well groomed.
The red rays of the setting sun filtered
into the room through the boughs of a
budding tree, outlining on the tapestried
wall the maiden.like contours of the
young leaves in group of dancing
elfland sprites. Using their wand with
Natures impartiality, the magic rays
tipped with gold the scattered gray
hairs commingled in the locks that
graced the temples OF The Man.
The Man held in his soft and tapering
fingers lock of hair. "Only woman S

For long time The Man sat in
silence, gazing at the little silken lock,

Twittering sparrows filled the tree, and
their shadows on the tapestried wall
seemed the dance Of evil hobgoblins.

the west as the sun dropped behind a
cloud as if it had been seized and

Cracksmen forced an entrance to the
pawnbroker shop kept by Myer
Davidow, 1876 Market street, Wednesday
night, and stole watches, diamonds, and
other valuables amounting to $1,000.
They forced an entrance by picking the
lock of the hall door opening into the
street, and by breaking the lock of the
store door with a railroad coupling-pin,
which was left behind.
They smashed the glass of the show
case and stole 80 gold-lilled watches,
gold chains and rings, and 100 solid
gold rings, sctwith sapphires and rubies,
and six rings set with diamonds. The
burglars failed to connect with the safe,
which contained diamonds and jewelry
to the value Of about $4,000.
In the hallway the thieves took down
all the clothing hanging or the wall and
placed it on the floor to deaden the
sound of their footsteps. They made
their escape by going out rear entrance
which led through an alleyway to
Second street. No one heard them and
there is no clue to the perpetrators of tie
robbery. Mr.. Davidow has offered a
reward Of 800 for their capture. State
Detectives Witsil and McVcy have been
notified and togther with the police are
working on the case.

The greater part of Thursdays ses-
sion of City Council was consumed in
acting on bills.
The city treasurer reported $50, 1888
in Union National Bank to the credit OF
the city's current expenses. lie alsn re.
ported the following receipts; From
Collector Saycrs, $3.50, city and school
taxes for 1892, aud 500, similar taxes
for 1893; from Collector Mitchell, 5000,
horse and mule tax for 1902, and $500,
similar taxes for 1893. The correctness
of his accounts was certified to by the
city auditor.

Gil be represented ut the meeting in re-
gard to improving streets and market
houses, was received and noted.

mayor had approved the ordinance to
amend the ordinance to further reor-
ganize the Fire Department and it was
declared to be a law.
After the adjournment of Council the
members of that body, in response to a
request from Mr.. Staats, listened to n
statement made by Philip L. Layman,
late second assistant engineer at the
garbage crematory. He said he had
tried to do his duty and the Board OF
Health had turned him down without
cause. He had in his pocket a recon-
incubation which, he judged, would
secure him position anywhere except
for what had been published in the
newspapers respecting him. Mr.. Lewis,
u member of the Board of Health, had
told him that he had been misinformed
concerning his work at the crcmatory.
DIR. Frantz, another member, had been
saying that he Che speaker) is drawing

ask the city for Il job" He had in his
pocket paper which would tell whether
he is getting $72 OF one-third thai
amount per month. In conclusion, III
stated he would like the wrong to b(
righted in some way.

CLEVELAND, o., May 1.-THE con.
ference between soft-coal miners and
operators ended tonight without ac-
complishing the object for which it
was called-the settlement of the great
strike.
After the joint conference committee
had reported that they could not agree
II. l.. Chapman of Ohio, an operator
and member of the conference com
mittee, made brief address. lie re-
counted the history of the committee
meeting, and said that the operators
offered Go and 56-cent scale, while the
miners still held out for 10 and 70 cents.
He said that in view of the present
depression and the strained condition OF
manufacturing interests the operators
could not concede the advance asked.
President Mcbride was the first
speaker for the miners. He said he was
willing to have vote taken on the COM
promise offered by the operators, but he
would guarantee that the miners would
be unanimous against it. Mr.. Mcbride
said: "As a native-born citizen, | blush
to think that the business interests are
Euilded upon the starvation and degrad-
ing wages paid the laborers | represent.
We want you to give living wages and
increase the price of your coal, SO you
can get a fair profit There can be no
compromise along the lines Of starvation
wages. The miners make no threats,
but they stand together peaceably, earn.
estly and determined as ever, and will
go on so, finishing the present fight and
prepared for future fights.
f., L. Robbins Of Pennsylvania,
securd the floor and made strong ad-
dress for the operators.
Vice President Penna Of the Miners
Association, then took the floor aud
spoke in their behalf, making an able
argument to show that the operators
were in a position to pay living wages
now as at any time in the past.
Colonel Rend of Chicago, urged both
sides to make concessions, proposing a
compromise of so and 50 cents. His re-
marks were appauded by both miners
and operators.
Mr.. Chapman Of Pittsburg, spoke
next for the operators, and Patrick Nc
Bride and John Cairns for the miners.
President Mcbride of the Miners
Union, asked the operators and specta.
tors to retire from the hail in order that
the miners might hold conference
This was done, and conference lasting
one hour was held.
At its conclusion, President Mcbride
offered resolution reciting that whereas

