Exactly.

A Flemish gentleman conceived
the idea that he would live only a
certain time, so he made nice cal
culation of his fortune, which he so
apportioned as to last just the same
period as he guessed his life would
extend to. Strangely enough, his
calculations came correct to the let
ter, for he died punctually at the
time he had previously reckoned.
He had so far exhausted his estate
that after his debts had been dis
charged a solitary pair of slippers
represented the entire property he
left. His relatives buried him, and
a representation of the slippers was
carved on the tomb. Today in a
churchyard at Amsterdam his grave
may be seen. the only inscription
on the stone being two Flemish
words, 'Effen Nyt" Il. e., Exact

STORY IN FIVE WORDS.
n Told Of the Massacre Of Genera,
Clusters Command.

ONSteT 5 OomnanO.
Probably the most startling piece
Of news that was ever sent out into
The world was the announcement Of
The massacre Of General Custer and
his command in 1876. The terrible
news was so unexpected that it came
like a bolt from a clear sky. II
brought a feeling of sickening nor
ror to the heart of every man who
read it or heard it on the street. 1t
passed from lip to lip as it became
known in the west and the east.
There were friends and relatives of
the murdered men in all parts of
the nation, and the gallant com
mander was himself national hero.
For two days the nation waited
breathlessly for information regard
ing the disaster additional to the
brief general announcement of the
calamity that had been sent out as
soon as the news was known in Bis
marck, N. D., which was then the
extreme northwestern Office of the
telegraph company. That first mes
sage was a brief one; but, after all,
it told the whole story.
That message was a bit Of "wire
talk" sent from Bismarck to Fargo
en- the morning of July 5, 1876, and
it said, "All the Clusters are killed"
The message was sent by j. NJ. Car
nahan, manager of the Western
Union office in Missoula, and it was
thus that the news was first sent
eastward. From Fargo it was re-
peated to st. Paul, and st. Paul
sent it, in turn, to Chicago, and
from there it was passed along to
cities, towns and hamlets, telling its
brief but terrible story tersely, but
completely.
There was but a single wire east
from Bismarck in those days, and
government business had the first
call upon this; consequently Oper-
ator Carnahan had only time to
flash forward this brief message of
general information before he was
compelled to begin the transmission
of the official report of General
Terry to the war department. For
twenty-four hours he sat at his key
clicking off this mass of official cor
respondence.
All this time the eastern papers
were clamoring for news, but it
could not be given to them. So per-
sistent were these demands for news
that Mr.. Carnahan obtained the
permission of Colonel Smith, the
member of Terry's staff who had
brought in the official dispatches,
to make up short Special from
the information contained in the re-
ports of the officers. This special
was sent to the New York Herald
and is believed to be the first au-
thentic news of the Big Horn mas
sacre that was sent out, aside from
The official dispatches.-Cincinnati

NlcoLo PAGAaINI.
q Short Biography Of The Worlds
Greatest Niolinist.

| GreateSt NloiHiSts
Among those remarkably gifted
souls who have left the echo of their
music for the Joy of succeeding gen.
srations Paganini, who was born at
Genoa, Italy, on Feb. 10, 1884, and
who died at Nice on May 27, 1S40,
holds foremost place in history.
His father in his early ambition
for his child, in whom he found the
sublime musical gift, was almost
cruel in his demands for study.
While Nicolo had the best violin
teachers to be found in Italy, his
skill was due to his own genius. One
by one these teachers acknowledged
they could teach him nothing, and
the boy worked out his own meth
DDS.
At nine years he wrote a sonata
and at a concert made the audience
fairly wild with enthusiasm over his
playing. At thirteen he started on
his first professional tour and in the
following four years was pretty
nearly ruined. Money poured into
his hands, and he learned to gam
bic. When he was seventeen there
came a day when he had lost every
thing but his Stradivarius violin
and 3 francs. He played with the
francs and won a hundred. Then Ee
decided never again to gamble, and
be kept his word.
This life of constant excitement
and excess had ruined his health
and nerves. A wealthy titled wom-
an took him into her favor and kept
him for three years on an estate she
had in Tuscany. She would not al
low him to play the violin, for she
better enjoyed the guitar.
In the quiet, simple life Of the
country Paganini grew strong and
well, and when he was twenty he
went back to Genoa and began his
real musical life. The next year he
made his second professional tour,
and this ended in his being made di-
rector of music at the court of the
Princess Eliza Bacciochi, sister of
Napoleon Bonaparte, at Lucca.
In person Paganini was peculiar.
He was exceedingly thin and had a
strange, awkward walk. His face
was long, his eyes deep and dark,
and he wore his hair long, almost to
his shoulders.
He was thirty when he left the
Tuscan court, and from that time
he kept free from all such obliga-
tions. He played when and where
he had fancy to appear, and all
Europe was at his feet.
He loved Italy, and when his du-
ties took him to Germany, France
and England he made bitter com
plants in regard to climate and
methods of living. In Italy any
accommodation suited him. His
health began TO fall seriously after
he was thirty, and after brilliant
success in all the great cities he re-
turned to Italy and spent some
years in the enjoyment of several
estates he had bought, for he was
now very rich.
In the municipal building at
Genoa is carefully preserved Paga-
minis violin. He left it to the city,
and no other artist was to be allowed
to play Spon it. The great artist is
buried in the village church near
the place of residence he loved best
the Villa Gajona. Boston Globe.

Chicago, July S.-Only the authoritative figures Of the government had any weight today with spectators in wheat Crop lamtous than at any previous time. but the trade had become so callous that an estimate of 25 per cent for the North Dakota crop seemed no cause for agita- ton.

COTTON ADVANCES

OFFERINGS ARE LIGHT

New York. July S.-There was a fur ther improvement in the cotton market today with the close firm with a, net gain of to 1s points on covering, trade buying and bull support encouraged by the bullish character of private crop accounts and the strong weekend statis- tics.
 The market opened steady at decline of to 6 points under scattered realiz- ing and local selling. due to indifferent cables, reports of rain In parts of Texas. The offerings were not in the least ag- gressve, however, and right after the call the market received good support from the bull leaders. When shorts found that the improved conditions in Texas were not bringing any long cotton of consequence they turned for cover and inside of the first hour the old crop was about to points up and the new also 3 to points net higher.
 At this level there was less support from (the leading bulls and the market eased off under realizing to about the closing prices of last night There was no weakening of the undertone. however,

The old crop was comparatively neg lected on the late advance, but the last few minutes July sold up quite sharply on demand for only few hundred bales. Business was very quiet during the middle of the day, but became more active on the advance in the late after noon, when buying was quite general on the prospects for a carry-over of less than 5o0.0oO bales into the next sea son and the bullish private new cror reports from the eastern belt
 The into-sight movement Is falling of to very small figures and local statisti. clans are figuring that the commercial crop may not exceed 1O3OO,0oo bales, 1O.- 12s.0O0 bales having been brought into sight so far for the season, according to the New York cotton exchange fig ures with only seven weeks remaining to be heard from.
