Htghfa1utin Reporting.

A local musical critic Of Hagerstown,
Md, wrote thus of a performance of
"1olanthe," which was recently pro-
duced there: "Melodic curves of di-
vine intensity vaulted aioft, mirroring
the perturbations of music's soul and
painting the struggle for subliminal ex-
preston upon the airy fabric of voice
dreams. Ecstatically, yet orderly, the
chorus rang it's accompaniment, dash
ing the serene waves of its cloud cap
ped vision right to the ultimate bars Of
human reach. The audience was sym
pathetic and enrapt, hanging with dra-
matte fervor to the m%eticulous inspira-
ton of the passionate verve of the
sinuous, irresistibly direct and CO.
ordinate harmonies which passed oft
the ivory gates and scored their tri-
umphs in the very heart of music's
capital"

zambezfa. NEGROES or. BICYCLES.

It does seem ridiculous, but on the
authority of a correspondent to q Sails
bury paper the natives from Zembezia
way are returning to their distant and
savage homes on bicycles! To appre-
ciate the full significance Of this state
ment one must realize the thin shank
ed, fiat footed, bundle carrying, nude
native pedaling cross the wild veldt,
with his pump and other necessary
accessories to cycle travelling fastened
around him, with a bundle of mealy
cobs flying from his side, with a Gala
bash OF water over his back, a digger's
belt around his waist and sundry OK
tail ornaments flying from his legs
A single rider would be funny enough,
but a batch Of them would present the
strangCst feature imaginable They ap-
pear to obtain these bicycles cheap too.
Their mode is first to learn to ride,
surreptitiOusly or otherwise, then
when about to return they watch their
opportunity and obtain one while its
owner is absent. In a few days they
are we'll toward the Zambezi, where
the policeman ceases to trouble and
the native is at rest. No wonder the
lions are scared from the main route!

.sFake"

Two years ago a series Of alleged
photographs Of extraordinary feats Of
skill on horseback attracted wide atten-
ton when published. Later it was
shown that these photographs were
clever fakes. In each case the horse
when photographed was standing in a
normal position on the ground, and the
result was obtained by hosting the pic
ture around and taking the sky line.
A similar Photographic fake is work
ing successfully at many Of the seaside
resorts this summer, and the patrons of
1t are young men and women who want
swimming regulations to. which they
are not entitled. For instance, a girl
will stand on a post not two feet above
The photographer produces a picture
In which the post is so high that it
makes one dizzy to look at it. This is
No. 1 Of the set. In the second picture
the girl is represented in the act of
diving from this post into water thirty
or forty feet below. AS a matter of
fact she makes an ordinary dive from
the low post, and the photographer
adds the distance. The two pictures
are proof enough Of skill in high div
ing, for it is generally believed that the
camera does not lie. The photogra-
piers who devised the scheme are reap
ing a rich harvest, but the pictures dc
not pass for their face value at the
swimming beaches.-New York Sun.

Electric Distinction of Cars.

air better than ozone, and now that
most Of the railway companies have
successfully adopted a system by which
each carriage on it's journey develops
by means of a dynamo attached to the
axletrees it's own current of electricity
for lighting purposes there is no reason
why the same current should not be
utilized at the same time to ozonize the
air Of the compartment The quantity
of ozone required is small. The result
would certainly be good, since the
ozone has a remarkably destructive ac-
ton on aerial impurities and unpleas-
Int smells and gives the air a degree OF
freshness similar to that of the sea
breeze.-Lancet.

Privacy at a Discount.

The Londoner of today certainly has
q passion for company, says The
Queen, and the modern Englishman's
Carlton is his castle. We drink our tea
at Claridge's in the midst Of a chatter
ing mob. Having lunched at Princes
with everybody we ever heard of, we
dine perhaps at the Savoy. We sup in
the paradise that lie beyond the palm
court. Only our breakfast is devoured
in privacy, and next season, 1 doubt
not, there will be some smart place in
which we shall be able to eat boiled
eggs to the accompaniment of a purple
Hungarian band.

The Dandy and Kitchener.

Jean Carrere Of the Paris Matin, who
returned recently from South Africa,
relates an encounter Of Lord Kitchener
with a dandy officer who had an unfor-
tunate effeminate taste in trifies. The
young mar came to him day bring
ing a dainty silk handkerchief, upon
which, in accordance with a prevailing
fashionable fad, he desired him to in
scribe his autograph. Lord Kitchener
took the. handkerchief and remarked,
''This is doubtless your sisters hand
kerchief?" NO." replied the dandy,
smiling amiably; sit is NINE" Lord
Kitchener handed it back without writ
ing on it, only inquiring as he did so,
with an air of serious interest, "And

Aspirants for Local Office Arous-
ed by Ferrell's Candidacy.
Woodbury., N. j., September
30.-Former Congressman Thos.
M. Ferrell's candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor has given zest to the polis.
ical situation in this county.
Heretofore Democratic candi-
dates for local Office have been
scarce, but it is just the oppo-
site this year. There are four
names mentioned in connection
with the Assembly nomination,
viz: George B. Hurf, of Sewell
Joseph T. Sickler, Clarksboro;
Mayor Frank Nichols, Clayton;
and Charles B. Platt, West Dept
ford. These all probably feel
they have a better show with
Mr.. Terrell at the head, but if
Mr.. Seymour is nominated they
may feel different. It will be a
harder fight with Nj. Ferrell on
the ticket every Republican
agreed.
