In Harper's, w. L. Alden says that
the Cremonese dislike vi0lins, and tells
amusingly of his search for a violin in
Cremona:
Being in Cremona, l naturally went
in search of violins. | had a vague idea
that | might pick up a Stradlvarius, an
Amati, Guarnerius and perhaps other
treasure of the kind, for next to nothing,
like those fabulous persons who are said
to pick up invaluable furniture and price
less old books for q mere music hail

able vioins. but. what was still stranger.
did not see or hear 4 single violin the
whole time | was in Cremona. In every
Italian city there are dozens of shops de-
voted to the sale of musical instruments
of all sorts. and, among these, viOlinS Of
all sizes and conditions. from the youn :
soprano violin to the venerable and equity
contra bass. are exposed in the windows.
In Cremona, however, there is not q
violin to be sold, and | am persuaded
that there is not one in the possession
of a single CremOneSe. At first | could
not understand this mystery. Neither
could | understand why no one to whom
l spoke seemed to take the slightest in
terest in the great violin makers of the
town. Baedeker asserts that the house
of Antonio Stradiyarius is still to be
seen, and | went in search of it.
found only a vacant lot where the house
had stood, and | was informed by a
policeman, who looked at me sternly and
with evident suspicion. that the house of
Stradivarius had been torn down. |
asked him why so valuable a relic had
been destroyed and he replied ~ Sugr
costing that if / would accompany him
to the headquarters of the police. | might
possibly receive an answer to my QueS-
ton. | left him more in anger than in
sorrow, and asked no more questions of
the Cremona police. From what l
afterwards learned in conversation with
several of the leading pOrters and street
sweepers of the place, | came to the con-
clusion that the people of Cremona had
for so many weary years been asked by
strangers concerning the Cremona yio-
Inns and their makers that in n fit of
iustifiable rage they had resolved that
the entire subject of viohns should be
ignored both by themselves and the
strangers who might venture within their
gates. | cannot say that | blame them.
Their town has picturesque architecture,
a school of art of its own, and n history
that it has a right to be proud Of but
the stranger never thinks these things
worthy of notice, and cOnceiyes Of Gre

CAN'T MATCH OUR ENGINES.
Russia Has to Condemn Twenty-four
New Ones Made at Home.

Russia is finding out that it is cheaper
and more practical to import American
locomotives than to manufacture her
own. Iwenty-four new locomotives
built at the Charkoff works for the Cen
trail Russian railway have been con-
demned as practically useless, and the
government railways advisory board has
recommended return to the practice of
purchasing locomotives abroad, as was
always done until recently.
The contract for the Charkoff locomo-
tives called for a speed limit of fifty
miles an hour. The most that the en-
gines turned out could do was eighteen
miles.
The imported American locomotives, on
the other hand, have never failed to full
I'll the speed requirements, and the Bald
win Locomotive Works alone has
shipped 419 engines to Russia, including
all types.-NeW York Sun.

SONG OF TWO.

We thought when Love at last should
come,
TIE rose would lose its thorn.
And every lip but joys be dumb
When Love, sweet Love, was born;
That never tears should start TO rise,
No night o'ertake our morn,
Nor any guest of grief surprise,
when Love, sweet Love, was born.
And when he came. o Heart Of mine
And stood without our door.
No Joy our dreaming could divine
Was missing from his store.
The thorns shall wound our hearts again
But not the fear of yore,
Fer all the guests of grief and pain
Shall scrye him evermOrc.

TO PENSION Ex-PREsIDgNTs.

REPRESENTATIVE LOWERING Of
- Massachusetts has introduced a
dill providing for pensions of s25, 900
annually to ex-presidents Of the United
States. 1t is hardly likely that the bill
viii pass. and it should not pass. Pen
sions should not be given to people
who do not need them. Presidents of
the United States, almost without ex-
ception, have been comparatively rich
men Mckinley was not wealthy, as
wealth is counted now, and neither was
Garfield, nor Grant. nor Lincoln.
All Of them were at least in comfort
able circumstances, however; all pos
sessed what many would call consider
able money. Today there is only one
living ex-president, Mr.. Cleveland. He
certainly needs no pension. President
Roosevelt's circumstances are certain
" more than comfortable without his
salary and it is not likely that he will
go out OF office poorer than when he
went it. A pension of $4,000 a year or
aay other amount will be no more nee
essary to his existence than to Mr..
CIeVeland'S.
II, then, we may judge the future
by the past, it is fair to presume that
this country will never have an ex-
president who is properly an object of
charity, for if it is honor that is intend
ed, a gold medal would accomplish the
same purpose. Widows of presidents.
When the need was have invariably
been taken care of by the nation their
husbands served. No danger that any
Of them will come to want exists or
can exist. We hope the Lowering bill
VIII fail of passage.
The dollars the Massachusetts man
proposes to deliver to ex-presidents
would be much better distributed in
pensions to department clerks Who
nave grown feeble after years of Ia
Dor Such people would appreciate it
more and it would be more in line with
the pension idea than pin money in
channels already full.

MAYOR LOWS MESSAGE.

- OSITlVELY THE ONLY MERIT
which can Faithfully be ascribed
to the first message of Mayor Low to
the board of aldermen is the merit of
brevity. And even such a merit as
this is doubtful when nothing is said in
few words. The message occupies a
little more than half column of space
in the New York newspapers. That
is to say, it contains about $50 words
It carries not a suggestion for really
improving the condition of the great
metropolis. No plans are proposed for
public improvements, for cutting down
expenses, for lettering the finances Of
the city. The mayor instead devotes
himself to an arraignment of the
Tammany methods of soliciting bribes
and of diverting public funds to private
uses. 1t is such a message as might
have been expected from a profession
al reformer.
The same things were said over and
over again during the campaign
against Tammany, and said a great
deal better than the mayor now says
them. People do not care for pledges
after an election is over. When the
votes have been counted those who
cast them look for fulfllment of pledges
made in order to induce the casting
Of those votes. Therefore, Mr.. Lows
warmest admirers must feel dis
appointed at the weakness Of his in
augural words. 1t is true he says he
viii discuss city affairs later on, but
he might we'll have confined himself
to that statement alone on this occa-
sion
The mayor pro aises that no fndi-
vidual or corporation, from the hum
blest to the most powerful, need pay a
cent of tribute to the new administra-
ton. He asks all who have been in
the habit of paying for special exemp-
tons to abandon it. Further, he de-
sires that citizens report to him in
dividualiy any effort to levy blackmail.
This is all very well, but it sounds
more like campaign speech than an
inaugural message. The time has
passed for footing Of horns. The eyes
of the country are on the New York
reformers. They will be expected to
do noble things, not dream them all
day long"
