1.-THE LOST CHORD"

How Sir Arthur Sullivan Came to
Write That Famous Melody.
Colonel Robert e. Lee Venting, a
great traveller and musician, tells the
following interesting story:
"It was while visiting the house Of a
nobleman in England that first heard
the story Of the birth Of The Lost
Chord song that has been sung in
every quarter Of the globe and which
will live forever. If ever there was
such thing as inspira ton, that song
was inspired. FL
"There are very few Englishmen
who do not remember Fred Sullivan.
the great comic star and brother Of Sir
Arthur Sullivan. He played in all the
original Gilbert and Sullivan operas
and has never been equaled. He was
later followed by George Grossmith.
zone day Sir Arthur Sullivan was
i'll. He made every effort to reach the
house where his brother was lying at
the point Of death, but arrived too late
to see him alive. The two brothers
were devoted to each other, and the
blow was a bitter one for Sir Arthur.
He was closeted with the body Of his
brother for two hours, at the expira-
ton Of which time he came down
stairs and went to the piano. Throw
ing the instrument open, he began to
play, and, bar by bar, The Lost Chord
was evolved. The composer sadly put
his new composition on paper and
stored it away.
"The song is the wall of a throbbing
heart, the grief Of desolation. All
through it's beautiful harmony can be
heard the strain of grief. So profound
an impression did the association of
the song with the death of his brother
make on Sir Arthur that he is said to
have, even at this late day, an aversion
to hearing it performed" -Baltimor

a ONGFEi Oly,S ADVICE
Kindness Wss the Remote Of tie
! Poets Character.

Kindness Was the Keynote Of TIE
! Poets Character.
Nine. de Navarro gives some charm
ing pictures Of Longfel1ow in "a Few
Memories" She says that every con-
versation with him led to some good
result. Ills first advice to her was:
"See some good picture-in nature il
possible, or on canyas-hear a page OF
the best music or read a great poem
daily. You will always find free half
hour for one or the other, and at the
end of the year your mind will shine
with such an accumulation of jewels
as to astonish even yourself. z
The poet was fond of a good, anus
ing story and had many to tell out Of
his own experience. He was particu-
larly delighted at the ingenuity of an.
enterprising yender of patent medicine
who, vaunting the marvellous effects
Of his drug, no doubt in the hope Of in
spring the poet, invited him to write
a verse for the label, promising him 3
percentage on each bottle and free
use Of the medicine for himself and
family.
On one Of his birthdays he was as
tonished at seeing a wagon containing
piano drive up to his house, followed
by a strange young lady in a carriage.
The young lady Informed the house
keeper that she wished the piano to be
put in a room where it would '.sound
WE'LL" as she had composed a piece Of
music in honor of the poets birthday
and meant to play it to him on her own
instrument. s.
Longfellow was great lover Of mu-
sic, and Wagner appealed to him
strongly. We heard several operas to-
gether in Boston after my engagement
there. He generally arrived before us,
armed with flowers and full of delight.
full anticipations. On one of these occa-
sions some one sent magnificent bou-
quet to our box. Not knowing the do
nor, I did not take it up. He insisted
on my doing so.
"Put down my simple Ones" he said,
''and take up these beautiful flowers
It will crafty the giver, who is no
doubt in the house. Try never to miss
an opportunity of giving pleasure. It.
will make you happier and BETTER"
Kindness was the keynote of his
character. No Inconvenience to him
self was too great if a good turn to
any one was at the end of it.

Coats Milk.

Modern Medicine says that goats
milk, contrary to the general impress
sion, differs from cows milk not in be-
ing more digestible, but in being less
digestible and less nutritious, although
it contains a larger amount Of solid
matter than cows milk. It is indeed
the most indigestible of all milk.
Goats milk has peculiar and unpleas-
ant odor and flavor, due to hircic acid,
or bircine. 1t contains an excess Of fat
and is therefore altogether too rich for
an infants diet.

A WOMAN.

God did not make her very wise,
But carved a strangeness round her mouth;
He put her great sorrow in her eyes
And softness for mems souls in drouth,
And on her face, for all to see,
The seal of awful tragedy.
God did not make her very fair,
But white and 1.-THE and strange and sweet;
subtle fragrance in her hair,
A slender swiftness IN her feet,
And in her hands SOW caress,
God made these for my steadfastness.
God did not give to her heart,
But there is that within her face
To make men long to muse apart
Until they goodness find and grace,
And think to read and worship there
All good, yet she is scarcely fair.

