Music Writing Made Easy.


Mile. Sale was in the eighteenth
century the most accomplished and
fascinating balleteuse at the famous
French Opera. In addition to her other
qualifications, she played and sang
with extraordinary artistic skill and
depth of expression. She once confid
ed to Rameau, the noted musician,
that her ardent wish was to be able to
compose /and asked him to give her a
few LESSONS in the art. Nothing cas-
ier i'll the world" Rameau CALAMITY re-
piled. He handed her a sheet of pa
per ruled for music and asked her to
take her valuable breastpin and prick
holes in the lines wherever she thought
proper.
After the lady had completed her
task Rameau took the sheet of paper,
turned each puncture into a note, de-
termined it's length, selected a suitable
key, and the thing was done. This re-
markable composition turned out a
lively piece of dance music, which was
afterward entitled LES Sauvages Dams
les Indies Galantes" and was popular
in France for great number of years.

First ANALYSIS of AeroIites,

In 1896 stone weighing tiftysiX
pounds was exhibited in London. 1t
was said to have fallen from the sky
in Yorkshire in the previous December,
but this statement was received with
great incredulity. At that time Sir Jo-
seph Banks was president of the Royal
society, and he noticed strong re
semhlance between the Yorkshire stone
and one sent to him from Siena, in 1t
ally, (which was said to have fallen
from the sky. Two or three years lat
er he received an account of a fall of
stones near Benares, in Hindustan. A
chemical analysis of the stones from
all three sources proved them to be
identical in composition, and increduli-
ty as to their meteoric origin began
to give way.-Notes and Queries.

Eccentricitfes of English.

There is new maid in the family,
a Swedish girl, who has many things
besides language to learn, says an eX-
change. Her new mistress, who is Il
years her senior, is trying to instruct
her. One of the lessons was upon
bread, the girl being told that she
should speak of bread which had lost
its freshness as stale, and not old, The
girl was sure to remember this. for
she was quick to learn. and sBe did.
So the young wife knew when a few
days later the maid remarked to her
confidentially:

husband is so much more stale than

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.

Governor Stone, OF Pennsylvania, is
quoted as saying that in his opinion a
special session of the legislature will
cost no more than the present military
establishment, organized to keep down
the strikers; and that as all attempts
TO get the airing parties together on a
platform of voluntary Cancellation and
arbitration have failed, the only remedy
is Legislature enactment for compul.
sorry arbitration.
Mass meetings are being held by citi.
zens of all classes in Philadelphia and
other points of the State, at which re-
solutions are being adopted favoring the
compulsory arbitration idea. President

BRING OUT MURPHY.

The Arizona Republicans are suffer-
ing for the contumacy OF their brethren
in Congress. knowing that the people
Of this Territory owe the Republicans
sound drubbing, no member OF the
party feels disposed to accept nomina'
tion for Delegate to Congress. The
Phoenix Gazette, the 'oldest morning
paper in Phoenix" and an organ of ro-
bust partisanship, utters this plalntlve
wall:
The fact that William F. Cooper OF
Pima county has refused to become
candidate for Delegate to Congress be-
fore the Republican convention does not
necessarily mean that the Republican
party 10 without a man who will cham
pion its cause or lead it to victory. Sew
eral names have been mentioned IN TINS
connection, but each one is just patrl-
otic enough to leave the choice OF
standard bearer to the people them
selves. Mr.. Cooper is a strong man,
and has an excellent record back OF him,
and just why he refuses to stand TOR
the nomination. or to even accept It.,
are reasons Mr.. Cooper has not made
public.
The reasons Mr.. Cooper does not de-
sire to accept the nomination are pialn
and simple. There is no chance OF
electing a.. Republican, and whoever is
made the candidate will have to explain
on the stump why Speaker Henderson
and all the Republican leaders in the
House of Representatives antagonlzeo
the admission OF Arizona to the Union.
He must also tell why every Republican
on the Senate Committee on Territories,
with the exception of Quay, is opposed
TO Statehood for Arizona. 1t will be
difficult for an Arizona Republican to
explain these things, and while he Is
doing it the people will not be over sen"
sitive regarding his feelings.
The Republicans of Tucson are not as
dense as the Phoenix regency seems to
think. When there is pie to be served
the Tucson Republicans will respond to
the bugle without second blow, but
they have no%desire to engage in a
scramble for a polished bone. The
Phoenix folk would not be trying to
force the nomination on a Tucson man
if there were any chance of electing
him. The volunteer system will not do
for the Republicans this year they must
resort to the draft.
When there was anything good in
sight N. 0. Murphy was always well to
the front to claim it. This is good
year for the Republicans to draft Mur-
ply. They will sprobably have TO COM
pei some one to take the nomination for
Congress in order to keep up appear.

wade Hnmpton,s Slaves.

