New York imitator aud the Vieunese
who pays his bier kellner more than ten
kreutzer-about four cents--is looked upon
as a spendthrift.
There was only one place where the
growth OF the pernicious system could be
held in check, and that was the club Most
of the clubs made rules against the tip
practice Members were supposed to
stand on an equal footing, and the fact
that one could afford TO pay literally for
service should give him no advantage over
his fellow-member, who could do no more
than pay his dues. Here was one pace
where a man could be served without
bribing a man to do what he was paid for
doing, and where the first-come-frst- served
rule could be carried out in it's broadcast
sense
But it seems that the tip glvers and tax
ers have destroyed the barriers which re
spectacle clubs have erected for the pro
lection of their members. and the notice
which is quoted at the beginning of this
article is the result. Thousands of men
who have watched the growth Of the sys-
tenn, and who know how it has been abus-
ed. will be pleased at the action of the
club, and it is expected that other organl-
cations will take steps in the same ,lirec-
ton.

IN TWO PIECES.
An Ingenious Kansas city Man Has
Made n Violin.

From the Kansas City Star.
J. G. Klndig, a violnist and orchestra
director of u West Tenth street, has man
ufaetured a violin by hand that has set
at naught all modern theories of violin
making From a log of well-seasoned ma
PIE and a strip Of cypress, both picked up
in lumber yard, he has made violin In
two pieces. The back ana sides were
hewn from one piece. the top from anoth-
er and put together; yet the violin Is per-
feet In every way and has a dellciousiy
sweet tone. This Is very remarkable when
the tools used in the construction are tak-

steel scrapcrs.
Kindig worked lntermittently; sometimes
a whole day. and other times an hour a
week. just as the humor struck him; yet,
In spite Of the dersive laughs Of his musi-
cal friends, he finished his instrument in
three weeks OF actual work.
Mr.. kindlg claims several advantages
for his violin over the common machine

ed OF many pieces which must be glued to-
gether Kindig's violin Is superior In that
there is no opportunity for glued parts
to seperate. The bar, which in all
violins Is glued to the inside OF the cover
Just before the violin Is finished, was cut
out OF the same pieces Of wood as the top,
and In Mr.. Kindig's violin there is no dan
ger ofthe base-bar shifting its position.
But the particular point in which most
OF ali Mr.. Kindig departs from the accept.
ed theories OF violin making Is that the
back and sides. which are cut from one
piece Of wood, are OF a uniform thickness,
Instead OF raising thicker toward the cor
ners Of tho box. This. according to Mr..
kiudig, is what surprises most violinists
who nave seen this instrument, and those
who were most derisive when the idea was
first broached 10 them are now tho most

As a strange and striking ceremonial by
which the Vatican authorities assure
themselves that the Pope is dead. The
Cardinal Chamberlain approaches the
bed of the dead Pontiff, and bears in his
band a little silver hammer. He pros
rates himself before the bed and calls
the dead man three times, not by his
name as Pope, but by the name that
was given him at his baptism. Then
he touches him lightly on the forehead
three times with the hammer. The 81
lence which follows this appeal by
voice and by touch is final proof that
he who makes no answer to it is beyond
It's reach. After this formality the Car
dinal pronounces to the waiting priests
that the Pope has ceased to live.

Pay Rewards for Dead Ones.
Some very curious cases have been
decided by the law department of the
Postoffice Department relating to re-
wards for the capture of robbers of
postoffices. Mr.. Milliken has just rcn,
dered decision against claimant at
l california, No., where a postoffice safe
was robbed. In such cases the Post
office Department pays $500 each for
N conviction Of the persons engaged
.(n' the robbery. There were five per.
sous concerned in the affair, but the
authorities had no clue to the men. 1t
happened, however, that the guilty per-
sons were in saloon some time after
ward, and one of them got into a dis
pute with farmer and a lively row
ensued, in which the farmer shot and
Killed the man. The other men ran out
but were captured by other persons, not
because they were postotiice robbers,
but because they were engaged in the
row.
1t turned out on examination that the
man who was killed was the ringleader
Of the robbers and had the bulk of the
booty on his person. His death resulted
In proving completely in the robbery
upon the other four men. The men who
captured the four have been allowed
500. The farmer made application for
500, but it is held that the rewC rd be-
ing offered for the ARREST and convic.
ton" Of the robbers, he cannot be paid
the amount. The dead robber was
neither arrested nor convicted of the
offense. Mr.. Milliken said that it was
rather hard, but, under the law, he
could do nothing else.
He recalled case in Oklahoma where
there had been a robbery and three no.
t0rious desperadoes were pursued. and.
after fierce encounter, one was killed.
another mortally wounded and the 9TH
er captured. The dead robber in this
Instance was the leader and had nearly
all the stolen property on his person.
The others were tried and convicted,
and the wounded man died shortly af-
terward. The reward of $400 was paid
for the capture of the two, but, although
MI. Milliken reported in favor of pay.
dng the reward for. the dead robbpr. il
was found not to be in accordance tn
the law, and was refused. Postofire
robbers must be taken alive in order 10
