VARIATIONS IN LITERATURE.
Present Day Literary limitations of Musical ConsDositions Common Years Ago.

Present Day Literary limitations of MusIca
 Compositions Common Years Ago.
 Some twenty-five years ago there Wa. a style of musical composition much 1T vogue known as variations" says z writer in the Atlantic Monthly. It ap peared in dozen page sheets entitled Home, Sweet Home-with variations;' Coming Through the Rye-with varia tions;'' Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother" (also with variations). The distinctive plan of these composition: and, whatever their individual char acteristic, they were, as a whole, with out variation-consisted, first, in 8 brace or two of banging prelude, close ly followed by simple little air that somebody else had written. This definitely announced the theme to be ''variated," which was next heard be- hind thin screen of artfully arranged arpeggios. Then it donned deep dis guise in the bass, to become barely recognizable in the treble with trills ditto in bass, in the treble with runs ditto in bass, and finally lost itself in a company of crashing chords so over. towering that one could not be certain whether the original air had beer Coming Through the Rye" or "Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother"
 A similar sort of treatment has now invaded the art of letters: that is to say, it has affected the entire twenty. six, as well as the select seven to be found upon the piano keyboard. It doesn't nowadays satisfy writer tC say, merely: ''One summer morning, fine and early, 1 was walking through the woods" He immediately goes on (taking the word ''early" as his key note): ''The sun had not been long above the horizon and the air was yet fragrant with last nights dew" Then, with fine" and summer as texts, he tells us: Everywhere were the green and luxuriant footprints of Iight-step- ping summer" Starting next from CD IT," (2) walking" and (3) woods, 5 he informs us: "As my feet pressed the soft moss faint forest odors filled the air, the crackle of a dry stick was heard and a startled gray squirrel scampered up the giant oak on my left" Da capo: "On such a glorious morning l was glad simply to be alive, as were we all-young-risen sun, trees, flowers, moss and little gray squirrel" "
 And so, diluting and further diluting an idea, it is hard to tell just what degree of strength it may originally have possessed. The strength of the writer, it is, however, more easy to de- termine.

COST OF CUP RACES.
Lord Dunraven Has Spent Fortune Try
 ing to Beat the Vigilant.

ing to Beat the VIgilant.
 Yachting costs a great deal of money, especially such yachting as is indulged in to capture and defend the America's cup, remarks the New York Tribune. A friend of Lord Dunraven said recently that the earl told him that the total cost to him to build, equip and run the Valkyrie, together with his travelling expenses to win the Americas cup, would be fully one hun dred and fifty thousand dollars. The syndicate which built the Vigilant subscribed one hundred thousand dol lars originally, and has been called upon for an assessment besides, so that the total outlay upon the cup de- fender is not far from the amount ex pended on the Vallxyrie. Add to these sums the money which the Jubilee, Colonia and Pilgrim cost their owners, and the total cost of the latest strug- gle for the America's cup amounts to almost five hundred thousand dollars.
 The honor of holding the Americas cup, however, cannot be reckoned by dollars and cents, and American yacht men would not have been willing to part with the trophy at any cost. The practical benefit to boat building and the pleasure and profit to be derived from pure and manly sport must be added to the credit account.

Indian Relics in Delaware.

Interesting relics of dead and gone Indian tribes are the great mounds of oyster shells formed along the seashore in southern Delaware. According to local tradition, the Nanticokes of Pennsylvania were in the habit of win tering along the seashore in lower Delaware and of eating numerous quantities of oysters. The shells tes- tify 60 the appetites of the Nanticokes. and many Indian implements are found in the mounds.

afternoon, and the session was very in
formal Councilmen Elliott, Drew and
Skinner were there, and simply looked

OF all the long lists of condemned
sidewalks published in the JOURNAL
ten days ago, not more than forty
have been released from condemna-
ton and more than half of that
number have been condemned since.
After all the figuring the list will
be nearly as large as it was originally.
There have even been cases in which
men who did not want to repair their
walks have appeared and asked that
their walks be condemned and rebuilt in
brick and the cost charged up to the
property.
There will probably be another meet
ing of the committee Saturday at farth-
est, perhaps before.

In q COIOred DisOrderly House He says
He Was There on Legal Business.
Judge c. E. Foote of Marion, who was
a member of the Populist state board of
time an active candidate for the
Populist nomination for governor next
year, was arrested in the raid of color
ed disord erly house last night
The little brick house on the southwest
corner of Third and Quincy streets, kept
by Sarah Councillor and Edith Davis,
both colored women with police court
records, has been watched closely by the
police for several nights. Last night
when two men were seen to enter the
house Sergeant Donovan and Officers
Gaines and Pinkston raided the place.
Foote, Armatrout and the Davis wo-
man were booked at 1920 p. m, and it
was past midnight when they were re-
leased. At first $25 bond was demanded,
but when Chief Wilkerson appeared it
was reduced to $40, which was finally Sc
cured The deposits were forfeited by
the parties not appearing in court this
morning.
Judge Foote SAYS he was engaged by
Armatrout as his attorney to find
a man named "Robinson," who is
thought to know something about
Armatrout's domestic troubles and
lost child. He WAS taken to the house of
the Davis woman not knowing the char
acter of the place, and with the belief
that the woman knew were Robinson was

In Eastern Towns Than Western

Mayor Charles Fellows who has just
returned from a trip to New York state
where he used to live and where he has
not been for twelve yeats, has concluded
that he likes Kansas and Topeka best.
1t is mighty dry back there, he says, but
of course there is no subterranean refer
ence in this to Governor Morrill, or his
administration.
Mr.. Fellows was at Cohoes, his old
home, and, among other notable cities, at
Schenectady
"The only thing" said Mr.. Fellows,
"that impressed me greatly in their favor
from a municipal standpoint was the
paving. Asphalt is largely used, but such
asphalt. Not the sort we use in Topeka

contractors: What is the lowest price
