THE SOUND OF A PIANO.
Seeming Defects That May Be Often
Due to Exterior Causes.

Seeming Defects That May Be Often
Due to Exterior Causes.
"A piano." said a deaaer, will some
times develop or seem to develop
flaw in some one note, which comes to
have q rattle or Jingle or unpleasa. t
burr to it, but this jarring sound which
seems to come from the piano may in
reality come from some source quite
outside Of it.
ANY given note when struck pro-
duces certain number Of vibrations to
the second. There may be in the room
some object that is in tone sympathy
with some particular note, and that
will be set in motion by it when that
note is sounded.
"The owner of fine piano sent to US
one day to say that there was some
thing wrong about certain note Of
the instrument, so that that note had
an unpleasant sound when struck.
When l heard the note sounded, knew
at once that the disagreeable rough
ness or buzz about it was due not to
any defect in the piano, but to some
thing somewhere about in the room,
and, asking the lady to strike that note
occa sionally, walked around the room
to see If could locate it.
Passing across the middle Of the
room as that note was struck, the
cause Of the jarring accompaniment Of
it was discovered to come from the vi
bration Of one Of the glass globes on
the chandelier overhead.
1.-The owner Of the piano was almost
incredulous as to this, the sound had
seemed so plainly to come from the
piano itself. But when ut my request
she stood under the chandelier and
struck the note she was readily con-
vinced.
II made that globe lmmovable and
then struck the note on the piano. The
answer was clear and sweet and true.
$50, you see, the sound ct the piano
may for one thing depend much upon
its surroundings, and what may seem
to be defect In piano may be in re-
ality attributable to something quite
apart from the piano itself.
land thus 1t might easily be that
some noble instrument that had seem
ed to be declining or to be developing
faults owed its apparent change to
change of environment or to some spe-
cific outside cause and was in reality
as good as ever, as would happily be
discovered whenever the instrument
was again brought under favorable
conditions" ."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

HartzOg against C.. F. s.

The Hartzog base ball team went up
against that of the Fitting School last
Saturday afternoon on the G. F. S. cam
pus. We arrived at Bamberg about noon
and learned that we were expected to
wipe the c. F. s. boys out, but this was
not our talk, for we were there to get
what they called "wiping up" The G..
F. s. boys are afriendly and gentlemanly
crowd, and all of our boys were invited to
the hall to take dinner with them. When
dinner was over the G. F. S. boys were
ready for the game which the HartzOg
boys hurried to. We are sorry that our
boys had never played in their positions
and could not give these giants" better
game, then we are glad that We were able
to do as we'll as We did, for we doubted if
Hartzog would make score when we
saw the G. F. S. boys. This is the best
practice that we have had this year, and
wish the c. F. s. boys and all others that
will to come to our grounds on the seven
teenth and see if G. FS can send the ball
under the house or over the fence there.
They treated US with best respects before
andafter the game, and while the gamewas
going on there wasn't any thing to excite
the players. Yes, we have been to G. F.
s. if they did put it on us thirty to five,
and we are willing to tote more or less
just what they can put on US the next
time Come all on the seventeenth and We
will treat you right.
Rough! tough! Hartzog is the stuff,
Plays base ball and never gets enough
Hush, hear c. F. 8. say
They can put it on us any day.

rlav Practice Law in Washington.

A dispatch from Washington to the
daily papers says:
No surprise was felt here at Senator
McLaurin's admission that he will not be
in the race for the senate this summer.
. 1t has been known for some time that
he would not submit to taking primary
pledge and the announcement of his
withdrawal has been expected, especially
since Senator Tillman's speech at Man
ming. Members of the South Carolina dele
cation declare it is McLaurin's last state
ment before he casts aside his democracy
disguise to emerge full fiedged republi-
can.
Senator Tillman's only comment was
II knew it a year ago."
Senator McLaurin refuses to discuss
his plans for the future. There is no
authority for the frequent reports that he
is to be given an Office by President
Roosevelt. 1t is probable that he will
continue the practice of law in this city
where he already has an office.

FfshfnG Through Street Gratings.

Fishing Through Street Grat1nSs-
In Winchester, England, it Is quite a
common thing to see men fishing
through the street gratings. Under the
High street there flow several streams
which ultimately discharge into the
river Itchen, a noted trout stream.
These streams receive the storm and
surface water from the street by means
of the ordinary street grating. The line
is dropped through and fastened to the
end Of a stick small enough to go
through the crate. When the fish is
hooked, the line and stick are dropped
through the grating, and the fisherman
rushes to the point where the stream
emerges from under the street and Is
there able to recover his line and land
his fish.

