composer and player, the deficiencies OF Virgina'
spinet and harpsichOrd became manlfest- Even
the most elaborate and perfect OF the guinea
machines, the harpschOrd, was a souiiess thing-
1t was impossible to vary the quanuty anu
quality of it's tone sufficiently to make IT an ex-
pressfve instrument, and it is very si8nincahI
to this study in all it's aspects that the greatest
musicians of two centuries ago, while they were
obliged to compose for the harpslchord anu
give it their preference in the concert ROOM
nevertheless as we know from Bachs example
(but of that more anon), used the crude and
sinnpIer cIavichord as the medium OF their pri-
vate communings with the muse.
Imperfect and weak it was, the cavichOrd
had vet the capacity in some degree TO aug
ment and diminish the tone at the viii or the
pIaver. The tone of the other instruments was
not ineptIv described as "a scratch with
note at the end OF it, Efforts Unceasing were
made to increase and give variety to the tone
hut in vain. The defect was fundamental The
earliest attempts at improvement seem to have
been directed to the jacks. The quill points had
an unfortunate habit of wearing out rapidly,
and when player sat down to his instrument
in a fine frenzy of inspiration he sometimes had

to stop and put in new quilts as We'll as to tune
it. So substitutes for goose and crow qu1lls
were sought for and fish bone, stiff cloth,
leather metal and other materials were tried.
The principle, however, always remained the
same and the defect was never remedied: the
jacks twanged the strings, and twanged them
with uniform Ioudness. For the sake of yart-
ETY. in tonaI effects dampers of various kinds
We're also invented to check and modify the
vibration of the strings after they had been
twanged; and, later, strings were added which
could be plucked simultaneously with the orig
inal set by an additional of jacks. These
added strings were first tuned in unison with
the others, so that just twice the amount of
tone resulted from their use, but Fuckers, of
Antwerp, the most famous harpsichOrd builder
of his time conceived the idea Of adding an ex-
ira system of strings tuned in the octave above,
which could be coupled to the original system
at will. The front of the harpsichord, which
was the instrument to which most of these i'm
prOvements were attached. came in time to look
something like the console of an organ, with its
draw stops, pedals and knee swells.
The builders also used different kinds of metal
in their strings for the sake of added effects,
and since the quantity of tone could not be
varied by the touch of the player, the swell box
sound board of the instrument being covered
with series of shutters, like the so-called
Venetian blinds which could be opened and
closed by the player by pressure of his foot

How Shall We Vote :?

The present ballot law is a scheme
connected by hide bound partisans to
destroy the very purpose for which the
Australian form of ballot was, orig
inally, designed. The whole State,
Congressional, and County tickets being
joined together and voted for by a
single mark at the top. This is the
main reason why no Democrats are
ever, as rule, in the Senate-th the rea-
son, in fact, why half of the State Sena-
tors get their election after nomination,
on account of its being made so easy to
vote straight and so abstruse for the
ordinary voter to cut single name
upon any of the different tickets.
Now let it be bruited abroad, as far
as possible, that the only true and man
ly way to vote is to put cross against
the name of every candidate voted for
on each and every ticket. Although it
is now privilege, rather than a neces-
sity, let us both set the example and do
our best to incite those around us to do
likewise Even though we vote per-
fectly straight" swallow Mead and
everything, let us do it by putting a
mark against every name, and incite
others to do the same.
And let US demand from the next Leg
islature, as first and primal duty, to
correct this ballot law, and put il where
reason, justice, and the author of the
Australian ballot, designed it.

Tho Old lime SURGEON.

Before anaesthetics were known the
surgeons only expedient was to abridge
his patients sufferings by working
rapidly. In this the old time surgeons
did wonders. They had a control and
a surety in their hands that are now
seldom found. One day the celebrated
surgeon Maisonneure had to amputate
the leg Of a poor devil, who began to
howl in advance. "Ill give you my
watch" said the surgeon, "if the oper-
alton lasts more than minute" The
man accepted the offer. but was oblig-
ed to forego the handsome watch, as
the operation took less time than it re-
quires to describe. To amputate an
arm at the shoulder is most difficult
operation. DR.. Langenbeck Of Ger
many did it in two minutes. A young
physician who came to see him per
form the operation adjusted his spec
tacles to his nose so as not to lose a
single movement, but when the spec
tacles were in place the operation was
over and the severed arm lay on the
floor. Times have changed much since
then.

