HE USED FINESSE How Director Procured Score of "Parsifal." BERLIN, Dec. 2.—German newspa pers, in printing accounts of the suit brought in New York by Frau Cosima Wagner to prevent Herr Conreid from producing "Parsifal" in the Metropoli tan opera house there, raise an Inquiry as to how Herr Conreid secured a copy of the orchestral score of the opera, since a strict account is kept of every sale and right of reproduction granted. The papers today reprint from the Deutsche Wochonzeitung in Den Nied erland, a weekly newspaper published in Holland, the following story, which is offered as the origin of Herr Con rcid's copy: "Several months before former Di rector van der Linden, of the Amster dam opera, started for America, he entertained the idea of having his troupe sing 'Parsifal' at a concert and opened negotiations with Amsterdam music dealers in order to secure the score. The dealers secured the score with the right for concert perform ances from Yon Sc-hott & Sons, of Mayence for 1,000 marks and a per centage of the profits. Director van der Linden took the score and had it copied, but the concert was postponed. The dealers then demanded the return of the Bcore, but Herr van der Linden I"it them off with promises until the date of his departure for America. "Accidentally a clerk of one of the dealers learned that Herr van der Lin den w;is about to sail for America. The dealers went directly to his house and Yound the former director had already gone. They were in despair, as they had given 50.000 marks as a guarantee for the return of the 'Parsifal' score. The matter was turned over to an at torney, who telephoned to a lawyer in Rotterdam. The attorney obtained the score from Herr van der Linden under threat of arrest." ONLY MAN AMONG GIRL STUDENTS Attends Ladies' Fancy Dress Party Disguised as a Negress. Special to The Globe.

ABOUT FEAR. Often Comes From Lack of Right Food. Napoleon said that the best fed sol diers were his best soldiers, for fear and nervousness come quickly when the stomach is not nourished. Nerv ous fear Is a sure sign that the body is not supplied with the right food. A Connecticut lady says: "For many years I had been a sufferer from in digestion and heart trouble and in al most constant fear of sudden death, the most acute suffering possible. Diet ing brought on weakness, emaciation and nervous exhaustion, and I was a complete wreck physically and almost a wreck mentally. "I tried many foods, but could not avoid the terrible nauseau followed by vomiting that came after eating until I tried Grape-Ni^^s. This food agreed with my palate and stomach from the start. This was about a year ago. Steadily and surely a change from sickness to health came until now I have no symptoms of dyspepsia and can walk ten miles a day without being greatly fatigued. I have not taken a drop of medicine since I began the use of Grape-Nuts and people say I look many years younger than I really am. "My poor old sick body has been made over and I feel as though my head has been, too. Life is worth liv ing now, and I expect to enjoy it for many years to come if I can keep away from bad foods and have Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creel:, Mich. There's a reason.

Railroad News RAILROADS BOW TO AGENHfOOIELL Independent Immigrant Man Wins Big Victory' Single Handed. - Peter McDonnell, the independent steamship agent of ; New York, ■ has been acknowledged victor in a fight waged. against him for the past ten years by the - Western ■ and .- Eastern railroads. * •*\-" •»" "' - - To ; drive him out of * the - business of naming the railroads over which .immi grants should travel from New York west- , ward, the Eastern . and Western lines formed | pools and agreed jto * boycott him, nd induced some of the steamship lines to do so. The railroads also tried to out bid McDonnell in paying commissions to European immigrant agents. In some cases ' the sum paid as a commission to the agent was as much as the railroad company re ceived for hauling the immigrant from New York to Chicago. v Now the railroads, acknowledging they cannot drive him out of the immigrant business, propose to take him into part nership with them. The heads of the pas senger departments of all the Western railroads in the immigrant pool left Chi cago Tuesday for New York, to tender McDonnell the position of agent of the pool in New York. Ten years ago he wanted that job, but the railroads laugh ed at him. Now they will beg him to take the position. McDonnell is a millionaire several times over. Nominally he is the agent in charge of the lower Broadway ticket office of the New York, Ontario & Western, a position that pays about $20 a week, but as a matter of fact he is one of the three larg est stockholders of that railroad and en titled to a place on the board of directors, if he wanted it. Western passenger officials fear that the salary McDonnell will ask to become their agent for Immigrant business will be much more than they can afford to pay. He is the only obstacle to the perfection of the pool on immigrant traffic. CANADIAN TOURISTS STOP OVER IN ST. PAUL Large Party of East-Bound Travelers Is Carried by the Great Northern. The new Winnipeg express of the Great ISorthern yesterday morning brought a large crowd of excursionists bound for Eastern Canadian points to the Twin Cities.

The Transcontinental Passenger asso ciation has given notice to the Western lines of a movement on the part of news paper proprietors for securing special railroad privileges during the world's fair at St. Louis. The movement so far is confined to the southern part of Illinois, and the demand is that the newspaper publishers shall be furnished with a gross amount of transportation to be disposed of as they please. The proposition is re garded as novel. Further developments may be expected during the next few weeks. For the latest and most complete statement of the rapid development of the Illinois Central railroad and its traffic the public is indebted to an anonymous circular now being circulated, evidently by semi-official authority. "Fifteen years ago the freight earnings of the company were only $9,000,000," the circular says, "ten years ago they were $12,800,000, five years ago they were $19,000,000, and for the past year they have reached to as much as $30,592,000. The Twin City Advertising association, in which the railroads of the Twin Cities hold membership, has elected the follow ing officers: President, C. S. Fee, gen eral passenger agent Northern Pacific; vice president, W. B. Dixon, North western passenger agent Milwaukee; sec retary, C. E. Wilkinson.

BREWERY HORSES ARE FOND OF BEER They Won't Do Without the Beverage and it Makes Them Fat. WASHINGTON, D.

They have acquired a taste for the beverage and they refuse to do their work until they have been supplied. Now, I say the horses acquired a taste for beer, but I guess I am wrong about that, for it is my candid opinion that horses naturally love beer. They seem to have the same taste for it that hops have for "mash* and 'beer' from the stillhouses.

"Our horses fatten on beer, and it is a noticeable fact that the ones drinking the most beer keep in the best physical con dition and can do the most hard driving. The horses draw the line on stale beer, and one of them will have to be powerful dry in the throat before he will drink it. But give him a bucket of fresh beer and it will soon disappear, and he will neigh for more.
