The Treasury Violin.

HERE is a story told by Berlin cor
respondent of Ole Bull, which will be
read now with interest:
Gaspar da Salo, the only violln-maker
who can be called the equal of Joseph
Gauderius, lived and worked at the
commencement of the sixteenth century
He had made violin with so much
care, and was himself so satisfied with
his work, that he desired Benvenuto
Cellini to carve the neck. The head Of
the instrument is formed by lovely
cherubs face, which is supported by a
smaller head and bust of maiden, the
features being of exquisite workmanship.
The rest of the neck is most beautifully
cut and gilded, and the colors are clear
and bright, though they are now over
three hundred years old. as the instru-
ment was made in 1882. The wood
from which Gaspar da Salo chose his
material grew on the mountains between
Brescia and Verona, where it was so
finely developed by the even tempera-
ture prevailing there, that the veins of
the wood are exactly an even distance
apart. The mountains near Brescia are
entirely denuded of trees. 1t is impossi-
BILE to find such trees elsewhere, and the
instruments of this master are unique in
this respect, and can not be initiated.
Cardinal Aldebrandini bought Gaspar
da Salo's and Benvenuto Cellini's violin
for three thousand ducats, and present
ed it to the Treasury of Innspruck,
from which it got It's name of the
Treasury VIOLIN" which it has since
retained. When Innspruck was invad-
ed by the French in 1909, it came into
the possession of soldier, who gave it
over to Rhaczek for the insignificant
sum of four hundred gulden. In 1889
Ole Bull visited Rhaczek, saw the violin,
and bid all he possessed for the instru-
ment, offering as we'll the proceeds of
the concerts he was then giving in Wen
ma. "Give me the fourth of Vienna,
and then we will see," was Rhaczek's
reply. But he promised the artist if he
ever parted with it he should have the
preference. Two years later, in Liepsic,
List and Mendelssohn were dining with
Ole Bull, and, while they sat at a table, the
servant brought an envelope bearing
great seal, which the host put one side.
"Open your letter." cried List, sit
has large seal, and may be important"
1t proved to be from the son of Rhaczek,
and impaired the news of his fathers
death, and that {" clause of his viii
directed that the Treasury violin should
be sent to Ole Bull" The delighted art
ist told the good news to his friends.
"What wonderful violin it must be to
cost so much money!" said Mendels-
sohn. "We must play the Kreutzer
Sonata together the first time you use it
in public" When the instrument came
it was found that there was no bar in it,
and it had, therefore, never been played
upon. AS soon as possible it was put in
order, and, as Mendelssohn had sug-
gested, it was consecrated TO art by the
playing of Beethoven's sonata.

it exploded with loud noise, sending
fragments flying all over the room. One
man had an eye destroyed by the ex-
plosion.
WITHIN circle drawn with radius

A MAN condemned to four years. i'm

himself to death. From the day of his
sentence he refused to take food, and,
no compulsion being resorted to, he died
at the end of thirty days.
A, NEWPORT woman at prayer meet

MARIE MAsCAL took walk in New
Orleans with a rival of the man whom
she was soon to marry, in order to tell
him that he must cease his attentions.
Her affianced husband saw them TO-
gether, and, refusing to hear her ex-
PLANTATION, peremptorily broke his en-
gagement. She therefore desired to
die, and tried to throw herself before a
locomotive, but she slipped on some
wet grass, and only lost leg. Her
lover is now convinced of her LOYALTY,
and will marry her.
A BLIND beggar was in the habit of
frequenting the Pont DIES SITS. Peres,
France, where he used to station him
self with a clarinet and very intelli-
gent poodle. Contributions poured
freely into the little wooden bowl which
the dog held in his mouth. One day
the blind man. who had reached an adj
vanced age, was not to be seen. He
had fallen i'll. His companion, how
ever, continued to frequent the accus-
toned spot, and the passers by, to
whom he was familiar, understood that
his master was unwell and, touched by
his fidelity, dropped their pence into his
bowl in increased numbers. The beg
gar went the way of all flesh, an event
which the willy poodle carefully kept to
! himself until he also became an absentee
| from the Point DIES SITS. Peres. The poor
animal was found lying dead in cellar
near his former masters abode, sum
of 10000 francs in bonds of the Orleans
Railway being discovered under the lit
ter on which he was stretched.

The DEATH OF DE YOUNG.

