HE WAS NOT SNUBBED.
General Wheeler Denies Story as to
His Treatment.

Chattanooga. Tenn, May 15.-General
Joseph Wheeler requests the Associated
Press to deny the widely circulated
story that he was snubbed by the COM
mittee on arrangements at the confed-
crate reunion at Charleston.
General Wheeler states that the ru-
nlors probably started from the failure
OF the committee TO send. a carriage in
which to ride in the parade. The COM
mittee told the general one would be
sent but the committeeman having the
matter in charge in the press of other
matter forgot il. General Wheeler
states the matter was fully explained
to him and he treated it as a joke. He
dennied there was any unpleasantness.

A young woman who revels in woe
has evolved, or Mt least revived, an ex-
cellent way of keeping herself in a
state OF perpetual gloom. She has a
diary with two pages for each day.
On one page she writes what she ex-
poets to do. where she proposes to go
and whom she hopes to see during the
day. On the opposite page she writes
what she has done, where she has
peen and whom she has seen. The
pages, says the young woman, never
agree and are usually fat contradic-
tions of each other. The silver lining
OF the cloud of pessimism which such
perverse state of affairs would other
wise engender is that she has noticed
that when she predicts and expects n
gloomy day, filed with disagreeable
duties or monotonous dullness. the
opposite page is sure to glimmer with
pleasant surprises-callsf from pleasant
people, letters from absent friends,
invitations of an especially tempting
character and all sorts of unlocked
for enjoyment. The writer of the
diary says she finds it an excellent
antldote for undue elation of spirits
and check to despair. When she
feels down" she can turn to her blue
days and see how well they turned out,
and when she feels particularly ex-
uberant glance at the record of days
loyously anticipated but miserably
spent has wonderfully SOLDERING ef-
feet The book keeps her in state
OF tranquil neutrality very restful for
the nerves. The absurd young wom-
an has had the odd diary bound in
pink and purple, typifying Joy and
woe, and calls it her book of faith.-

walked in to see what was the matter
Topsy-turvydom reigned supreme il
all the rooms that the thieves ha6
ransacked. He searched thoroughly
everywhere, but to his surprise could
see no one, nor could be hear voice.
At last he came to the room where the
bride and bridegroom were sitting.
"Why do find the street door open?'
inquired the police officer. Neither
the man nor the woman deigned 10
reply.
Explain at once why your street
door is open and your house in such q
fearful state of -disorder?" angrily
shouted the police officer, sternly re-
garding the man. Still not a word
did the man answer.
"Once more command you to ex-
plain the disreputahle condition in
which find you, your wife and your
house. Fail to answer and your heads
shall pay the forfeit
A dead silence followed this awful
threat. The police officer waited one
full minute, and the bridegroom and
his bride could almost hear each
others heart-throbs. Yet neither
stirred nor spoke. Then with loud
and furious voice the police officer
ordered that first the mans head
should be cut off, and afterward the
woman's.
The few necessary preparations
were quickly made, and the execu-
toners sword was just about to per-
form its horrible task, when the wom-
an, unable any longer to restrain her
agony, fell on her knees and said:
Sir, have pity, I implore you. Spare
him; ne is my husband. We are only
welded yesterday"
"Ha! hal" exclaimed the man, clap
ping his hands; "I have won the
wager! so, dear wife, at once-shut
the door,"
"Surely, they are both mad. The
evil eye has been cast upon them,"
calculated the police officer.
NAY, sir, we are neither of us
mad" said the husband, voluble
enough now since his wife had spoken
first, and therefore gone to shut the
street door. Then with many gesticula-
tions he told the man how it had all
happened, and how he and his wife
had been robbed of all their wedding
finery, and reduced to a state of
beggary.
''Poor fools!" was all the police
officer said, as he turned on his heels
and went out, leaving the street door
wide open for the second time!

Putting Moonlight In NJ usic.

Beethoven's famous composition,
the Moonlight Sonata, is said to have
been composed under the following
circumstances:
One evening, as Beethoven and a
friend were hurrying through the
streets of Bonn, they heard the fami-
liar notes of the Sonata in F. Some
thing in the musicians touch attracted
the attention of Beethoven, and be
stopped and listened. Suddenly the
music stopped, and the despairing
words of the musician came to them
through the open window: "Oh, if
could but hear some really good
musician play this wonderful piecep'
and the words ended in sob.
LET us go in" said Beethoven.
They entered and found the player a
young girl, poor and blind. Beethoven
sat down at the old harpsichord and
played as he had never played before,
His listeners were spellbound. "Tell
u.s." they begged, "who are you?''
For answer he played the opening bars
in the Sonata in F. SIT is Beetho.
ven!" they exclaimed in awe and ad-
miration.
Suddenly the candle fickered and
went out. Beethoven ceased playing
and bowed his head upon his hand.
His friend threw open the shutters; O
flood of beautiful moonlight entered
the room. It's transfigurating light
touched up the poor old instrument
and rested upon the noble figure
bowed before it. The profound 81.
lence was broken at last by the
musician, who said, 'Listenl 1 will
improyise sonata to the moonlight" "
Then was created this wonderful
sonata, beginning in a sad, tender
movement, the embodiment in sound
OF the gentle moonlight transfguring
and glorifying the dark earth.
Suddenly the music ceased, and
with brief farewell Beethoven hur.
ried home to put upon paper this
famous composition. = Philadelphia

The DETACHMENT of rural scenery by
ugly advertisements on fences, rocks
and barns, is an old story; but in
spite of frequent and vigorous pro-
tests the evil custom seems to con-
tinue. This is largely because many
farmers have not keen appreciation
of the artistic offence of such adver-
tisements. They are a good illustra-
tion of the old adage that familiarity
breeds contempt. They have spent
their whole lives amid the beauties of
nature, with the result that their eyes
are blinded to those beauties. In this
respect they are no worse than city
people, who, for the same reason, are
almost wholly Indifferent to excres-
cences that may mar the beauty of
city streets and buildings.

The Queen of the Belgians has
issued rescript to her sister queens
and expresses asking them to form an
alliance for the purpose of helping the
lacemakers OF Europe. She has ap-
pealed to them to forswear wearing
imitation lace and to bind themselves
to wear only handmade lace, pointing
out that the machine-made fabric
threatens the extinction of artistic.
hand-worked lace. The number of
lacemakers in Belgium and France
has diminished since the advent of
lace machinery by forty thousand per-
sons. The Queens appeal met with
ready response and the queenly
alliance has already become fact.
