HoFMANN TO PIANO PLAYER.

Do not practice longer than two hours in succession; altogether not more than six hours daily writes Josef Hofmann in The Ladies' Home Journal eor October in telling about Playing the Piano Cor rectly." Beware of overstudying your pieces, and stop when you have been fairly successful a few times with the passages which you have been studying. It is advisable to keep the ears open, rather than the eyes, and always to use the best possible instrument for prac- ticing, SO that you may know whether 1t Is the fault of the instrument or that of the fingers if you miss a tone. In this way the ear will be accustomed to eu- phony and the sense for beauty of sound will be cultivated. Quick passages should repeatedly be played at a slower tempo, slow ones at a quicker tempo-the latter because a tendency to dragging is ere ated by the constant slow playing of pasage Do not waste too much time on finger exercises Tn the long run they will impair the musical nature of the stu dent. You can employ your time much better by selecting technically difficult passages from good compositions and practicing them like etudes. would also advise the student to attend orchestral concerts as frequently as possible. for these are of greater benefit than anything else. Follow no system in practicing. Do not play from nine o'clock until twelve every forenoon. and so on through several years. but play different pieces at diff ferent hours and on different dtys New CT practice until fatigued.''

MOVED POLE TO
 SECURE A RECORD
TRAINER O'Bn.EN ADMITS HAVING MOVED A POLE AT THE LIKING TON TRACK FoRTY-FoUR FEET AND THREE INCHES.

Lexington, November 2.-The investi- gating committee appointed by the Ken lucky Breeders and Trainers at a mass meeting last Monday completed its labor today, and will reports its findings at an- other meeting Monday noon.
 Trainer Dan OBrien, the last witness examined today, told the committee that he was responsible for the moving of the three-eighths pole at the Kentucky asso- ciation track by which the distance to the wire was for one day reduced A feet and three inches. O'Brien was seen after the committee adjourned, and admitted that he had assumed the responsibility but declined to discuss the case. He was trainer of, and with Messrs. Jack and Phil Chinn. held an option on the Wagner Marguerite-Jane colt, which on trial over the short three-eighths showed what was considered the remarkable speed of S6A seconds.
 C. F. Hill, who had come here from New York as representative of Clarence Mackay to see the colt work, returned with an option said to be s1o.OO0 MacKay wanted fast youngster, and this one had been recommended. The option held by O Brien and the Messrs. Chinn secured from the owners of the colt was $25OO. The Messrs. Chinn testified that on the day following the colts trial they learned that the distance was short and that the elder Chinn had wired MT. MacKay, so informing him. Answering telegrams were shown to the committee.

FIND OIL IN AN
 ABANDONED WELL
R. R. FELL ENCOURAGED OVER SUCCESS OF TEST OF WELL IN BLoUNT coUNTY-WILL PIPE OIL INTO BIRMINGHAM.

R. R. Zell, president of the Southern In- dustrial Company, has returned from Reid's Gap, in Blount County. wherc he has been testing an oil and gas well on his company's property at that place.
 Mr. Zell says he has no doubt that both oil and gas will be found in paying quan- titles and he brought with him several bottles of a mixture which was taken from the well at a depth of 1900 feet. The mixture Is composed of water and oil, and Is of dark yellowish color.
 The well was dug twelve years arc by company from Pittsburs, but was stopped up and the prospectors left the country and never returned. The plug in the top of the well was twenty feet long and required considerable force to move it. As 1t was drawn out match was applied to the mouth of the pipe and gas burned with blueish flame. Tests of the water were then made, and it was found to be impregnated with of the water, the oil readily mixed with 1t, and did not come to :hs surface as is usual.
 MT. Zell and his associates will have the water jumped out ana If necessary will bore the well one thousand feet deep CT. He says the pressure Of the water is at least 800 feet to the square inoh. and until this Is removed it will be im- possible for the gas lo escape. When the water has been pumped out a pub lie exhibit will be made
 If the gas is found In sufficient quar- tity to be marketable MT. zell says 1t will be piped int o the city of Birmingham and several more wells will pc bcred. Machjn- cry has already been ordercd with which to do the work.
 '"rhe men who bored the well twelve years ago were unfortunate" said MT. Zell, lone of them having succumbed to an attack of typhoid fever. The remain ing partner took the body of his friend back home and within two weeks sent for all his men to leave the place. Since then the well has remained stopped up no one caring to continue the experi- ments."

THE PAN-AMERICAN
 EXPOSITION ENDS
NOT A FINANCIAL SUCCESS, BUT BENEFITS FROM IT WILL BE OF VALUE TO COMMERCIAL INTER. ESTS.

Buffalo, N. r., November 2-The Pan- American Exposition ended at 12 o'clock tonight, when President Milburn pressed an electric button and the lights in the famous electric tower grew dim for the last time The exposition has not been financial success, but 1t Is believed the benefits derived from 1t will be of great value to the commercial interests of the country The financial loss will be in the neighborhood of $S,OOO.OO0. The loss will fall upon the holders of the common stock, the holders of second mortgage bonds and the contractors who erected the buildings.
 The total number of admissions for the six months was close to S000,000. An av- craze of 100000 a month had been figured on by exposition officials. The great snow storm of last April was a severe blow to the exposition. The killing of President Mckinley was another blow to the ex- position. The attendance had been in creasing steadily up to the date of the assassination, but the gates were closed for two days, and when they were re- opened there was a drop of 12 per cent in the attendance. and no improvement followed.

JOY AND SORROW
 MINGLE IN LONDON
UTILIZATION OVER SAFE ARRIVAL OF HEIR APPARENT TEMPERED BY NEWS OF THE DISASTER IN SOUTH AFRICA.

London, November 2-The cheers that greeted the Duke and Duchess of Corn wall and York as they passed on their return from their world tour through the crowded streets of London were in termingled with the shrill cries of news boys shouting, "Terrible disaster in South Africa"
 Beneath the jubilation on the safe ar- rival of the heir apparent, there existed a keen undercurrent of grief and anger over the defeat of Colonel Benson's col umn. Of the thousands who lined the route from Victoria station to Marlbor- ough house. many were personages con- cerned in the 2Ss British casualties in- cured in this latest reverse, and while the Duke and Duchess were welcomed back with great heartiness the crowds could not shut their eyes to the mocking contrast between the pageant and the serious news of the morning.
 The roytl train arrived at Victoria rail- road station at 1256 D. m. Immense crowds of people gathered there to well come the royal party.
 There were 1000 troops on duty. At Victoria station the colonial agents pre- scented an address to the Duke of Corn wall and York, who replied in much the same terms as he used early in the day at Portsmouth.
 The agents of the colonies also pre- scented an address to the king who handed them a written reply which was as follows:
 q thank you for your loyal and dutiful address on the return of my beloved son and daughter r-in-law from their visit to portions of my realm. of which you are the representatives. It was not without natural anxiety and hesitation that I sanctioned the departure of the heir ap- parent to my throne on voyage which involved many months of separation, but it was my earnest desire to give effect to the wishes of my late revered mother and to the aspirations of my loyal sub jects in the colonies of whose devotion and patriotism I have received such sig nal proof in the splendid service they have rendered to the Empire in South Africa, and am fully repaid by the com plete success which attended the visit and by the manifestations of devotion and loyalty which the presence of the Duke and Duchess everywhere evoked.
