Schuecker, the brother harpists of Chicago
and Boston, appeared again and again at
the Monster Music Festival.
He also had pronounced taste tor ana

great delight In the acting OF q certain
young woman In his church. a.,
Once play was to be produced IN whioh
some handsome flowers were needed as
property. With considerable diffidenoe she
called on him and told him what she had
come for.
Il shall be only too glad to send the how-
ers, was Mr.. Salisbury's reassuring answer,
particularly as 1t will remind me Of the
date so that can be there myself. And
hope you will always let me know when
you are to act
From that time on he always sent her
flowers when he knew In time OF her ap-
pearances, and always went to see them.
Strangers to whom he was pointed out
as Worcester's richest man were often
amazed at the plainness Of his dress and
speech. One reason why he had 80 much
to give away was that he spent 30 little on
himself.
His reason for leaving nothing to Clark
University was that 1t catered only TO the
culture Of chosen few. The bulk 81 his
fortune went to the Art Museum "for all the
people of Worcester"
Although Mr.. Salisbury never married
he had many affairs Of the heart. One OF
his early loves was a young woman who
came to Worcester with her mother and
sister many, many years ago. They were
charming Southern women, poor, but well
connected. and the gayety and brillianoy
they impaired to, social entertainments
opened the eyes Of the quiet New En- glanders
OF those days. And then-they left Woroes-
ter, owing everybody.
Mr.. Salisbury was then "a or rs years old.
His father opposed his proposed marriage
on the ground that il he married one daugh-
ter he would have the whole family on his
hands. The young man listened to reason
and gave up his plan Of marrying the
Southern girl.
Later he fell in love with widow. About
the time the announcement of an engage
ment was expected the widow died sud-
denly. 1t has been said that Stephen
Salisbury then forever lost his youth. At
all events he ceased to attend social enter
tainments, and seemed to settle down into
an acceptance Of bachelorhood as his future
lot. He Is said to have said that he was
afraid to marry fearing that then his money
would be the only attraction.

lancers was the Kaiser's favorte painter.
Had Albert de kossak not been Pole
he would probably still be riding about
after the Kaiser. Being a Pole, however,
he loved his country and presently there
came a time when the anti-Poish policy
inaugurated by Bismarck and for while
abandoned was again taken up and vigor-
ously prosecuted.
Then the position of the painter called
to glorify the army of country endeavor-
ing to terminate the national existence
of his own people became difficult one,
and when the Kaiser delivered his aggres-
sive speech against the Poles at Marien-
burg, De Kossak left Berlin, giving up
many exceptional advantages which he
owed to his imperial patrons favor.
He settled in Vienna, where he is now
much esteemed by the old Emperor, popu-,
lar with the army and appreciated by his
brother artists. He is a Knight of the
Order Of Francis Joseph, of the Red Eagle
of Prussia and of the French Legion Of
Honor At Munich, Vienna and Berlin
he has won gold medals, Taking all things
into consideration, Albert de Kossak is
fortunate person-for a painter Doubt
less he is not undeserving, but the same
may be said OF many other painters to
whom honors come only after they have
long been dead.

AN OLD TINE FIRE COMPANY.

Recalled by Finding a Leather Helmet
A Sack and Bucket Brigade.
HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. 16.--A fireman's
helmet, relic Of sixty years ago when
fires here we're fought by hand bucket
brigade, was unearthed here this week
in pile Of rubbish. Workmen were busy
tearing down part of the old Brewer House
when Thomas Hahn found the old leather
helmet.
The old headpiece is fairly well pre-
served except that the dragons head, which
makes the top, needs polishing. On the
front is a representation Of fire bucket
beneath which is the inscription "HyIas,
S. d B." On the back it reads "Organized

According to ex-Chief Henry J. Eaton OF
the Hartford Fire Department the helmet
belonged tc a member of the Hyl9s SACK
and Bucket Company, which was ortan,izsen
in this city on February p, 1893 JONI
ID. Russ was the foreman and the company
had forty-five members. ;,-

vista opened before his mind.
A private view last Sunday in the art
gallery of his friend Mr.. Powell revealed
to a company of visitors some of the odd
and varied compositions he has been enabled
to produce by applying these natural forms
and colors to artistic purposes.
