MUSIC 0P LONG AGO.


Ancient N usEcai Instruments I'm the
Metropolitan Museum Of Art.
In the Metropolitan Museum Of Art IN
New York city, there is an interesting coll
lection Of musical Instruments OF all nations.
many of which belong to past centuries.
They lie silently IN the glass cases: the strings
OF mandolins and flutes that made sweet
music in days gone by are broken and
twisted, and the fingers that once swept
them have passed away, but still the air
seems trembling with melody. Imagination
pictures the banquet ball the summer nights
when the trnubador sang songs under his
lady-loye's window, or the Bedouin camp in
the desert where the flute and guitar were
played during the evening hour OF repose.
There are Instruments here OF all char
acters; rude viollns and banjos, fashioned by
savage hands, and dainty Tyres inlaid with
gold and mother-of-p pearl = Instruments
which lave played their part In ancient
ceremonies in PARKWAY India and China, in
the castles OF the Middle Ages, and in the
African wilderness.
1t is interesting to note that all nations, in
shaping musical Instruments, have tried to
make them beautiful TO please the eye as
well as to produce sweet sounds. The
stringed instruments and flutes of savage
races are often gr~otesque, and even ugly, to
civilized eyes, but the poor sayag did his
best. He carved his Instrument as well as
he could, and also often adorned it with
whatever precious trinkets he had in his
posSesSiOn.-S. Nicholas.

OHooTAW NINE TURMOIL.

WASHINGTON, July II, 1S94.-According
to a telegram received by the Secretary of
the Interior from Agent Wisdom of the
Choctaw Nation, the situation there among
the striking miners is critical. Since the
troops were withdrawn to Chicago, the
miners have again broken out.
There was a serious outbreak of miners at
Krebs. Armed with knives. clubs and pis-
tolls, they marched in procession six hum
dred strong, preceded by about fifty women.
Small bodies of working miners were driven
from the pits and assaulted. The strikers
also assaulted the bookkeeper of the Usage
Coal and Mining Co.
The mob menaced the miners but did not
attack the works atsAlderson. They scared
the men there SO that they quit work. Gov
ernor Jones has renewed bis original request
that the strikers be removed from the ma
tion. One company of cavalry has been
ordered from Lehigh to Krebs. There are
three companies still at Lehigh, the re-
mainder of the troops having been ordered
To Chicago.

WHICH Is THE KING9
The Lion fakes TO h Jungle when
Elephant Comes.

The Lilo Fakes to the Jungle when
the Elephant Comes.
In discussing the question. (which is the
king of the beastsF' an old African hunter
says
Come with me to a desert pool some clear,
moonlight night when the shadows are deep
and sharply cut and the moon herself in the
dry, cloudless air looks like a ball. All is
nearly as bright as day, only the light is
silver, not gold. Sit down on that rock and
watch the thirsty animals as they drink
buffalo. rhinoceros, antelope, quagga, oc-
casionally, if the water is large, lions, too;
But what has frightened the antelope and
quagga that they throw their heads up for a
second and fade away into the shadows? The
ether beasts, too, are listening, and now
leave the sides of the pond. Nothing but the
inevitable, irrepressible jackal that gamlns
among wild thlng remains in view.
"As yet your dull, human ears have caught
no sound, but very soon the heavy tread and
low, rumbling note of an oncoInipg herd OF
elephants reaches you. They are not at the
water. The jackals have sat down with
their tails straight out behind them, but not
another creature is to be seen. The king
drinks. Not a sound Is heard. He sauirts
the water over his bac1, makes the whole
pool muddy, inc retires solemnly, leaving
his subjects, who now gather round, to make
the best of what he has fouled.
This is the king In the opinion of beasts"

P%RENDERGAsT SURPRISED.

CHICAGO, July II, 1894.-Prendergast, the
slayer of Carter Harrison, received his first
information of Judge Bailey's decision at
seven o'clock last evening.
SIS that soga exclaimed the assassin, when
told that the writ of supersedeas had been
denied. Then he leaned against q small
desk in the lawyers cage for a moment and
n%ervously fingered a sheet of paper he car

"Well, it is a great surprise to me" con-
tinued Prendergast. II felt sure it would be

Morris said yesterday he would not begin
work on the scatfold until eight O'Clock

Terrible Experience of an American
Crew in the North Pacific.
WASHINGTON, July IL, 1S94-A horrible
story of enforced cannibalism is contained in
a supplemental report made to the Treasury
Department by Captain Healy of the Bear in
connection with the rescue of a portion Of
| the crew of the American schooner James
Allen from Umnak Island, on June Il.
The vessel left San Francisco on April IA
and was wrecked off Amelia Island, Alaska,
on May IL. There was no time to provision
, or water the boats, as the vessel sank within
twenty minutes after striking the reefs.
The crew of 40 left in five separate boats,
| and at daybreak the next morning but three
boats were in sight. These made for Amelia
Island, where they remained a few days.
and then started for Unalaska, q distance of
go miles. On the passage one boat was
swamped, and four men were drowned; an
other boat became SO leaky it had to be
abandoned. One man died on the way. All
the remaining men, twenty-SiX IN number,
were crowded into one boat.
This boat stopped at Umnak Island, where,
on the following day three Of the men died
from exposure After several futile at
tempts, Captain Huntley, with q crew Of six,
left TOR Unalaska. which they reached on
Juno IL. and the Bear. under Captain
! Healy, Immediately set out for Umnak
Island to rescue the remaining men. The
situation there, and the condition in which
he found the men is told by Captain Healy
as follows:
They were found in a terrible condition.
One man, Gideon, had died Tune Z and the
rest were in a starving condition. Mussels
were scarce and the birds wild, 80 the men
said. They had given up all hope of ever
being rescued and were completely democrat
lied. The body Of thessnan who died june
Z they had eaten entirely. They had even
dug up the boiy Of one of those who had
died two weeks previously and had partially
consumed it. The trunk lay outside the
| Barbara with arms ana legs cut oil and
portions of the meat were in the pot outside
the door.
"As has been said before they were com
pletely demoralized. No attempt had been
made to hunt or to attract attention from
seward. Not even a mark hal been set
upon the bluff behind them. When found
they lay around the fire in a hut doing moth
ing, looking at each other. with the blood of
| their shipmates on their and and faces and
bones strewn about them on the floor. Not
until the boats had landed and the door of
the house had been forced open did they
know that help was at hand"

