Bismarck preferred the music of Bee
thoven to that of any other composer. AS
for Richard Wagner, he said late in life:
yes I knew Wagner but it was impos-
sible for NE to care for him AT breakfast
and lunch, at dinner. every moment Wag-
her demanded admiration. He would be
first. l found myself too busy for that.
AS to hearing music, now l have to give
that up. l cannot get the melodies out
Of my head, and, too, music soon brings
tears to my eyes, and it tires me to be
so much moved"

When Macready was an actor manager,
he produced at his theatre a piece called
The Spy" the early acts of which show
q it must prove a failure. So when at
certain point a character had to rush on
and shout, Eve hundred pounds for the

cealed behind a rock arose and cried: IT'S

by the joint standing committee on fire

sented to the Common Council there is
no doubt that the report will favor
putting the wires underground, the ques.
tion in issue being mainly as TO whether

whether the city should expend much
larger sum and construct It's own ducts.
