DUBLIN REPORTER'S STORY OF INTERVIEW
Interesting; Account ot a Friendly
Chat with the President Per
sonal and Political Toplss
Touched I'pon,
rfn a letter to the Dublin Freeman's
Journal, the Bpeclal correspondent of that
paper to the 8t. Louis exposition gives an
Interesting account of his visit to the
Whita House and his call on President
Roosevelt. He says. In part:
At one end of the White House Is a small
one-story bulldlng.to which I wai directed
as "the president's office." A plump, bald,
headed negro took In my card to the presi
dent's secretary, Mr. Barnes, to whom I
presented my letter of Introduction from
Mr. Justin McCarthy to the president.
Then in five minutes It was arranged that
I should have an Interview with the pres
ident at 11:30 the next morning. I walked
out Into the green, sunshiny park bewlld
erud and dlxzy with the simplicity and
promptitude of the performance. No fuss,
no ceremony, no barriers, no lords-in-walt-Ing;
Just send In a card and arrange an
Interview as a matter of course with the
ruler f the greatest empire the world has
ever known.
Meets Hooaevelt.
Needless to say, I was punctual next
morning, but I was not three minutes
waiting, when the president, plain'.
dressed In plain gray tweed, slipped
briskly Into the plainly furnished room
and accorded me most cordial greeting.
The president looks younger than his
kge; fape and figure are wonderfully youth
ful, alive and alert; there Is not a touch
of gray In his thick brown hair; his eyes
and smile have the tenacity of youth; one
would guess his ago at 3540 at the out
tda After a hearty handshake he plunged at
once Into faml'.lar talk about Ireland and
her prospects. "How was the new land
net-working T" "What would be the con
dition of parties, and what thn position of
Ireland after the next election T" I told
htm we believed in Ireland that the Cham
berlain policy was completely exploded,
that the unionists were -hopelessly divided,
that It was probable the Irish party wou!d
hold the balance of power at the next elec
tion and could aguln press home rule to
the front.

needed." said the president. "The Eng
lish should grant it for their own saXe If
not for yours. It Is for her sake as well
as yours that wa In An erlca desire It. We
have many happy examples before our
eyes in our own federal government.
"I have been reading lately Morley'a
'Life of Gladstone.' a wonderful and fas
cinating book. His arguments In favor of
home rule are, to my mind, convincing,
but, apart from argument, his personal au
thority should count for much with the
people of England."
I mentioned that Dr. Emmet, with whom
I dined In New York, had allowed me to
use his name as an Introduction.
"You could use none of more influence
with me," said the president. "Why," he
added, smiling, "It was Dr. Emmet wha,
as our family physician, brought me Into
the world. I have sincere regard for Dr.
Emmct.and his family. The Emmet have
grown to be a great New York family. The
name is as highly respected In New York
as In Ireland. At the same time, let me
say you needed no other Introduction to me
than Justin McCarthy. There is nq Irish
man better known as better liked as a man
and a writer on this side of the Atlantic."
I rose to take my leave, but the presi
dent told me to be seated.
A Friendly Chat.
"I am ashamed." I said, "to trespass on
such valuable time. I have always thought
you must be the busiest man In the world,
except the pope."
"I rather think I am," Tie said, laugh
ingly, "except the pope. I think you were
right In excepting the pope; but I would
not except any other man on earth, not
even the kaiser. All the same," he added,
kindly, "I can spare a few minute for a
visitor .from Ireland. I am deeply Inter
ested," he went on "In the Gaelic revival.
Lady Gregory's translations of the old
Irish legends have afforded rue an extreme
pleasure. I have also read with the great
est Interest the works of Emily Lawless.
There Is one of her poems, I forget the
name, but you will find It near the end of
the volume, which might have been written
by Parnell or Davitt, if to their dthor great
gifts the poetical faculty had been added.
"By the way, I trust Mr. Davitt Is well.
I have a warm personal regard for Mr.
Davitt, and, Indeed, for all the Irish
leaders. You must know I have Irish blood
In my veins."
"We are very proud," I eald, "of that
fact In Ireland."
"Oh! I belong to many nationalities," said
the president. "I have that one qualifica
tion to be president of the United States,
which Is a country of many nationalities.
I am partly Irish, partly Dutch, partly
English."
"Less English than Irish. I trust, Mr.
President," I ventured to Interpolate.
The president grew suddenly grave.
"Every nation on earth," he said, solemnly,
"will have absolute fair play from the
government of the United 8tates and Its
president At the same time I can thor
oughly understand the feeling of Irishmen.
No one can read history and fall to appre
ciate It. It wa the history of Mr. Lecky
that flri't made me a Home Ruler. I can
not understand how the author of that
description of the union could be himself
a unionist, i anno understand how any
man could real that history, much less
write It, without becoming a Home Ruler.
It seems to me that expedtanry as well as
Justice are so strongly I if favor of the re
form that Home Rule car.not be long de
nied to Ireland."
With this encouraging assurance the
president bade me a cordial good-bys.

