Da CANA at Monteyidio.

RIO DE JANEIRO March 2i-Peixoto
is mobilizing the National Guards and is
sending additional troops to meet General
Saraiva, the insurgent commander. Adj
miral De Mello declares that PeiXoto in
tends to resign the presidency into the
hands Of Senor Prudente Moraes before
the expiration of his term in November
next.
The Portuguese war ships, having Admir- al
Da Cana and the other Brazilian insurgent
refugees on board, arrived at Montevideo
to-day. The authorities refused to allow
the war ships 10 enter the quarantine sta
ton. 1t is thought probable that the
Portuguese ships will now proceed to
BuenOS Ayres.
The report that President Peixoto has re-
vived the imperial DEGREES of 1888 and 1851
has reached Pernambuco, and is causing
great excitement. Some of the inhabitants
of that State believe that the DEGREES might
be stretched so to cover many prom
inent people there as we'll as giving the
government power TO execute, Without a
trial, some of the foreign residents who
may be suspected of having been in SYM
pathy with the insurgents. Many people
here have. all along, been in sympathy with
De Mello, although they have never had
confidence in Da Cana.

Where Discipline Is Needed.

So common is 1t on Western roads, more
especial,y on accommodation trains, for
the rear brakeman 10 monopolize the rear
seat of a coach with articles he may be
called upon to use on his trip that the fol-
lowing, clipped from the Railroad Gazette,
will be appreciated. The Gazette says:
"a correspondent inquiries if it is right for
the brakeman OF a passenger train to I'LL
one seat in the rear car with his lanterns,
flags torpedoes and fuses and such other
traps as he may happen to have-say nat,
overcoat and train box. OF course lt Is not
right (and we are reminded, Dy the way,
that Boyd's patent case for holding nagS,
torpedoes and fuses is furnished with
brackets to fasten to the side of the car in
a neat fashion, and brakemen who are
fully alive to their duty Of doing every
thing they can to make each passenger
tourney pleasant are careful not 10 clutter

stop the petty nuisance Is not easy 10 de.
all the dull brakemen and keep all the
bright-minded ones he could very soon
make and enforce a simple rule. Superin-
tendents are annoyed in this matter per-
haps as often as any one for when they
travel on a local train quite likely they
wish to ride at the rear window; bue any
rule is hard to enforce when the rear car
Is only half full. The chief need for good
discipline in this matter arises from the
gers on a train who like to sit at the end
window If they can. but who often are too
modest to ask the brakeman to move his
luggage. thinking he has a right to the
seat OF course the road desires to accom-
modate such passengers. we should not
see observation cars advertised on the best
trains, and so the only proper rule is for
the brakeman to leave all seats clear.

Forged Naturalization Papers.


Walsh to-day issued warrants for the ar
rest of VincenZo de Vito, an Italian banker
OF New York city, and VelaSco Ferrini,
his clerk, on charges of subornation of
attorneys office that De Vito sold natural
ization papers to Italians just landed at
from $40 TO S15 apiece. The papers are
forged and have been used by Italians to
secure employment on city department
works.
In connection with these arrests the
World this evening devotes an entire page
to the developments in the case. The arti-
Gle alleges that De Vito Is at the head of
an organized system of buying and sell
ing citizenship papers obtained by fraud,
selling them TO aliens not lawfully entitled
20 be naturaliZed, and who, having become
parties TO the fraud, are controlled and
driven TO the polls like sheep on election
day. The article further states that when
these aliens return to their own country
the bogus papers are bought back at a big
discount and sold again to new arrivals.
This nefarious business is said TO be car
ried on so boldly and with so little attempt
at concealment that there is every reason
to believe that they enjoy the confidence
or and have been promised protection by
the political leaders, TO whom they throw
the votes thus illegitimately made.
The World in its expose says there is q
we'll organized body of men "Who not only
procure naturalization papers by fraud for
money for residents of their city, but also
operate in Kings county, and perhaps In
other counties throughout the State who
use dummies to represent the men who de-
sire to secure these papers; who do not hes
itate to procure the commission of perjury
es; who swear falsely to the identity of
the dummy applicants for papers: who run
their naturalization bureaus as adjuncts to
their business as padroneS, and who, by
the hold obtained through the fear of the
holders of the papers, bleed thir patrons
in many and nefarious ways.

