THE NEGRO VOICE.
It Is Not Adapted to the Singing of White
 Mans Music.

It Is Not Adapted to the Singing of White
 Mans Music.
 Owing to personal idiosyncrasies the vocal apparatus of the negro differs from that of the white man. The arch of the roof of the mouth, the nasal sounding board of the colored man, has another conformation. If a true col cred man were to paint his face like a white mans and sing an English, Ital- ian or German aria it is his voice which would at once give him away, says an exchange. The initiative faculty is, however, very strong in the negro so he cannot help himself in following the white mans music and the white mans words. The true, pure African song is probably the ''Juba."
 It is hardly a song, but a chant, abounding in spoken words. As to rhythm, the native negro, or the ono born in the United States, has that to a marked degree. If now and then there has been an occasional negro vocalist of merit since their period of freedom, why has there not been an in strumentalist? The reason is plain. To have a fine voice is an accident of nature. To play an instrument well, so as to gain reputation as a violinist or pianist, means, in addition to natural talent, to devote to the violin or piano many years of study. The race instinct in the negro does not incline toward persistency of purpose. With rhythm alone, as Wallaschek shows, primitive music began.

WEAKENED AT THE LAST.
A Philadelphian Who Would Not Fol
 low His Mistress to Death.

PHILADELPHIA, March 25.-There is little doubt today that Annie Me Grath, found dead at 1926 Girard av- enue Monday night, was either killed as result of plan for a double sui eide with Samuel Langdon, wealthy coal operator, whose mistress she was, or that she alone committed suicide.
 The evidence thus far adduced points almost conclusively to the theory that Langdon took her life, then attempted to commit suicide, but forsook this purpose and fled. The most incrdml- nating fact is that the girls lips and almost the entire interior of her mouth were burned and discolored as If by an acid poison, while Langdon's s tongue from tip to palate is a series of ulcers and mucous patches, which, ac- cording to his own statement, were not there before Monday. This condi- tion is almost exactly similar to that existing in the girls mouth.
 When arrested yesterday, Langdon complained of being ill, and shortly afterwards vomited copiously. He told the police surgeon that his tongue and throat were ulcerated from exces- sive smoking. The surgeon found his throat in good condition and says smoking does not produce such ulcers as in hhis case. The mouth looked as if it had been burned by an irritant such as ether or chloroform.

A NEIGiHBORHOOD ROW.
How the Citizens of Mesquite District |
 Exchange Compliments.

Billy Waddlington keeps small store in what is known as Mesquite or Riverside district, seven miles down the river. Near the river lives an ec- centric character named Macquard, sometimes employed upon the Hoover ranch.
 Tuesday evening Macquard passed the Waddlington store and took of fense where none was intended at Waddlington and Bert Ford. Yester- day the Frenehman visited Waddling- ton and made complaint of the fancied insult. In the fight that followed the storekeeper came out on top. Mac quard leaving, returned with a shot gun, but was intercepted on the road by Waddhngton, who is the precinct constable, and ordered ito throw down his arms and throw up his hands. While this seemingly impossible phys iological proposition could easily have been demonstrated by Macquard, he did not do so, and the result was he received in different parts of his body a peppering of No. 12 buckshot from the gun of the constable. Only the distance at which the shot was taken saved his life.
 Macquard raced into town, closely followed by the constable Each tried to have a warrant executed upon the other, but District Attorney Millay thought it a good case for n-interfer- ence and declined to issue any process of law,

Rubbers for dogs are the newest products of civilization. The street car companies strew salt to melt the snow and this makes the feet of dogs sore. But these canine rubbers are high priced and each dog needs two pair In the Arctic zone the toes of dogs that are used to pull sleds are protected by a sort of leather toe piece fastened with thongs.

SHERMAN AND HANNA.
Complications in the Reported POl;tica
Deal Between Them.

