Boys Are Marching" in still another key
Nor is this all. Two pianos placed closely side
by side and the stool is placed at the point where the
two keyboards meet. Tom sits down and-now for
his most extraordinary act On the treble OF one
piano. with the left hand he plays the sublime Aus
trian National Hymn at the same time on the bass oil
the other piano. with the right hand he plays that
grandest of compositions, the Russian National Hymn
while simultaneously he sings, Justify, the stirring
Star Spangled Banner Each of these national airs,
the first instance. is in different time and key,
yet each is in perfect time and tune, and each is dis
tingushable from the other. Tom retires, while the
audience fairly tears the air with applause.
That Blind Tom literally feels the expression of
emotion in music shown when he first heard
DeKovens song 30, Promise Me" played the
piano That's love-" shouted Tom. Again. the
first time he heard orchestra play the 1ntermezzo
from the "Cavalleria Rusticana," he cried: That's
jealousy" His acueneSs of shown In naming
any note sounded on the piano was revealed when he
first heard some play the BLACK Key Polka
Without knowing even the name of the piece he
yelled: Black keys only.
When in New-York last winter Tom taken

home and played the act through The next night he
again stayed only for the second act, then hur

night he heard only the third final act-and upon his
return to his hotel repeated the entire opera from
beginning to end
That he is the pride OF his race, is natural The
negro who first played agtime music for Tom thought
he had the blind man "stunped." On the contrary,
Tom not only repeated all the complex movements he
had Just heard but improvised the spot rag time
composition having movements infinitely more difficult
than any its devOees had yet invented Ever since
then he has been able tell instantly when black
man is at the piano. whatever the selection. The
test of this came night when a white and
negro began playing the song at the
time different pianos. Before they had played a
dozen bars, Tom shouted Niger the left The
first time he heard Cole and Johnson sing Under the
Bamboo Tree, he bawled "Them's niggers.'
1t is not difficult to believe that Blind Tom has
made fortune for more than manager. He Is
such paying star, indeed that law suits for his
possession have been fought courts in several

Thcrcupon of the audience mounts
the stage and announces that he will play an original
composition winch Tom could not have heard

with ten fingers at 4 time performing seemingly every
possible gymnastic. then leaves the stage with the
manner of one who would say There If that blind
negro repeats that, he's a living miracle - Amazed,
the audience IS already listening to Ton-who is
cutting every musical hop skip and jump performed by
the lay brother repeating the entire composition note

Tom at the time has been initiating the

initiates the harsh gratings of shelter then the
sound OF buzz-saw eating its way INTO log. He

Insurance-The Christian
Case.

Judge Gear found defendants in de-
fault in the mortgage foreclosure case
of Henry E. Cooper VS.. Island Realty
Co, Ltd, and J. A. Gilman. The bal
ance of principal due on the mortgage
was SOS ,00O and $1,000 interest was
admitted the statement of interest to
be correct, but claimed an offset in the
amount of taxes paid by them. The
court sustained defendants objection to
the pleading of an oral agreement that
the Island Realty Co. was to pay all
taxes and give complainant six per
cent net interest. Defendants set up
the statute which says: THE mort
gagor of any property shall, in respect
of such property, be liable to taxation
only on the difference between the
/, whole value of the property mortgag ed
and the amount of money owing on the
mortgage of the property" and, after a
provision that the facts relating to the
| mortgage shall be appended to the
mortgagor's assessment return: I'm re-
spect of the amount of money secured
| by such mortgage he shall pay the tax
| thereon, which payment shall be deem
ed to be a payment made by the mort
gagor to the mortgage on account Of
interest, or of principal and interest as
| the case may be, and all moneys so paid
| by mortgagor shall be allowed for in
| the account between the mortgagor and
MORTGAGE"
The court finds that the defendants
are not entitled to the benefit of these
provisions because they did not file
| the statement in their assessment re-
turns which the statute requires. 1t
adjudges defendants in default of pay
nnent as alleged and states that a de-
| cree of foreclosure will be signed.
| Regarding the second mortgage on the
property set up by defendant Gilman,
| the court finds that he is entitled to
| the sum of $21, 5247S under said second
mortgage, and that in case the mort
gagged premises are sold for more than
| enough to satisfy the first mortgage
| with costs the decree should provide for
| the payment of the surplus on the sec
ond mortgage.
| The mortgages are allowed to bid at

