ANECDOTES OF REYER
The Famous French Composer
Was Blunt of Speech.
HE HAD A CAUSTIC TONGUE.
His Biting Wit Was Lavishly Be
stowed Upon Those Who Annoyed or
Displeased Him—As an Officeholder
He Was the Limit of Indifference.
Ernest Reyer, the famous French
composer, had a biting wit and a cans
tic tongue. Fortune frowned on him
at the beginning of his musical career,
and his first opera, “Erostrato,” was
played only twice. This did not worry
Heyer much, although, as he said to
the manager, “1 bad hoped to see it
played three times at least.” “Fro
strate” was rather meanly staged. In
the first act the temple of Ephesus
was supposed to fall and did not. ”1
suppose,” said Heyer, “that they
thought that tf the play dropped hard
enough the audience would excuse ih>
v f ?v v* - • r* **
temple! ...
At that lime the manager of tln
opera was a man named Halanzler,
who was uo musician and whom Rover
Jfc— *
disliked. Halanzier had a way of -pat
ronizing the composer which made him
furious, and lie took his revenge one
evening in Rrussels. “Sigurd.” after
having had some success in I’aris, was
played at the Theatre de la Monmtie In
Brussels and achieved a triumph. Aft
er the first performance Heyer gave a
supper, to which he invited Halanzler.
who was delighted when the composer,
after a speech in ids honor, lifted his
glass and said, “And now 1 wish to
drink to Hnlanzier.” Hnlanzier bowed
and smiled, and Heyer, without mov
ing a muscle, went on calmly and im
perturbably—“to flalanzier, the one
manager to whom I owe nothing.”
Heyer was playing one of his compo
sitions at a friend’s house when a little
girl —he hated children —commenced to
cry and would not be comforted. “For
pity’s sake,” cried Heyer furiously,
“put that child on a chair and sit on
her face, one of you!” The crying child
became some fifteen years later Mine.
Rose Caron, the singer who helped
Heyer to the pinnacle < f fame.
It was Ernest Beyer Who u the
original perpetrator of the Joke with
reference to twins whi !i this been
ascribed to so many people. A fri. ntf
of his had just become the father of two
boys and had them brought in to the
composer. “Charming,” said Ernest
Reyor nervously—“charming children,”
patting their cheeks gingerly with Ids
gloved hand, “delightful children real
ty. Which one are you going to keep?”
When he was appointed librarian to
the Paris Opera he tooji his duties
very easily and as a matter of fact
scarcely ever went to the opera
house. Tie was fond of telling the
story of Ills first visit to his office. He
went to it one evening at dusk six
years after he had been appointed
He lost his way and wandered about
up and down narrow passages and
dark corridors until lie ran up against
a doorkeeper whom he had passed two
or three times already. The man, dis
trusting the stranger, stopped him and
said, "Who are you, and where are you
going?” Royer looked him up and
down. “1 am the librarian.” lie said
haughtily, “and I am looking fur the
library!”
Oue day a young musician called on
him with a warm letter of introduction
from a mutual friend. Iteyer received
him and. wincing, asked him to play
the two pieces which his friend had
recommended. After the tirst one hud
been performed the pianist turned ex
pectantly to the composer. “What do
you think of that?" be asked. "1 pre
fer the other one," said ueyer, and
the young man left without playing it
When he was on the stairs the old
composer leaned over the banisters j
and called to him. “Your future Is as
sured, young man." he said. “You
have nearly learned when to stop. But i
if you had let me off the first piece j
too” And. chuckling, lie went into I
his flat again.
Once a young lady snug him the 1
grand air from “Sigurd" and sang it j
rather badly "I was so frightened,
cher tnaitre!” she said. “Not nearly as
frightened ns i was!” was tin* old
man's answer.
On another occasion a Indy said to
him: “Oh. M Coyer, when i hear the
air of ‘Doves’ in ‘Salammbo’ 1 can posi
lively see you writing it! ! ‘-an see
you in your beautiful Pro

matter with your eyesight, mndame."
he growled “When I composed that
air I was sitting on the top of an o;n
uihns, smoking n pipe, and It was rain

