GENERAL CLAY'S FTKST DOTH.
"When did you have your first duel,
General?' I asked.
"My first duel," replied General Clay,
"terminated without either party firing a
fhof. It occurred when I wan 23, 68 years
ago. I was engaged to be married and I
had a rival suitor, who, in spite of mv suc
cess, wrote a letter to my sweetheart's
mother in which he made a number of ob
noxious charges concerning me. The letter
should have been shown mo, but the mother
of my affianced wife did not hand it to me and
asked me to explain it. I ex
plained it by going to Louisville
on the huut for the man who had written it.
lie was a doctor, and his name was De
clarey. A friend of mine went with me,
and as soon as we got to the city I went into
n cooper shop and got a good tough hickorv
cane about as big around as your finger. I
tvir Dr. Declarey on the street, and went
up to him and and asked him if his name
-was Declarey. He replied that it was, and
then I told him I would like to have a talk
with him. This was on one of the main
streets of Louisville, and though I intended
to cane him, I did not want to do it where a
crowd would rush in and prevent my giving
him the punishment he deserved, so I
quietly turned our promenade off into a
Fide street. In the meantime, my friend,
Tames S. llollins, afterwards noted during
the war as General Kollins, walked along
the other side of the street and watched me.
GOX IK SOME GOOD BLOWS.
""When I had gotten Declarey into a cross
street, I said, 'Dr. Declarey, I am Cassius
M. Clay, about whom you have taken the
trouble to write in this "letter, and I would

like to know whether vou can give me any
.explanation of vour action.' I then showed
Irim the letter, tiut he said nothing. I then
raised my cane and began to caneTiim. He
cried out and a crowd soon collected, but
Jlollins, bv spreading out his arms and run
ning in again and anin pretending to seper
nte us, actually kept back the crowd until I
"was able to give him a good caning.
"I expected that Declarey would chal
lenge me and I had brought Kollins along
to act as my second. I was not disap
pointed. A few hours after the caning I
pot 3 challenge. "We fixed a place in
Indiana, just over the river, and the time
was the next day, When we got there we
found that there was a great mob of De
rlarey's friends there on the ground, and
General Kollins refused to allow the fight
1o go on. "We thereupon chose another
place, but Declarey's mob followed us there.
The next day was to have been my wedding
day, and I had to go to meet it.
rXDED IS DECLAKET'S suicide.
"Declarey wanted me to come back after
7 was married, but I decidedly objected to
treating tip my honeyrnoon'in this way.
He afterward said that he intended to cow
liide me the next time he saw me, and I
vent to Louisville to give him a ch-mce. I
went to his hotel, but he was not in the
dinmg room and had not yet come into
dinner. I waited for an hour but he did
not come and I then went int' thedining
loom and leaned against the pillar intend
ing to wait lor mm. As i stood tnere i
heard someone rise behind me. I turned
raid saw Declarey. He was as i3le as death
rind I saw the Dominick in him. He did
not hold my eye but got up and went out.
1 staved for a short time longer and finding
that he did not intend to fight, went back
Iwine. A man who acted in this way, could
not at that time be respected in Kentucky,
and Declarey committed suicide the next
evening by cutting his arteries."
"It is a" curious thing," mused General
Clay, as he poked up the dying embers of
Ihefire into a glow, "that a mail will have
the bravery to commit suicide and still not
liave enough physical courage to fight. I
have had a number of such instances in mv
life.
PLANTED CANNON ON THE TABL3.
"It was so with Tom Marshall, who was
so famous as an orator in Kentucky. There
las been for vears a ieud between the Clays
nnd the MarOialls. Henry Clay, you know,
liad a duel with Humphrey Marshall, and
Tom Marshall aad mvself were enemies for
years. My first trouble with him was at the
vime I was the editor of the True American,
and Marshall headed the mob which was
raised to kill me and demolish the paper.
J got two four-pound brass cannon and put
ihem up in my office, and loaded them with
thot and nails'. I had them on a table, and
their mouths were jut as high as a man's
breast, and they faeect the door. If a mob

