Mother" Jones, her small band OF strikers
about her. sat sewing in a lodging house in

the men and boys of her army and these clothes
needed mending, for they had been slept in

MUSIC OF THE INCAS.
Then Seem to Haze Been Fond of
Liquid" Tones.

At the American Museum OF Natural History
there has just been placed on exhibition COL
lection OF musical instruments which are in
teresting to the student of ancient history and
the artist as well as to the musician. The two
hundred specimens are arranged in cases on
the third floor a few feet away from the cOIlec-
ton OF birds found within fifty miles OF New
York. and they represent period long before
the discovery of America
THE Musical instruments OF the Incas" is
the title given by the museum authorities to
the collection, which IS composed Of pieces
found in Peru, where they were taken from
mummy packs and prehistoric graves The
Peruvian collections at the museum show that
an advanced civilization existed in Peru long
before Europeans went there. Works in metal
textile fabrics and ceramics show that they
were skilled in the arts. mummies indicate
that their embalming processes were OF
superior kind and skulls which have been IN
earthed leave no doubt in the minds Of the
student that the Peruvians were skilful sur
geons to whom the process of trephining was
known and by whom successfully Practised
Many of the decorated ornaments show
figures playing musical instruments. but in
no instance is there a stringed instrument rep
resented, which leads persons who have studied
the matter to believe that the Peruvians of the
pre-Columbian period confined themselves to
wind water and percussion instruments. and
of these the collection now exhibition IS
composed. There are bugles made OF clay. bells
like the sleighbeH Of the present time, shell.
bone and wood flutes and trumpets made OF
large shells with ornamental mOuthpeces. Sea
shells were also used as cymbals, and one piece
or pottery on which a man IS represented strik-
ing these. is hanked by fine specimen Of that
peculiar instrument. There are also several
specimens of flutes made from human bones,
and a number OF conch shells on which fantas-
tic figures have been engraved Shriu water
whistles similar to those which are sold on the

GOOD REASON FOR NOT MARRYING.

Phil" May, the English artist. who died
last week. worked, in his youth, on The
Bulletin" of Sydney. Australia. Occasionally
the young man would be assigned by THE Bull
letin" people to the police courts. and from
these assignments he would bring back sketch
es, now humorous. and pathetic, that were
admirable.
One of the best OF THE Bulletin sketches
hangs in the library of Joseph Chamberlain. 1t
portrays a thin, hangdog in the prisoners
bar talking to a very mild and sympathetic
looking judge Mr.. Mays story of the sketch
is that the prisoner had been dragged before
the judge every few mo tbs for number of
years.
Your face is familiar here" the latter now
said

Chekib Bey. the Turkish Minister to Wash

launching of the Turkish warship Medjidia at
the Cramps shipyard.
During the luncheon following the launch
Chekib Bey animadverted for moment on the
beggars of Philadelphia.

for a little money.

NO OTHER BISHOP IN HIS DIOCESE.

An amusing story is told of Commodore John

Yard. One Sunday, at the usual religious ser
vice of the men the training ship, the chap
lain on duty at the station read notice before
the buejacket congregation, closing with "by
order of the bishop" The commodore CHANGED
to be passing within hearing as the last words
were uttered, and he quickly turned about and
addressed the chaplain thus: by whose order,
did you say?" The chaplain politely replied
"By order of the bishop of this diocese" With
out stopping to inquire as to the nature OF the

FORTUNE
RESTORED
BY DEATH
Captain Corns||'s Money Found
In a NaIghbor's Strong Box
After Many Years.

Kingston. N. T.. Jan. 2.--Capt. Billy
Eddyville. who for half a century was
the most active steamboat man on the
river. For years Capt. Cornell invested
his money in government bonds and
stocks.
Tho interest on these securities ne
carried In his pockets in an ordinary en-
velope, which bore his name and address.
He often had thousands of dollars IN the
envelope and never thought of losing
the money.
But one day. some years ago. after
Capt. Cornell had been at work on sew
eral Of his boats at Bddyville. he discov-
cred as he started to return home that
the envelope was missing. Whether II
had dropped out as he was walking from
boat to boat or had been surreptitiousiy
removed Capt. Cornell was not certain,
but he was inclined to the latter opinion
He kept his loss secret.
Less than a month ago a former neigh
Dor OF the captain. upon his death bed,
called to his son and. pointing to an iron
box where he kept a few personal be-
longings said;
When I'm gone. give the money that's
there TO Bill"
He died a few minutes later.
The son obeyed. as >he supposed. his
fathers injunction. and when his
brother Billy" arrived from New York
the following day gave him the strong
box and the fathers dying message The
box was opened. Instead Of useless
papers II contained a fortune In bills OF
large denomination. They were In an
envelope addressed to Capt. Billy" Cor
nell
IT'S mine" BILLY" told his brother.
"and I'm going to keep it." The next
train from Kingston carried Billy" and
his fortune TO New York The following
day the old mans funerHt was held.
News Of the suddenly acquired fortune
reahced Sheriff Hasbrouck. His inves-
legations led him TO send All officer to
New York yesterday to demand of
Billy" the surrender Of the money to
Capt Cornell. Rather than stand the
publicly which his arrest would cause.
Billy came to Eddyville last night. and
gave Cornell his long lost fortune. but
upon the express condition that his iden-
tity be kept secret.
"Billy's" name is unknown, save to the
sheriff and captain. II is known, how
ever. that he occupies an important po-
sition with the New York Central rail-
road.
