I Bought to modifv Taylor's distress, not without ap prehension that Grant, who had a memory like steel, might have his own views as to the Minister. However, so it was, and the best must be done, and Taylor at least, the amiable, high-minded, generous fellow, would not lack in courtesy. 60 we arranged to go down the road to Etendahl, some 67 miles from Berlin, and meet Grant. As the time approached for the train Taylor grew braver and braver, was in possession of his full courage, and would do his duty in welcoming Grant, as he had done his duty in opposing him for the Presidency, and as for the consequences well! no reproach should rest upon him. This the Minister's avowed, resolute mood as the train came in, and there sure enough tiie serene face of Grant looking out over the German plains. I presented Tavlor. Grant was polite in his calm way and in vited the Minister into the car, where Mrs. Grant w as in a corner. "This is Minister Taylor." "Yes," and a pause. A Moment or Awful Suspense. Bayard also looking out toward the Ger man plains, the prose and poems of the Greeley campaign and the arousing of the country arainst military despotism evi- dentlvcomins back to his troubled mind. "Minister Taylor." "Yes," aud a pause. "Don't j ou remember," said the General to his wile, "the winter we were married that among the books I read you of an even ing was one about two young men traveling afoot over Europe?" Whv, -ves, nud how charming." "This is'Mr.Taylor.who wrote the hook." "How delighted I am to see you." And v hat a flood of sunshine rolled in upon the heavy laden heart of Taylor, Greeley campaign and other clouds in in stant ignominious dissolution, as the coru rany went off iito iriendly talk, the brill iant Taj lor in royal mood and leading the way, as'po well he could. It is due to the memory of two noble characters to say that Grant left Berlin with deep regard for the Miuister. Taylor him self told me that he could never be too grateful that he had been permitted to know Grant, aud to have for him that senti ment otalTection which it was the fortune of that illustrious man to inspire among those who came within the. dominion of his irieudthip. Doing Verlln Bohemian Fashion. Among other things the Berlin Confsr ence was in session,r.nd so no one would have time to bother him. This was General Grant's cherished thought. So when the morning came, and breakfast was out of the way, itocourred to the General to look at Beilin. The courtesies would come in time come soon enough to a traveler sated with ceremony. So we saw the town from the top of street cars.wentone wayand another, and then viewed the outside of the Hohen Eollera palaces, strolled about suburbs, and into beer gardens.where revelers were danc ing, and altogether absorbed Berlin in off hand, comprehensive, Bohemian fashion; no town more thoroughly seen and at more reasonable rates; fares' on Berlin street cars reasonable, and beer garden tariffs not very high. e returned to the hotel, and as the Gen end waj expressing his satisfaction at hav ing had so useful a morning, quite ready to continue his journey, having seen every thing, he looked at the table strewn with cards. "Eurst Von B'smarck, Beichskanz ler," three cards. Cards from Beaconsfield, Balisbarv, GortehakoS', "Waddington, An drassy, Cortis cards even from a major of the guards below "in attendance," who had been sent by the Crown Prince to wait on the General" all the town in fact had left cards. Grant stood in wonder. How did any one know he was in town0 Bismarck, Reichskanzler," three cards. "Yes, hut Bismarck is a busy man," he said, "and why should I Ime him call upon van, when it is mj duty to call upon him?" How Toons Came to 3Ieet Bismarck. Sure enough, but he had not thought of that in the morning, with the town to see and pleasant summer weather and such comfortable street cars and everything so cheap. It never occurred to Grant that all Berlin was waiting for him, and illustrious as were so many of the guests within the city gates, that none was more illustrious than himelf. But as ho might have lived a thousand years without having such a thought, there was nothing but to accept facts as they were and in some way undo the consequence of the oversight. And at once I mc-t wait upon Prince Bismarck and con vey his leerets, and ask what time the Prince would receive him. So witii this errand I found myself on the nay to the Bismarck palace. Entrance to a German palace under any circumstances was not ersv in those davs pf Kaiser-shooting. It toot time. Explanations to officers of vaiious grades, cross-examinations, steady S'-rutinv, minute elucidations had to be undergone before I reached Count Herbert Bismarck. The Count, handsome and ruddy, explained that his father was presiding oter the Berlin Conference, but that he w ould convey the message of Gen eral Grant. So the message was conveyed and audience appointed for 4 o'clock next day. I saw Prince Bismarck at this time, was privileged to tee him acain on three or four occasions, to gain a definite knowledge of his personality, to have later message of lemembrauce that w ere grateful. Two Great Men Together. He was then in his 62d year. I recall his red, amusing moan over Grant's youthful ness as compared with his own worn lines, cud how much better he deemed life in the field to life in the Cabinet. Bismarck was an imposing persouality, a martial air, sit ting tipped on the edge of his chair, spread ing himself over tne floor, caressing the 3arge hound that crouched between his legs and looked suspiciously out upon Grant, who, renting in au easy chair, talked in that quiet, calm, unchanging tone of voice. Such a contrast in the temperaments of the two men! Niagara seething over the granite rock, as it were; one all nre, energy, massive, restless strength, penetration in thoe shaggy brows, inspiration in that sov ereign dome-like head, eyes swift, gleam ing; the other, well, we all know Grant. As it was in the beginning so it shall be linto the end that calm, sure set face; the earnest eye, quick all the same to see and misucrecry ihr-li of the Chancellor's tur bulent Vesuviun soul. There comes the fancy, when you see a noted ligure to seek lor a standard of com parison among noted figures at home. Studying BimaicK fiom this point of view, he looked like a cross between General B. I". Butler and General Sickles. His profile recalled Butler, and the physical methods and economies ol the man reminded you of tho famius commander of Kew Orleans. His luauncr of talk, his expressions, his half-hesitancj, the affectation of halting over a phrase to pick out just the word he wanted, the slight smack of the lips when tho word came, w ith its just a little sus picion of pedantry, was so much like Sickles cs to pass lor an imitation. It might have been Sickles tr) ing to talk English with a German accent. Bismarck's Mastery of English. The hesitancy of the Prince, however, was manifeetly "that of a man thinking in one language and tfAuslating into another. He spoke English with a good, and, at times, an idiomatic locabulary, now and then pausing oer some word with many meanings to hac the exact translation. His using the word "human" for instance, and then a becoad