Five Musicians.

Ole Bulls compositions all betray his
Norwegian origin. They have peculiar
chara ctrristicS which remind the hearer
OF the grand scenery of the Norway coast.
His fate was determined by accidentally
hearing PagaDini. He at CnCe began the
study of the violin with great easerncss.
wagner's steE-fathcr was named Gcyer
and Until almost grown Wagner himself
went by that name. Geyer wanted to
make a painter Of young Richard. but the
latter could never learn to draw. His
gift for music WAS first suspected from
his learning to play bits from the Frei-
schultz.
Thalberg was intended by his father
for a diplomatist. His future life was
determined by his filling the place of n
player who was unable TO take his part
in an amateur concert. His fingers were
wonderfully formed fer piano playing.
There were little cushions at the tips Of
his fingers, which gave him wonderfully
delicate touch.
Wallace was brought up in the midst
OF musical people, often, before he was
grown, leading the band of tie Theater
Royal in Dcblin. He enigrated TO Aus
tra!ia as oGlebist and tcok mp his abode
in the bush. During visit TO Sydney his
musical talents were discovered, and he
was induced to give a concert, which was
very successful.

Three Snap Shots.

The law has profited frequently by these
snapshots. Divorce suits have prospered
ard the rouCues' gallery has been a most eff
fectiye check ON ambitious criminals. A
pretty example of Photographic neatness
and dispatch was the recent controversy
between Defender and Valkyrie. As every
one remembers, The former yacht was Grip
Piled by the latter and claimed a foul Val
and was compelled to collide either with
Defender OF the judges boat, was most itl-
disput able refuted by a picture taken by
the well-known English photographer,
West, at the very moment of collision.
The ease with which photographs can be
reduced is of greatest value. During the
siege Of Paris. for insta nee. copies of long
letters and whole newspapers were photo
graphed down so small that they could be
sent by carrier-pigeons. To reduce a group
Of phot ographs OF 500 eminent men to lie
size of pins head is no great trick. Every
one has seen, too. those neat portraits in
which pictures OF any size are reproduced
as postage stamps.
The instantaneousness OF photography
has been OF wonderful value. Mr.. Fad
weard Muybridge's photographs Of animal
locomotion, for instance. have not only
worked a radical change in the methods
of representing moving animals in Illus
tration, but have actually made us sec them
differently. His photographs of bird-fight
have not only raised the scraggy wings
OF japanese art in our estimation. but have
affected scientific theories of wing pro-
pulsiOn.

OUT WITH 1T.

One phase of the scheme to add dozen
millions to the debt OF the District which
has not been as cunspicuously mentioned
as it would seem to demand is the extreme
exclusiveness OF the projectors. They
don't tell the whole story.
What mind conceived it?
In what office, or club, or back room. or
boudoir was the grand purpose first dis
cussed?
What wines were drunk, what brand of
cigars smoked, and what real estate maps
of what subdivisions" We're used for mag
terpicces of mural decoration?
What streets and avenues were thought
TO be most worthy of " extension" by this
progressive and beneficent, but all too
modest and Anonymous, aggregation sit

should be permitted tu see the whole per-
formance. VIII not the too exclusive pro-
Jectors kindly take the people into COM

altogether. Once a small minority of Con-
gress voted against q retroactive increase
of salary, and then was overwhelmed by
the majority. and took its medicine like
the other. Congressman have been known
to protest against exorbitant mileage and
payment for private stationery out OF tho
public purse. and then to use mileage and
stationery without grievance Just as
calmly as Congressional corpses accept
public funerals, against which they had
protested when in a condition OF states
manship.
In fact, when one is led by the frankness
of Mr.. Tom johnson and Mr.. Sam Bruck.
heimer to contemplate all the curious priv
ileges which Congress has voted to itself
one wonders if there is anything that has
been forgotten that might have been voted,
but has not been. The crime of franking
is almost lost in the mighty shuttle. Mr..
Johnson's offense becomes respectable,
and one can find heart to denounce him only
for the unmitigated cruelty of inflicting
his speeches upon a mass of people who
never did him an injury.

