cision touches on the trusts -

MUSICAL BURGLAR ALARM.
Mr.. Wilson Relies on a Sweet Toned Chime
For Protection.


If an enterprising burglar should take
it into his head to visit the house of Presi-
dent Wilson of the New York board Of
health, he would meet with one of the
greatest surprises of his career, for the
moment he should succeed in opening the
front door every occupant of the house
would know of his presence and he him
self would be decidedly startled.
Instead of discharging the contents of q
gun at him, ringing gongs or electric bells
or springing powerful trap that would
hold him captive his opening of the door
would simply fill the whole house with a
delicious melody, for it is music that Presi-
dent Wilson relies upon to protect his
home.
This burst of melody would not only
astonish the burglar, but it would puzzle
him. Try as he would the chances are
that he would not be able to discover its
source.
Then when tho lights were turned up
he would learn how cleverly he had been
caught. On the back of the door he would
discover an immense box strung across
with wires, something on the order of an
aolian harp. Suspended over the face of
this harp he would discover "a number of
small leaden balls attached to vibrating
wires Of different length, each ball strik-
ing a different wire, and the whole form
ing perfect chord.
The wires upon which these little balls
are strung are so vibrating that when once
put in motion by the opening of the door
they continue FOR several minutes. Begin
ming with one loud peal they beat and re-
bound back from the wires of the harp
with gradually decreasing force, until the
faintest tinkle is succeeded by absolute
silence. The different chords are produced
by the bells striking the wires at different
times.
Another use for tho harp is to have 1t
ring out peal of sweet voiced welcome
to Mr. Wilson's visitors. He thinks that
a more delicate compliment could not be
paid guest than such a greeting. and he
is as proud of the harp in this role as he is
of it in that Of a burglar alarm. New

"IRELAND'S JOAN OF ARC"
Miss Comes Interest In the Cause of the
Evicted Irish Tenants.


There is rather romantic story regard.
ing the way in which Miss Maud Come,
whose efforts for the cause of Ireland have
won for her the name of the Irish Joan
of Arc, " and who is now about % years
old, first became interested in the cause of
the evicted Irish tenants. Her father was
an officer i'm the English army. He had
served in India and in the Egyptian cam
paigns and was decidedly English in his
sympathies. When he returned to live
upon his patcrnal estate in Kerry, on the
southwest coast of Ireland, he set about
bringing up his daughter after a strictly
English fashion. She was not instructed
in Irish history, nor was she made ac-
quainted with the conditions then existing
among the Irish peasantry. While driving
one day about ten years ago near the west
coast she came upon an eviction scene of
the kind then common, but entirely new
to her. She stopped her carriage remained
throughout the whole proceeding, and then
followed the old peasant to the place where
he was carried, for he was too i'll to walk
The scene reused her sympathies. She be-
gan to make Investigations and soon de-
clared that she intended to devote her life
and fortune to the cause of her people
Since that time she has continued her work
in behalf of the tenantry and has recently
interested herself even more deeply in the
cause Of the political prisoners. She has
spoken in most of the countries of Europe
and has spent large sums of her own money
in the work which she has chosen. New

the great resistance OF the three heavy

have caught upon something during the
ascension, for IL was found that n large

from the tension of the tangled guide

RELIGIOUS ENTHUSIASTS.

Southern Mountaineers Desert Their
Homes For Geliespie's New Religion.
A band of religious fanatics who believe
that they have been sent upon earth TO

"Sanctiiiers" and first appeared n few

filled with bushels Of apples to sell, is the

ment spread until today for miles and
miles the country is deserted and the peo-
pie are spending days and nights in sing
ing and thanksgiving.
Sunday is the big lay. Long before dawn
the "Sanctifers" come out of the little
white tents surrounding the meeting place
and prepare for a day of labor. They gath
er at the ring, and Gillespie prays and
watches for the rising of the sun. When
the sun rises over the hills, he calls upon
the "Sanctifers" to rise and greet the
king of day They dance, fling their hats
in the air and sing chanting chorus. On
mornings when the sun is hidden behind
banks of clouds the "Sanctifiers' remain
kneeling in silence
The feature of these mountain meetings
is the singing. No hymnbooks are used,
but the singers soon learn the lines. There
is no melody in what they sing. 1t is one
mighty chorus of screams that would go
well with "a steam piano Here is the song
with which the services are opened:
Go tell your mother and all her kin
They'll never cross Jordan with all their sin.
Sing, sweet Christian. and let me inl
You can dig my grave with silver spade,
But III rise in the coming day.
You can fasten my coffin with chains Of gold.

It's got ny bottom, it's got no side,
And none can shun but the sanctified.