4 DEAD AND MORE DYING.
Merrick, L. l., Gatetender Blamed
for Smash.

New York, Aug. "a. - Mrs. Bertha
Glass, who was injured in the collision
between work train and an automobile
in which she was riding at the Merrick
crossing of the Long Island R. r. yes
terday, died this morning, which runs
the death list up to four.
Of eight others who were injured in
the accident two and possibly three are
expected to die.
Eye-witnesses questioned by the coro-
ner asserted that the catastrophe was
due to the negligence of William Peach,
who raised the gates and permitted the
automobile to get in the path of the
work train. Peach is under arrest.
In his own defence Peach told the cor
oner that he had raised the gates after
freight train had passed, but did not
know that the work train was approach
ing in the opposite direction because of
the rumble of the heavy freight train.
Peach was later arraigned on charge
of criminal negligence and held in $1,000
bail, which he was unable to furnish.
The dead are: J. Berbon, so, New
York City, the chauffeur, and Bertha
Weiss. II, New York City, niece of the
owner of the car; Rebecca Glass, New

The Washington Times of August 16
published the following:
1.-TWO important changes were made
in the personnel of the Postoffice De-
partment today by Postmaster General
Hitchcock, prior to his departure this
afternoon on tour of the far West.
''E. H. Thorp, superintendent of the
division of city delivery, at So, 600 per
annum, was promoted to be superintend-
ent of the division of salaries and allow
ances, at 1000 year. He succeeds c.
M. Waters, who was recently trans
ferred to Denver as a division superin-
tendent on his own request.
Theodore ingalls,, chief clerk in the
division of postoffice inspectors, was
promoted to the chief clerkship in the
office of the Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter General, succeeding R. M. Pindell,
Jr. who has become chief clerk of the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
'Mr. ingalls, entered the Government
service from Kentucky as railway
mail clerk, and Mr.. Thorp came in from
Vermont as an inspector. The rise OF
both men in the service has been rapid
and Mr.. Hitchcock let it be known that
the promotions We're won by their value
to the department.
Mr.. Thorp was for several years the
editor and one of the owners of the
Register and is pleasantly remembered
by many friends who will congratulate
him on his promotion.

College Entertainers Score a Hit

The recital in Addison House parlor
by Messrs. Thayer, Reynolds and Davi-
son, which was promised for Friday
evening, Aug, 10, came off according to
program, and was listened to with great
pleasure by the guests of the hotel.
The musical part of the entertainment
rendered by Mr.. Thayer, the pianist,
was well executed, and Mr.. Reynolds,
the violinist, played with great skill
and expression. MIR Dawson, in his
six rectatons, in which both the seri-
Gus and the comical We're represented,
showed fine evolutionary ability. 1t is
sometimes said, and with too much rea-
son, that good reading is almost lost
art. This of course is equally true of
recitations also. Mere mimicry of the
grotesque or the ludicrous is compare
lively easy. But Mr.. Dawson has the
far more rare and valuable talent of
being able to recite narrative and seri-
Gus pieces with correct force, express
sion and feeling.
The performers carry with them the
congratulations and best wishes of the
audience.

HOW TO GET OUT THE VOTE
Candidates Mead and Slack Meet
Addison County Commit
feemen.

DR.. John A. Mead of Rutland, Repub-
lican nominee for governor, and L. P.
Slack of St. Johnsbury, candidate on the
same ticket for acknowledgement
met large number of their supporters
at the Addison House here Wednesday
afternoon. The occasion was a confer
ence of the candidates with the State
committee and the members of the
county and town committees.
State Committeeman Willard F..
Barnes of Addison called the meeting to
order at | 80 o'clock and r. w. Nc
Cuen of Vergennes was elected secre-
tary. Committeeman Barnes made a
brief address principally in regard to
getting out the vote so that it might
figure in the congressional elections this
year. DIR. Mead talked much along the
same line. L. P. Slack urged that il
was the duty of everybody to get out
and vote, he also spoke of local anc
national issues.
Other speakers were Judge Barnes,
Judge Weeks of Middlebury, Senator
Thayer of Lincoln, w. H. Bosworth Of
Bristol, w. R. Warner of Vergennes
Charles A. Chapman of Ferrisburg
Judge Field of Panton, Carl Church Of

apportionment based on the census of
this year must be based on speculation.
1t is probable that Washington again
will be the banner county. Barre and
Montpelier are likely to show material
gains, while Northfild and Waterbury
probably have grown in the past ten
years. The gains made in this county
during the decade of 1S90-1900 were as
follows: Barre city, 1902; Barre town,
$50; Cabot, So; Calais, 10; East Mont
pelier, 108; Montpelier, 2106; North
field, 227; Waterbury, 57S; Woodbury.,
So.
The probability is that Rutland county
will show little, if any, gain, and that
Chittenden county, on account of the
growth of Burlington, will show con-
siderable gain. In 1900 Rutland
county's population exceeded that of
Chittenden by 1909. 1t would not be
strange if Chittenden, which, ten years
ago, had a fraction of 523S over the
number required for three senators,
passed Rutland and gained one. If
Washington should gain as much, and
Rutland should lose as much as in 1900,
then this county would pass Rutland.
1t is probable that Washington will gain
largely, and that its population will be
very near that of Rutland, so that Chit
tenden, Rutland and Washington are
not likely to be far apart.
1t would not be strange if Orange
county loses senator. In that case il
| remains to be seen whether Washington
county will get four senators, whether
Franklin will win back the member lost
decade ago, or whether Rutland
through the loss of Orange may keeI
its fourth senator. Fortunately, the
announcement of the population of Yer
mont may be expected before many
weeks pass, and a few very simple
mathematical calculations will answer
the question here raised. -Montpeliel
