COSTLY RIDDLES.
1t is Said That $4,000 Has Been Of
fered for Last One Paganini Used.

The beauty and sweetness OF Sarasate's
tone are often commented on by people
who never think of the tone being In any
way due to the fitness of his instrument.
As a matter of fact, Sarasate has two
Strads. One is the renowned "Boissier"
Strad., which he managed to secure in
Paris for El0O0, an hour or two before Hill
OF London sent an offer for it. The other
Is one that had Deer used by Paganini,
which came to him through his son
Achille. OF course the latter instrument
has an additional value from the circum-
stance of its former ownership.
Faganini had several valuable violins,
and the instrument which he used in his
later years-a G~uarnerius, dated 1913
would probably command something like
$4,000 IL 1t could be put in the market
now. Indeed, the sum of e2400 has alrady
been offered for it and refused, n a re.
port was lately circulated that G10, 600 had
neen tried. But the instrument cannot he
sold. Paganini himself bequeathed 1t to
the city OF Genoa, and the municipal au-
thorities there are keenly alive to the
value of the treasure. They LAY 1t be-
slowed in a glass case in the recess OF a
wall, which is again encased in a heavy
French plate glass. the whole being closed
by a massive door. Every two months
the seals are broken and the violin is
played upon for about half an hour in the
presence OF city officials, and then it is
replaced and put under municipal seal.
This, of course, is done to keep the in
strument in good condition.
Paganini came by the violin in a
curious way. a French merchant lent
him the instrument TO play upon at a
concert at Leghorn. After the concert
Paganini brought it back to its owner,
when the latter exclaimed to the delighted
establishment of the player: "Never more
will / profane the strings which your
fingers have touched; that instrument is
yours" The Genoa people have been in
luck in the matter of violins. Sivori,
who died last year, was a pupil OF Pagan
mi, and Paganini presented him. when a
youth. with a very fine Guarnerius instru-
ment. 1t was, therefore, but natural that
Sivori should wish his violin to rest be-
side Paganini's, and SO today, for a small
fee, you can see both instruments IN the
municipal niche at Genoa. -Cornhili

Theatrical Etiquette.

Salary and newspaper reDown Go not
count for anything. Ii Is a problem of
professional etiquette. When grand
opera, the drama and comic opera have
exhausted their final claims vaudeville
begins to struggle for recognition.
Thus, Sandow, who receives $1,000 a
week, is looked down upon by the weep
ing mother and the low comedian Of
regular drama. Paul Cinquevalli re-
ceives $500 a week, but the walking gen.
tleman who earns S25 in a Legitimate
theater scorns the ~juggler. a contor-
ZIONIST lady may twist herself inside out
to the tune of $500 a week without get
ting on bowling terms with the comic
policeman of melodfama. Strict etiquette
is preserved. in the profession. a trapeze
performer would no mere think of recog-
nizing q sword swallower than he would
hope TO he invited to dine by a william in
The BoWery. Between drama and yaude-
Vile there is q great guilt OF social ostra-
oism. A vaudeville performer, in turn,
would not speak to a variety artist, nor
would q variety artist recognize a muse
um freak. The human skeleton, the fat
woman, and the two-htaded calf occupy
the lowest position I'm the social scale Of
professional etiquette. They have no
friends, nor visiting list. nor are they
ever invited GU to afternoon teas. From
their humble station we ascend in regular
rotation to variety, vaudeville, bur-
lesque, extravaganza, farce, melodrama.

plays, pastoral plays, comedy, high

A MILE LONG RAFT.
The Passage From North Carolina to Phil
adelphia Made In Six Weeks.

A raft of 600 yellow pine logs for use as
piling in the construction OF some of the
new Delaware River piers has just arrived
here from the coast of North Carolina,
and the transportation OF this huge, I'M
wieluly mass of timer through waters
exposed TO storms was no small feat. This
Is said TO be the first raft ever brought
from North Carolina TO philadelphia,
and the logs are the largest sticks OF tim.
Der ever seen in this market. Some OF
the piles are 30 feet long, and the average
length for the whole lot Is so feet. The
sticks measure from II to % inches in d.
ameter at the butt ana s inches and up
ward at the small end.
Ii required four tugboats TO tow this
raft from the starting point TO this port.
raft through the rivers and canals in
North Carolina, and required six weeks
time to get IL TO this city. The raft was
put up in chains each pile having two iron
rafting dogs to hold IL in the chains.
FIFTEEN piles were placed side by side n
fastened together, making one section, of
which there were AZ I'm the raft. When
these AZ sections of timber were fastened
together they reached nearly a mile in
length.
On the way up the Chesapeake Bay a
torn came up and the logs and raft had
to put into harbor until the storm was
over. Towing the raft over the North
Carolina sound was risky work. These
sounds are very broad shallow bodies of
water, and when any wind blows 1t kicks
up a choppy sea which would tear a raft
10 pieces in a short time. The dangers
in towing RATS are such that it is impos-
sible to have a raft insured in any reli-
able insurance company at the present
time.
This big raft was brought here by
Charles Fraser, who has had considerable
experience in handling piling. He was
present when the first tree was cut for
this raft and remained on the ground un-
til the whole lot was RATED. Then he
came up with it or the tugs, and 1t proved
a very pleasant trip.
Several dealers in timber and piling
were doubtful about the success Of the at
tempt TO handle such a mass of logs, es-
pecially at a time of the year when high
winds and storms are of frequent occur
renee, but the safe arrival OF the great
raft has demonstrated the complete prac-
ticability of the scheme. Philadelphia