reaching out and catch ing on to the word "humane," which was the word he desired this comes back to me as showing his sure grip on the niceties of our incongruous tongue. Bismarck seemed ever a vast and way ward personality. To master, colleague or servant, unless you went with him, he must hae been ill to get on with. In talking with him you felt the natural man. Notbing JiUtrionic; all free, spontaneous, sincere. His greeting of Grant, his tall figure tower ing over that of the President aud holding the one hand in both of his own; the swift, cordial inquiries about Sheridan; the affec tion w ith which he spoke ot the old Em aeror, then an invalid because of the recent attempt to till His Majesty; the vehemence of his denunciation of socialism, his avowal ot hiinsell as a typical democrat, the Em ueror and himseli being, he said, the twoJ.be most prominent democrats in Germany; his impatience over the free and easy govern ment of Alsace and Lorraine;his acceptance of war as a necessary condition of modern civilization; his maxim that the most power ful nation in Europe was the one with the heaviest artillery; his appreciation of Gam betta, whom lie regretted he did not know; his kind, almost maternal re spect for Thiers; his scorn for the gentlemen of the pavement in Pans; his repeated expression of his conviction during the Civil "War that the South never could succeed; his outlook upon the American Fatherland America in time, as he laughingly said, to be the first of German, as she was the first of English, and would he the first of Scan dinavian nations; his interest in our negro problem, and whether we would ever solve it; his proud remembrance of the fact that German friendship for the United States came to the royal house as a legacy from Frederick the Great; his shadowing the theory that America had her grave problems still to solve, and that the suppression of tne iteoeuicn was usetui as snowing tne re served strength to deal with what in time might try government and society even more than rebellion from point to point the conversation of the Chancellor went flowing on and on like some Amazonian river broadening into the sea. His Personality Was Overpowering. Imagination and consciousnes of stupen dous glory may have prepared me for the impression formed of Bismarck. I do not think so. Much journalism had made this writer at least cynical about greatness in men. Here, plainly however, as clearly apparent as the glaciers at Chamounix, was a gigantic original intellectual force. Bather more in the American, Lincoln Bpirit, was his story of how he kept peace at the Berlin Conference. "Oh, yes," he raid, "we have differences and delicate questions. "What else could he expected with such minds and such interests? The Frenchman sits near me, and we are good friends, and I do what I can to amuse him. Then there are Gortchakoff and Bea consfield, and there is the duel Gortcha- koll alt spirit, Ueaconsheld all sen-possession. The talk will sometimes run high, and sharp words are spoken. As t e room is large, the members rarely talk loud enough to be heard with comfort. So it is so easy when a delegate makes an angry speech to ask him to raise his voice and make it over again, so that we may have the privilege of hearing it. That is an immense gain toward peaceiul deliberation so much fire goes out of a speech when you have to say it all over again. There are a few of us who speak in temper without subsequent vexation. So to repeat speech gives the speaker time to be sorry." Sometimes They Took a Drink. Sometimes, however, that will not do. The speaker, and generally the Englishman or the Bussian, is so angry that the more he thinks of his wrongs the angrier he grows, and the Eecond speech is worse than the first, and everything will be on the blaze. Then I have my last resource. Like the great general I bring up my reserves. In an adjoining room I nave a splendid set-out, especially in the way of drink no buffet at the Prussian railway stations half so well appointed everything selected to meet the tastes of my noble and princely friends. Veil, when the talk verges on the blaze, and Beaconsfield'e face grows dark and set and poor Gortchakoff hobbles and scram bles to Ms feet in passion, which it was hard to do with his infirmities, I say, 'Gen tlemen, I am tired and thirsty, and I think I would like to take a drink. And why not let us all have a drink?' That means a question of an hour at my famous buffet, and we resume our seats in better humor." There was something to American in this description such humor, good sense, per ception of human nature that I never re call it except as an illustration of the sim plicity of Bismarck's genius, the simplicity inseparable, perhups, lrom true genius; the iroing at a thing in a plain, direct way. Bismarck knew that men were men, and that there comes a time in men's lives when the buffet has unspeakable power. It is by this simplicity that causes are gained and battles won. Bismarck's Place In History. Even as statesmen go in a nation where an emperor lived and ruled and a field mar shal held his baton when they were over 90, Bismarck is no longer a young man. As to his career well, the career of such a man is not confined to his lifetime. No royal man date can make or unmake the statesman, because even the decrees of a Hohenzollern do not run into history. Events made Bis marck, and he directed them to the glory of his country and his King. I can well believe the "repeated asseverations of his faith in Providence, that he trusted in God as much as Cromwell and Wash ington profoundly believed in God as the One who doeth all things well. It was only due respect to the Supreme Being to see that the guns did sot moulder in the battlements. There was practical Chris tianity in that proud, sad, worn face hu mility, devotion, but discipline and drilL Generations must come and go before we see the measure of his greatness, the com pass and volume of his work. The crown that spurns him was his gift to the Hozen zollerns; the nation that is called upon to disown him owes its unity to his genius. There is justice and generosity in time. Who is the sovereign whom Bichelien served? "Who was tho master of Mazarin? What Emperor discovered Metternich, and who remembers whether the Dukedom of Wellington came from George the ThirS or George the Fourth? Surely there is jus tice and generosity in time. Bismarck is one of the names of the century, a name to live with Lincoln and Napoleon. No royal command can eliminate it. Even now his tory, which is so often pitiless, sees in Bis marck the central sun of German Eplendor, and the Emperors whom he served as so many happy, obedient stars who have a con tented glory in his splendor. JOHUT liUSSELIi YOTJ2TO. HE "WAS TOO CONFIDING. James Manion Seeks Aid In Apprehending Joseph Garber, Who, Ho Alleges, Swin dled Him Story ol a Man's Suffer ings. James Manion, a Pole, who is sick and in very destitute circumstances, called at the Humane Society office yesterday and wanted aid in apprehending Joseph Garber, who, he claims, swindled him out of every cent he possessed. Manion says he was at one of the hospitals for over seven months suffering from typhoid fever. About five weeks ago he