Several hundred men, women and
children gathered on the banks of
Duck river at the bridge Wednes-
day afternoon, to see prof" Harry
Miner, "the daredevil of the air."
make a headlong leap from the
bridge into the water.
The professor" had promised to
leap from the topmost part of the
bridge, but, after the collection was
taken up, he stated that the dona-
tions were so small that he would
only Jump from the railing. From
this part of the bridge TO the water
is about 80 feet, and the river being
low, was only about 10 feet deep.
The professor" held his arms in a
Nv" shape over his head, and leap
ing from the bridge, shot headfore-
most like flash through the air.
His hands struck the water first,
and his body went to the bottom.
He arose unhurt, however, and
swan to the bank without assis-
lance.
prof Miner claims to be one of
the few who have made successful
leaps from the Brooklyn bridge,
New York. He says he will make
another Jump from the top of the
bridge in Columbia tomorrow.

five landscapes after the manner of
Vatican, and between these. at equal
distances, are medallions of the great
composers. This piano, also empire in
style, has its consols picked out in
strong lines of heavy gilt. For a piano
stool there is a little sofa, decorated in
the same manner and beautifully up
holstered in a satin of dull tones with
a device of gay flowers, which acts as
a finishing touch for the whole scheme.
There is still another boudoir upright
in a fine red mahogany of variegated
tints in which this wood so beautifully
lends itself. It is of a style known as
the Marie Antoinette, having a beveled
glass top in which festoons of wreaths
in fine gilt adds greatly to this mir
rored surface. It is peculiarly striking
in form and as furniture merely is
! most interesting.
1t was the founder Of these we'll
known pianos, just before his last i'll
ness, that completed the most wonder
full effort of his life. After many
months of daily toll he succeeded in
making for the musical world known
as 100 C, which in musical parlance, by
its vibration of tones, goes ahead of
the artists" SO great was this feat in
scale making that he received the cross
of the Legion of Honor, and 50 fine in
| quality is this vibration of sound that
it can be heard quite some seconds af-