This was n terrible night for New

wiped out of existence by one of the
most severe cyclones that ever visited
that locality. 1t carried ruin and
death In it's path and at this hour it is
impossible to give an even partial list
OF those who are seriously injured. 1t
is thought many are dead.
The HAMS of the disaster was brought
here by j. a. Carroll, a travelling man

rados succeeded in recovering the pro-
prietor. Charles McI[ennon, wife and
one child from the debris, and they al
so removed the laundry girl, who was
so seriously injured that she will prob
ably die.
Mr. Carroll drove to Saltwater by
team for relief, and the train with doc
tors will leave here at 1915 a. m. Mr..
Carroll further says that the fire fol-
lowed the storm. and that what was
left is being destroyed by fire. Many
people are doubtless killed, and the
damage will run into hundreds of thou

sHAaKEY WILL FIGHT.

(By Telegraph to Virginlan- Pilot.)
San Francisco, June 1e.-Tom shar-
Key the pugilist, has received the fol-
lowing telegram from his manager
Tom O'Rourke. dated New York. June
11th:
Tom sharkey, Paso Robes. California:
Have accepted Jeffries challenge to
fight you early in September You had
better come here at once. There 10
nothing out there. Answer.

TO the above the sailor replied:
"Paso Robes. June 12.
Tom O'Rourke, New York: =
Am at springs: doing we'll: working
rignt along; Will leave for New York
IN three weeks. Weather Is rather warm
here.

From the above 1t would appear that
the. caustic challenge Issued by Jeffries
just after his defeat of Fitzsimmons
VIII lead to some ARRANGEMENT for a
nattle between the aspiring sailor and
the new champion.
Sharkey is in good condition and very
little work is required to put him on
edge for cruising contest. The sailor
has practically been in training for a
month and people capable OF judging
say that he is in magnificent condi-
ton. 81 - \.

Cleveland, O.. June 12.-After quiet
Sunday on which no attempt was made
to run cars, the struggle between the
Cleveland Electric Railway Company
(big cOnsolidated) and its striking en-
ployees was renewed in lively fashion
this morning.
The company started the first car for
downtown from the Lakeview barns
at 10 O'Clock. 1t was guarded by depu-
ties and manned by imported men. 1t
was greeted with jeers and some mis-
siles were thrown.
The next two cars dashed from the
barns across the railroad crossing with
out a stop. The city ordinance makes
it compulsory for the conductor of the
street car TO leave the car and go to
the railroad crossing and there signal
the motorman to proceed.
Two of the strikers were delegated TO
secure warrants for the crews of these
cars and later both of the new motor
men were arrested.
The first car TO leave Lakeview ar
rived at the square at O'clock. A few
hundred people were there waiting for
it.
FIOOTS AND JEERS.
The car was allowed to depart, how
ever, without any great demonstration
beyond the boots and jeers of the
crowd. The report that a car had pass
ed spread like wildiire, and When the
second car. which arrived at 9:10. came
along it was stopped. In few seconds
several thousand people were packed
around the car.
n delegation Of the strikers boarded
the car and endeavored to induce the
motorman to leave it. He was given
an ovation when he left. While the
strikers were talking with the motor
man and conductor the acts of vio-
lence, which accompanied the cars de-
parture from the barns. We're renewed
Stones and decayed vegetables Were
thrown.
Several men who were in sympathy
with the strikers endeavored to DRAG
the non-union men from the car. a
strong force of police finally charged
the crowd on Euclid avenue.
THIRD CAR OUT.
The third out of the barns was at.
tempting to make the return trip east
on the avenue. Thousands of people
and innumerable wagons blocked the
thoroughfare and impeded the progress

Chicago, ILL.,, Juno 1.-THE Times
Herald has been asking members of
the National Democratic Committee
what should be their party's battle cry
in 19O0-whether free silver" or down
with the trusts" or both. The answers
of those that have been received are
published in the Times Herald to-day,
as follows:
while only one Of the replies OF
these Democratic leaders, the represen-
tauye for Maine, the home State of
Mr.. Bryans running mate in 1896. says
drop free silver they are all but un-
animous in giving the trust question a
prominence 1t has never had in the
platform Of their own or other party.
With one exception, all who speak
freely. suggest that other issues will
divide the stage equally with free sill
yer. Some say 'militarism' or 'imper-
ialism will be one of the prominent
issues. Others emphasize the trust
question as the big thing. Still others
speak for q twin battle cry. Just one
committeeman says fatty the issues of
1896 should be the issues of $780, This
one exception is Alexander TrouD, of
Connecticut"

VOICE FROM KENTUCKY.

Urey Woodson (Kentucky) = The
Democratic gatherings at st. Louis
and Louisville the last two weeks ought
to clearly show the gold standard press
that its predictions that the Demo
Gratis are preparing to drop the silver
issue are altogether erroneous, for
every speech and every resolution
adopted was In favor OF maintaining
the same firm stand for free coinage
In 1900 as was taken In 1896. A year
hence Bryan will be renominated upon
the Chicago platform, unaltered save
by such additions with reference to
trusts. imperialism and other new
Issues as may seem necessary.
