HERE'S A MUSICAL TALE.
Being the story of Why Wagner
Pitched Upon Bayreuth.
From the London Graphic.

From the London Graphic.
Few people are aware of the raison
d'etre of Bayreuth, /. e., how it became
the Wagner town. 1t was on Dec a,
1871, that Wagner first visited Bay
reuth with a special introduction from
King Ludwig II to Feustel, wealthy
banker of Beyreuth. He was heartily
received by deputation, special
apartments were prepared for him al
the Hot'l Sonne-the very rooms which
Adelina Patti is occupying this year
ami the same day an inspection was
made of the immense opera house
there. Although this is a veritable
palace of a theater, built in 1748 Ivy
Giuseppe Cali Bibiena, it was found en-
tirely unsuitable by Wagner. A site
for building a theater in accordance
with Wagner's ideas was chosen-a
hill called the Stuckberg--and the own
err, a Mr.. Rose, consented at once to
the proposals made for erecting new
play house on his ground, and every
one was highly pleased. 1t seems,
however, that they had reckoned with
out their host, who appeared in me
shape of a brother-in-law who was CO.
partner and who distinctly declined TO
sanction the arrangement. Thinking
that everything was settled, Wagner
returned to his home in Switzerland,
where, a week or so later, Feustel and
the burgomaster of Beyreuth, Herr
Muncker, followed him and informed
him of the unexpected development.
Wagner. being very much upset, de-
clined to have anything further to do
with Bayreuth, and the burgomaster
and Feustel went away. On the
back, however, one of the lat
ter's goloshes came off, and he dis
covered that he was wearing pair
which did not belong to him. The two
friends thereupon returned to the house
and found that, in the confusion OF
leaving, one of them had taken Wag-
ner's rubber overshoes in mistake for
his own They were received by Wag-
rers wife, Cosima, who was greatly
amused at the occurrence, ana told
them that her husband had wished to
walk off his irritation, and had, before
starting out, called for his goloshes,
but was told by his patriotic hand
maiden that "those two nasty Ger
mans had sneaked the shoes" The
amusing side of the incident brought
back their courage, and they tackled
Cosirna Wagner, who agreed with them
that a mere change of site for the new
play house should not stand in the way
She promised to use her influence and
she kept her word. Shortly afterward
news was received that Wagner would
consent to the new site proposed viz.
the Burgerreuth, the property of the
town, and this is where the theater
now stands. Thus a pair of goloshes
saved Bayreuth!
Before leaving Bayreuth, Siegfried
Wagner kindly handed me his latest
photograph and autograph, which he
allowed me to use for the Graphic. The
chats 1 had with him at his charming
bijou villa, which adjoins the Villa
Wakufried-the residence of Cosima
wagner-and at present the gathering
place of the most famous artists in the
wcrld-will always be a pleasant re-
membrance to me.

Appendicitis.

Appendicitis" said DIR. Able in an
address before the New York Academy
of Medicine, ''has few rivals i'm the sur
gical field and takes rank today with
typhoid, pneumonia and rheumatism in
medical thought. Surely when the ac-
tive surgeon OF today can number 100
operations for diseased appendices
yearly-and there are dozen such men
in New York and i'm other cities in the
same proportion-we begin to grasp the
Importance of the subject and its men
ace to the community.
The public continues to ask the ply
stefan what was appendicitis formerly,
and he answers, Probably it passed
under the description Of inflammation
of the bowels or ''peritonitis." - 1t is
true that less than generation ago
numberless people in the course Of
summer travel were stricken with so
called Inflammation of the bowels or
peritonitis and died.
Now we hear of no one so reported,
but it is said, He had an attack Of APP
pendicitis, was beyond the reach Of a
surgeon and died. or, 'So-and-so had an
attack OF appendicitis, was operated
upon and recovered Hospital statis-
ties show the same changes of tabulat-
ed diseases. 1t is merely a new name,
not new disease"

Nobody Paid Her Enrc.

A young woman got aboard n West
Broad street car and discovered. TO her
humiliation, that her fare was missing
when the conductor called. In gruff
manner the custodian or the car said
he'd have TO get the fare at once or the
woman would have to walk. This dec
laration added to her embarrassment.
The car was crowded. On her right sat
a genial freshman and on her left a
well known bookkeeper. The book
keeper and Irshman exchanged sever
al meaning glances. The conductor was
about to pull the bell rope. The book
keeper said he'd pay the fare as the
young woman looked perfectly honest.
The conductor repeated that he'd put
the woman off. This aroused the Irish
man, who said, IF you put the woman
off, your funerarll be tomorrow" See
ing n slight nervousness on the part of
the conductor, he continued:
How many people on this car want
to attend the funeral of this conduct
orw Several answered in the affirma-
tive. The conductor grew excited and
in the alteration that followed walked
to the platform without securing the
woman's fare.-Columbus Dispatch.

METROPOLITAN PASTIME.
New York City's own and Only
Circus.

Anyone living i'm this community
who imagines that those who live in
the largest cities have any particular
advantage over them i'm the matter of
amusements may be assured that
there is one element of enjoyment
that is quite as available TO people
living in the smaller towns as to those
whose home is i'm the metropolis.
Reference is made TO the circus.
There is but one circus that exhibits
in New York City-the Adam Fore
paugh & Sells Brothers, consolidated
shows. This year they exhibited at
Madison Square Garden and then
went to Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
Boston, where they repeated the
enormous success they had made in
New York. It was the opinion Of all
the New York newspapers that this
show this year was by far the best
circus that has ever been seen i'm the
metropolis. There are countless fea-
lures in the show, all of which are eN-
hibited on tour through the country
precisely the same as they were i'm
New York
Owing to the extraordinary magni-
tude and magnilicence of these con
solidated shows, the railroads desir-
ing to give the people living along
their line an opportunity to see them
will make low excursion rates to them
when they exhibit at Ionia, Saturday,
Aug. TO-
The station and steamboat agents
everywhere will give all the neces.
sary information as to time of train
and rates of fare. The trains will
leave early enough 50 as to get the
excursions into town in time TO see
the grand free street parade, which is
undoubtedly the most superb display
of spectacular splcndors that have
ever been seen upon the streets of the
American cities.
