Ready to Tell All.
When the Grand Jury met today
fully a score of Legislators were in
Prosecutor Turner's office. Some
were there TO tell what they had
heard and aid the prosecution in
every way that their own integrity
might be established. Others were
there in an attempt to make things
easier for themselves, protesting to
take chances on a lighter sentence by
confessing.
Impetus to Legislation.
The sudden springing of the bribery
scandal has had astonishing effect
on the passage of progressive legis-
lation. The present Democratic Leg
islature with a Democratic Governor
pledged TO a lengthy program of re-
forms, but reactionary Democrats had
succeeded in blocking practically
every measure.
Yesterday, however, there was. a
scurry of these legislators to redeem
themselves, and the Senate hurriedly
passed the bill for the Oregon plan of
direct election of United States Sena-
tors while half a dozen other pro-
gressive measures that had been
hopelessly blocked in both houses for
some time past are today up for i'm
mediate action
The presest session, which has been
characterized by one of the biggest
lobbies in the history of the Legisla-
ture is now entirely free of this aP-
purtenance, practically every lobby
ist in the city having fled.

a Lucky Game or Chess.

A story is told of the Moorish prince
Abul Hejex, who was thrown into
prison for sedition by his brother Mo
manned, king Of Granada There he
remained for several years until the
king. fearing he might escape, placed
himself at the head Of a fresh revolt
and seized the crown, ordering one OF
his pashas to see to his immediate ex-
ecution. Abul Hejex was playing at
chess when the pasha came and babe
him prepare for death. The prince
asked for two hours respite, which
was refused After earnest enlreaty
he obtained permission TO finish his
game. He was in no hurry about the
moves. we are told, and we'll for him
he was not, for before an hour had
elapsed a messenger brought the news
that Mohammed had been struck dead
by apoplexy, and Abul was forthwith
proclaimed king Of Granada. 1t was
indeed a small favor for the paslla TO
grant. hut 1t altered the whole current

Muaieisn. and snss.inu

Nobody can dispute the sincerity cf
the players in a big orchestra like the
Philharmonic or the New York Sym
phony. Most of the time they take
their work seriously, but sometimes
the men break loose and play tricks on
one another as though they were
Youngsters in school, Of course the
audience knows nothing OF these
things; they're usually perpetrated in
rehearsals.
The red pepper trick is the common
est. The jokers scatter it where the
bassoon and trombone players are like
ly to suck it up. The result is chokes
and sneezes. Sometimes the epidemic
reaches even into the strings, but Of
course the players on the wind instru-
ments get it worst.
AS matter of fact, the iokers are
playing with fire. a confirmed
sneezer can't get job in good or
chestra, no matter how good per-
former he may be-" said a consistent
concert goer. Think Of the effect Of
rouslng sneeze on pianissimo!
Why, it would spoil i whole concert,
