Tells joke on Rubinstein.

During his last tour in this country
Josef Holman, the distinguished
young pianist, related many interest
ing anecdotes concerning his late mas
ter, the great Anton Rubinstein. The
following, which was one of them, is
well worth repeating: At one time
when Rubinstein was producing one of
his earlier works he promised the mu
sicians a supper after the first perform
ance If the opera we're a success. The
eventful night arrived, and when the
opera was finished Rubinstein went
home Disguised, for he thought the op-
era a failure. Not SO with the over
thoughtful musicians. About l in the
morning the master was awakened
from his slumbers by violent pounding
and unusual noises outside his door.
He called on his disturbers to desist,
but they only knocked the louder. AT
last Rubinstein arose, and, going to the
door, asked what was wanted Of him,
when one of the party answered: I'VE
are the musicians from the opera, and
you promised us supper if your opera
was a success" But it wasn't sue
cess" replied Rubinstein. "Oh, yes,
it was; we liked it very much"

Miss Georgia Cayvau.

Thousands of theater-goers in all
parts of the country have regretted the
loss the stage suffered when failing
health compelled the retirement of this
popular actress. Miss Cayvan is New
Highlander, the town OF Bath, Maine
being her birthplace. She graduated
with honors at the Boston School of
Oratory, and began her public career
as a reader. Mr.. A. NJ. Palmer, then
probably the foremost theatrical man
ager in America, induced her to give
up this for the stage proper, and under
his management she became one of the
permanent leading ladies in America
Afterward she played under the man
agement of Daniel F'rohman.
In both emotional and comedy parts
Miss Cayvan was a perfect mistress of
her art. A starring tour which she
undertook after leaving Mr.. Frohman
was unfortunate, and soon afterward
her health failing, she was compelled

Out Of the several columns Of stuff
that the heavy weights have thrown
At each other within the past ten days
there is only one thing that seems
to b positive. FERRIES ts willing 70
tight to defend his title ana Sharkey

sitaon.o What Fitxsimmons may or
may not do Is ali = matter OF guess
work. The public probably would be
better satisfied IL match were made
between the champion and the Cor
nishman. There are still many who
believe that, in spite Of his age. F1tz
could put UP q great fight. But the
chances Of such a match appear to be
doubtful
Within the past week it has been
settled that Sharkey and Jeffries are
to come together in San Francisco
some time in March or April. The
match is indefinite and doubtful. The
sailor may not be acceptable to the
California patrons Of boxing, and II
much objection is raised it is likely
that the bout will either have to be
fought elsewhere or declared off alto
gether. At the present writing, how
ever, it appears that, if there is
championship bout, 1t Will nave 10 pe
fought in San Francisco, and that it
will be between Jeffries and Sharkey.
It has been agreed that, should
Fttzsimmons decide to fight, Sharkey
is to step aside in favor of the Cor
niShman.
In the meantime it is decided that
Terry McGovern and Dave Sullivan
shall settle their argument on the
coast. At the present time San Fran
cisco seems to be the best and only
good place for pulling Off big bouts.
The only other place is at Hartford,
and it is doubtful whether q big
match could be given there. With
Denver closed, California is about
the only good fighting ground in the
country, although there was no lack
of bids for the Jeffries-Sharkey bout
from Canada, Louisville, St Louis and
other places.

Ordering of the Engines Always n
Matter OF Politics.
1t is widely known that since Nico-

railroad built along that line, Amer
lean locomotives have run over all the
Russian and Siberian railroads-on
Pennsylvania rails, too, laid on Ore
there are not SO many of these loco
motives as there light have been.
Some dozen years ago the agent of an
American firm made a bid in St. Pc
tersburg on over fifty locomotives.
This was the brief history of the bid:
"By the directors, officers and engin-
GERS of the railroad, recommended:
but the minister of ways and commu-
nications, Endorsed by the financial
committee of the cabinet, rejected with
this comment: American locomotives

Austrian alliance in a quarrel with
Germany. The next order went to
Germany, the quarrel had been
patched up. Later the program was
repeated, but as Russia was trying now
to induce France to be a joint guaran-
tor of a Chinese loan, the final blue
pencil comment of the committee read:

When You Are Ready-Go.

Not all have learned the fine art of
leave-taking in an appropriate man
ner. When you are about to depart, do
SO at once, gracefully and politely,
with no da1Iying. Don't say, Its
about time was going" and then set
tie back and talk aimlessly for another
ten minutes. Some people have just
such tiresome habit. They will even
rise and stand about the room in va
rious attitudes, keeping their hosts
also standing, and then, by an effort,
succeed in getting as far as the hall,
when a new thought strikes them.
They brighten up visibly and stand
for some minutes longer, saying moth
ing of Importance, but keeping every
one in a restless, nervous state. After
the door is opened the prolonged leave
taking begins, and everybody in gen.
eral and in particular is invited to call.
Very likely last thought strikes the
departed visitor, which his friend
must risk a cold to hear to the end.
What a relief when the door is finally
closedl There is no need of being Of
fensively abrupt, but when you are
ready to-go.-Leslie's Weekly.

The Most Poetic Sove.etpp.

The most poetic sovereign in the
world is probably the emperor of ia
pan. His love of poetry, it is asserted,
increases with years. The Japan Mail
says that scarcely an evening passes
that his majesty does not compose
from twenty-seven to thirty of the 81
syllable couplets called 'Waka.' These
are handed to Baron Takasal1i for ex-
animation. Baron Takasaki has held
his present position since 1892, and he
declares that the number Of couplets
composed by his majesty from that
time up to the end of last March was
$1,000. The empress also is very
fond of writing verses, but her majes-
TVS pen is not SO prolific as that of the
emperor. She composes about two
couplets twice q week.