Into it, and 1 had inside of t!ie office also a
keg of ponder, which I expected to blow up
with a match and send mv enemies into
eternity If they succeeded in cauturlng the
ofllce.
"Well, the mob attacked me. but I was
not killed. Some time alter this I went to
the Mexican War as Captain of n company
Tom M rshall was Captain of nnother com
pany of the same regiment, aud I decided to
j-ettle my trouble with him before we got
tii.ough the war.
INSULTED IX THE CAMP.
"He was drunk about half ttie time, and 1
believe he often cultivated drunkenness in
or-Jer to enable him to say mean things and
riot to be called to account for them. I ex.
Iz-cled to hai e a duel with lilm, and I got a
s 'no anil sharpened my sword until it shone
likt Fill er and had an edgo like a razor. I
grr him one or two chances to challenge
toe, but he did not do so, and at lat one day
v. tiei e ere pitching camp Marshall rode

aud'madc some insulting remark.
' I roe and s.iid: 'Tom Marshall, wemay as
well kettle our feud,and now is a3 Rood a time

"He replied, "Not now: some other time.'
"1 here drew my sword and sald 'The time

account of yoursunoundlngs.'
Marshall hereupon rode over to his tnt.
In a few momenta he cam back with his
pistol I saw him and went into my tent
and got mine. I came out with one in each
hand. Thcv were cocked and I said, 'I am
rcaay for vou.'

"He was a coward and he was afraid to

drown himself In the Bio Grande, but the
men saw him and prevented him. lie was
afraid to fight, hut ho was not afraid to com
mit suicide. Had wo fought with swords I
would have carved him up like a pan cake."
"Do you remember any other instances!"
"Yos," replied General Clay, "I suppose I
ootid give others. It is curious that oven
a Dravo man when bo Is once beaten hates
to encounter tho same man again. I can
only explain tho fact that I was not chal
lenged by Sam Brown after our terrible fight
on these grounds."
"What was the light. General?"
"It arose out of a Congressional contest,"
replied General Clav. '! ai candidate
nirainst a man named Wickliffe , and Wick
lilTe introduced mv- ife's tiamo into ono of
his speeches. I challenged him, and we fired
at ten paces. Both of us missed, and I raised

