In a recent issue of tau Philadelphia Pr.as is toe following article: ?'Among the n'irtv ;de.as in music comes an Interesting announcement from the Hjhn School of -Music of a violin kind-.rgarien class for children from four to seven years of age. The system aims primarily to train the young student to discriminate/ and op preclata musical sounds und arouse an interest in the study of tho violin, and, not Jess important to the- Child, to concentrate the mind" Musical circles are displaying great interest in tlit. possibilities of sucli youthful instruction. Now Richmond can say t'.ia: such a school may be nenv to Philadelphia, but it Is not new to Richmond, for just such a school has been in operation in our city for the past three years, and has had remark ?n'.ee mi.-.- und r the ma nag" ? men t of its founder.

II V l.A MARQUISE r>B FONTENOY. AN EVENT has just taken place In Franco that may possibly have far reaching conseeiucnros as far as international affair.-, are concerned, and that in the not very distant future. 1 allude to the election of M. Paul Eugene Douls Des , ? hanel to the presidency of tho French I Chamber of Deputies, thus making him the most conspicuous candidate j for the presidency of the republic. in succession to President Fallieres. I There Is no disputing the fact that I M. Deschanel Is a man of undoubted talents; he is a member of the Acade? my, a famous orator, and an Impres? sive writer on political and social j questions. But he is regarded by I many as an "unsafe" man for the position of President, for the reasons that he has too limited a sensu of tho responsibilities of any office hoi may hold, makes too strong an as? sertion of his own individuality, that ho is too impetuous a talker, and also too regardl.-ss of the consequences of what he says. As 1 mentioned in these, letters the other day .he gave great olfense In Vienna some years ago by declaring in hi? speech of inauguration and election at the French Academy, that "Emperor Francis Joseph's death would be France's opportunity, since it would bring about the break np of the Aus tro-Hungarlan EVnplre." For an ordin?re French orator or welter to make such a declaration would be bad enough. But for a high official? lie- was President of the Chamber of Deputies at the time?to speak so glibly about the destruction of a friendly nation, and the demise of Its beloved ruin, was unprecedented. And yet M. I>es. hanel was so little able to appreciate the significance of his utterances that ho actually applied for the position of ambassador at Vienna, from which capital, of course. a prompt notification was received that he would be "persona noil grata." Presidents of republics?like emper? ors and kings?.it-e as a rule keenly ..live to the danger of an incautious remark about a foreign country, and submit every word to their cabinet be? fore littering it. What would there fore happen If the French elected as their chief magistrate n man who, while gifted With a copious vocabu? lary of Incisive language, should have the habit of heedless and unfettered outspokenness. and eif saying the wrong thing at tho time when it would do the most harm, Is too un? pleasant to contemplate. Besides all this, he. is scarcely what one would call "presidential timber." lacking simplicity .of character. He is too much of u dandy in his dress; so artificial ami Insipidly correct as to lay himself open to the charge of foppishness and affectation. At one time he was a suitor for the hand of the sister of the notorious Mme. Hum? bert. The dignity of President of the Chamber carries with it many advan? tages, namely, the permission of liv? ing at the. "Petit" Bourbon, a salary of liio.ooo francs a year?which In France means $100,000?and a score more of privileges and advantages well worth looking forward to. An American iwho was so cosmo? politan In his tastes that ho had resi? dences In New York, Montreal and Paris, apd who had relatives and con? nections by marriage in the United States, Canada, England, France. Hol? land. Germany ;>ud rar off Australia. Is, I think, well worthy of passing mention. I am led to allude to this subject through tho fact that tho will of John ?'pjrarACA yanaeckj j^s, jU(n BC.en n}eti. In the Surrogate's Court, New York, for prohatt. It disposer of Now York property to ihn value, of upwards of $1.000.000. in addition to his belong? ing* In Canada, whore he had a homo at Montreal, though lie lived a great part of his time in Paris. Thu Van necks, of course, are of Dutch origin. The English branch dates from the time of the first Baronet, Sir Joshua Vaniicck. who was the second son of Cornelius Yunneck. paymaster-general of the land forces of the United Prov? inces. This first baronet was a very rich I,ondon merchant. His son was cre? ated Baron Huntlngfleld. The present baron is the fourth of his line, and John Torrance Vanneck is his second cousin. When the present baron suc? ceeded to his father's title and estates, he had a lawsuit on his hands which threatened to deprive him of a con Men's $1.00 Soft Negligee Shirts With or without collars; sale price, N.

