WHEN O'BRIEN TUNED THE
PIANO.

OBrien had been a plumber. Luck
had gone with him--some good city
contracts, and now he was on Easy
street" But the economical consd-
erations which he entertained in the
days when he had to look out for the
tomorrows remained with him.
So 1t was that when Mrs. O'Brien
informed him she was going to give
a party and that she thought the pi-
ano should be tuned, that OBrien re-
monstrated:
why, it was tuned only a while
ago." he said.
Il know" replied Mrs. OBrien, but
one of our guests will be Prof. Bag
insky, the great piano player, and if
our piano isn't just right he might
make some comment, and I would feel
dreadful"
O'Brien thought rthe matt-e owe

IS to tune that piano. I've seen them
turn those little pegs around with a
wrench, and if a master plumber can't
do that, I'd like to know who could?"
O'Brien made up his mind to tune
that piano himself. At noon when he
returned home he asked the girl where

settlement of the strike with the
Barber Asphalt company the ce.

therefore settlement was effected
without considering the cement

they refused to recognize the
cement workers as being entitled

PARIS, May 1.-THE Cheyenne
Sorgeu is at the present moment
the most talked about woman in
France. AS soon as the great min
ers' strike now in progress was or
dered, she packed UP her trunks
and came from her fine country
place of Arzac, near the French
Mediterranean shore, up to the
north 10 help spread anarcy and
revolution.
For this is the strong point of
the cheyenne, and she aims at the
distinction of being recognized by
history as the successor of the ia
nous Theroigne de Mericourt,
crowned Goddess of Reason by the
French revolutionists under the ter
ror and enthroned in the cathedral
of Notre Dame.
The Cheyenne Sorgue believes
that anarchist principles should be
applied in their entirety, with indi-
vidual rights and equtlity of pos
session. This is what the citoy-
enne breaches whenever she takes
the stump.
She demands eight-hour days
with full pay as the beginning of
social reform. 1t was largely be-
cause she saw the opportunity to
urge this that she rushed to Lens
to help the miners strike.
Again and again she was held up
in the streets by policemen who
wanted to arrest her; but she was
able to prove each time that she
had said or done nothing beyond
what the law allowed her as a
right, and so she was able to con-
tinue.
Many charges were brought
against her for her ambiguous po-
sition as a property owner melting
to revolt against other property
owners, and she attempted an an

BEGINNING OF

MADRID, May 2s.-Athough the
wedding Of King Alfonso and Prin-

celebration Of the event began here

other decorations are displayed in
profusion everywhere and a num-
Der Of triumphal arches have been
erected by the municipality and pa.
triotic citizens.
Beginning with today there will
be military parades and band con-
certs every day. Circus perform
ances, bull fights and other popular
entertainments will attract thou
sands to the various places of
amusement and in the evenings
there will be special performances

well, it doesn't matter" said
O'Brien, as he got out hisk it of tools,
pulled off his coat, rolled up his
sleeves, took off the front of the pi-
ano and set to work.
He screwed up several of the pegs
at random, and then it occurred to
him that maybe he might screw up
the same peg twice. So he got piece
of chalk and marked each peg as he
screwed it up. The job finished,
O'Brien struck each key with re-
sounding poke. A pleased look came
over his face. Every one of them
sounds out" he said.
did you have the piano tuned?"
asked Mrs. O'Brien that evening.
ITS tuned" said O'Brien.
The guests arrived and with them
Prof. Baginsky. The dinner was fine
The professor ate ravenously. He
had long. greasy black hair and fero-
cious eyes. He didn't talk at all-in
fact seemed very morose. The women
admired him greatly. The men looked
obviously. O'Brien said afterwards
It's wonder I didn't hand him
one"
After dinner the professor was re-
quested to play and the party assem-
bled in the drawing room With the
air of a mighty monarch he seated
himself at the piano.
"Beet-oven's Sonata" he announ-
ced,, and then he let loose.
Wow" Anyone would think that
Beethoven had supplied a cat chorus
with a Chinese gong factory accom-
paniment.
The professor got up. He was wild.
He ran his hands through his hair.
II go mad-I scream-You insult me-
break it kill it," And with one
kick he sent his foot through the
front of Mrs. O'Brien's $500 grand.
With a wild rush he dashed out of
the room and out of the house.

claimed O'Brien.

en-, that that tuner played a trick on

head, that's jus: it Casey recon-
mended him to me. He was jealous
because we were going to have a pro-
fessor."

