Aside from Signor Ramiero Barigti, who no longer warbies in publie, but is teaching Americans hero, may be mentioned in particular Mr. Chievers of Dotroit, Mich., who has uchieved guite a succoss in Italian operatic circlos. Ho 1s booked for Venice, to commence about October 1, as Mephistophles in “‘Faust.” D.

Of aspecial _commission recently sent to uropo by the United States Troasury depart- ment, to investigate the causes of European emigration to America I mot hero Messrs. Powderly, -Cross and Schultz, Theso odern ambassadors or inspectors (any title will fit their efforts) go about to consular pasots to roquest coples of roports, tho riginals of which are already lodged with the State department, putting in the rest of their time in *‘doing"’ the towns and paymng 80 francs to40 francsa day at the most extravagant hotels.

To my absoluto knowledzo Ican cortify thatin Milan, at least, thoy did more for restaurants (espe pecially thoso with girls iu_them) than for the government which sent them here, L THERAPEUTICS, New “Medico-Musical Theory Tested in London, [Copiriaht 1891 by James Gordon Bennett.| Loxpoy, Oct. 3.—[New York Herald Cablo-Special to Tur Bre.|—As the com mitton which is just now trylng to introduce music as a medicine for the sick in the Lon- @on hositals has conveyed the impression 1o the public that Horbert Spencer suggested theiden, Icalled upon tho great pniloso- pher yesterday. Tho story had been going around London that Mr, Spencer is enthus- fastic over the idea of using musio in Amer. foa to strengtuen the nerves of people pros- trated by too intense application to business. It was asserted that over siuce the piloso pher's last visit to New York, whon he announced what ho called the *'Gospel of Rest and RRecreation,” ho had been suxious 1o do something useful for Americans and that he had hit upon musio as a good agency. Mr. Spencer received me in his study, one of the most charming rooms I have ever seen. Ho has just returned from s country home, where he was obliged to seek rest and strongth after the enormous mental labor which he performed in writing his last pro found work on othics. His eye was bright, his color good, his figure erect, his stop elas: tia. After seéing hum it is rathor puzzling to hear bhim say that ho cannot enage in intel- loctual labors now without surious conse Qquences to his heaith. When I told Mr. Spencer that the Herald WAS anxious to lay before the public the cir- oumstances under which be came to the con clusion that music might prove an important agent in the treatment of sickness, he ussurod me that he was not in any way responsible for the new movement. Not Original With Spencer. 1 aldu’t suggest the idea at all,” he said, #and 1 was surprised to find that my name had been publicly mentioned in connection withit. The fact is, the committee having tho watter in oharge wrote me a lotter ask g for my opinion as to whether solemn or xhilerating musio woula be the more benetl Sl 0 Tho arecn whoes b aries mors Deask enoa by illuess. I looked over the programme which thoy seut me and wrote back to say, 1 thought that exbilirating music would be the most likely to produce gooa results. That's my entive connection with the experi- meat. 1'would not care to be drawn into & disoussion of the subject nor to engage In any coatroversy. I have been exceedingly carefil not to overburden myself with any sort of mental effort." This robs the music medicine experiment of its most important credential, although Bir Andrew Clark has contributed to the cominittee and has written favorably about bueoxperiment. Soveral American physicians aro studying the 1dea for the purposs of in- e cing it in Amerieca, hie general verdict at the rehearsal in tho Westminister Palace hotel on Monday was distinetly favorable. I sat besido a New York physician who had come to hoar tho music, and learned from him that in his opinion there could be r.o doubt that with the proper kind of selections great results could be reached in many cases of nervous disenses The main thing was to discover what sort of muslic is most restful and most stimulating. How the Theory Was Tested. Thore was a huge soreon stretched across the hall. On the s,de of 1t sat the musicians with their conductor and on the otuer side the audience which listened to the strains from an invisible choir. At the end of every pieco the vencrable secretary of the commit- tee would step from behind the screen, ex pluin the character of the music and state why it had been selected and give the result of the experiments made in the wards