(NK TITHIN the last several years the
M harp has become very popular
among women" recently declared
Miss Dorothy Johnstone, widely
known as one of the leading harpists in this
country. "The instrument has won favor par
ticularly IN the West.
"The harp, as an instrument Of melody is
wonderful. Besides, a woman looks well at the
harp; in fact, Is more graceful at it than at any
other instrument. In learning the harp there
is not the drudgery that accompanies learning
to play some other instrument. Ones interest
Is maintained IN learning that 1t Is a pleas
ure-a great pleasure.
"In many homes children are learning the
harp, quite a number of society women have
taken 1t up, and it is taught IN most convent
schools Women are beginning to realize the
beauty of the music and the artistic possibil
ties of the instrument. And appearance at an
instrument certainly is an important -considera-
tion with most women"
There are in use in this country, according
to an authority, between 500 and 1000 harps.
This is a tremendous gain In popularity, con-
sidering the number in vogue not many years
ago. Now almost every large city in the coun-
try boasts Of one or more celebrated woman
harpist.
Among the best known are Madame Clara
Murray and Miss Helena Ston,, of Chicago;
Miss Maud Morgan and Miss Avice Boxall. of
New York city; Madame Margaret Wunderle,
of Pittsburg; Madame Inez Carusi, of San
Francisco; Miss Harriette Straw. of Boston;
Madame Lovejoy, of Grand Rapids, Mich; Miss
Anita Cluss, of Washington, D. c.. and Madame
Dufriche, of the Metropolitan Opera, New York

leaders IN New YoFk city.
To the romantic-and what one of US is
without romance G-the harp must appeal as the
one instrument above all others fitted
women. 1t is the instrument of kings and poets.
Its past is invested with the glory of romance.
1t charmed the ear in the days of King David,
Nlesiu5 and Mary Queen of Scots. In its
primitive forms it was known to the peoples of
the very ancient world.
The early harps, however, were much unlike
the modern instrument and it is because of the
marvellous perfection of the modern form that
it has been gaining in popularity within the last
few years

with proper study, young person should

after taking up the study" she continued. The
harp is more expensive to keep than a piano.
1t will need stringing three or four times year,
at a cost of S16 each time. A person should take
two lessons week, and practice several hours
day. Lessons cost So to $5 each. Harps range
in price from about S400 to more than $1,000.
MANY persons who can afford piano can
not afford a harp. Among the women who
afford it 1t is being taken up enthusiastically.

in New York twenty years ago, there now

 HAVE AROUSED
 THE PRESIDENT
He Will Send Special Message to Congress Upon Receipt of Report He Is Having Made On Recent 0utrages.

WASHINGTON, D. O., April G. Aroused by recent anarchfstic out bursts, President Roosevelt has in serious contemplation steps to put an end to the movement against govern ment and those in authority
 In accordance with an instruction given him some days ago Attorney General Bonaparte is making an ex- haustive investigation to ascertain if there is sufficient law to enable the executive branch of the government to suppress anarchy While this in- vestigation is not yet concluded, he has come to the conclusion that fur ther enactments are necessary He will submit his report to the Presi- dent within a few days, and a special message to congress will follow with .out delay
 There is no doubt the president is grimly in earnest in this matter. In the memorandum he sent to the At. torney General regarding the exclu- sion from the maifs. he suggested the criminal pro secutior of the men interested in the preparation and circulation of the publication. Ob- serving this suggestion, Mir Bona parte has instructed the district at torney for the Northern district of New Jersey to co-oeprate with the To- cal authorities at Paterson.
 A similar policy of cooperation between the Federal and State au- thorities will be pursued in connec- tion with the bomb outrage in Union Square, New York. on Saturday.
 Anarchists will be reached in every way possible. Those who have been in the country less than three years, may, under existing law, be Ileport- ed. Those who are American citi- zens will be closely watched and in formation as to their movements will be used both for the benefit of this and foreign governments The circulation of anarchistic literature through the mails will be prevented and the authors, publishers, and cir 1ators of the literature will be prose cuted.
 Every Department Engaged.
 It is evident from this that every interested department of the govern ment is engaged in the movement to prevent the spread of anarchism and the occurrence of it's manifestations in America.
 From the national to the interna- tional cooperation is but a step, and if congress shall grant the necessary authority the president will make

this is meant that the ability to find

a proof Of wise government. On those

block No. 81 Of the West Shore Rail-
road, just west Of the entrance to the
Weehawken tunnel, says the New York
Tribune.
The device looks like a big iron hogs
head sunk in the ground. Inside is a
wheel with twenty spokes. On each of
the spokes is tin-cased torpedo at
tached to an arm, and the duty of the
complicated cogs and levers beneath the
simple looking wheel is to thrust out
these torpedoes upon the track so that
the drivers of an engine may cause
them to explode.
Mr.. Zorge's system places in each
block" Of a railroad three circuits,
approach" locking" and danger"
The length of block is determined by
the nature Of the traffic, and at the
Weehawkee tunnel it Is mile. A
train passing the approach circuit acts,
through its iron wheel and axles. as a
conductor which carries the electric
current from the point where it is re-
ceived across to another wire, through
which it runs to the armature beside
the torpedo machine. When the train
passes beyond the point, mile distant,
1t similarly readjusts the current, leav-
ing the entrance to that block clear.
| The point Of the device is that 1t
while the train is running through the
block another train should come along
SO close behind as to pass the approach
circuit this contact would de-energize
| the current. Then the mechanism of
the signal would be set working and
one Of the spokes would be thrust out
to the track surface and hold torpedo
there to be exploded. The conclusion
would put the engineer on his guard
if he had not noticed the semaphore
signal.
