MUSIC CRITIC At FIGHT.
Result Of 6horthanded ness ON the Stan
Called for "Duet."

Owing to a severe condition OF short
handedness on the staff. the music ed
itor was sent to cover IA prize fight,
with the following result, says the De
trOit Free Press:
An entertainment Of unusual novelty
attra cted a large masculine audience ut
the armory last night. The chief num-
Der on the program consisted Of duet
between two we'll known artists and
the work was divided into ten short
movements. Both OF the chief artists
Of the evening were becomingly attired
I'm n novel and striking costume, CON
sisting Of something like abbreviated
bathing suits, shoes and heavy stock
ings. The first movement started about
andantnO, but went sempre accelerhn-
do to a motto vivace at the end. There
was some rapid staccato work on the
part Of each performer throughout the
movement and when a large gong rang
at the end Of short interval, both
walked to corner of the roped-ln plat
form. At the beginning there was
StTOuS tcuutHCy W
and the soft pedal was used with much
effect on both sides.
Shortly before the end Of this move
ment one Of the artists was carried
away with excitement and struck the
other, sforzando, con due pedale a
motto piu vivace. The compliment was
returned, con amore, and both subsld-
ed again as the gong rang:
At the opening Of the third move
ment the original theme was resumed
and was treated with great freedom
throughout. The straight-arm motif
was introduced. motto piacevole, and
the rendition became so fast and furl-
Gus as to hinder accurate observation.
The composition suddenly assumed the
characteristics of the unfinished sym
phony, one performer being overcome
by his emotion and failing to continue.
The applause was furious for the other
artist, who was made the recipient OF
the most frenZied demonstrations from
the audience. The composer of the I'M
finished composition Is reported to nave
been the late Marquis Of Queensberry,
little known as a musical writer.

THE GREAT MONEY LENDER.
Russell Sage, Famous Financier, az He
Really Is To-day.

Lindsay Denison writes the follow
ing description In Worlds Work Of the
great lender Of money as he appears
to-day:
The figure of Russell Sage is fading
out of the market place. Once 1t was
as certain a part Of the Wall street

the swarm of men at the door Of the
stock exchange, incoming and depart

sell Sage observed no holidays except
Sunday until his body broke down I'm
der the overreaching task set by his
cold, grim hunger for innumerable do
lars. But the pale-blue eyes. though
they are keener than the eyes Of most
men at any age, have not the quick
and eager light which used to flash into
gain in prospect or achieved. The
scanned gray face has lost its power Uf
meeting all appeals for generosity or
mercy with complete lack of express
sion; irritation and contempt show
through sometimes; they are signs of
the breaking down Of the sternest ply
steal discipline--for no real master OF
the game, whether it be played with
pennies between newsbOys on the curb
stone, or with banks and railroads In
the markets, willingly allows his face
to register any human emotion. His
garments hang about him in homely
lines, which have not changed in the
memory OF any man. His appearance

wealth, have become part of the ira.

New England Justice.

Ebenezer Smell, the grandfathe Of
the poet william Cullen Bryant. Is
described as good type Of the New
England farmer, In whose nature
Puritanism, with its stern rigors Of
conduct and conscience. was overlaid
with many Of the amenities Of Yam
kee humor. Bryant preserved several
anecdotes Of his grandfather, one Of
which. quoted by w. A. Bradley. in
his biography Of the poet, may serve
to indicate the way in which he exer-
cised his humor. and also to show
the patriarchial conception Of justice
that was held in a remote New Eng
land community at the end Of the
eighteenth century.
My grandfather. said Bryant, once
found that certain pieces Of lumber,
intended by him for the runners Of a
sled, and called in that part Of the
country sled-crooks, had been taken
without leave by farmer who lived

"FIRING" LlSKUM.


Liskum was the butt" Of the 10
cal" room of the daily on which he
worked, says the Brooklyn Eagle. He
was dried-up, wrlnkled little chap,
who might have been either 20 or 60
years of age. Whatever went wrong
about the Office was laid to Liskum,
and whatever was attributed to him
he accepted without murmur, only
smiling crinkly little smile that won
the hearts of the whole staff. For,
joke him as they might, every reporter
on the paper had tender spot for
Liskum.
One day Tompkins, the "star' re-
porter, came in to find the group about
the big stove in the local room indig-
nantly discussing something.
"Liskum had been fired" some one
told him. There was great fuss
about the third ward story in this
mornings paper"
"Why, l wrote that myself" said
Tompkins. "Llskum had nothing to
do with it." And with that he started
for the managing EDITORS room.
Mr.. Rockman sat by his fiat-topped
desk; Nskum stood opposite him.
TOmpkins slowed down in an apollo
getic way, for he remembered that he
had violated precedent by entering the
| editors room without knocking.
Come In, Tompkins," said Mr..
ROckman. You are just the man l
want to see.'
Liskum turned his crinkly smile on
Tompkins but spoke not a word.
II have just dismissed Mr.. Lskum
for that third ward story" said the
editor.
Il heard So" replied TompkIns, but
l wrote that story myself. He had
nothing to do with It,"
II know that" said the editor. THAT
is why l dismissed him. A fornid-
able delegation of third ward people
came here this morning, and made II
very plain to me that something must
be done to soothe them. l knew Vol,
were such fiery chap it would never
do to let you face them, SO / brought
Liskum In and Indignantly dismissed
him from the reportorial staff. l am
just now engaging him as assista Mt

Liskum turned another crinkly smile
on Tompkins, and the star reporter
went back to the big stove In the city
room.

from three hundred and fifty to four

a hundred feet down. If the tram had

not one of us would have escaped alive.
This memorable catastrophe-most inter

But thanks to the GOODNESS, energy and

have escaped this terrible disaster.
