The New York World never waits to
be driven along the path of progress by
sharp competition, but keeps so far in
the lead that competition is an impossi-
bility. The reputation of The Weekly
World as the greatest Democratic paper
published is fully established. 1t is DEM
ocratic in principle, Democratic in policy,
Democratic in its sympathies. 1t is not
blindly or dishonesty partisan. 1t will
not support bad men or bad measures.
ITS WORK is FOR THE PEOPLE,
THE WHOLE PEOPLE, and not for
any class or faction. 1t will be found at
all times fighting for the great cardinal
principles of the Democratic party but
never for the selfish ends of any ring or
individual. Its miscellaneous articles are
fresh, we'll selected and interesting. Its

BASS DRUM WITH A HISTORY.
FOR MORE THAN PALF A CENTURY
IT HAS TAKEN RART IN
CELEBRATIONS.

a bass drum with history is on ex-
hibition in Third avenue store in Har-
lem, says the. New York Sun. 1t is the
first instrument of the kind used in a
band in this country. 1t first appeared
in Dodworth's famous military band at a
time when the long narrow brass drum
was the only one known. This drum
is three feet in diameter and two feet
thick.
1t was beaten more than fifty years
ago. Behind it played Theodore Thomas,
Cappa, w. S. Reeves, now the conduct.
or of Gilmore's band; Chas. Rehen, the
bandmaster at West Point; Carl Bergman
ID. L.. Downing, Signor Liberati, George
Weigand, and many others. 1t was pres
ent at the Inauguration of nine Presidents
of the United States, Van Buren, Harri-
son, Polk, Taylor, Buchanan, Lincoln
Grant, Garfield and Cleveland; was beat.
en- in the firemen's riots in PHILADELPHIA,
long before the war; was in Ford's the
ater, Washington. when President Lin
coin was assassinated, and it was played
at the Yorktown centennial celebration.
1t served in the regimentaf bands of the
Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Twelfth, Thir-
teenth, Twenty-second, Fifty-fifth and
SeVnty-first regiments and the Old Guaru.
1t figured in parades of the police and
Volunteer fire departments, and in the
Central Park concerts for twenty four
years.
The drum is a veteran of the battle of
Bull Run. 1t was heard at the recep.
ton to hossuth and at those given to the
japanese embassy, to the Prince of
Wales, and to the Grand Duke Alexis.
1t crossed the Niagara suspension bridge
before the directors did. Bill Poole's
frlends.samong the volunteer fireman
hired it to make his,funeral more impress
slve. 1t assisted at the serenades to
Jenny Lind, Adelina Patti, Webster.
Lincoln, Seward, Grant, and manv
other celebrities, and has been a feature
IN gala celebration of some sort in near.
ly every prominent city of the Union.
1t is very much the worse for wear.
The frame is sunken and the decorations
are almost obiterated. One of the heads
is blank. On the other are the words.
"Dodworth, New York." in gIarng
black letters. On the frame work, in
scrolls are the words "Dodworth Cornet

arms, and representations of members
OF the band in red trousers, white coats
and bearskin hats.
AT present the big drum is used to SUP.

an Austin, Tex, newspaper office, and
drawing out concealed document, said
to the editor:

too proud to let the public know it,"
''You don't say sol" said the editor
with animation.
II am hopeful of securing quite hand

You say this unfortunate man is very

That's just the kind of man he is. y
"And too proud to beg?"
The minister nodded.

It's all right. Just as soon as you get

he gently pushed the visitor, who expect.

70 Catch Hawks.

Geehoseefax Ivey, Ga. | see in this
week S Constitution an inquiry from ". IL.
S., of Dixie, La, relative to the best method
of getting rid of chicken hawks. l have
known the following method to prove enec-
tual i'm many instances. First build a trap
of stout pieces of board, say three feet long
by two feet broad at the bottom gradually
drawing i'm the sides til ii is of sufficient
height TO admit of the hawk standing under
it: then cover with plank just the size OF
the top of the trap, and then build small
trap on top of that, being careful that the
strips are thick enough that Mr.. Hawk
can't thurst his foot through the cracks,
binding down the whole trap with stout
stick. passing over the top fastened to the
bottom of the trap With stout cords. In the
ton or small trap place two or three small
chicks. and on the triger 2 dead one or
even dead bird. and set the trap in the
crcbard The little chickens will begin to
"cheep' as soon as they are left alone
which will cause the hawk to hunt for
them. but they will hush when they see
the hawk and of course, he viii think
that the dead one was the one making the
noise and go under the trap to eaten IL,
and then will the catcher be caught
