PREACHER GETS RARE
OLD VIOLIN FOR $500

LEXINGTON. KY, April 9.-The
Rev. H. J. Lunger. pastor of the
Chestnut Street Christian church,
has a violin that was made in 1900,
according to the date found upon
the instrument. There Is said to
be but one other instrument in the
country similar to it. That is
owned by Chicago music dealer,
who is holding it for $4,000.
When the Rev. Mr.. Lunger was
pastor of a church in Rochester
two women of his congregation
had as a boarder a German must
clan named Hubner, who owned
the wonderful violin. Hubner died.
He gave the violin to the women
for the trouble and expense in
Cured by them in caring for him
during the last illness.
They wrote to Mr.. Lunger that
he might take the precious instru-
ment if he would pay off lien
upon it amounting to $500.
Musicians say there can be no
doubt that the instrument was
made by the inventor of the mod
ern violin, Clio Polo Maggini, who
lived in Brescia, Italy, from 1881
to 1881. He was the first of the
great violin markers.

ANTARCTIC HERO TO
y GO WHALE FISHING

EDINBURG, April 11.-Sir Ernest
Shackelton's next voyage will not
be pole seeking expedition, but
will have the more prosaic aim of
whale fishing. His famous little
ship, Nimrod, which safely wealth
cred the Antarctic storms and dan
gers, is to be fitted out as a whaler,
and it is likely that she will sail
from Dundee (whence all the whal-
ers set out for the northern seas)
on a blubber and whalebone hunt.
All that will be necessary for fit
ting her out for the enterprise is
tt provision of oil tanks and whale
boats, at a cost Of about $12,500.
1t is not known whether the ex-
plor himself will sail in her, but he
has been in treaty for the service
of one of the Dundee whaling skip
pers to command the Nimrod.
