There are six street pianos IN daily
uss in New Haven. Four Of these Srs
owned By an italian saIoonks ksspsr On
Union street and the Others By tks'in-
dividuals who operate them. ThS first
mentioned rents pianosto hiscountry-
men, who call for thsm evsry morning
and return them at night. The mon
who drag the piano about the streets
all day divide their receipts With The
owner svsfy evening on returning.
When the money taken In during the
day - less than Ave dollars the trips
considered poor. On the other hand,
receipts average about SIX or seven dol
lars per day, and sometimes 60 as high
AZ nine or ten dollars Routes where
this harvest 10 gathered are carefully
watched and cultivated and kept as Sc
cret as possible from competitors In the
field. nG 'sSf
One Of these pianos costs $3.50 In New
York, and they are made most sub
stantially In order to stand the wear
and tear of street service. The owners
each year contract for new BARREL"
of tunes, ten in number, which is sup
piled by the dealer at cost of $55. So,
following the original investment, this
10 the only yearly expense.
A bright Italian maid on Fair street
told Register reporter that she and
her father went out" occasionally, and
always played to good houses, 80 to

the Housatonic valley, starting from
Bridgeport and going as far as Pitts
field, Mass. Then they crossed over to
Albany and Troy, followed the Hud-

turned home. She smiled when asked

Effects of Duck Hunting in Maine,

Effects of Duck Hunting in Maine.
Bar Harbor gentleman tells this
story of how the squirrels on White
island often spend their time in feed
ing flock of sheep from a certain
orchard there. He says that he and
his companion, who were duck shoot
ing there last fall, had stopped to rest
in an old field in which there was an
orchard. A flock of sheep was feed
ing near by. 1t was not long before
their attention was called to the CHR
ruping of some squirrels in q thicket,
and they were surprised to see the
sheep suddenly stop feeding and mani
fest great excitement. The squirrels
went into the orchard and, climbing
into one of the trees, resumed their
loud chatter, evidently calling the
sheep, since the flock made at once
for the apple tree. Then the squir-
rels began to bite off the apples, which
fell among the hungry sheep, who
would struggle for the fruit like so
many schoolboys. The squirrels
seemed to enjoy the fun, and after
they had dropped few apples from
the first tree they skipped to a dis
tant tree. for which the sheep would
make in great confusion. After the
squirrels had thus enjoyed an hours
fun with their fieecy neighbors and
supplied them with sufficient quanti-
ty of the fruit, they scampered back to
their haunts in the thicket, leaving the
sheep to resume their grazing. Ken

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is BY constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an inflamed con-
dition or the mucous lining Of the
eustachIan tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when u is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces. "a

IN PARLIAMENT.


C4eds+ops's manner In parliament n
aAus described By Henry w. Lucy. the
stsnoG Gfspher who took down nearly
every great speech tho Grand oA Man
made for the last % years. .
Tho part4eular occasion referred 70
by Mr.. Lucy was In 1873, when things
were going wrong. The premier came
In from behind the speakers chair
with hurried pace. As usual when con-
templating the delivery OF an impor-
tant'speech. he had a flower in bis but
ton-hole, and was dressed with un-
usual care. Striding swiftly past his
colleagues ON Che Treasury bench, he
dropped into the seat kept vacant for
him. Then, turning with sudden
bound of his whole body to the right,
he entered into animated conversation
with a colleague, his pale face work
ing with excitement, his eyes glisten-
ing and his right hand vehemently
beating the open palm of his left hand,
as If he were literally pulverizlng an
adversary. Tossing himself back with
equally rapid gesture, he lay passive
for the space of so seconds. Then,
with another swift movement of the
body, he turned to the colleague on
his left, dashed his hand into his side
pocket as if he had suddenly become
conscious Of live coal secreted there,
pulled out letter, opened it with
violent flick and earnestly discoursed
thereon.
Rising presently to answer ques-
tion put to him as first lord of the
treasury, he instantly changed his
whole bearing. His full, rich voice was
attuned to conversational tone. The
intense, eager restlessness of manner
had disappeared. He spoke with ex-
ceeding deliberation. and with no other
gesture than a slight outward wave
Of the right hand and courteous
bending of the body in recognition of
his interlocutor. No matter how per-
turbed his manner before rising, once
on his feet before the house, and his
self-command was master of his ac-
tions; he became calm, dignified, state
ly. But, warming to his work, the
premier often proceeded through a
series OF gymnastic exercises that
would have left an ordinary man of
half his years pale and breathless.
Sometimes with both hands raised
rigid above his head; often with left
elbow leaning on the table, and right
hand, with closed fist, shaken at the
head of some inoffensive country gem
tleman on the back benches Opposite;
anon standing half step from the
table, with the left hand hanging at
his side and the right uplifted so that
he might with thumbnail lightly touch
the shining top of his head, he trampled
his way through the arguments of his
adversary as an elephant in an hour
of aggravation rRges through a
Jungle. ."-Chicapo Chronicle.

