practice, have devoted their lives to the
practice of their specialties, with what sue.

In addition to the high medical authorities
quoted above may be mentioneda Pittsburg

The Teachers Association.

The following, from Philadelphfa Music
and Drama, shows the association feeling In
the eastern end of the State to be still alive,
and indicates possibility that the City Of
Brotherly Love may yet wipe out that debt
in time for the Pittsburg meeting:
At the meeting of the Philadelphia Music
Teachers Association, held at the Utopian
Clubrooms last Monday afternoon, it was
decided to have meetings with a programme,
prepared by the committee, on the first
Tuesday evening of October, January, April
and July, with informal meetings on the
first Tuesday evening of the Intervening
months. One feature of these informal
meetings will be a query box.
Mrs. Mary Gregory-Murray's offer to give
her lecture-recital No. O. the proceeds of
which shall be applied to the liquidation of
the debt of the State Association, was ac-
cepted.
Quite a number of renewals of member
ship to the State Association were received,
and a goodly number Joined the local asso-
citation. Much interest was shown at the
meeting and this local association promises
to be of great benefit to the Philadelphia
teachers by the promotion of fraternal feel
ing and the interchange of ideas.

More ABOUT SOUNDS From America.
After reprinting with an appreciative
credit (thanksD THE DIsPATCH's article
Of two weeks ago with reference to Mr..
Frank E. Saddlers successful orchestral
work, "Sounds from America" the highly
esteemed Musical Courier appends the follow
ing paragraph of good-humored indorse-
ment:
Mr. Sadler, about whose work we know
nothing of, except that which The DISPATCH
tells us, is only initiating Gottschalk in
drawing on native sources for his in spira-
ton The creole pianist found a wealth of
original melodies south of Mason and Dixon
line to which he gave most elegant settings
John Broekhoven, of Cincinnati, has taken
creole themes for his well-known suite and
Braham thinks his melodies out in street
cars so says recent interview, and
there they stay as rule ii. e., whistled in
the front and back platforms). By all means
let the American composer go digging for
indigenous melodies, nor should we turn up
our critical noses at even such melodic
mess as 'Shoo Fly,''which, if properly devel-
oped would be a theme worthy of orchestra
ton. (The theme should enter with bas-
soon, triangle and viola, syncopated rhythm
and lots OF color in the tympani. Mr.. Bern
stein is now working at the arrangement.l
Let the good work go bravely on.

Do You Scan Your Billsf

From the Portland me. Press
The other day a gentleman of this city, who
is well known for his wealth and social promi-
nence, happened to take up the bill Of a lead
ing dry goods firm, as it was living on his office
table, and glanced over the items. This is a
very rare proceeding on his part He usually
gave check, and then filed the bill without
examining it. This proceeding was not bust
ness-hke. but he had perfect confidence in his
this occasion he looked over the items, and he
saw his wife was devotee to black silk. He
couldn Il remember that his wife wore a great
many silk dresses, and that seemed odd under
the circumstances.
When he arrived home he jokingly said to
ms wife that she ought to be able to rent black
SILK dresses. Naturally the spouse asked him
what he meant. He told her. She declared
that she hadn't bought black silk dress for a
year and asked to see the bill. Her husband
handed 1t over, when she identified more than
half OF the items as incorrect, that lis, she had
never had those goods
The husband went to the store and inter-
viewed the head of the firm. That gentleman
referred the matter to the bookkeeper. who
showed an the items charged properly on the
DOCKS Then the clerk who sold the goods was
seen. She remembered the black silk sales
perfectly. The goods were bought by Young
,ady, who said she was requested to get them
oy the gentleman's wife. Gould she recognize
the LADY," "Oh. certainly" said the clerk
The next day the gentleman again called
Glad to see YOU, said the proprietor. 1.-THE
lady is here. There she stands" The gentle
man looked, and. 10 and behold, the lady was
an intimate friend Of bis wife and lady whose
parents are wealthy. Subsequent develop
ments showed that this was nice little game

bought their goods by bill, which was paid by

own With the most of them she only made
occasional small charges, like gloves cuffs, COL
lars, or little lingerie. but where she found that
bills we're not closely in spected, she
plunged in deeper. Among parties who know
OF the matter the affair has caused a deep sem
saaon. We hear it stated there is not the
slightest probability the case will be brought 10

A Daring Project.

from the Electrical World
One of the features of the coming electrical
exhibition at Frankfort-on-the-Main will be
the transmission Of power on a scale hitherto
never attempted. When it was announced
some months ago that it was proposed to trans
NIT 100 horse power from Larffen-on- the
Neckar to Frankfort, distance of more than
100 miles, the statement was received with
smiles Of incredulity; but now it seems quite
probable that not only will the experiment be
tried, but that it will succeed, in spite of the
engineering difficulties that have to be sur
mounted The government has been asked to
supply line for the purpose, and on the system
used the expense will not necessarily be at all
severe, for the use Of very high potential alter
mating currents is the feature of the scheme as
at present planned. The alternating generator
will supply a step-up transformer. that in turn
will transmit its secondary current at an enor-
mouslv high potential along the line to be
retransformed by a step-down transformer at
Frankfort to a potential practicable for an al
ternating motor. series of experiments car
ried out recently at Oerlikon involve the use of
pressures as high as 80. 900 volts on the line
At such potential the current transmitted be-
comes SO small that the line is relatively
small factor in the losses incurred even though
1t be of the extreme length proposed. Nothing
can better illustrate the characteristic adyan-
tages Of the alternating system than this beau
tiful process of generating and utilizing cur
rents at n moderate potential and transmitting
them from station to station ut pressure so
enormous that the losses in transitu become
insip nificant.

Escanaba is the county seat of Delta county,

1000, 600 gallons per day, high school and
three other schools, six churches, three news

and depart daily. and it will shortly have an
electric street railway in full work. Its

According to Mr.. Nursey's carefully written

Railroad Omcers and Directors RESPONSIBLE
for New Yor3<'s Tunnel Disaster.
The New York Herald says today: Coroner
Levy's tunnel accident jury found a verdict
last night which held the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad, through its officers and
directors, solely responsible for the deaths Of
six persons who were killed in the accident In
plain, straightforward language they charged
the deaths OF two of these unfortunates upon
the stoves which the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad used in its cars in viola
ton Of the laws of the state. Criminal prosecu-
ton is to follow at once these comprehensive
findings. Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew and the
other directors of the railroad who live in New
York will be arrested today and held on bail to
await the action of the grand jury.
The district attorney, through his representa-
tive at the inquest, has promised that he will
use every effort to follow out the indications of
BILE for the disaster.
Levy wants live in Connecticut. This
brings up an interesting question of
political aspect. II these persons refuse
to come to New York to answer to the
complaint against them it will be necessary at
one stage Of the proceedings to secure requisi-
ton papers for them from Gov. Hill. But Gov.
Hill having refused to recognize requisition
papers from Gov. Bulkeley it is certain that
Gov. Buckley will refuse TO honor such papers
from Gov. Hill.
III these thirteen persons do not choose to
come to stand trial, therefore, it is entirely
likely that they can stay away in perfect safety.
