Queer Finds In Pianos.

The variety of articles that piano
tuners find in pianos is remarkable.
One said he found four diamonds in a
piano and received very substantial
reward for his discovery from the lady
who had employed him. "You can
understand the shock given to ring"
he said "when lady is playing and
brings her fingers down in crescendo.
If stone happens to be loose, away it
goes, and with that rare affinity which
valuable things have in getting into
strange places, it promptly gets be-

course, the tone OF the piano is very

MUSIC Of maiden Medium"
MISS LULA BILLINGS AND HER ALLEGED
REMARKABLE POWERS.


ROCHESTER, N. Y. Jan. 10.--Miss
Lula Billings, the only daughter Of MIR.
Elon G. Billings, Of this city, Is Great
ing great excitement here by her re-
markable spiritual manifestations.
Miss Billings is tall slim brunette,
about 30 years of age, with a rather
pretty face and quiet attractive man
ners 1t seems that she is endowed
with supernatural musical power.
For several years Miss Lula has
been able to sing while in trance
state, but her parents have been so
averse to having the public know the
fact that until recently very few have
listened to the fair musician during
one of her esprit" performances.
The young lady takes her seat at
the piano, and, after few nervous
movements Of her head, passes into an
unconscious, or, as she says, trance
state" during which she r,ays snd
sings with great ease and skill.
She has no knowledge of music
whatever, save wnat her mother has
taught her upon the piano, and even
here her skill is by no means above
the average of many girls of 1s years
of age, yet her playing while in the
trance state is beautiful in the extreme.
She also plays in masterly manner
while under the power of the 'spirits;"
upon the guitar, flute, cornet, violin
and harp, although she has never re-
ceived instruction on any of them.
She says she is controlled and di-
rected by an Italian musician and
scholar who has peen dead several GEN.
turies, AMI VINO, she says, is named In
grelio. Under his direction she i'm
provises rare haImonies, but her play
ing while not in the trance state is of
very mediocre order. She has
sweet soprano voice of considerable
range.
Mrs. Billings told correspondent
that about nine years ago the family
first learned that Lula was controlled
by spirits. One night they were call
ing upon some neighbors who were
spiritualists when Lula went into the
sitting room and began playing on the
piano. The room was entirely dark.
They heard her playing familiar songs,
bat after time the music was of such
an ord and so strange that they went
IN and lighted the gas to see who was
playing. She says that her daughter
sat there with her hair hanging over
her eyes playing like mad. She ran
to the piano and shook Lula, who
gave scream and fainting fell to the
floor. From that time she has contin-
ued to develop. her strange power.
Mrs. Billings says that when Emma
Abbot was stopping here she sat in
the window of the hotel and listened
in anszement to Lulu's singing. She
made inquiries regarding her, and in
company with members of her COM
pany called to hear her sing and pro-
nouDced her voice superb.
Mrs. Billings says her daughter
sings in Spanish, French, Italian, Ger
man, Chinese and in the ancient Hin
doc dialect. Mr. Bill gs does not be-
lieve in spirits despite the wonderful
performance of his daughter, but says
he can not account for her power.

The Prohibition Amendment.

Advices from Harrisburg leave little
room for doubt that both branches of
the Legislature will again adopt the
Prohibition amendment to the Consti-
tuition, and provide for its submission
to vote of the people at ptcal
election to be held in the early part OF
the summer.
In order to submit the Prohibition
amendment to the people this year, 1t
will be necessary for both branches of
the Legislature to again pass the pro-
posed amendment without any change
whatever, and to clare by law when
it shall be admitted to the people. The
text of the amendm MT must be adver.
fused 10 full in every county of the
State for three months prior to the
election; and 1t may be submitted TO
the people either at a special election
10 May OF June,o or say in September or
October after harvest time, or at the
regular November election, as the Le-
gislature shall decide.
The special friends of the Pro-
hibllion amendment are importunate
in the demand for a special election to
dec de the issue, and their wishes are
likely to prevail. They argue that
even at an uuimportant general cleo
ton there would be more or less politi-
cal entanglem" and they want an
election at which the people will haye
no other question to consider or act
upon than that of Prohibition. A
majority Of the votes cast at such cleo
ton will adopt or Re ject the proposed
Prohibition amendment. If adopted,
an Extra session of the Legislature
would be necessity to enact laws for
the enforcement of the new Constitu.
tional provision. If rejected, no new
Prohibition amendment, or any other
amendment, could be proposed for five
years.
The proposed amendment is radi.
cal prohibitory measure. 1t absolutely
prohibits the manufacture or sale of
all Intoxicating liquors as a beverage,
which includes beer and wines of all
grades, and directs the Legislature to
provide by law for the punishment of
those who shall disregard it's mandate.
If adopted by the people, all manufac-
ture and sale or traffic of any kind in
liquors, beer or wines as a beverage,
would summarily cease upon the Off
cial declaration of the popular appro-
val OF the measure, and there would be
no restitution to owners OF property
that may be mcde by the change. Ii
censes granted for a period beyond
the date of the operatian of the prohi-
bitory amendment would terminate at
once, as the amendment, as adopted by
the last Legislature, would go into i'm
mediate effect upon its approval by
the people.--7Smes

One of the works of the last grand
jury was the indictment OF large
number of persons OH the charge OF
keeping bawdy houses and selling
liquor without licenese. Up to
the present time the keepers Of bag
MOS have not been assessed for the
illicit sale of liquors and their indict-
ment for the offense caused consid-
erable surprise. The Indictment
brought about by the county license
Inspector, Mr.. Willis. lThe fine i'm
posed for selling liquor without
state and county license is uniformly
$50 in these cases and the imposi-
ton of this fine in conjunction
with the fine of $500 for keeping o
bawdy- houses is expected to have
the effect of closing many of these
disreputable houses.
