WAY OF DOCTORING MASONFtt
Germans Adopt MetKod That Entirely
Obviates Necessity of Tearing
Down Cracked Walls.
Ingenious Germans of Hamburg re
cently have adopted a method of doc
toring masonry that entirely obviates
the necessity of tearing down cracked
and docaylng walls.
In tho city of Hamburg two crumb
ling railway bridges wero used in the
experiments. Thoy wore 61 foot In the
arch spans, and cracks had appeared
ovcrywhoro, so thnt tho structures
barely hung together. Holos were
bored through tho masonry to got to
tho depthB of tho cracks and a watery
cement mortar was pumped in under a
prossuro of five atmospheres until all
tho crovlccs woro filled. When this
had hardonod it was found that ths
bridges woro as Arm undor all tcntn as
new masonry, and woro not oven dis
figured by tho process.
To tho antiquary as well as the
practical engineer, this should appear
as a boon, for ancient stone structures
with historical associations, which be
como dangerously weak can bo given1 u
renewed youth without rebuilding oi
destroying any of the marks of vonor
ablo ago. In this country moro bridges
and other stono structures aro torn
away because thoy no longor accom
modate tholr needs, than because they
are outworn, but thoro may como a
time In America when wo shall have
occasion to do a little patching, and

Parepa-Rosa In Gllmore's Peace Jubi
lee Was Heard Above the Cannon,
Organ, and Great Orchestra
Ohorua of Ten Thousand.
Rooontly I told in tbo words of tho.
lato Patrick Sarsfleld Gllmore, tho
greatest bftndnmster this country has
over produced, tho story of tho ro
montlo courtship of a groat prima
donna of tho sixties and tho early sov
onties, Parepa-Rosa, and Carl Rosa,
who, at tho height of Parepa's famo as
a grand opora singer, was looked
upon as ono of Europo's great violin
ists. Today I tell in Mr. Gllmore's
own words tho story of the manner in
which ho secured Parepa-Rosa as tho
soloist for his National Poaco Jublloe
of 18G0, which was hold In Boston, and
which was ono of the great musical
festivals that won for GUmoro inter
national famo as a bandmaster.
"I began to lay plans for tho peace
Jubiloo a year or two after tho close
of tho Civil war," said Mr. Gllmore,
whoso band, during tho war, was tho
most famous of all tho musical or
ganizations on tho Union side. "At
first I had just a vague idea of a celo
bratlon in song and musio of tbo res
toration of peace in tho United States.
But tho more I though of tho idea, tho
moro it expanded, and at last having
in tho meantime received every en
couragement from my Boston friends
and obtained financial guarantees
against loss from somo of tho mer
chants of that city I decided to get
together an orchestra of ono thousand
pieces and a chorus of ten thousand
voices. I Boon found that all of the
musical societies of tho United States,
at least of the larger cities, were only
too glad to co-operato with me. Then,
to give the jubilee a decided novelty,
I worked out a plan for using artil
lery as a part of tbo orchestral ac
companiment, the cannon to be placed
outside of tho Coliseum and to be dis
charged by electricity exactly as the
organist would touch a particular note
upon tho organ's keyboard when ho
wantod a special effect
"Well, do you know that all tho
whilo I was planning for these largo
effects it novor occurred to me that I
bad forgotten that I ought to have a
soloist who had a volco powerful
enough to bo heard abovo the salvos
of tho cannon, tho organ, tbo groat or-
I did think of it my plans wero far
advanced and I was in grave anxiety
least I should bo unablo to secure a
soloist But one evening, as I sat
listening to Parepa-Rosa singing an
rfrla from Meyerbeer's opera of 'Rob
ert tho Devil,' the thought suddenly
came to mo: 'There's your soloist
That woman haa a volco that would
soar above any combination of
voices and Instruments, no matter
how many.'
"So I sought out Parepa-Rosa and
told hor what my plana wore that
thoy called for a great dramatic so
prano whoso volco would soar above
a chorus of ten thousand and an or
chestra of ono thousand. She replied
that she had never yet had an oppor
tunity to let her voice out to its full
capacity, that alio believed a chorus
of oven ton thousand voices could not
drown her own.
" 'But,' said 1, 'I am to have twenty
cannon placed and discharged by elec
tricity as an accompaniment to tho
orchestra.'
"'Oh,' she said, delighted, 'that
would bo like singing on a battlefield.'
And sho addod: 'Mr. GUmoro, I wjll
sing for you as your solAst if you
will promise mo ono thing your mu
sicians must dlscbargo tlao cannon on
tho boat of tlmo. If thoy do that I
will make my volco heard abovo tho
cannon. But If they como In out of
tlmo then all Is ruined.'
"I was bold enough to make the
promise, and at tho first day's per
formance I escorted Parepa to tho
center of the stage. Thero wore thirty
thousand peoplo there. She stood be
foro them smiling, awaiting the in
troduction by tho orchestra and then
tho chorus. At the exact moment she
began. Her voice was like a melody
from tho heavens. Her song rose
pure, clear and exquisite above all
that vast combination of sounds. No
othor thing did tho vast audience pay
hood to It was the song of that
woman, triumphant over that vast
combination of instruments and voices
and rnnnon, that tAiight thorn what
the human volco Is .capable of. And
when It was all over and Parepa had
retired to tumultuous applause she
told mo that for tho first time in her
entire llfo had she ovor really sung."

