The National tribune., 1906-05-10

Representative Sydney F.. Mudd, Of
MARYLAND. one of the establishments
of Southern politics, was renom-
mated for Congress May for the
eighth time. Mr.. Mudd was given a most
remarkable ovation, every eulogiStic
mention OF him being enthusiastically
cheered. and his son, Sydney r. Mudd
Jr was made temporary Chairman OF
the Convention, to introduce him into
politics. The platform adopted indorsed
Mr.. Mudd's every act and vote, ana
urged him in the future to act and vote
in any way his judgment might dictate,
approving and ratifying in advance
whatever he might do. A boom was
started for him for United States SEN
ator The astonishment about Mr.. Mudd
is that he has held his own in Mary
land against all the tricks of an un-
scrupulous opposition. Senator German
and his ring held the State of Maryland
in his hands for many years, but he
never could get rid of Mudd. All sorts
of devices and lodges were resorted to
to carry Mudds District for his Demo-
cratic opponent, but whatever cards
they might play Mudd had others up
his sleeve to beat them. Many OF these
tricks were of The most indefensible and
even Illegal character. Special election
laws were passed to disfranchiSe the
voters of his district. but somehow Mudd
always managed to circumvent them.
His District contains a great many ne
groes and other illiterates. and a Special
ballot was prepared by the Democratic
managers for these Counties, and still
further to confuse the voters other men
named Mudd We're put upon the ticket.
Mudd Immediately organized schools
throughout his District. at which the
negroes were taught to vote for the
man who had two hog yokeS-y's-in
his name, and they learned their lesson
so well he was triumphantly elected
Joseph Bucklin Bishop is again under
fire before the Senate Committee. II
will be remembered that he was at first
appointed Historian and Press Agent OF
the Canal at the Presidents request
After considerable public criticism he
was removed from those positions
which were abolished, and then was
made IA member of and Secretary of the
Commission at the Presidents further
request, his salary being fixed at $1O.-
COO, while' the salary of each other Com
missioner lis only $500. 1t seems quite
evident that Mr.. Bishop will have to
give up one of the positions and accept
a considerably lower salary than he is
now receitihs' or the Senate will not
confirm him.

BY SANTA FE

CHICAGO, Dee. S.-The Tribune to-
day says: The Atcllison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway is making prepare
tions for large expenditures in 1907
for extensive improvements all along
its system. It's budget for the year
has not been finally made up, but its
OUTLAWS for double tracking, extensions
and new equipment will probably ag-
gregate not less than SIS. 100000.
One of the most important pieces of
work the road has under way, the
double tracking of its main line from
Chicago TO kansas City. will be pushed
rapidly. although it is doubtful if ii viii
be completed before some time in 1908.
Another large Improvement is the con
struction of a new line from Texico.
n. NJ, to Brownsville. Tex. 1t is said
that when this line is built the Santa

San Francisco and Galveston.
The Santa Fe has placed orders re-
Gently for equipment which raises its

also proposed TO reduce much OF the
roadbed to grade. to improve the bal
lasting and to extend the block sig
nal service.

GIFTS NO BAR TO
CRITICISM

MILWAUKEE. Wis, Dec. S.--A spe-
cial from Appleton. Wis. says: Presi-
dent Samuel Plantz of Lawrence Uni
versity, today made a statement in
which he corrects assertions recently
appearing in public print with refer
ence to the $4,000 gift to the Law
renee University from the General
Education Board fund founded by
John d. Rockefeller. President Piantz
says Rockefeller has now no connec-
tion whatever with the board and has
nothing to say about the distribution
of its funds. Continuing, he says:
That accepting a contribution from
the General Board of Education would
compromise freedom OF speech in an
Institution of learning is a gratuitious
affirmation. Mr.. Rockefeller has given
Yale and Harvard a million each, but
whose professors have spoken more
freely on economic questions? Presi-
dent Hadley of Yale. before Mr.. Rookie
fellers gift and since has been one
OF the most outspoken of our econom-
lists on railroad rebate; professors in
Chicago University have been enjoy
ing freedom in speaking on economic
questions and on monopoies. Ger
tainly to accept a gift from a board
of education which Mr.. Rockefeller
has endowed in no way compromises
any institution of learning"

WILL TAKE PROUD
PLACE IN NAVY

BOSTON, Dec s.-The battleship YER
mont, from the yards of the Fore River
Shipbuilding and Engine Company OF
Quincy, successfully completed all her
Government trials at sea this after
noon, including a four hours run at
full power, a Neutrality-suspicious. endur-
ance test and the usual turning ana
backing maneuvers. Her entire FOR
ward deck from stem to bridge was
encased in ice as the result or thirty
six hours trip in northwest gale and
zero temperature.
Tonight Rear Admiral Hemphlil no
tilted the Secretary of the Navy that
the behavior of the ship had been eN-
cellent. In the four hours fuil-power
run yesterday the Vermont averaged
1888 knots an hour. In the twenty
hour test the average speed was
1913 knots an hour and the horse
power 1900.
The requirements called for an aver
age of eighteen knots at full power and
1920 horsepower at two-thirds speed.
The trials were held under the most
severe conditions yet undergone by a
Government vessel and the. require
ments were all completed within four
days. which is the shortest period in
which a battleship has been put through
her PAGES.

