oLD-TIME PIANO PLAYING.
Not Much Like the Pace That Is Set
by the Players Of To-
Day.

In these infant days OF the twentieth
century the pianist stands next to the
singer among the princes Of the
musical world, writes W. ]. Hender-
son, in the Atlantic. But 1t was not
always so. The singer was the first to
mount the public throne and reign
with the specter Of sweetened sound.
Next came the violinist. and after him
the virtuosi Of wind instruments.
Early concert programmes show the
names Of singers, but not Of manipu-
lators of the keyboard.
The concert pianist Of to-day, sweep
ing the keyboard Of his grand and the
heart strings Of his hearers with sim
envy hands, emerged slowly from the
humble state Of a poor dependent,
creeping with anxious offerings to the
door Of his princely patron. It was
not till almost the middle Of the
eighteenth century that the perform
ance Of solo feats on the harpischord
began to attract public attention and
to form the substance Of concerts.

COST OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
In Connection With the President II
Is Above S125,ooo a Year.
State near 47th.
(San Francisco Argonaut.)

(San Francisco Argonaut.)
A correspondent asks: as the presi-
dent able to save anything out of the
mere $4,000 a year salary he receives?
Many people believe that the $4,000 a
year which the president gets as salary
is the sum total of his official income.
It is a mistake.
This is how he is paid: 10000 is given
him in addition to his salary of $4,000
to pay the salaries of his subordinateS
and clerks His private secretary is paid
$3.50, his assistant private secretary
$2,2so, his stenographer 81 BOO, FIVE mes
sengers (each) $I.7oo,, steward $500
two doorkeepers (each) $I,7oo, four 9th
er clerks at good salaries, ranging from
$500 to $2,Soo; one telegraph operator,
two ushers, $I.2oo and $1,000, a night
usher, SI.2oo. a Waterman, 5000, and a
man who takes care of the fires, who re-
ceives $S64 year.
In addition to this there is given him
5000 for incidental expenses, such as
stationery, carpets and the care of the
presidential stables. And under another
heading there is given him nearly $4,000
more. OF this $I2,soo is for repairs and
refurnishing the white house, $2,soo is
for the greenhouse, $z,soo is for fuel
$4,000 is for the greenhouse, $4,000 is
for gas, matches and the stable. The
white house all told costs the country in
connection with the president considerably
over $I25.ooo a year
The president is also we'll to do in his
own right, having inherited COM
petence from his father. Add to this
the royalties he has received from his in
come from magazine work, and it will
be seen that the expense incident to the
marriage of Miss Alice will by no means
pinch the purse of the house of Roose-
welt.

TURKS CRUELTY TO HORSES
Prefecture Of the Ottoman Capital
viii Take Steps to Re
strain It.

A laudable decision has been arrived
at BY the prefecture Of the Ottoman
capital, with the view OF protecting
horses from misuse and ill-treatment
says the Constautinople correspondent
OF the London Lancet. The Turks are,
on the whole, very kind to animals,
and shield them from injury by every
possible means. At almost every Turk
ish house in Stamboul there is to be
found a small receptacle where water
Is poured in every day for the use OF
the innumerable street dogs A Mus
suman, building his dwelling place,
rarely forgets to attach some contriv-
ance for sheltering birds, pigeons, spar
rows, etc.
I am assured that a cabman who
overruns a dog. heedlessly enjoying
its dolce far niente In the middle Of
the street, has to pay fine OF several
piastres. while the sultan Is believed
to spend a large sum on the feeding
Of the numerous canine scavengers
around his kiosks and palaces. There
are, however, a good many employers
Of horse labor who use their animals
in a cruel or thoughtless manner.
To prevent this the employment Of
senile, debilitated or diseased horses
has been forbidden. Municipal agents
will have difficulty in Constantinople
in insuring that the measure is strict
ly adhered to-that the load never ex-
ceeds the amount proportionate % the
horses strength. and so on-but, any
how. the spirit which has influenced
the new enactment is laudable.