left the hospital and sent to Mansfield, where he met Garber. Slanion still had ?100 after leaving the hospital, and, being unable to work, he asked Gar ber's advice as to the best means to obtain a livelihood with little exertion. When Garber learned that Manion had 5100 he advised him to buy a horse and wagon and peddle tinware. Manion agreed to do this, bought the outfit, and started out with Garber to sell his goods. He says they had been out three days and disposed of most of the goods. A short distance from Mansfield Garber, it is said, took all the remaining tinware and told Manion to watch the horse and wagon until he visited a num ber of houses in the neighborhood. Manion waited till dark and Garber did not return. He arranged a bed in his wagon, stayed there all night and still nothing was heard from Garber. After waiting for four days without having anything to eat Manion concluded to start lor Mansfield. When he reached Hay's crossing his horses dropped dead from starvation and he was forced to walk to Mansfield. When he reached the town he succeeded in making some people understand that he was almost started and after getting something to eat, he started for "Wilmerding. where he had a cousin, Prank Walewskie. Walewskie interested a Wilmerding real estate agent, who sent Manion to the Humane Society yesterday. Manion says that over ?58 worth of tinware had been sold, and as Garber did all the Gelling, he still had the money. Agent Bcrryman, of the Humane Society, advised Manion to go before Alderman Mc- Masters and enter suit against Garber for swindling him out of the money which he claims he lost As to the cruel treatment of the horse, that part of the complaint will investigated to-morrow. COX AUD HIS HUMOE. The Sobriquet of Sunshine More Ap propriate Than- Sunset HIS THRUSTS NEVER HURT MUCH. A Falling Out With an Alabama Judge Settled Over Peach Brandy. BOMB SPECIMENS OF HIS STUB rwnrrrEN ron tub dispatch. A remarkable man in many ways was Samuel S. Cox, "Sunset Cox," as he was familiarlj known; though the sobriquet of "Suushine" would more nearly express the character of the man, whose genial wit scat tered sunshine so often through the pre vailing mistiness of the House. Cox was always brilliant. He was pos sessed by nature of a rare sense of the humorous, and seemed to take life in all its phases as a joke rather than a serious mat ter. He was the laughing philosopher of the House, but nevertheless was possessed of an underlying stratum of solid sense which the gleams of his wit never failed to reveal. His speeches, while enlivened with humor, contained an amountof solidmatter. which showed that he was an omnivorous reader and possessed of a prodigious memory. His political career was exceptional in American history I think. Born in Ohio, he was elected to Congress for two succes sive terms from that State, and then, mov ing to New York City in 1865, was not long resident there till he was again elected to Congress for six terms in succession, with but a single bieak. Could Be Elected Anywhere. He seemed, like some of the English statesmen, to be able to stand successful for any borough. This is an unusual mark of public appreciation when there are so many patriotic citizens ready to immolate them selves on theif country's altar through Con gressional service. The wonder is that he was not sent back from Turkey, while our Minister there, as its representative to the United States, as Burlingame from China, and is only to be accounted for on the sup position that the Turk has not the same ap preciation ot ajoc that tne Uhmaman has. He was undoubtedly kept in Congress so long, and from two separate States, because there was a place for him to fill there that no other man could so fitly occupy. His mental kodak caught and retained every thing humorous within its reach, and re produced it in vivid lineaments. Every thing ludicrous was grist to his intelleotual mill to be ground into the fine sifted flour of unadulterated wit, with no ingredient of sarcasm in it, such as characterized Stevens or Butler. He was The Most Genial and Lovable of all the public men of my acquaintance. He reveled in humor more for the enjoy ment it afforded him than for the discom fiture of his adversary. He has well, though doubtless unconsciously to himself, portrayed his own character, when he sav3 in his book, "Why We Laugh," that "Humor has no sting. It is not poisonous like the Stygian waters, which no other than a mule'slioof could hold. The humor ous man is. from his very sensibility. likely to be gentle and pathetic, but not malignant. I He can rain tears as well as bring smiles. " I -Nnihine ran hotter llliiRtrnt his rlir- I acter than an incident related by Judge J TYnl Unm l, a .n .? I 1 l.. I Pelham, who was a native Alabamia; elected to the Forty-third Congress as a Re publican. Cox had unwittingly said some thing in debate that so offended Pelham that he was determined to pay him back. Shortly afterward Cox volunteered one day to take the place of reading clerk at the desk to relieve one who had become hoarse. This was occasionally permitted, but re quired unanimous consent. Pelham ob jected. His friends tried to prevail on him to withdraw the objection, but he per sisted, and Cox was shut offi Settled With Peach Brandy. Pretty soon he came to Pelham's seat and said: "Judge, life is too short for you and I to spend it in personal animosities. It I have offended you it was unintentional and I beg your pardon, as I freely extend you mine, iet us go over to the Con gressional Hotel andbury the hatchet with appropriate ceremonies." The Judge assented. When they reaohed there Cox asked him what it would be. The Judge said ha proposed to take peach brandy and honey. "That's new to me," said Cox. "I will try the Bame." He professed to like it so well that they emphasized the burial of the hatchet in a couple of more glasses, and their broken friendship was firmly cemented. After that Cox always addressed Pelham as "My sweet peach," and Pelham called him "Honey." His wit was never studied like that of the English humorists of the last century, who, it is said, forged it in private and kept it ready to fire off when opportunity should offer, and, if the opportunity did not offer, led the conversation up to the point where it would be apropos, and then "let her loose" with all the appearance of being im promptu. Cox's Wit Always Spontaneous. This method never would havo suited Cox. As he has agaiu said in the book from which I have before quoted, "The best humor is that which springs out of the sur roundings. No jest, depending merely on memory, strikes kindly, strikes home, or strikes hard. Besides, studied invective implies malice aforethought, and no ma licious man was ever yet great either in wit or humor." Cox's wit was as spontaneous as Stevens' sarcasm, flashing like lightning from the clouds because so surcharged with it that it must find-Trent, and he was indifferent as to whom it struck, knowing perhaps that its victim, though he might be blinded by it, would not be killed. And it was in the ex citement of debate, when mind clashed with mind like flint and steel, that the sparks flashed brightest. His mind was no well from which the waters