A BRAHMS ANECDOTE.
The Man Who Spoiled an Evening For
the Great Composer.

Among the Brahms anecdotes which
are popular in Germany this one was
contributed ny Frau Luise Pohl.
Brahms liked Baden Baden and took as
much pleasure in a winter visit to the
place as in the crowded summer time.
The residents knew this when they in
vited him in 1876 to come and direct
some of his works. After the con
cert the friends of the master assem-
bled at GOldemen Kranz by invitation
of the oberburgermeister gamer to
drink q glass of wine The session
lasted long. but gradually the company
grew smaller. Presently they had all
gone except Brahms and Cornelius
Rubner. After awhile even Brahms
suggested home, and his young com
panion eagerly agreed to adjourn the
session. On the way home Brahms
asked his companion. whose name he
had not heard, BY the way. do you
know this young director Rubner:'
Are you interested in him. he ask.
ed by way of answer.
"Certainly. Adolf Jensen thinks he
is not only great. but genial. Don't you
know him."
Il know him very well. He is an ar
rogant. conceited fellow, who can do
nothing and knows nothing"
The pleasure of the evening was
spoiled by this harsh opinion as to a
man whom Brahms had made up his
mind to like. The next morning he at
tended, with some others, a breakfast
at Jensens where he told the story.
He had hardly finished when the door
opened and Rubner walked in
That's the man who slandered your
friend" said Brahms, and when ev,
| erybody laughed he suspected what
vas told 10 him as soon as the first
| man recovered.

Rio Janeiro SIeuths Are Now
After Anarchists and Con-
spirators Who Have Fled to
Towns on the Interior.
DASTARDLY SCHEME WAS
CONCEIVED IN EUROPE.
Police Received Word That
Anarchists Had Left Euro
pean Capitals on Mission of
Destruction.

Rio Janerio. Jan. 20.-The Brazilian
police have discovered an Anarchisuc
plot here having for its object the de-
struction of part Of the American fleet
now lying in the harbOr. The con
spiracy, which centered i'll Rio Janelro
and Petropolis, has ramiflcatlons in
Sac Paulo and Minas Geras. A man
named Jane Fedhcr, who resided III
Petropolis, was the chief cOnspirator
here, although it is understood that
foreign anarchists are deeply involved
in the plot. Fedher is believed 10
have fled to Sac Paulo. and the police,
who know him, have sent to that place
for the purpose Of experimenting him.
One of the detectives, who was well
acquainted with Fedher. having served
on the police force at PetroDolis for
some time, returned from that place
yesterday, after having made investl-
cations there, and had a long confer
ence with the chief of police at Rio
Janeiro. The latter gave it out later
that the Sac Paulo police are on the
track of the arch conspirator and eX-

ton will be exercised and most rjgor-

The chief of police, after having
made this official statement. said that
he did not feel he should go into any
further details with regard TO the con
spiracy, but he authorized the state
ment that the plot was organized by
Fedher. and he added that the people

The impression which the exposure
of this plot will create here will be
profound one, because it is the frs
anarchistic conspiracy that has eve
been known in Brazil. The police o
