sixty nine years of oge and was in tho
class of 01 at West Point On the
outbreak of tho civil war he at once
went Into active service and made a
remarkable record for bravery receiv
ing a congressional medal of honor
In war Colonel Du Pont was a sol
dier who loved fighting even above the
rank of general In peace he has been
nn aristocrat of an aristocratic family
Because he preferred to hold forth on
the fighting line with his favorite bat
tery of twelve pound guns he retired

spurning offers to be elevated to briga
dier general When the civil war
ended Colonel Du Pont returned to tho
home of his famous father General

His shereefian majesty Abdul Aziz
sultan of Morocco is a ruler with trou
bles on his hands most of the time
The powerful tribesmen of his realm
who are continually defying his au
thority manage to keep him In hot
water with the civilized powers by
carrying Into captivity rich or influen
tial foreigners who chance to bo In the
sultans domains Most powerful of
IrasllpS
KAISUIiI THE BANDIT CHIEF
these tribesmen is Raisuli who took
Ion Perdlcaris captive several years
ego and who has recently added to his
renown as a kidnaper by carrying off
Kald MacLean the canny Scotchman
who was adviser to Abdul Aziz and
chief of his military staff Brigandage
is a profession which Is held in con
siderable honor in Morocco hence
Raisuli whose adventurous exploits
would make him a most entertaining
figure in comic opera enjoys a pres
tige quite unique in Its way He has
a grudge against Abdul Aziz since it
was this monarch who was responsible
for his being chained to a wall for
three years Raisuli Is the Robin
Hood of Morocco Is a devout follower
of Mohammed Is tall and wears Im
maculate white robes
Congressman John James Jenkins
chairman of the judiciary committee
of the house of representatives takes
a serious view of the railroad rate
controversy in North Carolina and oth
er southern states He says there has
been no event since the civil war that
calls for so severe condemnation as
what he terms senseless tirade on be
half of states against the nation
The civil war was the result of such
agitation and we may have earlier
than we want an
other civil war he
says To avert
such a calamity and
preserve the nation
we must conform
to the law obey the
law and have the
law enforced ac
cording to the frame
work provided in
jr ar jenkins the constitution
This continual talk about state author
ities resisting federal power by armed
force will sooner or later end in blood-

breakdown has occasioned widespread
comment is by many considered the
foremost living American actor He is
not a native of this country as he was
born fifty years ago In Helgoland an

