Made Banjo Music Fashionable

The recent death of William c. Dore
the banjo player, recalls the extraordin-
airy jump into popularity that the banjo
made about dozen years ago. There are
people today who will not classify the
banjo as a musical instrument, but their
number is small comparatively. For
many years the banjo was associated
with the colored people in the south and
the negro MINSTREL JIM the north, and the
averages person VINO had never enjoyed
the delights of twanging one rated it as
high in the musical scale as the toni tom.
The Dore brothers and several other men
who are now known as expert banjo
players saw the possibilities Of the in,-
strument. Some of them wrote music
for it, and here and there could be found
young woman who learned to play the
banjo as a pleasant relief from the piano.
Four or five of the large colleges added
banjo clubs to their glee clubs, and any
one who heard the Amherst, the Yale
or the Princeton glee and banjo club
in concert here last winter can have lit
tie doubt as to the popularity of the in
strument. The banjo became the fash
ion, and one of our expert banjo players
put the finishing touches on it's reputa
ton by going to England and winning
royal approval. 1t is an American in
'strument, however and it thrives best
in this country. Three years ago two
southern girls, who had been thrown on
their own resources, came to New York
with their banjos, and within a short
time they were as much in demand for
musicales as If they were grand opera
singers. Probably the fact that they were
pleasing to the eye as. we'll avs to the ear
may have aided them. The banjo has
found its place, and it is not likely to be
relegated again to negro minstrelsy.-

Roentgen Rays on the Smugglers

The French customs officers have
been making successful experiments
with Roentgen rays for the examination
of trunks and the discovery of contra
band articles. Cigars in a closed box
are easily counted, the springs of an
armchair plainly seen as well as the
contents of a carefully sealed package.
Owing to the weight of the new instru-
ment it cannot yet be used at small sta
lions and by the octroi officers at the
entrances to Paris should it's use be de-
cided on, but it is very probable that
smaller instruments will shortly be
made. Experiments will be made at the

10 the average tnougntrul anu
conservative investor, mining is
looked upon as an exceedingly haz-
ardous venture, one almost sure to
prove Improbable, and embodying
every known Objectionable feature
in the market of investment. In the
general accepted term of mining this
feature has been too often demon
strated to be entirely overlooked but,
when the system of the work is
thoroughly understood the result is
readily explained, and no one can
but realize that there are, or can be,
two sides to the question.
Here is a cursory glance at a min
ing venture-Four or five mel own
a claim on which "traces" of ore have
been found-not necessarily in pay
ing quantities to assure profit, but
enough to show "coIor" and thereby
throw hint as to what possibly ex-
lists beneath the surface.
The majority of miners have not
sufficient means, nor are they in a
position to procure the necessary
capital to develop their claims, even
after their value has been success
fully demonstrated, hence a stock
company is formed and a part of the
stock of the company is offered to
to the public to provide money in Or
der that development work can be
continued to thoroughly determine
the value of the mine. If it proves
Of no value, your money is gone,
but if you invest in company like
ours with seven mines, sufficiently
developed to assure large and contin-
uous dividends, besides other valu-
able mining interests, your chance of
failure is reduced to almost nothing.
1t is certainly a we'll known fact that
a great many mines have been
worked and large quantities of ore
brought to sight, but continued de-
velopment was impossible, owing to
the lack of necessary funds. If you
have mine with 100000 of ore in
sight, you are sure of having $780,

you, as fire cannot burn and floods
cannot destroy it. Panics cannot ef-
feet it, as gold is the universal stand.

Consequently he secured the necessary

may prove a bonanza in itself. BY

one or two mines prove profitable we

mutual as all are on an equal basis.
No stock is set aside for the officers
of the company unless it is paid for

Some peaple have asked us why
we are willing to sell our shares if we
have such an assured and profitable

we are willing to sell portion Of

IN THE SEINE
Mysterious Death in Paris of. Miss
We'll of Philadelphia
1t Is long since the artistic part of the
American colony of Paris has received
such shock as the one communicated
to it Monday by the news that the dead
body of Miss Gertrude We'll, young art
student from Philadelphia, had been
| taken out of the Seine.
| Miss We'll disappeared Saturday after
noon, June II. When she was last seen
she was sketching from the Pont Neuf,
according to somes and according to
others, from under the bridge. Which
ever of these accounts, is true, this much
is es'tablshed-MissW We'll never returned
to her rooms in No. 1T Rue Notre Dame
de Champs after she left them on the
Saturday eve of the Grand Prix races.
On the following Tuesday the dead body
of young woman about 2S years old was
taken from the Seine to the morgue.
|
Miss Wells friends had become very
anxious about her, that notice had been
given to the police and that in appear
ance she was sufficiently striking to
make identification easy, in her case the
body remained ait the morgue six days
unrecognized until Monday, when the
corpse was identified and the dead girls
parents in Philadelphia We're communi
Gated with.
The case Isl a most mysterious one, for
there seems no possible motive for sui
eide, while the fact that 1920 were found
on the body when it was recovered seems
to preclude the theory of murder for
the purpose of robbery.
| Miss We'll, SO far as known, had no
troubles. She was comfortably situated
amid pleasant surroundings. enjoyed
perfect health, and was devoted bicy-
clist Only short time ago she made a
bicycle trip to Chatres in the company
of her friend, Miss Osgood, and at the
very period at which she met her death
she was contemplating running down to
Barbizon. This, indeed, was one of the
reasons why her disappearance at
tracted no immediate attention. Her
friends merely supposed that She was
gone away on the trip they had heard

