Taxing Musical Instruments,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Why should instruments of a musician
not be classified as tools or machinery for
purposes of personal property taxation? The
product of musical instrument, sound, can
not be utilized or sold, a musical instru-
ment does not create or manufacture any
thing tangible. such as is done by tools and
machinery. If the musical instrument is
taxed, the voice must be taxed also. What
library is to the student the instrument
is to the player, for it must be constantly
used for study by the player In order to
obtain and preserve artistic playing. This
is not the case with machinery or mechan-
icaI tools AS for teaching a pupil uses
and learns on his own instrument except
In the case of the piano. where Instructions
are given at the teachers studio Instru-
ments OF musicians should, therefore, be ex
empt from taxes. HENRY JAEGER.

HARTFORD'S CREW IN A FIGHT
Lively scrimmage With Natives
Ashore at Port of Spain.

A New York dispatch says: The United
States training ship Hartford arrived at
the Brooklyn navy yard on Monday after a
cruise in West Indian waters. Among the
large class Of apprentices were several
young men who bore with some slight
show of pride the scars of their first battle,
which was fought at Port Of Spain, Trini-
dad, on March Is. On that date $50 appren-
tlces OF the Hartford's port watch went
ashore on leave, and were with fifty men
from the battle ship Indiana and fifty from
the battle ship Massachusetts, which were
lying IN the same haEbor. fC

REMARKABLE ESCAPE.
Peculiar Accident h which a Work
man Wa4 Ini&ted.

The freight elevatoE accident in the base
ment of The Star building, which resulted
in colored laborerThavigg his knee cap
fractured, was vary PECULIAR one and
might easily have had much more serious
consequences, the escape from death being
almost a miracle. The elevator is used for
lifting the large rolfs of paper from the
basement to the press, room and the car is
simply a platform Khich Is run up and
down the shaft. The elevator was started
up with two unusually large rolls of paner
and the colored man on board. When, near
the top the rolls of paper in some unac-
countable manner became jammed and
pinned the porter against the side of the
shaft. He cried for help and instinctiyely
pulled the rope which reversed the elevator
and it began to descend slowly, leaving the
rolls and man suspended in the shaft form
ing a sort of arch.
One of the preSSmen answered the crv
for help. and, supposing, of course, that
the heavy rolls rested on the elevator he
jumped over them and landed on the de-
scendng elevator latform six or eight feet
below. A second employe not seeing the
first man jump, also responded to the cry
for help and with bar in his hand Jumped
on the paper and began to PRIV the roofs
apart, he too, supposing that they rested
on the elevator. The man on the
elevator, which was then creenin o
downward, thought that his time had come
but fortunately the bar slipped at the first
eHort 10 dlslodge the paper, and before it
could be brought into use a second time
the elevator has reached the opening in the
basement and it's sole passenger soueezed
out as soon as daylight began to appear He
had scarcely picked himself up when the
big rolls of paper with the other two mon

he was jammed by the heavy rolls.

EARLY COMPLETION ASSURED
Electric Cars to Run Between Wash.
ington and Raurel in Six Weeks.

Mr.. James Chrlsty, Jr, vice president of
the Washington, Baltimore and ANNAPOLIS
Electric Railway Company, and the prin-
cipal factor in its promotion and construc-
ton, told an Evening Star reporter this
afternoon that cars between Washington
and Laurel, Nd, would be running before
October l.
The lire win connect with the City and
Suburban railroad and cars will be operated
every hour to and from Laurel up to mid
night. AS announced several days ago. the
power house Will be located at Hyattsville.
OF late there has been more or less incon-
venience in getting steel rails, but this OBJ
stacle has been overcome.
The placing of a bond issue of $1,000 900
between the Washington, Baltimore and
Annapolis Electric Railway Company and
the Federal Trust Company for the loan of
the money was placed on file Yesterday in
the office of the recorder of deeds for the
District.
This means that the main line from the
District line to the city Of Baltimore and
the branch line from Odenton to ANNAPOLIS
will be completed and in operation by Sep
tember, 1903. On the main line much work
in the way of grading, putting in culverts
and building abutments has already been

TRADE WITH ABYSSINIA.
Prospects Open Only in Cottons and
Petroleum.

