MUSICAL.
HOW STRAUSS COMPOSED.

| HOW STRAUSS COMPOSED.
Musical America
| The wonderful dance music that gave
| Johann Strauss the title of Dance KING
way that is strangely, IN contrast to the
| pulse-like rhythm and continuity OF the
! Blue Danube Waltzes."
| Musical impressions, themes, combina-
| tons in harmony, came into the musician
! head al the most unexpected times and
| places. And Johann never let them escape.
| No matter where he was or what he was
doing, the Inspiration of the moment was
| obeyed and the melody was written down
| almost as soon as conceived by the brain,
| on whatever material was at hand. This
| happened oftenest to the composers cuns,
and when they were covered his snlrt
| bosom. Often and often after his linen
| had gone into the wash Madame Strauss
would be startled by frantic appeal for a
| shirt or a pair of cuffs that held some
| musical fragment jotted down in moment
| of inspiration and now lost to the despair
! ing composer who had forgotten 10 copy
/ it. The most famous of all the themes. he
wrote, The Blue Danube, was first Jot-
/ ted down on, his cuff with a pencil, and
might have shared the fate of other inspi-
! rations had it not been for the sympathetic
care and devotion of his wife. Mrs. Strauss
entered into her husbands erratic. moods
with infinite tact and care. Instead of be-
| ing irritated a his uncertain and incon-
| Venient methods of composing. she dld
everything to help him: He wrote on any
thing, books, papers, pictures, in whatever
room he happened to be. His wife had
| pens and paper scattered all over the
/ house so that wherever he went he should
| find them She had piano in every room
| that her husband used, and never let bit
| of his linen go to the laundress unless it
was perfectly clean as far as musical
| scores were concerned. 1t is owing to her
| wise sympathy that many of the compos-
! er's best loved dances are known to-day.
| In common with most great men, Strauss
loved a garden, and often worked In his.
Nothing seemed to stimulate his musical
| ideas like wedding or hoeing.
| He would often drop his hoe in the mid
| die of row of turnips or jump up from
the, absorbed wedding of carrot patch,
rush into, the house seize the first piece
! of paper he saw and dash off bar or two
| of melody to be afterward elaborated into
| a tone-poem.
| gives the dance Inusic Of Stranss its VI.
| brant and living quality. 1t sweeps the
dancers along like river and and appeals
! to emotions as old as human nature.
Straus belongs to no time, place nation.
| He is universal and immortal. and while
| girls and boys live they will dance to the
| music of the Beautiful Blue Danube

WILL RESUME.

Claims Made That Cars Will Start on Over
the River Line.
If reports coming from the most au-
thentic sources are to be relied upon
the street car situation over the river
will reach a crisis to-day. After the
meeting at Bellaire Friday night adj
journed in disorder the Ohio delegates
reassembled and talked the situation
over among themselves. AS a result
it was decided to submit the question
of lifting the boycott on the B.. B. &
M. F. line to the Belmont Trades AS
sembly at its meeting at Bellaire this
afternoon. At that time the delegates
from the organization recently formed
by the employees of the B., B. & M: F
line will be present with their creden-
tials, which will give them standing
upon the floor of the assembly. They
will moreover announce that the COM
pany has agreed to recognize their
union, unless plans formulated last eve
ming are changed, and the sentiment OF
the Ohio delegates, it Is claimed, leaves
no doubt but the boycott will be re
moved. Said well informed member
of the Ohio local last night:
There is no doubt that cars will be
running on the b., b. Il M. +. line by
Monday morning, or Tuesday at the
farthest. We are organized and the
company has recognized our union.
They offer us 171a cents an hour, and
we are willing to take it, so how can
the trades assembly refuse to lift the
boycott? The Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street Railway Employees has
no fixed schedule of prices and there
fore no one but ourselves have a right
to say how much we shall work for.
we are offered what we consider a
reasonable wage, and we have the rec
ognition of our union, so we have no
quarrel with anyone. We do want to
go to work, though, and expect to do
so within forty-eight hours"
The company ran two cars over the
Bellaire end of the line yesterday with
workmen aboard to clear the tracks
and upon their part, too, an early re-
sumption is evidently anticipated.

SOME WAR FACTS.

AS a means of keeping at least some
OF the volunteers now in the Philip
pines, the government has offered, as
an inducement, payment of $3.50 in
cash to every private soldier who will
re-enlist for the term of two years, and
if these terms are even accepted by a
moderate number of men the outlay
will be about two wilton dollars. This
money pay is computed as the travel
pay the men would receive if mustered
out at Manila. If the men do not ac-
cept they will be sent home on troop
ships, and will receive but fraction
of the $3.50, as they will be mustered
out at San Francisco or some other
point in this country 1t is expected
that enough volunteers from the vari-
GUS Western States will accept these
terms 10 form at least two regiments.
If so, the men will receive in bonus
s1,3s4,000. a fact which shows that men
are needed very badly.
BY way of additional achievements,
the transports Zealandia, Valencia and
Wyefeld have been chartered at San
Francisco, and they will carry the
Twenty-fourth and Twenty-tifth COL
ored infantry regiments, several COM
panies of the Fourth cavalry, and a
company OF the engineer corps, now at
West Point, who have received orders
to hurry across the continent to catch
the ships. Many recruits for the regu-
lars will also so, and recruiting is to
be kept up, the total number of men
secured in excess of the $4,000 author
lied for the regular army to be classed
as volunteers" thus evading the nee
essity of formal call on the States for
be kept up, the number of men
These recruits, ON arrival at Manila,
will be used to fill up the decimated
regular regiments to the unprecedented
strength of 1886 men each, and any
excess will probably be formed into
provisional batlalions and regiments,
and used for garrison duty.
AS to our losses in this war, the Off
cial and acknowledged figures from
February 4th to June 9th show a total
of dead from all causes of $50, of whom
295 were killed in action or died of
wounds, and 1866 wounded but not
dead. Since June 9Th a good many
have been killed and wounded.
AS to the sick list, there are no off,
cial figures worth serious considera-
ton, but it is stated, upon excellent
authority" in Washington, that be-
tween 5000 and 10000 men are on the
sick list, or "a per cent. of the total
number on the rolls.
These figures are compiled from the
best information obtainable, and are
believed to show the real situation.
That many troops are needed, both the
censored news and the actions of the
washington officials demonstrate con-
clusiVely. II tho war goes On, Septem-

The citizens of Benwood held mass
meeting at the City Hall last evening

ing their present course of supporting
the street car strikers. Several hun
dred people were present, and there
was much enthusiasm throughout the
evening The call to order was made

was appointed as chairman.
Mr.. Mahood addressed the assem-
blage and stated that the object of the

laken by the Wheeling Chamber of

Whereas, The Chamber of Commerce
of the city of Wheeling, at a called
meeting held at Odd Fellows Hall,
June 16, voted to patronize the cars of
the Wheeling Street Railway Company

done the striking employees of the road
or not; therefore. be it
Resolved, That we continue our
present course of supporting the strik-
ers irrespective of the action of the
Chamber of Commerce, deeming it I'M
just and unwise.
Resolved, That we use our influence
with the business men and others of
Benwood to refrain from patroniZing
merchants of Wheeling who instigated
this move, or who patroniZe the railway
company according to programme.
Resolved, That standing commit
tee be appointed to watch the actions of
the merchants and others of Wheeling
with regards to their decision to break
the strike.
Resolved, That we ask the cooper
alton of all sympathizers with the
Wheeling street railway strikers in
their struggle to maintain living wages.
