MASTERS OF THE VIOLIN.
Capt. Cotton and Mr.. NOVEL; Meet
After Many Years.

There are two really fiTst-class violinis s
now IN the city who possibly are entirely
unknown to local fame. They met on Sat
urday on the Philadelphia, and spent some
hours together chatting on music and
about old times when they studied together
under the same master in Germany. In
the evening they scraped catgut together,
and vowed that they had not had such
jolly time since last they met.
The one is Capt. Cotton, Of the Philadel-
phia. who fom his youth has been an en-
thusiastic student Of the violin, and is an.
amateur of note in the European sense,
and an amateur also IN the American APP
plicatiJh OF the term. The other is Willis
L. Novel; superintendent Of the Berner's
Bay Mining Company, who is not only
professional Vi0linist, but a professor of
the art of handling the bow.
Mr. NOVEL; came down on the Topeka
on Thursday. and leaves again today fer
the Alaska mine of which he is the SUI
perintendent. He finished his studies on
the violin under the famous Joachim, and
was afterward assistant to Prof. EichbUrg
at the New England Conservatory. Bos-
ton. Then he became chief solOist of the
Thomas orchestra, and went back TO Eu-
rope for q time. While there, he accepted
the professorship Of the New England
Conservatory, and was holding that posi-
ton when his father. who is a large owner
of Berner's Bay stock. induced him to visit
the mines. This was fifteen months ago.
1t was a pleasure to him 10 meet Capt.
Cotton, and it was not very long after the
handshaking before the captain was IN
vited to come over to the Butler and en-
10y a little music. Mr.. NOVEL; carries two
celebrated Cremona violins with him, the
Elijah and the Nero. and each of the old
friends taking one of these famous old
instruments, they fiddled away, entirely
absorbed in their musical enthusiasm UNI
til midnight on Saturday.
Mr. NOVEL; enjoys gold mining, and
might really be classed as an expert pros
pector. but he enjoys fiddling more and
even digging for gold under the immense
advantages he possesses, will not induce
him to give up his art. He intends to go
back to il soon. which goes TO show that
there really are men to whom wealth is

"There," said the detective laying his
hand on the clergYman's arm, you
touch exactly the point where the mys-
Niery becomes as dark as the tomb.
Here are the facts. 1t was Mr.. Ames
who watched beside the coffin. We in
sisted upon it, and sent his son Frank
to bed after the latter had volunteered
for that duty. Frank was worn out
with his journey and at last consented
to his fathers arrangement"

mitted it,
NO; while he was asleep-drugged

"Drugged? Are You sure of that"
What he says makes it practically
certain. He remembers the first hour
alone beside the coffin. Then he knows
nothing until he found himself sitting
there with the light of early morning
streaming into the room. He was
ashamed to own that he had slept, and
SO he said nothing about it until ques-
toned him. Then he described his eX-
perience, and his sensations as awaken
ing in such a way as to make me per-
fectly confident that he was drugged;
and the thing that makes his story
certainly true is that he described the
effect of a drug about which I'm sure
that he knows nothing at all. It's a
mixture of choral and one or two other
poisons of that class"
How was it administered?
Easily enough. There's a pitcher of
water and "A glass on the table in the

are careful though successful business
men, and the prospects of the company
are exceedingly bright. 1t will make a
