a New Use for Ola Pianos.

There came into my possession,
many years ago, very old-fashioned
upright piano. We found place for
it in my study, more for the beauty
and quaintness OF the case, which was
OF rosewood. and OF the usual excel
lent workmanship, than from any
hope OF deriving comfort from any
sweet music the mellow worries might
produce. II was old, and its time
and power for discoursing sweet
music were past and gone; try as we
would, by a new string here and
another there, it refused to send out
any but shril and discordant notes,
and in despair we locked it up. And
SO it might have stood for many years
to come, pleasan: to look upon, but
utterly useless, had it not been that r
good many books were scattered
about the house and demanded case.
While trying to reconcile ourselves to
parting with the piano to make room
for the bookcase, the thought struck
us. Surely this would make a splen-
did bookcase If it's inside could be
bodily taken out without injury to
the frame" We sent for workman,
who saw the possibility of doing this
for us at II moderate sum, and the re-
suit is that we nave a beautiful piece
Of furniture and bookcase combined.
The upper part, consisting OF about
two-thirds OF the height, contains
three shelves for hooks and Il writing

tine whole depth and width OF the
piano, while the under third forms a
famous cupboard for manuscript and
gazines.-From the Girls Own Pa

From Delmonico's on Payday 70
Cheap Restaurant Saturday
Night.
Two men sat at the same table in q
cheap and popular downtown restau-
rant the other day devouring beef and
beans. The same pair may frequently
be seen at DelmonIcos. They run the
gamut OF restaurants and viands,
from "three.out' to pate de fois gras,
every week; beginning at the top on
Saturday night and sliding gently
along the descent till the bottom is
Reached Saturday noon. 1t is perhaps
needless to say that they draw sala-
rles Saturday afternoon. Both men
eat with proper decorum and deliber-
alton at Delmonico's and continue to
do SO until about halls way down the
scale toward beef and beans Then
one OF them begins to eat faster and
faster, until when the last rung of the
ladder is reached he shoves in his
food like coal into furnace. The
other maintains decorOus leisure
throughout
The latter had observed this
iarlty OF his friend some time, but
forbore to speak about it for fear of
being misunderstood, His curiosity
was aroused by this lapse OF good
manners. Did his friend only assume
gentleman!y behavior when occasion
made it necessary, and did he throw
1t aside as soon as possible and eat
like Il boor because he preferred to, or
was his character SO weak that his
tastes and actions were controlled by
his surroundings? This puzzled him.
Finally he broke silence and, assum-
ing deep interest in the health OF his
rlend warned him that fast eating
would certainly ruin his digestion.
His friend admitted the danger Then
the curious one said
Come now, Old man, seeing that
tou don't take offcnse at my men
ilonlng the matter, ! will tell you that
have been puzzled for some time as
to the reason for your gobbling your
food sometimes and not at Others

cause, and the other cause, but none
OF them seems to suit the case exactly
Will you tell me the reason?"
"Certa'nly," said the gobber, cheer

Riley with whatever success was achieved
by Mr. Rusk's predecessor. Secretary Col

for the purpose of being kept in office. In
the first place. he has accumulated some
money and is independent Of public place,
and in the second place. his reputation

he had under the Cleveland administration

Appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the District OF Columbia.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.-Secretary Nc
Comas. of the Republican national commit
tee. received the reward of personal merit
to-day in an appointment to be associate
justice OF the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia. This is q life position, and
was much sought among the lawyers of the
District of Columbia. In fact, there is q
little feeling among the District people be-
cause the President did not appoint DIS
trict man to the place. The President has
always shown himself in favor of home
rule, and If he departed from that custom
at all in this case it was in so small degree
that he has not let himself open to criticism
for lack of consistency. MIR. NcComas
lives Just outside the District of Columbia,
In Mary land, and is thoroughly familiar
with District laws and District affairs.
Attorney general Miller said to-day that
he was very much pleased with the ap-
pointment. lie knows Sir. McComas to be
IN excellent lawyer as well as q pleasant
gentleman. The only criticism on the ap
pointmcnt made by any of the District peo-
pie Is on the ground of Mr.. McComass nom
residence, and in spite of this the District
people are lavish in his praise. There is
another vacancy on the Supreme Bench of
the District and it Is expected that the
President viii, fill this with District man.
Mr.. McComas was in Washington and
called on the President to-day.

THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.

Democrats HIVE n Difficult Job In Keeping
Their Promise To Shut Out Foreigners.
Special to the indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17-One of the most
vexatious problems which will confront the
new Democratic administration and Con-
cress will lie the subject of immigration.
There Is sunquestionably sentiment all over
tho country demanding o regulation on the
present system. whereby all foreign coun-
tries are permitted TO dump their refuse
thousands on American shores. The re-
spective immigration committees in the
two houses spent many months last session
in Investigations and hearings. but they
evolved no practical results. 1t Is hardly
likely that the next session of the present
Congress, being Democratic at one end Of
the Capitol ard Republican at the other.
will be able to agree on any legislation. so
that nothing Will be accomplished until
the Democrats have full possession.
Mr. Cleveland will need all his diplo-
macy and dexterity to prevent his Con-
gress from enacting immigration laws
which may prove fatal. AS Mr.. Wana-
election was q tale of two citIes." In New
York he had almost the entire solid Irish
vote, and In Chicago 1t was the German
vote that gave the Democratic ticket sue
cess. lt womb Dc impOSSlolo 10 enact legl5-
latlon for the prevention of Italian immi-
grants entering our country. or for the ex-
clusion of the Russian jews, without in
Guiding the Irish and German immigrants.
There are no two races that are more sensi-
tive upon the subject of immigration than
the Irish and the Germans, and il would
be i'm possi BILE TO legislate on the subject
without offending them. There are in all
cities also very many influential Italians.
who would resent any reflection on
their people, while the Hebrews all
over the East and South are SO
rich and powerful that no political party
will dare to displease them. Yet in spite
of all these disadvantages and dangers the
Democratic party pledged itself during
the recent campaign to prohibit the further
influx of foreign labor. The American
workingman WAS told that he had not so
much TO fear from the competition of the
foreign workingman olong as he remained
in his factory abroad as he had to fear
from that same workinRman when he was
driven by lack of work at home to emigrate
to this country and compete with home
labor The time has come when the DEM
ocratic party has got to face this question
and act upon it.
