The electrical violin player is one of
the remarkable automatic devices
produced by American ingenuity. It
is controlled by a perforated music
roll, which guides group of 60 finger
ing magnets taking the place of the
performers left hand, and a substitute
for the bow in the shape of set of a
revolving discs q inch in diameter,
each made up of bundle of so hex-
ible celluloid washes. One of the
discs acts on each violin string. Con-
facts governed by the perforations of
the music coil cause action on electro
magnets, and produce expression by
varying the speed of the discs and
their pressure on the strings. A
special magnet gives bouncing low
action when needed. A set of mag
nets is also provided for plucking
effects, and vibrato effect is yielded
by a large magnet with weighted
armature for shaking the tail-piece
sideways. Connected with the APP
paratus is an electrical piano player
movement, operated by the same
music roll to give accomplishments.

drive the machine in the air-a COM

carry passengers. The TRANSITIONAL.
ton from flying machine to automobile
is simple. The carrying planes are
fastened and fixed in place as side
walls for the machine, and it is be-
lieved that the change can be made in
80 minutes under any ordinary condi-
tions. Only an air propeller is used.
This drives on land and water and in
the air, and in recent Berlin trials the
automobile made considerable speed on

NEW BALL TEAM
City's Second Team Has
Strong Lineup

Jackson's second team of ball
players have recognized and have
material that will make anything in
the county vince. The club is mostly
composed of the old Jackson brewery
team, and residents living in Jackson
last year remember the way the End
team made things pop during the
season, losing but 2 games and de-
feating most of the county's leading
teams. Jackson's first team was a
regular cinch is the way one of the
players put it, and if they wish to get
repetition of the defeat we gave
them at the opening of this season,
let them give us another chance.
We feel satisfied in saying that the
second team will make good, and we
hope liberal patronage will be shown
them. Following is a list of available
players who have agreed to help give
Jackson clean base ball the rest of the
season:
Will Boro, pitcher for Suffer Creek
part of this season, with success. He
has number of balls, easily thrown
and hard to hit and with proper sup
port will make any county team work
hard for a game. Brown will take
charge of the glove, and as catcher,
Jackson knows him to be good and
fast, his head work will come as he
grows into the game. Delahide comes
here from st. Mary's and will hold
down the first base. He is very re-
liable, and has NUDE good with st.
Mary's and that is record enough.
Eugene Boro plays second, and he is
also ST. Mary's player. w. Fort
ner, is placed on the Bird bag and we
can say this makes an infeld that will
be hard to beat. Love at short stop
braces the infield solidly. He is also
a St. Mary's output, but could handle
a ball before going to that school.

why James Russell Lowell, When Re. tlring from Post of Minister to England, Wasn't Bancueted
 By Fellow Countrymen.

For many years now it has been the custom of Americans residing in Eng land, or visiting there at the time. to give a farewell dinner testimonial or some sort-usually a great banquet, to which prominent Englishmen are in Vlted-to our retiring representative at the court of St. James. James Rus sell Lowell, who was our minister to England from 1880 to 1885, was not gwen such testimonial by his coun- trymen, an omission which he felt keenly Whether or not he ever knew why he was not so honored do not know. but here is the real reason, and one which brings in the names ot two other internationally distinguished Americans. the late Judge Alphonso Iaft, father of President Taft, and the late Moncure D Conway. author. preacher and historian
 At the time that Mir Lowell was minister, Gen E. o. Merritt, who be- came collector of the port of New York after President Hayes had re- moved Chester A. Arthur from that post. was consul general to London Shortly before his return home, Gen Merritt gave a large dinner at which his guests were men of prominence with whom he had been associated as consul general. and the dinner was somewhat in the nature of a farewell banquet to them
 At the dinner the general placed Minister Lowell on his right, and next to Mir. Lowell he seated Moncure D Conway, most influential member of London's American colony But no sooner had the dinner got fairly well under way than the host noticed that MT. Lowell and MT Conway engaged in no conversations circumstance that caused him, some embarrassment. since it was plain to see that there existed between the two men a decid. ed coolness of which the host had been in absolute ignorance

Discourtesy Of q Diplomat

 Gen. Merritt" he said, "I have come to apologize to you for what you may have thought a rudeness or a dis courtesy on my part at your dinner of yesterday. But it was simply impos- sibie for me to engage in conversation with MT. Lowell, and I will tell you why
 One of the dearest friends I have is Judge Alphonso Taft of Cincinnati. made his acquaintance while I was clergyman in Cincinnati before the war; that acquaintanceship ripened into warm friendship, and we have corresponded ever since I came to London to live, which, as you prob ably know, was in 1863.
 Now, you remember that Judge Taft passed through this city in 1882. when on his way to Austria to begin his service as American minister at the Austrian court He was my guest while he was here, and one of the first things that he did after his arrival was to call and pay his respects to the American minister, MT.

Brightness In the Home.

Don't be afraid of little fun at home. Don't shut your house lest the sun fade your carpets, and your hearts lest hearty laugh shake down some of the musty old cobwebs there If you want to ruin your sons. let them think that all mirth and social enjoy- ment must be left on the threshold without when they come home at night
 Young people must have fun and relaxation somewhere. If they do not find it at their own hearthstones 1t will be sought at other less profitable places.
 Don't repress the buoyant spirits of your children; half an hours merri- ment around the lamp and fireside of home blots out the remembrances of many a care and annoyance during the day. and the best safeguard they can take with them into the world is the influence of bright little domestic sanctum.

Samuel J. Tildcn's Prophecy of the Intention of ConkIine and the StaIwarts to Nominate Grant
 for Third Term.

1 know that many persons who knew Samuel J. Tilden we'll were accus- toned to look upon him as one of the most sagacicus and cold booded poli- ticians that the country ever had pro- ducd But because of a confidence that he reposed in me shortly after his return from Europe in the early au- tumn of 1877. have always looked upon Mir Tilden as great politician who followed in great measure the lead of his munitions
 Immediately after the electoral com mission had decided in favor of Ruth erford B Hayes for president. Mir. Tilden set sail for Europe. where he spent the summer On the afternoon of his return home called upon him. bearing an important message from Mir Charles A Dana. editor Of the New York Sun and an intimate friend

Wouldn't you have supposed that MT. Lowell would have shown some courtesy, would have hastened to re- turn the call of President Grants at- torney general-one of the greatest lawyers as well as one of the fore most citizens of the United States! But no. He practically snubbed Judge tory card left for him, but that was all. And, Gen. Merritt, I have never ceased to feel intensely this slight to Judge Taft, and l suppose I never shall That is why it was impossible for me to engage in conversation with MT. Lowell at your dinner"
 True to his friends memory, MT. Conway never forgave MT. Lowell for his alleged snubbing of Judge Taft. And more than that. when the time came around for the American colony to give the retiring American minis ter, in the person of MT. Lowell, farewell testimonial in the form of banquet, Mir Conway refrained from promoting the movement; his infiu- ence kept other prominent Americans passive, and as result, the only fare well entertainment of any conse- quence that MT. Lowell received, was given to him by a member of the no bility, and, excepting Mir Lowell. none but Englishmen took part in it.