Daudet said
Mr Mansfield In
his charming book
called Artists
Wives shows us
how the actor the
painter and the
poet are tormented
by their better halves But has It nev
er occurred to you that there Is another
side to the question Dont the actor
tho painter and the poet sometimes do
a deal of tormenting themselves
I have a friend a playwright Hia
wife is good and beautiful Last New
Years eve he said to her at dinner
Darling I cannot begin the new
year better than by confessing my tur
pitude to you Know then that ours
was a bigamous and illegal marriage
My real wife with her three children
Is living In Denver
Oh oh cried the lady She ran
distractedly from the room
Calm yourself the playwright
shouted as he put down hiB knife and
fork and hurried after her That Isnt
really true It is only a speech that the
villain makes to the heroine In my new
play and I wanted to get some idea as
to how the heroine would take it
Charles S Francis of Troy N Y
who became ambassador to Austria as
a consequence of the now historic
Storer episode and who recently left
his post for a visit to his home in this
country has a liking for newspaper
men being one himself Ho is owner
and was for some time editor of tho
Troy Times founded by his father the
late John M Francis In talking to an
Interviewer recently he said
I have just had an Instance of how
Important apparently unimportant
things may be You know the bungs
that are used for barrels Well In
March 190G tho Austrian tariff rate
on American yellow pine bungs was
raised from 8 to 10
kronen forlOOkllos
A large manufac
turing firm in Cin
cinnati filed a pro
test against what
It termed this in
justice with tha
state department
which referred it to
our embassy
I thought it a
small matter at
first but the more
I looked into it the
greater I found it
to be There was
voluminous corre
spondence together
CHARLES S
FRANCIS
with a number of personal conferences
at the ministry of foreign affairs
which resulted I am pleased to say in
a permanent restoration of the old rate
This looks like a trifle but I learned
that one firm in the United States
through a single agency in Vienna
sells every year 0000 barrels of these
bungs and that American manufac
turers control the market of the world
for these little pieces of yellow pine
one firm exporting more than 300000
worth of them
John Armstrong Chanler great-great-grandson
of the original John Jacob
Astor and ex husband of the author
Amelle Hives Is tangled up In a
strange network of court proceedings
He Is making a fight for control of his
property which members of his family
deem him incompetent to handle He
is a brother of William Astor Chanler
the explorer and of Lewis Stuyvesant
Chanler lieutenant governor of the
state of New York In 1897 the su
preme court of New
York decided that
he was Insane
committed him to
Bloomlngdale asy
lum and appointed
Thomas T Sher
man to take charge
of his person and
estate But after a
time Chanler es
caped from the asy
lum and went to
Virginia where the
courts declared him
competent to man
age his property
consisting of sev
eral hundred thousand dollars In stocks
and bonds in the possession of Mr
Sherman Mr Chanler has been liv
ing for some time in Roanoke Mills N
C He wishes to return to New York
and enjoy possession of his estate and
recently brought suit in the federal
court of the district to force Mr Sher
man to restore to him his property
To make sure that he would not be ar
rested and reincarcerated In an asy
lum If he set foot In New York state
to prosecute his action he applied for
an order restraining any one from Inter
Jerlng with his liberty The judge re
fused it deciding that where a court
Df competent jurisdiction had adjudged
a plaintiff a lunatic It would be a
trained exercise of discretionary pow
v for the United States court to make

MUSICAL SOUNDS
Thinking Thorn as One Does Letters
and Words Is Not Difficult
To acquire the habit of thinking mu
Bical eouuds as one does letters and
words Is not a difficult task In fact
to one who undertakes it seriously
there Is no difficulty greater than that
of learning to read literature The
usual method of tuition which teaches
the pupil to regard this that or the
other note as Identical with certain
positions on his instrument is not one
best calculated to make him an ef
ficient and intelligent reader He nev
er attains to independence In musical
thought but must ever refer to his
Instrument before he can form a fairly
accurate conception of the musical
story that lies silent on the page be
fore him
As a child may learn to read the al
phabet to form letters into words and
thence into sentences and so on just
so may the music student learn to
combine and use the notes before him
Strange as It may appear the study
of reading music may be carried on
mentally For instance while I think
of a melody my mind traces its flow
and all the paraphernalia of the staff
and notation appear as the melody
passes away Into time I realize the
clef time and key signatures bar
lines rhythmic divisions and In a mo
ment I transfer the thought to paper
People In general are accustomed to
the transference of their ordinary
thoughts to papers and by constant
practice the labor of transmittal from
brain to paper Is minimized so greatly
as to appear almost automatic in per
formance Whatever of laborious ef
fort appear in the process of writing
music is the result of want of prac
tice and not that this form of writing
is really or intrinsically more difficult
than writing in words or demands
any greater mental or manual effort
The mind is here master and directs
the operations of the hand and both
gain facility from the practice which
comes of thinking music Musician
YOUR GOLD COINS
See if Any of Them Is Stamped With
the Letter L
I got hold of a gold coin a short
time ago and it was marked with a
letter L which I supposed had been
stamped upon it by some one who
wished to keep watch as to whether he
ever had it in possession again I
pasesd It along to my landlord I think
and thought nothing more about It for
several months Then I found out that
I had been passing light coin
How Is that was the question of
a listener
All coins whether gold or silver
upon which a large L is stamped are
light weight When you get one of
these stamped coins the only thing to
do Is to take It to some assayer who
will weigh it and pay you about 10 per
cent less than the face value of the
coin for It He will then place it in a
crucible to be melted into gold bullion
The government itself mutilates
these coins and in so doing turns the
ruined currency right back into circu
lation where some innocent party will
become victimized by them
When the light coins are tendered
for duties on imports they are weighed
at the custom house quickly stamped
D for light and returned to the im
porter If the latter cannot pass the
coin off he must take it io the retort
to be melted
The light coins may be rendered
light in the ordinary course of abrasion
in circulation or they may have been
sweated by parties who sell the gold
dust thus bruised off the coin The
common mode of sweating is to place
a number of gold coins in a sack and
shake them up for a long time when
the gold dust will gather at the bottom
of the sack Utica Observer
Mules and Gray Horses
I wonder if that truck driver knows
of any good reason for hitching that
mule with the gray horse remarked
a Georgian as he saw such a team
halted at Chambers street and Broad
way Lets ask him
The driver only knew that the team
was always driven together by order
of the stable boss
Well went on the southerner sinco
I was a child Ive always seemed to
know that mules will follow a gray
horse or hitch with him where they
wont have any truck with a horse of
any other color Ive seen the most
unruly mules behave properly when
In the company of a gray but Ive nev
er heard a good reason given for the
fact New York Sun
How She Viewed It
Perhaps she was jealous perhaps
she wasnt Anyway she had just
heard o the engagement and she
could not help noticing the engaged
girls pride In her captured youth
Really she said and her lips curl
ed scornfully theres no accounting
for tastes is there Some people think
they have won the game when they get
the booby prize
A Perilous Prospect
Coldeck I hadnt the heart to write
a note Break it gently to my wife
wont you Ills Second Now dont
feel that way about It my boy Youre
coming out of this affair safe and
sound Coldeck But it is more serious
than you think I have reliable infor
mation that Wildshot will fire in the