my pistol up into the air and demanded a
second lire."
NO BALLS IN TIIE PISTOLS.
"The seconds would not permit this, and
we left tho ground without a reconciliation
or an apology on either side. As I look over
the matter now, I don't believe that our
seconds had loaded the pistols with balls,
and I did not see how I could have missed.
I was an excellent shot, and was accustomed
to shooting with a rifle anda revolver. One
of my favorite amusements was squirrel
shooting, and I could shoot tho heads off of
II out ot 12 squirrels when out hunting. You
know if a squirrel sees you and runs up a
tree, and you remain quiet, as soon as he
gets into whatever it considers a safe place,
lie will poke his head out nnd look to
see wheieyouare, and the skill in squirrel
shooting is to shoot oS the head of the
squirrel."
"Well. Wickliffe here had tho worst of the
fight, and during the canvass for Congress I
was making a very good opposition to him,
much to tho disgust of the Pro-Slavery
party, He had a hnndbill which he read
during his speech. We had our speeches
together, nnd when he brought out this bill
I always rose and asked if I might Interrupt
him. lie would politely consent, and I
would then say the handbill ho had read
was untrue and had been proven so.
1HEY WANTED HIS BLOOD.
"The pro-slavery men got tired of this and
they decided to kill me. They sent for Sam
Brown, who was one of the most noted bul
lies of Kentucky. It is said that he nadhad
40 fights and never lost a battle. Brown
came and he and 'Wickliffe, a fellow named
Jacob Ashton, and Ben Wood.a police bully,
held a consultation at which they loaded a
pistol w hieli Brown was to use upon me
the next dav. I knew nothing of this, and I
had not mv'dueling pistols with me. I in
terrupted Wickllffo a usual, and as I did
so. Brown struck me with his umbrella and
told mo that my statement was alio. I saw
at once that it meAnt fight, and when I
lecognized Brown I knew it meant a fight to
the death.
"I had a long sharp bowle knife in the
breast of my coat, and I 'jerked this ont, but
betoro I could strike Brown's fi lends
grabbel my arms from behind and hauled
me back about 15 feet from Brown. Brown
now pulled his revolver nnd told them to
pet out of the way and to let him kill me.
The crowd got back and I stood alone.
Brow-n had his pistol pointed at me and I
started toward him. I could see htm look
ing along the ban el of the revolver.
I-OCGHT AriEE IIE -WAS SHOT.
"Ho took aim and waited until he thought
I was close enough to give him a sure shot
and then fired. 1 felt the ball strike me in
the breast and I thought it had gone through
me, and I determined to kill him if I conld
before I died. I came down on his head
with a tremendous blow with the bowie
knife, but did not split open his skull. I
strnck again and again and stunned him so
that he was not able to fire. With one cut
of tho knife I sliced his nose richt in two,
so that it separated in the middle and came
out as flat as a pancake. 'With another blow
I cut off his ear. so that it hung by a shred,
and with a third I put out hi eye.
"The conspirators now seized me and I
was strnck with hickory sticks and chairs,
some of the blows of which I still feel. I
broke loose trom my captors and again
made for Brown, and they, to keep him out
of my way, picked him up and threw him
over a stone fence about seven lect high,
and this ended the fight. Though I was the
assaulted party, they aftcrwaid tried me
for miyhcm, and at this trial Brown con
fessed the consnimcy and Henry Clay de
fended me. Or course I was not convicted,
but I felt very Iriendly to Bron and I
wiote him a note thanking him for his evi
dence and telling him I was willing to be
friends with him if he cared to be so.
TOOK ALL HIS qOUKAGE.
"He refused, however, to bury the hatchet,
and when I remembered his condition, I did
not wonder at it. The doctors had patched
him up pretty "well, but he was a horrible
looking object, and I expected that be would
Insist upon a duel with me or would attack
me and have his revenge. I met him several
times afterwnid howevei. and he never
touched me. I lim e no doubt that he staj cd
in Lexington Intending to kill me, but the
probability is that ho had not the courage to
attack me7'
"Where did Brown's ball strike you, Gen
eral?" said I.
"It struck me just over the licart," replied
General Clay, "ana I would have been killed
bat for one thing. The scabbard of my
bowie knife wa tipped with silver, and in
jerking tho knifrj 1 pulled this scabbard up
to that it was jut over my heart. Brown's
bullet struck the scabbard and imbedded
itself in the silver, and we found the ball
thci-;. There was a red spot just over my
heart and the whole seemed almost Provi
dential." WITHIN AN ACE Or DEATH.
After General Clay had said this, he
leaned his head on his hand and looked for
some moments into the fit o in deep thought.
He was apparently living the fight over
again, and I interrupted him and asked him
if he had ever been so close to death since
that time. Ho replied: "I don't know, but I
think I have been within an ace of death a
half dozen times since mv fight 'with Brown.
I was neaily killed within a mile of this
house at Foxtown, the cross roads, where
you turned off from the pike to come Into
White Hall.
"This was during one of the political cam
paigns, during 1S49, and when I was having
a sort of a political discussion with a man
named Turner. We spoke together and I
was against slavery and Turner was for It.
All the slave holders were with Turner, and
I knew that my situation w as a dangerons
ono. I carried my pistols with me every
where, but at Foxtown I left them in my
carpet bag and was armed only with my
bowie knife. At this meeting, oar debate
grew very hot, nnd Turner's son rushed in
nnd struck me a'nd told me I lied. I knew
this meant a fight and that'there was a con
spiracy against me. I drew my bowie knife,
but was seized by about 20 of the conspira
tors and hauled back and my knife was
jerked from me.
A BATTLE TO THE DEATH.
"I first thought that the men were only
trying to prevent a fight and I did not make
much resistance. But as soon as I lost my
knife, they began to pound me with clubs

