ROMANCE OF KUBELIK
Celebrated Hungarian Violinist to
Wed Beautiful Country Woman.
During His Tour Of World He Has
Many Proposals, Hut He Remains
True to His Love for Countess
Won CEaky-SzelL

The news that Kubelik is engaged
TO wed Countess Marianne Won Csaky-
Sell pronounced Chakky-ShelD Is
the sensation in Hungarian social cir
Giles. She is 90 years of age, while
Kubelik is a year oder. She is the
daughter OF Wolfgang Won Sell Bes-
senyei, who was president OF the SEN
ate at Debrecin, in Hungary, and at
the age of IS was married to Hunga-
rian count. But her married life last
ed few weeks only, and soon after
wards she secured a divorce.
The youthful violinist had but re-
Gently leaped to fame. 1t was not
pearance and scored an immediate
triumph In Vienna. And it was the
first time he played at Debrecin that
he made the beautiful young countess
acquaintance.
1t was case Of love at first sight,
for Herr Kubelik has confessed that
when he saw her he knew he had
found his ideal" But, determined
not to be led away by the impulse Of
a moment, he delayed his proposal
for three years In England and Amer
lea he had many offers of marriage,
but he took no notice of them, and al
ways hid himself when pursued by
admirers. Friendly correspondence
passed between him and the countess
during the three years. and Herr Kube-
~ hot hay /
spheres heaped upon him, returned to
his native land to lay them at the feet
of his ideal"
On February ~ he gave q concert
in Vienna. The house was crowded,
and everyone noticed in one of the
boxes charming young woman with
brown hair and brown eyes. She d.
vided with Kubelik himself the after
uons OF the audience so exquisite was
her beauty. But none present, save
Kubelik-not even his foster mother
had any idea that she was at that
moment the betrothed Of the young
musician whose playing delighted the
house. Shortly before the concert
Kubelik had declared his love and had
been accepted.
In addition to being one of the most
lovely women of her country the Dung
countess Is possessed of SO much
wealth that Kubelik need never again
play after he has married her; but
he Is quite content on continuing his
professional career and will not be
married for at least another year. Be
ing knight Of St. Gregory, he will
have to get the pope's consent.

PHONETIC ALPHABET.
Mr.. Carnegie Backs the Movement
for Reform in the Language.
Ready to Give $4,000 to Promi n emit
Educators Who Are Pushing the
. Effort to Simplify tho SPELL
ing Of English Words.

Andrew Carnegie has come to the
relief of 'the English language as
she is spoken" He has pledged his
financial support to movement
which will bring about reform and
correct abuses in the speaking and
writing of English. This is in pur-
suance of a desire of Mr.. Carnegie
to have English the principal Ian
guage of the world. The first step
will be in the direction of reform
and simplicity. The members of the
various pathological societies which
have been laboring for phonetic spell
ing and the creation of pronuncia-
ton alphabet aroused Mr.. Carne-
pie's interest in the matter, and he
will finance the undertaking until its
completion to the extent OF $4,000
q year.
A meeting of educators, presided
over by Mr.. Dewey, of Albany, was
held at Columbia university in New
York city on Saturday, February 81.
This committee discussed the matter
thoroughly, but so far as can be
learned no definite action was decid-
ed upon.
w. T. Harris, United tates commits
sioner of education, who was invited
to attend the meeting in New York,
has been made aware of what trans
pired and the present status of the
movement. He said tonight:
1.-THE need of a pronouncing alpha
bet for the use Of the English Ian
guage has long been felt. The
movement has been fostered by the
many pathological societies, and when
the matter was brought to the at
tention of Mr.. Carnegie he consented
to furnish the necessary money II
the project was handled by respon-
sible men.
"Take the word though 1t is ar
gued that there should be sign for
TIL and the word would then be
spelled by using the sign determined
upon for the first two letters and
the letter o. For instance, the Eng
fish pronunciation Of the word post
is 'poust' That is the way it Is pro-
nounced in England. We pronounce
It post The accent on the vowel
Is almost lost. That is due to the
school marms' of our land, who for
the last 100 years have been telling
John when he came to the word
post and was inclined to drawl over
the % to bury up and not drag it
out.
There are other great reforms in
English that there is a desire to
correct, but they are all overshad-
owed by the move for the alphabet.
"Mr Carnegie's move is simply
plan to see what can be done along
this line ] mad no idea that the mat
ter was to be made public until all
arrangements had been completed"

SLANG IN THE MAKING.
Many of the Up-to-Dats Phrases Can
not be Traced to Their
Origin.

The study Of slang In the making
has always been hampered by the fact
that no investigator ever sees the in
ventor at his work. In some college
students room, behind the screens OF
a drinking hall, or among the rousta-
bouts Of the levee the words and high
ly colored phrases taken up by the
world so readily have probably first
been altered Where lived the man
who coined word "chump?" asks the
New York Evening Post. Who first
thought of saying to his rival: go
way back and sit DOWN." No one
seems to know, and the inquirer has
to be contented with inferior speci-
mems for study. One of these has
just come to light in Chicago. 1t 10
no: one Of the elusive sort, full OF
fancy and inspiring suggestions. But
It has the merit of having been de-
signed, as it were, before our eyes,
like the wheat cakes which the white
capped cook makes In the window of
q dainty restaurant, It is the word
"seg," which Is applied TO the young
women now attending the University
of Chicago. Since coeducation has
been abolished II is obviously mac
curate to call them goods. At the same
time. the west does not take up the
less complimentary terms which the
young men In some eastern colleges
apply to their feminine fellow stu
dents. The new word is certainly as
euphonious as the old (more so, if any
thing, because it has no hiatus), it is
highly descriptive and not in the least
uncomplimentary.

The following is Gunnison boys es-
say on the duck:
"The duck is a low, heavy-s set bird,
composed mostly of meat and feathers.
lie is mighty poor singer, having a
hoarse voice caused by his getting so
many frogs in his neck. He likes the
water aud carries toy balloon in his
stomach, which fills with air on going
in swimming over his head, to keep
from sinking lie can't quack loud |,
and can't sing little bit. Some doctors
are called quacks because they are such
cheap ducks. The duck has only two
legs, and they are set so far back on his
running gear by nature that she came
pretty near missing his body. A quack
doctor has only two legs, but they are
fastened on his body low down. His
bill is not 70 broad as ducks, but a
heap longer and harder to pay. Some
ducks when they get big have cuTls on
their tails and are called brakes. They
don't have to set nor hatch, but jusl
loaf, go in swimming and eat. II wni
going to be o duck I'd rather be 4

depreciation OF the aria aud the dramatic
strength she put into her singing of IT,.
She has n large vote and always gives
the impression that she has some in re-
serve. "Oh, Don Fa,nls," by Verdi,
she sang beautifully, and with Home,
Sweet Home" she brought tears to the
eyes Of many.
Oscar kirkham has a mellow tenor
without the mealy tones so common in
mellow voice. His is a voice the ma =
inee girls could rave over, for while il il
strong, II is velvciy aud we'll adapted TO
the sentimental songs. Come Into the