must he pumped, but a living spring from which they gushed forth; every drop sparkling with light, and tinted with rainbow hues. He was the very incarnation 01 me spirit 01 mn. yet with al, no mere buffoon; no jumping jack with cap and bells; no mere trifler playing his part for the amusement of the gallery gods. How Ben Butler Took Him Sown. He was always in the advance of the skirmish line, opposing heavy guns with rifle shots or light artillery. His wit was never cruel or brutal; his cuts were keen and sharp as those made by a Damascus blade, and w ere given in such perfect good humor that his victim never harbored any resentment His great forte was in ex temporaneous debate, in which the readi ness of his wit and quickness in repartee gave him the greatest advantage; and he was never non-plussed, as the phrase is, ex cept by Butler, whom Cox was badgering with questions and interruptions until But ler turned on him, and, with a contemptuous wave of his hand, said "shoo fly, don't bother me." He was self-possessed without conceit, and confident in his powers without arrogance. As might be inferred from what I have said, and from what he himself has said, he was not so happy in a sustained effort of humor as in its fitful flashes; and fell far short of Proctor Knott in this particular. As good an illustration of his style in this direction as I remember is to be found in a speech on a resolution to admit members of the Cabinet to the floor of the House to an swer questions and explain measures per taining to their respective departments. A Specimen of Cox's Wit. He pictured them as all present, sketch ing their peculiarities with a fewrapid strokes of his wit, and then said: "My col league (General Schenck) is the first to rise and inquire of the War Minister, what? Whether the blowing out of the bulkhead of the Dutch Gan Canal by Butler has seri- ously affected the backbone of the Bebellion?, If aye, how many vertebra were demol ished? and, after conference with the Naval Committee, whether the canal, in case of a tempestuous sea, is navigable for double enders, and whether they cannot go either way therein without turning round? "The gentleman from Illinois (Mr.Wash bume) would call up the head of the Treas ury Department and ask whether it would be best to tax inewmssy arunic in the last century with a view to assist Legislatures of States to a patriotic choice of Senators? and, if so, what amount should be levied on the spirits of '76? The Chairman of Ways and Means (Stevens) would inquire, with the gravity of Pluto's countenance, whether it would not be wise to enact a law punish ing with death all who might Bell peanuts and putty on any other than a gold basis. A chorus of voices would be heard to in quire whether the Treasury Department could not so interpret the 5 per cent income tax as to relieve members recently defeated from all tax upon their mileage in the next Congress. Information on the Navy. "Then the Secretary of the Navy would be put to the catechism. A member from Massachusetts would' inquire what effect the payment of codfish bounties, as a nursery lor our seamen, would have upon the navi gation of the iron-clads? I might be tempted mysell to ask whether the Abyssinians were used by Cleopatra in her naval service, if so, were they at the battle of the Nile, and were they there all the while ? And, if so, what Pompey thought about it? "But the gentleman from Vermont (Morrill), ever alive to the interests ot New England, would inquire triumphantly of Mr. Fessenden, whether the tariff could not be so amended as to increase the duty on dye-stuffs and paper so that on a future issue of seventeen billions of greenbacks the tariff would be prohibitory, the prices raised, and a satisfactory deficiency pro duced in the revenues, or whether by rais ing the price of dye-stuffs and paper, the value of greenbacks in the market might not be made equal to the cost of their manu facture '!" And finally he represents his pastoral friend (Grinnell, of Iowa), as inquiring of the Secretary of the Navy "Whether the Argonautio expedition of Admiral Jason would have had any effect, in case the golden fleece had been captured in Australia, either on the gold market or the price of wool?" He never failed to incorporate into his remarks anything that would tend to ridicule a proposition to which he was opposed. Fan at Judge Kelly's Expense. In the course of a speech on the agricul tural appropriation bill he read an article from a Philadelphia paper, thanking Judge jveny ior a copy 01 tne latent uihce report, as follows: "We owe thanks to Jndge Kelly for a copy of the latest Patent Office report. We already have 1,600 of these interesting vol umes in our little library, but they have been read and re-read so manv times that we know every one of them by heart. This new volume came opportunely and grate fully on Christmas morning, and that night we gathered our little family around the fire and read it through to them. The affecting tale entitled, 'Improvement in Monkey wrenches, seemed to touch every heart, and when we came to the climax of the little story about 'Beversable Pie Boards,' there was not a dry eye between the front door and the stable. "During the reading of the piteous narra tive entitled "Gum Washers for Carriage Axles," the whole family gave way to bois terous emotion, and the hired girl was so much excited that she lost her presence of mind and went round to her mother, inad vertently with Bix pounds of sugar and a butter kettle full of flour, and came home at midnight intoxicated. We can never can sufficiently thank Judge Kelly for the in- Ti snon flninttm an 4Tlin nlfnarl nil n rTU - nocent enjoyment thus afforded us. The memory of that happy evening will linger with us longer than that hired girl ever lingers when she lights on a lot of substance that she thinks will suit the constitution of her aged parent."

A gentleman in the neighborhood of Harlem Square has a very interesting pet, which has afforded him considerable amusement, and particularly so this summer. It is a dry land terrapin. It was caught by an ex-Councilman of Baltimore several years ago while enjoying an outing at Swan Creek, and as it seemed to havo a record somewhat remarkable, it was brought to the city, where it became the pet of the family, and particularly of the gentleman's father, who takes a great interest in it, and has kept it for eight years. On the lower shell is cnt in large figures, very legible, 1845. Just over this date is also cut Jack A. O. "Jack" seems to have been set at liberty then by his first master and enjoyed free dom until 1871, when this date was cut lower down on the shell. Here it has lived and grown fat during the past eight summers, its winters having been spent in a box of cotton batting and sand arranged for it in tho gentleman's cellar. During the summers it has been fed on soft snails and fishing worms placed near it, and it is bo tame that it is fed thus from the hand. During the winter, of course, it remains dormant in the cellar until the warm sun shines out, and it is brought up for its summer outing. The gentleman thinks it something of a weather prophet, and has watched its habits very closely. When "Jack" thinks it is