PASSING OF BEETHOVEN.

Pathetic Story of the Last Time He Ever
Played.
A writer in Temple Bar relates
the following regarding the last
time Beethoven ever played:
He had been deaf for 25 years,
nearly half of his life, when, in
1922, a letter reached him at Baden
from his nephew, the being dearest
to him on earth. The young man
wrote from Vienna, where he had
got into a scrape, from which he
looked to his uncle to extricate him.
Beethoven set out at once, but his
funds were so low that he was
obliged to make the greater part of
the journey on foot. He had gone
most of the way and was only a
few leagues from the capital when
his strength failed. He was forced
to beg hospitality at poor and
mean looking house one evening.
The inhabitants received the ex,
hausted, ill tempered looking, dark,
gruff voiced stranger with the ut.

ger supper with him, and then gave
