TO AMATEUR MUSICIANS.


How to become Pianist In n Com para
lively Short Time.
Let us hope there are many who wVuld
like to improve in pianoforte playing
those who. fond of music. have but
little time to devote to it-many who do
not expect or desire to become profess
sional players. or even first rate pianists,
yet who like TO cultivate music as a re-
source for themselves and to give pleas
ure TO their friends. 1t is for these The
Housewife gives the following points:
Much practicing of scales and exercises
is no doubt useful and in many cases alb
Solutely essential for students who in
tend to devote half their life to the study
of the pianoforte, but most of us after
earliest youth have neither time nor in
clination for this plodding work. Let us
therefore learn our alphabet thoroughly
| first. Learn to read easily all the notes
not SO unnecessary hint as it may APP
pear-all those ledger lines, treble and
bass. so tiresome to the young, that we
may not guess at the notes, and there
fore scramble over them when we come
to play our music. Let US make ourselves
acquainted with all the marks and their
meanings, perfect ourselves in time, and
then we may select a piece we should
| like to learn.
Each performer has his or her favorite
composer. 1t matters not whose music
is selected. Some declare Beethoven to
have been the greatest composer who
ever lived. Others, who cannot soar
quite so high, they say, prefer tuneful
Haydn or merry, musical Mozart. :"
Others again appreciate only the roman
tic school and pin their faith on Chopin
or Schubert. Much latitude may be al
lowed in the selection of music. provided
it be conscientiously studied. Whatever
piece is chosen should be carefully read
through first without the piano. When
the notes look quite familiar, they NAV
be played. The treble should be first at
tempted, each bar carefully gone
through, great attention being paid TO
the lingering and marks. Next the bass
should be played in the same manner,
then treble and bass together, and the
music will be comparatively easy. All
new pieces should be taken slowly at
first, and each note should be carefully
and distinctly enunciated. as if the pupil
were speaking with her fingers. Moth
ing is ever lost by taking the time slow
ly. When the piece can be played
through, the student must try to under
stand it-find out the composers mean

Fashion Notes.

Triple capes remain in favor.
Coats with the full back are now made
fuller than ever.
For everyday use coats are of simple
shape, double breasted, with strapped
seams and stitched edges.
Sleeves have more material in them
then they had last summer. but they are
made to droop softly from the arm holes
and widen below.
Deep circular caps are used to trim
close sleeves and are useful in remodel
ing old dresses.
The basque has not interfered with the
popularity of the blouse and belted
waist.

Increased Speed and nIc,cIe sulkIe.

Robert Bonner, owner of the ex-trotting
queens Maud and Sunol, has always
claimed that the bicycle sulky is largely
responsible for the increased speed of trot-
tiers since the day when Maud S made her
record of BOSS. Mr.. Bonner says: II see
that AliX was not able to beat 2;15l5 after
trying twice to the high wheeled sulky, but
after she was tired by trotting four heats
in 2:ls, 2:lTa, 2;l5is, 2:l5}s-and four such
heats on Il heavy track to the old Sulky
will tire any horse-she trotted in 2:l2ls to
the new vehicle. That tells a story" In

Cleveland TO equal or beat loss to high

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
THE TOWN FINANCES.

~"
The report of the special town COM
mittee. which we publish to-day. shows a
disgraceful state of affairs in the select
mems Office. The peoples money has
been squandered and the selectmen have
not given nor can they give salts
flctory explanation of their remarkable
juggling of finances.
The affairs of the town have not been
conducted on business principles, nor &C
cordinS to law. What business man would
expend S25, 900 or 5000 upon work such
as that under discussion, without first OBJ
tanning bids from responsible contractors ?
A town ought not to engage in risky spec
ulations nor be less careful how it ex-
ponds its money than is the average con-
sentative business man.
The harm has been done, however. and
it seems to us the best way ont of the diff
Guilty is to pay the bills and take such
action as will make it impossible for dis
honest or Incompetent officials in the flu
ture to make such shameful use of their
power. o
The DENoCRAr is not moved in this
mltter by partisan zeal. 1t is case in
which all taxpayers of Waterbury have an
equal interest. In fact most of the work
on the new almshouse was performed by
democrats. But that doesnot matter. The
selectmen have been false to their trust,
have squandered the public money and are
grossly incompetent. Their annual report
was held back until election day, and was
incomplete and deceptive. 1t was simply
a bluff at IL report, if We may be pardoned
for using the expression.
TnE credit for bringing about uncondi-
tional repeal belongs to President Cleve-
land. His manly stand for the Voorhees,
bill, at II time when its case seemed hope
less and compromise was said to be the
best which could be had, spread dismay
among tina obstructionists and preoipitated
the crisis.
A HAvERHILL policeman has let an
offender slip out of his clutches, but it is
believed that he will not be punished for
it, He chased a man who had stolen a
piece of fresh meat from butchers shop
to his home. and there saw his starving
children eating the beef raw because they
could not wait TO have it cooked Instead
of arresting the man for theft and the
| children as accessories in the crime. he
walked back to the butchers shop and paid
for the meat.
One of the oldest and most respected
members of the United States senate is re-
ported rs saying that. for the honor and
reputation of that body, he is heartily glad
that the repeal Till is out of the way and a
| recess imminent. He adds that he has
never in his long service known senators
to be SO reSentful, so sensitive to criticism
and so utterly lacking in patience and
charitableness as they have been during
the contest just ended. Several times he
has feared that personal encounters if not
bloodshed would follow the misunderstood
ings and recriminations that have occurred
on the floor. and he regards it as exceed
ingly fortunate for the honor of the senate
that it escaped this disgrace.

TIE LIBERTY BELL.

Where congress met and freedom flung
Our starry banner to the breeze
Exultingly its iron tongue
All thro' that summer morning sung
Our newborn liberties.
1t told the ending of the night.
The happy dawn of freedoms day,
And overland there flashed light
OF brotherhood and human right,
The end of kingly sway.
Oh, how the good old bell told out
The joyous tale of freedoms birthi
From east to west, from north to south.
The message of it's brazen mouth
Rolled all around the earthl
1t sung the birthright Of the race,
The glory of the brave and free,
And pealing from its sacred place
1t set the whole wide world ablaze
With dreams of liberty.
TITS old, and utters now no sound,
But yet its echoes ring sublime!
Its resting place is holy ground
To freedoms sons, wherever found,
Until the end of time.