THE
and someone behind me stabbed me in the
breast reaching around In front. The knife
entered mv lung. It cutv apart my breast
bone aud t bled like a stuck pig. I thuuzht
I was killed, and I determined to kill the
man who incited the mob. I grabbed my
bowie kntlo in my flngers.catchinc It by tho
blade and the bundle and cutting the flesh
through to the bone. You can see tho soars
now," and with that General Clay held out
his hand on the two fingers of which weio
seen great whito scars" where the bowie
knife had cut them.
"Well, I got the knife and I flourished it
around my head with my bloody hands.
Tho crowd disappeared as I cried out, get
outofthe way, and I rushed for Turner. I
cut him in the abdomen, but as I drew tho
iviuio irom mm, almost laintcu irum mo
loss of blood, and fell saving I died for tho
liberties of my countryl At this time my
boy ran in with my revolvers, but it was too
late and I could not use them.
WHAT NOETnERN PEOPLE SAid.
The crowd thought I was dead and tnis
saved my life. They carried me home and I
lay between life and death for some days.
I did not think I was going to die, and I
would not let the doctor touch me. I would
not let them change my clothes, and I lay
for days drenched in blood. After some
time, however, I began to mend, my wounds
healed and I got well again. As for Turner,
ho died.
"This affray canscd mnch discussion among
the Abolitionists of the North, and not a few
of them criticised me not a little severely
for fighting. They thought I ought to have
submitted and let them kill me, and Dr.
Bailey, the editor of a paper in Washington,
said I would have done a great deal of good
to the cause if I had died, and remarked
that the blood of the faithful is the seed of
the church.' "
As he said tills rather a humorous bnt vin
dictive smilo spread oyer General Clay's
face, and he paid his respects to the New
England Abolitionists in language that was
both emphatic nnd graphic He referred
also to the ingratitude of the negro for the
kindnesses w hich were done to him by the
whites, and I asked him as to the killing of
Perry White.
KILLED IN SELTVDEFRNSE.
General Clay has perhaps done more for
the negro than any other man In the South.
Ho freed his slaves and fought for the abo
lition of slavery, when no other man dared
to speak or act for them. After tho iV arwas
over ho camo back to Kentucky and lived
quietly t White Hall, devoting his chief
time to study. He had with him his adopted
son, Launey Clay, a little boy of four, whom
he brought with him from Russia, and he
lived alnno with Launev and his servants at
White nail.
His servants robbed him right and left.
They stole his silver and his furattuie, and
systematically plundered his plantation.
They poisoned his son and attempted to
poison him, and when ho discharged them
one ot them threatened to murder him. Clay
warned him to keep off of the place.
White lett, but sent letters saying he in
tended to kill Clay. One morning, when out
riding, General Clav saw him on his planta
tion, concealed in the woods. General Clay
jumped from his horse, nnd, believing thnt
tho negro intended to kill him, diew his re
volver, got the drop on him and told him to
throw up his hands. He then began to give
him a lecture and to ask him why he had
threatened his life, when Ferry White p ut
down bis -hands and
JERKED OUT niS PISTOL.
General Clay then fired and struck the
negro in the neck. He fired a second time
and shot him through tho heart. He was
tried for the shooting, but was acquitted on
the ground of self-defense. I walked with
General Clay over the place where the shoot
ing occuiieu. It was within a stone's throw
of the house, anil the General said that he
had no doubt that ho would have been a
dead man it he had not killed White.
Ueneral Clay is now nearly 82 years of age.
But he is still a dangerous man to foal nlth.
Quiet m his mien andgentle in his conversa
tion, he would resent an insult as quickly
to-day as when he was in his prime, and in
sell-defense, I am suro he would be equal to
two average men of half his years. It is
rlow only a few years ago since he came
very near having a duel with Julian Haw-
tnoine, tne novelist, iiawtnorne nau re
viewed a copy of General Clay's memoirs,
and in his review had criticised Ciay se
verely, and had discussed the subject of the
chastity of his wife. Said General Clay: "I
was very angry. I did not believo that I
could mako anything out of the man by
suing him, and 1 determined to make him
apologize or fight.
BROUGHT HAWTHORNE TO TIME.
"I wrote to Colonel W. G. Terrell, of Wash
ington, asking him to act as my second, and
I also wrote to Whitelaw .Keid Inclosing a
letter to Hawthorne, which I asked him to
publish if his relations toward Hawthorne
were such that he could do so without affect
ing them. In this letter I told Mr. Haw
thorne that the article which he had pub
lished concerning me, in which he had used
the name of my w ire, was false, and that he
had attributed language in that article to
me which I had never uttered, and that I
demanded an unequivocal le traction of
everything he had said about her in the ar
ticle, and tha this retraction should be so
published that it would have as wido a cir
culation as his article had had.
"I told him that I would give him an op
portunity of withdrawing his allegations,
and my letter was so written that between
the lines you could see that I meant he
would have to fight if he did not withdraw
them. Well, 1 sent the letter to Mr. Keid.
He replied that he was a friend of Haw
thorne's nnd that he could not publish the
letter, but that he would lefer it to Haw
thorne. Hawthorne got the letter and ap
preciated the situation. He wrote a retrac
tion that was perlcctly satisfactory and pub
lished it. This ended the matter.
TVOULD DAVE SIIOT HIJL
"Had ho not done so I would have chal
lenged him, and if he had refused to accept
the challenge I would have shot him on tho
streets. As to what bis article said about
me, I did not care. It was bitterandunjust,
but I am accustomed to such attacks. I did
object, however, to what he said about my
family, and 1 made htm retract his remarks
concerning my wife."
By this time tho Are had burned low in the
great open fireplace. The hands of the clock
on the mantel pointed to the hour of 12, and
tbo General arose, and gave me a light, tell
ing me he thought it was time for us to re
tire. Before leaving I asked- him what he
thought or tho Code Duello. He replied:
"I am opposed to it on principle, and I
think it is a savage way of settling a diffi
culty, but there nro some cases for which it
seems to be tho only remedy, and I don't
know whether it is a good thing or not. In
all my life I have never courted tt-quarrel,
and in tlie ca-e of Tom Marshall he began
the feud by attacking mo at Lexington. I
believe Itis a man's duty to defend himself
when attacked, and such encounters as I
have had have been brought about by
my enemies. - Fexmi G. uarpehteb.

