aid of a devoted wife, no developed INTO
a fine artist"
In dwelling upon some interesting Incl
dents OF the artists life, Mr.. Whitaker
told or n fair which was planned ana
carried on by Mr.. and Mrs. Bannister In
Boston during the War OF the Rebellion.
The fair was held for the benefit OF two
colored regiments sent out by Massachu-
setts and $4,000 was thus raised. Ihls so

and weeks they had spent together IN

aker believed. that Mr.. Bannister had
gained his knowledge Of Cloudland, which
is so notiCeably beautiful in his creations.
In closing the narrative Of Mr. Ban :
mister Mr. Whitaker considered brienY
the characteristics OF his work FIRST
his masterpiece, Under the oaks was
described as tho picture which received
the gold medal at the Centennial I'm 1876
and sold for $500 Mr.. Whitaker paused
at this point TO tell of the emotions Of
Mr.. Bannister at the time he was award

OF the changed attitude or the OFFICIALS

other pictures from the brush Of Mr..

AT the close OF Mr.. Whtaker's talk "A
poem. written i'm memory of Mr. Ban

was read by the author. The poem
follows:
IA white soul came to this earth one
day
And made it's abode in house OF clay.
IL opened its eyes OH the world so fair,
And saw the beautiful everywhere--
Nature and poetry, music and art
All were dear To it's noble heart;
And IL portrayed the first for It's fel-
bowman
As only the gifted artist can.
So il passed thro' this life, serene and
mild.
As pure i'm heart as a little child.
Till at last came the call. and this spirit
rare
Sped back 10 its God on the wings OF
prayer
After a few more words OF eulogy ex-
pressed by friends OF the departed artist
the meeting came 10 a close.

THE SHIPS cow BOOED.
II Heard the Foghorn and Mistook 1t
for Relative-The Mys-
terry Explained.

The captain of an English steamer
spun yarn the other day of the
mysterious 'Boo-o-o" which answered
his foghorn. He was steaming down
the channel, when the thick fog came
on. At such times he never leaves
the bridge. and sounds the foghorn
himself. On this occasion, after
sounding the signal, he heard a fog
horn in reply right ahead. lie turned
the ships head point to avoid col
lision, and then sounded again.
Again the reply came "Boo-o-o," right
ahead as before.
The vessels head was put back to
the same position as at first, and once
more the foghorn was sounded. Still
the reply came, as before, right
ahead, "Boo-o-o."
1T was very strange; / could not
make it out" said the captain. tell
ing the yarn. II tried again: still
the same 'Boo-o-o' right ahead. A
feeling of superstition began to creep
over me, and | was giving myself a
mental shake to pull myself together,
when the lookout man forward called
out: It's the old coo, sir And so

MUSIC AND DRAMA
RIP VAV WINKI,E.

A few remarks concerning Thomas
Jefferson, who appears at the Grand
Opera House this afternoon and evening.
Theatre folks, of course, know all about
him butthe general public have only a
hazy idea that Mr.. jefferson has any
children. True they have read of q. B
Jefferson, who was formerly associa ed
with klaw x Erlanger, and that he is q
good business man, and that there are
other sone, grandsons and nephews OF
tine Venerahie comedian who Travelled
with him, but the information is meagre
and contradictory.
Thomas is the one who acts, and he
always has time for smile and chat.
he realizes the value OF his fathers cre-
alton OF rip" and he is not going to
let IT get out OF the family il he can avoid
1t. When he found that he had to play
the part of rip" illness having com
PEELED his father to retire for short inter-
walls, he was in Llue funk. II it had
been suggested to him to run away he
would have possibly done IL. lie was
terribly scared. There is great deal at
stake in his work and he has been very
successful.
His father said to him about p'aving
the part: "Tom, act it as nearly like do
as you can, but il ,or find line or bit
OF business that you can't copy me in
with ease, do il your own way, My way
may be better or worse, but the best way
for man to act is the way that his
inner consciousness dictates" In a let
ter to his son, Tom, the wise old coined
ian says: Remember, ability and early
success are Of but little use without hon.
est, earnest and conscientious endeavor.
Actors who aerely play for their own
amusement, regardless of the public
duty, have but short reign" So it
would appear that Mr.. Joseph Jefferson
has a pretty clear idea of the duties an
actor owes to the public as vel as ia
himself.

OSTRACISED FOR HUMANITY.
Prince AIphonse, of Bavaria, Given
the "Blue Letter. for Being
Too Gentle.

As penalty for being too humane
Prince Alphonse, the nephew of the
regent of Bavaria, has been given
the "Blue Letter" In American slang
vernacular this might be interpreted
to mean that he will hereafter re
ceive the marble heart" in select
official circles. The "Blue Letter"
means official degradation. He is, it
seems, too humane for his uncle and
the military commanders, and he has
been called upon to suffer for his hui
manity.
He was asked to resign from the
Bavarian army for no other reason
than that he was too gentle and easy
going with those under his command.
He is not severe enough to please
the military, and the mistake he made
was to manifest too much considera-
ton FOR the horses under his charge.
1t was during the last maneuvers.
On reaching Il steep and stony de-
scent, Prince llphonse ordered the
men 10 dismonnt, SO rhat the horses
might be spared. 1t is said that the
order completely upset the plan of
action. Popular feeling is intense
against the authorities who have
brought about the princes dismissal,
for he has always been popular with
the subjects of his uncle. 1t is be-
lieved to be the first time Ravarian
prince has received the "Blue Letter"

TO PREVENT HAILSTORMS.
Acety1ene Gun Is Used for This Pur-
pose in the Wine-Growing Dis
tricts of France.

Additional interest will be centered
upon the acetylene gas display at the
Pan-American exposition because of
he fact that in France an acetylene
cannon is used by the winegrowers to
prevent halstorms.
The explosive agent used in the gun
is mixture of aeetylene and air, and
it is fired by an electric ienter. The
use of acetylene in the gun is designed
10 obyiate the necessity of keeping a
supply of explosive material on hand
for charging the gun.
The cannon is connected with an
ncetylene generator, and is thus al
ways ready for use.
1t is stated that 65 pounds of car
hide serves for about 900 charges, and
will last six months.
The valve between the explosive
chamber and the acetylene generator
is controlled electrically. and the op-
Grafton of the gun consists in closing
the gas-valve circuit for few seconds
then opening it and closing the igniter
circuit to fire the charge.
| 1t is said that battery of guns may
be installed, covering large area, and
be fred simultaneously from one sta
ton by Il single operator.
In sections of the United States
where halstorms do great damage
a similar acetylene gun might be made
| to do good service