WAY TO CURE DRUNKENNESS
Efficacy of the Persian Method of
Xalllnir the Booier'i Ear to 4
the Sidewalk.
"There Is only one custom In" our country
which I would like to see established In
America, and that Is the custom of deaN
Ing with drunkards," said Isaac Yohannen,
a Persian missionary, who lectured to a
large audience at the Norwegian Lutheran
church recently. "In our country when
a man gets drunk we take him and nail
him to the sidewalk, driving the spikes
through hla ears. Then when other peo
ple come along, they spit In his face and
kick him until he la sober. I think tria
method would do a great deal of good In
America, because you have more drui.k-
fkenness than we do. There are no saloons
In Persia, the chief beverage being home
made wine. They don't even know what
beer Is.
"Our officials have several ways of mak
ing prisoners confess to crimes," said Mr.
Yohannen. "The favorite method Is to
take them on a stand, around which all
the people of the town gather, and then
put out one eye. If the crime Is not very
great an arm Is cut off or a leg severed.
If It Is only a trivial offense, probably an
ear is sacrificed. Very often Innocent peo
ple are subjected to these torments, but It
cannot be helped.
"The Persians very seldom hang si man
for crime. If he kills another he Is fined
115 and allowed to go. If he kills ten or a
dozen and the people finally decide that he
ought to be put out of the way he Is
hanged. But he la not hanged as they
hang men In this country. II is hanged by
the feet and a heavy weight Is tied to hi
head. Then he U allowed to die. If the
accused prisoner Is a woman, her hair la
shorn from her head, providing the offence
Is a trivial one. If It Is a serious one she
may be turned Into a room filled with mad
cats and be scratched to death.
"Persian Jails are dark cellura and con
tain no furniture whatever. The govern
ment doesn't feed prisoners, this being
left to friends of the accused. If he
happens to have no friends he will starve
to death. Oftentimes when food is brought
by friends the keepers of the prtaon and
the other officials appropriate it, so the
prisoner have to go hungry." Sioux City
Journal.
An Artist's Working: Day.
Work unrelaxed and unceasing work
may be suld to have been the keynote of
the life of the great patriarch painter who
passed from among us a few days since,
George Frederick Watts. Until a couple
of years ago It was his custom to rise at
the early hour of 4 In the morning, so
that- by noon he hud, as ha put It, "done
his eight hours." On of the greutest
English artists of Ills time, he was also
as perfect an example of aaneness and
regularity In the ordering of life as could
be found. And the goxpel of plain living
and hlb'h thinking which he practiced bore
fruits ot vitality and health which made
him to the end the marvel of all who
knew him. When over 80 years of age
he retained the same firm hand of his
youth, the mm keen, masterful touch

