The following anecdote of Wagner is
told by Alfred Reisenauer, the pianist,
who, az a pupil Of List, knew the
composer Of "ParsifaF' personally.
wagner was always more or less
self conscious" says Reisenauer, land
only at rare intervals did bis friends
see him in moods that cOnld be called
9nything but premedftated. In Bal
Feuth saw him in highly character
istic situation, and l never shall for
get it. 1t was at a rehearsal of Par
sifaL' The garden scene had 1Est been
admirably sung and danced, where
upon Wagner, In his exUberant Joy,
Rugged and kissed the artists, and
then, quite beside himself, got down on
all fOurs and barked like a dog, con-
Guiding lis exhibition by throwing his
legs in the air and balancing himself
IN his head,
AT this interesting moment Liszt
and several Of his pupils, including
myself, walked on the stage. Quick aa

role Of Wagner's self constituted de-
fender, said grimly, We'll, if that's
pose, It's the hardest One9in the world

the meister we tried to- restrain OuT
mirth, but the effort was not wholly
successful firmly believe, hOweveIsI
that Wagner himself was secretiEt

was responsible."-Harper's Weekly. !

LAST NIGHTS PLAY.

With "a Midnight Marriage" as an
opening number. the Peruchi-Gypzene
Company opened a weeks engage.
ment at the Pensacola opera house
last night. The house was literally
packed and that too, by a crowd which
seemed to thoroughly enjoy the efforts
OF the talented company.
Every member Of the cast made a
nit with his or her part, and although
the play had been seen here before
a number Of times it is safe to say
that it was never better played in
Pensacola.
The company's specialties are all
clever, and there are lots of them. The
Dill for tonight will be IN the Devils

To-Day Was the Jewish New Year
"A Day Of Atonement and To-

This is the day of atonement, called
by the Jews "Yom Kippur." They
believe that the supreme being during
the first nine days Of this period ex.
amines the actions Of mankind and
that on the tenth day he pronounces
sentence. On this day the Jew believes
that by total abstinence from both
food and drink his name viii be en-
rolled on 1.-THE Book Of Life'i and
erased from 1.-THE Book Of Death -

the high priest was permitted to en-

THAT MUNICIPAL A Il

Save 100000.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 2s-Once
more the managers Of the Columbus
Municipal Electric Light plant have
come to the front with a demand fol
more money. This time $40, 900 Ii
asked for, but the Council has not had
the temerlty to act upon the matter.
Within a few years the investment
in the Columbus municipal plant has
grown from $4,000 to half a million,
and still the promoters of the deal
have not money enough to give the
service they promised.
When 100000 was put into the en-
terprise only a short time ago, 1t was
promised that the plant would be the
hnest 10 the country; but instead of
that, Director Of Public Service Lind
says, If the money be not forthcoming
Immediately the plant will be put out
Of business and $4,000 actually
thrown away.

A Change of Heart.


The Mexico ball team came to No.
berry yesterday and won the game
from the Moberly Signals by a score Of
8 to !, took back q big wad Of Mob.
erly money and then laughed at us.
BY the game they put up yesterday
and on their appearance here before
Mexico has demonstrated to our sat
isfaction that they have a team this
year that will give Moberly a run for
the money six days out Of seven and
win make the colts fight to the last
ditch TO defeat them. We are glad
that Mexico is as strong as she is for
1t insures the fans some exciting
games next year with Mexico as well
as Chillicothe.
The above is clipped from Mondays
Moberly Monitor. 1t shows a COM
plete change Of heart as regards
the ability Of Mexlcois ball team, as
not long since the sheet denied that
We were even in Moberly's class. Give
US another game and we will show
Moberly that the two teams are still
In the different glasses, as Mexico
certainly outranks her rival now. We
m ust surely have a pretty good team
in Mexico when Moberly will make
such a concession as appears above.
She never has q good word for anybody
except her betters. She's always
''agin" the under dog and slugs a fel-
Low when he's down. That's the
Moberly way.
Also with the last two victories OF
Mexico oser Moberly, the Centralia
Courier will have to find some other
mark for its cOntemptious slugs and
petty hatred Of jealousy and enyey
bred.