BOTH NICE BUT CAN'T AGREE

Edward j. Hunt, a handsome young man,
well dressed, was arraigned before Recorder
before Recorder McDonough in Hoboken this
morning charged with non-support. He lives
at No. s Park avenue, and his pretty wife at
No. 1,20S Park avenue, Hoboken. They have
been married twelve years, having had the
knot tied when he was nineteen and she
seventeen. They had five children, two of
whom are living. Hunt is related TO Coun-
Gilman Harry Snyder. and is in good stand
ing in Hoboken society. His wife is well
known in social circles of the city. He was
arrested for non support three months ago
and promised to live with his wife, They dis
agreed too much and Hunt left her again.
He earns about thirty dollars a week at a
shirt factory. Mrs. Hunt was served yes
terday with a notice by the Hoboken Land
and Improvement Company. agents of the
fat she occupies. to vacate the rooms in
three days for non payment of rent. She
then caused her husbands arrest. He
promised today to support her and was
placed under bonds.

INCOME TAX COST.
Treasury Omcials Figuring Up the
Salnries of A sseSsOrs.


WASHINGTON, July II, 1894.-Treasury
officials assume that the income tax feature
of the Tariff bill will remain in any tariff
bill that becomes a law, and they are now
preparing the estimates of cost to be sub
mitted to Congress. A separate appropria-
ton will have TO be made for this
or else the item must be put
into one of the legislative bills
a number of additional employees will be
needed by collectors of internal revenue, es
pecially in the Middle and Eastern States. 1t
is believed the present force allowed collect
ors of internal revenue in the Southern and
Western States will be sufficient to collect
the tax in these sections.
1t is generally admitted that it will require
a higher order of men to act in the capacity
OF income tax collectors than is required for
gangers, etc, as their duties will be of a
more delicate nature, bringing into play an
inauisiuive turn of mind and n~ecessitating at
times legal knowledge. To secure such men
higher salary will doubtless have to be paid
than is usual with ordinary internal revenue
employees.
No sum, even approximately, has yet been
agreed upon. but Secretary Carlisle will lose
as little time as possible in forwarding his
estimates.

NEWARK, July II. lS94:-A party of New.
ark's officials visited the beautiful valley OF
the P~equannock, Monday, to inspect the
source of the city's new water supply.
At an observation taken by the engineers
of the Board of Works Monday. the Ventura
meter at Macopin showed that 4,492, 700 gal
Ions of water had passed through the pipe
between six o'clock in the morning and at
noon. This would be at an average rate OF
l 1870, 800 gallons daily output.
Fromsth Macopin the party drove to Oak
Ridge, where the water was found to be
within one-tenth of a foot of the average
height. This reservoir has q capacity Of
$500, 900, 900 gallons, and covers an area of
about 400 acres. 1t takes six months to FIJI
it, unless there should be heavy freshets dur
ing that period. Its greatest depth is forty
five feet.
body of water which at present is feeding
into Macopin Its daily yield is 24,oo0,0 0C
gallons.
At Clinton reservoir the same satisfaction
was EXPRESSED as at the previously visited
reservoirs.
The capacity Of this immense boly is

157 feet higher than Oak Ridge has not pre-
vented some from urging the draining of
Oak Ridge into Clinton reservoir. The i'm
possibili y of this is apparent to anyone con-
versant with the situation.
There is a 50-foot dam at Clinton. 1900
feet long with a spillway about 200 feet
wide.
After the Clinton reservoir had been in
spected, Hanks Pond, which is controlled by
the East Jersey Water Company, was visited.
This pond runs into Clinton.
Then there arose q discussion between the
city's representative, City Counsel Riker,
and Engineer Herschel, as to the righto of the
city to have its own man make tests at the
Macopin meter. 4
The idea OF the city making this sugges-
ton was to determine whether the guaran-
teed daily capacity of 5o,ooo,0oo gallons
could be verified.
The suggestion was not met by Mr.. Her
schel in a conciliatory manner. He dsni ed
the right of the city to control the works,
and cl;.imed that until the city came into
full and absolute possession of the water
shed, the East Jersey Water Company was
in control.
Mr.. Herschel was willing that the city
should make its own tests, but should do SO
under the supervision of one OF the repre-
~sentatiyes of the East Jersey Water Com
pany.