Some ten or twelve years ago I waa

Clarke, then vice-president of the New
York Central railway system and for
many yearB the right hand of Commo

that system. Mr. Clarke was anxious
to show me some of tho historic spots
In Tarrytown and In its vicinity and
especially Sleepy Hollow, still redolent
with tho traditions of Washington Irv

When E. P. Roe Produced "Barriers
Burned Away," the Admirers of
A. 8. Roe Rejoiced That Ho
Had Resumed Writing.
Tbo namo of 3. P. Roo and many of
tho novols that bear It aro still re
momborod by tho world at largo; but
bow many readers of today aro thero
who would havo their memories
stirred by tho mention of the namo of
A. S. Roo? Yot, In his day, A. S. Roo
was as popular a writer of fiction as
H. P. Roo was in his, and thereby
hangs a talo of confusion of names
and reputation and coincidences.
A. S. Roo and E. P. Roe each be
came a writer of Action by chance, as
It woro. Until E. P. Roe wrote tor a
friend, tho editor of a religious paper,
the serial called "Barriers Burned
Away," bo had not tho slightest idea
thnt he had any gift for fiction writ
ing. A. S. Roo started out in life a
march ant; ho lost his fortune, gained
in trndo, through his too groat gen
erosity In ondorslng tho notos of his
friends. Having nothing olso to do ho
thought ho would write a story. His
first novel, published in the early fif
ties, boro tho titlOi "I've Been Think
Ing," and It had an enormous circula
tion, at least for that time. It was,
properly speaking, In modern book
terms, a "best seller."
Year after year, following this first
pronounced success, A. S. Roe pub
lished novels, and oach was wldoly
road; It was a "best seller." He
stopped writing about tho year 1809,
and great waa tho regret among his
following. Rut somo threo years later
many of tho novelist's admirers could
bo hoard saying delightedly that he
had taken up writing novols again,
and then thoy would toll how much
they enjoyed reading his latest book,
"Barriers Burned Awajf." They wero,
Indeed, so glad that A. S. Roo resumed
writing fiction, and thoy hoped he
would keep on; and It was freely told
about by A. S, Roo enthusiasts how
their favorlto author had been Inspired
to roturn to tho Hold of fiction with
his now novel by something he had
Boon whilo on a visit to Chicago short
ly after tho great fire of 1871. Indeed,
ovon after E. P. Roo who, following
his unoxpected success, produced suc
cessful novels regularly year after
year, as A. S. Roe had dono before him
had written sqvoral immensely pop
ular books, tho confusion of names
and reputations still persisted.
But thero wero other coincidences in
tho careers of those two men besides
thoso of name and rapidity of produc
tion. A. S. Roe cultivated a little
farm in Connecticut not for from Hart
ford, tho state capital, and ho turned
to It for recreation botwoen novols. B.
P. Roo, after his first novel had re
vealed his real genius, took up fruit
culture on a small farm at Cornell,
N. Y., near West Point, ho having
Iwnn tho pastor of a Prnshytorlan
churoh not far frjom tho Point when ho
took up experimental novol writing.
Moreover, the novels of A. S. Roe
wero almost as popular In England as
thoy woro In this country. So, too,
when E. P. Roo began to write, his
novels speedily gained a great hold on
tbo British reading public. And for
many years tho prevailing impression
In many an Englishman's mind was
that tho novels of A. S. Roe and those
by B. P. Roe were the work of one and
tho same man.
All
ono of the two commissioners of the
Confederate government who wero
taken from the British maii" steamer
Trent by Captain Wilkes at the begin
ning of the Civil war, an action which
almost brought about war between
