vIvIER. THE HORN PLAYER.
ue Was Famous For Practical Jok.
Ing uSder Napoleon III.

He Was Famous For Practical Jok-
Ing Usder Napoleon HI.
The death, announced from Nice, at
the ngc of ~. OF the famous horn play
er and practical joker, Eugene Leon
Vivier. viii recall stories of a man who
figured largely in London and Partisan
society In the early days of the third
empire. yivier was a magnificent solo
horn player. but he was even more re-
markable as humorist. His practical
Jokes may seem rather stupid now, but
I'm their day they were the talk of Eu-
rope. One of them was to tie n young
calf on the second floor balcony OF his
house. so that crowd assembled and
blocked up the street. viviers excuse
was that he hated to see boys hurrying
on their errands and adopted this plan
to tempt them TO loiter. Then he kept
the calf In his rooms so long that IL
grew into bullock. and when the po-
lice interfered they found II impossible
to get the animal down stairs.
Vlvier invented a plan of mixing gum
with soap. for the manufacture OF soap
bubbles, OF n particularly large and
tough description, which he set flying
over St Petersburg, to the alarm of
the Emperor Nicholas, who imagined
1t to portend some new Instruction.
In London he had fancy for keeping
In his rooms, off Regent street, a cock,
for the board OF which he insisted on
paying Is pence week and which he
pretended TO treat as n familiar spirit,
jabbering TO 1t for some minutes and
g.,
house, his handkerchief to his eyes.
sobbing as though his heart would
break.
IN an omnibus he once pretended to
be mad, shouted at the top of his voice
and presented pistol at his own head.
Then, when seized, he gravely broke
the supposed pistol In half, handed one
piece to the conductor and proceeded
to eat the other half, which was choc-
olate.
Napoleon Ill was especially bis adj
mirer and gave him many sinecures,
among them an inspectorship of mines,
which meant the drawing from time to
time Of comfortable salary. When
Viyier wanted to travel, Napoleon used
TO send him, at the government ex.
pense, as a special imperial courier
with secret dispatches.
Vivier was n self made man and as
little more than a lad he came (part OF
the way on FOOT from his native Ajac-
clio, where his father was tax gather
er, to Paris and became player In the
band at the Italian Opera. Afterward
he studied seriously under Galaxy and
soon, as n soloist, took the foremost
place. He first visited London in 1S4S
on the recommendation of Louis Phi
lippe, who thought great deal OF him,
and his celebrity lasted practically un-
til the fall OF the empire.
He then retired 10 the south of
France keeping up his character for
eccentricity. he invented trick which
greatly perplexed the last generation
playing, or pretending to play. four
notes at once on the horn, the effect
being somewhat similar to that Of four
horns playing together.-Londou News

julius Kahn, the new congressman
from San Francisco, was an actor sew
eral years before he studied law, prac-
ticed at the bar and got into politics.
He has faced the gallery gods in every
city of the United States in his time.
But he admits that he never encounter
ed quite such a knockout as occurred
to him At a Washington dinner party
the other night.
The POSTMASTER had introduced Mr..
Kahn to an audience of between 100
and 200 diners with some remarks
about congress being place where
there was a good deal of acting and
the suggestion that Mr.. Kahn ought
to feel entirely at home. The actor
congressman rose to reply and led off
with the remark that he supposed the
POSTMASTER had reference to the fact
that he had passed some years Of his
life upon. the stage.
The words were no sooner out than
in a perfectly serious tone somebody
at the remotest table inquired, "Whom
did you drive for?"-St. Louis Globe

Power of the Mormon Church.

Beyond a doubt, says Rollin Lynde
HART in The Atlantic, the Mormon
church is, considered purely as a po-
litical economists scheme, to-day near
er to being a successful effort to inau-
gurate the brotherhood of man than
anything ever tried"
Here, then, is a social and political
force to be reckoned with. Marvellous
in it's power over the individual, it is
rapidly becoming an actual menace to
the nation. Already it numbers 1,O00,-
900 adherents. 1t owns Utah. 1t holds
the balance Of power in Idaho, in Wy
