part In the Marathon run at the I'olo
Grounds this spring.
Tho time made by "Johnnie" Hayes
In tho London Olympic Marathon was
two hours, a minutes. IS 2-3 seconds.
The course run was from the east lawn
of Windsor Castle to the stadium, a
distance of 26 miles, SVi yard-!, and It was
entirely due to the head work displayed
by Hayes throughout the race that ho
was able to beat the field. Critics sav
that had Dorando Riven as much atten
tion to pace as did Hayes, he would have
been able to finish without coll.ips.ni?
within -HO yards of tho finish.

Now York National Cnnrd Marathon
from P.tooklyn to Coney Island ami re
turn February 22 last In 2:r.l?:K. White
did not make his bid until about the
E2nd mile and the other contestants
were unable to krep up as he passed
them. It Is this husbandlni? of speed
that stamps the Marathon runner as
one of class, no old head allowing hlm
Folf to bf run oft his feet the first half
of the toni? race.
The men will begin to-morrow to train
for the Htirltngtnn race, although all arc

The conilnf? of Hayes will be a great
card for the nurlltiKton celebration as he
ranks as ono of the world's Kreate-,t
Mirathon runners. He has been photo
graphed and widely advertised In the
metropolitan press ever since Ills heroic
victory less than a year afro, and his
rapid rise from a humble clerkship to his
present eminence in the athletic world
stands as one of the romances of every
day life.
MBAN'INO OP TI'.K MAHATHON.
Maratlion was a plain on tho northeast
coast of Attica, deriving Its fnmo chief
ly from the battle In which the
Athenians and Plntaenns under Militaries,
defeated tho Persians in 4S0 II, C, In this
battle 9,fX Athenians and 1,00 l'hitaeans
drove back to their Bhlps no less than
IM.OnO Persians commanded by Datls and
Artaphemes, the latter being a nephew of
King Darius, who had sent this gre-it
host for the conquest of Oreccp. Mlltlndes
burled 192 of his men upon the Held and
the Persian dead numbered C40O.
Tho battle has always 'been considered
ono of tho decisive events of history,
chocking as It did for many years the
aggrcsslvo policy of Persia toward Greece.
Athens awaited tho outcome In feverish
excitement nnd the story Is told that a
soldier, whose nomo Is unknown, ran the
whole distance (40 kilometers) from the
battlefield to tho city to hear the news
of the victory, falling dead from fatigue
as tho message left his lips.
In JST.O the Grecian government estab
lished the Marathon race over the old
road on which tho nameless hero ran to
perpetuate tho world's admiration of his
self-sacrlflcInK deed.

