COSTLY VIOLINS.
The Remarkable Price of 1890 Paid
for an Antique S5radivarius.
From the London Daily News.


From the London Daily News.
A Stradivarius violin was sold the
other day at Puttick & Simpsons for
$500, that being the highest price yet
secured for a fiddle in the auction room.
This fact has caused some inquiry to be
made into the rapid rise in the value of
the violins Of the great Cremona maker,
whose workshop Mr.. Edgar Bundy
has so graphically depicted in a paint
ing in the present Royal Academy EGhi-
bition. It seems that q fine "Str2d'
was sold in 1905 for 800, but by 1887,
when the late James Goding's collection
was brought to the hammer at Chrlstle's,
a Stradivarium violin fetched 600, and
q viola by the same maker f2l2. in 1877
a "Strad " since rechristened by It's un-
fortunate owner THE Emperor" realized
$3.50 at the sale of the collection of Mr..
elliott, thepenmaker, and 1t would prob
ably now not be parted with Tor four times
that amount The auction price Of
"Stradn has since reached $3.50, and 1t is
quite possible that before the present
century is over the sum will pass INTO
four figures, while the price at the fiddle
fancier's is already a good deal higher.
1t seems that the increase Of cost Is due
partly to the demand for old violins from
the United States, partly TO the wish OF
every volinist of note to posses at least
one example Of the famous maker. DR..
Joachim, for instance, has three. Doubt
less the bloated capitalist might step in
and make a corner" in these prized in
struments. were it not for the fact that
to discriminate between genuine
oStrad" and an old copy requires enor-
NOUS skill and experience, while but few
experts can tell whether genuine Strad-
ivlrius has not at some remote time been
titted with a new head, and thus half
ruined from a commercial point of view,
or has in some way been damaged and
cleverly repaired.

As per announcement Rev Howard Billman of Tucson, was at Arizola last Sabbath. and delivered tbe sermon at the service in the afternoon. The dis course was very interesting and highly esteemed by all who listened to it.
 After the service those interested remained to consider the subject Of erection of church editice at Arizola. The meeting organized by electing Rev H. A. Thompson chairman, and Allen T. Bird, secretary.
 An informal discussion drew out the sense of the meeting that it WAS adyis- able to constitute an agency for eol- lection of funds and contributions of material, property and labor, and use and expend the same toward the ob- feet in view. It was decided to create "Presbyterian Mission Committee, with power to act as above described until relieved by regular church or ganization.
 Selection of the committee was next in order and C. s. LeBaron, Mrs. All len T. Bird, Mrs. NJ. R. Moore, Elwood Hadley and Albert Grover were the unanimous choice of the meeting.
 Asa matter of history, suggested by Reverend Billman. the names of all peesent were recorded in the minutes, and will be preserved in the records of the committee and the archives of the church that is to follow.
 The work before the committee will prove of no small magnitude, and it will require a great deal of time and much attention, but it will be yigor- ously taken in hand and persislently and intelligently followed until success crowns all.

FOREIGN IN BRIEF.

The report that Queen Victoria had been
stricken with paralysis is entirely without
foundation.
The death of reported cholera patient
in Berlin last week caused great scare in
that city. 1t is denied that the diagnosis of
the disease was correct.
DURING the religious riots in the city OF
Bombay, India, over / 900 Mohammedans
were arrested. The number Of deaths of
those injured in the riots is much larger
than at first reported.
SEVERE earthquakes have occurred along
the Italian Adriatic coast, resulting in large
loss of life. The train service was inter-
rupted, and it is conjectured that much
damage to property has been done in many
towns along the coast.
LATE advices from China regarding the
disaster at the Canton powder works give
the number of persons killed at over fifty,
and badly injured at nearly 5000 Over
1000 families were rendered homeless by
the collapsing Of their houses.
Ii HUNG CHAG, the viceroy of China has
written the state department at Washing
ton, saying that for the present no retaliat-
ing measure will be initiated as regards
citizens of the United States resident in
China, and further that every effort will be
made to protect them and their interests in
peace and safety till the assembling of con-
gress in regular session.

4 FATAL RIOT


Between Frenchmen and Italians in
FIance-Ten Lives Lost.
A BLOODY battle between French and
Italian workmen occurred in Aigues- Mortes,
department of Gard, France, last week
The fight began in the street at noon and
lasted for nearly two hours. The police
made repeated efforts to stop the trouble,
without success. Ten men were killed and
forty more were wounded severely. Troops
and police wereitaken from Nimes.to Aigues-
Mortes to restore order. After the fight the
French workingmen, who had beaten the
Italians, started a man hunt to exterminate
the foreign workingmen in the town. They
attacked with knives and clubs every
Italian that they caught. The Italians fled
from the town, and most of those who had
been in the fight took possession of farm
buildings and barricaded the doors. The
troops who were summoned to restore order,
rescued them early in the evening, drove
away the French workingmen, and escorted
the Italians TO the railway station, where
most of the men took train for Marseilles.

SAD DOWNF1LL OF EDITOR WAL
TER OF ST. JOHNSB URY.
He Is Charged with Forgery and Is said
to Owe Over 100000.

CHARLES T. WALTER was, last week
Thursday removed from the position of
manager of the st. Johnsbury Republican,
position which Mr.. Walter has held
since 1885, That same day Mr.. Walter was
arrested, charged with forgery. He was
given a hearing, waived an examination,
and was bound over to the December term
of county court, his bail being fixed at
$1,000, which was furnished by family
friends. 1t is charged that Walter had
forged the name of Colonel Truman G.
Fletcher, one of the most prominent men in
St Johnsbury, to the amount of $500.
The Lyndon Savings Bank of Lyndonville
discounted two notes over two years ago of
$1,000 and $4,000. Last January, Walter
presented note of 81, 700 to the Citizens
Bank of st. Johnsbury. This was dis
counted for month and renewed seven
times, Walter forging Fetcher's name
every month, 1t is said that Walters in
debtedness is not far from $4,000, most of
which is held by St. Johnsbury banks,
with good endorsement. He is reported
much Frustrated physically. What Mr..
Walter did with his money is subject of
speculation in ST. Johnsbury, as he was
not known to dabbe in stocks, or to appar-
emily live beyond his means.
