PIANOEoRIE PLAYING.
The Sweeping Elastic Touch-How and
 When to Correct Mistakes.

" nfn 10 tnfreCt ht>t3lkeS.
 There are two extreme types of hand possessed by those who aspire to play the piano-first, hands stubborn, close wCbbcd, chubby; second, hands loose jointcd, dangling, flaccid. It is not al- ways an advantage to havo tho hands exceedingly loose Between these two extremes there are q hundred intCrmedi- ate grades. A writer in The Etudc says:
 What VIC learn to do ill playing the piano is ro produce attitudes, measure mcnts and motions, and in tho highly complex automatic power which WIG de- vclop it is imperative to offset contrast ed exercises against each other. Thus think it usually advisable to learn the sweeping elastic touch at the same time as the quiet hammer touch.
 In reply to the query, ''ls it best to correct immediately when Il mistake is madc?" the same authority replies: That depends upon tho importance of tho mistake. If it comes from careless ness. by all means stop, and if necessary 10 times or 100 times, and do not allow the pupil tn go ono notch beyond that tone till it can bo dono correctly. for nearly all the mistakes that even great
  tcntiOn to that particular point. have known many a pianist who hlUndurCd at easy places, but played the difficult passages with faultless precision, sim ply because the mental illumination which produced the musical photograph had not been equally distributed. Fight the mistake as the butter maker f. G-s:ts whey-drain it, squeeze it, draw il cut in every way and give us n purH Eui.cn color. Now, on tho other hand, il may chance that your pupil is constitutional ly nervous and cXcitablc; that the nerves gre not strong enough to carry the shock of electricity which the mind sends out. and consequently the hands tremblc, and the fingers fly into the neiShborhood of the keys, but arc nearly always a little awry.
 In that cs,so you will generally az. gravate the trouble by causing the pu- | piI to be too self critical. If there is q | disposition to be ovCrConsCiouS and over sensitive. compel your pupil to rush or in n regular wild English. or. still bet ter, wild Irish. stceplcchaSc.

TRoLLEY's MAIDEN TRIP.
Two Successful Runs to Naugatuck When
 the World Was Asleep.

Two Successful Runs to Naugatuck When
 the World Was Asleep.
 An electric appetizer. that is what Su- perintendent Bradley provided for a coterie of Waterburians this morning. It was decided yesterday, after the short prelim- mary trips of the trolley cars at the West End, that everything was in readiness for a dashto Naugatuck. Consequently about 10:45 last night one of the cars. fully equipped, and filled with the directors and their friends. left the stable and dashed toward the center. Here a great crowd had congregated to witness the maiden effort of the electric system. W. G. Da- vidson, who superintended the putting in of the motors, handled the lever. The run down was uneventful further than that the road bed was found much smoother than was anticipated. It took thirty-six minutes for the run. The return trip was made much slower, the party reaching the center at midnight.
 This morning at 5 o'clock another run was made to Naugatuck. Those favored were the directors and their families and members of the press. The changing of the gong sounded through the still morning | air and soon could be seen heads popping through windows. the rest of the bodies | concealed behind curtains. Farmers on their way to market, milk peddlers and others Wno were oriVlng stood in Wonuer- | ment as the car flew by or else held tightly | to their animals. There was but little oc- clsion for fear, however, as the horses passed seemed to take good naturedly to their new visitor. In seven minutes after leaving the center the car flew by Jacques althea works and in ten minutes Smith & Griggs' factory was passed. In 12i minutes the car glided around the curve at the Platt's mill road, past the mill in fifteen minutes and through the rocky bed, enclosed with woodland scenery, to the main road. Across the bridge al Union City and to the terminus in Nauga. tuck was short ran and all the watches recorded twenty-six minutes. This was considered remarkable from. the fact that | several stops were made to show the work | ing of the lever and brake.
 delay of ten minutes was occasioned before the return trip because of a hot box. At nineteen minutes before six tn, return trip was begun. This trip was slow as frequent stops were made to explain th' method of slowing up. the backing and thu sudden stop by throwing the trolley of Everything worked as clear as whistle and in thirty -four minutes the sight seer were landed in the center. All were en thusiastic over the system and none nor so than Superintendent Bradley, who wa present on both trips. No cars will b run for the public until Saturday, whel the South Main street line will be in oper ation.

 Speech on the Conference Report.
 WAsHISGTON, July 24.-The senate dis cussion on the tariff conference report was resumed to-day, when Senator Hill m. de another vigorous speech, SUI p orting Presi- dent Cleveland and the cause of tariff re- form.
