Lefebure-WeIy.

Louis James Alfred Lefebure, the weli-known and
talented organist who died in Paris recently having
been taken with the attack which resulted In his
death while performing on his organ In the church
OF st. Sulpce, was born in Paris on November 49,
1917. He was the son OF an Organist OF st. Roch
While yet boy his musical talents were noticed
and his progress in that science was something
remarkable II is said to be fact that he knew his
notes and the keyboard before his letters. At the
age OF eight he played his first mass. He acted as
his fathers substitute when fifteen, and about the
same time carried OFF the prizes for organ counter
point and fugue at the Conservatory OF Paris where
he had Halevy for his master. 1t was on the organ
Of st. Roch that he first began to indulge in his
daring but elegant extempore playing, which in
after life placed him at the head OF the new school
OF so-called French organ playing.
He was appointed organise OF the Madeline In
1s47, where large instrument OF CavaileColls was
erected. The resources OF this instrument until then
ignored, putt within his power to realize all his
Inspirations He here acquired the art OF combining
the several stops to such degree that few organsts
in this particular have since been able to approach
him. To this accomplishment, by constant practice,
he added that OF a complete mechanical mastery OF
the instrument. He took charge OF the great organ
OF st. Sulpce in the month OF April 1s6s and this
position he held until the time OF his DEATH This organ
required much physical exertion in the performer
which taxed the energies OF Lefebure to the utmost
His health, which was already much shaken, was
gradually undermined Dy the continual daily exer-
else, and the time came when he obliged to ask
M. Louis Dessane the organst OF the choir or small
organ OF the church. to take his place In the gallery
This gentleman had been designated by Lefebure
during his lifetime as his successor. which desire
will doubtless be carried into effect. 1t was with
great difoulty at this time that the chief organst
was able to ascend the steep stairs leading to the
organ loft. One day not long since he had been re-
quessed to perform at q marriage and while labori-
ous making his way up the stairs 70 fulfil his pro-

WE HAD only time yesterday to refer to the
fact that the Republican party had reason 10
be thankful TO Hon. William b. Mann for the
result in the contested election cases Read
ing over the opinion of the majority of tho
court affords us better opportunity of ascer-
tanning the real service rendered by this gem
tleman. The reasoning aud deductions Of
Mr.. Justice Agnew are evidently derived
chiefly from and based upon the very able,
lawyer-lil1e, and logical argument of Mr..
Mann, and it will be remembered that the
grouping together of the testimony and
arranging the facts with such systematic pre-
oision as would strike the attention of the
court below was the work of this same gentle
man. We doubt very much whether there
is any lawyer in this country who, in cases
of this character, possesses the genius for
concentration and presentation of facts which
is the characteristic Of Hon. William b.

THE WAR CLAIMS OF THE BORDER
COUNTIES

TIE grand scheme of the present session for
plundering the taxpayers of the State came
mp for consideration in the lower branch of
che Legislature yesterday. 1t provides for
the payment of alleged damages said to have
been suffered by citizens of York, Perry,
Cumberland, Adams, Fulton, and Bedford
counties during the war, and while it directs
that loan of $4,000 shall be made at once
to defray these claims, the opponents of the
bill allege that if it passes it will cost the
Commonwealth So, 100000. They also assert
that if anybody is liable it was the General
Government and not the State. In spite
of these objections and others still more
powerful, AZ members voted to fix a special
session to consider the bill against Al in the
negative. Among the yeas are four of the
reelected Republican members of this city
Messrs Adaire, Bum, Cloud, and Hong; and
we are agreeably surprised to find Davis and
Stokes voting in the negative. If the Legis-
lasure wants to give away millions of the
peoples money, there are hundred objects
more meritorious and of more pressing i'm
portance than the claimants for war dam
ages. Let them do something for the
relief of the overburthened taxpayers oi
the respective cities, counties, boroughs
and townships. Let them .appro
pirate more money to the schools, or u
charitable institutions, or assume portion o
the debts contradiction the payment of boun
ties. 1t is difficult to repress the suspicion
that the lAading argument in favor of tn
claim bill is the opportunity it offers for in
directly voting money out of the treasury int
the pockets Of its legislative supporters. Whel
they make donations to people who have N
Legitimate claim, and who consider that ever
cent they get is clear profit, wide margin
left for contingencies, and the unhapp
farmers who were bereft Of few fence rails
fat pigs, or poultry, can well afford to make

THE PENNS VI TANIA RAILROAD
COMPANY

OK our fifth page we publish the annual re-
port of the Directors of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. This great corporation,
with the many miles of railway under its con-
troll, is 80 identified with all the material in
terests of Pennsylvania and indeed with those
of the whole country, that the statement of its
transactions during the past year cannot fail
to prove of the greatest interest to our read
ers. 1t is not necessary for us to discuss the
facts and figures of this report, as they will
speak for themselves, and show how immense
have been the business transactions and how
thoroughly the officers of the road have ac-
Quilted themselves of tho trust eonfded in
them.
The exhibit is a most satisfactory one in
every respect, showing as it does how the
efficiency of the road has been increased by
consolidation and the enlargement of its con-
nections, which give it the control of the
carrying trade of an immense area of country,
and place it in the very first rank
among the railroads of the United States.
The credit of the Pennsylvania Railroad has
never stood higher than it does at the present
time, and the annual report shows that the
Directors have availed themselves of every
means to establish the financial affairs of the
company on the most satisfactory
and substantial basis. The transac-
tions of such corporation as this
are of interest and Importance to a vast mum.

Pennsylvania trade, manufacturing. and

has under its control the prosperity and wel
fare of the Common wealth. 1t is satisfactory
to know that the road is fulfilling its destiny
in this respect, and that it is extending in al
directions its influence and that of the peopl,
, of this State We commend the perusal o
this report, therefore, to our readers, with tn,
! assurance that they will find in it food for re

Juvenile Suicide.

We put upon record another instance of juve-
nile suicide. At Davenport, Iowa, recently,
Henry Van Evena, aged nineteen, pupil at the
High School, drowned himself in the river. He
said in q note left for his mother:-"The earth
is hard and cold. and has no attractions for me"
The value of these cases is like the value of
cases of hydrophobia in children. They prove
a distinct suicidal propensity, mainly indie
pendent of mental motive, in suicide, just as the
hydrophobia in an infant precludes the posi-
bilIty of an overwrought imagination, and de-
monstrates actual physical phenomena; and
they should render parents watchful, especially
when there is complication of epilepsy
Cotton Spectators Coming TO Grief.
special correspondent of The Atlanta Consti-
tutioil writing from Memphis, Tennessee says:
-"Forty cotton spectators, more or less-lame
ducks-went limping about the streets yester-
day. Poverty, terrible as inevitable, unless the
price advance within the next few days, awaits
some of the bodest tradesmen of this
city. There are dealers having several
thousand bales on hand. One of these,
hedging, / suppose to get even, bought yester-
day more than 1900 bales for about $130 000
His estimated losses are 100000. But he is
quick, shrewd, bold, clearheaded, able to hold
on for months, and always when he falls stands
on his feet. He will win before the season
closes. The number of bales received here ex-
ceeds that of the same date last year about
15 600 bales. Cotton dealers think the crop vii.
