Piano Thumpers.

Lovers of music will be highly edited
by the perusal of New York dispatch
today giving an account of the contest
between pair of thumpers yesterday.
The account says: Prof. (?) w. J.
Waterbury is still champion long-en-
durance piano-pIayer of the world. His
record, is now seventeen hours contin-
uous playing. Professor Waterbury and
Miss Ada Melville began playing in a
museum at a. m. His record was
fourteen hours; hers was ten hours and
thirty minutes. Both were confident of
winning. To appreciate the severity of
this test of endurance it must be remem-
bered that there is no stop of any sort in
the performance for any purpose what
ever. From 9 a. m. until l :52 a. M, a
stretch of sixteen hours and fifty-two
minutes, Miss Melville never left her
seat, and never once stopped playing.
At :52 yesterday morning she collapsed.
Her hands fell from the keys to her lap,
and she was too exhausted to raise them.
She was utterly prostrated. The pro-
fessor himself, after the collapse of Miss
Melville, played on for eight minutes,
establishing the record of seventeen
hours. Miss Melville's right wrist is
swelled and stiff, and the middle finger
of the right hand is swollen and sore.
The finger tips of both hands are numb
and blistered. The professors thumbs
are nearly twice their regular size.

THE PONY KNEW HIS BUSINESS.
Idaho Man Takes in Large Amount Of Cash
on an Odd Bet.

Memphis Special to Louisville Courier Journal.
DR.. Miller, of Idaho, is the pos
SCISSOR of $4,000 in cash and farm
worth a thousand or two more,
which he did not have prior to 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. He
won it all from local sports who
picked him up for a sucker. The
doctor arrived here few days ago
with a drove of ponies, which he
offered for sale at low prices.
Among them was little beast
that nobody would bid on at all.
The doctor remarked casually in a
crowd that the pony which the buy
ers rejected was the best of the lot,
for he could pull 30O-pound bag
of sand attached to rope half
mile long for distance of ten
feet. He added carelessly that he
would bet on it. A dozen men
took him up, and in less than no
time about $4,000 in money and
100 acres of land in Iowa were wag-
cred that the pony could not do the
trick.
The sports were so sure that they
gave odds, and the doctor calmly
covered every bet. The trial took
place some hours later out on
turnpike in the presence of a con-
siderable crowd. The sack of sand
was weighed and the rope carefully
measured. Then the doctor, ac-
companied by one of the judges,
took the pony to the other end of
the line and hitched him to the
rope. The little animal moved off
with a gradual pull until the rope
became taut and dragged the bag
twenty-five feet. The gradual pull
was the secret of the feat, and the
pony had often performed it be-
FIRE.

Basis.
San Francisco News.
Almost anywhere about the old
adobe building a pan of dirt will
show a good color of gold dust,
How this gold came to be scattered
about is explained by a few old
pioneers who lived with General
Suffer. One source of loss was by
the prevailing process of cleaning
the gold of dross and black sand.
This was done by blowing with the
mouth or a small hand bellows.
Another waste occurred in the
bar room, which was located on
the east side Of the fort in the base
ment. 1t was customary, when a
man wanted drink, to deposit his
buckskin sack upon the bar, and
and after the liquor was disposed
of the barkeeper walked up to the
bag, opened it and with his for-fin-
ger and thumb took liberal pinch
Of the shining dust.
Sometimes the buckskin bag
leaked, and the careless miner in
his perambulations would leave
behind him a train of the yellow
dust, like farmer going to mill
with his wheat sacks carelessly
united.

THE SALVATION ARMY,
Attacked by . Mob At Eastbourne, England. and
Badly Used.