GREAT COLLECTION
OF VIOLINS.
Strolls, Anintls, (itiariierlii Del jpsn .
The Klnent of Ilpritnnrls Worth
n quarter Million,
The Partello collection of violins hns
loon the subject of some articles In the
Musical Coutltr. by Arthur M. Aboil, and
tho latest, In the Issue of Junp 5, do
rcrlbes the Instruments In detail, nnd Is
of gtent Intei est to all musicians, ns well
ns violinists merely, Tho pictures ac
companying the nrtlcle are of much vnl
uo; they comprise a general photograph
of tho collection done bv Hinll Ilnsse of
Ilerlln, and well reproduced; a picture of
D. J, Partello, Miss Partello, Kup.eu
Ynaye. A. M Aboil and I,. Slesel show
In? the "great Cremonn iiuartet," and
photographs of the line Strnds, front
nnd back views. Fvery violinist or lov
er of the violin would find tl'.esu pictures,
ns well ns tho teit. highly valuable.
This remnrknble collection mndo by Mr.
Partello In Kurope, where he wns In the
consular service of tho United Stntes,
contains four marvelous fitinds. Tho
first Is called "thn Spanish StrndlvnT
lus," dnto 172J. It Is entirely covered
with a coat of rich red varnish, ond Is
ono of tho best preserved violins of
Strndlvnrlus In existence, It hns n tnno
of "a golden quality, such as I never
heard from any other violin, not even
from the best Amatls," says Mr. Abell.
Tho lloyol Edinburgh, 1721, gets Its name
from tlm fact thnt It used to belong to
the Into Duke of Edinburgh, which Is not
Important except ns Idcntlfylust Its his
tory; It Is "n mngnlflrent. robust sppcl
men 14 1-8 Inches long, In perfect pro
rorvntlou, nnd hns vnrnlsh of n rich
golden color." The fiimoun IGfO Slrnd In
one of tho most remarknblo specimens of
tho Ciomonesn luthler's early work; nnd
hns 'n tone of wonderful brilliancy nnd
sonority." Tho I.udwlg Ftrad, 1721, Is for
lone one of tho most noted of Htrnds,
In fact It has been pronounced tho hlg-Ki-st-loned
Klrnd, It took Its nnmo from
PrufrMor I,udwlg, who played It for IS
yenrs, ho wan one of Joaohlm'H most dh
tlngiilshed pupils. Tho stylo of this vio
lin Is much llko tliut yf tho Sarasato
Strad, used by the Spaniard In the nnrly
pnrt of his enreer. It Is covered with n
rich, red varnish, and Is heavy In wood
nnd perfectly sound. Then there comes
the Joseph Ounrnerlus del Jesu, 174.1. This
violin wns mnde the snmn year ns Pag
onlnl's famous Ounrnerlus, now In tho
municipal museum of Oenoo, "It Is n
characteristic specimen of this remnrk
able master's work, havhig big, bold out
lines, the pecnllnr fish-hook f holes, and
a very powerful head; the vnrnlsh Is of
n rich ornngn color." Tho tone Is power
ful nnd brilliant.
The Cnrlo Rergonf.l Is for tone, says
Mr. Ahell, "probably tho most marvelous
violin In existence to-day, For richness,
penetrating power, volume nnd hrll
llnncy, It excels any RtrndlvaTlus or
Onirnerlns t ever heard, Including tho
five wonderful Instruments mentioned
nbove, mnrvelous specimens of the luth
ler's nit though they be. When Ysnye
Inspected Mr. Partello's collection nnd
pliyed for three hours on all tho rrln
clpal violins, he selected tlili Hergonzl
us his favorite, declaring thnt ho had
never heard nny violin to oqunl It, As to
vnlne, It Is priceless. ' The won
derful Hergonsl might hnvo been made
yesterday, so perfectly preserved Is It.
The model Is very flat; It cannot compare
In hnutv of workmanship with thn
Amntl violins; It is more bold nnd rtnrged
of outline but It has tho characteristic
mnrks of Its maker. Hergonr.l died young
and mnde few violins; not more than 10
of his Instruments hove an authentic ex
istence to-day, and not one of theio ap
prnaehe" Ih's violin In tone iunlllles."
There nre three Amntls In the Partello
collection; a Nicholas Amntl ((Irand Pat
tenl) of 1CI5 which stands In a c.lnss by
It-elf. "It is the onlv violin of this
maker known thnt has a tone equal In
volume to nny Strndlvnrlus or Citiarner
Ins, and nt the same time the tone has
thnt peculiarly appealing Amntl sweet
ness. It Is a tone thnt slmplv carried
tho violinist away and makes him loth
to put nsldo this marvelous Instrument,
once he hns touched his bow to It. It Is
In r. wonderful state of preservation, be
ing thick In wood and absolutely Intact
In every particular. It has hren lire 1
very little and Is nrnetlcilly a new in
strument, although '.00 yenrs old." The
other two Nlcholnr Amntls of nnd
ICOit are pictured and praised, nnd Mr.
Partello hns olo n fourth of the same
mnker. Thero are further mentioned
two ndmlrablc specimens ef Jncob Htaln
cr' two of C'lttndiKnlnl, two masterpieces
b. Lupnt. and he'dc those figured nrd
described In the Mi.slcul Courier article,
others of celebrated luthlers. Mr. Par
tello's collection of bows Is worthy of his
violin!.." Says Mr. Abell, dosing his
article.
I will not attempt to enumerate the
commercial value of each of the Instru
ments, but I should estimate that the en
tire collectbin l worth nt least $2."0.ii0
The bows are worth from 5 1 o.Oi i to JI2,w,
Hut there marvelous Instruments hnve a
value thnt cannot' be comnnted In dol
lars They are like Hnphaels and Michael
Anrelos and their-loss would be Irrepar
able. It should also be mentioned that there
are several extraordinary violoncellos In
the collection. A Piesser.da 'cello of
beautiful tone nnd workmanship, n viola
by the same mnker, nnd a 'cello of Tech
ier are Included; and there nre threo vio
lins, representing respectively Nlcnlo
Oennaro and Ferdlnnndo Gngllnno. That
by fjennnro Is unique of Its kind, being
absolutely new In appearance, nnd pie
clsely to-day ns when It left the work
shop. The vnrnl'b, a lb-'ht orange color,
Is Intact, not the slightest bit being rub
bed oft'. een on the Mdo where the hand
rests ngnlnst the violin when playing in
the higher positions, atile from Its won
derful preservation, this fact nlone
proves that the violin hns never been
plnyed.
Concerning .Mr. Partello's collection of
hows, as Important In their class, we
quote in full, because too little attention
1' paid to the quilitv of t'le lrow, even by
mnnv scholars of the violin:
On the lloor In the large group, front
row, nre seen 32 bows, of which 17 we-e
made by the greatest bow-maker of all
times, Francois Tourte of Paris. Among
these 17 bows are 10 gold-mounted ones,
and some of them hnve tortoise shell In
the frogs. Many of these bows have a
pedigree to be proud of; for Instance, one
of them was owned and plnyed with by
Paganlnl for many years, and the stick
has been very much worn where his fin
gers pressed It. Curiously enough, It has
been worn away on the wrong side, and
It Is a mystery how I'ngnnlnl held the
bow so aa to cause this. On this bow Is
engraved "T. 1KM." Then there are the
Tourte bows that formerly belonged to
Vleuxtemps and Hubert Ionard, with
tils Initials, "H. I.." One of the Tourtes
still contains the original wrapping.
Kvery particle of each one of theso 17
bows Is original. Mr. Partello would not
havo lu his collection a bow that had a
screw, inntlier-of-pearl or nny other de
tail, however minute, that was not strict
ly original. These Tourte bows ore
worth from $4u0 to $'00 apiece, each be
ing a perfect specimen. Of coursn tho
Paganlnl, Vleuxtemps nnd Leonard
bows, owning to their nssoclntions, would
trln'f much higher prices. The other
bows nre by Vulllnume, Henri, Vorln of
Pnrls, Peccntl, tho elder Tubbs and
others.