Consul General Skinner at Marseilles,
State Department:
Through private sources of information
1 learn that business depression exists
| in Abyssinia owing to accumulation of
stocks. There seems to be no immediate
prospect of the sale of American goods IN
that empire other than cottons, locally
known as aboudjedides,' and petroleum.
LAS far as trade in Abyssnia proper is
concerned, there will be no competition for
the next five years, the house of Livi-
erato Freres of Marseiles and New York
has purchased the exclusive right to i'm
port cottonS at the annual rate of 220.G;D
Maria Theresa thalers about S103,000,
plus the duty of per cent, based upon the
selling values in the country of Importation.
During the same period the same concern
has exclusive control of the return COM
merce in goat and sheepskins, paying for
the same tribute of S4 600 thalers (S59, 4S0)
per annum.
My in formant who writes under date of
June 16, says that this latter concession is
deemed poor one a. the price.
The trade in petroleum is relatively un-
important, and is in the hands of natives
who buy their supplies at Alden.
LAS respects cottons, the mark of the
camel is still the most highly esteemed in
the Red sea country.
THE sale Of these cottons is In the
hands of Benigha- -Mendheim, at Alden. Lii
Verato FrereS nave number or marks, the
favorite being the lion and head of Meme
lik.
These and other trade details are care
fully studied by German exporting houses
who have their own German representatives
| among the natives, more particularly on
the Asiatic side, and who aim by patient
watchfulness to take a hand in trade when
ever circumstances are favorable.
THE American policy is to do all the SELL
ing that is to be done in New York-a pol
icy that cannot be said to have been fall
| ure, certainly. OF course, the foreign
houses have the advantage of being able to
obtain cheap labor of intelligent sort.
Methodical office workers can be had in un-
limited numbers at from lbs to 250 francs
G24. to $4S25) per month, the latter figure
being decidedly above the average.
consequently, offers to take jobs in Asia
and Africa at rather higher wages are
readily taken. The Germans have spe-
cial aptitude for extending their CONNER
cial propaganda, always speaking the ma
tive dialect and often wearing the native
garment"

Encampment Music.
itor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The subject of the character of music for
the coming encampment should not be
treated lightly Eliminate sentiment from
any considerable gathering of the veterans
of the war of the rebellion the chief cause
of assembling disappears The old songs
and tunes that had their origin IN war days
are precious to the old soldier and his
friends, and to suggest that "Therell Be a II OF
Time in the Old Town Tonight shall sup
plant Who Will Care for Mother Now?"
approaches very nearly sacrilege. Ragtime
music has its uses, perhaps, but the official
music for Grand Army encampment
should rot be tainted with it, and it Is be-
iieved that the committee will take this
view of the matter, not permitting such al
legged music to be played at any of the
public functions. There are plenty of airs
that viii be appropriate without going out
side of a strictly patriotic repertoire.
Let us have that wild and grand music
of war the drums and flies, mixed with
the dear old tunes that will force thoughts
of the old days to those who saved the
Union from destruction, and as they march
down the historic avenue, let no music be
played that will be inappropriate to the
time when they went away to do for hu-
manity. What memories will come to these
heroes as they haltingly step along the
same route that many of them traversed
thlrty-seyen years ago last May, And as
they march in the shadows of life that are
lengthening into the deeper twilight, let
their labored steps be accelerated by the
old-time melodies, music that may add to
the pathos of the situation, but still in
ordlnately dear to these princes of the
earth, for it was.
They left their youth behind them
In the tempest of years agone,
When sweet out of wars rough cradle
Slipped peace in the breaking dawn