THE MUSIC WORLD.
Favorable Auspices Under Which the
Mozart Club Begins the Season,
ITSHOUSE WARMING NEXTFRIDAY.
The Inaugural Concert of tho New Con
servatory Was a Success.
A SHORT BUDGET OF GENERAL NEWS
Pittsburg's most valued musical organiza
tion, the Mozart Club, is entering upon this
season's activity (its fourteenth is it not?)
under more favorable conditions and with
brighter prospects than ever before.
Thanks to the generosity of its President,
Mr. H. C. Prick, the club is now provided
with elegant and commodious quarters, that
will, no doubt, compare favorably with
those of any similar institution in the coun
try. The entire upper floor of the re
modeled Hostetter building, No. 77 Fourth
avenue, has been arranged to suit the re
quirements of the club.
The main rehearsal room measures 58x30
feet, a size amply sufficient for a chorus of
200 voices, well within which limit 'the
club is wisely resolved to remain for years
to come. A movable dais, roomy music
closets and other minor conveniences help
to fit this room for its purposes. Across
the hall is a suite comprising two good
sized parlors, about 20 feet square, each
with adjoining toilet room; also, between
the parlors, two smaller rooms, of which
one "is set apart as the supreme
executive chamber where the directors and
committees will sit in state. The rooms
are all furnished and fitted up in a really
luxurious manner; the carpets, rugs, cur
tains, desks and general furniture are very
rich and tasteful. The walls are adorned
with mirrors, busts, paintings and portraits
of famous composers and several leading
men of the club. Very appropriately, the
most prominent of these adornments is an
admirable life-size oil portrait of the club's
patron saint, Mozart, done by Mr. Charles
SValz.
As the club's own use of the room1! will be
chiefly at night, they can be utilized for
leaciuug purposes uuring me uuy. jurs.
Kate Morgan Smith, Mr. James P. Mc
Collum, Mr. Beveridge Webster, Mr. John
Prichnrd and Mr. Kinehart Mayer have
already bespoken accommodations, leaving
an opening for two or three others on cer
tain days.
The house-warming will come off next
Friday evening, when the club will enter
tain its friends and patrons in an informal
sociable fashion. There will be some music,
a few vocal solos, probably, besides the
playing of the orchestral department of the
club. A very pleasant evening will doubt
less be spent.
The season's campaign will include the
customary series of five concerts, to each of
which every associate member receives two
tickets in return for his $10 subscription.
If the conditions chiefly the financial con
ditions are auspicious, an extra concert
is likely to be given in March.
For the first concert, to be given
about November 10, Massenet's "Eve" is in
rehearsal; it will be prefaced with some
standard overture. At Christmastide the
"Messiah" will again be given, as it should
be at that appropriate season every year.
The third and fourth concerts will be given
on successive evenings in May with the aid,
probably, of the Boston Symphony Orches
tra, as in past seasons. For one of these
evenings Berlioz's "Damnation of Faust"
is being considered; the other evening will
be chiefly devoted to orchestral works. The
ballad concert in Jnne will close the series.
All who have watched the steady progress
made by the Mozart Club in past years will
rejoice in the improved conditions now so
generously provided for its work, well as
sured that the unselfish enthusiasm of Con
ductor James P. McCollum and the other
active workers in the club will bring forth
still richer artistic results as the seasons
roll on.
A
A Very Pleating Programme.
Scores of people were turned away from
the doors of the new Duquesne Conserva
tory of Music last Thursday evening, when
the first of the series of faculty concerts
was given. Omitting the two elocutionary
numbers, which were out or place in a
concert of that grade, and are to be blamed
for its undue length, the programme was as
follows:
Homage a Hiindel Duo for two nIanoi..Moseheles

