Senator Taylor a Bohemian,
But Not a Fiddler"

A. YEAR ago an article was written In
~ which Senator Taylor OF Tennessee
was called "Fiddlin Bob" and the
name stuck. Quite naturally this would
call to ones mind the picture of the tall
senator seated upon a platform fiddling
his way through ~his various campaigns.
1t is now asserted by one who speaks with
the authority of a lifelong friendship
with Mr.. Taylor that the aforesaid title
is misnomer of the most fragrant type.
The senator's private secretary, Laps
D. McCord, said that the noted
Tennessean is not. and never was,
fiddler" that though he is the possessor
of a fine voice and considerable knowl-
edge of music. he plays the fiddle but
crudely, and never in public.
II have known Senator Taylor since
we were boys together" said Mr.. McCord.
land I tell you that he never could play
the fiddle. He can saw out a tune In
way. but as to really playing he can't
do it, 1 have been where ten thousand
people were demanding tune from his
fiddle. and l never yet knew him to
respond. The only reason was that he
could not play, other. His brother
ALT. ex-member of Congress is a fiddler
that is worth while. now. He Is not a
violinist understand. but he is as fine
a fiddler as one could wish to hear He
has Ole Bull beat to finish. He doesn't
know as much as the senator about
technic and notes. and all that. but he
can fiddle and the senator cannot.
However, the senator could have made
his mark as an opera singer. If he had
chosen that instead of the lecture plat
form and politics. He is the finest i'm
personator of famous grand opera stars
I ever heard. This is something he can
do. and one never hears of 1t. while he
bears national reputation as fiddler,
and he can't fiddle.
"Apropos of music there is a good joke
which Senator Taylor perpetrated upon
himself at the Nashville centennial. AS
is usual at such affairs. there were diff
ferent days and. naturally. Senator Tay-
lor made the addresses of welcome on
these days. This series of addresses OF
welcome was fairly wonderful. On the
day set aside as Music day, he made one
of the best speeches he ever made. and
he held his audience spellbound by his
eloquence. OF course. there were several
composers and many great professors OF
music. men of worldwide renown. no
doubt who dwelt upon his words with
rapt attention, until he came to the men,
ton of the famous composers. He spoke
of the priceless gift Of music given to
the world through the med um of such
perfect masters as Wagner. Mendeissohn,
Beethoven Rubinstein. Tannhauser and
several others. Well. when he mentioned the
opera Tannhauser. as member Of the
immortal band. I saw a smile pass
over the faces of the distinguished
musicians and their kind. but. luckily.
Senator Taylor did not notice 1t.
"Afterward, when l told him OF II. he
said Say, Laps. did I do such thing
as THAR The addresses were later pub
lished in book form. but the quoted COM
poser did not appear in the illustrious

Spencer's "First Principles"

Spencer's "First Principles"
In Spencer's "First Principles he
endeavors to define the fields Of the
unknowable and the movable and
the postulates with which the studies
Of the movable must be pursued.
When Spencer writes that 1.-The man
Of science truly knows that in its ult-
mate essence nothing can be known"
he is not referring to mans brain yes
terday or today. He means that the
fundamental principles Of the universe.
like space, time, matter. force and mo-
ton, are by their very nature un-
movable. Since all mans knowledge
Of the cosmos can be traced back ulu-
mately to sense experience, and since
sense experience is not always relia-
BILE and much Of what he calls the
ultimate essence Is entirely inaccessi-
BILE to sense experience, it may be phil
osophically said that man cannot be
sure he really knows anything. Both
the strength and the weakness Of his
theory are due to the equivocal import
Of the term "knowledge."-New York

two CONVICTS ESCAPE
FROM CAPITOL MONDAY
BOTH MEN HAD BEEN SENT UP
FROM cAss COUNTY FOR
TWO YEARS.
Reported That They Were Seen =
Few Miles Northwest Of Town Short
Iy, After Noon.

John Renouf and Harry Smith, con
victs who were employed on the work
Of grading the street railway, escap
ed from their keepers Monday noon
and up to the time of going to press
have not been recaptured. There was
a report about town about o'clock
that two men had been seen running
at a high speed few miles north
of town about couple Of hours after
the escape was made, but so far as
is not known positively that they
were the escaped convicts. It seems
that one of the guards was called
away for few minutes and while
he was gone the men took advantage
of the fact that there was only one
man watching item, and made their
getaway.
Every nook and corner of the CAPT
toll building was searched, but with
out success. There are number of
the guards of the pen out about the
country at present and unless the
men succeed in securing other clothes
than their prison stripes it will mean
that there is still good chance that
they will be captured soon.
About O'clock yesterday afternoon
tracks were found near the Ward
ranch leading down to the river bot
tom, at which place the two had
parted company, one going in one
direction and one in another. Word
was hastily sent to the 9enitentiary
for the bloodhounds, which we're i'm
mediately sent out to take up the
scent. Nothing has been heard from
those having the dogs in charge.
John Renouf was sent up for grand
larceny and sentenced to two years
in the pen, and had about a year
lft to serve. He was sent up from
Cass county. Renouf is man 81
years of age, dark complexioned, with
dark hair and gray eyes; a high fore"
head, medium large nose, large mouth
and round chin and thin lips. He
weighs 147 pounds, If five feet and
three quarters inches tall, wears 8
rs hat and No. Z shoes.
Harry Smith was sent up from
Cass county about year ago and
was sentenced to serve a term Of
two years for forgery. He Is "a

held that owing to the complication
that had arisen, such as some Of the
petitioners having tapped a 4private
pipe, and were getting city Nater, he
did not believe the city had clear
case against the water company and
before action to annul the franchise
be taken he advised the commission
to await clear case. A long dis.
cussion Of the matter ensued and a
resolution was introduced n Com
missioner Jackson providing that in
the future no one should be allowed
to construct a private 1Aater pipe
through the streets of the city In
order to connect with water mains.
1t came to light that in compliance
with a petition. of ceveral ciicens of
upper Eighth street, the water COM
pany had extended the main one
block on that street, but the petition
had requested that the extension be
for two blocks, and now it is ex-
pected that the parties in the second
block will construct a private dine to
the main. Commissioner Lucas stat
ed that in all probability the main
would be extended upon the return Of
Col. Little. Commissioned Jackson
maintained that if this was the case
the passage of the resolution would
do no damage and that if PASSED 1t
would place the city in position
where It could demand the extension
of the main In the second block next
summer if the company did not see
fit to do the work this year. All the
commissioners vote aye on the pro-
position. ~.:. a.. ..,
Commissioner Marquett introduced
a resolution requesting the commits
sioner of water works to ascertain
from the water company the cost Of
furnishing water, per 1000 gallons
to private consumers for household,
bath and lawn purposes.
There being no further business the
commission adjourned to Monday
night O fnext week.
