Fanny's versatility, her rapid changes

studYlnr Music.

IT don't think shall take music les
sons this autumn, said a young girl to
the writer not long ago. "You see,
haven't a particle Of talent, and so,
what is the usef' There is just this use.
Admitting that you can never learn to
play as we'll as tho most unpretending
professional or those who play by ear,
which latter is to be doubted, musical
education is valuable, inasmuch as it
will teach you what to enjoy and how
to enjoy it whenever you have the op-
portunity to hear good music. To those
who think of music as only succession
of pleasurable sounds it may not seem
worth while for those having no talent
to study the rules governing compost
tion. But if you once learn that music
is as exact q science as mathematics,
that there is an exquisite beauty in the
development of an idea, the working
out of q musical problem, apart from
the poetry suggested by the melody or
even the harmony, you have found the
key to a fresh world Of never failing
delight. Though you may never be able
to play one page satisfactorily TO your
friends or to yourself, you will have
learned music in such a way that you
will not regret the time spent in It's ac-

CHANDLER ON FINANCE.

CHANDLER ON FINANCE.
No one doubts that William e. Chan
dler is. and has been for years, one of
the most eminent of Republicans. That
party has honored him with many Of
fees Of trust and profit. He has been
a member OF the presidents cabinet,
and is now a United States senator.
Yet, Mr.. Chandler is far from agreeing
20 the Republican shout in favor Of a
gold standard and, as editor of the
Concord Daily Monitor, he has written
a number OF editorials in favor Of BIZ
metallism, which have attracted con-
siderable attention throughout the
country, both from the prominence Of
the writer and from the significance OF
the articles themselves.
Mr.. Chandler is a born politician. He
is one OF those men who never ap-
proach their purpose in a straightfor-
ward manner like the candidate Of De
mocracy. This is clearly shown by the
articles we have referred to. He wants
bimetallism, and he proposes to get IL
by electing a man who is pledged to
the gold standard, but the fact is, and
with all his caution, Mr. Chandler can
not hide the fact that he, like McKin-
ley, is a man Of one idea-the tariff
for the advantage Of which he is will
ing to sacrifice all his other political
principles, if he has any. He evidently
considers Mckinley the same kind of
man that he is himself, and IN view
of that statesman's former political rec
ord, the editor Of the Concord news
paper is undoubtedly right.
Mr.. Chandler proves quite conclu-
sively that the late Mr. Blaine and
other great and shining lights among
Republicans, both Of the past and pres
ent, favored bimetallism. He evidently
thinks that when in power the re
publican party will go back on sound
money and favor bimetallism. This
must be a pleasing thought to those
Democrats who are supporting McKin-
ley for no other reason than because
he has pledged himself to what they
call sound money. Chandler, in fact
let's the Republican "cat out of the
bag" for it is easy to read between the
lines of his articles, and to understand
his cautious illusions to present politi.
cal affairs
All efforts TO secure bimetallisn
through international agreement hav,
failed, and the only way to obtain it
not only in this country, but through
out the world, is for the United State,
TO restore silver to its proper place be-
side gold. When this is done, bimetal
lism is assured. a fact known to al
really honest believers in the benefit.
of the use of both metals as money. 1
Mr.. Chandler were not a politician, an,
a Republican one at that, whose on
idea is that of the tariff, and he reall,
favored bimetallism, he would vote 70
the Democratic presidential ticket
That would be the direct way to get il
but men Of his class never move in
direct line for anything.
Those who have deserted the Demo
cratic party through their love of tn
gold standard. have, to use a somewha
homely expression, Jumped out Of tn
frying-pan into the fire" for if thei
votes succeed in electing the Republ
can candidate they will gain nothing
but find that they have helped to plaC
the high tariff yoke upon the necks {
their countrymen.

HoG-PENs pECLAREp NUIsANCEs


CHESTERTOWN, Nd, Oct. Gone
Fall term of the Circuit Court for
Kent county began yesterday morning,
with Judge Joseph A. Wickes on the
bench. Judge Stump arrived at noon.
Dennis ]. Rowland was made foreman
of the grand jury. Judge Wickes, in
his charge to the jury, denounced the
town ordinance granting permission to
persons to keep hog-pens within the
corporate limits of the town. The judge
declared il to be an established legal
and medical fact that hog-pens are a
nuisance and a menace to health, and
that it was not proper that anyone
should grant the privileges which
would render the home intOlerable and
unpleasant. The taxpayers are almost
a unit against hog-pens within the
town limits. Rev. T. c. Smoot has
started a test case against the town
commissioners of Millington, and seeks
damages from the town for having
failed to abate the pigeon nuisance af-
ter having been appealed to. The trial
docket of the November term is long,
and two weeks session is assured.
