is IT MEMORY, OR WHAT?
l. Peculiar Faculty Possessed by Mr..
F. w. Banner.

In a conversation with Mr.. f. W.
Banner, the well known music dealer,
a few days since, d chance remark
brought out the fact that Mr. Banner
possessed the remarkable faculty of re-
calling instantly the kind and style vi
almost every piano he had ever sold,
during his long business career Iii
Wheeling.
Speaking of various pianos, it was
mentioned that certain person in the
city had Steinway Piano which had

Mr.. Banner, you are mistaken. That

him eleven years ago, and now that
think of it, I've never seen that piano
since.
Feeling confident we were correct,
we asked Mr.. Banner if he WAS sure
as to the kind of instrument.
Certainly" he replied Il seldom
forget any piano | haze ever sold. or
even those sold by my statesmen, if
have any occasion to notice the sale.
Mr.. Banner then named the Kinds OF
pianos owned by dozens of our citizens,
whose, names were given. Some. re
said, he had not sold, but he remarked
that it seemed second nature to glance
at piano and see whae kind it was
wherever he was, and he added: "A nat

This faculty is certainly. the result
of close application AID study Of the
piano business. 1t opens new ques-
ton. too: Does the furniture dealer
so recognize the product of the various
furniture factories, or the shoe dealer
the different makes of shoes? No
doubt they do, and so is it proven that
the incessant working of the mind IN
one direction develops sixth sense IN

doubtedly possesses in most remark

What's this we hear. Mrs. Mark Hanna
snubbed in Washington and not allowed TO
enter the elite of the Distr..ct of Columbia,
while many people of far less prominence
were welcomed, Where's Mckinley? Tell
Spain TO hold off a bit? This must be in
vestigated Heavens and earth, we can t
afford to have our great men lnsulted in
this manner. The thing is growing worse
and worse first it was Mckinley insulted
by a dirty Spaniard: now it's the great
Mark himself This can't go on. The
country cant stand it.-Register.
And is ii possible that the partisan
hatred of Mr.. Hanna on the part of a
Popocratic organ can be so intense and
lacking in Gelicacy as TO make an in
ciGent in which only his wife is concerned
the occasion for such a sneering com
ment?
cial funetio in Washington. no matter
what the cause is matter .Aat does not
concern the public. When it is made the
subject of a sneering allusion inspired by
Official prejud.c against her husband by
a partisan newspaper, II is time to inquire
if there isn't a line of decency to be OBJ
ed.-lnteliigencer.
Dear. dear, What ails Editor Peck
sniff? What has the wicked Register
been doing that has shocked the good
man now?
Is not bit of entirely authentic
news a legitimate subject of comment,
whether it has reference to Mrs Mark
Hanna, to one of the ladies of the
Gould or Vanderbilt families, or to
Mary Ann kehoe. of the Bowery?
Again, what ails Pecksniff? What
is ne driving at? What's wrong?
Editor Pecksniff, himself, never neg
lects an opportunity to comment on
such news
Speaking of newspaper reference to
the wives of prominent men, who are
subjects of legitimate comment, VIXEN
the truth is spoken. we remember the
time when Editor Pecksniff, himself,
very actively supported a political or
sanization that had its paid liars ac-
culating the most foul and indecent
and utterly false stories against the
lovely wife Of a President of the Uni
ted States. The mildest of these stor-
les was that the President was known
TO have kicked her down stairs several
times. Editor Pecksniff knew all about
this dirty work. yet he never raised his
sanctimonious hand or even his pious
eyes in protest, although his attention
was repeatedly called to it. but in his
peculiar Pecksniffiian way coolly. calm
ly, serenely and in the most religious
manner, overlooked it,
o, Pecksniff. wilt thou never shed
thy mantle Of hypocrisy? Has it grown
to thee?

thing, the executive has lately kept its
pected that the pacific position of Presi-
dent Mckinley is largely owing to the
reports of his naval advisors to the effect
that America is not in condition to go TO
war with Spain with an, certainty of an
immediate and overwhelming success
The Spanish fleet is not TO be despised and
South American Republics have not dis
palyed the love for their Eorthern sister
which Mr.. Blaine tried to instill. But all
this will not prevent the jingoes from
forcing the Presidents hand if a scrcap
of evidence duplicating the Cuban author
tiles become public.
The Spectator is certain that the L. S.
government whether moved by infor-
nation from Europe or being only desir
Gus of peace, is anxious to avoid war.
Still. apart from the loss of the Maine
the Spectator thinks the narrowing con-
sular reports from Cuba may so fire the
Americans that they may insist that their
government end such miseries in Ameri-
can waters"
The Spectator then proceeds to repeat
the reported preparations in the
United States, and concludes:
But grave persons everywhere in the
Union are waiting for evidence and are
not inclined for war unless the honor and
policy of the country really require it,.
ADvICES RECEIVED HERE
from Madrid show that while the revolu-
tionary organs, such as Ell Pals, are
shreking denunciations and threats. the
responsible newspapers have adopted a
conciliatory attitude. For instance. FL
Liberal in a leading. article made a sym
pathetic reference to Washington's birth
day and expressed approval of President
McKinley's speech at Philadelphia, con-
sdering il to be a "rebuff for those seek
ing to embrol the United States and Spain
and expressing the hope that the Presi-
dents action will be in accord with his
words"
In conclusion. FL Liberal says:
Time = tell: but for the present we
ought to truce to suspicious and ami
mosites honor of the memory of the
great men. who, in addition to laying the
foundation for the liberty of his people
contributed as few others have done to
the redeeming and Identifying of human
conscience
The ministers declare that the pessimis-
tic views of the Spanish press are only
the echo of the sensa tional statements
made by certain American newspapers, !"
and they say they are more than ever
assured that the Washington cabinet will
do all possible to prevent anything from
altering the excellent relations between
the two governments"
Ell Pals, repeating the charge that ''the
real seat of war is not in Cuba. but in
chicanery. are seeking to Justify their
acts" says "the war in Cuba will only
end when we send an army against the
United States.

ASSASSINS
Attempt to End The Life of King
George, OF Greece---A Bold and De-
liberate Attempt.

Athens, February 26.-An unsuccuss-
ful attempt was made to-day to as
sassinate King George of Greece.
The King was returning from Pha-
lerum at o'clock in the evening in a
landau, accompanied by the Princess
Maria, when two men who were hidden
in ditch alongside the road opened
fire with guns upon the occupants of
the carriage. The first shot missed,
but the second wounded footman in
the arm. The coachman whipped up
his horses and the royal party dashed
away at a gallop. The miscreants fired
seven more shots after them, none OF
which took effect. and the King and the
Princess returned to the palace I'M
hurt.
The King states that one of the as
sassins was dressed in gray clothing
and his majesty declares that he could
easily identify him.
When the second shot whizzed past
the carriage the king rose and stood
in front of his daughter in order to
shield her. One of the horses was
slightly wounded One of the assail-
ants knelt in the middle of the road

noticed that the mans hand was shak-
ing. The shot missed and the king
had clear view of this man who, his
majesty says, was barely twenty years
Old He continued to fire after the
carriage until it was out of range. His
companion did not leave the ditch
As soon as the news became known
all the leading politicians FASTENED to
the palace TO express their congratula-
tons over the escape of King George
and the Princess Maria
The action of his majesty in shield
ing the Princess at the risk of his own
life has aroused great enthusiasm.
