DE CASERTA'S REQUEST.
Late King of Naples Left His Brother
His ShadOwy Title.

Late King of Naples Left His Brother
His Shadowy Title.
The ex-King of Naples has left all
the claims to private fortunes in Italy
which he could dispose of by will to
Count de Caserta, his brother, and heir
to his shadowy title and throne. The
Paris correspondent Of the London
Daily News writes: ''The dowager ex-
Queen, however, is to have life inter-
est in this fortune, which includes the
Farnese palace, now rented to the
French Government for an embassy.
The sum of G35, 200 is left to the poor of
Naples and Palermo, and sum Of ESQ
to the poor of the parish Of the Madeline,
in Paris, in which the eX-King and
Queen lived since 1873. The Archduke
Rainer, brother-in-law, and a cousin Of
the late Queen Maria Theresa, is execu-
tor to the will. There are souvenir be-
quests to members of the different
branches of the Bourbon family. The
Ncapolitan exiles here say that the
Count de Caserta will soon issue an adj
dress to the people Of Naples to remind
them of his rights and to protest
against the usurpation Of the house of
Savoy
''The Count and Countess de Caserta
now calling themselves the King and
Queen of Naples, reside permanently
in France They i've" the correspond

established the precedent Of never ac-
cepting invitations to dinner, the heirs
to their dignity will suffer greatly in
consequence. The hereditary Prince
of Naples as the Neapolitan legiti-
mists now call the eldest son Of The
Count de Caserta, is in Spain with his
second brother. They have been taken
up good deal by the Infanta Isabella,
widow Of their uncle, the Count de
Girgenti, and ex-PIincess of Asturias
The hereditary FRINGE served with

leader, to vary the programs little,
gives the first violin or the cornet a
solo, and nothing is more eXhilarating
than to witness the healthy appreci.t-
ton of the opportunity by the soloist.
Once in a great while there is found a
solo player who, from his ordinary
place, will discourse sweet strains in IL
modest style, without any apparent eff
fort to attract attention. but in general,
the artist of the occasion makes the
most of it. Rising from his seat as
conscious of his own superiority to the
common herd with which fate, by some
curiously unjust caprice, has associat-
ed him, he faces the audience, pulls up
his collar, pulls down his cuffs, gives his
head an experimental twist in two or
three directions to place his neck in
perfect harmony with it's surrounding
dra peries, adjusts his instrument, plays
an imaginary scale or passage to assure
himself that his fingers are in perfect
condition, then, at his cue, raises his
eyes to the gallery in thrill of inspira-
ton and begins.
He is often applauded, partly, it may
be, because the audience can not al
WAYS restrain it's satisfaction at the
conclusion of his performance, and
partly because body of people assem-
bled for the purpose of enjoying them
selves are willing to take the word
for the deed, and testify an apparent
satisfaction in order to make the artist
who has Just been endeavoring to en-.
terrain them feel comfortable. But
there is one orchestral soloist who is al
ways rewarded with abundant hand
claDnings. sometimes even to the ex-
tent of an encore. This is the man who
plays the xylophone. 1t is always the
drummer, though why, is one OF those
musical mysteries which, like the ques-
+ion .sWho wrote the last movement III
Mozart's Requiem?" has never been
satisfactorily answered. The auolence
ALWAYS feels kindly towards the drum
mer. He furnishes more noise imam any
other member Of the combination, anu
makes the listeners feel not only that
they are getting the worth OF thelr
nonev. but also that he is earning MS
wages. They see him working away
with all his might at the big drum ana
the little drum, and the cymbals ana tue
bells. and the triangle and the ral,ieS'