going to rain it is very active, hustling about in the yard, and never missed a chance of crawling through the grass during the shower, but when a very dry spell is about to set in it buries itself in a corner under the shadows of the climatis vines. This summer "Jack" has been acting rather singularly for one alone in its little garden. For some time past little mounds of loose dirt in a flower bed have occupied its atten tion and watchful care. The gentleman openedtthem the other day and found sev eral pretty eggs. TEA. THAT INTOXICATES. How the Wily Kansas Gnzzler Dodges the Prohibitory Law. Foet Scott, Kan., July 18. "Hop tea" venders are having a hot time of it in this city just now. In the Police Court this morning the case of the city versus C. C. Patterson, charged with selling intoxicat ing liquors, was called. A bottle of hop tea was produced, and Mr. Patterson ad mitted to having sold it. Dr. Barnett, Sec retary of the Board of Police Commission ers, was then called as a witness, and.he was "loaded for bear" with a brand new miniature distillery, complete in every de tail, and made after the exact pattern of a Government distillery, which he produced and exhibited in the presence of the Court and a large audience. He took a quantity of the tea, evaporated it through the machine, separating the alco hol and water from the other ingredients, and found to his own great astonishment that the liquor in the bottle contained ex actly 13J per cent of alcohol. This was a complete surprise to all present, most of whom disbelieved the merits of the analysis until the doctor repeated the test and con clusively proved its correctness. The best beer contains only 3J per cent of alcohol, but the doctors Bay that the quality of a beverage is not due to the amount of alco hol contained in it. Patterson was acquit ted, however, owing to some technicality which could not be overlooked. Other bot tles of the tea were tested, and no alcohol at all could be found in them. Daughters, Wives and Mothers. Physicians heartily endorse the use of Speer's celebrated port wine for debilitated females. It is not an intoxicant and is ab solutely pure, being made from grapes at Speer's Vineyards, N. J, The claret is an excellent table wine. THE IMC WOKLD. An Objection to the Site of the Carne gie Music Hall Obliterated. CAPACITY OF THE NEW BUHDDfG. Haydn' Imperial Mass as Rendered at Cal vary Episcopal Church. GOSSIP OF THE BARS AITO SPACES The first of the open-air band concerts at Schenlcy Park, given last Monday evening, drew thither fully fi.OOO people from all classes of society. The traction lines were literally crowded with people coming from the various parts of the city to that brass band concert at Schenley Park. This fact, close upon the heels of the Fourth, when fully 100,000 people went to the park, conclusively proves that even with the present means of transportation the people can and will get to their new pleasure ground. That 5,000 people go there now for a simple band concert finally disposes of the allegation that the park en trance will be an inaccessible site for the Carnegie buildings, and especially for the Music Hall. Another deduction may be made. If the rough baud pavillion and an every-day local band can command a patronage of 5,000, how large a patronage will be ready for the fine musio hall, with its own bril liant attractions, with the aid of the many other departments of that suite of build ings and with the popular habit of going to the park strengthened by the passing of the years and the increased means of communi cation sure to come? Capacity of the New Mnsie Hall. This question is vitally important just now, when the Carnegie Commission is in viting competitive plans for the buildings. The capacity and the design of that musio hall should by all'means be such as to ac commodate properly the patronage that will be ready for it. It ought to hold out its higher musical opportunities to as many as possible of those 5,000 people, who showed themselves ready to go to Schenley Park for a pleasant musical evening. Tho miuimum capacity of 2,000 suggested by the commission is much too small, unless it should be necessary thus to keep within the funds provided. Three thousand five hundred to 4,000 would be more like the proper capacity for the average patronage that ought to be and can be had, while such an-audience would be still well within the limits beyond which music ceases to be heard to advantage. "But," someone says, "Pittsburg does not contain even 2,000 regular patrons of con certs of the grade likely to be given in a music hall." That is unfortunately true, and it is all too likely to remain true, un less the new hall shall, as it readily can, present the necessary conditions to develop our rightful proportion of regular concert- goers. Distinctly Popular Concerts. Those necessary conditions may be roughly stated thus: The hall should have a total capacity in the neighborhood of 4,Q00 and should be built with one or two tiers of boxes, a balcony and a gallery, all rising above the parquet. About half the seats should be in the balcony and gallery. Such a scheme will permit a scale of prices graded to suit every purse and yielding enough receipts for any attraction. At first the hall will be filled only on rare occa sions, but even if the two upper sections be entirely empty, the vacant seats will be out of sight and will affect neither the appear ance nor the enjoyment of those occupying the rest of the auditorium. Every time that hall is used there could be, by this plan, hundreds of seats to be had at 25 and 50 cents. Every time, mind you. It would be a constant thing; everybody would soon get to Know tnat tnis new music hall is intended for the whole people, and that anyone can get in for a quarter. Distinctly "nonular" concerts would ha given at small prices for the whole house; tree organ recitals, too, like those that have been crowding the Allegheny Carnegie Hall. The people the same classes that now throng the free concerts out doors and in could and would bo got into the habit of looking to musio for regular, normal re creation. This is no idle dream. Other oities have proven its entire reasonableness. If the proposed Music Hall be large enough and rightly planned, Pittsburg, too, can enter upon this musical missionary work, and that without interfering with the avail ability of the hall for the smaller audiences that may be expected until the popular movement shall nave taken effect. The Devotional Value of Art. The giving of Haydn's Imperial Mass, complete, at Calvary Episcopal Church last Sunday evening reflects credit upon both ends of that church. It shows the waning of the ancient Pro testant prejudice against even the music of the Komish Church. The prejudice is chief ly against the words, of course, but even this feeling has no real right to exist, es pecially in the heart of an Episcopalian, whose own book of common prayer contains the best English translation of the words of the mass extant. Nevertheless it is full of significance that any Protestant church should give an entire service written and composed for the Church of Rome. From a musical standpoint it is gratify ing to see any such a recognition of the