SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1903.
An -interesting flgure who will go
down in American history as the man
who made the only unanswerable sil
ver argument , 'ever ' delivered ; on the
floor of the senate of the United States;
is the .Hon John P. Jones of Nevada;
who for the past thirty years has rep
resented that state ' in ' the , senate.
Jones sayg that he has. retired V pa
manently .from politics and will devote
the balance ,of ils life to mining indus
tries and to teaching the people of the
country-the - greatness of his - state ;of
Nevada . a9 a ' mining- country and
which in his opinion is the greatest in
the -world. ; He -says that the recent
gold strikes,, in the state have been the
most wonderful of any jet discovered,
and that they will eclipse the great
Comstock Lode, which turned out more
than $600,000,000 of the precious metal.
Speaking of the qualities of the sol
diers of different countries,' a writer in
Everybody's Magazine has the follow
ing to say aibout the Russian: "If it is
time to Jose.his life he will lose it, and
there is little use in trying to save it.
He might as well go to one place as
another, and it makes no difference
whether he goes into a fight or keeps
out of it. He travels the line of least
resistance, and from . this develops a
"blind, but often unintelligent obedi
ence. That sort of man makes a dan
gerous' fighting machine. With all
these good qualities, however, ( there
jire others not so attractive. Big,
strong, patient of .toil and hardship, he
is also clumsy, stupid and rtrf slow
a serious fault In fighting men. There
was a. good. exhibition of the Russian
lack of speed the day the Pekin relief
cplumn marched from Mahto to Chang-cbia-wan.
For that morning, it had
been arranged that a Russian battery
and battalion of infantry should form
part of the" advance guard with the
Japanese whom the .regular formation
of the column placed in the lead.'. The
Japanese were doing their full share,
but the Russians could, not or would
not keep the pace. After, repeated at:
tempts to get them to do so, Japan was
obliged: to ask Russia to withdraw its
men and give room to the Japanese so
that the required speed could be made.
The Russians halted and formed be
side the road, while th Japanese in-,
fantry went by them on the "double,
and the battery at a trot. - From that
time until the day's distance had, been
made there was nOmore trouble, about
the failure of . the advance guard to
maintain contact with the enemy.
The happenings of the past few
months leads a former admirer of
President Roosevelt to say tllat un
questionably , he was stronger a short
time ago as a possible candidate than
he is to-day... That does not mean
to Bay that he will not have he sup
port of the majority of the republican
delegates who will assemble In Chi
cago six months . hence "Fortunate
are those who ar in possession," is
the translation of a Latin phrase much
used by diplomats. Five vice presi
dentsTyler, Fillmore, Johnson, Ar
thur, Roosetelt have become presi-;
dents by the death of the head
of the tlcfeet on which they were
elected. Tyler. Fillmore. Johnson
land Arthur did not succeed in obtain
ing a presidential nomination from
t their party. It is true that Fillmore
t IimAaa y Know-Notbine ticket in
1856. But that wasj quite a different
thing from being honored with a pres
idential nomination from the political
party that gave Fillmore the vice pres
idential nomination eight years before.
The New York Tribune, commenting
on a statement that President Roose
velt could not be elected without the
aid of New York, gays: "It is charac
teristic of General Grosvenor's san
guine temperament to insist, while not
conceding the danger that Roosevelt
would lose New York, that we can eas
ily carry the country vrithout New
York; but it may not be amiss, in al
luding to his statement, to declare the
fact ,of which he is doubtless as fully
convinced as anybody else, that' the
republican national convention will not
choose to take a gambler's risk. It is
quite true that a republican president
might be elected without the vote of
this state, and. with the increased
number of electors consequent on the
latest apportionment, it is consider
ably easier to flgure out such a result
than it has been in past years. But
no party in its senses is going to make
a nomination for president which could
reasonably be interpreted as an an
nouncement In advance that it expect
ed to lose New Yoi'k."
e Inevitable result of the passage
off a national pure food law will be to
armonize the state pure food laws

end to the present ridiculous and scan
dalous , condition. Rochester Democrat-and

CANNON AS SPEAKER.
Hl Stand For the Jiimnitr of , !
