Abuse ofthe Piano.

DR.. Waelzhold, according to a cablegram
has started on crusade against the
piano. He seeks to prove in the case Of
girls that excessive practice on this in
strument leads to chlorosis and nervous
disorders.
He condemns the deadly custom" of
compelling young girls to hammer the
keyboard before they are Is years old,
and claims that even at that age the
practice should be restricted to those
who have real talent and a robust con-
stitution.
Waelzhold even cites figures chow re-
liable, we cannot say) which tend to show
that Of 1000 young girls studying the
piano before the age of twelve years, 600
were afflicted with nervous disorders later
in life; while of a similar number who
began to learn the piano later in life only
200 suffered in like manner. OF those who
never touched the piano only 100 were
afflicted in a similar way. The violin is
accused of being an even more dangerous
Instrument than the piano.

CUBAN OFFICERS WANT PAY
Said to Demand Five Dollars
for Identifying Soldiers of
Their Army.
IRv Cable to The Associated Pres

IBy Cable to The Associated Press.
HAVANA, June 2, 1S99.-There is much
comment here over the fact that Cuban
officers have been demanding S. as COM
pensation for identifling Cubans who have
been applicants for the $75 allowed by the
United States authorities to former SOL
diers of the Cuban Army who surrender
their arms. A majority of the Cubars
here do not believe the statement, think
ing the story was prepared to injure them
in public opinion, but facts prove the story
to be true.
Great interest is manifested among all
classes in tomorrows races, which bid
fair to be very successful. Soldiers and
sailors in uniform will be admitted free,
so they will be well represented.
General Wilson left here this morning
for Matanzas, General Wood leaves tc-
morrow for Santiago de Cuba and General
Carpenter will cave Havana on Tuesday
for Puerto Principe.

The Wilson man is about six feet tall,
muscular and well proportioned and is
stylishly dressed. He takes his arrest
and confinement as matter of course
and does not appear to be worried as to
the outcome Mrs Wilson seems very
much distressed and keenly realizes her
position. Both prisoners passed very
comfortable night and partook of a hearty
breakfast.
The boy brought here In an attempt to
identify Mrs. Wilson is Fred Long of New
York. On the morning of May q, while
standing on the corner near his home

ryboat Robert Garrett, which brought the
news to New York
Those on board of her said the Atlantic
Highlands steamer Monmouth, on her
way to Atlantic Highlands, had only a
few moments before passed the spot
where the girl was picked up, and it APP
peared that she had jumped overheard
from the Monmouth From the deck Of
the Robert Garrett the girl appeared to
be pretty and well dressed
1t was rumored that the girl picked up
by the Staten Island ferryboat answers
the description of Carrie Jones, the
nursegirl alleged to be connected with the
kidnapping of child Marion Clark,
but it does not appear that there is any
truth in the rumor. She jumped from
the ferryboat Southfield, and a woman
companion who was with her said her
home was in Long Island and that the
would-be suicide had been in failing
health for some time. This companion
sent message to the rescued womans $
friends.
The young womans name is Mrs. Peal
Baylis Clark. of Brooklyn. Some time ago
she was released from a sanitarium.
Mrs Clark boarded the ferryboat South
field this morning at the foot of White
hall street, accompanied by her little
daughter and friend
They occupied camp chairs on the up-
per deck on the starboard side of the
boat When the ferryboat was nearing
Robbins Reef Mrs. Clark suddenly sprang
to her feet and jumped over the rail be-
fore any of the passengers near her could
lay hands on her.
In falling the head struck the guard
rail, and she was unconscious when she
struck the water. She was taken to the
Smith Infirmary and at noon had not
recovered consciousness. 1t was said
there was chance for her recovery.

Veterans Rights Association
Talks of Asking For
Subscriptions.
NO GODDESS NEED APPLY
MIR. Robert Davis Asked to
Head the Committee--Sug-
gestions For Tablets.

The band of G. A. R. veterans led by
p H. O'Neill, VIM. Simmons, PM. Null
doom and others, have renewed their KICK
against the monument unveiled in front
OF the City Hall on Decoration Day last
Failing in their request to the Court OF
Chaneery that an injunction should issue
preventing the committee from putting
up Maruiny's design of the Goddess, they
now talk OF raising subscriptions to pur-
chase another statue. This time the
local granite cutters only are TO De
allowed to compete and under no circum-
stances must a woman be the croWnins
figure. 1t must be a soldier, sailor or
a marine or an artistic combination OF
all three. That's poz.
Mr. Robert Davis on the day before the
statue was unveiled was asked by
veteran II ne wouldn't be one of COM
mittee to raise subscriptions. He
wouldn't say mo- nor YES" but turn
ing TO DR.. L. ]. Gordon, who stood near
him, said
Doctor, don't care to go on this com
mittee alone; will you be a member OF
it?'
The sly way in which Mr.. Davis said
this to the strongest opponent II the
"kickers,'' convulsed with laughter those
who heard the remark. At any rate Mr..
Davis gave no positive answer. He SAID
he would give the request consideration
and reply in day or two.
..But il we get money enough for new
statue what are we 10 10 with the cid
woman with a coal scuttle on her head
and sitting in rocking chair" asked Mr..
Paddy o'Nsill.
That's dead easy" replied venerable
comrade, "let us get writ OF mandamus
-ain't that what you call ito remove
the statue and melt it down for badges
THAT wont do, added another" .hsaa
other would fight us in the courts and rAe
lawyers would cut up our subscriptions III
fees
The matter then dropped for the yeter-
ans Rights Association to take hold OF.
They will call a meeting for Saturday night
The subject of the monument will not
come up for discussion and the only busl-
ness to be transacted will be the organza-
ton of those who took part in the recent
Cuban revolution.
Major Simmons, who was decidedly OPP
posed to the monument in the begin
ming, now acknowledges that the statue
is symbolic of all that is intended. He
said, however that he would suggest to
the committee that four bronze tablets
be placed on each of the four sides of
the pedestal, bearing a picture of
prominent event in the Civil War, suit
ably inscribed The Major suggested this
change in place of the lettering on the
pedestal He said the change would do
away with any further criticism on the
part of the public. OF General Ramsay,
Major Simmons spoke in the highest
terms.