England and the United States.
"Alexander Slidoll, hotter known as
Alexander Mackenzie, waa tho cause
of ono of tho most sensational inci
dents in the history of the United
States," Mr. Clarke continued. "The
namo of Mackenzie he legally as
sumed. It was his mother's maiden
name, and it is my recollection that he
assumed it at the request of ono of
her near relatives, an uncle. It may
be that a promise of inheritance
caused him to mako this change In
surnames. At any rate, ho was an of
ficer In the United States navy, and in
1842 was in command of tho brig-of-war
Somors.
"Upon that brig wero a largo num
ber of apprentices; thoy practically
consututed the crow. Ono of thm
was a son of John C. Spencer, who
was at that tlmo secretary of war in
tho cabinet of President Tylor.
"When tho Somers wns In mldocean,
returning from the African coast, Com
mander Mackenzie heard that a mu
tiny was brewing. Ho instantly in
vestigated and had three of tho ap
prentices arrested as ring leaders of
the alleged conspiracy and court-martialed
on tho deck. They wero found
guilty and were hanged from the yard
arm. Ono of them was the son of the
secretary of war.
"I remember well what a tremondoua
sensation the news of tho execution
created; I was then 20 years of age.
Mackenzlo was himself court-martialed,
but It was found that he had act
ed strictly in accordance with tho
rules, nnd he therefore could not be
convicted. But if ho was acquitted
ly court-martial, ho must have suffer
ed agonies, In view of tho fact that
tho American peoplo almost to a man
turned their faces against him. Ho
was told publicly and privately that
there would be awful retribution for
him.
"About four years later, during the
Mexican war in which Mackenzie
took part on land, by tho way came
the report that the brig Somers had
sunk In mldocean with the loss of a
large part of its crew, and in public
and privato it was said that retri
bution for tho hanging of a mere boy
was begun. Two years elapsed and
then one day about bIx years after
the hanging of young Spencer Mac
kenzie, who had retired to Tarrytown,
wbb out riding horseback along this
road; that was his only recreation.
Duuaoniy ue norse sniea no one
could tell at what and threw Mac
kenzie ovor his head. Thoy lifted
him from tho ground a few momenta
latnr; his neck wan broken. And once
again It was said by the superstitious;
'Retribution for tho hanging of young
Spencer tho final retribution.'"

Mecca Most Popular City
Town Located In the Wilderness of
Arabia Is Visited by One-Seventh
of Human Race.
Although ono of the most Inaccessi
ble cities on earth, Mecca each year
has visitors in such number that it
must bo ranked in this particular with
London and Now York. Even tho
world's metropolis on tho Thames can

tho myriads of pilgrims who, at tho
cost of incredible palnB, annually
crowd Into Its confines. This city is
the oldest placo of resort in existence,
yet of all the millions who have vis
ited it not a score ot Christians aro
known to have come out alive. No
Sag of clUzenshlp would save a man's
life were he known to be a Christian
within ths sacred precincts ot the city
wbsre the prophet himself decreed
that ao unbeliever should set foot
Of the 226,000,000 Moslem In the
world, only 16,600,000 live under the
Turkish flag, yet most ot thorn ac
knowledge the sultan of Turkey as
their caliph, the successor of the
prophet. As Mohammed Bhrewdly fore
saw, tbo Mecca pilgrimago binds to
gether his disciples into a unity which
could be effected In no other way,
"Mecca," says Dr. Samuel M. Zwemor
of Arabia, "has become tho religious
capital and the centor ot universal
pilgrimago for one-seventh of the hu
man race. Harper s.
