Long Distance Music.

A machine to be exhibited al the
Lewis and Clark exposition AT Port
land. Ore, this summer is described IN
the Western Electrician by w (.
Rrindley as a new device for electric
ally transmitting music 70 distant
points. The invention, which IS ia
thered by Or Thaddeus CahilI. will
produce any kind Of muSic-violiu, ban
10. mandolin, guitar, etc.-or the com
biuation Of u number OF kinds. Says
Mr. Brindley:
The practical working out OF Dr. Ca
hills wonderful invention Is being rapidly
perfected Telharmonic companies Will
be organized and managed much as are
telephone companies. and for q tire il =
expected that telephone lines VIII be utii!Z
ed in the transmission OF music BY Dr
CahlIs method Il IS expected that sub
sCribers may be served with music for $5
a month. Operators viii be Employed in
the various central Offices, and these will
play continuously 4 daily programme
will be arranged and mailed to subsCrib-
ers. Thus one may look at the programme,
consult the clock and turn on the music
Immediately the room will be filed with
a symphony, lively march or 8 popular
ragtlme air. depending on what the op=r-
ator If playing in the central office at the
time.
Transmission Of music by means OF DR.
Cah.us device Is practically unlimited in
extent. An operator in Chica On might pro-
duce music for c concert in New York
city Transmission for so great a distance
would probably not be found econQmicaL
however and the territory covered by one
central Office will not exceed that Included
within radius Of twenty-five or thirty
miles
When Thomas A. Edison exhibited
his model of the first talking machine
thirty odd years ago he astounded the
people whom he favored with the Sc
cret by predicting that the best music
would one day be reproduced by ma
chine Of that nature and the genius
Of popular living artists made TO con
tribute TO the pleasure of auditors seat
ed in their own homes. The success Of
the telephone broadened that idea. and
romancers OF the Jules Verne order
have dipped into the future and seen
with prophetic eye stage OF civiltza-
ton when music would lie turned on
In every house like water and gas, or.
rather, electricity If nothing but 4
matter OF mechanism stands In the
way the obstacle will yet be overcome.

One of the best of the stories told
cf Whitelaw Reid, the dignifed jour.

a. 10 the court of st. James, goes back
to the campaign of 80, when the editor
Of the New York Tribune was the vice

hail and all the leading republicans
in the east were scheduled to appear;
Reid among them, his box on the sec

Az Mr.. Reid entered the house the
tumult OF applause broke forth He

cheering continued. and he bowed
again. Still the GROVE kept up it's tn.
multi and 'hird time he bowed. now

Instantly an uproar Of laughter

A MODERN INSTANCE.

On the theory that examples OF brav-
cry and sef seerifce minister to the
betterment Of the human race the un-
usual story of Rolin Ellison, banker, OF
LAGRANGE. Indiana. and that of his
family, deserves a wide publicity.
Ellisons bank failed because its pro
prietor had more than his share of
civic spirit. He took a great pride IN
the growth Of his town and to help
along it's prosperity went into about

that he had violated the banking laws
