ORIGIN OF RAG TIME.
One Ben Harvey Said TO Have Invented
1t and Its Name at louisville.


| lt and Its Name at louisville.
1.-THE approaching end of rag time
suggests the true story of the origin OF
the NAME" said music publisher. ut
has never been printed. About ten
years ago a young fellow named Ben
Harvey went to a party given by color
ed folks in suburb of Louisville.
While he was there two darkies, who
We're experts on the banjo, began play
ing.
while they were playing Harvey no.
ticed that the rhythm produced by the
two banjos was peculiar, but very
catchy. So after az while, when called
upon to play something, Harvey ran
his fingers carelessly over the keys of
the piano and tried to initiate the time
made by the two banjos.
AT first he failed, but before the
night had passed he had acquired the
time and kept the crowd entertained
with snatches from popular songs play
ed in this fashion. One of the darkies
who had performed on the banjo be-
came suddenly interested in Harney's
playing. Approaching Harvey he in
quired:
Marsa Ben, wha' am yo' playin'
dar? Dat am de funniest kin oh tune
Use ebber heerd.'
/ don't know what 1t is myself"
replied Harvey, in an offhand way. L
suppose If | had dress suit on like
some of these actors at the show, |
might give it 81 nice, fashionable name.
But as it is | can't think of any name
in these rags and you will have to let
it go at that
THE darkey sized Harvey from head
to foot. Harney's clothes were neat
and fitted him well. The negro
thought the argument a poor one and
said:
What's the diffrunce wha' kim OBJ
rags yo' plays in, Marsa Ben? Yo' kin
allus git er name fo' it. Use tells yer
Marsa Ben, dat All ain very much in
lobe wild dat tune"
About a week later there was an
other party in the neighborhood. Har-
ney was present and had to play. The
two banjo players were also there and
they thumped away together, playing
all sorts of tunes. The same darkey
who week previous wanted to know
the name of the measure Ben was play
Ing abruptly arose and, turning to the
guests with a merry laugh, said:
Ladies an ge'man. Marsa Ben
Harvey has got some OBJ de most pc
culiarist kin OBJ music dat | eber heerd
afo'. All Use begs yo' kin 'dulgencn
So tie tune, out II am de lobliest Use
ebber heerd.'
ben thought the remark very funny
and replied: What do you mean, Jas
per? That music l played in those
rags last week?
ayes returned Jasper enthusiastic
ally. dat "rag-time" music
"Well, after that rag-time became the
real thing in the town, and when Har-
ney came east he introduced it in New
York, and 1t soon was the rage all over
the country. And the name rag time
has clung to it ever since.'-New York

Hardships TO Come to America.

Johan Beck, Of Austria, Endures Great
Hardships to Come to America.
New York, Dec. 4.-The man who was
discovered in the hold of the Hamburg
American steamer Palatia yesterday,
after having made the trip across the
ocean in a box, had recovered sufficient
~ to be able to establish his identity
positively. He said his name was Johan
Beck and that he had lived up to about
year ago in Buda-Pesth, Hungary.
The doctors would not allow him to tell
all his story, but enough was learned
from him and other sources to show
that Beck was house painter and that
he had come across the card of an up
town hotel in this city, the proprieors
of which have German names. Tho a
stranger to them, he wrote that he could
get no work in Germany and was COM
ing to America and hoped the hotel men
could find him something to do.
Then he fitted up package case, paid
freight charges on 1t and engaged a car
ter to take 1t to the Hamburg pier at a
certain time. He then returned to his
lodgings and boxed himself up, after he
had provisioned himself with dozen
cans Of condensed milk. box OF
prunes, three dozen cakes of chocolate,
coffee in bottles and some bread. The
carter called and got the box, not know
ing of it's living contents, and shipped 1t.
Beck declares he was In the box until
the ship reached the Hoboken pier. a
period Of about fifteen days. when he
found he was almost dead from hunger,
cold and terror. -

THE LIVESTOCK REVIEW.
Cattle and Hog Prices Higher Today
in Snite Of LARGE SUPPLIES.

Cattle and Hog Prices Higher Today
in Spite Of Large Supplies.
Chicago, Dec. 4.-Cattle-For the first
half of the week the receipts amounted
to about 1880 against 10000 the same
time last week. The market hss< been
active and higher for desirable cattle all
week and even mixed grades have been
selling about 10 cents higher than the
close last week. Today with estimated
receipts of 10000 trade was active a,
stronger prices and choice were fully
10 to % higher.
Hogs-Late arrivals swelled yester-
days receipts to 65,s77 and arrivals to-
day were expected to reach $4,000, max
ing total receipts of 176,700 for the first
half of the week, compared with 49,, 599
the same time last week. There has
been a lively demand all week, local
packers wanting all the hogs they could
get hold of and despite the enormous
supplies. only moderate decline in
prices occurred. Today with an esti-
mated run Of $4,000 there was such a
strong demand that prices ruled strong
err from the start and good droves were
selling about cents higher on the av-
erage.
Sheep-Supplies continue exceeding
liberal and arrivals today will be about
$4,000 bringing the receipts for the first
the same time last week. There was a
very good general demand this morning
and prices were about steady.

Law.on's Heavy Losses.

Chicago. Dec. A Boston special
to the Tribune says:
The squeeze in copper has cost
Thomas w. Larson $12.000,000. This
statement is based on his own adj
missions.
To Boston financiers Mr.. Larson's
position Is puzzle. AS friend, he is
frank and open as the air; as a spec
ulator he is usually as silent and mys-
FERROUS as the pink. even to his in
Inmates.
There has been an apparently well
founded belief the last week that Law
son had disposed Of his holdings OF
242,0 geo shares of Amalgamated and that
he was now on the right side OF the
market. These mental speculations
were Jared when Mr.. Lawson ISSUED
an open letter, in which he said We
.hemently that he had not disposed of
his stock, and, further, that no mortal
man could get it, even II it went to 81
a share.
So, taking Mr.. Lawson's statement
that he holds 242.00O shares of Amalga-
mated and that his losses when the
stock sold at sS were $7.000.o00, 1t would
seem that he has suffered further
shrinkage Of $3,S727, 900, or total OF
nearly s12.O00.000 in one stock.
