Music AND EATRIMONf.

Luther declared that it was no more
possible TO do without g wife than to
do without eating and drinking; but
there have been q good many unmar.
ried musicians fer all that, says Corn
hill Magazine. Still, they have for
the most part given assent to the
theory so far as TO make some effort
toward attaining the blissful state.
1t is usual to represent Handel as a
old-hearEed miSogynis5 because he
was a bachelor. But Handel was GER
tainly more than once engaged to be
married. First it was to an Italian
woman with whom he fell in love
while young man in Venice. After
wards he wo':iG almost certainly have
married an English woman but for
the rude way in which the mother in
terposed; and finally he was engaged
TO d woIua.. of large property, who in
sisted as a condition Of the union
that ne should give up the practice of
his art, which Handel would as soon
have thought Of doing as of going
without mis- dinner.
1t is indeed curious to note how fire.
quently tie musicians have escaped
matrimony owing to the absuTdly
mean view taken Of their profession
by prospective father-in-laws. Bellini
practically died of broken heart be-
cause the father of his inamorata, a
Neapolitan judge, declined his suit
on account OF his social position.
Beethoven, again, certainly had de-
sires toward matrimony. "Oh, 6odn'
he exclains, let me ut last find her
who is destined to be nina, and who
shall strengthen Inc in virtue" But
Beethoven had none of the arts and
graces CT the lover, and to the end he
remained welded only to his art
which was perhaps just as well both
for the art and the woman.
Gluck, the founder Of the modern
opera, had also to conteGded with the
Phiistine father, i'll this case rich
banker and merchant, who had no
very high opinion of the financial re-
sources of musicians. Fortunately
for Gluck, however, the banker died
while the composers love was still
fresh, and consequently there was q
Nine. Gluck left to mourn him when
he said farewell to the world.
Chopin's sentimental amenities"
with George Sand have been the SUBJ
iect of more speculation than the love
affairs OF any other musician who has
ever lived. 1t was heartless bust
ness altogether on the side of the wo-
man, who not only left the composer
to his cough and his piano, after win
ming al! the affection he had to give,
but represented bin to the world as a
consumptive and exasperating nui-
sance.

4 BLIND FOX-RUNTER.

Augusta ChrcrU'e.
Mar Manday's Lending, among the
cliffs Of Jrss2m!ne county, Ky, is the
modest houe of Tom" Johuson.
Since earl youth Johnson has been
blind, cUt i;Otwi Ch standing this fact
he is one CT the most enthusiastic fox
hunters III tie State Often he follows
his hc!tnGs alone among the Kentucky
River ellis, going az Il sallop that one
with keen vision wouid not dare iIni-
tate. au2 although he has been doing
this fur many years he has never met
with accident. He knows every nook
and crook in the cliffs, and when he
comes 20 very dangerous point he dis
mouEt-. takes hold Of his horses tail
and the animal guides him TO safety.
y short tine ago a party of hunters
from Madison and Garrard counties
came here and with the local hunters
spent several nights chasing =" fox.
Joi nsGn was with them, and Oh the
second night they lost their bearings,
became saparNtad, and none OF them
except johnson were anie to make
thcir way OH Of the cliff that night.
The following day three of the hunters
came together at VOLTS Point. Much
apprehension was felt for the safety of

THE TREATY WILL
BE DENOUNCED

New York, April 1S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says AS a re-
suit of the United States granting to
Switzerland the same privileges accorded
to France under the reciprocity agree
ment with the latter country, several
European and South American countries
have demanded that like privileges be
allowed to them. So dangerous to the
commercial interests of this country has
become this Swiss treaty, under which
Switzerland is entitled to the benefits
obtained by France under her agreement
with the United States, that it was stated
today that it had become necessary to
formally denounce it, such denunciation
to take effect early in 1900.
The treaty provides that each of the
contracting parties hereby engages not
to grant any favor in commerce to any
nation, union of nations, state or society,
which shall not Immediately be enjoyed
by the other party
Before Germany or any other of the
nations desirOuS of obtaining the priVi-
leges granted to Switzerland can receive
them, they will be required to make re-
ciprocal compensation to the United
States. The matter is of considerable
Importance, especially as it is the eXpec-
tation of the state department that be-
fore the expiration of the period in which
the treaties of reciprocity be made, sew
eral instruments will have been signed
