Story Of How Beethoven Created His
Wonderful Sonata.
Beethoyen,s famous composition, the
ooniight Sonata Is said to have
been composed under the following cir
cumstance ss1s
One evening as Beethoven and d
friend were hurrying through the
streets Of Bonn they heard the farnil-
lar notes Of the Sonata In f. Some
thing In the musicians touch attracted
the attention Of Beethoven, and he
stopped and listened. Suddenly the,
music stopped, and the despairing
words OF the musician came to them
through the open window, "Oh, if I
could but hear some really good mu-
sician play this wonderful piece!' and
j the words ended In a sob.
Let us go in, . said Beethoven. They
entered and found the player a young
girl, poor and blind. Beethoven sat
down at the old harpsichord and play
ed as he had never played before His
listeners were spellbound. Tell u.s.

Sonata In f., 1T is Beethoven
they exclaimed in awe and admiration.
Suddenly the candle fickered and
went out. Beethoven ceased playing
and bowed bis head upon his hand.
His friend threw open the shutters. "a
flood Of beautiful moonlight entered
the room. It's transfgring light touch

PEOPL THROWN
OUT OF THEIR BEDS
BY BIG EXPLOSION

a{f3
Chicago, Sept. An explosion IN
the store Of Stanley r. Graham, q
dealer iii paints and wall paper, 4 40
North State. street, early today
wrecked the building and threw cut
of bed several persons asleep on the
second floor, but injured none. The
5detonation was heard nearly mile
away and the guests in the Virginia
hotel, near by, were awakened and
were much excited.
The explosion is believed to have
been gnnpowder and is attributed to
dynamiters, who, the police believe
are trying to ayenge themselves on
Chicago gamblers, but why Graham
should have been selected the police
don't understand.

Accidental Success.

publishers would have none Of John

printed 100 copies at his own ex-=

Only forty Of these copies sold, one
purchaser being photo pher. The
photographer took Mr.. Gladstone's
picture some weeks later, and the old
man chose q studious pose, sitting with
a volume In his hand. He bent In
absorption over the work, which hap
pened accidentally to be John Ingle-
SAINT and In the thousands of copies
of the photograph that were sold by
accident the books name was plainly
to be made out. &,
Mr.. Gladstone was regarded as u
great critic. and the people thought he
desired to recommend John Ingle-

the year 3oo, 900 copies Of John In

why Elephants Fear Mice.

1T seems incredible that SO small and
harmless an animal as mouse Is able
to brighten an elephant almost out of
his senses. One little mouse In the
hay on which they are feeding will
stampede an entire herd. In their ma
tive land there are little animals,
known as chacanas, which feed on a
small, sour berry Of which elephants
are very fond. They live In settle
ments, something after the manner of
prairie dogs. under the berry bushes
When feeding, the elephants trample
the little towns, and the ehacanas, In
their fright, run up the tubes Of the
elephants trunks. Their long, sharp
claws catch in the flesh, and they cam
not be elected. The more violently the
monster blows through its coiled trunk
the more firmly the hooked claws Of
the little animal become Embedded in
the flesh Inflammation and death are
the result. In captivity the elephants
think they are In danger of the deadly
chacanas when they see mouse.

Plane Sailing.
All plain sailing. This term Is So
spelled even In nautical works Of some
1 age, but plane sailing Jig the correct
form. Before Mereafor invented the
sea chart which goes by his name all
charts were on a plane projection. In
using these the ships course was treat
ed as an angle and the distance, diff:
ference OF latitude and departure as
the sides Of q right angled triangle
There were very large errors IN plane
charts. yet all the world was charted

BLACK HAND MAKES
ITS THREAT GOOD.

New York, July 16.-Little Italy Of
this city was the scene this morning
of terrific explosion. People to the
number of ten thousand had been cele-
brating the feat of our Lady OF Mount
Carmel when suddenly the building
occupied as grocery store OF Marco
Latadube exploded and there was a
wild panic. The store was destroyed
and 1t was at first reported that many
had been killed, but this proved un-
true. II seems Latadube had received
many threatening letters from the
Black Hand threatening to blow him
and his store into eternity If he did
not send them a large sum. He paid
no attention to the letters and the
society carried out the threat. The
police say today that onlg half dozen
persons were badly hurt and no ia.
talities. The property loss. however,
is considerable.

she was transferred to the mines

out the plain and direct method by
which Il. II. Hartman. railroad mag
nate, can be placed in prison for
merging the Union and Central Pa
cific railroads. The act OF 1874 is
pointed out as a proper statute under
which Hartman can be criminally
reached. The working OF the law
quoted, and decision OF the United
States supreme court are given as a
precedent. There Is no recommenda
lion made that the prosecution be In

SIX KILLED IN COLLISION.

Johnson. City, Tenn. July 15.-Six
persons met instant death and twenty
were injured when an east bound ves-
tibule train on the Southern railway
collided with a switch engine here
last night. hTe engine OF the pas
senger, baggage car and mail car and
second class coach were derailed and
overturned. but the switch engine was
not lifted from the rails, and with a
full head OF steam started on wild
run which was not ended until a
switch was thrown and IL was ditch
ed at Carnegie. The lives OF the mail
clerks were saved because of the fact
that their car was of heavy steel con-
struction. This heavy car played hav-
oc with the light second class coach
behind, which was entirely telescoped.
The coach was occupied by George
Moore. white, labor agent for the Vir-
ginia and Southwestern railroad who
was conducting party of twenty-nine
negroes from Alabama to North Car
olina. Moore was fatally hurt. OF
the negroes, six were killed outright
and all the others MANNED.