J The crulfcer Sappho had Just been pom

Gradually tho wnter Horded the cruis

New York. June 20. I-on T.lmt, with
his string of nlhses nnd hit Amerlcnn
clothes, mny never be found, but tho
mutilated body, of the New York girl
left behind In n trunk In his room here
will not be burled In Potter's field. Pnttl
Flgel, the father, claimed nnd positively
Identified th" body at tho morgue to-day,
admitting for the first time that tho vic
tim wns his danghter,5lrle.
The rlrl's mother, now In a sanitarium,
hnd prelouslv Identified the Jewelry;
another womnn had Identified the stalnol
underclothing nnd relii'lves hnd snld thnt
the murdered girl was Hlsle Slgel, grand
daughter of Cen. Franz Slrel. but until
this evening the father had maintained
nn nttltnde nf silence unexplained.
Hut after a conference nt police head
quartern this afternoon he visited the
morgue, aeconi-nnled by Franz Slgel, a
brother, Heginald, n son nnd by Mabel
Slgel, n cousin of the victim,
Clothing found on the body was shown
to tho father first to make the shock ns
gradual nr possible for later he wan to
see the form of his daughter placed be
fore him. First the underclothing wni
ex-.nlned by Mnbel Sic,el.
"Rlsto," snld ti e girl, as alio examined
the clothing. "ued to wear a peculiar
white headed pin."
"A detective run Ids fingers throuerh
the clothing and In a moment hell up
a white he-deil pin. Klsle wore those."
she said, ns she continued her examin
ation. Aftr a moment she was sure
tint the clothing was than worn by her
c.iii"ln and the pnrty pasei Into the
did room where the body lay In a long
ooft'ln-llke drawer. In silence the com
partment wns drown out and plnced on
two supports Then the lid of the coffin
was removed and there wns revealed,
pacltd In oakum nnd preservatives, a
mutrmlfled thing thnt looked nlmost
like humnn forms found In F.Typttnn
vaults. The face was first uncovered nnd
nnd the teeth examined. The father
was silent ns he had been during the ex
amination of the clothes, hut Mabel Slgel
wns quick to note the teeth. "Those nre
Flsle's teeth," she said, "nnd her hands,
too, as attendants llfterl the hands from
the hov. Paul Slgel rtood by nodding
his head In the affirmative ns each new
feature wns brought out to strengthen
the Identification.
Coroner Hnrburger Joined the little
group nnd asked the father If he was
certain thnt the body was that of his
daughter, Hlsle.
"A-e you satisfied 'a every way of the
accuracy of the Identification?" he ask
ed. "I am satisfied," snld the man, broken
ly, nnd he wns led away.
Franz Slgel mule arrangements for
the Immedlite removal of the bo:'y and
for the funeral.
TO RXAMINF. THI-' STOMACH.
Hlsle Slgel's stomnch, however. Is In the
hnnds of the Columbia University who
will make n chemical analysis of Its con
tent". Although the murder Is supposed
to have ben committed on Wednesday, i
June ',, tbe exact cause of her death hns
never been ascertained. While the
nutnpsv determined that denth wis prob
ably due to asphyxiation, whether sho
was choked, smothered under a pillow or
drugged, bound with ropes and left to
die horribly In the trunk Is as much a
mystery as is tho whereabouts of Leon
1.1ns and his pal, Chung Sins.
Aside from the positive Identification
of tho body there were few developments
In thn case here to-day Chit Cain, man
ager of tho Port Arthu- restaurant, In
Chinatown, who wns detained Inst night
as n mnterlnl witness, wns neld without '
ball until Tuesday. He had admitted that
he knew F.lslo Slgel well and had Incurred
the enmity of I-on Ling nnd thnt both
he (Chu Onln) nnd the girl had been
threatened with denth. Ho will be put
through n rlsld police ordeal before he l
released.
STOUT OF A CHINAMAN.
During tho afternoon two Chinamen
called at tho Slgel home In the Hronx,
Ignorant of Mrs. Slgrl's removel to a
snnltnrluwi and asked to see "Our
Mother Angel," a name which Mrs. Klgel
earned l-ccaufn of her mission work
among the Chinese, One of the men
said he was Chu Sam, r. brother of Chu
Gain, who Is under nrrest. Chu Sam
snld that Chung P.' ., who disappeared
simultaneously with I.eon, borrowed $200
from his brother, Chu Cain, on tho Tues
day before tho murder, and on the fol
lowing dny wrote that he would bo out
of town for some time. Chu Cain is
somewhat of n capitalist und Is presi
dent of a Chinese lonn association.
Hefore going to the morguo Mabel,
Slgel discussed the case, saying nmong
things that Hlsle had been In love with
nn ni my man In Wycmlng. She read ex
tracts from letters which she said hnd
been written by this man to lClsle. All
were signed "your old sweetheart How

