At one Clark street gambling house in the convention proceedings ars ago a Kentucky man was per- mitted to win $5,000 at faro one night, s thu('hlu\;,o Tribune. The word P is used advisedly, as the truth of the story could be hu[l‘}()l‘lhfl by affidavits if the gamblers who put up the job could be induced to give away the facts in the case. Ho was o loud- mouthed man, this same Kentuckian, and lost no time in spreading the news of his good luck. As a consequence the Clark street house was )iterally jammed with visitors for the next few nluhtv. What was the next games were played without intermis- sion: not the ‘hghm( pretense of fair- ness was allowed. As a consequence the house was a steady and enormous winner. It is said that one night alone 20,000 was cleared up. The gamblers missed it in one partic- ular, however; they failed to rope in the Kentuckian again, as had been origin- ally plunned. One of the employes of the house had been intrusted with the jobof clinging to the man from the Blue Grass countiry until he could, in a day or two, induce him to return. But the gumblers made a wrong. caleulation; they misjudged the capacity of their friend to absorb Robertson county alongside of a native who literally had been brought up on the botile. So the employe fell by the ways'de; the Kentuckian was enticed into a little game of draw at a room in one of the hotels, and there he not only “dropped the roll” which he had gathered together in the gambling house, but all he could beg or borrow outside. e Over l"lve Hundred Rescued.

I AN ECCENTRIC ~ MUSICIAY. | Erratic Character of Liszt's Pupil and Son-in-Law. HIS RELATIONS WITH WAGNEI Cosimo Liszt, the Wite of Two Gen fuses—Amicable Relations With Her Divorced Husband — An Imprudently Caustic Pen. Von Bualow. London letter to the American Mu cian: Guido Hans von Bulow is the son of a German uovelist who,although well known in hisown country and in France. where his romaunces have been trans- lated has yet never taken a place in the oromost ranks of literary men. The future musician did not belie the usual traditions of genius. e was by his parents to become a 1 without reference to what.might have been the particular bent of his ineli tions, and in furtherance of this was sent for his first studies to Dres and then to study te Leipzig. Asu child he had shown remarkable apti- tude for music, and this taste had been fostered by a fervent admiration for Franz Liszt, then on a triumphant tour throughout Germany. In spite of the openly expressed disapprobation of his parents, young Bulow braved their dis- pleasure, and resolved' to call alone. and without introduction, on Liszt, and frankly ask his advice and opinion as to his musical abilities. He did 80 in 1848, when Richard Wagner was beginning to revolutionize the musical world. Liszt received the young man kindly, and promptly di covered in him a'nature whose ténden- cies and aspirations were akin to his own. He urged him to cast aside for- ever the forensic cap and gown and give himself up entirely to art, whatever obstacles might be placed in his way. An advice so congeniai to his wishes was implicitly followed. Hans von Bulow bec: uuu the pupil, the com- d, and eventually the It cannot honofi.]v be said that von Bulow was ever a model husband. He worsniped with fanatic devotion a mis- tress whose sway was more powerful than a wife’s—Music—and to her alone he remained constantly faithful, More- over, his intimacy with Wagner, the excessive and extravagant genius; with his father-in-law, whose romantic imagination indulged in fan- tastic flights, unfitted him more and more for & hum-drum conjugal life. In his exalted veneration for two such powerful and unconventional individu- alities,the young man became estranged from ox-dmnrv occupations and com- monplace duties; and when he passed from the heights of enthusiasm to the rosaic plain of domesticity he becomes irritable, violent, or morose. One day Cosima qulellym(ormcd him that she had grown weary of the life she led, and that she would no longer bear his continuous ill-temper. Furthermore, she announced not only her intention of obtaining adivoree.but of contracting another marriage. The man she had chosen was Richard Wagner, Bulow’s bosom friend. Liszt opened his arms to his second sou-in-law as warmly as he had opened them to the first, without, however, any abatement of his affection for Bulow. Stranger still, the two husbands saw no reason why Cosima’s determination bll()\llll alter in any way the tenor of their mutual friendship, which was -unuuucd on the old footing, and, as if everything was to be extraordinary in this singular episode, Mme. Richard Wagner, with the full consent of their father, carried away to her new home the tyo children born-of her union with Bulow. Later on, when she was lying dangerously ill at’ Lycerne after the birth of "a third son, she begged her second; husband - to send for the first, who was brought to her bedside by his successor. Bulow, once more unfettéred, availed himself of his legal liberfy to make a pilgrimuge (hmu;,h the ‘world, pre- ceded in every- fresh halting place by the reputation of his marvelous talent. He appeared to have undertaken a mis- sion of propaganda, and: sproad every- wher \h‘ knny\lu\]g(- of Wagner'scom- positions. As leader of the orchestr @ had conducted *Tristan aud [solde in mord than one German eity, and had requently taken a shave in the furious controversy then raging about the maestro’s works by wielding his pen to defend his'idol. The New Musical Ga- zette of Leipzig published his letter: which show remarkable literary and power. - However, Bulow’ was not exclusive in his appreciation. Catholic in his artistic taste, it was dae to him that the French composer, Berlioz, was s0 frequently heard beyond the Rhine— a noble homage to genius rendered by a German to un alien. In 1870, during the Franco-German war, he gave so pianoforte rec at Florence, interpreting with his rare talent Bach, Beethoven, Liszt, Wagner, Schumann, M udelssohn and Chopin. At each sitting he played for nearly three whole hours, and ‘always withou notes.
