From the San Francisco
"When-in the '50s-Wagner's works be-
gan to spread through Germany. one
town after another put The Flying
Dutchman,' 'Rienzi.' "Tannhauser' and
Lohengrin' on its theater's programme"
writes Richard Wagner's biographer I'm
the October Ladies' Home Journal. AT
that epoch theaters I'm Germany gave no
percentage whatever. The only obligation
the law imposed on them was to buy the
score. The price of the score was fixed In
each special case between the theater and
the author. and varied according TO the
population of the town and the success
expected. Once the score was bought. the
theater had no further obligation toward
the author. Wagner usually got from si
TO $50 for a score. and rarely sl20. What
Wagner g%ot-once FOR all-for Rienzi.'
THE Flying Dutchman.' '~Tannhauser' and
'Lohengrin' therefore. all told.
to something like $50 to 500 from each
theater which put these works ON the
stage.
Another source of income ought to
have been the sale Of the scores of the
publishers, several of whom have made
fortunes with them. But the fact thai
Wagner was always In want of money
put him i'm "A disadvantageous position.

The annual meetings of the Great
Northern and Manitoba are announced
to be held at st. Pau to-day. The di-
rectors whose terms expire are Lori
Strathcona and Mount Royal. common
ly known as Sir Donald Smith. Glencoe.
Scotland: Jacob ii. Schiff and Henry
w. Cannon. both of New York. They
will probably be reelected. No official
changes are anticipated.
Two important matters will be voted
on. one of these being the changing of
the company's preferred stock into a
new stock. which shall be practically
common stock. as provided In its char
ter, the object being to Justify the in
crease in dividend from 6 to Z per cent,
which has just been made The present
stock is limited to 6 per cent. The other
matter is the proposed abolition of the
Manitoba stock by exchanging -four
shares of Manitoba for five shares of
Great Northern. The effect of this will
be to give Manitoba stockholders an
nual dividends amounting to S.75 per
cent. 1t Is understood hat this beyond
doubt will be done.

EVERY INCH a KING
Was kalakaua When IL Came To Much
Mixing of Drinks.

Was kalakaua When IL Came to Much
Mixing of Drinks.
From the San Francisco Daily Report.
David Belenberg spent $1,000 on a
grand military drunk at st. Michaels.
B%elenberg, a returning Klondiker. con-
ceived the happy idea of having the ar
tillery drink against the infantry. and,
having more money than brains. car
ried this idea into effect. Unfortunately
for those interested in the statistics Of
science the results of this military de-
bauch were not carefully and conscien-
tiously noted. and the world will never
know which branch Of the service de-
veloped the greater carrying capacity.
The st. Mfchaels incident reminds us
of an episode in the career of the late
King Kalakaua. During one of his Wis
its to this city he was taken to Mare
Island on a naval vessel, and the guests
on this occasion included a dozen or
two army officers, some of whom were
young. lively and out for fun. The ma
Wy officers n army officers had a quiet
little talk and 1t was agreed that, as
the navy officers had their regular work
to 10 they could not take a social glass,
and therefore it was the duty Of the ar
my officers to see that his majesty was
properly corned and IL possible laid out
on the trip to the island. The fun wax
ed fast and furious in the officers quar-
tiers and the flowing bowl was kept in
constant motion, toast after toast was
offered. and on every occasion Kala-
kaua drank to the full limit. accepting
every challenge from an army man.
By the time the vessel rounded Mare
Island light most of the army officers
were resting on the couches of the navy
officers. but Kalakaua, steady as a
rock. bright, smiling n genial. still
the center of the group In the ward
robe. was ready. willing. and ever eager
to drink to every sentiment his hosts
might offer. Arrived at Mare Island,
he walked ashore as dignified as ever,
bowling graciously to the right and left,
and in the reception hall he met the off,
GERS and ladies in his easy. affable way,
n charmed one and all with his
courtly and happy style. Ii
was a glass of champagne with Mr.. So
and-So. champagne with the admiral.
punch with the other officers. and at
the close Of the day he returned to the
ship. came vel to the city. a
his inn at the palace as usual. and
in the evening received a few visitors
and was the honored guest at a social
gathering.
In army circles to this day. whenever
any one says this man or that man can
carry on a large mou of o and
fiery liquors with cas- and comfort.
there is always some one to say: "Oh,
yes. he Is a pretty ~hard-headed man,
but you should a W seen Kalakaua ON
the Mare Island trip"
