furter Zetung'' to-day. The letter, which
not intended for present publication. is in part
follows
The Rumanian atrocities are simply monstrous
and startle the civilized world. l have just
ceiVed the ''Rumanian Bulletin" No document
equals II in cruelty since the series of laws with
which Louis XIV prosecuted the Huguenots
But even these, which have hitherto been
garded as the acme Of cruelty, are exceeded by
those in the Bulletin" l cannot believe that
right thinking Rumanians or the civilized pow
ers can allow this condition of things to
tnue. 1t appears to be open defiance of law,
justice and common decency.
Mr. White will present his letters OF recall to
Emperor William on Thursday at noon. and
afterward, with his wife, will take luncheon
with the Emperor and Empress

According to the Investigations of q
Etenchman the credit Of inventing the
conductors baton belongs to Lully, the
composer, who eventually had cause to
regret his invention. Before he adopted
the baton conductors were in the habit
Of pounding on the door with their
feet or clapping their hands to mark
the time. Lully found 1t wearisome to
keep his foot constantly in motion and
20 usAd a stick to strike the floor and
beat time. He used pole six feet
long. One day he brought down the
pole with such force that it struck his
foot and made deep wound. He paid
no attention to the matter. The wound
grew worse and ultimately caused his
death.
After his time conductors tried more
and more to improve the baton. and it
was ultimately brought to its present
form.

Once, having found the pitch Of the
piano too high, she said after the re-

too high. Will you see that it is made
lower before the concerto"
When the evening came. Catalani
was annoyed to find that the piano had
not been altered. Her husband sent for
the carpenter, who declared that he
had sawed off two inches from each
leg, as he had been ordered to do.
"Surely it can't be too high now, my
dear" said the stupid husband sooth-
ingly.
