Reginald Dekoven was talking
about composer whose work is
reminiscent - whose compositions,
that is 10 say, are largely plagia-
risms, says the Philadelphia Bulle-
tin.
''He must be a man of genius"
said Mr.. Dekoven, smiling. "He
resembles so remarkably his prede-
cessors, the famous composers of
the past"
How does he resemble any ia
nous composers p pianist asked.
"Well,' said Mr.. DeKoven, still
smiling, "he resembles them in the
matter of inspiration. Rossini got
his inspiration from the society of
beautiful women. Wagner got his
best inspiration in the midst of
magnificent art works. Our friend
in like manner is best inspired when
he is surrounded by the compost
tions of other musicians"

RARE MAP OF LONDON.
Only Two Copies, One at Paris, Other
at British Museum.

Only Two Copies, One at Paris, Other
at British Museum.
1t does not appear u be widely
known that the second copy Of the
celebrated map Of London. engraved
ut Fithborne in l6JS. which was ac-
cidentaIly discovered half a century
ago, can now be seen in the print
room of the British museum. There
is only one other original copy in
existence. and that is in the Bibli-
otheque Rationale in Paris There
are at least two pieces Of internal
evidence BY which the date OF the
survey can be definitely determined
as having been made between the
wears l643 and 1911. Cheapside
cross, which was demolished in the
former year, does not appear in the
map, but that long known a Char
ing cross. which was cleared away
in 164,, is depicted as standing in
all its glory.
The engraving of the map was
not completed until los, and adj
vantage was taken of the delay To
introduce the new buildings and inn
provements up to that date, as, for
example, the new buildings on the
west side of I.incoln's Inn Fields and
Clare market, which was opened by
John HOLES, earl of Clare, in 1856.
Pail Mall Is represented as pleas
ant walk, with double row Of trees
on the north side.
A windmill marks the site and
origin of the name Of the present
Windmill street. The gaming house
that existed at that period at the
top of the Haymarket is also repre-
sented. From Stepney to London IS
open country, the only water shown
in st. James park runs from north
to south across the present parade
ground, and in the middle of the
roadway of Holborn. near the top
of Chancery lane, is shown row
of small houses that completely OBJ
structed the view along that thor
oughfare.
1t is considered questionable, it
NAV be added. whether the map was
ever published, for the period was
one of considerable turmoil, and
there seems little doubt that the
plates and their impressions perish
ed in the great fire of l6G6.-Pall

His Excuse.

In local business house a night
watchman has been under suspicion
for some time of falling asleep at
his post. The other night when the
house was open until near midnight
the manager came suddenly upon
the watchman and found him fast
asleep in a chair in secluded part
of the busiest room in the establish
ment. Waking him rudely, he said:

more chance, and so he escaped with
a reprimand.-Albany Journal.

Looks Good For Hope

Some weeks ago the Pioneer
made q statement to the effect
that the Great Northern would
build a reservoir and water tank
at Hope and predicted that the
fast trains would stop here. That
statement, altho not actually con-
firmed from headquarters, has
received added proof in the de-
velopments of the past week.
In the yards here at the pre-
sent time are several car loads of
stone to be used in the construct
ion of the reservoir and more
material is on the way. The
most vital proof, however, has
been given by representative
of Fairbanks, Morse & Co., who
was here a few days since and
who had with him the blue prints
showing the detailed plan of the
reservoir and water works to be
built. AS we understand it, the
plan is to build the reservoir in
the bed of the creek on the U. j.
Rugg farm, two and a half miles
south Of town. This creek, be-
ing fed by springs, will furnish
an ample supply of water the
year around. From the reser-
voir the water will be pumped to
tank in town. The plans in the
possession of the agent included
the system of piping and the
gasoline engine that will furnish
the power.
This action of the Great North
ern removes practically the last
doubt about the intentions of the
railway officials with regard to
the stopping of the thru trains
here and makes it practically a
certainty.

From The Langdon Republlcan:
Tuesday morning at the Pres
byterian church in this city, oc-
Cured the marriage of two. Of
Langdon's most popular young
people, Fred b. Smith and Miss
Leonore ALERT, Rev. Wilson Off
ciating. The church was beauti
fully decorated for the occasion
and well filled with relatives and
friends of the contracting parties.
Promptly at ten O'Clock the we'd
ding march, played by Miss
Mabel Mcknight, ushered in the
bridal party led by Rev. Wilson
Following were the ushers, DR..
Tom Smith and Prof. D. J. Rid
ellington, the groom accompanied
by S. H. Little as groomsman,
the bridesmaids, Misses Vivian
ALERT and Ethel Mcknight, and
the bride, leaning on the arm of
her father, was led to the altar
and by him given to the groom.
The ceremony was both beauti-
full and impressive.
The bride is one of Langdon's
beautiful and accomplished
young ladies and is well known,
having lived here since her girl
hood. Her friends are numbered
by scores. She was tastefully
gowned in white crepe de chine,
with yoke of Irish point lace
and a white bridal veil. She
carried a bunch of bridal roses.
Her travelling suit was grey
tweed with hat to match. The
bridesmaids wore white net over
blue and each carried a bunch of
pink roses.
The groom is one of our at
torneys, having located here
about two years ago and by hard
work has built up an excellent
practice. When a lad he was
devil in a printing office but when
he was promoted it took the am
bition for the art of preservation
out of him and he turned his
his attention to the study of law.
He was associated with one of
the best lawyers in Minnesota,
but left there for larger and
better fields. He is energetic
and a tireless worker in his pro
fession and has made a host of
friends since locating here.
! After the ceremony a wedding
breakfast was served at the home
Of the brides parents to the
marriage party and a reception
was held from IL O'Clock until 2
p. m. The happy couple left on
the afternoon train on wedding
trip to the groom's parents in
Morris, Mimi, and other points
in the east. They will be at
home to their friends in this city
after November 1st. We join
their host of friends in extend