Mr. Papenbrock and Mr. Ketter.
An earlier engagement prevented the
writer from hearing the first thiee numbe s
of this interesting programme. Jadassohn's
concert piece is a pleasant token of the re
vival of interest in the long-neglected
wood-winds on the part of prom
inent modern composers; such a
work is infinitely superior to the
cheap clap-trap affected by most of the trav
eling rlute virtuoti. Mr. William Guenther
deserves credit for his good taste, both in
the choice and in tho artistic playing of tho
work, although in ceitainty ot execution
and purity o( tone he was on this evening
not up to his former high standard. It
seemed as if ho was somewhat hampeied by
tho strangeness of his patent mouth-piece,
changing entirely the position of the instru
ment, though one hearing could not abso
lutely determine that point.
Mr. Charles Davis Carter's song is for tho
first two stanzas an eminently melodious
and singable ballad; the third verso seemed
on first hearing to wander from the text and
lost definite effectiveness theieby. Dr. W.
T. English was evidently not at his bet, his
agreeable, sympathetic tenor being
affected with a distressing tremolo: nor was
he letter perfect in his notes. Thoro is al
ways, however, an emotlonnl warmth in this
singei's work that causes the audi
once to overlook the blemishes.
Mr. Carl Better played once more that
beautiful and musicianly set of variations
bv Bcrnhard Scholtz, a woik of the kind
that ought to be seen on the virtuoso's pro
grammes in place of some of the frothy fire
works, bono water had been spilled In tho
pianoforte Just before the concert, unfor
tunately for Mr. Hotter, who did tho best
that could be expected with the damp
dampers.
Miss Sadie E. Eltts, the only performer
outside the faculty of the Conservatory, dis
played a soprano of a clear, sweet quality
and of much power in the lower registers,
though a bit thin at the top. Her stvle
showed the results of good schooling "in
deed, the schooling was too apparent;
the singer seemed not yet to have
leached the complete mastery of her
resources required by Mr. Meyerbeer's
way of expiosslug a .despairing
ap -eal to the idol of one s heart. Miss Julia
Beach's voice is a dramatic soprano, of con
siderable range and caliber; rather too big.
It seemed, for her to accomplish a good
mrwiMoee. She is to be accredited win un
usually clear enunciation ana much ai tUtio
sincerity; the timidity natural to a
debut among strange surroundings
may account for a certain lack
of freedom and abandon in her
singing. Mr. Ad M. Foerster .played the ac
companiment for his own songs, tho first of
which is a particularly fluent and singablo
ballad of tho higher ort, while the second Is
a broad, dramatic composition, with many
striking points and thrilling passages, but
which 'omehow seemed lacking in coher
ence and unity.
Tho feature of the evening was Grieg's
glowing nnd Intensely modern sonata for
violin and pianoforte. Mr. Waldemar
Papenbrock Is a very recent and, It would
seem, a decidedly valuable acquisition to
the ranks of our violinists. His tone, while
not at all large, Is pure and sympathetic;
his . Intonation Is much above the
ordinary level; a good school is ap
parent In all his playing, which
is, moreover, clean and correct to a degree.
His treatment of the Grieg piece was not
exactly brilliant the allegro con brio espe
cially called for more Are anda stronger
accentnation but it was faithful, musician
ly and generally satisfying. The in
termingled pathos and grace of the
allegretto were well brought out, and
SUNDAY OCTOBER 11,
In the brilliant finale the player
warmed to his work right heartily. Mr.
Ketter handled the difficult pianoforte part
excellently well under the adverse condi
tions and deserves his full share I of credit
for the enjoyment afforded through Grieg's
superb composition.
Altogether the concert was a very auspi
cious Inaugural for tho new conservatory,
which promises to rank high among Pitts
burg's artlstio institutions-
Crotchets and Quavers.
Jin. Homer Moore, whose project of a per