THERE WILL Be NO DISfRANcRISEMENT

The Democratic party has always
stood for the largest measure of indi-
yidual liberty compatible with peace,
order. and the public good, and has con-
sistently advocates the retention of To-
cal autonomy in all matters consistent
with the existing social and economical
order
There is in this campaign no depar-
ture from it's traditional policy. Speaking
for the Democratic organization at the
great rally at Salisbury this week Mr..
James III. Pou pledged the people that
the Democratic legislature of 1899 would
not disfranchise any man. He also
pointed out that under the recent decis-
ion of the Supreme Court it will be
easy to relieve the white men of the
East from the domination of the negro
without taking from the white voters
the right to elect their own local officers.
Mr.. pou further declared that home
rule in the white counties would be in no
way 'interfered with. This is the set
tied conviction and purpose of the De-
mocracy. If it failed to relieve the East
from the disgrace of negro rule it would
be a traitor to white civilization. If it
should attempt to curtail the privileges
of the counties ruled by the whites it
would be untrue to its principles and
it's settled policy. -

A campaign begun by the Fusionists
Quoted on plane of SANDER on white
women and abuse of Christian ministers
would find it's fitting climax in a stolen
election. But a .free ballot cannot
save Fusion this time. The white men
of the State are on the alert and ex-
cursion crowds from Virginia and South
Carolina will not be permitted to enjoy
a holiday at the expense of the Fusion
fund and vote for the negro
ticket in North Carolina just for the
fun of the experience. There is a limit
even to the accommodating possibilities
of a Fusion free ballot"

GOVERNMENT?
North Carolina Presbyterian.

North Carolina Presbyterian.
How the South is coming into her
own! Southern people have always con-
tended for the ability to govern and 10
vote before privileges of office and of
franchise were ever granted. But that
was ''heresy," especially in Northern
Presbyterian circles. The government
that gave the ballot to the negro
gave the ballot to the Indian. The Int
rior has sense enough to see the drift of
opinion now and the courage to face
the issue. Just substitute the millions
of ignorant slaves upon whom the suff-
rage was bestowed for the Philippines
and the Porto Ricans, and Southern
principles are indicated. But-shade Of
Abraham Lincoln,-is not government

journals one would suppose that we must
extend the suffrage to all dependent
races or throw up our republican form
of government When our forefathers
asserted that authority must in justice
rest upon the consent Of the governed,
they were doubtless charmed with the
form of the apothegm; but they made
certain very evident and most impor-
tant reserva tons in their practice. They
excepted their own wives and children
and servants and Indians not taxed"
not to speak of the minority, which
sometimes rose in protest as very soon
indeed in Shay's rebellion. Popular
government rests not upon theory Of
mans rights hut upon an experience Of
mans capabilities. No man has nat
ural right to enact injustice; and it

1t is expected that the next Legislature

pie of the Eastern counties by providing
some system of county government for
the negro counties that will protect the
white people there from the abuses of

has recently decided that the system OF
county government need not be uniform

If any proof We're needed that the
Democratic party is fighting in a good
cause in this campaign it is abundantly
found in the letters that have flooded
the press in every section of the State,
written by men of every shade of po-
litica belief, who hope for and desire
nothing but a clean administration of
affairs in the commonwealth, and all
declaring their intention to vote the
white mans ticket this fall. A more
splendid tribute was never paid to
political party. There could be no Keen
err inspiration for the men who are bear
ing the brunt of the battle than this
spontaneous endorsement from men who
are citizens first and party adherents af-
Ierward. When before has there been
such a spectacle? And under its banners
there are none more highly esteemed

MR.. DALBY EPlToMlzeS FUSION ISSUES

The Oxford Ledger reports converse
ton in which Mr.. Daily, Fusion candi-
date for the State Senate, forcibly, but
not piously, expressed the sentiment of
his gang. A gentleman asked Mr.. Daily.
sWhat becomes of the great principles of
the Populist party when you fuse with
the Republican party, as they are so
widely different from that of the Repub-
LEANS"
Daily warmly replied: 'D-n the prin-
ciDles. all we want to do is to get in. :
Mr.. Daily has not sprung any sensation
on the State in this frank and truthful
declaration of his party's lack of rrinci-
pie. The sensation will be. supplied to
Mr.. Daily and his associates on election
day by the voters who will decline to
help men to "get in" whose sole recon-
mendation is an unlimited capacity for
for swearing and an inordinate hankerng
after pie.
There are quite a good number of peo-
pie in the State who are not prepared to
assent to Mr.. Dalby's light and airy
ON the principles" and who will take
the trouble to express their dissent by
the quiet but effectual route of the bal
lot-box.
The people of Month Carolina are
scarcely to be awed into supporting gem
tlemen who want to "get in by a
naughty and profane contempt of prin-
ciple.
