The Buffalo Mystery Solved

The Almonesson Buffalo mystery is solved
at last, and the motive for the mysterious
killing of the valuable animal proves to be
the love of sensation inherited by Thomas
D. NJ. Cardeza, Of Germantown, Pa, and
his desire to be the owner of hand
some buffalo head as trophy. With am
pie means at his disposal, young Cardeza
had little difficulty in procuring the buffalo
at the Zoo on the payment Of $500, and
creating the mysterious sensation by its
stealthy slaughter in section of country
swarming with sensational journalists.
The Geological Society is indignant over
the affair, as Cardeza's agent said he wanted
the buffalo for breeding purposes, and
these were the only conditions on which
they would have sold the animal, because
the species is so near extinct
Cardeza says he wanted the head, that
be paid for the animal, and he had right
to do with it as he pleased.
Thus ends Almonesson's mystery. Next

MUSICIANS WHIMS.
Most of Them Are Daft About Some
Things.

l am tickled to know that Wagner
was an exact and expensive dresser,
and that Beethoven was a sloven with
an old coat and slippers trodden down
at the heels, says the Contemporary
Review. 1t interests me to hear that
Paganini always carried a shirt in his
fiddle case because he sweated so pro-
fusely over his solos that he had to
change between his parts IL he played
twice. / even care to learn that Men
delssohn was perfect child about
pastry, which he could never resist and
which he always ate especially cherry
pie) and which always disagreed with
him, that Schumann injured his third
finger by tying it back to his wrist
with a string because he hoped to
make it more supple-it ended, how
ever, in his almost losing the use of
it; that Bulow got up In the night to
play over passages which he thought
he was likely to play inaccurately at
his prodigious recitals. When Thral-
berg was at the height of his fame
he wouldn't even carry an umbrella
for fear of it cramping the muscles of
his hand; Malibran loved nothing SO
much as romping with Mocheles' chif-
dren on the floor; Paganini was so
stingy that he would stand up under
shelter in the rain and keep whole
opera house full waiting sooner than
call cab. Prof. Ella told me he found
him one day crouching under the
Arcade in Regent street and that he
gave this artless explanation. Hack
ney coaches he said, lin London were
so expensive!' and this when he had
doubled the prices at the opera house
where he played and was rolling in
money.

the slightest doubt, Judging from
the impressions l gathered, that the

years of age when | found myself stand
ing on the outskirts of crowd of peo-
pie gathered together in street near
that in which | lived. How / came
there / do not know; but there l was,
a spectator of the scene. 1t was a vio-
lent crowd, and loud and angry words
were being used. The people were
gathered about an open street door,
and from what could understand with
my childish mind, family were being
turned out of their house in conse-
quence of owing some money which
they were unable to pay. Their furni-
ture had been seized and sold. and
they were being bundled into the
streets. The sympathies of the crowd
were with them, as is invariably the
case on such occasions, crowds being
always composed of poor people; and
oaths and threats were flung at the
man to whom the money was owing,
and who had in this way enforced his
claim / heard his name. 1t was
Druce. Presently the crowd divided,
and by some means I was in the CEN
ter of it, standing by the two men who
played the principal parts. The face
Of one of these men was white and
pinched and livid, as though with fear
and malice; the face of the other was
convulsed with passion, and blood was
trickling down II. Instinctively, child as
I was, knew which was the wronged
man, and which the wronger and
their faces became indelibly stamped
upon my memory. The name of the
wronger, also, would never have been
forgotten by me, even if in afterdays
had not cause to remember 1t. | ran
