Mr.. Bayard viii Address the West Sid
Democrats Upon the New Election Law

Mr.. Bayard Will Address the West Side
Democrats Upon the New Election Law.
Next Friday evening, November Goth,
at 8 O'Clock, meeting of Democrats of
the western section Of the city
will be held in the hall of the Weccacoe
engine house, Second and Jackson
streets. The meeting will be addressed
by Hon. Thomas T. Bayard.
This meeting is the first of series
that will be held during the coming
winter, with the object of familiarizing
the Democratic voters of the city with
the provisions Of the new law under
which the next general election will be
conducted. At Friday nights meet
ing Mr.. Bayard will take the new
law for text and thoroughly ex-
plain its provisions. He will
also recommend the holding Of "vot-
ing Schools" such as were held in
Ohio during the recent campaign, where
all the forms of registration and voting
can be executed and much practical in
formation impaired in advance of the
election.
While the new law is not complicated
or cumbersome, it is yet radical de-
parture from the system of voting To
which the people OF this State have
heretofore been accustomed. The new
system is easily understood, however
and the Democratic county committed
will use every sendeavor to have il
thoroughly illustrated and explained in
advance. Friday nights meeting will
be the first step.

Written for The Evening Star.

IT Is GENERALLY KNOWN THAT THE
l. 6rst thing human being does on coming
into the world is to make noise, and this Is
likewise true Of the entire race. Quite the ear
Lest records we have of the dwelling OF man
kind on the earth contain evidence Of his innate
propensity TO make noise Of some kind, and
1t is only in comparatively recent times that
the noise produced is in any way entitled to be
known as music. As in other things, what Is
true Of the race in course of time, Is found at
present in different conditions OF social status
4 The propensity to make a noise OF some kind
manifests itself in all phases Of nervous excita-
tion-shouting in battle, the use Of instru-
ments, information and incarnation in religious
ceremony, wailing in mortuary observances
and . general pounding and shouting at we'd
ding festivities. The various kinds Of noises
seem to be adaptede each to its own peculiar &C.
casion. and yet the desire for confusion is so
strong that the time and place have sometimes
become sadly mixed. The wailing of a paid
mourner can hardly be expected to resemble
the manifestation of those who truly mourn.
The ''hallelujah' religious rejoicing is but an
adaptation of the shout of war triumph OF the
Greeks The Greeks going into battle smote
their shields with the spear. When the Hebrews
were about to go to war they sent a trumpeter
into every city to recruit. At the Island Of
Nantucket the town crier goes down to the
wharf when the steamer comes in to shout the
news and the watch blows horn in the church
tower whenever q sail comes In sight. Even
nature sometimes makes an artificial noise
earthquakes have been known to make
the church bells ring. There is no
such thing as nature in silence; it floats
on the air from the hum of the
tiniest insect to the scream of the sea eagle
and man catches the inspiration, dreading
silence he breads oblivion. With him the
more vitality interest in life, virility that the
occurrence contains, the greater the occasion
for o noise.

ments, though the earliest forms can be called

The most important OF these instruments is
the kien-king. consisting of sixteen stones in
the shape of a carpenters square, suspended at
the angle by cord, in two rows of eight, one
above the other, in a handsomely decorated
frame. The variety of tone is obtained by
note by reason of slower vibration, but even
the best stones fail to give a complete octave
which il is well known can be obtained from
hard wood.
The king is a very ancient instrument,
which the Chinese records show to have been
very expensive and highly priced as long ago
as 200 Be, and In one of the outbuildings of
the temple of Peking there are ten sonorous
stones said to have been cut 5000 years ago.
1t is said the art of cutting stones was lost for
many years until 81 Be, when a set was found
in pond where it had been thrown in the gen.
eral destruction of 246 BIC. There is said now
to be one in each Confucian temple and impe-
rial place Of worship.
They claim it blends best Of all instruments
with the human voice, and Confucius is said to
have been thrown into ecstacy on hearing it for
the first time. Certainly the chimes have
heard are eXquisitely beautiful within their
compass. At one time their use was forbidden
to all but priests occupied in religious offices
and emperors and were received as tribute.
THE JADE SPECIMEN.
The specimen at the National Museum. con-
sisting of three stones, is valuable for the jade
This stone is rare and very interesting. 1t is
very hard, receives high polish and due to
the ineness of the grain admits of beautiful
| carving. 1t is found worked into ak and arrow
heads among the early remains of man. in the
Lake dwellings of the neolithic age, where il
was brought as an article Of barter from the
| far east To the man of that day it was more
valuable than gold. and by the man of this
day highly esteemed for making small and del.
