When holy hands of horror are held ND thew
should be hands that are themselves clean. To
the American mind the attitude of large Dor
ton Of the English press in the matter Of
American treatment Of the Indians Is an atti-
tude of srrsnt hypocrisy. 1t is not forgotten
cn this side of the Atlantic that from time i'm
memorial the British authority has been ex-
tended arbitrarily and harshly over peoples
vastly more intelligent and teachable than the
soorigines Of this country. Something over
century and half ago British chieane and
British arms swept the strongest of the Hindu
powers out Of the protection of France and
into the control Of nation whose boast ia that
b never ssoops to placate inferior races. never
eeersdss itself by blending its blood with such
peoples and forces wha. it wishes down the
unwilling throats Of barbarians The Ameri-
can policy toward the Indians is liable to lust
criticism, but the ranting English papers
overdo the matter in the expression Of their
horror and disgust. Those who inhabit the
most fragile Of glass houses should not spite
fully throw stones.

hundred other inventions for killing
| time.
At all such society events, her pres.
ence was looked upon as positive
| necessity, until at last the poor girl
was almost tired out. No wonder then
that she was anxious to get away from
it all and seek that rest in New York
which was absolutely impossible at a
place like Long Branch.
Just as the concluding words fell from
Armidas lips, there was knock on the
door, which was answered by the maid,
who took card from the bell-boy and
handed it to her young mistress.
Armida glanced at it languidly and
then turning to her mother with pite-
Gus gaze on her sweet face said:
Another infliction.''
''Who is here now, my dea-?"
THAT horrid, vulgar Mr.. Blodger,
who is so fond CT saying: Ladies, Mr..
Stephen Blodger at your service.
Here Armida rose from her reclining
posture and gave an imitation of that
gentleman's unique style of Introducing
himself; then turning to her maid she
said:
Tell the boy to show him up
AS the boy went away, something
like gurgling litter sounded as if COM
ing from that progressive youth. In
less than minute the caller was at the
parlor door, which showed that he must
have waited either outside, or very
near the elevator, for he certainly did
not have time to come from the office.

A Souvenir of Won MoItke.

A delightful little story is told of
Count Won Moltke. During his birth
day anniversary celebration young
American lady, who was in Berlin for
the time being, addressed him a note
with the request that he would write
his name in the fiy-leaf of a book which
she sent him. She added that it was
her birthday also, and shat it would
give her peculiar pleasn re if he would
crafty her desire. Count Won Moltke
was much impressed by the cirCum-
stance. and sent messenger with the
request that the young lady should call
upon him, which she did under proper
escort. She found the venerable com
mander surrounded by glittering nobil-
ity, but he at once welcomed her in the
most cordial way, and after brief con-
versation wrote his name in the book,
adding this passage: Il have been young
and now l am old, yet ! have never
seen the righteous forsaken or his seed
begging bread. ''-Chicago Evening Post.
81 don't think this new color you
have on your house is as warm as the
old one.'' ''Well, how could it be?
The old one has just had four new coats
put on it. "-Harper's Bazaar.

FAMOUS VIOLINS.
Rare Specimens from the Hands of Fl
Most Celebrated Makers.


