OLD VlOLlNS.
The Best Method of Finding Out
Their True Value.


Very often somebody thinks that he
or she has a small fortune locked up
in a fiddle case. The somebody does
not know much about violins. but has
heard or read that an old violin is
very valuable thing, and because
grandfather happened to leave vio-
lin, to assume duties upon the harp,
somebody Immediately believes that
grandfather's violin is q treasure. AS
a matter of fact, ninety-nine times
out of a hundred grandpa invested in
a ten dollar fiddle and played "Suwa-
nee River" and Annie Laurie" When
he bought it the violin was worth $40,
but since then it has been depreciat-
ing in value at the rate of about 10
cents year. From the mere fact
that most of the varnish is scratched
off and there are several cracks in the
instrument it does not follow that it is
IN ''old one"
If a violin is good to start with it
will improve with age and good care,
but. on the other hand, poor fiddle
is not benefited to any extent if it sur
wives century or two.
Don't Judge Il violin by the label
inside of it. Anybody can copy an old
name and date and paste it in. If all
the violins bearing a Stradivarius Ia
bel were his, poor old Antonius would
be working yet. More than half of the
cheap, worthless violins bear copies of
oil nr,s 10h nd
even some real old and good instru-
ments have been passed off as the
work of Amati. Guarneri, Magini and
| other famous makers
Any one having a violin with the la
bel of a comparatively unknown maker
is likely to be the owner of a more val
liable instrument than the person
whose fiddle is marked "Antonius
Stradivarius."
There is only one way to find ou
whether or not a violin is living up tt
its name. and that is to get the judg
ment of good dealer. If he tells yol
that your violin is no good, but still
offers to buy it. you may be quite Ger
tain that you have good fiddle. Blu
don't sell it. Take it to some othe
authority and see what he says, bu
don't make bargain. You will hea
from him if your violin is genuine, fo
the supply of valuable ones is smal
and great rivalry exists among dealer
to secure masterpieces.
A great many people have the ide
that all the very good instruments ar
the output of half dozen old geniuse
when the truth is that there are score
of old as well as quite modern maker
whose works bring very high prices

Actor Instantly Killed In Leap From
Burning Hotel.
Chester, Pa, March Am an effort
to escape from a burning hotel, John
Comfy, a comedian of the Vanity Fair
company, was instantly killed by jump
ing from window of the Arcade ho-
tel at Sixth and Market streets, where
the theatrical company was stopping.
The flames broke out on the first floor
of the building, and cut off the escape
of all the members of the company.
Firemen were on the scene before the
flames gained much headway, and
rescued all the occupants of the hotel
except Comfy, who semed to have lost
his presence of mind and jumped from
the third-story window, despite the
warning of the firemen. Mrs. Watson
also a member of the company, was
severly burned. She is in a hospital in
q serious condition. The monetary
loss will amount to about $4,000.

In some of the rural districts OF

one of the other pupils, who take turns
at performing this duty. Later the
vegetables are placed in kettle will

At 1870 each scholar has a bowl o

Why Do Plants Grow Erect7

PENNSY TRAINMEN
VOTE TO STRIKE
Men at Harrisburg, EnOla and Sun

SOME DEMANDS ARE REFUSED

Harrisburg, Pa, March 2.-The men
of the Harrisburg yards of the Penn
sylvania railroad are said to to have
voted 20 per cent. for a strike. Enola
and Sunbury are also reported to have
east a heavy strike vote.
The first official announcement of
the position of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen in the controversy
with the company was made public
here. The announcement is addressed
to all trainmen of the Pennsylvania
railroad east of Pittsburg and Erie
and explains in full the Brotherhood's
side OF the contentious which have
resulted in a strike vote on the whole
eastern section of the system.
The men demand aeshorter day and
more equitable wage scale, and they
claim that for several years they have
endeavored to obtain from the company
uniform wage schedule and code of
rules applicable to working conditions,
which schedule would show employees
just what compensation they were en-
titled to receive for service performed.
In the main a code of rules was
worked out recently at a conference
between the company officials and the
grievance committee, but the trainmen
claim there are a number OF rules
which involve an increase, which Gen
eral Manager Atterbury refuses &c
grant.
The announcement concludes as fol.
lows:
while it is not our intention to say
anything on the subject matter tha
will influence our members from fairly
and justly considering this Statement
as submitted, yet we believe, in jus
tice to you, you should know that th'
general manager has not given tn
consideration which 1t merited, as w
have been since December until tn
present time trying to negotiate a set
tlement which, owing to the genera
managers attitude, has been very ex
pensive to our members"

bers of the grievance committee an
