RUNNING A CAMPAIGN.

Describing in Parsons Magazine
the machinery fer a national party
campaign Mr.. d. A. Wiley says:
With the field of action plotted out,
the bureaus which are to enlighten the
masses as TO the virtues of their side
and the sins of the other get ready
for business. The press bureau organ
ICES with chief and enough assistants
TO examine and edit the mass of copy
required from the staff of writer's en-
ployed. Editorials, reviews statistical
articles, witty hits directed at the op-
posing party, even poetry, form part
of the product of this literature fac
tory to be spread broadcast over the
country some of it printed by the bur
reau in leaflet and pamphlet to be de-
livered directly to the voter, some of
it to to reach Inn through the medium
of the newspaper.
Excluding the newspaper copy,
which each party furnishes on so very
liberal a scale, the press bureaus put
out material ranging from pamphlets
TO posters by the ton, and sometimes
the carload. 1t was not uncommon for
it to be shipped by freight from Chica-
go during the campaign of 1900"
The routes for the speakers are
planned as carefully as the theatrical
manager arranges his circuit, burt with
this difference-that the orator plays
speaking at two or three towns in
twenty-four hours. The political cir
cult has its stars as well as the dra-
matte profession. Senators and politi-
clans of national repute, who visit only
the larger towns and are welcomed

FIRST SUCCESSFUL PIANO.

Cristofori, a harpsichord-maker in
the employ of the duke of Tuscany,
made the first successful piano in
I'LL.
AS curator of Ferdiuande de Medicl
he had a splendid collection Of
Belgian, French and Italian instru-
ments to look after. and this undoubt-
ejly aided him. though the model was
so crude that the inventor could never
have dreamed a monument would ever
be erected in his memory. There are
only two grand pianofortes of Girls
tofori in existence, says a writer in
the Housekeeper. One decorated in
gold and Chinese figures is in
Florence, and the other Is in the
Crosby-Brown collection in the Art
Metropolitan museum. Three doc
uments attest the authenticity of this
last instrument, which was purchased
from Signor Diego Martelli. From
this feeble beginning comes a long list
of names of men who helped perfect
the piano. But factories alone could
never have achieved without royalty
to encourage and virtuosi to play
Frederick the Great ordered five
pianos for his palace, where they can
be seen at the present day. Marie
Antoinette was a patron of the art
and Clement in England and Mozart
in Germany introduced the instrument
so it became a part of life. It was in
Pleyel's concert-room that Chopin
played, and our later firms have
brought out a long list of artists,
Joseffy, Paderewski and others.

SHIRT WAIST AT YALE.

New Haven Letter In New York
Sun.-An innovation on the ancient
academic costume has been intro
dUced by the Yale senior class this
year. Il is now the correct thing for
no coat TO be worn under the gown.
For several Sundays the seniors have
appeared in chapel in shirt waists
Most OF them have also had their
sleeves rolled up so that they present
a very neglige appearance when their
gowns fly open or the sleeves fall
back.
The undergraduate body is much
exercised over the question whether
coats will be required at the final ex-
aminatiOns. The examinations come
the latter part of June, which is al
ways hot in New Haven; and the at
mOsphere OF an examination hall
where several hundred men are swell
tering over comic sections or trying
TO find a meaning for a Homeric cpl
tibet, viii not be conducive to correct
ness of attire.
There has never been a faculty de-
cree regarding the propriety Of wear
ing shirt waists. and the matter has
always been left to the individual in
structors. AS a result there has
been a lack of uniformity which some
times. results in complications.
The older members of the faculty.
as a rule, require that a man, as one
professor recently put it, shall be
fully dressed in the classroom. The
younger members have recognized the
march Of progress and allow the cool
er garb. In some of his smaller
classes one OF the instructors has
even been known TO wear the informal
costume himself.
AS a result OF the idiosyncrasies Of
the members of the faculty, the stu
dents rearrange their schedules at
the beginning of the spring term
Courses which were formerly consid
cred easy are now cut in favor OF
harder subjects where the shirt
waists are permitted.
With the freshman class ii is a
T case OF the devil and the deep sea
The upper class men do not allow
them 10 appear on the streets without
n coat, and If they take their coats of
in the classroom they are in danger
OF running afoul of the instructor.
It is feared that the matter of coats
or no coats viii be left to the man in
charge of each examination to decide
Some OF the students are planning to
force the hands OF the faculty by not
wearing coats TO the classroom at all
while the more prudent are buying
linen coats.