Home Aalnt the Senate.
Not. since Thomas B. Reed's first ap
pearance as speaker has the house of
representatives had in that office a
man of such vigorous individuality as
Mr. Joseph G. Cannon, says the New
York Post's' special Washington corre
spondent. His personality is so dis
tinctly his own, except so far as it be
longs to an earlier western type now
little seen in Washington, that It has
been widely pictured in current publi
cations and apparently' affords mate
rial for constant comment. Other
speakers of the house have regularly
used somewhat stilted phrases in their
requests for order, such as "Cease con
versation" s and "Retire to the cloak
room," when they hav; really meant in
the vernacular "Keep quiet." Mr. Can
non Is restoring the idiom as' fast as
possible. When he gets awakened in
making a ruling to the house, he drops
the gavel from his left hand, reverting
to an upraised forefirger with which
to lay down the law, after a manner
long familiar to the house." Every time
he drops the gavel the house applauds,
for its members know) that he is about
to say something too vigorous for the
conventional weapon of his office.
When some Chicago callers were re
cently trying to get him to speak at a
dinner in the near future, he answered
that he could not speak. They replied
that it K" Mr. Hinds, the clerk at the
speake. hie, and several other coach
em busy to keep him from making a
speech half of the time in, the house.
There was a modicum of truth In this
retort. : .' ' ... . :. '
Mr. Cannon, unlike his predecessors,
does, not bow profoundly to the secre
tary 'Of the. senate when that function
ary comes Into the house to make ah
' nouncement of the senate's action.- The
story is told that whetv the new speak
er's coached informed him that; he must
make a great bow he answered that he
did not bow to the United States sen
ate, and he would not bow to any of its
secretaries. - ' V 1 -

RAT CHASING A :NEW SPORT
Snrfci Fox HantlnK in. Popularity
in a. fennayivanfa viuasre.
Rat chasing is the new sport to which
men, young and old, living near Ber
mudian, Adams county, Pa., have re
cently become devoted,' says a Gettys
burg dispatch. As a rural sport the
Innovation is ' fast outdistancing fox
hunting in the village.
Interest in, this game was aroused
several weeks ago when a Rerinudian
resident liberated six rats from a trap,
and the dogs of the village engaged in
a rat killing contest. Rules regulating
the sport were then drafted, and now it
has become a regular Saturday after
noon pastime, and wagers are made on
the result. ' ..
During the -week traps are set in rat
Infested buildings, and when the time
arrives for the weekly roundup ( as
many as fifty rats are usually in cap
tivity. The owners of dogs then as
semble at the clubhouse. Each dog
is held by Its owner or trainer. One
rat. is then liberated from a trap, gets
a start of several yards, and at a sig
nal the dogs are released and the chaBe
is on. , The owner of the dog catching"
the .most rats receives a cash prize,
which Is collected from the owners of
the dogs. There is also lively betting
on the side.
JOKE ON A COUNTESS.
Stanch Boi Confnae'd, I,ady Con
atance McKeuzle With a Mare.
Confusion in interpreting a telegram
led to a ludicrous mistake in connection
with the visit of Countess -Constance
McKenzie of Scotland to Alice and
Corpus Christi for her wild hog hunt,
says a Houston (Tex.) dispatch.
A telegram came announcing the ar
rival of Lady Constance McKenzie. It
was addressed to the Santa Gertrude
ranch, and the "boss," who is not up
on the titles of nobility, concluded that
Lady Constance was a . fine blooded
mare that R. J. Kelberg was sending
to the ranch. He telephoned to J. B.
Ragland, the livery stable man , at
Alice. ' ;
Ragland prepared a' special stall at
the stable and notified S. P. Anderson,
agent for the San Antonio and Aran
sas Pass railway. It was only by acci
dent that Ragland discovered on arriv
ing at the depot that Lady Constance
was a woman.
Private Street Car For Girls.
