At Buffalo Gap the wiiming interests are keeping up. Several claims have found “pay diet.” The biggest thing here is the “True Grit'® whetstone lode.

The Lion of Weimar, a Master at Whose Feet all Others Knelt, Silent Forever—A Mar- velous Career, In the death of Franz Lizst the world loses not only the greatest piano vittuo: of the century, but one of the most pecu- liar and fascinating s personali who have reigned i any era, Musician, composer and author, he achieved suc cess in each sphere. But as a man who interested the world by a puzzling ma netism and vitalized his figure in every imagination, he oct splendid and unique in artistic annals, Liszt was born at Raiding, in Hungary, October 29, 1811, son of & musician of considerable reputation, who educ him in his art from his earhest year: developed rapidly bis natural power his ninth year he played at a conee sburg, and wealthy nobles among Lis hearers assumed the expense of hiswider teaching for the next six years, during which he studicd at Vienna under Czerny under Reicha, great works of S. Bach. Before he was eleven he 1 aken Vienna and Munich by storm with his piuno performances, and at_the close of lus studies he traveled with his father in France and England with the perience of trinmph. 1 opera at fourteen, which was produced in Pavis, and would have be demned by the t*l',nsurnhi&r, it is smd, but for his youth, though why that shoul'l have saved an improper work 1s not plain. His father died in 1 and under the burden of that gricf and a previous passion tor a lady of rank, he fell into a state of melancholy which lasted for some years, and disposed him to religious pursuits, threatening to close his mus arcer at the outset. But he was pre ently drawn into the most brilliant society of Paris, and became intimate with George Sand, Chopin, Heme, Pauline Viardot, and at last began to write, com- posing in 1830 u “Revoluticnary Sym phony,” which made some stir, though it was not published. The comit of Paganini to Paris and his marvelous vio- lin playing aroused Liszt to actively re- sume his practice, inspirmg him with the ambition to beeome *‘the Paganini of the piano-forte,” as he has often since been calied He reti and devoted himself to ma strument, and when in 1835 § Thalberg flashed across Europ: ishing great aud with Ins splendid technique, Liszt re-entered the field and began a career of triumph never again interrupted, going 1 to coun- ; and making a sensation such as prob- ably never has greeted another pianist. At Les Italiens in’ Pavis he gave recitals alone for night after night. He used to have four pianos_on the stage, for pianos s not then built strong enough to sus- tain the treatment he gave them, and he sometimes would break the strings of all of them in one evening; then the ladies would beg for the broken nes and have bracelets made of them, T always he was adored by wome was then he met the Countess D’ a remarkable person, who had a reputa- tion as a writer on affairs under the name of “‘Daniel Stern.”” With her he lived for several years, and two daughters were born to”them, one of whom became the wife of Emile Olliver; the other married Hans von Bulow, and deserted him for Richard Wagner, being the noted Cosima of whose peculiaritics almost as many i told as of her husband aston- were not to his t ! icient- ly when at the height of hisunparalieled success he retired from the concert rooni and accepted the post of chapel-master and conductor at the modest court of Weimar. IHere he gathered around hnm a number of young and gifted musicians, nd founaed the school of pianists and compose: sociated with his name; for s a composer also Liszt now developed a power which his early works had scarcely foreshadowed, “These, almost exclusively written for the piano, h 1t is true, advanced the technigue of th instrument to a pitch previously un- known. At the s ime it 1s true that, as Wagner remarks, did at the piano what others do with pen and ink;”" that by reproducing the work of the it masters, he prepared himself tor original creation. The opera at Weimer under Liszt’s auspices beeame ihe home of such works as were written regardiess of immediate success, and therefo! hittle ¢ wing else Schubert’s **Alfonso and Estri mann’s Berlio: venuto ( ] i;m-r's “*Lohen- grin LIszt's auspices at Weimar, made Kapell- meister at Weimar, Honors came l‘|' upon him. The citizens of Oedenberg and Pesth presented him with the nsinp; the Hungarians gave a sword of honor; the king of Prussi him a member of law Order of Merit; the faculty at Konigsberg created him Jdoctor of music; the grand duke of Saxe-Weimar appointed him chaniber- lain; he was decorated with the Legion of Honor, and in 1861 was raised to com- mander; on April 25, 1865, he received the clerical tonsure i the chupel of the Vatican and beeame abbe. As a virtuoso, Liszt’s passing greatness may in after times grow as hazy as the reputation of Paganini as a violinist is now become. Many of the young people of the present generation, liowever, haye heard him, not, p , when youth and strength enabled him to meet every de- mand matchless ambition and boldness made upon him, long betore age and weakness robbed him of all his powers, or of a poetry and delicacy of expression without parallel, even in the judgment of those who remember Chopin and Gott- schalk. Their testimony will be suflicient for the next halt-century to bear out all that the writers of the past have said of Liszt as an executant. Tremendous vigor and endurance, unexampled softness of touch and an endless variety of tone were the chief clements of a style which ap- peared to vitalize everything that it touched, Though the piayer never as- serted himself “in his performances of Beethoven and the elassies, the effeet pro- duced was totally ditferent from that of the most skilled interpreter of the el ical masters, and a sortof co-creator with the dead composer appeared to rule the key-board. The uncommon perso magnetism of the man contributed 1 Iy to the influence of his playing, but Ius technique, if one could have had the sang-froid to analyze it, would have proved nothing short of marvelovs. Un- der the spell of this double charm a col blooded dissection of any of his perform- ances u fow years ago wius not to be thought of, It is ouly through a recol- leetion of these fucts thut the eccentric ties and well-nigh insurmountable cultios of many of his pisno piece be accounted “for.

The Weekly Resort of Young and Oid Who Appreciate the Ristorio and National Mcthod of Seventh-Day Recreation, [ Writh nday Bee] Ihe Stadt theater is the onoe theatrieal institution which can look into the vpast and claim the honor of having maine tamed, until to-day, an almost unbroken record from the earliest days of Omaha's spirations to eityhood. 1t is a modest, unpretentious strueture on the sonthwoest corner of Tenth and Howard streets, In front, it is a succession of stores, behind which the auditorium and stage scek the seclusion becoming their calling. In the years that have passed sinoe German theatricals were introduced into this city, this tittle space,with its boarded calls, suspended gallery and high stage, has been the Mecea of many a German on pleasure bent. Here, many a man, now his prime, saw his first play, danced his first waltz, first made love to the present sha of his joys, and then drank e with convivial friends in commeme ion of his nup- tials, n for the Omaha S Here, too, have actors of all degrees of rit appeared before the hghts. In the cliest days, the aspiving amatenr held swav with o gradual intermingling of those more acquamted with the profes- sion, To him no plays were too burden- some, 1o characterization 100 exacking, which the could not essay. Here, Schill ‘Robbers™ and Geisler's “Tell” have been immortalized. Here, too, the mask of Comus has bes ned by the wide contortions of the gling comedian. But the day of the amateur passed away and, following it, came that of the professional, who for many years has had things nearly his own w: in poasession, and bids long to retain the hola which hé has upon the appreciation of his admirers. One tribute to his gen- iug s that, from year’s beginning to years’s end, at least one night during the year, there is at this place of amuse- ment a dramatic performance in German of fascinating terest and exceeding arustic merit, It i ow, rain, blow high or low, terrify with heat or lower with storm cloud, the play goes on and rarely with- out an audience of an appreciative and diseriminating nature. In the winter, these performances take place in the theatre referred to. It 1s comfortable, supplied with every needed accommoda- tion, and with a stage stocked with scen- ery ble of satisfactorily setting almost every scene known to_the drama- tic world.
