! THE MUSICAL CORNER :
CONDUCTED BY +. A. THOMPSON,
Violin Maker and Teacher.

No class of music laborers more richly
deserve our sympathy than the tyros
upon the violin. The torture of muscle
and nreve endured in the early stages
of study by the violinist can scarcely be
conceived by the piano student. The
singer has also an almost infinite amount
of minute study, study SO microscopic
that the great difficulty is to catch it
at all and to see any difference between
what the instructor calls good and that
which he stiematises as bad. This re-
suits in an attempt to force the work SO
as to see results. Nothing is commoner
or more distressing to good judge than
to hear a singer with a good natural
voice making futile attempts to emit
artistic tones without having had the
systematic training which must pre-
ccde the exercise.
The attempt of a raw voice to sing
passionate illusions of love or to utter
walls of despair OF to pour out the mel
low tones of tender persuasions, may
not make the angels weep for they are
proverbally kind hearted, but they GER
tainly make the judicious grieve. 1t is
an underlying mental trait and habit of
we Americans to jump at conclusions
and to shirk slow and drudging things.
Our achievements which read like fairy
stories have been by alertness, eager
ness, intensity and fiery dash, but what
ever demands patience find us apt to be
weak.
Piano students show the same weak
ness in their work. Do not all teachers
have the experience that the student
will take every plausible pretext to
avoid reciting those odious scales and
arpeggios? They are dreary, no doubt.
A perfect scale uttered legato or stacca
TO, if even and easy, whether shaded in
TO a semblance of sentiment or merely
given as a glittering tone chain as a
rope of pearls to bind together other
ideas of richer expressions. is a thing
of beauty, but only when it is done ad-
mirably and without any sign of effort.
/ well remember the first time ever
realized how marvellous a plain scale
could be. 1t was at Cincinatti at the
historic Odeon when Hans Won Bulow
gave a recital. He played Beethoven's
eighteenth sonota, the one in Z fiat
major. Near the beginning there is a

Stands Up for Jones.

There is considerable speculation over
the agitation the Spokesman Review has
started for a congressman from Spokane.
The question is, what effect will this
have on the selection of candidates
should the republicans of the state con-
clude to recognize the claims of Spo-
kane? Which one of the present CON
gresham would it eliminate: The in
ference is that it would be either Cu>h-
man or Humphrey, but it is just as liza
BILE to be Jones, although Spokane has
always shown a great deal of friendship
for him and he is the most invulnerable
from attack of any member of the pres
ent delegation in the house from this
state. His committee appointments are
such as entitle him to reelection with
out opposition and there is none appar-
emily from any quarter. However, it Is
not among the improbabilities if Spo-
certain that if Spokane man wins it
means the turning down of one of the
present representatives, and if the agita-
ton is sincere it Is now up to Spokane
to show how it may be accomplished
and which one is to 90. Ii the program
contemplates the defeat of Jones, Spo-
kane can make its calculations on a con
test of formidable proportions, and in
fact the same would probably he true in
the case of either Cushman or Humph-
rey. Ii Spokane is going after a con
gresham il will be interesting to know
just how it proposes TO get him. From
n casual observance of the conditions,
the outlook is not encouraging. The
people throughout the state are exceed
ingly well satisfied with Jones and any
effort on the part of the larger counties
to put him off the political map of the
state will meet with their opposition,
and as it will be impossible for the larger
counties to combine without eliminat-
ing one of them entirely, the chances
for congressman from Spokane are not
as hopeful as they might be. If the talk

London, July 30.-Russia has filed

tended for the use of the Japanese
government, and as soon as it was
established that such goods were about
to be shipped to hostile destination
the Facts were officially communicated
to the British government, with the
request that measures be taken to put
stop to it. 1t is further asserted
that in many cases the government has
not taken action, and it is understood
That when the war ends Russia pro-

1t is also learned that Russia does
not intend to hasten the settlement OF
the question of the right of vessels OF
the volunteer fleet to pass the Darda-
nelles, since if negotiations on the
subject were conducted at this time,
as desired by Great Britain, Russia
might be forced by the existing situa-
ton to grant concessions she would
afterward regret.

THE Won PLEHVE ASSASSIN
The St. Petersburg Police Arc Care
fully Guarding the Identity
of Their Prisoner.

St. Petersburg, July 30.-The name
of the assassin of Interior Minister
Won Plehve is given by the Bourse
Gazette as Prozef, but this is not con-
firmed by the police, who, if satisfied
that they have established the identity
or even the nationality of the MUIR
derer, are carefully guarding the facts,
perhaps to throw his accomplices off
the scent. The general public is dis
posed to regard the crime as intimate
ly connected with the far-reaching ter
rorist plot revealed last summer by
the arrest of Gerschunin, the Russian
revolutionary agitator at Kieff, where
he had gone to organize an attempt
on the emperor's life, at Saroff, during
the ceremonies incident to the canon
ization of st. Seraphim.
Gerschunin was captured, and he
and two others, one of whom was a
woman, were tried, convicted and SEN
fenced to death, but the emperor, with
Won PIehve's acquiescence, committed
the sentences to Is years imprison-
ment. Gerschunin Is now serving his
sentence in Schusselburg prison.

MODERN ENGLISH SERVANTS
Have Higher Pay, More Holidays and
Finer Clothes Than in
Former Times.

Times change, and our servants
change with them. The results of the
Lincolnshire May Hiring Fairs, which
extend over about ten days, and lately
came to an end, show that the old-fash-
Toned servant maid no longer exists,
says the London Chronicle.
Each succeeding year recently serv-
ants have demanded and obtained high
er wages, and in the case of domestics
the wages paid for their services are
twice as high as those which prevailed
20 or 30 years ago.
Another direction in which change is
indicated is the stipulation for a regular
weekly holiday as part of the hiring bar
gain. Very few servants will 90 out to
situations now without the concession
OF an afternoon or evening once week,
and in one case a girl asked for special
weekly holiday so that she might take
her music lesson.
Again, there is the cycling habit. So
many servants on bicycles have never
been seen before as during the recent
vacation. They fiocked into East Ang-
liam towns in considerable numbers,
most of them on prettily equipped up-to-
date machines.
The contrast with the "old hands" who
remember the May weeks of so years
ago has been very marked. The agricul-
tural laborer is as well dressed now as
his employer, and the dress of each do
nestle would have provoked the ex-
clamation that she was "a fine lady"
in her grandmother's time
Another of the many noticeable
changes which the servant problem
has undergone is that of securing a
girl who will undertake the duties OF
milking. In SO cases out of every 100
this branch of farmhouse work is now
delegated to the menservants.
Such changes as these, which make
the lives of servants more enjoyable
than formerly, and mark their emanci-
patton from the dull routine of daily
domestic work, are the inevitable out
come of diminishing supply rather
than the result of effective trade union
organization.