Deal Between Them.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 25.-Concerning the
positions which Senator sherman and NJ.
A Hanna will fill under the forthcoming
national administration gentleman who
is as much in the confidence of Mckinley
and Hanna as any one said to a represen-
tative of the Associated Press:
1T is desired that Senator sherman re-
sign and accept the secretaryship of state
and that Mr.. Hanna go in his place to the
senate. There are obstacles TO this plan
Senator Sherman is an old man, and may
not wish to relinquish place in which he
is entirely contented to accept the great
responsibilities and hard work of the sec
retaryship of state again Governor Bush
nell would have to appoint his successor,
and every one knows that it is his ambl-
tion to be elected by the next Ohio legis-
lature year from now to sit in the sem
ate. Yet if he does not want to appoint
Mr.. Hanna what can he do? He cannot
appoint himself. Foraker is already there,
and Grosvenor is an ardent Mckinley
man.
IF President-elect Mckinley says to
Sherman that the prosperity of the coun-
try requires that his hand be at the helm
in the state department. l don't think he
can refuse. Then if Mckinley, the Re
publican president, and sherman, the
Ohio senator and veteran statesman, say
to Bushnell, the Republican governor,
that the services of Hanna in the senate
are necessary to carry out the Republi-
can party's promise of a prosperous ad-
ministration, how can he refuse? Th,
much is sure, Senator sherman will not
resign until he is assured that the plan
will be carried out"

TRICKS OF MEMORY.



1t would afford material fos no entire
paper to study defects OF memory and to
describe some Of the curiositics of think
ing which result from such defects. y
writer in The Popular Science Monthly
says that he saw lately a business man of
keen mind and good general memory, who
was not paralyzed in any way and was
perfectly able to understand and to talk,
but who had suddenly lost a part of his
power Of reading and of mathematical cal
Culaton.
The letters d. g, q, X and y, though seen
perfectly, were, no longer recognized and
conveyed no more idea to him than Chi
nese characters would to US. He had great
difficulty in reading-had TO spell out all
words and could not read words contain
ing three letters.
He could write the letters which he
could read, but could not write the five
letters mentioned He could read and
write some numbers but s, and s had
been lost to him, and when asked to write
them his only result, after many attempts
was to begin to write the words six, seven
or eight, not being able to finish these as
the first and last contained letters--x and
(Which he did not know.
He could not add and together or
any two numbers Of which 6, or S
formed a part, for he could not call them
TO his mind. Other numbers he knew
we'll. He could NO longer tell time by the
watch.
For a week after the onset of the disease
he did not recognize his surroundings On
going out for the first time the streets OF
the city no longer seemed familiar; on
coming back he did not know his own
house. After a few weeks, however, all
his memories had returned excepting those
of the letters and figures named. But as
the loss of these put a step to his reading
and to all his business life the small defect
| Of memory was to him serious thing,
Experience has shown that such n de
feet Is duo to a small area of disease in one
part of the brain. Such cases are not un
common and illustrate the separateness o
our various memories and their depend
once upon q sound brain

GENERAL WEYLER'S PLANS.


to Pinar del Rio.
HAVANA. Nov. 25.-The unexpected ar.
rival here of Captain General Weyler from
the province of Pinar del Rio, without
having been successful in bringing about
an engagement of any Importance with
the insurgents under Antonio Maceo, is
causing considerable comment here, and
there are many rum ors in circulation. On
one side it is asserted that Wcvlcr's return
means that he will shortly r. IN to Spain
on some plea or another lily, how
ever, this is denied. Indie O., is given
out that WeyleT will return 10 the prov
ince of Pinar del Rio at once to resume an
active campaign against the insurgents
under Maceo
In insurgent circles it, is said that their
leaders claim that the return of the cap
tain general to Havana without bringing
about an engagement with Maceo is
equivalent to a defeat of the Spanish
forces for the latter have completely
failed to carry out the program mapped
out by the Spanish commander. 1t is as
serted that the plan of Antonio Maceo was
to avoid general engagement with the
Spanish troops, as he feels confident that
the wearisome campaign being conducted
by the Cnbans must ultimately exhaust
the SpaniRrds,
