VIOLIN PLAYING.

afanre~unent of the Left Hand-Playing
In Tunc--In Regard to Strings.
After reasonably good bowling has
been acquired, says writer In The La
dies Home Journal, the study Of the
left hand should be taken up The neck
Of the violin must be held between the
thumb and the first finger where it joins
the hand. The entire length Of the fin
ger must be held above the edge of the
finger board, AID the fingers must fall
double jointed and like the hammers Of
q piano on the strings-the very ends of
the fingers touching the strings In or
der to produce a clear tone the fingers
must be pressed very hard on the strings.
"Strong with the fingers, light with the
bow" is the constant refrain Of one Of
the most celebrated teachers.
The first difficulty encountered is that
Of playing in tune. As the violin is not
supplied with frets like the guitar or
mandolin the em is the only guide.
Important as the practice of the scales is
on other instruments, it is doubiy inn
portant on the violin, rs it is by scale
study principally that the ability to
play in tune is acquired. The playing
Of familiar melodies is also Of very
great advantage to the beginner, as he
can tell when he is playing oat Of tune,
where in the case of an exercise with
which he is unacquainted he cannot SO
easily distinguish this fault. In playing
scale passages the student must con.
stantly ask himself whether the next
note is whole step or a half step dis
tant before he plays it. If he will. go
through the exercise beforehand and
mark the whole steps and half steps, he
will execute it in much better tune
when he comes to play it.
In regard to strings, the best are the
cheapest, as they last longer and give q
better tone. The G. should be of gut
wrapped with pure silver wire The A
and d should be Of Italian gut, and the
E can be of either gut or silk. Silk E
strings give poor, dull tone, very diff
ferent from the singing brilliance Of
good Italian gut Els. They arc good for
warm weather playing or for persons
whose fingers perspire very freely. The
hair of the bow should be renewed ev-
cry two months in the case Of players
who practice very much, as it wears
smooth and will not take hold of the
string. The violin should always be
kept strung up in pitch. Do not let
down the strings of the instrument with
the mistaken idea that you will save
some of them thereby. Never neglect an
opportunity to hear good violinists
Something can be learned from each. A
student learns as much from hearing
others play as from private lessons with
q teacher If you can only take II few
lessons, let it he from the best teache,
| you can find.

THE ROME ESTATE.
Committee on Claims Gives a Hear
ing TO Claimants.
Mr.. Norris for the Latter Said Full
Amount Would Not Be Claimed.

The committee on claims gave hear
ing on the claim OF the heirs Of Thomas
Rome for property absorbed by tho city in
1907, which mt that time was valued at
SIC, 000 Since then. IL Is claimed that the
city has received the sum OF 500, 600 from
the property In question. Attorney Sam
ue Norris Jr.. appeared for the heirs
and tried to establish the identity of
Thomas Rome as the man who owned the
property, which was located near Muddy
Cove bridge. now Dorrance street. He
showed that Thomas Rome bought the
property from Bernard Eddy in July,
1T7l. He died shortly after, and there
being no apparent heirs the city absorbed
the property In 1907. Some time ago, as
reported In The News the heirs of Thomas
Rome who live In Finland, appeared
here and made claim from the city for
the value Of the property, and the cues
on was recognized by the Legislature,
which passed an act that all claims in
this case against the city should be made
before July !. or the claims thereafter
should be null and void. Notice was
given In conformity with the REQUIRE
nents embodied In the Legislative bill
ana the hearing today was held In con.
formity with It. MIR. Norris, on behalf
OF his clients, stated that as the property
had been In the care of the city and by ii
made valuable To tho extent Of S5h. cor.
no claim would be made for the full
amount He did claim, however that
the original value Of the property, sic COO,
should 90 TO the heirs. The papers IN the
case were left In the hands of the COM
mittee for further consideration.
