NASHVILLE, January 1.-THE Leg
islBture will probably do nothing
more 10 render the financial cOndi-
tiOn Of the State better than to in
crease the taxation ten per cent. The
Senate proposes to double the present
tax, but the House will not agree to
higher tax than fifty cents on the hun
dred dollars. A proposition was made
in the Senate to-day, declaring all the
State bonds issued since the lst OF Oc-
tOber, 1865, null and void, and in
structing the State financial officers
not to receive them or their coupons
in payment Of any debt TO the State.
The proposition will probably fail.

The venerable George e. Blake, who has kept
music store on Fifth street, few doors above

dence in the same building last evening. Mr..
Blake had attained tina extreme old age OF ninety
nye years, ana has long been regarded as one
~ the celebrities OF this city. Ne
has been for many years the Oldest music publisher
IN the United States and there is but one music
house in the country whose original establishment
antedates his. That is the music publishing house
OF Lee & Walker, Philadelphia, which was founded
in lT74 by George Willig who died very old In ISL

music, but finally, in 1902, opened a music
store at Third and Market streets,
from which place he removed about the
year 1914 TO No. rs South Fifth street, an
continued his business and residence for nearly
1ftyseven years. The store Is aDout 20 5v 10 feet
and Immediately In the rear Is the small ONCE IN
which the venerable nonsgenarlau was
customed to pass much OF h's time.
When Mr. Blake first started In business,
he engraved with hIs own hands All the
plates for the music which he published ana this
he continued to do for many years. Previous to
stating in business a music dealer Mr.. Blake
had been piano manufacturer, aud the first plano
made ia the United States was constructed by him
In this city, becoming when c0mpletedthe property
OF Thomas Jefferson.
In his day Mr. Blake was the most extensive
music dealer In the country, his shelves being
loaded down with the best selections His own pub
LEGATIONS likewise numbered among them many ex-
tebsive ana valuable works. An edition OF Handes
OratoriO OF The Msssidh, which he published many
years ago is regarded as the best published in
this country. But for many years past Mr.. Blake
had practically ceased to transact any business aud
probably there has not been in his store a new
piece OF music during the past qulrter Of
century. But he still continued to Degue his Ell
sure with show of wOIk, gOlHg through the cere-
msliy OF taking down the shutters every moraiog,
and Of putting them up again about dark. The
windows of his store flied with the quaint old
music sheets of the early part or the century,
changed at regular intervals to impress the passing
world with idea OF the extent of his stock With the
great busting world he had nothing to do and OF 1t
and its doings he knew nothing. TO the day OF his
death he s said to have heard Of the existence
OF any other music store Ia the city We have even
heard him say, in gOssiPy moment, that since MIR.
Wlie's death he was the only music publisher In
the country that he knew Of.
MI. Blake for years lived almost entirely alone.
