GONE TO HIS REWARD.
Or erhaps to His Punishment-Hand
Organ Inventor Dead.

Harry F. Taylor, who killed himself
at New York the other day, is undoubt-
eddy responsible for more noise than any
other person who ever lived. His pro-
fession was noise. He Wallowed in it,
and it is said that the hideous sounds
he caused to be awaked finally drove
him to his death. His chief distinction
was for volumes of noise. All the can
non fired in the Franco-Prussian war,
if concentrated in one vast sound, would
be breathing zephyr compared to the
Internal racket that Henry +. Taylor
has hurled against the universal tympa-
mum. Even the pig-tailed Chinese. with
all his firecrackers, has no such sin to
answer for, and the author of Com
rades" is public benefactor IN COMPARE
son. So horrible was the din raised by
Taylor that he is suspected of having
become haunted by dreadful sounds,
and in fit of remorse at the ears he
has cracked has jumped from a fifth
story window. Taylor made the first
hand-organ, and so hideous was the
nightmare of discord that he made 100,-
600 more and cast them loose on a de-
fenseless country. The saddest thing
to contemplate in his taking-off is that
hand-organs are immortal.

Loud talking in public places, such as
restaurants and public conveyances, is
more of European than an American
custom, but occasionally you meet
Americans or persons born in this coun-
try of foreign parents who have that
European habit strongly developed.
Sometimes this habit occasions embar-
rassment to those who indulge in 1t.

WRESTLING WOMEN.
San Francisco Has "A Score or More OF
Fair Sinieuses.


The young women of San Francisco
have thrown aside their mandolins,
have hung up their tennis racquets.
have ceased to wave their hands in Del
sartean style, have given up singing
"A-a-ah" in all keys, and have thrown
themselves, heart and soul and lungs,
into whistling. No less than twenty Of
the city's daughters have formed a class
to master the gentle art and are work
ing with sublime defiance of the old
tradition concerning whistling women.
Their teacher is Miss Gertrude Judd,
who took course of training under the
world-renowned sifneuse, Mrs. Shaw.
When a young woman applies to Miss
Judd for admission to her classes she
has to undergo examination and criti-
cism scarcely less severe than that which
Nine. Marchesi's pupils experience. The
Would-be whistler has her musical ear
and register tested and has to satisfy
Miss Judd of her ability before she is
received. Clever whistlers," says Miss
Judd, must be born, not made. They
must have cast-iron lungs, sound
health, favorable mouth cavity forma-
tlon-SoundS grueSOme, doesn't it?-and
perseverance. The strain on the orbic-
ular muscle alone Is considerable. And
they must even have good teeth. You
can see in my face already the whistle
lines. They run in the form Of an invert-
ed from the nose to the chin. Mrs.
Shaw has them. The points have men,
toned, with a lack of nervous affec-
lions, a good ear, and the ability to
strike the notes you want on the plano
are all that are wanted, except, of
course, application-it is an art that
must be taken seriously. Whistling re-
sembles singing a good deal Indirectly
the vocal chords make the sound, but
there is a different position Of the mouth
that modiies it. A whistle has timbre.
quality and soprano and mezzo range,
but the whistle Of the two sexes is so
much alike that it is impossible to de-
tect the fine grades of difference be-
tween them"

0BSTINACY.
May Yet Lead to Forced Relinqulsh'

SPANISH TROOPS ARE DYING OFF
Campos Has Shown More Stu
pidity Than Energy.

LONDON, Aug. 23.--The Havana corrc-
spondent Of The Times, writing OF the sit
uation there, urges the necessity OF large
concessions in the direction of autonomy,
or else even loyal Cubans will drift into
disloyalty. "The only alternative is
costly campaign In men and money" tho
correspondent adds, followed by the occu-
patton Of tho island by $4,000 men for
decade"
81 am unable authenticity TO discover
the source Of the rebels funds. Very
little Is obtained in Cuba. / am assured
from revolutionary sources that the Cuban
colonies at Key West subscribe $1,000 to
$4,000 weekly TO the revolutionary COM
mittee in Now York, but doubt whether
1t is paid with regularity"
In an editorial on the foregoing The
Times also says: The failure Of Campos
to suppress the rebellion has caused bitter
disappointment at Madrid. We sympa-
thize heartily with SPANS patriotic deter
mination 10 hold Cuba at any sacrifice,
and we admire her energy, however mis-
directed, In resisting projects for further
disintegration and plots concocted In FOR
eign countries to foment rebellion among
her subjects.
At the same time II Is suicidal folly for
any nation to obstinately refuse TO look
facts in the face. Englishmen have no de-
| sire to see Cuba separated from Spain.

| and independent American OF all parties
and for obvious political reasons annexa-
| tion to America would be regarded with

able 20 arrive at a practical settlement
with her rebcllious subjects, but that de
mands a quality of craftsmanship fai
higher than has yet been displayed, ant
IL General Campos Is 10 gain victory h'
must show greater energy and ingenuity
than hitherto. General Campos onl,
opened his eyes after the fight at Bayamo
on July l2 TO the fact Aat the insurgent

Without the havoc which yellow feve
and dysentery have played and will play
with the troops arriving at this sickly sea
son, the constant and aimless marching
and couutermarching of the last thrc
months itself have suiiiced to invalid mel
by wholesale, without help from epldemi
disease.
A remarkable Characteristic In th
spread Of the rebellion is the higher STRAIT
of society now joining the insurgen
ranks. General Campos has tried TO trea
with the rebels and has failed; he ha
tried 20 suppress them and has failed; h
has tried TO patch up n reconciliation an
has equally failed. The rebels have bee
quick TO profit by his mistakes.
