Hardships of Musicians.

great musicians intimately. writes in our
next Sunday Magazine Of some of the
hardshfps and strains they have to en-
dure. Thus the ends of pianists' fingers
frequently split open, and still they have
to keep on playing; violinists acquire
curvature of the spine on account Of the
distorted position they must hold their
heads in, and their eyes are injured by
particles of rosin flying from their bows
performers on wind instruments suffer
from bulbar paralysis and apoplexy.
None of them may indulge in the sports
and pastimes Of normally situated folk.
for it would injure their technical eff
cheney 1t is a rather gruesome recital.

BIG ISSUE OF SECURITIES.
Railroad Company Would Sell Bonds,
Preferred and Common Stock,

The Washington. Westminster and Get
tysburg Railroad Company has applied TO
the Maryland public service commission
at Baltimore. through Alan o. Clephane
an attorney of this city, for permission
to issue So. 100000 in per cent bonds
and S.. 10000 in stock-16,O0O shares of
preferred stock and 46.COO shares Of COM
mon stock at $50 per share.
1t has been suggested that the rail-
road. as projected, may be used by the
Pennsylvania railroad in handing its
through freight business between the
north and the south. The line would
connect with the Frederick division of the
Pennsylvania. thus providing a direct line
between Philadelphia and Washington,
cutting cut Baltimore.
The plans. however. as prepared by the
new line, do not contemplate a connec-
tion with the Pennsylvania, but with the
Baltimore and Ohio at HyattsviIle.

LONDON MONEY CHEAPER.
Bank of England Directors Cut Dis
count Rate to 4 Per Cent.

LONDON, January 26.-After pro-
longed discussion the directors of the
Bank of England today reduced the bank
rate from AZ to per cent.
This action was quite unexpected in
view of the present stringency in the
money market, which recently hardened
private discounts. but evidently the direc-
tors were guided to their decision by the
fact that they have absolute control of
the money market through tax collections
and will be able to make the 4 per cent
rate effective.
When the bank returns are published
the reserve probably will show a good
increase. Discount rates at foreign CEN
ters also are lower than in London and
there is an absence of foreign gold de-
mand. 1t is believed that the Indian re-
quirements are less pressing apd proba-
bly, this helped to bring down the mini
mum rate.
