Chopin's Piano Tuner.

When Chopin was in England he al
ways insisted on having his piano
tuned by young man named Hipkins-
Alfred James Hipkins, who died in Lon
don two weeks ago. Subsequently Mr..
Hopkins became a great expert on the
pianOfOrte. He wrote the article on
that instrument for the Encyclopedia
Britannica" and also for Groves Die
tionary of Music and Musicians" to
which he contributed 1874 articles alto
gether. 1t was due to him largely that
the ''diapason normal" was finally
adopted in England. He also gave
piano recitals. and often lectured on
old instruments. The London Times
says: 1t is difficult to realize that
Hipkins was in his day considered pc
culiar for his admiration not merely for
Wagner, but for Chopin: an eminent
critic said OF him. Hopkins is not a bad
sort of fellow; but he will like Chopin,
and very interesting photograph was
published not long ago, in Miss Bache's
memoirs of her two brothers. of the six
enthusiasts who had the courage to adj
mire Wagner in the year 1868. One OF
these was Hopkins, whose admiration

that Wagner was being condemned I'M

Anagarika Dharmapala would reju-

view he called upon Secretary Wilson. of

native priest of Ceylon has been travel

Anagarika Dharmapala went to Tuske-

as an inspiration. After a talk with
Booker T. Washington he decided that
an agricultural and Industrial school

the shadows Of the ancient pagodas at
Benares. the seat of the religion of
Brahma. where bewhiskered monkeys
are priests and children something that
the natives deplore, would be the best

AS The result of deep thought Anaga-

conclusion that intelligent work had a
great deal to do with this condition of
plenty. and he. planning to try and
start the Brahmins on the road to work,
came TO the United States for learning.
For some time the seeker after truth
has been in Chicago. where he arrived
out of the West. having landed a few
weeks previously at San Francisco from

Persons in the Great City OF Much

aEN POPULATION IS FALLING oFF.

Census reports show very large ap-
parent falling of in the number of chick
ems in the United States, but a very
large increase in the number of eggs pro
dueed. This is explained by the director
Of the census, who saysethat in pre-
vious enumerations it has been custom.
ary to count everything wearing feath.
ers, but this time the enumerators were
instructed to include nothing but chick
ems 3 months old or more. Ducks, geese,
turkeys. etc, were counted separately.
As the enumeration was made upon June
30. 1900, this barred out many of the
chickens that were Matched that spring.
1t is interesting to know that on the
date named we had the following chick
ems. ducks and turkeys and other fowls,
compared with the census Of 1880 and
that OF 1890:
chickens-lSSo, lO2,22e, la5; 1890, 23S,-
59sOS5.
Ducks-lsoO, 7544,cso; 1900. 1907,
Tmkeys-l8oo, lo.754.oOo; 1900, $685.
367.
Geese-lSoO, s,4ol75; 1900. 5,C7G.9c@.
Other fowls-lSSO, 23,2$5,ls7; 1890.
26.73s.3I5; 1900, l7Os3,5ss.
Ducks, geese and turkeys are included
in the enumeration of other fowls in
1880 and are not given separately in tie
census for that year.
Alaska has the smallest number OF
chickens. only l7G being reported for
that year. while Iowa has the largest
number. showing a total of 1897 ,6S3.
The following statement will show the
number of eggs produced in the United
during the last three census years. OF
course this is only an approximation,
but the figures are as accurate as could
possibly be obtained. Few farmers keep
an exact account OF the number OF eggs
laid BY their hens, ducks and turkeys,
and the census enumerators, being in
structed to ask the question, made them
guess at it-that is, to give as nearly
as possible the number of eggs produced
on their farms. No account was taken
OF the barnyard fowls or the eggs pro-
duced in cities and villages, and they
must number millions scattered over the
United States. In many villages nearly
every family raises its own chickens and
eggs, but it was impossible TO make an
enumeration. The census Office says
that probably ) per cent should be add
ed TO the total number of chickens and
eggs to cover those that are produced
elsewhere than on farms.

BUSINESS MEN RAISE OLD NED
ABOUT REPORTS PUBLISHED
ABOUT THE SMALLPOX.
Condemn Their Own Local Papers Sc
verely, But They Do Not Seem
to Mind It.

Alorglntown, W. Va, March 3.-Thc
Business Mems Association Of this city
met and passed resolutions condemning
the local newspapers for publishing news
in regard 10 the smallpox situation, and
also eoudemning the correspondents OF
out OF town papers for sending out small
pox news.
The business men claim that the sit
uation has not at any time been alarm
ing, and that all the excitement was
caused by the papers. The general pub
lie. however, does not look at it this
way, and most people believe that it is
papers duty to print the facts re-
garding the smallpox outbreaks the same
as they print any other news.
The central high school was opened
again and the scare seems to be about
over in most parts of the city.
No new cases have broken out and if
any more are going to develop it is now
time for them to begin.
The board of health and the school
board met and talked the situation over.
The physicians connected with the Tor.
mer board think most the danger has
passed.
Business has not suffered to any ex-
tent by The outbreak and it is not be-
lieved that many persons have been
kept out OF the town by the reports
which have been circulated.
The newspapers have stood their
ground well with the business men and
will continue to publish the news. The
papers here have handled the situation
very carefully and have printed moth
ing but facts, or rumors which We're
given as rimors for what they We're
worth.
All the correspondents have used the
same precanton and the quiet and cool
headed community believes that the ac-
ton of the business men was hasty and
