as waste space has been looking into the question of it's future with the one throusht in mind that 1t would serve as splendid resting place for the hon. orea dead for whom there will be little room in the Abbey itself after another decade.
 Extreme difficulty Is even now being experienced in finding places for the dead of the nation who are worthy of a resting place as distinguished as that or the Abbey There Is a vast wealth or monuments, some of them old, some or them modern. some of them hideous, put crowding every inch of availab bie space
 It Is possible to save the situation by breaking down the partitions which separate the chapel from the remaining buildings in the cloister and there will then be at the disposal of the authori- ties long and deeply interesting build- ing the only portion which times de- stroyfng~ hand has left of the work of Edward the Confessor. The chapel of the Pyx. instead of being consigned to dirt and decay can be made to supply amply the room which the greater church of the Abbey lacks and will con- tinue to lack.
 Probably no great length of time will elapse before the Pyx will be opened again and put to good use.

DIMINUTIVE PRISONERS FALL
 INTO CLUTCHES OF DEPUTIES

Tuesday was TChildren's Day" at the county jail, judging from the size Of the prisoners taken into custody. There were two. and they were little and sleek and black. But they were also bad, and probably deserve the in- generation.
 York Smith, one of a bunch of youthful vandaIs. for whom the off'- cers of city and county have searched long and in vain, was arrested Tues day by Deputy Clements. The young pirate had stolen, from negro hos telry on Tallapoosa and Lee Streets tUto orips belonging 70 guests. The deputy was notified over the telepnone that the little negro had been seen on the streets, rifing two grips of then contents in a manner rife with sus- picIon. The officer set out at once. traced the little robber seven miles in tha country, coming upon him on the side of the road. But York Smith was willy, and. seeing the officer made for A nearby swamp. through which MT Clements chased him for good distance. before effecting the capture.
 It is likely that the arrest will lead to the disclosure of the identities of the entire band. which has long been a source of anxiety to the officers.
 Another diminutive criminal was Jesaa Reeves, who was arrested by nenntv Frank Pettus for the theft of S2l5O from the store of Ben Carter in Chisholm. Jesse, so he confesses had slipped into the store. and had taken the cash from the drawer in | which it re posed.

OLD ORGAN
 IS RENEWED Westninster's Historic Instrument Repaired A LONG, LONG HISTORY Associated With Great English
 Musicians. The Abbey Organ First Came Into No- tice as Far Back as 1242-
 Then Portable Instru-
 meat Until Ieo2.
LONG HISTORY

London, Dec. 1.-The famous organ of Westminster Abbey Is once more ready for use. For several months It has been silent in order that it might be modernized and brought up to date, process that was not easy bT reason of the antiquity of the instru- ment. With the exception of the echo organ added in 1895 and an improved blowing apparatus provided at the time of the coronation, nothing has been done during the term of Sir Frederick Bridge. the distinguished organist, who has been in charge of the Abbey music for thirty-three years.
 The Dean and Chapter of Westmin- ster have been making an attempt to maintain the great musical traditions which they have inherited and the re- building of the organ is In line with this determination. The result Is that England's most famous church Is now supplied with. an instrument which so far as the cath edrals are concerned Is second to none.
 It was surprising to find that the Abbey organ first came into notice so far back as 1242. It is quite unneces- sary, probably. to say that it was of the humblest order and was portable. It was not until about 1606 that an or- gan of any dimensions came into use but there is a record in that year that . stately organ gilt" had been placed on the north side of the church under the second arch west of the transept and just above the spot where today lie buried that splendid galaxy of Eng list musicians, Balfe, Bennett, Pur- cell. Blow, Croft and Arnold.
 Edward Hooper was the first regu- lar organist and he appears to have come into ofice with the new organ In 1906 and to have stayed for twenty years or so as one of the fathers of English church music then held the post for . brief period. This was the famous Orlando Gibbons whose mem- ory was honored only a year ago by a great musical festival fn the Abbey. Ills successors seem to have achieved no great distinction with the possible exception of his son Christopher who was created a Doctor of Music at Ox- ford in 1864 despite the fact that 'he would often sleep at morning prayer when he was to play the organ"
 The real musical rise of Westmin ster dates from 1869 and extended over some three score years. John Blow and his noble anthems; William Croft,

 ED CLOSELY.
She Admits That Her Married Life Was Net Happy, Due to POverty-Magistrate Had
 Loved Her.

Paris. Dec., 1--Madame Steinheil suspected of the murder of her hus- band last May, was examined at length this morning by Magistrate Andre al the Palace of Justice.
 The interrogation will continue for two days and the magistrate will de- eide from the evidence whether "the reconstruction" of the crime in the presence of Madame Steinheil will be necessary.
 In order to avoid any manifestation the woman was removed in a closed van at daylight from the St. LaSare prison to the Palace of Justice
 Madame Steinheil was subjected to a gruelling cross examination during the morning session. but the greatest secrecy regarding what transpired is being observed.
 The Ministry of Justice is conduct ing a parallel investigation into the handling of the case. up to several days age by Magistrate Leydett When Premier Clemenceau insisted upon knowing what M. Leydett's'rela. tions with Madame Steinhen had been the magistrate said to him:

 The examination of Mime. Steinheil which dealt entirely with the married life of the SteinheiIs elicited the i'm portant fact the artist and his wife were always in financial straits, de- spite the presents which Mime. Stein hell received from her numerous ad- mirers. She admitted that the rela- tions between herself and husband were strained almost from the first