IT PAY WILL YOU TO VISIT Bernard, Frances & Company Broad and Fifth Streets stderable portion of hta property, and which began In a. very curious way, or rather, that was accomplished by au Incident somewhat out of the common. It scorns that when the second baron HunllngflCld married. In IB 10, the ?laughter and heiress of Cualonet Areudeckne, of Giownug Hail, Suffolk, It was regarded as a matter of course that the Uleverlng Ha.ll ?statu would descend without question to Lady lluntlngneki. On the d.-uth of Chaloner Arcadcckne the 1 lunllngnelda entered Into pos? session. The third baron, wishing to dispose of the Oleverlng Hall ostate, placed it In the hands of a prominent lirm of London roal estato agents, with the understanding, of course, that they would exercise the usual circum? spection in Issuing permits to view Ihn piace by likely purchaser*. One day. however, three bicyclists rode up to Gleverlng Hall, presented permits duly signed by tho agc-ntd. and asked to be shown over th>. place. They we.ro courteously received and the aged butler showed them tho superti country seat. .Suddenly the elder of tho three visitors Informed the butler that they .had made up their minds to stay in the place, as it belonged to him. tho speaker, and that he was determined to exercise his right of ownership, adding that in acting thus he was tollowing the advice of his lawyer, tor the place really belonged to him. and in no m'iij? whatever to Lord or Lady Huntlngfleld. Convinced that ho had a gang of lunatics to deal with, the butler called tor assistance. The village policeman.' the gamokWcper, the curpenter and others quickly responded, and the visi- I tors wc-re carried out of tho house. . Thereupon the claimant served notices of his alleged title on all thu tenants, who were warned to pay the rents to no other person or persons than William Block, the claimant. The latter, In t'ne statement of his case, curriud the title to the property back to tho year, 161G, but tho inter? est begins with the your 1T4 1, when Thomas Whymper was the owner. He had four sons and one daughter. The sons hud a lifo interest In the prop? erty, ami leased It to tho ArcedocKnes, who uamo Into possession, so It was alleged, as tenants only. The son? left no descendants, and neglecting to collect t'ne rents from tho Arcedecknes. the latter acquired a possessory own? ership for the time being. But the daughter married one Brady, and the Issue of this marriage was a daughter, who married John Block, from whom the claimant was descendod. Although the claim was barred by tho atyiluic of limitations, yet this annoying suit Interfered with tho sale of Gleverlng Hall for a considerable time, as of course no purchaser cares to come forward and buy property the title to which Is tho subject ot" a lawsuit. The name Arcedeckne is not often met with nowadays, having apparently been absorbed into that i of the Vannocks when tho heiress ' married the second Baron Huntlngtlclu, But, lu a manner of speaking. It may be said to be Immortal, for It was an Arcedeckne thut furnished tho in- i spiratiou for "Harry Faker" to Thack? eray. In ? his novul "Pendennis," and who was a frequent butt of the novel? ist In the'r wordy encounters at the Garrlck Club. Sometimes, however, Arcedeckne. hit back in a fashion that made Thackeray wince. For instance, after the firat night of the novelist's lecture on "The Four Georges," Arcedeckne remarked encouragingly, "All very well, Tbaek. but?It wants a piano!"

William Arcedeckne Vatineck, IvrJlher of tho present earl anil his heir presumptive, is niurrled to Mary, daughter of Wil? liam Ar.itstr.ing, of Toowcimba, Queensland, while tw > utticr biothers also married In Australia.
