The Austrian National Hymn.

The Austrian national anthem is one
Of the most beautiful of Haydn's melo-
dies and of national hymns. The words
of the Emperor Hymn" were written
by the Jesuit priest l.. l.. Haschka, and
were set to music by Haydn. On Jan.
2S, 1897, Count Won Saurau, governor
of Vienna, issued decree that "Gott
erhalte Franz den Kaiser" should DO
the Austrian national hymn, and on
Feb. ~ it was by order sung i'll all the
theaters of Vienna. In England 1t Is IA
miliar as the hymn tune Austria. IL
is often sung to Newton's lines, "Glori-
ous things of thee are spoken, and
sometimes also to Kempthorne's Praise
the Lord, ye heavens, adore him. -,
Haydn's affection for this beautiful
melody is we'll known. He afterward
employed it for the variations i'll the

when he was near death and too weak

Organ and Dog In sympathy.

There is an old adage that music
hath charms to soothe Il savage breast, -
but this is not always the case. AT the
corner of Beacon and Mount Vernon
streets in Boston may be found almost
every evening just at dusk an old lady
bundled up in shawlS and wraps tuln-
ing the crank of littlc paper hand or
GAN. The sounds isslN from the in
strumcnt cannot lie termed sweet, and
to representative ear they are painful.
The other evening, as the observer OF
the Boston Pest was passing the musi-
clan. a Gordon setter came running
along. He had evidently lost his master
for there was an anxious expression on
his handsome face. When i'll front OF
the organ grinder he stopped, The ao-
sence of his owner was trying enough
bnt that music was the last straw.
Throwing back his head, he gave now

DROWNING ACCIDENT.
L. Ross, Fireman on the Marion,
Sinks Out of Sight


E. Ross, a second-class fireman on
the u S. s. Marion, was drowned be-
tween and o'clock Saturday night,
and up to time of going to press his
body had not been found.
Ross was a novice in the line of
swimming, but he had a great desire
to learn the art. 1t was his habit to
walk down the gangway, catch hold Of
the grab rope and dabble in the water,
in an attempt to learn the stroke.
1t was close upon o'clock Saturday
when he went in, and was consequently
about the last in the water. The dingy,
fully manned, was in it's usual place,
ready for any accident that might over
take the bathers. Ross took hold of the
grab rope and must have given it quite
jerk, for it broke from it's fastening
on the gangway and the fireman went
down. Men were soon on the spot, ex-
pecting, of course, to see Ross come
to the surface and waiting to catch him
when he did; but all this was of no
avail. He had gone down for good.
Inc theory Is tnat, Whlle going under,
he made an effort to swim, and that,
striking the soft, oozy bottom, stuck
fast. Up until dark and all day yester-
day a diver was kept busy searching
for the body. The story of the diver
seems to strengthen the theory men
toned above He said that he sunk up
to his helmet in mud upon going down
the first few times. Later, an arrange
ment was rugged up to prevent this
sinking and facilitate the search.
The story spread about by some that
the fireman swan ashore and deserted
is absurd, and no further comment up
on that point is necessary after having
cited the facts mentioned above.
Ross was a man of good habits and
was we'll liked aboard ship. His home
was in Virginia. where he leaves wife
to mourn his loss.
