voice. Musical instruments repre-
sent three distinct qualities Of
adopted by the best European
teachers. Solo, duet, quartette
and chorus singing all require
special and distinctive training for
their several purposes. Musical
theory must go hand in hand with
practice in order that the pupil may
practice intelligently. Harmony

studies, and the ambitious pupil can

GOOD SHOWING BY LOCAL RIDERS.
From the splendid showing made by local
wheelmen, there is no reason why some. if
not all Of these records should not be lowered
by the end of the season; and, in fact, it is
SAID one OF them has but recently been re-
duced by J. J. Fister, Of the Washington
Road Club, during his recent twenty-tour
hour attempt, he having lowered the time
for 2G0 miles, but it is not known whether a
claim has been sent in to establish the alleged
record.
AS far as can be ascertained, the longest
ride ever claimed to have been made in "a
hours over the country roads was made some
years ago on an ordinary by Hillman G. Whit
aker, near Charlottesville, Ind. He is said to
have covered some 1923 miles. F. Ed Sponer
who holds the track record for "a hours
made at Chicago, claimed a record of 800
miles on an ordinary machine, but the course
being partially over asphalt boulevard, the
record was never established as a road rec
ord, in the true sense of the term.
Probably the first and most authentic o.
hour safety bicycle ride to be established was
made by Mr.. Petticord, Pittsburg rider,
who made 264 miles over ordinary roads
early in the spring Of 1898.
This record was broken by J.. c. Wahl, a
local rider. over what is known as the Conduit
road, extending some twelve miles west of
washington. Wanl'6 run was made under
the management of the Washington Road
Club. the distance covered being 274 miles.
Through the ignorance of the officers of the
club of the rules governing road records no
timers and checkers were stationed at the
ends OF the course, the rider heing accom-
panied by two pace-makers on each trip. Al
though there was little doubt expressed as to
distance covered, the record could never have
been sanctioned by a record committee. but
xrac fhrnnOh No fol1 off, ha -
J. ]. Fister. of the Georgetown Cycle Club,
was the next to try for the record and was
said to have covered 279 miles or miles bet
ter than the previous record. The record was
questioned on the ground the ride was not
made in accordance with racing rules. L. C.
Wahl made a second try and claims to have
covered 29714 miles under great difficulties,
his wheel being twice punctured, vexatious
delays occurring as his relief wheels were six
miles away.
This record, 1t Is thought, would stand till
the present season, but Edward Yeatman, a
member of the Washington Club, who had
paced Wahl on his last ride claims to have
made Sl1 miles. Yeatman is said to have
sent his claims to the Chicago roads commit
tee for approval,
YEATMAN's FINE RECORD.
There were no more attempts to lower the
phenomenal record claimed by Yeatman un-
til the present season, when Petticord, the
Pittspurg rider, attempted to regain his lost
laurels by riding over a course in Indiana.
He failed to touch any Of the records of local
riders. and has made no further trial.

He forget the men scattered all over

MIR Fitch was followed by Surrogate
Arnold, who also touched upon Mr. Hew-

craftsmanship. He said Mr. Hewitt
would not be happy if his remarks were
not criticised, and he reminded him of a
boy on the Fourth of July whose cannon
went'off prematurely,
Following MIR. Arnold, Seldom Macon
of New Orleans, spoke. He referred TO
Mr.. Hewitt's speech saying: If the
days OF Webster and Calhoun and Benja-

south have not neglected their southern
manners. They have before now
marched to the polls through lines
of bayonets and recorded their
votes in the interest of good government,
and they have always upheld the laws of
their country. They always believed in
what was right and just, no matter what
their detracTors may say, and nave always
believed In the constitution"
This concluded the speech making.

They have, of course, and IL is not sur

flavor of Turkish tobacco with mocha.

and there's nothing intrinsically I'M

white smoke curling cut from between

DEPORTATION OF THE NEGRO.
The knights of Labor in Favor of the
Scheme.