of the hospitals, The effect of the whole performance wns soothing bus father wearying. The voice of the soprano was disagreeable in quality and frritating, The chief fault of the music taedicine is that it is impossible to find ward full of patients where the patients are 50 much alike that a particular kind of music would bo suited to all. Lively, flippant and sprightly measures might irritate some, while soft, solemn music might cause patients of moroso temperament to become melancholy and weep. This was very apparent in the contrast betweemsthose for piano_and violin of a most lively’ character, ind Schumann’s beautiful music written to Robert Herrick's words: “Charm mo asleop and meit me so with Thy delicious numbers that, being rav- ished hence, I go away in casy slumoers.” The effect of the lullaby was sleep-inducing, whilo the aliegro sounded sharp, .lmosj barsh. But the most startling evidence effect of inappropriate music to the audience when a_hurdy-gurdy in stroot outside the hotel struck up ‘“The Wearing of the Gieen " Every one in the room seemed startied by the incongruous sound. ‘P'he audience was in one mood and the music was in another. Objections to the Idea, The New Yorl doctor pointed this out to mo as an objection to the system of musical theraupeutics. As the sick man's mood is hard to understand and so many various moods would exist in the same ward that music that mignt seem angelic to one would jar and distu’ b another. The ancient secretary frankly acknowl edged in his comments on the music that the management of various hospitals objected to having experiments made in wards, Ho gave some statistics showing tbe different effect music had on the sexes. Inthe malo ward, after lively music and soft music had been alternately plaved, a bed to bed canvass was made in order to learn tbe verdict of the patients. The sick men were nearly divided in opinions, although the majority were in favor of soft music. In the female ward, where the same experiment was made, nearly all the patients decided in favor of soft music. My medical friend said this showed very clearly that soft music was, as & rule, moré suited for extremely nervous peopls, notwithstanding Herbert Spencer’s opinion, The secretary declares that the nurses in St. Pancreas were requestod to find out what sort of musio the children preferred. Tho girls all favored music boxes, but the boy: were in favor of tin tea trays to beat upon. The verdict of the boys was rather disheart- ening to the committee. Tho doctor, continuing his remarks to me, said ho did not think the playing of music in wards would resultin any great success. His idea was that phtients snould bo_whore they underwent music treatment. In that way a sick man_might bo soothed and com- forted when drugs failed, but it was very important not to injureoue patient while benefitting another, of the was the shock the CRISIS NARROWLY AVERTED, Europe Indeed On the Verge of a Bloody War. L Copuright 1501 1y James Gordon Bennett.] Benuiy, Oct. 3.—|New York Herald Cable —Special to Tur Ber.|—Never before has the outlook in Wilhelm strasso been more peaceful than at tho present moment, but I learn from almost impeachable authority that it is tho calm which not only precedes, but which sometimes comes after the storm, for I am today in a position to send youa most startling and dramatic history, refor. ring to the narrow escape Europe had this summer from being plunged into war, which fairly appals strong nerved statesmen who, only within the last week, have beon ap- prised of tho great danger pow happily averted. The roaders of the Herald have doubt- less romarked on the recent protestations, so formally and ostentatiously anuounced, first by Cannevusk, then by the chancellor of the empire, General Caprivi, and again by Horr Von Boetticher, the Prussian secretary of stato for tho interior. They both declared that “at no time has peacoe been so surely guaranteed as at pres- ont.” Morcover the obnoxious passport regulations of Alsace-Lorraine were anuulled av the very momeut that theso official spoeches were being made and the German foreign office papers, for onco forgotting the maxim *Qui s'excuse, s'accuse,’” aunounced that this measure was intended s an _offset. This chorus of peaceful politicians, coming without any apparent cause, was almost like a bolt from u blue sky and set many persons to toinking, Appearances Deceiving. I havo now authority to say that had it not been for the excellent womauly senso of Queen Victoria and the sound judgment of the czar, who in the moment of emergency