~ He THEMODIST is not to be regarded
new type of instrument, but rather
still another improvement OF the
Pianola, which is today accepted throughout
the world as the standard Piano-Player Brief
ly speaking, the Themodist is device for ac-
centuating the theme or melody OF any given
composition.
1t causes certain notes to sound louder
than the others, and thus to stand out in proper
relief from the main body OF the piece. just as
would be done IN playing the same composition
by hand. 1t makes difference where the
accepted notes may lie anywhere along the
keyboard. No matter whether they are woven
into complicated musical texture, overlaid
with ornamentation, or lying in the midst of
chords, the Themodist adroitly picks them out
and relegates all the notes OF lesser importance
to the position the composer intended them to
occupy, as background to the main theme.
Any one having even rudirnentary un-
dcrstanding of piano-players will quickly ap-
preciate what an important stride forward such
an invention is. 1t carries the Pianola into
sphere OF musical and artistic value where even
the last remaining prejudice against instru-
ments OF this type must disappear Now in
deed we have performance which rivals that
OF great master of the piano and becomes
increasingly difficult to distinguish from actual
hand playing.
TO the surprising effects of this new invention
First, the Thenodist is heard accenting a
tender melody made up Of single notes run
ming through the composition until it is
brought to finale: then the mood Of the music
changes and in the higher octaves are sounded
several themes internlingling, rising in full
tlffoated song above the bass themes still fur
Their along this expressionsis exactly reversed
and deep bass themes come out to an accom-
paninent OF difficult subdued runs and trills
in the treble; now another theme. made up of
single notes, is accented exquisitely; and final
", perhaps, the composition closes in grand
massed-tone effect in which every chord the
full length of the piano keyboard is played in
one graduation of tone.
The performer can accomplish all these
remarkable effects without even being bothered
to pick out the proper notes for accent The
Themodist device determines which the proper
melody or accented notes are, and the playing
OF the instrument is simplicity itself, requiring
no more knowledge of music than any of the
previous models OF the Piapola
Yet the individuality of the performer is

VALLEJO sCHOOLTEACHERS

VALLEJO. Dec. S.--The Vallejo Board
of Education is facing a. serious situa-
ton in reference to many teachers in
the public schools of this city being
taken away by the surrounding bay
cities and towns. The salaries paid
here have always been well up in the
front rank, but the recent change of
conditions in California has caused
many teachers TO abandon the profess
sion and in many instances salaries
10 be raised. A special meeting will
be held to take steps for holding the
present teachers.

in no wise hampered, for the degree of accent,
the contrasts, and the general conception OF the
composition are still subject TO his taste.
Thus in the Themodist the only criticism
that could be justly made upon the Pianola is
completely overcome This new invention is
indeed worthy climax to all that has gone be-
fore i'll the development of the Pianola.
The Themodist is to be had only in the
Pianola, thus presenting still another in the
long chain OF reasons why the Pianola should
be chosen in preference TO any other piano
player The invention of the Themodist is
equally as important as
THE METROSTYLE
This, too. is exclusive with the Pianola
Although the great musical authorities have
pronounced it essential to an artistic piano
player no other instrument has any device
even remotely resembling it.
The Mctrostyle. in a word. is a device
which nsures an artistic rendition of any COM
position by setting before the performer de-
tailed guide for Interpretation. Any one who
is going to play the Pianola wants to play it
well. play it so that musician who happens to
be listening will applaud the performance II

great modern masters of music would have

Water System
Is Assured
Everybody FavOrs it and Town
Board Now Has Opportunity to
Put in Municipal Plant or In
terest Private Capital.

The meeting held Monday
evening for the purpose Of con-
sidering the securing of a water
system for this place was well
attended by the progressive
business men Of the city and
after considering the matter at
some length it was decided to
pass a resolution requesting the
board of village trustees to Sc
cure a water system for the vii
lage at the earliest possible
moment. This was done and the
matter now rests with the town
board.
At the meeting there was not
a single expression against the
installation of a water system,
the only question being whether
it should be municipality or pri-
vately owned and whether it
should be a pump or gravity sys-
tenn. All present were in favor
of the system being a municipal
one and owing to the heavy cost
of installing a gravity system
most of those present were in
favor Of a pump system as it is
thought the town can bond for
enough money to put in that
system. All agree that the
gravity system would be cheaper
in the long run but few feel like
seeing the town go too heavily
into debt to install a system of
that kind.
However, the matter now rests
with the town board and the
sooner they decide on a system
and commence the work of in
stalling it the better the citizens
will be suited. All feel the urg-
ent need of fire protection and
do not care so much which style
is provided so that it is provided
early. 1t is possible a vote to
pass bonds may be taken before
fall.

The postoffice department has
lately promulgated a new rule
applicable to the opening of let
ters by mistake. Heretofore
anyone who took a letter out of
the postoffice, not belonging to
them, and opened it, had only to
write across the end of the letter
''opened by mistake" and return
it to the postmaster. But
from now on this don't go. The
postofice department has ruled
that mail must be looked over be-
fore taken from the postoffice,
and that any letter placed in
your box by mistake must be re-
turned before leaving the Office
under a penalty of 5000 for fail
ure to do so. 1t will be we'll for
everyone to scrutinize all mail
carefully. A mistake that will
cost you 5000 is pretty expen-
sive, and one that few people can
afford to make. -Rathdrum Trib-