Aristocratic schoolgirls attending the
Misses MIttleberger and the Miss Spen
cer schools In Cleveland, O., are to have
a private street car to take them to and
from school, says the Chicago Record
Herald. The request was made be'
cause the young women object to mak-!
ing their way through the crowd of
smokers on the rear platforms of the
regular cars and the young men who
persist In trying to flirt with them .aft
er they get Inside of the cars. The
service will bp fntallrd thirst of the
fiat.-
The golden-tongued . Chaucer . de
clared, this cheerful attitude of mind
as being that of tie clerk of Oxenford,
who was full, of , all moral virtues, tout
it would have been ' different had he
been the maker of the fithele. s For
the violin maker first of all loves the
fiddle. When the' artist draws A the
bow across the magic strings he listens
with eyes closed, completely oblivious
of all else save the rich, sensuous
sound given out by the mellow toned
Gagllano, the stunning Strad, , or the
brilliant. Klotz or Amati. ' The tone is
the satisfying element, for however
graceful the top, however . : beautiful
and exquisitely formedjthe neck jit is.
the tone that is the final test with the
maker, as it is with .the artist and the
public. But - the back, the ,r top, the
neck, the finger-board, and-every de
tail of the making, ha$ a significance
to the violin . maker that is shared by
only I a few privileged ones, who must
have the soul for .tone nd lovo toT
tha "feeling" of : the stringed Instru
ments. The violin -maker who is the subject
of this article is William L. Peters of
Hartford, who for forty years has
been a maker and , repairer of violins,
and he has handled many of the most
celebrated instruments in . the worid
during his many years of work. He
has repaired or "treated," as he terms
it, some 700 violins, valued at from
$100 to $5,000 each, and he has made
with his own bands some three hun
dred odd. violins, which he has , sold at
prices ranging from $50" to $300.
; (Mr Peters has. a few of these Ti0
lins at this -time, arid they show much
skill in. the making, and, excellent tone
and ; quality considering that they ar
but a few years old. x
A visit to Mr PetersV little shop in
the Charter Oak bank building reveals
the violin' maker in all his enthusiasm
for the art1 he loves. He , carefully
takes from tbe case a precious "fithele."
"Look at that good and hard. You
may not see lts"like again," , says, the
maker, and he takes the ancient bit of
pine and maple from a case and place?
it In the visitor's hands.:; Gazing criti
cally at. the graceful lines of the top,
the eve discerns the label inside. "An-
tonlus Stradivarius, Cremona, 1609."
It seemed to the stranger almost like
shaking hands with' old Antonius, and
he wondered at the beauty of the in
strument' and the art of' the celebrated ;
Italian who made it. For the violin
was of about the time that Stradivarius
was changing from the works of his
earlier period to" those of the ' grand
model. The varnish !' the beautiful
golden-brown or amber, and the top is
made of .Swiss pine. In the back and
ribs the hafidsomest of figured;' wood
was used, the back being In one piece.
The "f" holes are beautifully cut,, the
purflihg being inlaid with much skV.1.
The edges show little wear for so old
an instrument, which Indicates that it
has always received good treatment.
There: are three check in the-top run
ning -with the grain; but Mr Peters has
repaired .tnem In a most artistic, man
ner, and the instrument has no'.flaw of
any kind. It is one of the. best exam
ples of the Stradivarius make, and is
valued 'at $"4,000, The artist played
Handel's "Largo" - on .the Strad, and ,
the. old violin maker's eyes 'closed and
he listened enraptured at the beautiful
tones of the solemn melody." When
the player finished the invaluable Strad
waa again placed in ; the velvet lined
case aid tenderly, put away, j !
"But .here's a beautiful Gaglianb. It
has a tone, like the voice . of a great
contralto singer," said Maestro Peters,
and he placed the full sized and char
acteristically shaped' violin , that made
Nicholas ;Gagliano "famous; In "the
hands of .the young man who had pre
viously played The wood In' the back
and sides showed, an evenly , marked
flame, which is said to be seldom
found in violins of this class. The to$
is . spruce, the varnish a lustrous yel
low, blended to a deep red at the cen
ter bouts. The workmanship is. well
finished, and the 'preservation Is re
markably perfect. The tone proved, to
be strong and of . fine body, and com
pares favorably, with that of the Strad
ivarius or any other Italian violin.
