PIPE OF MANY PEOPLES.
English Ladies and Indian Lovers
Pined to Play the Flaeeolet

The fiageolet is of peculiar interest to
Americans, says the American Inventor,
as from time immemoriaI it has been the
medium through which the Indian youths
courted their sweethearts at a distance,
when they were so unfortunate as to be
unable to gain a personal audience
The love or counting flute of the Apache
is made of a round stick of cedar about
"a inches long, split lengthwise and hol-
lowed to form an air chamber. A hole is
made on each side of this diaphragm and
a shallow air passage cut from one hole
to the other.
Above 1t a cap of wood is placed for the
purpose of covering the upper hole and
the air channel. The lip is made of a thin
sheet of lead, and the whole bound to-
gether with slender throng. In the tube
part, or body of the instrument are
placed six finger holes, a condition tina,
points Enthusiastically to the influence II
contact with the white man.
The f1ageolet. as ordinarily understood.
may be described as a whistle headed
flute. In the seventeenth century En-
glish ladies often played on it. Sometimes
two or three fiageoet tubes were con-
structed with one head for the purpose
of introducing notes in harmony These
were called double or triple f1ageolets.
and a patent was taken out for this in
strument by one cambridge.
An old English diary of 1867 contains
this quaint reference to the double flag
eolet: ITO Dumbleby's. the pipemaker,
there to advise about the making of 4
fiageolet to go low and soft, and he do
show me a way which to do, and also a
fashion of having two pipes of the same
note fastened together, so as l can play
on one and then echo 1t upon the other,
which is mighty pretty

banquet about the last of this month,
just after which he will leave for his
new home at Pine Bluff Ark.
Mr.. Parkes is very popular with all
classes of people in this city and as city
engineer has rendered invaluable service
to the city.
The banquet in his honor promises to
be one of the most notable events of the
kind ever given in Bessemer. Commit
tees from both lodges have been appoint
ed to arrange for the affair.
Notes and Personals.
The Rev. j. F. Gable of Birmingham
will conduct the services at the First
Baptist church in this city tomorrow
morning and again at night. The church
has not yet secured a pastor to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
the Rev. r. s. Gavin.
The Board of Trade will meet in regu-
lar session at the city hall next Tuesday
afternoon at 8 o'clock The Board Of
Trade only meets once in each month now
and as this is the first meeting for some
weeks it is expected that considerable
business will come up for consideration.
The contractors who were awarded the
work of repairing and remodeling the
Steiner block at the corner of Second
avenue and Nineteenth street, are pro-
crossing well with the work and the ap-
pearance of the building is being greatly
improved.

urlng on all sales for three years, show
an average selling price of $6710.
The extraordinary increase in the i'm
portation of foreign machines is indI-
| Gated by the fact that in 1903 only 375
were brought in, costing $1,000, 600; in 1904

| average price of the imported article from

| The average of s1702 per car for the
| homemade product does not indicate that
| the American manufacturer is not build

| The difference is caused by the fact that
! while few small cars are imported, the
| Americans are producing great numbers
| of small runabouts, etc, in which the

| An interesting feature of the year S

John Spires, an engineer on the Lehigh
Valley Black Diamond Express. living at
Sayre, has received news of legacy of
900 in a novel manner
Twenty-six years ago, at a Fourth-of-
July celebration. a nail was blown into his
neck. The wound healed and he did not
know the nail was there until a few
months ago, when sharp pain in his neck
caused him to consult DR.. OFT. of the
Sayre Hospital. DR.. OFT discovered the
nail and removed 1t. The World published
the story and it was copied by other
papers, and was seen in London paper
by a London lawyer who had been
searching for Spires for two years.
The lawyer wrote to the engineer, who
established his identity to the lawyer
satisfaction, and has just been Informed
that a legacy $4,000 left him two years
ago by an aunt in England awaits his
orders.

COUNCIL TO ORDER
ELECTION ON BONDS
BeSSemer Wants New Public
School Buildings
OFFICERS MAKE REPORT
Bessemer Shown to Be in Fine Condi-
ton-Flnances Are Good and

Bessemer, March 17.-(Special)- city
council of Bessemer Will have several
matters of Importance to consider when
It meets in regular session next Tuesday
night.
One of the most important will be the
adoption of an ordinance providing for an
election to decide If bonds shall be issued
for the purpose of erecting one or more
public school buildings. The amount of
the issue to be voted on will be decided
at the meeting Tuesday night. Acting
City Attorney Perry is now preparing
the ordinance providing for the election
and it is believed that it will pass the
council without OPPOSITION as it has been
clearly shown in the council that at
least one new building is absolutely nee
essary to accommodate the pupils.
Another matter of Importance coming
before the council will be the election
of a city engineer to succeed w. j.
Parkes, who resigned some time ago to
accept a similar position at Pine Bluff,
Ark.
Shere are half a dozen or more appli-
cants for the place and the contest prom
Uses to be a very interesting one. 1t
is understood that the members of the
| council and mayor have held one or more
caucuses to discuss the vacancy and the
candidates but if an agreement has been
reached 1t has not been made known
to the public.
Other matters of Importance will likely
come before the council.
Annual Report of Officials.
The annual reports of the city officials
are being issued from the hands of the
publishers and are being read with in
terest by the people.
All the reports show the city to be in
a prosperous and growing condition and
the treasurers report shows healthy
balance in the treasury after an unusual
amount of public Improvement has been
| done.
| 1t is shown that more work has been
| done on the streets and sidewalks Of
the city during the past year than in
any previous year and extensive improve
ments are now under way.
| The total receipts of the city for the
year were s91.510.74. The total expendi-
lures were s7S,97s.63
| City Engineer w. j. Parkes report was
very exhaustive and in detail reviewed
| all the improvements that had been made
| in the city during the past year. His
report gives some interesting facts and
| figures.
The reports of all the other officials
are interesting and make a fine showing
| for all the departments of the city gov
| eminent.

OIL IN MONO COUNTY

Locators are quietly grabbing up
all the land possible in the region
Of Mono Lake. The land about there
is very valuable from more than one
point of view, the best find being
that Of oil. On Crater island a hole
four feet deep is so full of the light
ing fluid that it can be dipped up .y
the bucketful. 1t burns readily and
already the agent of the Standard OIL
company is in the district and PROB
ably has the greater part of the land
located.
There are other rich deposits there
that will attract the outside world
and it is only a matter of short
time before the population of Mono
county VII be greater than ever be
fore.