devotional value of the art, as is implied in devoting almost the whole of a Sunday evening to it. This is not infrequently done in other cities, but in Pittsburg Mr. L. C. Webster and his choir at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church have for some time been alone in this species of activity. All the churches might make musm a much more efficient handmaid to religion than she can possibly be so long as they give her a place in public worship merely on sufferance as a kind of sop to the world-flesh-and-devil Cerberus. Music of the proper sort has just as good a right to occupy a prominent part of- a church service as a sermon has. Calvary is to be congratulated on possessing in Mr. Hodges a rector broad enough to recognize the truth of this doctrine, and in Mr. Better an orcanist and choir master who is both able and willing to put it into practice. Musical Gossip From .London. A personal letter from a former well known Pittsburger, Mr. William D. Holmes, contains the following London musical gossip, under date of June 22: I have just returnedfromwhatlconsider the evenest performance of "Lohengrin" I have ever heard. Here is the cast: Elsa, Mme. Melba; Ortrud, Giulia Eavogli; iotoi grin, Jean de Eeszke; Tlie King, Edward de Beszke; Telramund, Maurel; Herald, Abra moff. Such a tremendous cast doesnot often fall to one's lot to hear. Add to this a superb orchestra under Marcinelli and a remarkable chorus, and I 'think I shall not hear as good a performance very soon again. In the farewell scene of the third act Jean do Keszko was perfectly superb and received au ovation. Melba im pioves every month and is an Ideal Elsa. bhe is so pretty now. Maurel, even if ho is getting a bit old and his volco a shade passe, is incompaiable as an artist. Lasalle, tho baritone who was near -me, became so ex cited aud enthusiastic that ho rushed off to oongratulate the singers. Next Saturday night "Otello" is to be given for the first timo with Jean de Keszko as Otello, Maurel as lago and Albani as Dei demona. There is cousiderable speculation as to what Do Keszko will make of it Cer tainly something artistic. That reminds me that I heard Tamagno and Maurel in the same thing at Nice last winter. The first night the house was lammed and Maurel got the applause. Tho second, the prices were reduced and the house half full. Tho third was worse yet, lrom all accounts. I wonder who likes to hear Tamagno. I can'tllnd many, especially In Italy. There are several American singers boie J. now, notably Holman Black, who has been very successful in concerts. Ho has a very beautiful and well trained baritone voice. -Everyone may not know that Hay den Coffln, the barltonowho made such a success In "Dorothy," is a down-east Yankee from Maine. His father was one of the host known American dentists In London. Two of his brothers succeed their father. They have lived over here a great many years. Coffln is now singing in "LaCigale," an unin teresting comic opera by Audran, where he has apart that ho can't display his really fine voice In. Ivan Caryll, the husband of Geraldine Ulmar, has taken Audran's orchestral score and re-written In to suit himself. The resultis a hideous gap between ma uouuie uasses and tho nrst violins, x don't see why ho couldn't leave Audran's original scoring alone. However, I suppose there aro people who would tinker with Wagner's orchestration, if they could find anyone to play it. As for the libretto tho less one says tho more ono compliments it. I wanted to swear when I read in a late number of The Dispatch the criticisms cabled from London on Miss Sanderson, at tributing her failure to Madam Marchesi's methods. She never was madam's pupil ex cept for two months last spring (1E90). What on earth could Madam do in that time? She only went to try and improve her middle register before taking the engagement in Brussels, ana sne aid improve it somewuac. S li o never was Madam's pupil before or since. That is authoritative. I couidgiveyou dozens of examples of girls who have tnken a few lessons from Madam Marchesi and then gone away and announced themselves as her pu pils. I know some in America now, and that Is the variety of bird that brings a dis repute upon her that she can't help. I am not saying tnat Miss Sanderson announces horself as Marchesi's pupil I don't think she does. But the strictures upon Marchesi, on her account, are none the less unde served. I suppose every noted teacher has hadjust the same experience. Crotchets and Quavers. A Concert will be given by Gnenther's Orohestra at ParkPlace Hotel, Sewickley, on the 23d inst. Miss Leonoba Stosoh has carried off three first prizes at the Brussels Conservatoire. She was formerly a pupil of Joseph Kasper, of Washington. Ma. Geohoe Fox's new five-act opera, "Nydia," founded on Bulwer's "Last Days of Pompeii," will be produced at the Crystal Palace, London, on July 30. BuMHSTEiir Is said to criticise Wagner, LiBzt and Berlioz very severely in the book which he is now engaged in writing. He is reported as contending that those composers have retarded the progress of the art of music. Misa Agnes HunnitaTo:r has bought back from Rudolph Aronson the American rights in Planquette's "Captain Therese," which was originally written for her and produced by herin London with fair success. She will use it in. her tour through this country next season. A coRREsroumnrr In Italy writes that Verdi looks remarkably young and vigorous for a man of 76 years. His eyes are bright, his conversation fluent and clear, and ho gives the impression of one who has many years of life before him. We may hear "Pal staff" yet. The management of Walter Damrosch and tho New York Symphony Orchestra has closed an arrangement for a series of con certs next fall and winter in Baltimore. Why not in Pittsbursr, too? Comparatively slight local effoit would doubtless bo able to secure this boon for our orchestrally be nighted community. Waiter Damboscti is reported as saying to a Berlin correspondent: "Our people are no tat all musical, bat those who are are much more highly cultivated than the average German." Mr. Damrosch has not hitherto been suspect ed of having Irish blood in his veins. More over, the apparent meaning of this pretty paradox is absurdly untrue. Mascaoini, the composer of "Cavallerla Bustioana," which has created a furore throughout the Continent, Is described as a remarkably handsome young man, 28 years of age. His skin is dark bronze, his eyes are black, and melancholy in expression, and his forehead is broad and high. He Is six feet in height. His face i3 beardless. Thoyseemtobe suffering from a glut of conductors in Germany, says the Fxqaro. At Baden the post of conductor was vacant by tho death of Koennemann. It seems that no fewer than 122 candidates were up for the post, the emolument8"of which do not ex ceed more than .150 ner annum. It was carried off by Mr. Kock,a violincellist, a pupil of Haussmann, and the composer of two symphonies. Miss CEitiSTniE Nielson's name bothered tho local newspapers on her visit here, many items spelling it "Nilsson," making it identi cal with that of the world-famous soprano, now retired, and who mw one time heard here in the same church edifice. One good woman, thinking