PIANO SALES ARE GROWING

PROSPERITY OF-f ARMER THE REAL CAUSE

i .
tantly Going, ' t
It Is often lightly suld nowadays that
the piano Is becoming a back number; that
a piano Is no longer considered an essential
Item of equipment In homes making auy
pretence to refinement; that fewer children
are taking piano lessons than there were
a few years ago; that the great piano pluy
ers are fast coming to have a monopoly
In piano playing because there Is less toler
ancs for mere piano walloping and thump
ing than there was a few years ago, and
that the Increasing number of devices for
producing something akin to music from
the plan) by means of strips of perforated
paper have token the heart out of amateur
and mediocre players, with the result that
the sale of pianos has materially fallen off.
All of this and much more In the same
strain has been getting Into print within
the last few months, so a Sun reporter
went the rounds ot a number of concerns,
whose representatives are In a position to
know, and asked If all this talk about the
passing of the piano had any truth In It.
"Absolutely none," said J. B. SplUone,
managing editor of the Music Trade Re
view. "It lit utter nonsense without a grain
of truth to hang It on. So far from the
sales of pianos diminishing, they never be
fore have been so large as within the last
three or four years. The sale of pianos In
1901, 1902 and 1903 was phenomenal. The
greatest demand came from the northwest
and the middle west, although the sale of
pianos on the Pacific coast In the last two
or three years has broken all records.
Demand Bi In Middle West.
'It wa from the northwest and the
middle west, though, that the demand
was the heaviest. The purchasers were
for the most part farmers, and their In
vestments in pianos were due principally
to good crop and good price for them
and a marked advance In musical culture
among the masses of the people. This
Increased muuical culture Is due to one of
the 'very reusons I have seen given to sup
port the absurd proposition that the piano
1 becoming a back number. I mean the
great pluno players who have been travel
ing through the country. It was In the
very nature of things that these great
players should stimulate interest in mu
sical studies and hence should stimulate
the sale of musical instruments, and that is
precisely what they have done.
''With the Increased musical culture has
come the transition from the old-fashioned
reed orgun to the piano. The reed organ
certainly Is a back number. It has seen
its day and departed. It served a useful
purpose In the development .of musical
taste In America. It was an important
lftik in the chain of events, and essential
factor In the process of evolution from
the crude standards ot former years to
the better ones which hold at the present
day. But it has gone at last and the piano
has taken Its pluce. The piano is now as
universal In the American home aa was
the reed orgun In Its various forms' fifteen,
twenty or twenty-live years ago.

remarkable boom in the piano trade within

that the quality of pianos sold has been,
as a general rule, exceedingly good. The
farmers have not been buying for their
wives and daughters the cheap grade of
Instruments, which go to pieces after t
year or two's us. They have been buy'
ing pianos of the better make. I should
say that as a rule they had been paying
on an average about 3350 a piano. When
you get much below that figure you are
getting into the grade of cheap pianos
when you get above it you are getting into
the class that may be called expensive.
Same Expensive Piano.
"I do not mean, of course, the very ex
pensive the so-called art pianos. There are
a few firms which make a specialty of these
art pianos. The prices paid for them are
sometimes fabulous. They are hand
painted by artists of the first order of tal
ent, and sometimes two or three years may
be spent In working out the subject of the
paintings and putting them on the polished
tops and sides of the Instrument, to say
nothing of the great amount of time and
skill that are expended on the beautiful
wood carving that Is put upon them.
"There ha developed a great tendency
among Americans of great wealth to havo
pianos which are individual and unlike any
other and that are in themselves art mas
terpieces. Th cost of these pianos ranges
all the way from 35.000 and 38.000 to 315,000
and 317,000. The most expensive piano, I
believe, that wa ever made to order by a
firm In this country cost between 3t7,000
and 348,000. There is a firm In the city that
1b working now on a piano for a customer
out on the Pacific coast which Is to cost
37,000 or 38.000. .
"There has been In the laat three or four
years an unprecedented demand for these
high-priced pianos, especially out on the
Paclflo coast which Is still another refuta
tion, of the statement that th demand for
pianos is decreasing among people of
wealth and refinement. The actual act la
that never before In the history of the
trade has there been so rapid an increase
of sale among this very' class, a well as
among, the moderately well-to-do.
Figures Are Impressive. f
"In 1900 there were built 171,13a piano.
Of these, 166.7S were of the upright type,
4,257 of the 'grand' form and 101 of the
square style. In 1901 the output of all kinds
of piano wa about 1H0.O00; In 1892 1 wa
about 19600; in 1903 It was at least 200,000.
The figures given are 220,000, but these may
be exaggerated, so we will put it at 200,000.
"These figure are within the mark.
Surely, this -does not look like a falling oft.
There Is nothing In such figures to make
talk about the 'passing of the piano' or that
the piano ha becom a back number.
"As to the statement that the mechanical
devices for playing the pluno have lowered
the standing of the Instrument and de
creased the demand for It, that Is. on its
face, ridiculous. There are a number of
such devices on the market and they have
particularly stimulated the sale of pianos,
a of a logical neceaslty they must. Hun
dreds of people buy pianos Just because
of the mechanical devices for playing them
people who would never think of buying
a piano but for the existence of those de
vices, ' because they had nobody In their
families who was able to play.
"As for the alleged decretiae In the num
ber of young people who are 'learning to
play the piano, that, too, is untrue. There
are mor young people learning to play th
piano than ever. The rosters of all our
leudlng schools of music wer never so full
as they have been In the last year, and the
number of student Is steadily Increasing."
In corroboration of what Mr. Hpillune
said regarding the Increased demand for
pianos, It may be mentioned that a firm In

