How Ole Bun Conquered the Iron Heart
with the Charm OF HLs AusIe.

How Ole Bull Conquered the Iron Hear
with the Charm or HIs AusIe.
A very interesting incident L. told of
Ole Bull and Johu Ericsson, Zach OF
whom have contributed by their lives
no little fame to the Scandinavian
countries in which they were born.
Acquainted in their early life and good
friends for years. they had somehow
been separated and had not met again
until both had earned worldwide fame.
Bull nce visited Ericsson and invited
him to his concert. Ericsson refused
on tho ground that he had no time for
such folly. Each time Bull 'came to
New York he visited his old friend and
never forgot to invite him to his con-
ccrts His invitations were ! many
times refused because the inventor
pleaded no time.
III you don't come to hear me once"
said Bull during one OF his visits, III
will take my violin along and play for
you right here in your workshop
"lf you bring your violin hero Til
smash 1t to bits" was Ericsson's only
answer.
Nothing daunted Bull. He was
bound to try what effect his music. that
had entertained SO many. would have
upon such an earnest and practical
man as Ericsson, who had been cooped
up NIL his life. ono might say, In his
workshop. One bright day Bull went
to Ericsson's house with his precious
violin, but not without some misgiy-
ings as to how his visit would termi-
nate. for he knew that Ericsson was a
determined man and generally meant
what no said. When he entered the
inventors workshop he was greeted
In any thing but n friendly mnnner.
Without allowing E lesson an oppor-
tunity TO blow off his wrath, on2him
u opened tho conversation in tho
easy, fascinating way for which he
was noted. upon tho violin's construo-
ton, what 1t lacked. etc, and finally
asked Ericsson his opinion rs to tho
best sounding woods for tho manufact-
uriug Of violins. This was followed
by quite a discussion as to the acoustic
properties OF the violin. To Illus
trate one OF his opinions, Bull
drew the bow across tho strings
OF his violin From one chord
he went to another until he broke
into a heightened melody The
workmen laid aside their tools and
listened with Ericsson to the grand
master OF tho violin. All stood spoil
bound. Bull became enamored of his
W playing and made his violin utter
tones that IL had never been called on
before to emit After awhile he ceased
to play. Ericsson, who had been sit
ting lost in his emotions. with
tears coursing down his cheeks, cried
out:
:"Go onl Go oni For the first time
1 know what has beon lacking in my
life "-Minneapolis journal.

Stewart on Silver.

An Examiner reporter interviewed
Senator Stewart on the silver ques-
ton the other day and received q
courteous reply, frrm which wo make
tho following extracts:
"Thcro arc strong Indications" said
the Senator, that the creditor class
aro losing control OF their debtors,
and that continued contraction is
croating such discomfort rs will cul-
inmate in rebellion against tho dos
potic rule Of tho non-producing class.
"The recent elections in the East
show Tint the people arc not welded
to hard times. During tho last year
the currency Of tho country has been
contracted about s32,OO0,OO0. This
does not represent, however, all OF
tho contraction which has taken
place. Tho population has increased
largely III the last year, requiring an
addition to it's circulation and not n
diminution. II tho bondholdors'
policy had been fully cnrried out
there would have bccn'no silver coin
age, and the contraction would have
been SEE, 100000 during tho last year.
aft will DO impossible for tho bond
holders TO deludc tho people much
longer with tho assertion that thore
is gold enough to supply tho demand
for money. Tho experience OF overy
year demonstrates the absurdity Of
such n proposition. Adherence to
tho gold standard means perpetual
contraction and falling markets.
Undor such circumstances there can
DO no prosperity.
"But low prices. s~tognation and
hnrd timos arc teaching tho people a
valuable lesson, which will result in n
return TO tho full use OF both tho
precious metals, and snfo principles
Of finance, which have been rccog-
nized by tho world for several thou
sand years"