TWO NEW WITNESSES.
They Will Figure in the New Trial Of
AdOlph Luetgsrt.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-The second trial
of Adolph L. Luetgert on a charge of
wife murder will begin on next Mon
day. Judge Oliver H. Horton prob
ably will preside and Ex-Governor
Charles P. Johnson of st. Louis will
assist as counsel for the defense.
There will be present two important
persons who did not figure in the first
trial. One is Heinrich Beicksness, q
brother of Mrs. Luetgert, who became
demented and wandersdAwaY twenty
three years ago as, it is said, Mrs.
Luetgert did last May. He was found
recently on ranch in Colorado doing
odd jobs.
The other new witness is Frederick
Meyer, well known in, northsids Ger
man societies and social organiza-
tions. Meyer will relate a conversa-
ton he had with Mrs. Luetguert ten
days before her disappearance. She
told him, it is said, she was going
away. She explained, according to
the story Meyer is expected to tell, shs
could not bear to remain in Chicago
after her husbands failure in business,
and would go away aud conceal her
identity. During the recent trial Of
Luetgert Meyer was too i'll to appear
in court.

CAUSES DEBATE.
The House, However, Stand By
the Memory Of the
Dead Hero.
THE PROHIBITION BILL is DOOMED.
Atlanta Wants National Quarantins-Knsw-
les Brings in an Important Bill.
The Days DOings.

Atlanta, Nov. 4.-The house had
rather lively time this morning over
an adverse report on the resolution
making Jefferson Davis birthday q
legal holiday. The report was finally
defeated overwhelmingly and it seems
certain the resolution will pass.
Mr.. Knowles, of Fulton, by request
of the Atlanta chamber of commerce,
introduced a JOINT resolution directing
that whenever an epidemic of yellow
fever, cholera or smallpox occurred all
quarantine authorities and regulations
of Georgia should be turned over to
the United States marine hospital.
The resolution requests Georgia's SEN
atorS and representatives. in congress
to use their influence for legislation
which will enlarge the powers of the
marine hospital service 80 as to make
this resolution effective. Atlanta's
trade has suffered severely by reason
of the quarantine against the city for
harboring yellow fever refugees.
The senate spent the day debating
the state prohibition bill, which will
surely be defeated.
Senator w. W. Turner's bill, prac-
tIcally the Bush bill, calling for pro-
hibition of the selling or keeping of
intoxicating liquors in this state, was
made the special order Of the senate
today. Senators Gray, Turner, and
Fitzpatrick made strong and lengthy
arguments favoring the passage of
the bill, while Senator Battle of CO.
lumbus led the opposition forces in q
strong speech. Action on the bill has
been suspended and will probably be
taken tomorrow.
In the house this morning Nesbitt,
of Clayton, introduced a resolution
calling for an investigation of the in
terviews with Representative PhiniKy
of Augusta, who, it is alleged in tbs
newspapers, referred to the members
of the legislature, whe favored the
anti-tootball bill as "jaokasses" and
"farmers." The resolution was re-
ferred tothe committee on rules. IT
is understood that Phinizy will to-
morrow withdraw his denial of the
statements, but will claim that he
was not speaking for publication
which will end the sensation.

The yellow fever situation remains

that there will be delay of two or
three days before the effects of the

some 80 odd new cases yesterday the

He Wants Gatling Guns to Protect the
New Federal Buildings.
Washington, Nov. 4.-General Nell
son A. Miles was asked last night to
give his reasons for recommending
the fortificatlon of the new federal
bnilding in Chicago with gatling
guns. He said:
"There are nine places In this ooun-
try where the treasury chests OF Un-
els Sam are located, and for the past
20 years 1 have urged the necessity of
protecting these deposltories with the
most approved pattern of firearms.
When the subject of the new building
at Chicago was broached, one of my
first thoughts was for the protsctive
measures in the case there should be
an attempt directed against the sub
treasury holdings which will be put
in the building. While was in Con-
stantinople the chances of attack up
ON the Turkish hank in that city were
brought to me and this suggested to
me the necessity for some means OF
protection of the public institutions
of tue United States. Gatling guns
could be placed where they would be
available at moments notice, and
too much publicity could not be given
concerning their presence in the most
com mmanding spots"
