MASTER ARTHUR HAND.
His Violin Playing IL not Unnaturally
Prccocious, but Full, Natural
and spontaneous.

To the Editor or the Optic.
LAS VEGAS, N. NJ, February 9th,
1871 am moved to send . line 10
you, apropos of the extraordinary
pleasure l have recently experienced 10
listening to the violin playing Of Mas
ter Arthur Hand.
AS a rule, | do not care 10 hear the
music of a youthful prodigy. Their
performances IS apt to suggest . forced
and unnatural development. But in
the case of young Hand. nothing what.
ever of the sort occurs. On the contra
ry,he plays con amore with an ease and
dash and spirit, perfectly natural and
spontaneous He plans himself sturdi
ly on his feet; adjusts his instrument
with the dellberation Of . veteran
connoisseur, and then dashes in, and the
sparks fy,-so to speakl His tones are
broad. strong, mellow; his technique
surprisingly ~facile; his ear absolutely
true. There is a %rollicking freedom
and gaiety to his lighter passages,
some of these in that Scene de Ballet of
de Besiots, for instance, as contagious
as delightful.
The instructor, MI. John A. Hand is
to be warmly congratulated, not simply
as demonstrating that a boy of twelve,
rightly taught, may rival mature and
exceptional musicians in playing much
of the music of the masters, but on
demonstrating that this proficiency may
be as spontaneous as SO much fancy
or ball-playing would be.
Congratulations to the younger brother
in the possession OF real musical genius;
and to the elder on his extraordinary
success as a discerning and most gifted

AWFUL DEATH LIST.
Three Hundred and Flrty victims of Heat

In One week.
( CHICAGO, July 12.-The fierce heat
under which the greater portion of the
country has sweltered since the lst of
July moderated in many localities Sat
urday and predictions from the weather
bureau at Washington indicate that
lower temperature will bring gen.
eral relief. The records of pros
trations and deaths resulting from
the long heated term approaches
in magnitude that of a general
epidemic. Reports from all sections of
the country received by the Associated
press show prostrations numbering in
I the neighborhood of 1000. with fatali-
ties close to $50. In addition to this,
there were scores of deaths re-
sulting Indirectly from the intoler-
able heat, the death rate in many
of the large cities showing n
fearful increase over previous years.
The central states suffered more
severely than other sections, the heat
being almost deadly in Chicago, Gin
cinnati and st. Louis. In number of
fatalities, this city heads the list with
81 deaths, Cincinnati and suburban
points reporting G5 and st. Louis ~.
Throughout the south the heat was in
tense but the death rate much lower
than in the north.
In addition to 81 deaths from heat
in this city, six have drowned while
bathing to escape the sizzling rays of
the sun, six have been driven in
sane, and like number have
committed suicide. while 34T prostra-
tions, more or less serious, have oc-
Cured. The health department reports
show a great increase in the mortality
among children and sufferers from
chronic diseases the average number
of deaths for the past three or four
daVs have almost doubled

Cherokee Nation Sent to Indian Agent
WIsdom.
WASHINGTON, July ia list of
intruders, containing the heads of
families who are to be removed from
the Cherokee nation on the demand of
the authorities of that tribe, has
been sent to Indian Agent Wisdom,
of the Union agency at Muskogee,
l. T. The agent is directed that
great care be exercised in the
removal to prevent undue harshness
and to work the least hardship
possible. The agent is directed to per-
sonally supervise the evictions and to
turn over to the designated officer of
the Cherokee nation the improvements
from which intruders are elected, call
ing on the Cherokee authorities to ap-
point representatives to assist him. A
troop of cavalry will be detailed to
support the government in the work.

Seal Herds Not pecrensing.

The report of Prof. Darcy Thomp-
son, upon his mission to Behring sea
in 1896 to inquire in behalf of the Brit
ish foreign Office whether the present
restrictions of the Behring sea fishing
are sufficient for the protection and
well-being of sea life" has been issued
as u parliamentary paper. Prof.
Thompson believes that the alarming
statement in recent years giving ac-
counts of immense decrease of the herds
and prophesying their approaching eX-
tinction are overdrawn, but there is
still abundant need of care and prudent
measures of conservation. 1t is easy
to believe that the margin of safety is
narrow, if not already TO some extent
overstepped.
1--WE may hope for the perpetuation
of the present numbers" says Prof.
Thompson, but cannot count upon an
Increase" 1t is his earnest hope that
recognition of mutual interests and re-
gard for common advantage will sug-
gest measures of prudence which will
keep the pursuit and slaughter within
definite bounds.EChicaGo Chronicle. -

TOPEKA PENSION OFFICE.

