HERE'S 4 RARE VIOLIN.
It Antedates the Declaration of indie
pendence and Has a History.

II Antedates the Declaration of INDIE
pendence and Has a History.
Probably one of the oldest aud
most valuable yiolins to be found on
Long Island is owned by Prof George
Hewmaun. the well-kno musician
whose country residence is in the
picturesque north side village of
Huntington says the New York Ad-
vertiser. The instrument is of Italian
make and Mr. Hewmann thinks il is
the only one of its make in this couu-
try.
According to the stamp on the in
side of the top OF the instrument it
was made by David Tichler in 1907.
The present owner OF the violin
bought it from friend named Horatio
Benson. whose home was at Syosett
l. l.. in 1861. MIR. Benson was tai
ented musician aud played in theaters
| in this city after coming to this coun-
try in 1900 Benson sought seclusion
at Soysett in his old age and while he
was there MIR. hewmann came into
possession OF the violin.
Soon after receiving the instrument
! from Benson Mr. Hewmann sent it to
StrodeL in this city TO be repaired.
1t was not until then that the fact Of
its ancient manufacture became known
to It's owner. for on taking it apart
Strodel found the makers name on
the inside inscribed in quaint Roman
letters and the year 1867.
MIR Hewmann has often received
flatterlug offers for his violin. Not
only have these offers come from
curiosity hunters but from some OF
the leading musicians of the present
day.
The instrument is indeed hand
some one and possesses a tone of rare
richness being fairly loud but entire
ly devoid OF harshnass The sweet
strains OF the old instrument have
been heard on both continents and in
nearly every city in the old and new
world.