the connection closer still, was heard to remark at the concert, "Why, she looks a good deal like her mother did, only prettier." Mb. Isidore de Lara's cantata, "Tho Light .of Asia," a musical setting of Sir Edwin Ar nold's fine poem, was announced to be pro duced, with scenic accessories, at Convent Garden Theater, London, during the second week of July. This is practically its first performance in London, as, so far, only por tions of it havo been heard in the concert room. The principal roles were ti be sus tained by Miss Fames and M. Maurel. Atteb the current month of "The Grand Duchess" at the Now York Casino, ending August 14, Lillian Bussell's engagement as Rudolph Aronson's prima donna will expire by limitation. Deprived of her services, the Casino will avail itself of the assistance of Pauline L'Allemand, who will be heard in a version of "La Heine Indigo." October 15 Marie Tempest will take her place at the head of the Casino forces, and about that time Miss Lillian Bussell will be seen at the Garden Theater as the star of "La Cigale." The centennial of Mozarts death was to be celebrated at Salzburg, his birthplace, by a notable musical festival during three days of the past week. Many of the foremost Ger man artists gladly consented to take part In the Fest, which opened with the Bequiem, closed with "Figaro" and included such other representative works as the D minor pianoforte concerto, the G minor and "Jupi ter" symphonies and tho D minor string quartette. It was a fitting tribute to the memory of themost universal musical genius the world has known. The Chevalier Scovel is negotiating with Edoardo Sonzogno, of Milan, the publisher of the successful opera, "Cavallerla Bnsti , cana," by Pietro Mascagni, with a view to securing the solo rights of its production in England, where it will probably be seen at a West End theater in the autumn, when the Chevalier's engagement with Mr. Sedger terminates. The opera, which Is in one act, has proved a great success on the Continent, having, since its production a llttlo over a J rear a.go, been played in more than one inndred and fifty theaters in Italy, Ger many, Austria and Holland. London Society Mb. Homer Moobe, the well-known bari tone, is in the city, and will be heard at Cal vary Church in both of to-day's services. Mr. Moore, who was a principal member of tho lamented American Opera Company during tho hey-day of its first season, has lately been in Munich preparing for tho Wagner opera stage. Ho Is hero on a short visit to Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Eowe, and is en route to Chautauqua to deliver a scries of lectures upon tho Nibelungen music dramas, which ho illustrates by extracts from the scores, and also by stereoptlcan views of the characters and stage scenes. Mb. Louis C. Elsou in a Musical Herald editorial on the old Flemish school of com position, says: "Much of the old music is intrinsically valuable and beautiful. The madrigals of the sixteenth century havo a charm that should not be allowed to be un appreciated; the works of Des Pres and Dl Lasso are beautiful and stately music even when heard in Juxtaposition with modern masterpieces, and even though the seventh chords, which form such a feature of modern music, (Wagner might be called tho apostle of tho secondary seventh chord) are absent. It would be well If teachers, particularly vocal teachers, wonld turn occasionally to theso old works and cause their pupils to study them. It may be a fact worth telling in this connection that fhe singer who is now making such a success in Pans and London Miss Emma Eames ascribes much of her musical ability to the thorough training w hich Prof. John K. Paine used to give her in the old works of Dufay and the Flemish school of the fifteenth century." Mdlle. Otta Broht, who is here to give a concert of Danish musio at the Prince's Hall, Is a native of Copenhagen, and a great fa vorite of the Danish Court, but this is not her only claim upon the consideration of concert-goers. She is one of thefewpnpils of Carlotta Fatti who has attained any im portant position in this country. She made her first appearance In England at the con cert which inaugurated the Danish Exhibi tion three years ago, and although she has made her home in this country, she went to Paris last year to fulfill an important en gagement at the Theatre Lyrique. Her con cert promises to be exceptionally lnterest- ing, because It irUl afford English amateurs an opportunity of becoming acquainted with other Danish composers than Niels Gade, who, educated under the immediate influence of Mendelssohn at Leipzig, can scarcely be considered a typical representa tive of the musio of his country. Mdlle. Brony promises to introduce selections from the works of, among others.EmilHartmann, P. Heise. Axel Grandjean, Otto Mailing and Enna. JPdU Mall Budget. C0ID ATR BY COKBTJITS. Kansas City's Plan for Overcoming the Heat or Dog; Days. Kansas Crrr, July 18. Several of the richest men in this city have organized for the purpose of supplying cold air throughout the city through conduits. Last night at a meeting of both houses of the Coram n Council the company was granteda fran chise to build mains and works to carry out the proposed enterprise, the first of the kind ever attempted in this country. The proiectors of the scheme are confident of its success, and will sell fresh air to any part of the city, and remove the impure atmosphere at a very low cost per square foot. The work of laving the mains will begin at once, and probably by next sum mer the company will be ready to supply the fresh air. In the winter hot air will be sent through the pipes. SAXocmsTS know that Iron City Beer always pleases their patrons. A The summer is the best time for the treat ment and cure of catarrhal troubles. The climatic conditions are then most favorable, liability of catching fresh cold being then reduced to the minimum, and the even tem perature and the condition of the atmos phere favoring the progress of the patient. Drs. Copeland & Hall have decided to treat all patients, old and new, applying to them for treatment during July and August at the merely nominal rate of 55 a month, fur nishing all medicines. This applies to pa tients by mail as well as patients in the city. It is to all patients, old as well as new, and for all diseases. All patients tak ing treatment from Drs. Copeland & Hall during July and August will be treated until cured at the rate of 55 a month. "WAS IT CONSUMPTION? Sir. Charles Elsasser's Marvelous Recovery From Tronbles of Years Standing. "My trouble first began about three years ago. The approach was so gradual that I took no notice of it until it became so bad that the pain was insufferable." The speaker was Mr. Charles Elsasser, living on Lincoln avenue, in the suburbs of this city. Mr. Elsasser owns a dairy on Coleman Hill, and personally supplies his own customers. Con tinuing he said: "I had severe headaches. There were black spots before my eyes and I became very dizzy at times. My nose was constant ly stopped np. The mucus dropped back into my throat, which made it very sore. I coughed up yellow mucus in quantities. I had pain in the chest and under the shoul der blade3. I thought