Some Interesting Figures Which Show a
Steady Increase-MissourFsB Big Lead.
Topeka, Kan, July 14.-The report
of the pension office, completed last
night, shows los, ,923 pensioners, gain
of $50 July 1, 1896. There have been
3,2S7 deaths, and 1904 have been
dropped from the rolls for causes other
than death. The government, how
ever, has allowed 5,67S pensions in this
district during the last year.
The increase has been steady,
but little more rapid since
the Inauguration of President Nc
Kinley than before. The total amount
paid by the Topeka office in the last
year was $l5,O6S, ,s27, of which 36,577
pensioners in Kansas received s., ,581,-
T69, and AZ, ,754 pensioners in Missouri,
So, 422, ,796. The figures are little sur
prising in view OF the fact that Kansas
is supposed to be full of pensioners,
and Missouri has not that reputation,
though it has more pensioners than
Kansas, Colorado and Oklahoma taken
together, and almost as many as the
three with New Mexico added. Col
orado has 5,205 pensioners on the To
peka rolls, Oklahoma, 4,s2O; New Mex

UNION, Mo-, July l2.-Erastus Brown,
the negro who criminally assaulted
Annie Foerbing near Union, Mo-, one
week ago, was taken from the Jail at
Union at 2:30 a. IN. Saturday and hanged
to willow tree, one mile southeast.
Forty or so mounted men rode into
Union at two o'clock. They galloped
four abreast until they were within
one block of the Jail, where they di-
vided into two squads. One squad
rode north and the other rode south,
completely surrounding the houses of
the sheriff and jailer. AT each house
they placed strong guard. The bal
ance rode quickly to the Jail and at
tackled the iron doors with sledge ham,
mers and cold chisels. The noise
awakened many of the villagers and
they hurried to the Jail with the avowed
purpose of preventing a lynching.

Excellent sweet sandwiches are made
from nuts and stoned raisins chopped

bread or crackers. Candied fruits. cher

moistened with wine or lemon juice. 10
Is q golden rule of all sandwiches thAa
the filling should be minced if possible
and moistened into a paste with soms
suitable sauce, juice, or other amaiRv-

Scheme on Foot to Ally Four Great Nations

WASHINGTON, July IA. An under
standing has been reached between
France and Great Britain looking to
the completion and control of the Pan
anna canal. Germany was invited to
participate, but owing to the Greco-
Turkish complication her assent has
been delayed, though it will undoubt-
edly come in time. Now an effort will
be made to learn if the United
States will come in and form
quadruplc alliance for the
completion and naturalization of
the canal. Should such an alliance be
effected it would be the most powerful
for peace the world has ever known.
Fourteen hundred and seventy-seven
naval vessels, mounting 1928 guns,
and manned by IFS. .6S5 seamen, would
stand for the protection of the canal
under the flags of the four great powers
named. They would represent a gross

BINGHAMPTON, N. Y, July 13.-The
Barbara Yagle case, of Oneonta, which
has been in litigation for several years,
has been settled at a special term of
the supreme court. The suit grew
out of trouble over the construction of
a block at Oneonta. Dudley 7. Stevens,
this city, and Alfred C. Lewis, of One
onta, were the architects. They sued
to secure $500 from Mrs. Yagle, which
she refused to pay. AT one time the case
was in fair way to be settled, and
Mrs. Yagle was about to sign paper
for this purpose, but changed her
mind. The suit has cost the parties
more than $4,000, and the case has
been in litigation several years 1t
has been before nearly every supreme
Judge in the state.

THE TEMPLE IN DANGER.