TREED BY SHARKS.

New Orleans, Aug. 21. The tug
Pennoyer has brought into Biloxi a
Norwegian named Oscar, who was re-
cued from the wreck of boat used to
carry passengers from Biloxi to Ship
Island. The captain of the Pennoyer
sighted man clinging desperately to
the top of the mast of sunken vessel
and shrieking for assistance. 1t was
Oscar. He had been clinglng to the
masthead for a day and was exhaust
ed. When the boat sank the mast
head was several feet out of water.
Being an expert swimmer, Oscar was
preparing to swim to the shore when
he saw that a school of sharks had
gathered around and were apparently
waiting for him. He declares that
there were at least hundred of them
and that they jumped out of the
water trying to reach him, The cap
tam of the Pennoyer says there were
several sharks around the wreck when
he reached it.

GREEN GOODS TRUST.

New York, Aug 22.-The post
office inspectors have in custody six
prisoners, one of them woman, who,
they say, are connected with one of
the two syndioates of green goods
dealers that have been operating
throughout the United States during
the past year or more. Four of the
prisoners were arrested in Newark
yesterday and two were nabbed last
night in this city. Besides taking in
the prisoners, the post Office inspect
ors also have in custody one of the
intended victinms. They say the
green goods men succeeded in getting
about $500 out of him, for which they
gave him box of green paper. The
inspectors will not prosecute the
victim, as he has agreed to appear as
witness.
The inspectors regard these as
among the most important arrests
ever made. Inspector Cortelyou, who
was prominent in making discoveries
and bringing the affair to a culumina-
ton, is brother Of the Presidents
secretary.

MONTPELIER SEMINARY.

Principal Davenport yesterday re-
ceived a telegram from Miss Lucy G..
Chaplin of Syracuse accepting the posi-
ton of preceptress and teacher of art
at Montpelier Seminary. a survey of
Miss Chapin's previous work shows
that she has unusual fitness for the
position accepted. Graduating fourth
in a class of seventy eight at the
Syracuse high school she entered the
John Grouse College of Fine Arts at
Syracuse University, and passed out
of the University four years later at
the head of her class, receiving not
only the degree of bachelor of paint
ing, but also the Hiram Gee fellow
ship, which provided funds for year
of study abroad. This year she spent
in Paris in the study of painting and
kindred branches of art. The same
diligence which brought her to the
front in her preparation for the Uni
versity and residence therein was
employed during this post graduate
work under the tuition of the great
masters of the city whose people
worship the beautiful. While in Paris
she painted two copies of the old
masters which were pronounced by
Chancellor Day to be the finest work
ever done by graduate of the Uni
versity.
For the past three years Miss Chap
in has been the director of the art de-
partment of the Seminary at Kent S
Hill, Maine, where her work gave
such universal satisfaction that she
was reelected for the fourth year.
But she preferred a position else
where, and the friends of our school
in general, and in art in particular,
may congratulate themselves that she
is to devote her time and talents to
this work at the Seminary for the en-
suing school year.
Miss Chaplin has strong and attrac-
tive personality, is cultured and re-
fined, has a sterling Christian charac-
ter, and does her work not only from
lofty conception of duty, but also
with the spirit of love and enthusi-
asm. To the work of discipline she
is no stranger and may be relied upon
to use tact and discretion.

MIMIC WAR.

Washington, Aug. 2l-General
opinion here pronounces the chances
to be decidedly against an enemy in
the naval mimic war. The conditions
of the contest make only a few hor-
bors on the coast possible to Admiral
Pillsbury, and those are guarded by
signal men who should be within a
short time of arrival notify the de-
Tending squadron.
Rockport, Aug. 21.-Up to three
O'Clock this afternoon nothing had
been seen or heard of Pillsbury's hos
tile squadron. Officers from the de-
Tending squadron are stationed at all
the important points along the coast
from Portland to Cape Cod, who are
keeping in touch with the central
naval station here, reporting by tele-
graph or telephone all movements of
the vessels under Admiral Higgingson.
They are assisted by signal men as
we'll as by lighthouse keepers and
life savers, so it would seem to be an
impossible task for Pillsbury to get
into harbor anywhere without it
being possible for Higginson to dis
cover him within six hours. The de-
Tending squadron today was stationed
about as yesterday, except that the
number of vessels and boats moving
about in small circles Dispatch
boats are busy carrying dispatches.
Weather unpropitious for Pillsbury,
but good for Higglnson, being clear
for most part.