torture is practically unlimited. There
is the beginner on the cornet, for in
stance, who can cause more profanity
than rainstorm at free-and-easy
picnic. The cornet is an instrument of
peculiarly malevolent tendencies, and
able to take it's own revenge on those
who treat it badly. When humored
by one who knows it's weak points, and
is able, so to speak, to smooth down
it's quilts, it is reasonably well-behaved,
but let beginner get hold of it, and
it vents it's feelings in a series Of IN
earthly shrieks or squalls that can be
heard for a mile. and that make the
people in the houses on either side and
across the street discuss the propriety
of organizing a lynching party. The
clarionet is not much better, and the
violin would be worse, were 1T not that
It's voice is by no means so strong. But
what it lacks in quantity it makes up IN
quality, for if anything can make men
tired Of life it is the diabolical groans
and squeaks and walls emitted by
badly used fiddle. It actually seems to
have life of it's own, and feelings Of
it's own, and to express them with such
pathos that, like bowling dog, no mat
ter how much the listener may be an
noyed by the cutlery, he feels nothing
but pity for the creature enduring such
agony.
Very different, says the Globe-Demo-
crat, is the common feeling with re-
gard to the piano. Some sympathy
may be felt for a clarionet in distress
or a violin that is being imposed upon
by a merciless beginner, but no such
sentiments can be entertained in re-
gard to piano, for all classes and
grades of sufferers from soloism, If
such an expression is allowable, are in
hearty accord in the conviction that
piano deserves all it gets simply be-
cause it is a piano. Yet, in spite OF the
fact that no instrument requires more
skill, judgment, and musical genius to
make tolerable, there is a prevalent
idea that it is one of the easiest. There
are probably not more than a hundred
persons now living who can properly
play on the piano, but there are, at a
low estimate, 100000 who think
they can and do not hesitate to try
If each has within the range of the in
strument's capacity ten hearers, the
result is that 1OO,OOO,OOO of the human
race are made miserable during some
portion of the twenty-four hours by
the strains of the "Maiden's Prayer"
or some similar composition devised
especially for the purpose Of teaching
the human race the value of patience
under tribulations. Then again, it is
likely that enough money is wasted
every year in this country on music
lessons given to pupils who know
nothing of music and are utterly in
capable of learning even the prin-
ciples, to pay the interest on the ma
tional debt, the sole result Of all this
outlay being the fact that several hun
dreds of thousands of young ladies are
thereby enabled to infiict an incredible
amount of suffering on their fellow
creatures.
The young feminine piano specialist
is at her best when playing by an open
window in summer time, or when en-

1t is not often in orchestra work how

PERFORMANCES There are probably few
PAGES, the stage and the church choir
excepted, where jealousies are so rife
as in the orchestra, and this being the
case, the obvious policy of the leader
Is to discourage any display of individ-
ua1 talent that would tend to increase
MS own embarrassments. Besides. the
audience has paid it's money for music
and lots Of it, and wants to see every
member of the orchestra working full
time. TO the average theater-goer,
whose amount of music that he keeps
stored away in his soul is somewhat
limited, the idea of one man fiddling or
blowing away with all his might while
the other members of the orchestra sill
by, giving only an occasional scrape, or
toot, or thump, seems unjust. 1t is as
though one clerk were required to
wait on all the customers i'm the store,
OF one member of a street gang did all
the digging, while the other clerks or
diggers stood round with their hands
in their pockets. But occasionally, the

THE business men of Ardmore,
usually wide awake and enterpris
ing, are singularly apathetic when
matters of a public nature, even
though it effect their vital inter-
ests, are concerned. If mass
meeting is called to consider some
very meritoriOus proposition, the
crowd will assemble on time, vote
aye on every motion made and
whOOp it up all along the line, but
when you come to take an inven-
tory of the attendants it will be
found they are, with perhaps half
dozen exceptions, idle curiosity
seekers without any interest what
ever in the subject under discus
sion. 1t is no trouble TO get up a
mass meeting in Ardmore; it is no
trouble to pass any motion made,
but 1t seems an imposSibility to
get the representative business men
of the city together. no matter
how i'm lOrtant the occasion. A case
IN point is the test of the fire en-
gine yesterday. There were not
more than five merchants in all the
crowd, and yet the acceptance or
rejection of the apparatus means
many dollars to that element. The
committee and fremen are Justly
indignant at the Indifference dis
played, and have refused to take
any decisive actidn n until larger
number Of persons interested have
made themselves familiar with the
test and will endorse them in their
report. The meeting called for
that purpose at the United States
court room tonight should he well
attended, and it is to be hoped
that sufficient enterprise will he
displayed on this occasion to make
the meeting truly representative.