Employed Here.


West Chester News, Thursday.
Samuel Martin, son of Ellwood Mar
tin, the storekceper at New London
village, has mystcriously disappeared,
and his relatives and friends are greatly
alarmed.
Young Martin seine time ago gradu-
ated in pharmacy, and on Friday, April
9th, started for Harrisburg TO appear
before the State Board of Examiners,
taking the train at Kelton Station, on
the Baltimore Central railroad. That
was the last seen or heard Of him by his
relatives. lie was to have returned home
the following Saturday evening, and
upon his failure to put in an appear
ance his parents immediate sent word
to the Board Of Examiners inquiring as
to his whereabouts.
They received reply stating that the
young man had not appeared before the
board on the day mentioned, neither had
the board heard anything of him.
When Martin left home he was
attired in new suit of clothing, hat
| $25 in cash in his pockets and was ii
the best of spirits.
lie was for time employed in drug
store in Wilmington during the pas
winter, and u search Of that city wa
made in the hope of hearing something
of HIM, but It was fruitless.
No cause whatever is assigned for hi
mysterious disappearance, and hi
friends fear some misfortune has be
fallen HIM. Some time ago his father
purchased the old Chandler property
in New London, and in connection witt
a general merchandise store, opened

A PROBLEM nv ri4Yo rou0n.


How Far Does tho lhulhluuhi -hhSNN N"S
Tone of This Instrnment|
Springfield Republican.
An animated and interesting discus
sion has been going on in musical circles
over the hcterOdoX theory recently an
uounccd by Il prominent Boston teacher
that touch has nothing To do with the
quality of tone on piano, us the
mechanicsm moves in precisely the
same manner for all, and that Ill the
fingers can do is to strike the key with
more or less force according to the loud
ness of the tone desired, while cantl0lie
or staccato effects are obtained by the
lifting of the finger and tone color by
the blending of CHORDS by the pedal.
This unorthodoX doctrine has, Of course,
met with vigorous opposition from those
who hold that the mechanism does not
altogether cut the case with the old in
strumcnts Of the spinet type, in which
the string was mechanically plucked by
quill.
As is so often the case, the truth seems
to lie about midway between these dis
putants. To show that tone quality IS
not dependant solely on the management
Of the management of the pedal 1T Is
only necessary to note the variety OF
effects really great pianist obtains with
out any use Of the pedal whatever. How
it is done is still mysterious, but even
though the strokes of the hammer may
be resolved into simple mathematical
formulate of velocity and force, even
these simple elements are capable OF
transmitting personality.
L. II nDf trun for that n1uttpr that all
quality is ultimately capable of express
SION il terms of quantityg What is the
difference between the full resonant ring
of a great yiolinist's strings aud the
wretched scrapings of country fiddler,
but a matter OF velocity, angle and
power in drawing the bow, all OF them
mathematical quantitiess The piano is
not a responsive instrument like the
violin or the voice, but even its cold and
clumsy mechanism is capable of trans
hitting something of the quality Of the
player. At the same time there can be no
question that the thing which lies at the
very foundation of the modern art OF
piano playing is the pedal. In the hands
Of master like Paderewski il Is even
more important than the keyboard. IL is
| this more than anything else which
makes the results of all mechanical sub.
stitutes for the piano for practicing So
unsatisfactory. No matter how true and
clear may be the stroke of the fingers
without the intimate cooperation Of the
pedal there is no soul. 1t has been sug.
gesteI that pianists may be divided into
two classes-vlrtuosi, or experts with
the fingers, and artists, or experts with
the pedal. This, however, involves O
new definition of virtuosity.