MEN ARE AT WORK.

The local electrical workers re-

The Cheyenne Sorgue, in addi-
ton to her fine ooks, has a great
deal of magnetism and an eloquent
voice which wins everybody to her
way of thinking. A great part of
her influence is due to her eccentric
but picturesque dress, a mans felt
hat, a white skirt. blue bolero and
a scarlet sash, emblem of the revo-
luton for which she pines.

way of suggestion this might be by pay

To insure permanancy and regularity
upon which this city can safely rely, as
well as TO enable such corporations ia

deemed necessary. For this reason the
matter is submitted now to allow the
people time for discussion and full con-

the Legislature those who will vigorous

these and such other matters as may be
deemed for the public welfare

Mount Holly, n j., Feb. 9.-The trial
of Rufus johnson for the murder OF Miss
Allinson was concluded yesterday, the
jury bringing in a verdict Of murder in the
first degree, after being out about two
hours. The testimony against the de-
iendant was conclusive, regardless of the
admissions he made both off and on the
stand. Johnson declared that he had no
intention TO commit murder; and that he
had taken refuge in the barn TO avoid
being seen by the police, who were on his
track for the robbery at the Goodenough
farm.
When the jury rendered their verdict,
Judge Hendrickson ordered the defendant
TO stand up. and asked:
"Have you anything TO say why sentence
should not be passed upon you ?'
johnson seemed dazcd for a moment.
Finally he mutiered. "Can't you give

Some method should be devised to close
up delinquent accounts more expedi-
tiously.
There are some things in which greater
economy should be practiced, but one
has only TO walk about our streets 10 be
convinced that in many districts a
greater expenditure is necessary. A city
of the size, character, prominence, loca-
tion, wealth and growing prosperity of
Wilmington, should not be forced 10 be
parsimonious in those things which di-
rectly effect the health, education and
even the comfort of its inhabitants. 1t
is false economy to neglect or delay
meeting municipal requirements fully
and with reasonable promptness. OF
course only careful but vigorous business
methods should be employed, but it is
clear that more money must be obtained.
To continually borrow TO meet growing
deficiencies and current expenditures, can
only result in an endless chain of increas-
ing debt burden. and over-straining the
citys borrowing power.
Taxation seems the only refuge. This
being true, il remains for MS to consider
where the extra burden shall be placed
There is very general sentiment that
the assessments are not fairly distributed
in value, and if they were properly laid
as per section so of the city charter in
which IL is stated; "That the assess
ment of real estate shall be made accord
ing TO n certain rate i'm and upon each
hundred dollars of the estimated value
of the property assessed, If sold for cash.
and so pro rata"-and levied impartially,
that the gross amount TO be taxed would
be increased and be in line with a square
deal.
A city tax rate Of 81 so on proper val
uations, based on such condition. in ad-
dition 10 the county tax, is as much as
the home-owners should pay, especially
our large working population. There is
no valid provision for taxing personal
property, and there is much i'm the con-
tention that personal tax would be un-
equal, unjust, inquisitorial, and initiate
strongly strongly against obtaining and
retaining industries.
We should also turn our attention to
another available source of revenue; for
relief we must have-and speedily: that
is to the public service corporations,
which are enjoying franchises granted by
the city. These franchises were granted
practically without consideration. They
are valuable property. Why should they
not be taxed for the benefit of the city in
its extremity, and relieve the owners of
homes who obtain their property only by
paying for itg Gas, electric light. street