Chicago w. c. It. us Resort to Prayer to
Help Lift IA Big Debt.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Central Wom-
ans Christian Temperance union has
set aside Monday, July 10, as day of
special prayer for the woman's temple.
The special object of the prayers will
be that the debt which now rests on
the woman's temple may be raised be-
fore next January, for if it is not the
building will then pass into the hands
of Marshall Field. Field first
promised to give $4,000 toward
the raising of the debt, and in the
spring he raised this sum to $50, 900 if
the association should be able to raise
$3.50, 600 more before next January.
Although Mrs. Carse, for the w. C. I.
o., has tried hard to raise the money
which will free the temple from debt,
SO far she has only collected about
$500, OOO This sum includes Mr.. Fields
donation. The remainder the union
hopes to raise by faith and work

Chamberlain preached sermon to
deaf mutes Sunday afternoon at the
Church of ST. John the Evangelist.
One of the features of the services was
a quartette of girls, all mutes, each
graceful and handsome, who ''sang"
three songs with their fingers. The
congregation of mutes joined in the
chorus with much zest and en-
thusiasm, as if they had the
powers of bellows and vocal chords
mighty enough to make the sounds of
a megaphone. The deaf mutes paid
the closest attention to the sermon of
DIR. Chamberlain, but to one who did
not understand the language of dex-
ferrous digits it was an entirely dull
and uninteresting affair, with the ex-
ception of the time when the quartette
of pretty girls sang their songs

INTERESTING PENSION CASE.
Secretary Davis Renders a Decision That
VIII Affect Many Claimants.

secretary Davis henuers DECISION Ihht
win Affect Many Claimants.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-An important
decision constituting the rights of pen
sion claimants in line of duty cases
was rendered yesterday by Second As
sistant Secretary of the Interior Web
ster Davis. The Issue s made in the
case of Henry Miller, private in COM
pany X, One Hundred ana First Ohio
infantry. After being relieved from
guard duty one day, Miller volun-
tarily assisted teamster IN watering
mules, and while so occupied was
fired upon and injured. The depart
ment heretofore has rejected such
cases as not in the line of duty. AS
sistant Secretary Davis, however, re
verses the pension bureaus action,
holds that the claimant was not dis
obeying orders nor violating army
regulations, but was aiding a comrade
in protecting government property;
was doing something which he not only
had right to do, but was commenda-
BILE, and also was acting in the line of
duty. The adoption of this policy will
affect many claims. The case is held
to be practically similar to that of a
soldier hurt by the enemy firing on
him while he was off duty in his tent,
in pursuance of any employment at
which he had a right to be employed.

THEY ARE HARMLESS.
Pistol Bullets Fail to Penetrate Cloth
Invented by Zeglen.
An Angry Nebraska Mob Furnishes Farmer
for Il-TreatinG His Stepdaughter-Al-
legged Witch Dragged to Death by
SuperstitIous NeighbOrs.

CHICAGO, July 13.-Five pistol shots
were fired at the breast of Father Cas-
inner Zeglen, inventor of a bullet proof
cloth, from revolvers ranging in caliber
from 81 to A at distance of ten PAGES.
1t was the crucial test of Zeglen's bullet
proof cloth. 1t had been previously
tried on dogs, sheep and cadavers, but
to make the series of successful eXper-
iments complete it was necessary to
use human target. The experiments
were held on the roof of private hos
pital. A cabinet was made of wood
and iron with an opening near the top
where Zeglen exposed his breast COW
cred with the bullet proof cloth to the
aim of Lieut.. Sarnecl<i. The first shot
was from 32-caliber revolver, and pro-
duced temporary stinging sensation.
A second shot was fired with the
same result. For the third test 3S-
caliber revolver was used. Zeglen eX-
planned the sensation this time as feel
ing as if some one had poked him in
the ribs with his knuclSles. The last
test was with a pistol of 44-caliber.
Zeglen stood this bullet as he did the
rest. After the test not a mark could
be found on his body.
III-Treated His Stepdaughter.
BEATRICE, Neb., July 13.-Yesterday
morning a mob of several hundred
masked men took Adam Winebrenner
from the county Jail, beat him almost
to death with bull whip and then
treated him to a coat of tar and feath-
ers. Winebrenner had been arrested
Saturday afternoon for torturing his
pretty 17-year-old stepdaughter, Julia
L. Barton. When the young woman
was examined her back and limbs were
found to be a mass of cuts and deep
wounds. They had been made, she
claimed, by her stepfather using whip
on her.
Work of SuperstitIous Neighbors.
LAS VEGAS, n. NJ, July 12.-Near La

Teodora Salas, who was considered by
the ignorant natives to be n witch, and
who was supposed to have had an evil
influence on the health of a Miss Ia
foya, the belle of the neighborhood,
was taken to the mountains by the

chum, Antonio Lucero. A lasso was
attached to her head and her
heels and fastened to the pommels of
their saddles and she was dragged to
death.
