rae PIANO AND THE PLAYER.


How rich was the blended sweetness
Thai flowed from the silent keys
At tho touch Of the gentle fingers
That moved with qnecnly easel
TIN the hearers strangely wondered
Whence the royal sounds could come;
For without the gifted player
The notes had been mute and dumb
But at her touch there was music
And harmony. TIL the soul
Was borne by the rising pinions
where the songs Of glory roll
II was not the piano only;
II was not the moving keys,
II was ali IN the young musician
Her ingers-ali came from these
And yet the cold notes were needed,
Knd oil that was hid within;
Twas not only the players fingers
Il They could not the sweetness win,
II there hid not been sweet responses
And yiobiinR TO her touch
50 tho instrument needed playing
And she needed Il - much.
Alone We are mute and silent;
But n the great Masters hand
Ii iail on tho Idle keyboard,
What music may cheer the land
The praise must be allthe players,
Submission must be our part,
And His sgill viii get blended sweetness
From every yielded heart.

BERLIN, April 8.-The government
has made a strong protest in Paris
against the action of the French postal
authorities in OBTAINING for week the
letters sent by German named Kurtz
to the German Consul in Rouen and
the German Ambassador in Paris.
Kurtz was arrested in Rouen as a
spy and imprisoned. He wrote letters
protesting his innocence to Count Mum
ster and to the local Consul on the first
day of his imprisonment. AS no proof
of his guilt could be obtained by the
authorities, he was released week
later, and was expelled from the coun-
try without having received even an
apology. After he was across the Dor

JACKSON FORCES JOIN LOCKE.
Looks Like a Civil War Between Mem
bers of the Choctaw Nation.

Antlers, I. T., April S.-Jackson, the
defeated candidate for governor, over
whom the Antlers war has been raised,
Joined Locke and his force in the fort
during the night The militia look upon
it as a critical move against them as
the entire Nationalist party are behind
Jackson, and it is thought that he has
perfected arrangements by which he
can call upon his friends and they will
immediately respond, mounted and
armed. The militia now think that
should they attack Locke they would
in turn be attacked from the rear by
Jackson's followers. Capt. Key Durant
this morning sent out a detachment OF
twenty men to look over the surround
ing country for Jackson's men, and
should any be found they will be driv-
en- from the country by the militia.
The militia was strengthened at u
o'clock last night by the arrival of eighty
men, who responded to the call of Gov.
Jones. 1t now looks like a civil war
between the original Jones and Jackson
factions, as both men are on the scene.

MISAPPROPRIATED PROPERTY.
Convincing Testimony in the Weather

Washington, April en- the weather
bureau investigation today Captain-of-
Watch Brandon was the first to be
called.
His testimony went to show that the
property of the clerk had been ignored
and, as he claimed, he had orders from
Disbursing Officer Stone placing him in
charge of the store room.
In this capacity he disposed of proper
ty of the department at such prices as
he chose. There appeared wide dis
crepancies in the prices and when called
upon to explain this he said his books
were stolen.
He admitted he sent furniture to the
private houses of several of the chiefs
of divisions, to Major Harringtons resi-
dence and to his own home. Some of
these things he had recently returned to
the department but not all of them.
He also claimed that he had seen
stored in the cellar at Sergeant Ryan'S
house over $1,000 worth of belongings
of the department.
Sergeant Ryan is an employe of the

NEW YORK, April S.-The athletic
clubs Of New Orleans are sure of get
ting the Corbett- Mitchell fight, for
they have an idea that prize fights,
like the lottery, can flourish only in
that State. The Conev Island Athletic
Club insists that the authorities there
will permit the battle to take place.
and the best legal talent in BROOKLYN
has decided that there is no law to pre-
vent 1T. The Sheriff of the county saws
he will do his duty. but this means
that should the District ATTORNEY de-
eide the contest is lawful he will not
interfere
The New Orleans clubs think the
fight can be obtained for less money
and hope to practice economy by not
bidding. The trouble is that both
Mitchell and Corbett are quite expert
in money matters and each knows that
when the New York club offers $40, 600,
the offer means ready cash. The repu.
tation of the New Orleans club has
suffered since the Hall-Fitzsimmons
fight. 1t is now known that the club
will not stand a losing venture A
promise to pay is all right, but people
want all such promises fulfilled to the
letter. If Coney Island can furnish
any proof that the authorities will not
interfere it will get the fight.

NEW YORK, April 6.-The Hon.
Honore MERCER, eXPremier OF Quebec,

eve do not want to become a part
of tie United States by way of a

Great Britain. When Napoleon sold
Louisiana he sold the sugar fields
and threw in the population.
Great Britain might sell Canada
in the same way-seu our rail
roads. our canals, our public buildings
and sell our public lands and throw US
in; take the millions and leave US our
debts. For the assumption of our
$500, 900, 600 public debt we could offer
to the United States more than a full
equivalent. Besides the great rail-
roads and other public works, for
which these debts have been con
tracted. we have IN the fertile belt of
the Northwest 200. eco, 600 acres of pub
lie lands which viii raise great crops
of wheat. Once relieve us of the bur
den of federal government and our
revenues would be available for many
public uses.

DECLARED OFF.
The International Billiard Tournament
Has Been Postponed.

New YORK, April S.-The Interna-
tional Billiard Tournament that was
to have been played in this city has
been declared off and the S., 600 offered
as prizes withdrawn. When it was
suggested that it was extremely i'm
probabl that the foreign experts would
consent to come over unless their ex-
penses were forwarded, Smith in-
structed Morris DAILY to write them,
guaranteeing each $3.50 out of his own
pocket, in addition to the S., 900 al
ready donated. But none of the French
players of note will accept. Schaefer
has broken his wrist, Ives will not be
a competitor, and George Slosson is
the only prominent player willing to
enter the list. This has caused Smith
to abandon the idea of an international
tournament.

Arizona for statehood.

Republicans are making a strong effort
to delay action on the nomination of
the President for Governor of Ari-
IONA" says the Baltimore sun CORE
spondent. 1.-THE Legislature of Ari-
IONA will adjourn in about ten days.
The Senate of the Territory is
strongly Democratic, and if a Demo-
cratic Governor is put in office
at once his appointments of
all local officials will, OF course, be
promptly confirmed by the Senate. To
have all Territorial officers in accord
with the Democratic party is of much
Importance, in view of the fact that
full preparations for Statehood are ex-
pected to be made during the coming
summer, and it is believed Arizona
will be admitted into the union at the
next session of Congress.

the fee will be as high as the law will
permit. The no license people say they
expect to show by the way saloons are
to be conducted that no license is best
for the town. There We're only sixty
nine arrests in the two years of no Ii