One more example. A lady who
lodged opposite him In the Cue de la
Tour d’Auvergne was an ex-pupil of
the conservatory, and this, it seemed
to her, was the chance of a Irfetime

you.” he began, and the singer be

the messenger continued, “and hi

THE CANNON BURST™
Tragedy In a Celebration to Honor
President Tyler.
In 1544 an accident took place in the
American navy—the explosion of a big
gun, the Peacemaker, on hoard the frig
ate Princeton, off Broad bay. in the
Potomac river, eight miles below
Washington.
Those killed were Abel Upshur of
Virginia, secretary of state; Thomas
W. Gilmer, governor of Virginia:
Commodore Kei non of the navy. Rep

resentative Maxey cf Maryland and
Mr Gardiner, nu os-member of con

postmaster general; Colonel Dade.
Colonel Benton, Judge Phelps of Ver
mont, Commodore Stockton, command
er of the Princeton, and nine seamen.
Ou Feb. ”S, 1544, President Tyler,
the members of bis cabinet and their
families and many other prominent
persons, said to number over 400, were
invited by Commodore Stockton to
spend the day on the frigate Prince
ton. which was lying at anchor off
Alexandria. After the guests were on
I hoard anchor was weighed for a snort
sail on the Potomac, and the ship pro
ceeded down the river to a point be
low Fort Washington. On the trip
down the heaviest piece of ordnance
on the frigate was fired several times,
presumably as a matter of entertain
ment for the company. The gun had
been constructed from a model made
by Commodore Stockton, and Presi
dent Tyler expressed a decided Inter
est in the weapon. At 2 o'clock in
the afternoon on the return trip the
Princeton anchored off Broad hay, and
the company was invited to luncheon
in tiie cabins below the gun deck.
After luncheon Commodore Stockton
proposed that tiie gun he tired once
, more as a salute, he said, to the mem
ory of the great peacemaker, George
Washington. President Tyler, his cab
inet and a number of gentlemen re
paired to the gun deck.
As the gun was fired the breech end
from the trunnion's hack was blown
off. and this section was split in twain.
One-half of it fell on Secretary Up
shur. Two sailors removed it, hut the
secretary expired in a few moments.
Governor Gilmer had been struck and
killed by this section of the gun be
fore it felled Mr Upshur. The party
on the guti deck was scattered, and
the whole ship shook under the force
of the explosion.
The excitement was great. The bod
ies were- removed from tlie Princeton,
taken to Washington, placed In hearses
at the wharf and carried to (lit* White

Bore the Tect V/ell.
A famous dramatist was tho hero of
one of the most amusing marriage pro
posal experiences on record. When as
a young man lie fell in love with the
pretty daughter of a pastor he was
afraid to face the lady and so wrote
iter a letter. lie was told to call the
next afternoon and receive his an
swer. On reaching the house he was
shown into a room and given a seat
on a sofa. The servant said that the
lady would soon appear. lit* sat and
hung around in that room for fully
two hours, often tempted to leave the
house or make a break f* r further in
formation, hut not having the courage
to do either. At last he could stand It
no longer and rushed into the corridor,
making for the door out of the house.
Then lie heard a slmut of clear, silvery
laughter in the room he had left. lie
hastened hack and saw the face of his
sweetheart peeping out from under
the sofa, convulsed with mirth. “Do
forgive me.” she ejaculated. “1 simply
wanted to find out how long you
would wait for ine. You have borne
the test well. Now help me to my
feet.”-Indies’ Home Journal,
The Old Ones.
“Well have to give up the idea of
puttin’ pictures in the parlor, Jane,”
remarked old Johu Turutpseed as he
threw the bridle under the table.
“Why?” asked his wife.
“Too dear! Why. I priced one iri

‘That’s an old master; it’s price is
£500.’
“ ‘Why,’ sez 1. *it looks like a second
hand pietur’.’
“ ‘Yes, it is.’ sez he.
"Then, thinks 1, if a secondhand