increase over the week ending March IL of

The Peoria & Eastern lines handled last

wholly in east-bound business, as west
bound tonnage was heavier last than in the

The loaded car movement of the Indian

LONDON, March A.-Two of the plays

Much disappointment has been caused by

women of literary and dramatic celebrity
in London.

A PICKLE That Was Not Eaten.

A Lazy King.

George " was a mere puppet OF a
king. His servants came in to open his
window curtains at 6 or 7 in the morn
ing. He breakfasted in bed, read the
morning newspapers through, transact

and then took a long doze of three or
four hours. At 6 in the afternoon he
rose. dressed for dinner and returned to
bed again between 10 and IL.
Being unable to sleep much, he found
pleasure in ringing for the servants,
ringing his bell forty times a night. II
he wished to know the hour, instead OF

wycIife's Bible.

The first complete translation Of the
Bible into the English tongue was eff
fected by 1Qhn Wycliffe about 1880. Ihls
was the LoIlards' Bible, and a large
number of manuscript copies must have
been written and circulated, for 40
copies are still in existence. There were
also many transcripts of certain books,
as we'll as Of the whole Bible. Wyclife
could not go to the original texts, so he
translated from the Vulgate, or &C
cepted Latin version. 1t was not a per
feet performance; but the reformer was
prevented by death from revising it, as
he doubtless intended to do.
The revision, therefore, was under,
taken by John Purvey, and completed
in 1888. 1t is curious that the whole o.
| Wyclife's Bible was not printed as one
| book until 1850, when it was pu0llshee

ONE VI THE FIRST PIANOS MADE.
Interesting History of an Old Musical In
strument That Has Travelled.

AALSLoEy VI AN OIu 1Aus1CSI An~
strument That Has Travelled.
In a music store on Third street, be-
tween Marion and Columbia, there is an
old piano which attracts much attention.
The old musical instrument is Of the
upright style and is in a fair state of
preservation, though it is nearly one hun
dred years old. 1t has a keyboard with
white keys for the regular notes, and
black keys for the sharps and fats, just
like the pianos Of today. These, when
deity touched, cause the ancient instru-
ment to discourse most e~loquently.
No N could tell its great age by hear
ing it played on. It's tones are still har-
monious and tuneful, though, Of course,
it cannot be compared with the best
pianos of today, when volume or modula-
ton of tone is considered. Its front is
ornamented with wooden scrollwork,
behind which is a crimson cloth of fine
texture. The frame on which the strings
are stretched is of wood, while the frame
of the modern piano is Of iron. The
double row Of keys is followed to this
day, and the interior construction Is
much the same as in vogue at present.
The fact that the ancient instrument
is in such n good state of preservation is
a high tribute to the old time piano
makers. They built their instruments tx
last. This is said not to be the case with
many of the present piano manufacturers
The superannuated instrument has al
interesting history. The Nineteenth
Century had counted off but three year
when it was bought by an English gen
tleman for his family of the makers, j
& J. H~opkinson, of Regent street, Lon
don. 1t was made in the year 1902 am
sold in 1903. 1t passed as an heirloom
from one member of the family to an
other until it came into the possession Q
a branch that left London for Americ
in the year 1864. The voyage was mad
in the celebrated ship Robert Lowe
During the voyage a heavy gale was Ell

E The family that brought the instr

i c., and they passed away one by OF
- until only two sisters were left. Final
; one of these died and the other BEGAN
/ insane with grief. Then it became ne
essarv to administer on the estate OF Il
sisters, and the piano was sold by ord
IL Of the probate court. The instrume'
then fell into the hands of a gentlems
