Bismarck's Drink.

The mixture of dark beer and cham
pagne, which was for long time Bis
marck's favorite drink, was the result
OF mistake on the part of servant
who inadvertently poured champagne
into a stone drinking cup that had al
ready been half filled with beer. The
drink tickled the palate of the great
German, and the servants error
brought him a reward. - New York

FRANCIS NACMILLEN.
He Achieved a Signal Triumph at
the Belasco Yesterday.

Francis Macmillen reused to enthusiasm
yesterday afternoon a large audience at
| the Belasco Theater by his mastery Of the
violin. Almost the perfection of technique
was shown by the young virtuoso. and he
drew from the strings the tones of fiute
or cello. at times giving almost the clear
appeal Of the human voice, and then the
deeper and more vibrant chords that
trembled under his bow. To some Of the
listeners the performance was little short
Of amazing for. though great things had
been prophesied. realization outran ex-
pectation.
The audience was disappointed because
Nine. Rosina Van Dyke of New York.
who was to have sung, failed to appear.
In her place Miss Gertrude Reuter- of
of Sunshine by Goring Thomas. and
"Elizabeth's Prayer from "Tannhaeu-
SER" Richard Hageman was the accom-
PIANIST, and a most skillful one.
Mr.. Macmillen's first number was the
concerto of Vieuxtemps. which gave OPP
portunity for the display of a wide range
Of talent, but even with this he did not
exhaust his treasury. for in his shorter
numbers he displayed a marvellous IA
cility that even his remarkable execution
in the longer composition had failed to
reveal. His second number was made up
of "a4igeunerweisen." by Sarasate; Ro-
NANCE" by Wienawski, and 'Saltellato
Caprice" by A. Randegger. jr., the Sal
tellato being given with fire that kept
the audience silent in establishment for a
moment before the applause burst forth
The third number included "Mazurka,
Zarzycki: "Minuet." by Mozart and
Witches Dance" by Paganini. the min
uet being played with alluring grace: In
response to repeated applause Mr.. Mac
millen gave Randeggers bohemian
Dance"
The last selection on the program was
Paganinfs famous Noise Fantasia for
the G string alone. This was thorough
triumph for the violinist. Applause would
not cease until the player had returned
again and again. and but few of the
audience left their seats. 1t seemed to
be the verdict that, no matter what Paga-
mini had done. none could ever have played
the fantasia better than Mr. Macmllen.
At last the violinist responded with
final encore, as a farewell, selecting
Lederer's Hungarian Dance" as fitting
bonnie bouche to a brilliant program.

has low form of malarial infection char

he has attacks of vertigo and appears to
be unable to concentrate his mind for
ANY length of time on any given subject.
Il have no hesitation in saying" the

cooperate with his attorney in arranging
his defense, nor do L believe that he will
be able to do for some time, and ii
