WORLD ALMOST LOST GENIUS
Handel, immortal Composer, Had Re-

Duel In Early Life.


The great composer Handel was
born at Halle, February "a. 1854, and
at the outset OF his professional life,
witch was about his twentieth year.
he was nearly lost to the world BY
quarrel with one Matthewson. an
able musician. who violently assault
ed him. A duel ensned. and nothing
but q score buttoned under Handefs
coat and on which his antagonists
weapon broke. saved his life. which
was destined to prove OF inestimable
value to the whole world.
In performing on the organ his
command of the instrument was
amazing as was the fullness of his
harmony and the grandeur and dig
nifty OF his style. Handel wore an
enormous white wig. and when things
went well at the oratorIos Il had O
certain nod or vibration which de-
noted his satisfaction and pleasure.
Without this signal 1t was certain
that he was out of humor.
He never married and died pos
sessed of 100000. Of which he be-
queathed one-half TO the fund for de-
cayed musicians. while the remainder
went TO his relatives. Chicago jour-
