WEIRD GUEST CHAMBER.

From the window of the rather weird
guest chamber in the tower ofthe mon
astery he sees the ruins of dismantled
castle belonging to the Polish Count
Starshenski, who founded and endowed
the monastery with all his wealth. Fa-
tigued by his journey, the knight falls
asleep in his chair and dreams. His
dream is given in the ensuing six
scenes of the play, which follow one
another without any intermission. He
sees the Count Starshenski as he once
lived in the world, rich and happy in
the possession of his beautiful wife,
Elga, and their child. But the dream
shows how the wife deceived her hus-
band and how the nobleman murdered
first the lover and then the woman, and
finally renounced the world. In the last
scene of the play we again have the
guest chamber in the monastery, with
the German knight awakening. He calls
his servant and they resume their jour-
ney after having been served by the
humble brother, who is, of course.
Count Starshenski.
The German critics are almost unan-
imously of the opinion that this new
play of Hauptmanns Is a permanent
addition to the German stage.
All Paris is talking of the striking
opera which Alfred Bruneau has made
out of Emile Zola's Infant King" This
young French composer really has per-
formed "a remarkable feat for his work
just misses being great despite the fact
that the author worked with the most
unpromising material, so far as musical
ends are concerned; for ZoIa's book"
is not only written in prose. but is alb
solutely characteristic of its author-a
sordid little tale of a Partisan bakery
Yet Bruneau's score is full of vitality
and of fresh, fine colors. The orchestra
tion too, is generally described as
wonder Of real richness.

The Irish reformer, Father Mathew,
used to tell Of a remarkable visit made
to HIS grandfather by Dean Swift. MI.
Mathew lived near Dublin and invited
the eccentric dean to dine and spend
the night at his house. A large party
Of the neighboring gentry were hidden
to meet him.
The dean drove up to the house and,
summoning the butler, asked the names
of the guests.
TEL your MASTER" he shouted, II
will meet no such people," and drove
away in n fury. Before he reached the
lodge gates. however, he changed his
mind, returned, alighted and demand
ell to be shown to his room.
When his host came to him Swift
said, Il am willing 10 accept your hos
pitality, but | will not meet your
guests"
He was told that his meals should
be served In his room, as IL he were
ut home. He remained thus isolated
for two days, then came down In high
good humor, joined the party and ex-
tended his visit for four months.

Informed by the postmaster that a
Pole. NJ. Wibeski, living near. had
lately ordered a most convenient trav-

his newly married daughter.
At first the Pole refused the most
pressing offers for its purchase, but
when he learned that the carriage was
required for the emperor's use he not
only yielded. but asked as Its price
that he might be presented to the I'M
peror, Napoleon complied; but, unwili-
ing to accept the carriage as a gift, he
gave orders that 1000 ducats $4,000
should be handed to the owner