TEA TIPPLERS OF THIBET
A Staple Beverage and Currency
th HighlandsHow It I
Brewed.
In
Tea forms One of . the principal articles
of commerce throughout Thibet and Mon
golia. The native Is miserable without It,
and when It cannot be obtained is willing
to cheat himself by various expedients,
such aa boiling dried onion heads, herbs,
or even an Infusion of chips of wood In
water, In order that he may not be, at
least,' without a suggestion of his favorite
beverage. The. tea Imported from China
is pressed Into small oblong-shaped bricks,
made up Into cases of nine bricks, securely
sewn In rawhide, and not only I used as
a beverage, but in fact forms a staple
of i currency as negotiable as Bank of
England notes - or American paper cur
rency. Th native method of preparing this
delicacy is not appetizing. The tea Is first
ground to a fine powder by vigorously
pounding It in a mortar until no splints
of wood or other Impurities are visible to
the ey; .It Is , then put Into the kettle,
when the' water Is hot, to boll ten or
fifteen minutes. By way of giving In
creased flavor, salt or soda Is added, and,
this part of the operation being com
pleted, th all-important ' business of
drinking It commences. The family being
gathered around the fire of yak-dung, In
order that atmosphere, as the painters
would say, should not be lacking, each
one draws from some hidden recess In
the folds of his voluminous sheepskin coat
little wooden bowl, and with a satis
faction which must he seen to be ap
preciated, fills his private dish with the
liquid. All this, however, is by way of
preliminary. From a skin full of butter,
placed within convenient range, each per
son takes a piece of oleaginous compound
and lets it melt into his bowl of steaming
tea. Then, oh Joy! Oh rapture! with fur.
tlve grasp he draws the nectar to his lips
and "heaven Is opened unto him." The
bowl is again filled. Into th steaming
liquid ha throws a handful of tsamba
(parched barley meal), and drawing forth
the sodden lump works it Into a ball of
brown dough with a deft movement of his
left hand, and successively bites off
piece of thl delicacy and drink hi but
tered tea until the visible supply ha van
ished, when. In order that .his table etl
quett may not be impugned, he licks his
bowl clean, wipes what superfluous fat
h has not got on his face on his boots.
and eagerly looks forward to the moment
when gods and fat shall again become
propitious. Oct Ing.

CLEVER RUSE OF THE LAWYER
Checking- Tear of , the Fair Plaintiff
by Abstracting Her Embroi
dered Handkerchief. '
"Tomorrow," said the lawyer, ! will
have to begin the cross-examination of the.
fair plaintiff."
His face showed that he wa troubled.
"It will have to be carefully planned anal
executed," he added, after a pause.
"What wlllf" Inquired the unsophisticated.
youth.
"Why, I have arranged to have a clev
party sit beside her and abstract her hand
kerchief Just before she takes the stand
for cross-examination," explained the law
year.
"To what purpose?"
"Evidently," said) the lawyer, "you ar
even more Inexperienced than I supposed,
I can see that she Is one of the kind that
ha no difficulty in crying when she want
to."
"Well?"
"Well, do you not know that all the as
tuteness of the legal profession In not
worth one tear in the eye of a pretty;
woman In a Jury trial?"
"But the handkerchief?"
"No woman can cry effectively on th
witness stand without an embroidered
handkerchiefs, Lacking that. It is no more
than snivelling, and the woman who sniv
els Is lost. . With the handkerchief, she
can beat me; without it she Is at my
mercy. A the poet truly says, 'In hoo
handkerchief vlnces!' The verdict In this
case Is likely to rost on the temporary
possession of a bit of linen and lace. Wha
she finds It gone she will be too rattled ta
even think clearly." ,
'I begin to see," remarked the unsophis
ticated one, "that there is more than law
to law."
"In such a case," was the reply, "the law
