burden of everything calculated to meet
the wishes of an epicure, There was ar
abundance of fine brook trout, many OF

The reception was an agreeable surpris
to Mr.. and Mrs Brown, and theii
daughter, Miss Florence was almost car
ried away with enthusiasm. The presen
is her first visit to the coal region and sh
said that she hadn't the slightest idea tina
so much enjoyment could be found in th
'dusky diamond fields.
To cap the climax, the Washington Cor
net Band serenaded the guests at abou
half past ten o'clock and rendered sewers
excellent selections in front and inside q
the residence. The renditions were un
usually good and the members of the ban
were highly complimented by the visitors
Mr.. and Mrs. Titman were warmly con
graduated. The reception was certainl.
one which can only have a fountain-hea
in unbounded liberality.
OF course Caterer BILLY" Lloyd feel
proud of what he accomplished If an.
doubt existed as to his ability in his line h
dispelled it etfectually last night.

MORPHINE KILLED HIM.
Judge Houk's Death Blamed on the Phys
sician Who Attended Him.

KNOXVILLE Tenn, May 29-The sensa-
tional death of Judge Houk does not end
the sensations in connection Herewith.
1t is said here now that his death was
caused by dose Of morphine admins
tered by the attendant physician after the
arsenic had been removed
The story goes that Judge Houk had
completely recovered from the effects Of
the poison, except that be was weak and
excited.
He seemed unable to sleep, and the
question was broached of giving a dose
of morphine. 1t is said that the family
physician advised against it, saying that
Judge Houk had heart disease, and that
it would be very dangerous to give him
the powerful drug.
The morphine was not given the Judge
then, but later the physician who had
advocated it decided to administer the
drug when the other was gone. This he
did by injection during the night The
Judge went off to Sleep sleep from
which he never woke, as the sequel
shows.
A son of Judge Houk said that his
father would be alive now but for the
dose Of morphine The physician who
opposed the administration said that
Houk's death is directly attributed to the
morphine.
This may lead to hot debate between
the doctors. None OF Houk's family has
said anything about the matter publicly
and the son made the remark to a friend.
The funeral of Judge Houk took place
shortly after noon, and was attended by
an immense crowd. Congressman Enloe
was here Senator Harris of Memphis,
and Cullen of Illinois, and number OF
other Congressman came, including OrisI
of Georgia. Bishop Joyce conducted the
funeral exercises.

FAMOUS VIOLlNS.
Rare Specimens from the Hands of thu
 Most Celebrated Makers.

Rare Specimens from the Hands of th9 Most Celebrated Makers.
 There is no utely-determinable standard by which the superiority of old violins 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 establishing the present rule as values for violins 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. Tensio was lover of violins, either for themselves or the money that he ac- quired by trading in them. He roamed about Europe, buying up old violins and trading new ones for them. In old monasteries he received many rare one, which the owner was only too glad to exchange for one of the newer
 
 | 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 its rare and fine instruments to-day from all the collections in the world. l @f cfo lS nx-f to that of Stradivari to-day for excel 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, MT. Hawley, of Hart ford, Conn.,, has an exceedingly valua ble collection of rare violins. He has no less than five specimens of Stradi varia and three of Guanarius. One ot the latter is known as the King Guam arius, that is the finest product of tho artist. It is valued at $500.
 Theodore Havemeyer, of this city has number of rare and valuable in struments. among which arc more thar one Stradivari and Joseph Guanariu: del Jesu, with the I. II. $. brand of OK | cclencc Chica0o Journal

 "Some of your cough drops, madam. Could you accommodate me with small vial of the stuff"
 "I might"
 "Then do so and be quick about 1t, for must get back to Lono Hollow immediately"
 The hag held out her withered hand. "Cross my palm with gold and the elixlr's yours"
 He drcw from his pocket gold eagle and dropped it into her hand. Then she rose, emitting chucklc, and glided swiftly to d cupboard near and opened it. After a short time spent in fumoling about among various articles she returned and placed small vial filled with colorless liquid in hls hand.
 II had it all ready" she said. I reck- oncd you'd bo wanting some before long. The old gent at the Holler's gettin' old, and he needs somcthiu' stimulatin' to keep his gray head above ground. 'Twould be pity ef he'd drop off with heart disease some day, an awful shock to the community like; eh, Cap'n."
 "None of that, you hag of darkness" TO- tort ted he, with q nervous grip on the deli cate substance in his hand. 'I will call again in a short time, Mother Cabera."
 She went with him to the door, and open ing it saw him pass out into the night. As he walked silently and swiftly away he | muttcrcd to himself "There were no witnesses to our meeting, and that was as l wished.

And so tho scheming Captain was emi nently satisfied Perhaps he would no have felt such elation had he looked into Mother Cabcra's cabin ten minutes aftcl his departure.
