CARVES OUT
Violin Of Rare Beauty And
Sweet Tone
Former Mt. Vernon Man Re.
turns To BOyiSh Tastes

The Huntington (W. Va Herald.
Dispatch of Tuesday evening contains
an interesting article concerning
Frank e. Carter, formerly of Mt. Yer
non, who has just completed the max
ing of a violin of rare beauty and
tone. Mr.. Carter married Mt. Yer
non girl, a daughter of Mrs. Martha
Ewing of this city, and is well known
to many people here.
The article from the Herald.Dis.
patch follows:
This may indeed be the age of arti.
flee but there still remain some tasks
which can be successfully performed
only by human hands. One of these
is the making of a fiddle. Machinery
may indeed fashion the wooden piec.
es and fit them together, but It can
not carve them as to produce in the
end an instrument fitted to breathe
forth the very soul of music. The
fiddle must be handmade. Fiddle
making, or violin-making, whichever
you please to call it, is an art worthy
of master hand and consequently
F. e. Carter, leader of the orchestra
at the Lyric theatre, Is being warmly
congratulated upon having produced
an instrument which, on the first day
of its history, charmed those who
came within the sound Of its notes.
Mr. Carter is not a violin maker.
He is a violinist. Incidentally, it
might be well to mention that he per-
sistently says fiddle" when referring
to his instrument. In his youth he
was possessed of some skill as cary
err but he never followed woodwork
as vocation. Instead, he has been
a very successful musician.
In November of last year he deciled
to make violin. He sent to three
different houses for properly season
ed wood and after getting the wood,
set to work with tools purchased at
the five and ten cent stores to carve
out the instrument Yesterday he
completed it and used it for the first
time. 1t has yet to be stained and
decorated, but as it is, it is beauti-
full example of handicraft, worth
while if only for the sake of behold
ing it. But, better than this, it is
sweet toned and mellow. a violin
among thousand, as musicians are
not slow to pronounce, marketable
probably for hundreds of dollars, so
rare is the quality of its tones.
Mr.. Carter played it yesterday and
last night while the pictures we're
running at the Lyric and even to un-
trained ears the notes of the wonder.

The dance was rough. There is no

Floor Manager Essick objected not
one bit. Evidently dances at Ashyille

AT one end of the dance hall, there

There must be great rejoicin' on the
Golden Shore to-day,
An the big an little angels must be
feelin' mighty gay,
Could we look beyond the curtain now
| fancy we should see
Old Aunt Mary waitin,' waitin', for the
coming that's to be,
An Little Orphant Annie an the
whole excited pack
Dancing up an down an shoutin': Mr.
Riley's comm back!
There's heap O. real sadness in this
good old world to-day,
There are lumpy threats this morning
now that Riley's gone away;
There's a voice now stilled forever
that in sweetness only spoke,
An whispered words of courage with
a faith that never broke.
There is much JOY and laughter that
we mortalS here Will lack,
But the angels must be happy now
that Riley's coming back.
The world was gettin' dreary, there
was too much sigh an frown,
In this vale O. mortal strivin', so God
sent Jim Riley down,
An He said: go down an cheer 'em
in your good old-fashioncd way
With your songs of tender sweetness,
but don't make your plans to stay
Coz you're needed up in Heaven, am
lendin' you to men
Just to help 'em with your music, but
I'll want you back again.
An Riley came, an mortals heard the
music of his voice
An they caught his songs O. beauty
an they started to rejoice;
An they leaned on him in sorrow, an
they shared with him their joys
An they walked with him the path
ways that they knew when they
were boys.
But the Heavenly angels missed him,
missed his tender, gentle knack
Of maxim people happy, and they
wanted Riley back
There must be great rejoicin' on the
streets Of Heaven to-day
An all the angel children must
be troopin' down the way
Singin' Heavenly songs Of welcome an
preparin' now to greet
The soul that God had tinctured with
an everlastin' sweet;
The world is robed in sadness an is
draped in sombre black;
But Joy must reign in Heaven now
that Riley's comm back.

PROVISION FOR HIS WIDOW"

E'oped With Lemon King" From
Sicily Thirty Years Ago
Boston, Sept. 26.-The estate o.
Gaspare DiCola. the lemon king,
who was assasslnated a few steps
from his Brookline home, amounts &c
about $3.50. 900, but his widow
shares in little OF 1t, according to he
Will filed with the Dedham register OF
probate,
In the document DiCola leaves To
| Antonio. the woman known as his
wife, the furnishings in the Brooklne
house, his personal jewelry and ital-
| ian government bonds valued al
| $1,000. She also gets 500 a month
for the remainder of her life, that
amount to be paid her by Giuseppe
| DiCola of Italy, brother OF the dead
| man.
This brother is left the residue OF
the estate, real and personal. out
of that residue during his life he
shall give to Mrs. DiCola the use OF
one tenement free in the Brookline
home OF the slain merchant.
The executor of the will is the Olu
Colony Trust company of Boston. The
company has filed a bond of $780,
900.
All of DiColas personal fortune goes
to his brother, now on his way from
Sicily to claim the body Of the
lemon king"
BY the terms of the will the wife"
gets little more than enough to sup
port her for the rest of her life and
barely enough to keep her in the style
she lived while her husband" was
alive.
The will made on the deathbed OF
the murdered man, who was so weak
he was forced to sign a cross instead
of his signature, clinches the reyela-
tons made by the son of the widow,
that she never married DiCola ana
had eloped with him thirty years age
from his fathers home in Sicily
where she helped in the manufacture
of macaroni.
The romance, known only to few
very intimate friends of DiCola,
caused a sensation in Little Italy
among his business friends and ac-
quaintances. They were dumfound-
ed to learn that he had run away from
his home in Italy with the wife OF
laborer, taking a child by the wom
ans husband with them.
The child is now a Boston barber,
and it was he who revealed the secret
DiCola had guarded jealousy all the
years he was honored as a man OF
unimpeachable character" in Boston
business circles.
The will proves beyond doubt the
truth Of the revelations of years ago,
that Antonio DiCola was a wife in
name only, and is a widow only by
having divorced the laborer sweet
heart she married in Sicily.
The police are working on theory
that there is much more to the muir
der than has yet been touched upon.
Whittier the various ramifcations OF
the romance and murder will lead Is
not known.