HOLMES, HYPNorIsM.

One OF the most astonishing scenes ever
enacted in criminal court was that in
Philadelphia yesterday when argument
was made upon a motion for a Ecw trial
in behalf of the murderer Holmes.
In the twinkiing of an eye, and in a nest
dramatic manner, the district attorney
showed that Mr.. Shoemaker, one of the
lawyers for the defense, had procured
false affitavit TO prove that B. F. Pite-
eel. for whose murder Holmes was con-
victed, had told certain person that he
intended to commit suicide. The lawyer
was only able 10 make n stumbling state
ment, which was In its very manner u cen
fessiOn, and lie was held by the court for
subOrnation of perjury.
This performance Is probably. without a
parallel, and one wonders il the astounding
murderer could have exercised upon poor
Shoemaker those hypnotic powers which
ne was said TO possess by some of the women
who Were his victims. The perjury was
so plain uron the face of the affidavit; the
means taken to procure IL So oren and so
certain of discovery, that hypnotism or
insanity seem TO be the only possible ex-
plantations.
II will be interesting 10 hear the expla-
nation of Lawyer Shoemaker, but what
ever he may have 10 say the occurrence

the court as one of the most extraordinary

There is a note worthy preponderance

COAST DEFENsEs, ETC.

If Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who has recently
become the chief officer of the United
States army, fails to add hundred millions
or So to the public debt for increase of
the army and for coast defenses, etc. etc,
it Will not be for lack of energy. The mo
nient the additional luster of promotion
was added to his epaulettes he began
talking war, or preparation for it.
Gen. Miles was last evening banqucted
at the Union League Club of Philadel-
phia. 1t is in the swell clubs, il may he
said, that most of the little schemes for
the expenditure OF the peoples money
are arranged. Between sherry and cham
pagne the fighting general told his audi
tors how America is absolutely at the
mercy of any foreign power who desires
to indulge In the amusement of making
war against it on account of Il want of
coast defenses.
Does it not strike the brilliant general
at times when he is not banqUeting that
i'll condition OF real civilization war
would be impossible; that reason would be
more powerful than coast defenscs, and
that men trapped out with brass buttons
and taw,iry tinsel of rank would be looked
upon as the most useless of all earth,s
creatures?
Eyeu in a civilization which in some coun-
tries yet demands machinery for offense
aud defense there is no necessity that Amer
lea should be embroiled The exercise OF or
diuary common sense will serve to keep the
country out of even the semblancc Of a
prospect Of International war.
1t is the war party in each of the coun-
tries OF the old world which does more than
all else to induce the ma sintenance OF stand
ing armies and the construction of great
navies. Gen Miles evidently wishes TO head
a war party in America, but he will find
that the sentiment of the people is not with
him. Ouly generals want armies Only job
bers and contractors want great coast de-
fenses The mass well understand that
Americas best defense is TO mind its own
business and produce for the world the
things of peace and enlightened progress,
and possibly war machinery for those bar
barous nations which still find sport in
war, as merema tier of industry and profit

self into cold type in The Times of this
morning to defend Hon. Tom johnson. ex-
member of Congress from Ohio, against
the charge of allowing an improper use of
his rubber franking stamps by book
seller, who sold and sent free through the
mails public documents which were only
intended for gratuituus distribution by
Congressman.
Mr.. Jchnsup admitted the employment of
one rubber stamp. Mr.. Samuel Bruck-
heimcr, who confesses the honor of having
been for three years private secretary to
Mr.. johnson, says there were six rubber
stamps, and that he used them TO send
out the millions of copies of a speech which
Mr.. johnson had printed at public expense.
Thus the seventy millions of people of the
United States, who are spellbuund by Mr..
Johnson's eloQuence, learn at one swoop
the uses Of Mr.. johnson, of rubber stamps
and Of private sacrifices in this great
scheme which is called government.