London, Jan. 31.-There was
rioting in Eastbourne today, caused
by the salvation army holding a
special celebration to commemorate
the founding of the corps. After
the usual morning services the sal
vationists marched through the
streets under police protection and
were disturbed only by the running
comments and chaff from the
crowds on the sidewalks. In the
afternoon mob rapidly collected
at the salvation army citadel and
as the soldiers" filed out they were
subjected to more chaff, accompan-
led by the singing of ribald paro-
dies, yelling and hooting. Several
hundred well-dressed men formed
a corps. twenty abreast, surging up,
followed by the army, to the beech
where it was proposed to hold a
meeting. Along the whole route
windows, balconies and even car
riages and the streets were filled
with citizens and visitors watching
the scene.
HUGE MOB
awaited the army at the sea front.
The police had great difficulty in
clearing a way for the soldiers"
who had to cling tenaciously to
their instruments and flags, without
daring even to attempt to play
note.
Directly the service begun the
mob swept down upon the army,
shouting, "Throw them into the
sea-" The forces of the DO lice
were augmented, and they behaved
most creditably, resisting rush
after rush, although nearly over
powered by numbers. The saliva
tionists were pelted with pebbles
by their foes through the hour they
semained on the beach. When the
service was ended the members of
the army commenced the return
march. They climbed to the par

their assailants making frequent
but failing to capture the salvation
lists flag. The desperate hand-to
hand encounters with the policemen
were continued. A few clergymen
and soldiers were present, but held
aloof. When the struggling crowd
reached a point opposite the Bur-
hotel, the police having
become exhausted, another rally
was made and it proved successful.
The flag was siezed and
TORN INTO sHREDs,
the caps were torn from the heads
of the salvationists and thrown
into the air and kicked into the
roadway. Some frail lasses swooned
from pain and fright ard were
nearly trampled upon. The scene
of violence continued until the |
army retreated into the citadel, F,
and even then the mob was 10th to
disperse, and still came into col
lision with the police. Several sal
vationists were badly injured, and
their uniforms were all spoiled.

THE SUPPOSITIOUS TROUBLE
With Chile Manufactured by People
Who Have a Direct Interest In Secur.
ing u Big Appropriation.

ex-senator john y. lnBalls at the
Grand Pacific today. 'The Balti-
more was in the harbor of Valpar
also, where she had no business to
be. She had right to be there to
be sure and being there our flag
and uniform were entitled to re-
spect, but she had no business
there. Her sailors went on shore
and got into an alteration. The
Chileans tell different story as to
the row, but some of our men were
hurt. Had they and their ship
been where they ought to have
been, in the harbor of San Fran
cisco, New York, Boston or some
other American seaport, they would
not have been hurt. The Balti-
more and all other warships of our
navy were built for the alleged pur-
pose of protecting our maritime
cities from assault by other powers.
She couldn't do that lying in the
harbor of Valparaiso, but the Off
Gals wanted to make a show of
action and they sent the Baltimore
to Valparaiso where she had no
business as they sent the rest of the
fleet to other places where they
have no business.
"The suggestions trouble with
Chile was manufactured by people
who bave a direct interest in secur-
ing big appropriation from con-
gress to build an expensive, useless,
unnecessary navy. 1t was the an
hual war scare which is gotten up
by these same people last about the
beginning of every congress"
"Do we not need navy?"
''No, sir. A navy will only get
us into trouble, just as the Balti-
more did. There is no necessity
for this country sending a lot of
warships staggering around the
earth, saying: The United States
must be respected D. it, the
United are respected without any
bullying of that sort. The United
States do not need to play the roll
of a bad man. We no more need |
big navy than we need big
army"
without navy what could be
done in case of trouble?"
'In sixty or ninety days we
would improvise navy that would
astonish the world and defeat any
thing sent against us. We did in
1861 before the civil war began. |
The rebels dispersed the navy to
the four quarters of the globe. We
had not ship worth damning.
Yet we blockaded 5000 miles of
sea coast, closed the Mississippi to
incursion and opened it to COM
mercs and created a navy surpass-
ing anything in the world We
can do it again. We can buy the
navy of any country in the world
Great Britain, Germany, France,
Italy-at fifty cents on the dollar.
We should protect our own country,
there should be great guns on every
head and the torpedo-boat system
should be extended and improved.
Turn Edison loose on that idea for
a month, and see if he doesn't in
vent a balloon whence dynamite
could be dropped on the decks of
hostile vessels. Powerful coast de-
lenses, good torpedo boats, practic.
able war balloons and minding our
own business, and cease from a
policy what excels in building
navies where the impenetrable
armor of today is met with he
irresistible projectile of tomorrow" |
