q young man was also struck with the suf-
fering on the violinists face He spoke
few words to him, and, taking the violin,
drew from It such strains of melody that
in a few moments crowd had gathered
within the hotel and before 1t. First there
was silence then a shout of delight; and
when It ceased the players voice thrilled
every passionate patriotism, as he sang
with magnificent power and feeling
There is not spot on this wide peopled earth
So dear 10 heart the Land o. our Birth, etc.
A tumult of hearty applause followed and
then he cried Gentlemen, this old man
fought for the land of our birth, He Is dy
ing of hunger" and into the old mans hat
he dropped a bill and then handed it round
TO the millionaire and workingman alike.
Ethel's purse was IN her hand. AS he
PASSED along the curb at which her carriage
stood he looked at her eager face. and with
a smile held out the battered hat She,
also smiling, dropped her purse into it. In
a fey moments the hat was nearly full:
the Cd man and the money were confided
to the care of an hotel officer, the stream
of traffic and pleasure went on its usual
way, and the musician disappeared.
All that evening the conversation turned
constantly to this event. Mostyn was sure
he was a member of some operate troupe.
Voices of such rare compass and excep-

Unknown Parties Try to Enter Store
of G. w. Brown G. Co.

An attempted break at the George
w. Brown & Go. store on Water street
was reported TO the police yesterday
morning and Marshal Andrews made
an investigation.
Il was found that glass had teen re-
moved from the rear basement doors,
and that one of the iron bars, behinu
the glass, had been torn away. When
the burglar or burglars had progressed
thus far it was evident that they We're
frightened away, for the store was not
entered.
Marshal Andrews said that the job
!ras not performed in a professional
manner. and he considered it the work
of tramp. And furthermore he said
he had good idea Of just what tramp
made the attempt to get into the store.
The hobo in question is notoriously =
bad one. He left the city on one of
the afternoon trains yesterday.
This is the fourth time that an at
tempt has been made to force the base

Monster Fresh Water Smells.

II certain reports are true, there are
fresh water smelt, from 16 to IS inches
long, in China pond.
DR.. w. c. Kendall of the bureau, has
heard of these monster smets, and
has asked Prin. w. l.. Powers of the
Gardiner High school to secure some
specimens.
"a fresh water snlelt IS inches long
said MIR. Powers, "corrcSponds in size
to I COW 10 feet high. I have seen
many fresh water .5mcltS but never one
as large as those at China are reported
to be"
Whether the China pond smclts are
all 16 or IS inches in length was not
told. Ii may be that only a few old
timers, after living for ages in the
depths of TIE POND have come to the
surface FOR the express purpose of as
tonishirg the natives.
Mr. Powers sl:d that as soon as
travelling conditions improve little

did not say what kind Of bait he in

unusual size OF the fish he is going af-
