HOFMANN'S COSTLY SPRAiN.
The Pianist's Recent Accident Deprived
Him of Earning at Least $500.

The Pianist's Recent Accident Deprived
Him of Earning at Least 1880.
Although Josef Hofmann, the pianist,
looks upon the accident which he met
with recently as an experience any
wheelman is likely to meet, yet his IA
ther and those who have the business
management of his concert tour are
hardly over their fright and have been
contemplating with terror almost I'M
speakable the probable consequences had
Hofmann broken bone in his wrist or
his hand instead of simply spraining
some of his muscles.
The accident was costly one, for it
deprived Holman of the opportunity
of earning at least So, 800, which he
was to have received for the series of
concerts which he was obliged to can
Gel. On the afternoon before the acct
dent happened he had played with
Thomas orchestra to wildly enthu-
siastic audience, which packed the
great Metropolitan Opera House, in
New York from the orchestra seats to
the remote gallery almost in the clouds,
and he played superbly. His success
was already established and there SEEM
ed every chance that in his tour through
the country he was to enjoy the expe-
riences which characterized Paderewski.
Yet Hoffman,, who is a youth of a
great deal Of common sense, says that
it is as necessary for pianist to get ex-
ercise and maintain his strength as it
is for him to practice the scales. There
fore, he does not propose to give up the
wheel, although hereafter he will look
carefully at the wheel before he goes
upon his rides. Paderewski was fond of
exercise but he would take none that
in any way endangered his wrists, fin
gers or hands. He found billiards per-
feet exercise for himself, and he believed
the game to be an admirable one for all
piano players. Holland in Philadel-
phia Press.

House to pay his respects to the president.
Much to his surprise, the president said
that he had no intention of accepting his
resignation and desired him to return to
Buenos Ayres and resume his duties as
soon as his leave of absence expired. Mr.
Buchanan asked some days to consider the
matter and consult with his family, and
recently notified the president of his will

president with the value of Mr.. Buohan

EX-SENATOR 8. X. BRUCE.
How He Was Once Treated by q Missis-
sippi Steamboat Captain.

How He Was Once Treated by a Missis-
sippi Steamboat Captain.
On one of his latest visits to New
York the late Mr.. Bruce told of an ex-
perience which he had just after he
was elected senator from Mississippi,
and IL was an experience which illus
.rates the tact and good sense which al
ways characterized him. 1t was an
nounced that the senator would 90 to
Washington from his Mississippi home
by one of the Mississippi steamboats,, at
least as far as ST. Louis ON his way.
The captain, a man of the name of
Lathers, was typical Mississippi
steamboat captain, and he was reported
to have said that he would show the
black senator when he got aboard of his
boat that he would have to keep his
place on that boat, and if he put ON
any airs because he happened to be SEN
ator the captain would teach him man.
ners. f
AS soon as Bruce boarded the steam
boat he sought the captain, and he said
to him: captain Lathers, am going
w Voch'h6 VII, anu ~ pui0 Va buo way db
passenger on your steamboat. My name
is Bruce, and possibly you may have
heard of me. What wanted to say is
that l know perfectly well what the
feeling Of many people who are travel
ers regarding persons Of my color is
They cannot help it, and cannot help
it, and am going to give them no &C.
casion for any annoyance while am a
passenger on your boat. / simply ask
you that you see to it that / am made
as comfortable as possible, and l assure
you that you will have no reason for
complaint. "aso
The bluff captain stepped back pace
or two, looked Bruce over, and then
held out his hand and said with great
emphasis: "By II You shall sit at my
table, you shall sit on my right hand
on the entire trip, and if any man OBJ
jeots he will have to fight me- A man
who can talk as you have and who is as
fair as you are is - sight better
fitted to be United States senator than
some of the white senator's ! have car
ried ON this boat" and ON that entire
trip Of some three days the captain
made Bruce his guest. Holland in

THE WAR OF THE FUTURE.
Hereafter a Naval Battle Will BE Fought
on Scientific Principles.

Hereafter a Naval Battle Will BE Fought
on Scientific Principles.
The next war will be war of chem.
istry, mathematics and electricity. The
war between Japan and China is the
only one that was ever fought upon sci
entifc principles, but it was hardly
fair test, because the Japanese met with
no resistance. They unanswered their
armies and their fleets according to
rules laid down by the authorities ON
warfare, and it was possible for them
to do so, because the enemy never inter-
fered with their calculations. Down ut
the naval school at Newport the stu
dents play games Of war, in which prob
lens are worked out with toy ships and
guns and soldiers on the theory that God
is on the side Of the heaviest artillery
and that skill is superior to force.
Hereafter in war there will be no
scenes of gallantry such as have made
heroes in the past. The hero of the fu-
ture is a man who can direct torpedo
with the greatest accuracy or land a
shell at a certain SPOT in the enemy's
fleet by the aid Of Il large hinder and q
mathematical calculation. William 4.

remain in charge of our legation to the

honor. Mr.. Buchanan, like other mem

resignation on March 4, 1897, to take ef-

expecting that it would be accepted and
that he might hear of the appointment of
his successor at any time, he got leave of
absence and permission to return to the

Ayres he surrendered his house, packed
his furniture and other belongings and