"The Little Ttcoon" sung by a .company

"The rATr.OL," a melodrama which
achieved a very considerable amount of

The play was given in this city last season

I was introduced to Ellen Terry by 3Jr.
Edward Greer, an old friend of hers, in his
bric-a-brac shop, says Lew Eosen. The ac

the time, toying with a big, pink vase. Her
fnce was worn nnd rouged, her hair of 41
suspicious blonde tint, but her smile was
cheery and her voice music. "Yes, lt' true,"
she said in reply to my query, "I do oc

Masaoer Davis, of the Alvln Theater, and
Slr.E.S.'Willard's agents have arranged with
the railroad authorities for a special excur
sion rate of one cent a mile from all the
pottery towns contiguous to Plttsburgfor Sat
urday of next week, and on that day the pot
ters in large number will come In to witness
Mr. Willard's impersonation of Cyrus Btenk
arn, an old potter, in "The Middleman."
This arrangement is the outgrowth ofa letter
from Charles Dargne, Secretary of the Na
tional Brotherhood of Operative Potters,
nskingthat a special matinee be given on
Thursday (which is excursion dav), or that
railroad rates he fixed for Saturday, when
Mr. Willard's only matinee will be given.
An audience made up entirely of potters
was one of the features of "The Middle
man's" long run in London.
Terrace In Hallway "Work.
An illustration of what can be done in the
way of overcoming the disadvantages of
sliding land was recently given in'a railway
cutting in Southern palifornia. The road
passes through a cut wLich is about 120
feet deep, the nature of the soil making
such a cut preferable to a tunnel. The
strata at this point are at such an inclina
tion that the material on the upper side of
the cut is maintained firmly in place, while
that on the lower side has a decided in
clination to slide down and fill up the open
ing. Though this occurs in wet, in dry
weather the stratum is as firm as
rock. After an exceptionally heavy rain it
was decided to take some radical step
towards remedying the evil, and the surface
of the side of the cut that had a tendency to
elide, was cut into steps or terraces, 25 feet
high and 25 feet wide. These were covered
with red wood boards sloping one to three,
and Suitable wocden troughs or gutters
were provided to carry to tMfe end of the
cut the water that fell upon the terraces.
By this means the earth is kept perfectly
dry, and the sliding has been completely
stopped.
