SS^TRIALS OF A COMPOSED How Leoncavallo Got a Hearing For His Opera "Pagliacci." "How little those who go to a successful opera and see J lie smiling composer think of the mental, if not Ehysical, suffering through which he as very likely gone before arriving at fame. For instance, Leoncavallo and the "Pagliacci" are taken as a matter of course, but the recognition of the opera was obtained only when despair was knocking at the door of the composer. Several years ago Signora Lison Frandin had just made her first successes as a singer when one day a friend came to beg her good otli:es with the great Sonzogno, who is such a power in the musical world, for an unknown genius, whose opera, the "Pagliacci," was driving him mad because he could not get it accepted. The friend drew ? touching picture of the young man, who had sent his opera to Kicordi. Sonzogno's great rival, who had pigeonholed it and had forgotten it. while the young composer was eating out his heart. Mme. Frandin required a great deal 6f persuasion, as Sonzogno was "difficult" and had just declared that he would not even hear any more new operas. However, she in the end 2ave wav. was herself von over on hearing the music and spent a couple of fatiguing hours in arguing with Sonzogno. To get rid of her he consented to hear the score. The young composer came with a timid, almost supplicating, air before the terrible and taciturn one and was received with a coldness al'most glacial. Leoncavallo at once seated himself at the piano, while Sonzogno walked the floor, and those present waited anxiously for a sign of interest, which they knew would be a pause in the dreadful promenade. The first act was passed, and still the tramp, tramp went on, the composer scarcely being able to strike the notes. In the second act the longed for pause came, the promenade was over, never to be resumed where Leoncavallo is concerned. Thus the "Pagliacci" was born, and the composer took his first step toward "Roland" and Berlin. ? Pall Mall Gazette. Bank Runs. A good many years ago in London an old woman fell in front of a bank and broke her leg. A crowd collected, and the report got about that there was a run on the bank. In a very brief space there really was one. A disastrous run on the Bank of England in the time of the pretender in the eighteenth century w?s nrevented bv an ingenious de lay. When Prince Charles was marching on London depositors were in a frantic hurry to draw out all they had in the Bank of England. Every call was met, but in sixpences and shillings. So long did these coins take to count and so prodigious were the loads of bullion which had to be carried that public confidence was restored and, news of the retreat of the highlanders coming to town, the situation was saved. i . Mayonnaise. Many persons have difficulty in making a good mayonnaise, but there ought to be no reason for it if you know your oil is good before you start. Mix the yolk of a fresh egg with a little salt and dry mustard and stir continually with a fork while you add the oil, which at first should be only drop by drop. The best way is to cut a notch in the side of the cork of the bottle and let the oil flow through. This prevents the oil from coming faster than you want it. After a bii add a few drops of vinegar, and it will expedite matters in bringing ine salad to the desired smoothness and consistency. After this you can add oil almost ad libitum without danger of its separating. It is needless to add that during this process the dressing must be continually st rred She Got Off "Easy." Fuddy?You know that Miss Bon ney threatened to bring suit for breach of promise against Tom Lollard and that they finally agreed to leave it to arbitration ? Duddy?Yes, I did hear something of the sort. How has it come out? Fuddy ? The arbitrators have unanimously decided that Miss Bonney ought to give Tom $10,000 for breaking his promise. ? Boston Transcript. How He Used the Whisky. An Irish butler, newly engaged, * 1 A A_ Uiw. requested nis master iu miun uim some whisky. "There's nothing like it to clean the windows," said he. However, a few minutes later his master chanced to pass through the room and, to his surprise, found the glass empty. "Why, Barney," he asked, "where's the whisky?" "Well, you see, sir," said Barney, not in the least put out, "it's this way, I drink the whisky, and then I breathe on the glass." ^startling Result.

Although the ati tendance yesterday was not so large as we expected,yet we had as many as the church could hold. There were visitors from p Manning, Foreston, Kingstree, Taft, Lanes, Gourdins and Heinemann. We had preach I ing at 11 o'clock by the Bishop and he gave us a sermon well worth coming any distance to > i hear. After the sermon the J church was dedicated, or as the V\lethodist discipline puts it, , \Set apart from all unhallowed I or common uses for the worship ' of Almighty God". After this : there were communion services, which closed the exercises for the day. We were certainly fortunate in having such a pretty day, but oh, my! wasn't it A im.wf oil <\iir \-i<iti?r< IIUL . xiuuuoi an v/i vw? ? v?. left yesterday evening for their respective homes.

The ceremony, which s is a very pretty one, was I much enjoyed by all present and ' ! especially so by the visitors " j from Greelyville. If the hot weather affd bright j sunshine of the past few days ! continues for a short while J longer, I think most of our r! farmers will be able to let smiles | chase away the frowns that . have been disfiguring their faces | during the several weeks past when it was raining nearl v every >* | r day and sometimes all day.

They don't seem : to let the grass or the price of t cotton or anything else worry . them. Our honorable town council has agreed to build another story upon the town hall for the j use of the W 0 W.

(Ptiblisht'd by Request..* The Star lias refrained from the occasional course of itsconi temporaries of giving1 gratuitous advice to its friends behind the hoe who are the bone and sinew of the country, and who are, in these enlightened days of progressive farming, generally better judges of practical questions than many who take a super-; ticial or sentimental view of the situation. The Star is, however, in a position to know that many | of its friends are suffering serious | loss by the unwise exposure on the plantations of thousands of bales of cotton to the continuous pring srains this season, which has been estimated, in many instances, as high as HO per cent, of the market value. Lt has been claimed by some of those who have no storing facilities that the bales will not suffer much injury in the open air if they are kept on their edge upon poles which hold them a few inches clear off the ground; and, if the bales are turned upside down after every rain in order that the moisture absorbed may be quickly evaporated. It is also claimed that the cotton so treated will gain in weight to the farmers' ad vantage and that the risk of loss by fire is reduced to a minimum without the expense of insurance. It must be manifest by experience, however, that these specious claims are not sustained by results. Exposure to pun onrl winfur rnin wnms I mc sua uiivc ?? inwvi i w>>? and defaces the bagging-, rusts I the hoops, and makes an un- , sightly package, while the later warmer rains of the spring heat the cotton,fermentation follows and in many instances thirty to sixty pounds of rotting and worthless cotton must be removed and the bale repacked i in a crude and unsatisfactory [ way before it is ready for ship- < ment. We have seen in Wil- j mington recently thousands of 1 damaged bales waiting for the ( slow and expensive process of picking before they can be ; shipped as merchantable. Many ? of these bales must prove a loss ' of at least a cent a pound to the 1 farmer. 1 Moreover the practice of ex- j posing cotton at the plantations , seems to be largely conlined to ' our own section?that is to say, t the Carolinas. Farther .*'?outh a better method p revai Is and the warehouse system is used by many farmers who have no storage facilities. It should not be overlooked that mill buyers and exporters prefer the lots that ( have been protected even by a ( temporary and inexpensive * shelter which is within the 1 means of every producer. There e is, thep, no question as to actual weights and grades, nor -1 any delay in settlements, nor any rejection of mis-shapen bales. ^ We are informed that some of the principal buyers are now refusing to bid on exposed and j damaged cotton because of re- a cent heavy reclamations from mills at home and abroad. We f frt\m runrpipnt.'lti V f dl9U 1CU1 U iiv/ut of Marine Underwriters that t insurance against country dam- )' age will be difficult to obtain r next season, even at advanced 1 premiums.
