Handel and King George I.

Handel once offended George / so
seriously that he was afraid to ap
proach the court, but through the
friendly interposition of Baron Kill
mansegge, who was in high favor. he
was restored to favor in the follow
ing manner: Soon after his arrival in
England the king was persuaded TO
make short excursion on the water.
Handel was informed of this intention
and, upon the advice of his friend. he
composed some pieces expressly for
the occasion, and secretly conducted
their performance in a boat that ac
companied the royal barge. His maies-
ty, upon hearing these compositions
which have since become famous un-
der the title of the Water Music "
was so surprised and pleased by their
excellence, that he Immediately de-
manded the name of the author. The
baron, who was on hand for that pur-
pose, told the king that they were the
work of faithful servant OF his males
ty, who, conscious of the cause OF the
displeasure which he had given, burst
not presume to approach the royal
presence until he could be assured that
by every demonstration Of gratitude
and duty in the future he might hone
to secure a pardon. This intercession
was accepted. and Handel was i'm
mediately restored to favor. His COM
positions were honored with the most
flattering marks of royal appreciation.
and the king Immediately gave him a
pension of f2O0 year. in addition 10

ferred ON him By Queen Ammo

Butte, Mont, Sept. BOB. G. W.
Evans, connected with the FegenB Bush
gang of swindlers of Chicago and
Denver, was arrested this evening on
charge of using the United States
mails for fraudulent purposes. The
charge grows out of sale of 5000
shares of worthless stock to John
Wood of Illinois year ago. Some
one offered the stock to Wood and re-
ferred to Exams as to the valve of the
stock. Evans wrote to Wood that his
firm would pay 60 cents share for all
the stock Wood could buy and Wood
bought all he could get and has it on
his hands yet, while it is charged
Evans and the gang divided the money
received from Wood.

Cranks of all grades are common
about the Presidents home, and the

vagrancy and carrying concealed
weapons can be made against him, and /
his treatment will not be materially |
different from that given to hundreds
