NEW MUSICAL INVENTION
INTRODUCED In LONDON
Records Music as Fast as it is Com.
posed.

London, August 29.-TMare seems
to be no end to the wonderful inven-
tlons of automatic machines and me-
chanical appliances. The auto-music-
ograph is the name of the latest, Don
Angelo Barbieri being the inventor.
signor Barbieri has arrived in Lon
don for the purpose of Introducing
this marvellous machine to those in
terested in musical matters in this
country.
AS the name of the instrument shows,
it is capable OF recording music as
fast as it is written or composed. All
the player or composer needs to do is
to play his piano while the instrument
faithfully records every note produced.
That the instrument is practical and
more than a mere plaything. is evil
dent, for no less person than Mas
cagni is using it as a means of re-
cording his new opera.
1t is said that the cost of the instru-
ment will be about $3.50 and should
1t prove to be as successful as it is
anticipated, it will doubtless find ],
good market not only in England. but
IN other countries of the world.

ening, DR. James Frank Cato, one OF

pired suddenly in the presence of low

upon a visit
The end came both peacefully and
quickly, and those about him doub+-
less thought he had fallen asleep UNI
tin they attempted in vain to arouse
him.
Telegrams announcing his death
were received here yesterday.
In view Of his precarious health for
months past the announcement of the
passing Of this venerable and beloved
man caused 30 surprise here. He was
76 years of age, and the weight CT
years, together with his generally en-
feebled condition rendered the end
rather expected.
LII. cato nad resided IN Sumter cOun-
ty the greater portion of his long am
useful life and in the practice of his
profession was widely known in this
section.
During the civil war he was in the
service of the Confederacy, and since
then he has resided at his home near
Plains. and in Americus. He is sur
vived by three sons, Doctors Frank
and r. E. Cato; ]. P. Cato, and two
daughters, Mrs. A. Fl. Black and Mrs.
William Hudson, of Plains.
The remains were brought here
Monday afternoon and carried on to
his former home at Plains for burial
this morning at 10 o'clock.
