veterans are likely TO cause trouble IL they are not
furnished with whiskey. contrary to the laws OF
Maine. AS rule the Democratic press was never
fcnd of the veterans of the late and OK course

them is how they best break the law Is Dothfhg
less than lbellous. The veterans knew all about
Names prohbtory law before they liked Oh for1-
land as the place in which to hold their reunion.
They have said nothing to cause this discussion;

The markets both for stocks and products opened
on Monday with a decline In the stock market
the recent advance has been largely confined To
few securities that the decline in those which had
previously advanced affected the general average Oh
prices but little. Still. the fall in West Shore
bonds, Erie bonds Lake Shore, New-York Central
and some other stocks was considerable, and indi-
Gated strong disposition the part of holders to
realize profits without waiting for the advent OF the
expected July investors. In the grain market
slightly weaker tone was natural, il for no other
reason because the carefully circulated reports Oh
enormous losses in wheat produced so little effect
upon the market last week 1t was naturally reas-
oned that, if the farmers or other holders had
plenty to sell at the current prices, the prospect of
famine could not be quite as gloomy as some had
represented. On the whole there is not much prob
ability that the country will starve this year. The
cotton market was also shade lower, and the gen.
eral tendency was such might naturally be ex-
pected in Wow of the remarkable accumulation OF
unemployed money.

The Gear Reforming Things.


The recent reforms which the emperor Of
Russia has introduced in the royal family
were much needed. The titles of grand
duke and grand duchess are now limited to
fifteen; the remaining members will only be
recognized as princes of the blood. When
the Emperor Paul. who was the last to
legislate for the Romanoff family, formed
the existing regulations, the title of grand
duke was confined to his sons. Under Alex
ander 1, and Nicholas the family did not in
crease considerably, but it has now grown to
very large proportions. On the birth Of each
grand duke the sum Of three million of
roubles is put aside for his benefit, and, in
addition to that, when he comes of age
large allowance is made him; so that had
no reform been instituted the drain oni the
exchequer would haye reached enormous
proportions. For the future, all members Of
the imperial family who are not grand dukes
viii be allowed to marry with daughters Of
Russian or other noblemen. Perhaps the
greatest boon which the new laws give is
that members of tho imperial family are not
10 secure all those high and lucrative posts
which they have hitherto monopolzed from
their cradle, but will have to be promoted by
merit. The emperor has begun these re-
forms with his own son, the Cesarewitch,
whom he has appointed to the post usually
bestowed on every grand duke when he be-
comes of age.
Another reform which the emperor has
just introduced into the army was even more
needed than the above. From time imme-
mortal it has been the custom that when
senior officer retired from the regiment he
was presented with very costly gifts. Another
drain on the purses of the officers was the
expense entailed on them whenever the
emperor reviewed the troops, as the most
costly bouquets had TO be presented to the
empress and the ladies of the household.

Electrioitv as a Motor.

BY the latter part of the month Of May it Is
expected that the experiment of propelling
trains by electricity on the elevated railroads
in New York city will be we'll under way. The
Field, Edison and Vanderpoele companies
have united as the Electric Railway Company
OF the United States, the Daft Company alone
holding aloof; and the elevated railway people
gave the rivals the privilegs OF practically
testing their systems upon the road, tbs allied
companies on the east side OF the city and the
Daft ON the west. The system adopted by the
allied companies seem to be in the main
the Edison, which applies q motor to each
car. The main objects sought, aside from
cleanliness and quiet, ara Of course economy
and lightness; and the pooled companies are
evidently convinced that II they make an an.
gine strong enough to draw the heaviest train
its weight may seriously wear and shake the
elevated structure, while much unnecessary
power would thus have to be employed during
the hours of light traffic. rhe plan finally
adopted seems to be both ingenious and simple
A motor is affixed to each OF the two trucks of
the car, without disturbing their present equip
ments, and without encroaching upon either
the sitting space or platform room. The
driver can thus control his train from either
end OF 1t, so that instead OF switching at the
end OF the line it is only necessary to walk
through the train and start it back again. The
seven miles OF line from Harlem through Sec
ond avenue will be in running order by the
last OF May. Meanwhile the Daft people have
already begun laying their middle rail on the
Ninth avenue road, and they will probably be
running trains in a month. IL these expert
ments are successful, and there is every reason
to expect that they will be, the noise and
smoke and dust Of the elevated railroads will
be things OF the past and rapid transit will be
blessing less mingled with curses than It is

A Lewiston violin dealer said to Journal
reporter: 1--WE have lots of funny people in
this world in the way of violins. The other
day had letter from a man up in the
northern part of Oxford county, who wrote
that he was the possesSor of very old Vio-
lin that he wanted me to see. I wrote to
him to bring it in. He came in with 1t last
Wednesday. He had it in a blue bag. He
told me a long story about it. He said that
it was an heirloom in the family, and that
his father had owned it, and that his fathers
father had played it years aud years ago at
the old-time huskings in northern Maine.
He wanted me to believe that the Virginia
reel had been danced to that fiddle a hun
dred years ago. I laughed at him and told
him he was mistaken. The inscription on
the fiddle was, "Jacobus Steiner in absam
omne prope in enipontum, 1754." l took
down fiddle from the shelf. 1t looked very
old. The neck had been cracked and glued
on. The dirt marks were on the belly of the
fiddle and it was dented and scanned and
SCARED. I asked him how old he took that
fiddle TO be. He said seventy-fve years, for
guess / said seventy weeks perhaps.
1t never was played on, and I'll sell 1t to you
tor nine dollars That staggered him. l
showed him an inscription on the inside,
'Jacobus Steiner, ETC., 1902 About all of
our imported fddles, as told him, have
those marks on them. Here is an imitation
Amati violin marked 'Amonius Amati feet
A. D. 160S' That violin was made this
year, probably. Here is violin marked
'Giovan Paolo Maggini Bresca, 1927 1t
has a double row of purfing around it as
they made their violins in those days, but
this copy was made in 1874, probably. Lots
of folks who read these old yellow labels in
side their violins think that they have some
thing valuable. 1t nowadays takes a good
judge to tell some Of the pest of these in
struments from the genuine old ones, but it
can be done. The man who brought lin his
one hundred years old violin said that he
had been fooling, and that he bought it of a
peddler who had He'd to him."