actod with perfect accord, Europe would perbaps at this moment have been in the throes of war. The facts are that last sum- mer when the emperor was at Osborne, he one evening asked tho queen to accord him a contfidential conversation upon a matter ot the utmost importance. The request was accorded and the emperor said, in substance: “1 have something on my mind. I seek your counsel. The situation in Goriany is intol- erablo. It cannot last twelve months longer. The country cannot bear the present finan cial strain required to keep up the present tighting strength. Socialism is daily assum ing more terrivle proportions. Gormany’s allics, especially [taly, aro no longer able to keep up the present pace. The strain is too groat. Frauce, on the contrary, is becoming stronger and stronger, but Fraice is isolated. It is absofutely necessars that Germany should seize the Arst occasion to_declare war upon her. Tho latest moment at which this can possibly be put off is the spring of 1502 The queen listened attentively to ull the emperor said and replied: “As long as I live, I firmiy hope peace will be mantained. T am now old, but still I fesi my last years shall not be saddened by more blood flow- ing in Europe. The respousibility that rests on you is a terrible one. It would in my opinion, be criminal for any sovereign or statesman to attempt Lo procipitate this event in any case. What you have said causes me the greatest uneasiness.” Einally Averted. Tho conversation thus endod, and the quesn that very evening sent for Lora Salisbury and informed him of this strange conver tion and desired him to talk with the em. peror about it. “I am afraid that would only make things worse, your majesty,’ replied Lord Salis bury, “for I thiuk 1f T attempted to discuss the question the cmperor might cut matters short by taking wme by the shoulders and pushing ma out of the window. Besides it might excite his majesty to do exactly cou trary to what I might suggest, No, continued Lord Salisbury, “'tbere is in my opinion only one thing to do'—write an autograph letter to the czar telling him frankly what has occurred and urgiug him, in the interests of the peace of Europe, to 10so no time in making friendly advauces towards France." The queen at once followed Lord S: bury's advice. A confidential en forthwith entrusted with the quoen's auto graph letter to the czar. Tho czar fully ap- preciated the critical situation. Tho French flect was then in Sweden. The czar immedi ately sent an iuvitation for it to come to Cronstadt. The queen, at the same time, in- vited the F'rench fieet 1o visit Portsmouth The rest is al dy & matter of history ‘The above facts reach me from such person s, and in such a mwanuer, as to fnspire the utiaost confidence in them.' T am not at lib. erty to disolose the source of my informa- tion, but were it necessary to do so th would carry the greatest weight in London as well as in Berlin Use Haller's German £ilis, the great oo n stipation and liver regulator, FLICHT OF EMBEZZLER POLE. Story of a Former Lincoln Business Man's Disgrace. REFUSED AN OPPORTUNITY TO REFORM. In Addition to Other Things, Ho Was Under Bond to Answer for Mistreating a 13-Years O1d Girl, Lixcors, Neb., Oct. 4.—|Special to Tne Brr.]—-About o week ago Thomas E. Polk was taken before Justice Brown on the charge ot criminal intimacy with Flora Wil loughby, the 13-year-old daughter of the no torious Tom Willoughby, After giving $500 bonds for his appearance October 15 ho was relensed. Mr. Polk 1s not expected to be on band when time is called. 1In fuct, he has complotely disappeared, Friday being tho last time that he was seen. Developments since then show other crim inal actions that would of themselves require him to make himself scarcs. After failiug in the grocery business at the corner of Eleventh and L streats, fio entered the employ of C. O. Rohman, the grocer.at 1032 O street. Recently Mr. Rohman felt satisfied that Polk was robbing him and on Friday accused the fellow of embezzling about $130. Polk acknowledged bis guilt, but promised that if Mr. Robman would not have him arrested that he would make proper restitution. To mako his omployer feel convinced that he wasfsincere ho gave bima mortzago on bis household goods, which were then alreaay mortgaged to Broker Jensen. Polk declared to his employer that the ac cusations made concerning his relations with the 13-year-old girl of Willoughby were un true. He admitted, however. that his rela- tions with the girl's older sister and mother had been criminal. Mr. Rohman felt confidencein Polk and