1t is related of General Wade Hamp-
ton that on one occasion he was rid
ing along a highway that led through
one of his numerous southern planta
tions when he met slave of fine build
and appearance. He drew rein and
said: You are a likely fellow. Who do
you belong to-? Wade Hampton, sir"
"Ah! And who is Wade Hampton?'
please, sir, master, you mus be from
de norf, 'kase Mas Wade Hampton is
de berry fust gemmun in de souf."
The story used to be told to illustrate
the greatness in numbers of Wade
Hampton's slaves. His own slaves did
not know him by sight-that is, hun
dreds and thousands of them did not.
The slaves he owned numbered 1900,
and he was therefore the largest slave
owner of the south or of modern times.

ELECTION PRECEDENTS.

The theory put forward by some of
the political philosophers that it will
be an advantage to the party which is
beaten in the congressional elections
this fall is novel one. 1t is based ap-
parently on the belief that whichever
party has control of the House of Rep
resentatives just preceding the Presi-
Dental election will so disgust the peo-
pie that they will defeat that party at
the first opportunity. 1t is not fiat
ering admission for a party man to
make, and it is new theory that it
helps a political party to be beaten.
Heretofore it has been considered that
the prestige of success is worth great
many votes. Men like to be on the
winning side and whoop with the ma
jority the day after the election. If
there is foreordained defeat, portion
OF the party will stay at home on cleo
ton day, and many of the so.called
floating voters" will 60 with the party
considered most likely to win. This Is
the common experience in elections,
and the fact is so well known that no
party committee, whatever the private
belief of the members may be, will
ever admit the possibility of defeat.
The common practice is to claim every
thing.
In 1874, at the off year election, the
Democratic party elected majority of
the House of representatives. for the
first time after the civil war. Two years
later the Democrats carried the country
for Tllden by great popular majority.
In the Forty-eighth Congress, elected in
1882, the Democrats had "a more mem
bers of the House than the Republicans,
and two years later they elected Cleve-
land President. In the Fifty-secoud
Congress, elected in 1890, there were in
the House 236 Democrats and 81 Repub-
licans. Two years after this election, in
1892, the Democrats were again success
full at the Presidential election. Thus it
will be seen that in three instances
within quarter of century the Dem
ocrats have carried the Presidential
elections after winning the preceding off
year elections.
The Republican record has been some
what different, as that party carried the
election in 1880 after having lost the
House in 1873. Again they elected the
President in 1888 after having lost the
House in 1886. But in the off.year of
1894, the Republican party had ma.
jority over the Democrats in the House
of nearly $50, and two years later elected
Mckinley. Again in 1898 the Republic
ans carried the House and two years
later elected the President.
There is, therefore, nothing in the
history of the parties which bears out
the theory that it promotes success at a
Presidential election to be defeated at
the preceding Congressional election.

PURPOSE OF THE CRUSADE
PROSECUTOR FOLK IS AFTER BIG
GAME AT ST. LOUIS.
He Says Directors of Corporations
Who Are Guilty of Bribery Will Be
Dressed in Prison Stripes.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Sept. 13.-The develop
ments in the Doodle investigation were
without special interest to-day. Two ses-
sions of the grand jury were held, the wit
nesses examined being the same who had
been before the body during the past few
days. While no additional bench warrants
have been issued since Tuesday at the in
stance of the grand jury, Circuit Attorney
Folk feels satisfied with the progress made
thus far in the inquiry.
The work before the grand jury to-day
was put back somewhat by the prepara-
tons of the circuit attorneys office for
the habeau corpus proceedings before the
Supreme Court next Monday. To prevent
the possible release on writ Of habeas
corpus of the five prisoners now under
arrest on the charge of bribery and per-

1t had been expected all day that Dele

himself to the circuit attorney, but he
failed to appear, and none OF the sheriff s
deputies or the police force was able to
find him. The refusal of Adolph Wallner,
who had promised to go on his bond, to
become surety finally for Kelly was the
reason for his non-appearance.
Circuit Attorney Folk, in an interview
tonight, said of certain phase of the
investigation in which he is engaged: IT

crusade that the directors of wealthy cor
porations, who devote large sums of
money to buy legislation, will realize that
