one time it seemed as though he. too,
would have a chance to design a big
London spectacular effect, first when
Kingsway was planned, and secondly In
the rebuilding of Regent street. AS 1t is, he
has left us no ordered effects, but rather
giants like Scotland Yard and the Pic
cadilly Hotel that tower in the magma
ton of London. Nash, in the words or
the rhyme found London brick and left
it all plaster. Shaw was not in that sense
SO great a master, but his influence went
far to change it from plaster to stone
and, more particularly, to increase the
scale Of London street buildings.
Differs From Other Architects.
He differed from nearly all famous
architects in the variety OF his style. In
partnership with the gifted but unfortu-
nate Eden Nesfield he started a sort Of
Tudor-Gothic and so-called Queen Anne,
but toward the end Of his career he did
much toward the return of the classical,
which is day by day growing more aca-
demic. The Palladian influence - even
Piranesi-appeared in some Of his latest
work. This elasticity, at once his weak
ness and his strength, was natural out
come of our eclectic age 1t broadened
his great influence over the younger
architects, with a result that ii has many
shadows, and Norman Shaw's faults, as
we'll as his virtues, are sure Of long
lease of life.
Outside that he had only one hobby
the collection Of clocks, of which he had
about eighty. He was not so much in
terested in their beauty as in any eccen-
tricity that there might be in their move
ments.' Another passion was his de-
votion to France. He admired the coun-
try, its art and it's people, and he visit
ed it almost every year. For Italy, on
the other hand, he did not care, and Ger
many he cared for even less. In his visits
abroad he was sometimes accompanied by
a London clockmaker and a working
cabinet manufacturer and dealer. Of both
of whom he was exceedingly fond. AS a
man Shaw was very earnest high
churchman, and he devoted himself not
a little to charitable work.

Distinguished Architect.
DESIGNED SCOTLAND YARD
Death Means He Leaves Name Not
Soon to Be Forgotten by the
English People.
,ecial Correspondence Of The Star.


LONDON, November 30, 1912.
Norman Shaw, who died this week, was
not only the most distinguished architect
of his time, but he was also the best
knOwn-chiefiy because two of his most
important buildings We're subjects of pub
lie controversy New Scotland Yard
was called an eyesore by Sir William
Harcourt, and the Regent Quadrant has
been called worse names by Regent street
shopkeepers. OF the first it may safely
be said that by general consent it ranks
next to Somerset House among the pub
lie buildings of the capital, while the
Piccadilly Hotel. particularly it's Picca-
dilly front, has imaginative qualities that
make it the most metropolitan building
that west London possesses. The aston
fishing thing is that both the Gayety
Theater and the Piccadilly Hotel were
designed when the architect was in his
seventies.
He first laid his firm and picturesque
hand on London in 1873, when he created
new and enlightened type of office
building in Leadenhall street. Another
early office building was the brick block
at the southeast corner of st. James
street Its Gothic character contrasts
curiously with the classical building
which he designed for the other side of
the street only few years ago. He set
his seal on the Chelsea eInbankment with
those likable and interesting brick pal
aces, the old Swan House, the Clock
House and others, which led a fashion
which spread all over London. 1t was

geographical society. that he began his
so-called Queen Anne movement
Influence on Country Houses.
Domestic architecture has always
been the strongest part Of the English
tradition, and Mr.. Shaws influence OF
the country houses of England is com
parable to that of his compatriot,
Robert Adam. Like Adam, too, he
designed CRATES, and I believe, some
furniture. The fittings and CRATES of
Scotland Yard, for instance. give the
interior Of this impressive building a
severe harmony of the rarest kind. His
country houses, Dawpool, Cragside and
Chesters, each in it's different way, are
noble legacy from Victorian archi-
lecture to this country of country
houses
The impress he has left on London has

in Conspiracy Case insufficient.

BUFFALO, n. Y. December =
Richard S. Patterson of Wilkes-Barre was
given verdict of 81, 500 against the corn
exchange of Buffalo by a jury in fed

for $15OOOO. alleging conspiracy to keep
him out of the Buffalo grain market.
Both sides asked that the verdict be set
aside. counsel for Patterson saying the
amount was insufficient and the defend
ants making the plea that the verdict
was contrary to law.
Arguments on both will be heard i'm
January. The issue involves the right

Pianist's cramp is more painful than
writer's cramp and is the bane of all
yirtuosos. 1t Is caused by the constant
contraction and expansion Of the mus
cles controlling the fingers. 1t becomes
chronic when not guarded against, and
many a promising virtuoso's career has
been blighted In this way. The only
remedy is to rest the oyertaxed mus
Cles and then work them up gradually
to meet the strain of constant playing.
All concert pianists are subject to
split finger tips. The constant stroke
Of the balls Of the fingers on the hard
ivory makes the flesh so delicate ana
tender that frequently playing becomes
acute agony.
Violinists suffer great deal of phys
lcal Inconvenience. Most of us have
an idea that the violin is held against
the neck and shoulder by the players
left hand, which grasps the arm of the
instrument. All great violin teachers
insist that the left hand be left en-
tirely free, and to achieve this the vio-
lin is actually held by the players
chin. In this attitude his head Is held

Doctors have Il fearsome name for the
