Music and Character,

Good music is a powerful tonic to
many people. especially those suffering
from melancholia. 1t lifts them out of
their solemn moods, dispels gloom and
dependency. kills discouraged feelings
and gives new hope, new life and new
vigor. 1t seems, says the editor of
Success Magazine, to put great many
people into proper tune. 1t gives them
the keynote of truth and beauty,
strikes the chords of harmony, dispels
discord from the life, scatters clouds
and brings sunshine. All good music
Is character builder, because its con-
slant suggestion of harmony, order
and beauty puts the mind into a nor
NAL attitude. Music clears the cob
webs out of many minds, so that they
can think better, act better and live
better. Some writer's are dependent
upon music for their inspiration and
their moods. Somehow it brings the
muse to them. 1t adds brilliancy to
the brain, and facility to the pen,
which they cannot seem to get in any
other way. Good music seems to give
us touch of the divine, and to put
us In contact with divinity. 1t drives
out evil thoughts, making us ashamed
Of them. 1t lifts us above petty an
noyances and little worries of life, and
gives US a glimpse of the ideal which
the actual Is constantly obscuring.

you that it is the only sure road to the
presidency, and also to Jail. When the
parents of likely youth discover that

other of the two positions have

delay. It Is also corrolary Of ease
and perfect rest for some, and bitter
strife and bald heads for others. II a

constant change he turns to criminal
law and he gets it. If he be restful
and predisposed to slumber he seeks
a pull that will land him on the judi
cial bench. In either case he is likely
to fall foul Of trouble. but in one case
the calm judicial mind bids him pass it
over, and in the other the hustling at
mosphere of criminality in which he
has been 'delving bids him take his
medicine coolly. AS one of our emil
nent financiers has said, Oily, the
law was made for slaves and he
proved IT. The law originally was in

but somehow that intention got side

otherwise. Would you steal a railroad,

first and he will tell you how to do It
without danger. In fact, Dilly, smart

DUE TO NATURAL CAUSES.
Coroner's Certificate Regarding Death
Of William q. Bailey.

OF William Z. Bailey.
In answer to a call from the police, Coro-
ner J. Ramsey hewitt visited the hall at
HOS E street yesterday forenoon to view
the remains of William T. Bailey. forty
years of age, who had been found dead In
the soreroom In the building by Samuel
Cook His death, the coroner found, had
been caused by an acute attack of gas
tritis, and certificate was given accord
ingly.
When deceased was found, the body was
sitting bolt upright In chair in the little
storeroom away from the main hall. The
crown Of his derby hat was broken and
blood was trickiing from his mouth and

lent means. The theory of violence was.
however, quickly disproven after the inves-
tigation by Coroner hewitt. Bailey was a
member of the Carriage and Wagon Work
efs' Union, now on strike. and the build
ing in which his remains were found Is
used as headquarters for the strikers His
home was at 716 It'll street southwest. It
was stated to the coroner that Bailey was
under the influence of liquor Saturday night
when several OF his friends saw him. He
went to the storeroom and seated himself
upon chair and remained there all night.
Samuel Cook called at the hall yesterday
morning about 10 o'clock, and 1t was when
he opened the door to the storeroom to get
good circulation Of afr In the other rooms
that he discovered the dead body Of Bailey
Mr.. John G. Schmidt, business agent of
the Bakers Union, closed the hall late Sat-
urday night at the conclusion OF meet
Ing of that organization, but was not aware
that Bailey was In the little ante room
Upon finding the body he notified the police
of his discovery.
After the coroner had given the neces-
sary certificate OF death the remains were
turned over to an undertaken to be prepared
