HAYDN AND THE LADIES'.
Wonderful Susceptibility of the
Great Composer.

Wonderful susceptibility OF the
Great Composer.
When Haydn came to England, he
succumbed, says the writer of an artl-
Gle on "Music and Matrimony' in the
Cornhill Magazine, to the charms or
certain Mrs. Shaw, who figures in his
diary as the most beautiful woman he
had ever met. AS matter of fact,
Haydn was always meeting the most
beautiful woman.
'"The loveliest woman 1 ever saw"
was ut one time n Mrs. Hodges. while
at another time the widow of n must
clan named Schroeder so fascinated
him that he kept her letters for many
years and declared that if it were not
for the existence of Anna Maria he
would have married her. Certainly
Mrs. Schroeters letters were pleasant
enough. Every moment of your COM
pany,' she wrote from buckingham
Gate in 1892, sis more and more pre-
cious to me now that your departure is
so near. feel for you the fondest and
tenderest affection the human heart is
capable of. L ever am, with the most
inviolable attachment, my dearest and
most beloved Haydn, most faithfully
and most affectionately yours"
What would the absent Frau Doc
TORN Haydn have said had she known
of it? The composer also got mixed up
in Il little affair with the beautiful Mrs.
Ellington. Sir Joshua Reynolds was
painting her portrait for him and had
represented her as st. Cecilia listen
ing to celestial music. "What do you
think of the charming Billington's pic
ture:" said the artist to Haydn when
the work was finished. ut is indeed
a beautiful picture replied Haydn.
1T is just like her, but there is a
strange mistake You have painted her
listening to the angels when you ought
to have painted the angels listening to
her."
If Haydn paid compliments like this
all round, we can easily understand
how he attained such fame as a Lon
don society man.

THE CAPTAINS STORY.
He Spins a Yarn About a Wonderful
Recovery on ShipbOard.


A little group had been spinning
yarns in the rotunda of the Walton for
an hour or more when n bronze
visaged, middle aged man Joined the
party. Several of the group recognized
him as the captain of one of the big
tramp steamers which ply between
Philadelphia and foreign ports, and a
place in the circle was at once made
for him.
We've been killing time telling sto-
ries," some one explained suppose
you turn in your contribution"
The captain thought moment and
then smiled.
81 was thinking of something that
happened on my last voyage" he final
" said. 1--WE had on board as a cook
big colored fellow, whose principal
companion was Il little yellow cur dog.
One day while the cook was preparing
some beef for dinner he let the heavy
cleaver with which he was doing the
chopping slip from his grasp.
1T fell to the floor with a thud, and
the cook emitted n howl of anguish
that was heard all over the ship. The
cleaver had struck one of his bare feet
and sliced the big toe off as neatly as
q surgeon could have done it, Here
was n chance for the yellow dog, and
he seized it. Making dive for the
severed toe, he swallowed it in one
gulp and then made a bee line for the
deck.
This was more than the cook, GRAZ
ed with pain could stand, and he hurl-
ed the cleaver at the dog. His aim
proved true, and his curship passed out
of existence then and there. At this
juncture the ships doctor came up to
find out what all the row was about
When he learned the truth, he laughed.
"I'I fix that for you, he exclaimed
to the cook, wait till 1 get my instru-
ment case
within five minutes he had held
post mortem on the dog and recovered
the lost toe. Washing it with antisep-
ties, he skillfully stitched it back in
place again, and the cook hobbled back
to his quarters minus his dog, but with
as many toes as he had ever had.
That's about the only story l recall
lust now, gentlemen. 1t has the merit
of being true, however, and If you
don't believe it come down to the ship
any time and I'll show you the cleaver.
The cook has quit the sea, and don't
know his present address. "-Philadel-
phia Inquirer

Not Very Polite,

John Clerk, afterward known as
Lord Eldin. was limping down the
High street of Edinburgh one day
when he heard young lady remark to
her companion. THAT is the famous
John Clerk, the lame lawyer" He
turned round and said, with his mot
unwonted coarseness:" You lie,
ma'am. L am lame man, but not a
lame lawyer"
Lord Justice Braxfield, too. appears
to have failed in courtesy to the fair
sex, for, when told that a brother

who was fitted with a Xantippe. re-
piled: Has he? That is a guide excuse

hitch had not disappeared, but late In
the day official dispatches were received
from Berlin stating that as a result OF
conferences between the German, Brit
ish and American representatives set
t1ement was assured.
The main feature of this conference
was in a determination that the high
commission would act by unanimous
vote, and not through a majority. The
present tendency is not to-provide a
final arbitrator, but to assume that the
commission will agree among them
selves. This eliminates for the present
King Oscar of Sweden, who has been
mentioned for umpire.
The German ambassador and mem
bers of his staff also made a call to-
day at the British Embassy, thus fur
ther evidencing the agreeable relations
which have suddenly taken the place
of rather strained conditions heretofore
prevailing in Samoa.
