The Boston Heralds' explanation of Moran's
election is that the people preferred to trust
him to prosecute the Boston municipal grafterS
rather than either of the other candidates. The
citizens feel very keenly the subject of the
city's great debt. and recent revelations as to
the way municipal supplies have been bought
probably helped Moran, for neither of the other
candidates was particularly impressive.

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


Very often somebody thinks that he
or she has a small fortune locked up
in Il fiddle case. The somebody does
not know much about violins. but has
heard or read that an old violin is q
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
matter of fact. nnety-nine times
out of hundred grandpa Invested in
ten dollar fiddle and played 'Suwa-
nee River and Annie Laurie" When
he bought 1t 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
an "old one"
If violin Is good to start with it
will improve with age and good care,
but. on the other hand. a poor fiddle
is not benefited to any extent If 1t sur
wives II century or two.
Don't judge violin by the label
inside of it. Anybody can copy an old
name and date and paste it in. If all
the violins bearing Stradivarius Ia
bel were his. poor old Antonius would
be working yet. More than half OF the
cheap. worthless violins bear copies of
his or some other masters label. and
even. some real old and good instru-
ments have been passed of us the
work of Amati. Guarneri. Magini and
other famous makers.
Any one having a violin with the Ia
bel Of comparatively unknown maker
Is likely to be the owner Of more val
uable Instrument than the person
whose fiddle is marked "Antonius
Stradivarius." f.
There Is only one way to find out
whether or not a violin Is living up to
its name. and that is to get the judg-
ment of a good dealer. If he tells you
that your violin is no good. but still
offers to buy it. you may be quite GER
tain that you have a good fiddle. But
don't sell it. Take it to some other
authority and see what he says, but
don't make a bargain. You will hear
from him If your violin is genuine for
the supply of valuable ones is small
and great rivalry exists among dealers
to secure masterpieces.
A great many people have the idea
that all the very good instruments are
the output Of a half dozen old geniuses
when the truth Is that there are scores
of old as well as quite modern makers
whose works bring very high prices

Costly Windsor -CnstLe.

No royal castle has cost Great
Britain more in hard cash than that
of Windsor. says the London Chron-
icle. When George w. announced his
intention Of making it a family resi-
dence parliament granted him 100000
toward it's reconstruction. For four
years the work went merrly on under
fresh grants. and the king then took
possession OF the private apartments.
That did not end the expenditure how
ever. By the time William ". had
satisfied himself that there was moth
ing more TO be done the castle had
swallowed up close to million