started him out as usual Friday morning with the order wagon. Ho did not return at the usual hour and on investigation the horse was found tied to a post on N street where it had been for several hours. It was then ap- parent that tho fellow had skipped. His wife was informed of the circum- stances aud is heartbroken over her hus- band’s escapades and nnal desertion of her. Polk is saia to come from a good family in North Carolina, but has of late proved him- self & vlack sheep by Lis drunken and vicious habits, His bondsman Henkle. in the case was W. A, COMING CANE KUSIL During the past week tho freshmen and sovhomores of the State university have been direrting all tteir mental euorgios to the in- tellectual theme of carrying canes. Homer and Thucydides have boen almost_forgotten, whilo the seductive mazes of trigonometry have been almost abandoned. The great vroblem now is, hall tho fresh- mon carry canes!’ The sophomores say 'he result has been a number of secret gatherings of excited freshmen and com- bative sophomores. The treshies determined t0 assert their manhood and independence by carrying the embloms of infirmity and theraby defy the sophs. The chancellov got ear of this, and wishing. 10 avoid the disgrace of the usual riot at re- ligious exercisos, refusod to bold the chapel service at the time the treshmen had decided to appear with canes. He posted a notice on the door that ho wished to meot the fresh- mon and sophomores in the afternoon. At the appointed timo the chancellor pleaded with the students to abolish the senseless custom, as it was neither intelleotual nor manly. He declared that he would not hold any chapel exercises under the existing circumstances until ho had their assuranco that the cane question would notintrude itself in the morning religious exercises. But the freshmen were stubborn and re- fused to give in. The next morning the fresh- ies, 100 strong, marched into chapel each car- b o cane and the leader bearing a bauner. ellor Canfield immediately suspended all religious exercises and the students were dismissed. T'he freshmen repaired to the campus where they were set upon by the sophomores, their caues taken away from them and smashed. A number of bruises and torn gar- ments were also the result. Tt was finally decided to hold the annual cane rush Saturday next and at that timo about 200 intellectual young men will got angry, tear each_other’s clothes, black each other's oyes, scuflle in the airt and go home bappy in the belief that they are keeping up commendabl. collego customs.

A Joke on Burdette. Rev. Dr. Delanno, a well known clergy- man, says the Philadelphia Press, tells s funny stary of oneof Bob Burdette's practical jokes, of which he happered to be the fortunate victim. He and Burdette were loc- turing in Bristol, and whila there, Mr. De lanno had received from his brother two sil- ver spoons, heirlooms of tho family. These be placed loosely in the pocket of his overcoat and thought no more about them. Suortly afterward, going to dine in a restaurant, he wet his co-lecturer, Mr. Burdette. While bere ho exhibited the spoons and tho joker's eyes bewan to twinkle The two left the restaurant togethor, the clergyman throwing his overcoat loosely over his arm. Ou reaching the sidewalk, Mr, Burdetto gave the coat a sudden fling,and the spoons fell to the pavement Great was the divine's astonishment as he stooped to pick them up, thinkiong it all an accident, to hear Mr. Durdette call loudly for the police, A large crowd quickly gathered and a uni- formod preserver of the police quickly ap- peared on the scene. What is the matter!" he asked “Matter!" responded the joker, with a sor- jous face, “this man just came out of that restaurant and two silver spoons dropped from his pocket. He is evidently athief dis- guised asa clergyman, o what a gulty look bo has,” The minister certainly did look guilty after un “hearing these words from his friend, and if it had not been for the arrival quaintances the policeman would have taken him into custody. Then they hunted for Mr. Burdette, but he had disappeared, leaviog a card in tho liands of a bystander to be delivered to the winister. On it was written the words: <oep the spoons as you may beablo to bail yourself out with ther."” of several ac- no doubt A Tredg-edian, He was trudgiog along_tho railroad track. says the Detroit F'reo Press, with a bundle in his hand, which he swung in a cheory, con- tented fashion that prompted a farmer to ac- cost him, “Goin’ fur?’ be asked. “Not_very,” was tho answer; “fifty or sixty miles.” “Jeo gosh!
