Animals apo Music,

Tarantulas do not dance TO the sound
of the violin, but let the people they
bite do the dancing. Scorpions, how
ever, enjoy fddling. according to the
Westminster Gazette, and lizards so
crazy for music of any kind. AS for
serpents, the boa constructor and py-
then are senseess to melody. but the
cobra is fascinated by the fiute AMI
still more by the fiddle. Polar bears
enjoy the violin; SO do ostriches.
Wolves will stop in the chase to listen
to cornet. Elephants are fond of the
flute, especially the upper notes. Ii
gers, while approaching violin and
flute, cannot stand the harmonicon
while the musical seal shows no emo
ton on hearing any instrument, not
even the bass drum.

Appointment Starts Row.

The -Beveridge feUd had its
origin when Cromer was beaten by j.
A. NJ. Adair in the race for congress.
At that time Cromer asked the privi-
lege of naming the Muncie postmaster
and it was generally thought he want
ed the place himself. Senator BcFc,-
idge. however. fatty turned down Gro
mer and named G. 0. DrisCOll. as the
man. Later. when DriscolI was forced
out of the running by allegations that
he had been active in state legislature
Hobbies in behalf of the liquor interests
Senator Bcveridge settled upon Robe
Carl White. the present postmaster.
and recommended his appointment to
President Roosevelt
From that time to this Cromer has
had Senator Beveridge's name in large
letters on his role of political enemies
and the alleged activity of the Beyer-
idge forces in behalf of Miller as
against CrOmer's plans only added
more fuel to the flames of hatred.

ORIGIN OF THIS FEELING.

Muncie. Ind. Feb 21.-The long
standing political feud between George
w. Cromer. ex-congressman from the
Eighth district. and Senator Beveridge
has been revived because, as the Gro
mer followers allege. the friends and
influence of the senator were used too
audaciously in the republican prima
ries here in an effort to break Gro
mers plans and elect state delegates
favorable to the candidacy of Charles
". Miller for the republican governor
ship nomination.
The Cromerites Immediately declar
ed war on the senator. and plans for
revenge for his alleged intrusion-so
considered by the Cromeritos-a at once
were begun.
Apparently the principal objection of
the CromeriteS to the effort to name
Miller delegates in the county was that
Cromer should have been allowed TO
go along without interference in his
plan to reunite the strength OF the
party. He is bent upon the one idea
of harmoniZing the district again. and,
of course complete harmony in his own
county was regarded as the first nee
essary step. Without peace at home
! he could not very we'll try to settle off
ferences away from home, and for this
reason Cromer expected to be allowed
to work unhampered in Delaware coun-
ty.
Republicans who are neutral. so far
as the Cromer and anti-Cromer Gle
ments are concerned. do not look with
favor upon the fight upon Beveridge,
and the idea that Cromer would pre-
sumo TO take it upon himself to lay
plans for the defeat of United States
senator in an election to be held four
years in the future was considered typ
zeal of Cromer's political warfare. in
/ that he considers no task too large to
accomplish. and that he is willing to
spend years and years to get the scalp
of one man.

NO LODGINGS FOR EXHIBITS
TUBERCULOSIS CONGRESS EN-
BARRASSED BY PRESIDENT.
Old Pennsy Station, Ordered Torn
Down, to Have Been Used
for Storage Purposes.

The coming international congress on
tuberculosis. which will convene in Wash
ington September 81 to October II. and
which will bring scientists interested in
every phase of the disease. will meet in
the National Museum building now in
course Of construction.
For some time the officials of the con-
gress were at loss to secure a proper
bear to obtain the House of Representa-
committee considering the request did not
care to establish a precedent. The mu-
scum building was offered and accepted.
The work on the building is progressing
rapidly. Although a large portion of 1t
will not be ready for occupancy when the
congress convenes, there will be enough
floor space for all the exhibits of the
seven sections OF the congress, and also
rooms available for the many lectures
which will be delivered every day. Tenn
porary partitions will be put in so as to
make committee rooms and exhibition
halls.
The order of the President in regard to
tearing down the old Pennsylvania rail-
road station has seriously embarrassed
the congress. That building was to be
used for storing the thousands of exhibits
which will come from every part Of the
civilized world.
While the shipments from American cit
les can be controlled SO as to reach WASH
ington very close to the time of their use.
IL is not possible to control the foreign
shipments. Packages are expected to ar
rive at any time now. No building has
been secured as yet for their storage.
One of the most active foreign workers
in the anti-tuberculoss movement is
Isabel Maria Marjoribanks, Countess Of
Aberdeen. and daughter Of the Earl Of
Tweedmouth. For several years she has
done a mans work in Ireland in connec-
ton with matters pertaining to better
sanitary conditions. and is president OF the
Public Health League of Ireland.
While it has not been announced she
will visit Washington during the con-
gress, she is at present engaged In pre-
pairing an exhibit in competition for the
prize of 81, 600 offered for the best evidence
of effective work in the prevention or re-
lief of tuberculosis by any voluntary asso-
citation since the last international con-
gress in 1908.
Thomas Grant, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce. communicated early this
morning with DR.. Fulton, at the office of
the international congress on tuberculo-
sis and offered the use of the chamber S
offices for any committee meetings or any
other purpose. The active members OF the
Chamber of Commerce committee on con-
yentions are out of the city, but it is
expected that they will join forces with
Dr. Fulton in finding a suitable place for
the storage of exhibits.
