THE PIANIsr's VACATION.
Oondon News.)

An interesting holiday story has got
into circulation concerning a famous
pianist Unable to tear himself alto
gether away from his art while enjoy
ing a rest in Switzerland, he had a
piano taken to a secluded chalet in a
wood, and every day went there alone
to solace himself. BY chance one day
some one stTayed into the wood and,
hearing the music, spent a pleasant
hour drinking in the sounds from the
closely shattered chalet, Next day he
went again with some friends. At the
end Of a week the virtuoso discovered
that a big crowd was enjoying his per-
Torrance. At first he felt inclined to
blame this intrusion on his solitude;
but better thoughts prevailed. and dur
ing the remainder of his stay he threw
open the shutters and played his very

For a long time engineers have been
thinking over the problem Of providing
safeguarding electric engines that
might run over existing railways with
| out necessitating the provision Of spe-
cial electric equipment. In the new tur-
bine electric engine an attempt is made
to solve this problem.
According to the makers description
Of the engine, steam is generated in a
| boiler as in the ordinary steam locomo-
tive. From the boiler the steam is led
to a turbine running at the rate of 5000
revolutions a minute. To this turbine
| is coupled a continuous current, Vari-
able voltage. dynamo or generator. This
| dynamo supplies electrical energy to
| the four driving axles of the locomo-
| tive.
The exhaust steam, being free from
/ oil. is condensed and returned to the
boiler again and again. All the ma
| chinery is easily controlled from the
drivers foot plate.
| Years Of experiment and much money
| had been expended on this engine. 1t
| is chiefly the question Of cost of con-
| struction that is at present unsettled.
An extraordinary story was related at
an inquest held at Cardiff on the body
Of Violet Martin, the young wife of a
| Dostman, who was found suffocated by
gas in her bedroom. Anthony Bennett,
| her stepfather, said last week he asked
her why she was SO depressed, and she
replied that a fortune-teller had told
her that her mother was very i'll. She
added:

look into the crystal. I saw myself sit
ting in chair deliberately committing
suicide with gas"
A verdict of suicide during tempo

LEE AND SONG.

If life were caught by a clarionet~
And a wild heart, throbbing in the reed
Should thrill it's joy and thrill its fret,
And utter it's heart In every deed.
Then would this breathing clarionet
Type what the poet fam would be;
For none Of the singers ever yet
Has wholly lived his minstrelsy.
Or clearly sung his true, true thought,
Or utterly bodied forth his life,
Or out of life and song has wrought
That perfect one of man and wife;
Or lived and sung, that Life and Song
Might each express the others all,
Careless If life or art were long,
Since both were one, to stand or fall.
So that the wonder struck the crowd,
Who shouted about the land
His song was only living aloud,
His work, q singing with his handl

| Minneapolis, Feb. 16.--Fearng that
| accomplices of the noted desperate
/ may attempt to hold up the train,
Frank Shercliffe will be returned to
Colorado in secret
Since Governor John A. Johnson has
finally honored the requisition papers
Sheriff j. W. Dwyer of Leadville, Colo,
VINO has been in Minneapolis two
weeks, will leave for the west with his
prisoner within the next three days.
Just when or by what course is a.
secret that is known to only a few
officials.
Shercliffe will be disguised in such
a way that he will not be readily
recognized. and accompanied by Sher-
III Dwyer and deputy, the trip to
Leadville will be made. The object
of the mystery surrounding the de-
parture of the prisoner is in order
to avoid curious crowd gathering
at the station when he leaves Mime
apolis, or his arrival being heralded
at Leadvlle.
The thing most feared tho, is that
Shercliffess departure from Minneap-
oils may be known TO friends and his
escape planned and pulled off en-
route.
After being sentenced to twenty
i've years AT Leadville for murder
Shereliffe escaped from the train as
he was being taken 10 the state pen
itentiary. The exact manner in which
the getaway" was accomplished has
never been Learned, but it is known
that friends of the convict made es-
cape possible.
After Shercliffe's capture at Knox
vile. when he was being brought to
Minneapolis, the local officers think
that their vigilance frustrated a plan
made for his escape by friends who
were on the train.
Owing to the delay in securing the
requisition papers from Colorado it is
really up to Judge w. c. LeaRy of the
municipal court to say when Sher-
cliffe can be started back to the Canon
City penitentiary The prisoner is now
under the jurisdiction of the munici-
pal court, as he has demanded and
been given a partial hearing on his
second arrest for train robbery in this
city.
The case has been delayed from
time to time awaiting the requisition
papers, as it is not desired to try him
here again. When the hearing was
called again yesterday afternoon
county Attorney Smith conferred with
Judge Leary on the subject and moved
that the case be dismissed against
the prisoner. thus allowing Colorado
to take the man at once.
Shercliffea or Morris, is willing to
go to Colorado, as he expects to secure
a new trial there. He said that If he
had been brought to trial here again
on train robbery charge he would
have been able to produce sensational
evidence showing that some of his
witnesses had been inundated by To-
cal people until they were afraid to
come to his first trial.
