eyes of his employees, 1t Is vividly re-
membcrcd by the writer how certain
publisher in an interior town felt nS
happy as king when he could send l"r
two bundles of paper ut once, and II Is
more wildly remembered that he never
saw the week when he could buy one
bundle of paper and pay of the hands,

Is This the Truth About Murray :?

V. A. Fenner, formerly of Sherman,
writing from San Antonio, Texas, says
that ''among the noted residents of the
vicinity the Rev. w. II. H. Murray,
Adirondack Murray as he is called,
in here, fallen giant indeed, with
none so poor as to do him reverence.
When he fled from Boston his fair
haired private secretary, young lady,
followed his fortunes and has since
lived with him. Last year her heart
broken father came for her, and after a
despairing effort to get her to return
with him, which proved Intellectual, the
poor old man, disgraced, broken in
spirit, alone in the world, and almost
penniless after his long search for her,
blew out his brains at the very thresh-
old of Murray's door. Only last Sum
day-Sunday mark you-1 saw him at
San Pedro Springs unloading with his
own hands, wagon-load of cedar ties
that he had hauled from his little place
for the street railroad company. lie
was without coat, vest Or collar, dirty
and uushorn, and it would take keen
eve, az Boston man remarked to me,
to detect in him the idolized preacher
of one of the proudest pulpits in the
Hub"

FlDDLERS AND RIDDLES.
How They are Made---Some Curious
Facts Concerning Them.

How They are Made---Some Curious
Facts Concerning Them.
Detroit Post.
We have all heard of the young man
who made a fiddle al out of his head
and wood enough left for another, and
that is just the sort Of instrument that
the amateur musician is making now
in the old farm house, something to
display his ignorance of mechanical
skill and music both, but in which his
doting mother and sisters see a genius
that shall far outshine that of Ole
Bull.
There is an old nusery rhyme of
Mother Goose which tells us that
"Old King Cole
Was a Jolly old soul,
And Jolly old soul was he;
He called for his pipe,
lie called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three"
But the inspired violinist of to-day will
tell you that the fiddler is man who
cannot make music, that a fiddle is no
name at all. 1t is in spite of this de-
scended from the old Anglo-Saxon
Fythel and is a thousand times better
known to the unclassical horde than
by its finer and less resonant cognomen
of violin.
Perhaps there has never been any
other musical instrument SO cruelty
murdered as this. 1t is one of the
properties of the humble population.
Every cheap tavern has fiddle; the
squeak Of a wheeZy violin may be heard
in every low down neighborhOod every
negro's cabin in the south used to pos
sess one. Sometimes it is square box
with four strings, but it is usually
made of the approved shape and in
some musical wood, and at times a boy
will be found who can draw sweet,
wild notes from his untutored self
made instrument. All over the world
in the wilds Of Norway, on Scottish
hills, in the backwoods, will be found
a counterpart of the famous violin
which. touched by master hand, has
drawn tears from the eyes of the high
est taudience in the world.
For the violin is the only instrument
chat has never been imposed upon by
any. 1t is the same to-day that it was
in the 18th century, and it is only the
accurate ear of the musician that de-
termines what his instrument shall be,
a method of torture or a delight to all
who hear it, There are some more
perfect than others, n Cremona made
in the mellOwy cline of Italy of wood
sasoned by the Italian skies, and with
the fine strings which the Italian shell
furnish, cannot help but give sweetest
strains. Another fallacy in regard to
the fiddle is that its strings are made
of the intestines of a cat. Badly play
ed one might easily imagine the cat
itself to be embodied in its shrieks,
but never was cat so slandered. 1t would
indeed be doubtful which would be
the redeeming feature of slaughter

The Murder of o Fed dl eP.

PLAINF1ELD, N. j., May AT
about seven o'clock this morning some
farm hands going to their work saw ly.
ing in piece of woodl md, within ,
rod OF the road, the dead BODY of man
with the head half-.evered from the
body. A basket Of tin-w stood about
yard away from the body with the
contents undisturbed. The body was
stlll warm.
The man was identified as one of .
couple OF tin peddlers who had been
seen in the neigh ghborhood the night be
fore. His companion was missing, bat
a tramp, who had been seen In the
neig borhood an hour before the discov
cry, was followed to the Netherwood
depot, mile from the scene Of the
murder, and arrested. He was search
ed, and small stains like blood were
found upon some clothing in his pack
and upon razor. He admitted having
been in town in the morning, but denied
all knowledge of the murder. He WAS
locked up and will be held until An in
quest takes place. Pne dead man was
of medium height, light build, black
curly hair, and aged about twenty.
There were no marks of struggle
around where he lay, and he is suppos
cd to have been mur dered A. he slept.
The man arrested is a German tramp,
and gives his name rs August Schlsch.

Market street was flled with the

the curses not only deep, but loud, that
were heaped upon the head of Bailif'
Brady for issuing the order closing the
liquor saloons to-day, Many Of the
voters were laying In Q stock of the
ardent to see them over the crisis,
while still others INDUCED in sundry
winks and mysterious whispers about
back gates and side doors, that would
be open to the initiated and their friends.
There is no wonder that the lamenta-
tions are many, for Democratic nom-
ination election with whisky is some
thing that was never heard of before.
1t is understood however that it is the
intention Of the leaders to have . little

had something to do with appointing
the nomination election to be held up
on the same day as that of the Board
Of Education.
