alamo plaza,
in the building about where the
Menger hotel barber shop now
stands. Then they moved to his
place. After he abandoned this
business and became assistant
chief of police, the society moved
to Meyers hall on Losoya street
and then, when Mr.. Adolph Scholz,
by creating an additional room for
their especial use, held out a
most cordial welcome, the offer was
accepted and the last transfer, I'M
til they occupy their own home,
was made.