Twelve hundred dollars is the value of
this violin, and compared with the
$4,000 for the Strad, it should be a rare
bargain, if one were making a collec
tion, or seeking a fine old Gagllano for
concert use. . ; , " e
But there were other good old vio
lins. .A French instrument made In
1750 by Jean Baptiste Salomon 4 of
Paris, from the colection of Julius
Schmidt, United States consul at Se
villeSpain, valued at $300." A gen
uine Klotz, bearing the date 1770, or
1779." This is a' fine Instrument, hav
ing a delightfully strong and at the
same time mellow tone. A very good
orchestral instrument, indeed.'
Mr Peters. has had many euriou.Cex
periences with violins. Michael "ReMle,
a well known 'Violinist Of Worcester,
Mass, brought his violin to Mr Peters
to be treated. The latter looked the
fiddle over and said. "That looks like
ah exceptional violin."
Mr Reidle said he thought It was
pretty good, better than the average,
and that he bousrht it for $38, which
he considered quite a bargain. , But
the violin was in bad shape and had
to be taken down, treated, and then
set up.' In the work of scraping under
a lot of grime that had settled under
the "f" holes Mr Peters was astonished
to find ' the label "Hleronlmus Amati,
Cremona, 1 028." And when that violin
had been put in perfect condition .It
turned out to be one of the finest In
struments in the world, and the valu
ation went from $38 to $5,000 in quick
time. But Mr Reidle holds that violin'
a3 beyond price. Tt is nof surprl5?ing
that Mr Peters has the following en
"dorsempnt from Mr Ileidle, as a result
of the above Incident:
"I have known Mr Peters for the
past twenty years,' and consider him
one, of the ablest men in his profession.
His" ability as a violin maker and ro
pairer cannot be equalled. I have al
ways had the best of opinion about hi
workmanship, and in the bandllng and
repairing my, own violins, and especial
ly my own Amati. I found him to be a
competent and careful workman, and
would not hesitate to recommend him
to do the most particular work in .his
profession.
, , "MICHAEL RE1DLE, Violinist."
; Mr .4 Peters has on hand at this time
about nineteen violins of, his own make
that have accumulated within 'the past
few years. These are good, honest vio
lins, of excellent workmanshin, and all
tlU'.y lack Is age to .make them valu
able. One of thesse v'olins Is a cop"
of the celebrated King Charles Strad
that was" at one time owned in this
city by the late R. D. Hawley. ' The
famous violin was In possesion of Mr
Peters all the while he was copying Its
details, This is a beautiful violin, and
while the tone is not quite that of the
King Charles, it is very good Indeed,
and promises well for the future. At
the price of $100 this violin would
feeem to be a good investment for al
most any violinist.)
Mt Peters came to Hartford two
years ago, and since coming here has
done work work for many of the lead
ing violinists of the city, to all of whom
he referg as to his skill in the same art.
of violin making and repairing. Hart

WHICH REVOLVER?
A Very Serious Question for a Man in
a Pinch.
He belongs to the Canadian mounted
police, and thinks nothing of lonely
rides on behalf of justice. , But the
other day he had an adventure that
pretty nearly extinguished all .his
chances of further experience. A num
ber' of horses had been stolen, and he
was sent out to track the thieves. For
several miles he rode without catch
ing a sign of his quarry., Then from
a break In the bush he noticed two
men sitting over their meal. Seven
or eight horses were picketed close by,
and, best of all, the men had laid all
their firearms in a little heap behind
them. Slowly and warily,- his heart
hammering with excitement, he crept
up, secured the arms, unloaded them,
and fastened them to his own saddle.
Then, revolver In hand, he lurched
up to the thieves and made fast with
handcuffs and leg, Irons. If didn't
take long s to tie the missing animals
together by their tails, and then, re
moving the leg Irons, he led the pro
cession off, the horses behind, and the
men by his side. All went well till
the second day, when he suddenly
heard an ominous elicit behind ' him,
and knew that one of his pistols must
have dropped1 without 'his knowledge.
Fqr a second he thought that the note
of his death had been struck. But,
fortunately, it was one of the unloaded
revolvers, and, not his own, that had
fallen. If he had been shot his bones
might have, whitened unfound for six
months or more. For it happened in
a lonely part, beyond the outside pass
ing of the world.