HEAVY SURCHARGES

VIM. r. Sims, master, had his report
on the accounts of the executors of the
estate of James Campbell, deceased, ap-
proved in the main by decision of
Judge Gear filed yesterday. Over
charges of commissions on many items
of receipts and expenditures We're re-
ported by the master, upon which the
court ordered surcharges to the amount
of $10,565. Upon the executors correct
ing the accounts in accordance with
this opinion and prior opinions, they

celled upon filing receipts of the de-
visees under the will. The trustees who

to give bonds in S125, 200 each, that be-
ing the yearly income as shown by the
evidence. There are many compliment
tary references to the work of Mr.
Sims, as exhibited in his report,
throughout the decision. Holmes &,
Stanley appeared for the executors, and

CONFIDENCE

said Lord Chatham, sis a plant
of slow growth" People believe
in things that they see, and in a
broad sense they are right. What
is sometimes called blind faith is
not faith at all. There must be
reason and fact to form foun-
dation for trust. In regard to
medicine or remedy, for example,
people ask, ''Has it cured 9TH
ers? Have cases like mine been
relieved by it? Is it in harmony
with the truths of modern science,
and has it a record above suspic-
ion? If so, it is worthy of conf
dence; and if | am ever attacked
by any of the maladies for which
it is commended [ shall resort
to it in full belief in it's pow
er to help me-" On these lines
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
has won its high reputation a.
mong medical men, and the
people of all civilized countries.
They trust it for the same reason
that they trust in the familiar
laws of nature or in the action
of common things. This effective
remedy is palatable as honey and
contains the nutritive and cura-
tive properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by rs from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and the Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry. It quickly e.
radicates the poisonous, disease
breeding acids and other toxic
matters from the system; regu-
lates and promotes the normal
action of the organs, gives vigor-
GUS appetite and digestion, and is
infallible in Observation-Disclosures
ing Fevers, ETC., Scrofula, Infu-
enza, Asthma, Wasting Diseases,
Throat and Lung Troubles, etc.
DR.. W. A. Young, of Canada, says:
Your tasteless preparation of
cod liver OF: has given me uni
formly satisfactory results, my
patients having been of all ages"
It is product of the skill and
science of to-day and is success
full after the old style modes of
treatment have been appealed to
in vain. Sold by all chemists.

GOOD MUSKMELONS
FROM MOLOKA|

Island muskmelons of fine flavor
have been on the market until the past
week when the supply partially ran out.
The small dealers report that the ma
iority of the melons sold are grown IN
the islands, although some come from
California. The dealers find that the
local variety are much better liked than
the imported ones, being more sound
and of a better flavor.
The best have been coming from the
Myers ranch on Molokai. Lately the
melon fly invaded the ranch and the
supply has not been SO large. Guam
titles are also grown at Waianae.

Judge Gear rendered decision
yesterday after hearing, in which he
refused to dissolve the temporary in
junction obtained by the Territory of
Hawaii against the Pacific Hardware
& Steel Co. and its manager. T. A.
Hays, restraining defendants from do
ing business in the Territory. Deputy
Attorney General E. c. Peters ap-
peared for the Territory, and Castle &
Wilmington for Hays.
The first and third grounds of the
motion to dissolve were not pressed
These were that the temporary injunc-
ton was improvidently issued, and
that the bill did not show authority
for its issuance but did show a want
of equity on its face.
The second ground, that no bond
was required and none given, is held
not good because such plea implies
that the Territory could never sue out
an Injunction.
AS no argument was offered on the
was sufficient to sustain an order
granting the writ the court, consider
ing the serious questions involved, is
OF opinion that it would be better to
decide this question upon the final
hearing, and the court will take the
matter up at any time the defendant

The court denies the application of
the defendants TO have the land sold in
blocks or parcels, as in any event it
would seem that the only subdivisions
which could be recognized are those set
out in the mortgage.
The court declares it has no authority
TO order sale on credit under fore