There is no Observation-Disclosures
standard by which the superiority of old
violius from the hands of famous makers
can be established.
Perhaps Stradivari, Nicholas, who
lived and made violins in Cremona,
Italy, in the latter half of the seven
teenth century, should be credited with
| popularizing the violin as much as any
| one in history. To be sure, Amati,
whose name is one of the famous ones
still, was a little earlier and taught
Stradivari the art.
But for the man who did most toward
esta bllshing the present rule as values
for vlolins of ancient make the world
must look to Louis Tensio, an italian
collector, who was at the meridian in
the first quarter of the present century.
Iensio was lover of violins, either for
themselves or the money that he ac-
CURED by trading in them. He roamed
about Europe, buying up old violins and
trading new ones for them. In old
monasteries he received many a rare
one, which the owner was only too glad
to exchange for one of the newer
finish. This goes to show how
little was then appreciated the benefit
of age which now is such an i'm
portant factor in the value of an instru-
ment. Tensio was found dead one day
in his house in Milan, surrounded by
his collection of violins, which prob
ably could not be reproduced for it's
rare and fine instruments to-day from
all the collections in the world
The name of Guanarius stands next
fO that of StroHiyar.i fn.lar fnr.
ence of make, especially the name of
Joseph Guanarius del Jesu, whose
trademark was I. II. S. A hun
dred years ago the Amati violins
stood higher in the value of the
world than those of Stradivari, but
they have since exchanged their posi-
tions. To-day an Amati must be excep-
tionally fine to be worth more than $500
or 5000, while as good specimens of the
Stradivari or Guanarius are probably
worth, respectively, as many and half
as many thousands.
One of the finest, or at least most
precious, Guanarius instruments extant
is that which Paganini used, and now
preserved in glass case in the Munich
pal Palace at Genoa. Paganini's pupil,
Sivori, is probably the only one who has
played on it since his masters death,
and that only once.
In this country, Mr.. Hawley, of Hart
ford, Conn.,, has an exceedingly valua-
BILE collection of rare violins. He has
no less than five specimens of Stradi-
varia and three of Guanarius. One Of
the latter is known as the King Guam
arius, that is the finest product of the
artist. 1t is valued at So, 800.
Theodore Havemeyer of this city,
has number of rare and valuable in
struments. among which are more than
one Stradivari and Joseph Guanarius
del Jesu, with the /. III. S. brand of ex-

Santa Rosa, and inform him of the new

Santa Rosa, and inform him of the new
developments.
They supposed naturally that Velas-
quez had little idea of his crime being
discovered so soon, if ever, and that
he was probably on his way East. So
they did not raise hue and cry at once
but decided that it would be far wiser,
and more prudent, to be sure they were
| right before going ahead.
The next day they all started for
Santa Rosa, the county seat, where the
trial was to be held, and Wilcox was at
last full of hope that the unfortunate
Anton would soon be released.
A consultation was held with the law
yers, but they did not deem it wise to
take steps to secure a warrant for
Velasquez's arrest: they advised watt
ing until after the trial of Anton Rey-
man.
The trial was set for ten days later,
and at that time nearly every adult in
habitant of San PaOla was at Santa Rosa.
The witnesses VINO had appeared be-
fore the coroner and the grand jury
were again called, and during the first
part of the proceedings there was only
repetition of the former scenes at the
inquest, no new disclosures being made.
But there was a tumult of excitement
when Percy Beaufort Lovel had been
called and his ties timonsS takon.
What he said furnished unexpected
development to all except the princi-
pals in the drama, and created not only
surprise but intense Indignation among
the people.
Then the boy who had found the sti-
1etto was called and examined. The
weapon was produced and the servants
of the Delaro household were called to

So far from the recognition of private

AN EXPENSIVE MISTAKE.

One Error of Punctuation Cost the Gov
Crnment S2.OOO.OOO.
There is scarcely ever a session of
Congress in which bills are not found to
contain mistakes in photography and
punctuation. The only wonder is that
many more do not occur when it IS re
membered that all such work near adj
iournment is performed under eXtraCr-
binary circumstances. All is haste
noise and confusion. Rest and sleep is
unknown oftentimeS for two or three
days and nights in succession. The
clerks become nervous. wearied and
sometimes wholly exhausted by the in
tense strain and prolonged physical la
Dor.
Proba bly, the smallest. and apparent
" most insignificant. of all such blundcrs
was the most expensive one of the kind
ever made. 1t occurred in a tariff bill
more than twenty years ago. There
was Il section enumerating what articles
should be admitted free of duty. Among
the many articles specified were all
foreign fruit-plants," etc, meaning
plants imported for transplanting, prop
agation or experiment The enroll
ing clerk in copying the bill accidentally
changed the hyphen in the compound
word ''fruit-plants" to a comma, making
it read ''an foreign fruit, plants" etc.
The consequence was that for year
until Congress could remedy the blunder
all the oranges, lemons. bananas.
grapes and other foreign fruits were adj
mitted free of duty. This little mistake,
which the most careful man might
easily have made, cost the Government