the nrmy man wns stationed.

(From tho Hnrtford Times.)
George J. Oould, one nf the trustees of
thn estate of Ills father, Jnv Gould, tes
tified In court that In 1M6 the estate waa
probably worth about $so,cm,n01. The
revenue from tho trust probably yields
each of the six children of the late rail
road mngnnte nn annual Income of some
thing like thtee-quarters of a million.
Mr. Gould's evidence wns given for tho
purpose of Indicating the Income of How
ard Gould nt the time of his separation
from his wife In IftKI.
The Gould estato hns had some hnrd
knocks since 1!1, During the panic of
lfi7 and tho following depression ninny
of the Gould properties suffered badly,
nnd the total value of tho estate shrank
reverely, Hut during the past year tho
market vnlue of tho Gould recurltles has
appreciated greatly.
Jny Gould died In ISM. He left rent
estate valued nt nhout (.OM.Oi'O nnd per
sonnl property nggiegatlns J70,fV,Cioi He
bnquenthrd Sri.noo.Ono to his son Ooorgo
ns special compensation for his services
In caring for his father's vnrled Interests,
nnd he directed that the rest of his es.
tnte he divided Into six oqunl shares, to
ho held In trust nnd Invested for the
benefit nf his children.
Probably thn Oould estate, In trust, la
to-day worth aliout what It wns nt tha
time of tho death of Jtiy Oould. Hut out
of tho Income which It yields the vadium
children have been able to accumulate.
Independent fortunes. It would grieve
the great rnllmad manipulator of a gen
erntlon ngo to know how tome of tho
revenues from his millions havo been
spent. The manner In which Count Hon!,
nfter hla mnrrlage to Anna Oould, spent
all the Gould dollars ho could get his
hands on, and the manner In which tha
wife of Ilnwnrd Gould, now aulng for
sepnrntlon nnd alimony, made the Gould
thousands fly, would cause the Iron to
enter the soul of the founder of the
Oould fortune tf ho were atlll In the
flesh, In happv and delightful contract
to theae scandalous extravagance are
some of the Investments growing nut of
the Gould fortune; especially the Invest
ments mado by Helen Gould for humanity.