that I had consump tion. My appetite was very poor. I hod palpitation of the heart and at times it would burn so that I could not sleep. "I saw the advertisements in which simi lar cases to mine had been cured by Drs. Copeland and Hall so I took treatment. My troubles have now ceased and I feel better than ever before. I am glad of the oppor tunity to make this statement and freely recommend Drs. Copeland and Hall to those who suffer as I did. HIS VOICE NEARLY OONH. I have lived in Pittsburg for 21 years, and have been on the police force for over seven years. I lived in the Eighth and Eleventh wards ever since being in the city." The speaker was Mr. W. T. Banks, policeman, living at 231 Webster avenue, this city. Then continuing, bo said: "My troubles first prominently appeared after I suffered from 'La Grippe' a year ago. I was affected before, but the grip aggra vated my troubles. Had dull pains in the head. My nose was stopped up and tho mucus dropped Into my throat. The buz zing In my ears prevented my hearing dis tinctly when using the telephone In tho patrol boxes. I had a slight cough and pains in the chest under tho left arm, which would shoot to the right shoulder, then back again. I could hardly Bpeak above a whisper. Had a bloated and full feeling in the stomach all the time. I could not sleep from being so short of breath. Now, under the careful and Judicious treatment of Drs. Copeland & Hall, I have improved in evory way. My troubles have ceased. I willingly recommend those gentlemen. They did more for me than any one else could do." ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS! How Long Does It Take? The Bert Time of the Year for Treatment? Are All Cases Cured? I would like to know if it Is true, as I have heard, that you cure all cases of catarrh, and that you have never made a failure yet? Also, how long does It take7 A lady writing to Dr. Copeland for treat ment closes her letter with these questions. Wo havo no hesitation in answering to the first very decidedly. No, It is not true. Drs. Copeland and Hall do not cure all cases. In some instances the catarrh has extended so far, reaching the lungs and developing Into consumption, that a cure is difficult and probably Impossible. Where consumption in Its advanced stages has appeared as the result of neglected catarrhal trouble Drs. Copeland and HaU do not profess to be able to effect a cure. In other and more frequent cases patients have applied for treatment; those failed to take their treatment and their medicines regularly, or discontinued their treatment, beforo it had time to accomplish the desired result. In such cases Drs. Copeland and Hall can not accomplish a cure. In both the cases mentioned above the neglect, lack of patience or common sense. or both, of tho patient are at fault. With tho exception of these two classes, Drs. Copeland and Hall do cure all cases of catarrh. If the disease has not extended to an incurable stage, if the patient follows the treatment regularly and faithfully for the necessary and prescribed course of time a complete and permanent cure is the re sult. "How long does it take to cure catarrh!" In the average case of catarrh troubles, when not complicated with otner diseases, from two to four months of regular method ical treatment Is required to effect a cure. "What is the best time to treat catarrh!" Is another question frequently asked. The summer, because the weather is less variable, there Is less liability to catching cold, and the climatic conditions are in every way more favorable, and yet the sum mer is the time when patients are the most liable to neglect their catarrh. It is partly for this reason that Drs. Copeland and Hall have fixed a uniform rate of $5 a mouth for medicines and treatment during the sum- mex. M-. Charles Elsasser, Lincoln Ave., Pittsburg. ABUSING A WOED, TVTimt the Term Specialist Is Often Made to Cover A Fair Flatform. There is no word in the English language that has been subjected to more flagrant abuse than tho word "specialist." The de velopments of the last century have mads the field of scientific medicine and surgery so broad as to render the adoption of spe cialties by thoroughly scientific men abso lutely necessary. This' condition has also given rise to a small army of men who, without any particular study or experience, in fact, without very much general study or experience, have represented themselves to the public as specialists. Now, just as much for the sake of protect ing the public against this kind of Impos ture as for their own credit and Interest, Drs. Copeland and Hall, who have devoted their lives to the study and practice of cer tain specialties, propose to state some very plain facts. No man Is In any true sense a specialist who is not in the first nlace a rec-nla trained, regularly educated physician. No man can be a successful specialist who has not laid the groundwork for his success first In general practice among all kinds of disease. No man is likely to be a successful special ist who has not had and availed himself of opportunities for special study and special work in hospitals or infirmaries. No man can lay claim to being a successful specialist until he ha3 had an extensive practice and experience In the specialties he claims. Under these conditions Drs. Copeland and Hall appear as skillful specialists in the genuine sense of the term. Their credentials, with the famous Bellevue Hospital Medical College of New York heading the list, the record ot their experience and practice, In cludingthe treatment of over 10,000 patients annually, the printed statements of repre sentative and wall-known men and women whom they havo cured, these afford a posi tion which welcomes Investigation and chal lenges contradiction. In the treatment or catarrh and diseases of the eye, ear, throat and Jungs, Drs. Copeland and Hall are notably, if not wonderfully, successfuL Their charges, which include medicineo and necessary local treatment, $J u. wvuui, aio uuugreuwr man me medicines alone would cost the patient. In placing within the reach of people of moderate circumstances, incontestiblo medical skill and successful treatment, Drs. Copeland and Hall are doing good in the community, are practically serving the public. Their Credentials. As has been said, Dr. W. Copeland was S resident of his class at Eellovue Hospital fedical College, New York, where he gradu ated, the most famous institution of its kind in the country. His diploma bears the writ ten indorsement of the medical authorities of New York, of the deans of prominent med ical colleges in Pennsylvania. Dr. Hall's credentials are no less abundantand nnqual lfled. He also is formally indorsed by the secretaries of various county and State medical societies. Both gentlemen, after thorough hospital experience and practice, have devoted their lives to the practice of their specialties, with what suo cess the columns of the daily papers show. In addition to the hich medical authorities quoted above, may be mentioneda Pittsburg medical authority, which is by no means to be depreciated. The diplomas of both gen tlemen bear the formal written Indorsement of the Western Pennsylvania Medical Col lege of Pittsburg. FBOH REPRESENTATIVE EE3IDEST8.
