HOW TO CONTROL A VOICE.
British Officer Says Nature Is No
the Sole Regulator.

British Officer Says Nature Is Not
the Sole Regulator.
TO a recent issue of the British
Medical Journal Major R. F. E. Austin
of Imtarfa, Malta, contributed paper
on commonly overlooked factors IN
vocal mechanism, in which he asserts
that the universal idea that all natur'
ally possess either good, bad or indif'
ferent voices is wrong and contends
that nature is directly responsible for
one and only one of these conditions
and that the others must be attrl'
buted to mans unconscious departure
from natures laws.
It will be news to many that by
far the greater number do not possess
full control of the adductor muscles OF
the cords and are therefore unable to
place and keep the cords in the most
appropriate position quickly. The
author asserts that it is surprising
what a number of professional voice
users, as we'll as amateurs, fail in this
respect According to his thinking
the majority of voices are lost not
from Overwork but as a result Of i'm
proper emission.
Major Austin contends that in or
der to obtain quickly the thorough
control of any muscles or set of mus
eles they should be developed by brisk
movements, which fully contract then
in the case of the adductor muscles
of the cords this can only be done by
using the voice in a most inartlstlc
although physiological manner. That
is to say, words should be sung
or spoken quickly in acute pene

given as an excellent phrase fo1
the purpose.) The voice should be

Capt. George w. Lloyd, the aged Gus
todian of the monument of Thomas
Paine in North street, New Rochelle. is
circulating a petition asking that the
city of New Rochelle assume the task
that he has been performing gratui-
tously for many years. Capt. Lloyd
has reached his seth year, and now
that the infirmities of age are begin
ming to tell on his once rugged con-
stitution he feels himself compelled to
retire. '
Yet he is unwilling to give up his
self-imposed duty until he is assured
that it shall be attended to by some
other responsible party. His desire is
that the municipality Of New Rochelle
shall accept the monument of the au-
thor of ssThe Age of Reason" as a
public charge and care for it in per-
petuity.
A great change has taken place in
public opinion since Paine was buried
in New Rochelle at the beginning of
the last century. Then such feeling
prevailed against his teachings that
the Episcopalians Of the city would not
allow a grave to be dug for him in
the churchyard, and his followers
buried his body near his old farm in
North street. The funeral procession
as it passed along the highway was
derided by church people, and the
church bells were rung in jubilation
over his death.
Now all of this spirit has melted
away. 1t is probable that the Board
I'of Aldermen will accept the monu-
ment and see that it is properly pre-
served as one of the landmarks Of the
city.
| Recently the city authorities, in i'm
proving North street and converting it
into a boulevard, moved the monument
to a better location and enclosed it
with an iron fence, adding greatly to
the appearance of the plot. The mon
ument marks the supposed location of
the grave in which Paine's remains
we're laid in 1909 and from which they
were stolen by direction Of Cobbett,
the English radical, ten years later.
If the petition of Capt. Lloyd pre-
walls. it is proposed to have the cere-
mOny Of turning the monument over
to the city take place on July 4.
For nearly forty years Capt. Lloyd
has guarded the tomb and been the

For youth is the mainmast and love is

bring in the wounded to the hospitals.
1t is during this period that Lloyd has
been accused of having been keeper
in Libby prison, and there are old
soldiers in New Rochelle who declare
to this day that they saw him peering
into the prison pen lat them. Capt
Lloyd denies this. but it is certain that
he knows more about the prison than
he has ever told:
During his stay in Rich mond Lloyd
! took a contract to make 10000
crutches, for which he received $1,000
in Confederate money. With his earn
ings sewed in a belt he sent out for
New York in 1854 in disguise, carrying
also 500 letters from the Provost Mar
shall of Richmond to Northern sympa-
thizers of the Confederacy. He re-

visits to his wife and family. until the
war closed and it was safe for him to
return to New Rochelle.
For many years Lloyd followed the
sea. for a living, running a fishing
smack on Long Island Sound and rent
ing boats. A few years ago his fishing
boat was sunk by some mischievous
boys, and the old man, "sick and torn
to pieces" as he expressed it, gave up
seafaring. ...<,..
Capt. Lloyd is a wellsread man. He
has numbered among his acquaint-
ances George Francis Train, Senator
Tillman, Tom Watson and William
Jennings Bryan.
When Capt. Lloyd appeared at the
Populist convention in Cincinnati a
few years ago he was so patriarchal
in appearance that the delegates
seized on him and attired him to rep
resent Uncle Sam. Lloyd accepted the
part with his characteristic good ma
ture. He was so bitter against the
gold standard at that time that he
paid his fare to Cincinnati and return
with silver dollars-New York Sun.