Memphis. Tenn, Feb. 24.-The knights
of Labor of the United States are about
to start upon a campaign, having for its
object the removal of the negroes from
the United States, and their colonization
in the Congo basin, Liberia, or some other
part of Africa.
The first substantial step looking in
that direction was taken in Memphis to.
night, when the trades council was
called to meet to make arrange
ments to entertain Grand Master
Workman Sovereign of the knights
of Labor, who will make a tour of the
south during March, and lecture in the
principal cities upon this subject. The
Undertaking is not a new one in the ranks
of the knights of Labor, for it has pro-
crossed so far that the order in every
state of the union has been polled on the
question, and every state has found been
favorable to the movement.
General Master Workman Sovereign is
thoroughly imbued with the spirit of
the undertaking, and for some time to
come will give it his unlimited atteu zion.
His first step 10 this direction will be
the contemplated lecturing tour to the
south, when his sole theme will be the
deportation and colonization of the ne
gro.
This tour will begin early in March and
last throughout the mouth. One of the
points he will touch is Memphis. He will
take in every important city in the south,
including New Orleans, Atlanta, Nash
Vile, Birmingham, Chattanooga, Mont
gomery and many others.

LUR1D LEGENDS FOR LADIES.
Did the Devil Ever Choke a Beautiful
WomanP Neverl Never!
W,

A discussion interesting to the ladies Is
now running through some of the French
papers. Briefly stated, the question is
whether or not beauty has anything to do
with the kindling of the tender passion.
Handsome women say yes; homely ones,
or, to be more correct, the less beautiful,
say no. In proof of the soundness of their
platform, which rejects the plank of af-
lection for loneliness only, the latter have
unearthed the musty old legend of the
loves of Leila and Megnoun.
When the King of Persia heard of the
smitten young man, he sent for him and
asked him how it was that he had become
so desperately spoony.
I'm order 10 understand that" replied
Megnoun, ''you would have TO see my lady
love" 2e =
Well" said the king, "let,s see the
wonder"
Leila was brought before him. She was
red-headed, scraggy squint-eyed, stump
nosed and freckled- faced. =
"A thousand blizzards!" roared his
majesty as this the 'object of your ex-
traordinary ardor? Splinter my sceptre
The meanest slave In my kitchen is better
looking than she!"
Then judge how | must love her." said
Megnoun, .'since she is as beautiful in my
eyes as she is homely in yours!"
But, not to be outdone, the opposition
put Queen Olympias, the wife of Philip Of
Macedon, on the stand. She had reason
to believe that her husband was sweet on
lady in Thessaly. She resolved to sac
rihce the woman to her vengeance She
was convinced that the Thessalian beauty
was sorceress, and that she had cast
spell over her royal spouse. But when
she saw her intended victim and gazed at
the marvellous beauty Of her features ard
form, and the air of dignity and grace
which accompanied all her movements
the queen exclaimed: II forgive youi
know your spell! To love you is only
TO see you!n
So far so good. But here comes the
lurid legend Of the famous Ninon de Len
clos. Ninon hourished during the reigns
of Louis XIV and Louis XIV, and many
enthusiastic descriptions have been given
OF her incompatible charms.
Well, one fine day Mile de Lenclos was
quietly seated in her parlor when the SER
want came to announce 10 her that gen.
tleman wished TO see her, but that he
would not give his name. She told the
servant 70 say to the stranger that she
was engaged with company and could not
see him.
II know very well, " said the stranger
10 the servant, "that mademoiselle is
alone. Go back and tell her that have a
matter OF the very highest Importance TO
communicate 10 her"
This strange reply tickled the curiosity
OF Mile. dc Lenclos She gave orders to
admit him. He appeared before her.
He was a little old man, clad Ia black.

her and returned it to the company from
which she purchased it and on which but

the bell and in loud tones demanded that

only the night before, at midnight, and

very, very difficult, there being no bridges
across the streams except where trees
had been cut down, and the porters found
it very hard work carrying the women.
My wife walked nearly half the

barrassment, laid down upon the floor
and ordered his measurement taken. The
coffin will be made of two-inch oak, firmly
bolted together, and will be 6 feet 8
