MT Wheat and Sir Arthur Sullivan

Prof. Leo Wheat, formerly of Ber-
ryvllle, has written the Washington
Post of an interesting incident in the
life of the late Sir Arthur Sullivan,
the composer of the "Lost Chord. ="
Prof. Wheat says:
"Apropos of the article in the Post
anent the Lost Chord" composed by
my classmate, sir Arthur Sullivan, kind
ly permit me to lay through your gener-
Gus columns and fundamentally this
laurel leaf upon his grave. When Ar
thur Sullivan visited me in 1891, in my
home in Virginia, | asked him what had
inspired the Lost Chord" his immortal
and best song, as he knew il could not
have been born without inspiration, and
"A sad one, at that Iquote his reply YER
batm:
Leo, you know | had for years long
eel to put Adelaide Proctor's exquisite
lines, The Lost Chord" to music, but
the inspiration never came until my bro
Their, Fred, lay dying, while | held his
hand, and listened To his fast ebbing
breath, when God mercifully sent that
long sought song into my heart, which
then and there noted down carefully,
and as yop said, it is, by all odds, my
best and dearest song
"He then played il on my orchestral
organ, as did by way of requiem, last
Sunday in evening service, and / only
pray God that he and /, and you all, may
hear that grand amen in heaven. Peace

Miss Ceton On Physical Culture.
At Winston Hall, on Friday after
noon last, Miss Flora @. Cation en-
tertainei most delightfully."- . number
OF ladies of this place.
Her object in calling them togeth-
er was to bring before them in an
intelligent manner the benefits to be
derived from physical culture. This
she did in most interesting way by
first testifying to the blessings which
1t had brought to her own life. At
ter having suffered from infancy
with bronchial troubles, which at
last ran into consumption, she resolv-
ed, If possible. to End release in q
systematic training of her body. Miss
Cation is certainly nov an exponent
of perfect health. She next consid-
cred the ressonsbleness of physical
culture under three heads, namely
ais it Cody? ais it profitable?" "Is
it beautiful
Under the first head, Miss Cation
referred her audience to several pas
sages In the Scripture bearing upon
the necessity of caring for the BODY,
and of making i: ga temple fit for
the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. !"
"ls 1T profitable" was next asked by
Miss Cation, and answered in a most
satisfactory manner by reminding US
that when our bodies are comfortable
our thinking powers are better. and
We are capable Of more work. "Is
it beautiful" There was commented
upon the attitudes in standing. sitting
and walking, of those unframed in
these things.

Th" honeymoon of George W. An
derson and his bride, of Stephens
City, near Winchester. who were nlar
ried IN Winchester late last FRIDAY
night, after considerable difficulty.
WAS cut short after 36 hours of bliss
by the groom threatening to kill his
wife aud then himself, and afterward
being run out of town by an infuri-
ated mob.
Mr.. Anderson, who combines the
preaching of the Gospel with the
making of barrels, is 81, and his
bride, who was Miss Laura MoKIn-
ney, Winchester, is just % years of
age. On the way home from the
wedding the bride spoke to her lord
about a pug dog he owned, and sug-
gested that he now lavish his sffec-
tions upon her and discard the dog
at least to the extent of making the
pug sleep out of doors. Mr.. Ander-
son protested that he had known the
dog before he had the bride, and con-
sequently declined to consider q sep
aration from the former.
Sunday the dog was brought up at
the table, and angry words followed.
The groom demanded some money
back which be had given the bride,
and she positively declined. An ex-
citing scene is said to have followed.
IN which the groom threatened to kill
Mrs. Anderson, their landlady and
then himself.
While he was at the magistrates
office procuring his wife's arrest for
stealing his money mob gathered
and the leader gave Mr.. Anderson 10
minutes to leave town.
Mr., Anderson left at once, but, af
ter spending the night at farm
house, he went to Winchester and. re-
tanned counsel to recover possession
of the money and jewelry he had Civ
en- his wife. He had the pug dog
with him.

KOYUKUK IN EVERY MOUTH.
Arthur WhaIIey Writes That Nome
Is sheIved So Far ms kIon-
dlke Is Concerned.

John A. Whalley, of this city. received
letter from his brother, Arthur. writ
ten at Dawson, April IL, in which the
latter says the miners Of the Klondike
are very busy now preparing for the
spring cleanup. The camp is quite ac-
tive. but many will probably leave for
the lower river upon the opening of navi-
CATION Mr. Whalley writes that as far
Cape Nome is on the shelf. There is lit
present. but the Koyukuk is in the mouth
of everybody. Already a good many have
left In great haste for the Koyukuk,
among them being Arthur Faber, who
is well known in Seattle.
Many who had planned to come out on
the first boats have changed their minds
and are going to the Koyukuk. There
are others who would gladly dispose of
their Dawson interests in order to join
in the latest stampede, If such n thing
were possible, and among those who
may pick up stakes is Mr.. Whalley him
self. Those going to the Koyukuk this
summer will either take the trail by the
way of Dahl river. which means
200-mile journey overland or they will
drop down to the mouth If the Koykuk
and ascend that river. Over a hu
steamers, large ana small went up the
koyukuk In 1893, and It is thought that
there will be another great rush up that
stream this year.
The latest advices from the Koyukuk
received at Dawson confirm the reports
of rich strikes which were brought out
some weeks ago