Although Charles de Young met
his death at the hands Of an assassin,
met il ' ithaut time for preparation,
and although tile blow was struck
ina cowardly manner, still, when all
things are considered, there is ,soth1
ing to suggest thougIitofsorrow or
pity. With great abilities and great
or opportunities it was his, had his
moral nature been different, to have
so lived and acted that his memory
would have been nci nnivl respected
but loved, Al the head Of, and CON
trolling the ablest newspaper on the
| Pacific Coast, stl,u good which lie
might have, accomplished CAR scarce
ly he told in mere words; as it was
tbsihjuries II both public and tri
vate nature inflicted throu h his
.vindictiveness and desire for personal
gain are almost countless.
1t Is the custom Of a great many
when anyone dies to -otwnil md
pity. Themnjarity Of theses m6ttsn-
ers are only maudlin followers of the
fashion Of speaking we'll of the dead.
For de Young the usual crpp If
apologists will come TO the front,
recitingt he benefits be. has cm,fetref
on his friends, the goodness Of his
heart, eli, fAna regre.tihe ne loss
the country has suffered In bis leath,
THIS win he all bosh. He may at
odd times haye beep :kmd7te a few
friends, and it ,iss praper enough
that they should speak well of him /;
but altogether his taking eff has been
one of the most fortunate things
which ever happened 10 the State of
Calitorni#, 81 M fact the whole Coast
Hrs life having bsen "a struggle
not to create but to destroy, the only
admissible regret is that it did not
end sooner. His personal quarrel
with the KalloeIs was oil no conse-
quence to any but the mselyes, and as
to which, ifeither Of them was right
is a matter of indifference. as.H
The outspoken rejoicings at his
death are not tokens of sympathy
with his murderer, they are expires
sions of relief felt at theireroval Of d
great public enemy.

THE CHANGE IN THE MINING
De- $500 sdi LAW. 'Ta. 'ss ..s-

Ar.Uaggett nas done GOOD service
to the. Coast In postponing the radi,
cal change in the mining laws, con-
templated by the bill prepared by
tho Land Commissioner. But tine
substitute. offered instead of the
square location clause will. if passed,
be found to have many troublesome
features. 1t is proposed in the
amendment to have the question of
square. or lode location dependent
upon the dip Of the vein or lode.at the
line of intersection with the vertical
side lines. That is: if the angle
formed BY the lode with q horizontal.
plane 1t the Intersection 81 the verti-i
cal side line is greater than 80 de-
grees, then the location will be con-
sidered lode location, and the To-
Gator or owner may follow and claim
the ledge to any distance in depth;
but if the angle at the intersection is
80 degrees or less, the claim can only
be held as square location, and the
owner of the surface ground adioin-
ing will have the ownership of the
vein as far down as it continues
within his vertical side lines. the
first difficulty under this arrangement
will be to determine the actusl dip Of
the lode; it may cross the vertical
line at one point at an angle with
the horizontal. Of less than 80 de-
grees, aud at another point at an an
gle greater t'ian 80 degrees.
EVENT. there was a provision in
the bill providing that the average
of inclination I've taken as the meas
urement Of the angle, II would neces-
state an exploration along the en-
tire length of the claim to determine
&he ownership OF the deeper portions
OF the ledge. The exploration with
the accompanying surveys would in
many instances not be justified by
the value of tho property, although
at the point where the side line was
crossed 1t might pay to work. and
possibly for some distance, further.
Thus n considerable amount of valu.
able ore might lie in sight fornyears,
neither Of the nsighboring claimants
being willing to incur the expense
Of definitely settling the ownership
and each prevented 6y writ Of in
junction .fram Isqpying ituntil such
ownership 10 decided. There will
.alsoA be- rs much litigation US toside
lines and vertical Boundaries, us un-
edsf tho ksquafss lneatidh I clause as
originally proposed. Again, the
added uncertainty as to the extent Of
the property, will deter great many
from making Efforts TO Develop Ia
ledge which may happen only to
accrue to the benefit Of another. :
None hut wealthy corporations
who are able TO purchase all the ad.
jaesns surface claims nader which
there Is possibility Of the ledge ex-
tending, win care to expend money
in opening and developing a mine.
50 far as isnow known the Blank
Of Ledge districts In Colorado, are
small as compared With the area of
the mining regions Of the United
States. and II would be better for the
greater number to allow the ledge
location law to remain In force.