YOUR TRUE COMMUTER
He Must Be by Nature a Man Who
Takes to Routine
Your true commuter must be by na
ture a man who takes to routine
There are some who have commuted
for a quarter century or more and yet
have not acquired the trick and never
will They are the ones who write let
ters to the newspapers airing their
grievances against the heartless rail
road corporations They are not born
commuters They have had commuta
tion thrust upon them But many real
ly enjoy the life of the commuter
They like the clocklike regularity
They like the pleasant social aspect of
the early morning trip to town the
neighborly Interest in one anothers af
fairs the ample time for reading the
newspapers which numerous city resi
dents miss by not being obliged to get
an early start They look forward to
the pleasant relaxation of the whist
game on the way home with head on
one side to keep the smoko out of their
eyes Somo of them even say that
they enjoy being awakened early in
the morning
In time all who work In New York
will come to it Meanwhile for the
man with a family it appears to be In
many ways a happy solution of a diffi
cult problem Undoubtedly it is a more
wholesome existence physically but
mentally and spiritually It has the de
fects of its virtues when pursued all
the 3ear round The commuter devotes
the best part of the day to one narrow
corner of the city The rest of his
time not consumed on the train Is In
still more narrowing atmosphere of tho
suburbs He neither gets all the way
into the life of the city nor clean out
into the country So his view of things
has neither the perspective of robust
rurality nor the sophistication of a man
in the city and of it nis return to
nature is only halfway His urbanity
Is suburbanity Much of our literature
art and especially criticisms show the
taint of the commuters point of view

Do not measure your enjoyment by

A vigorous initiative and strong self

Lincoln and Stanton
There was a marked contrast be
tween Lincolns manner which was al

that of Stanton The latters stern
spectacled visage commanded Instant
respect and in many cases Inspired
fear In receiving visitors and they
were legion Stanton seldom or never
sat down but stood before a high desk
as the crowd passed before him and
one by one presented their requests or
complaints which were rapidly dis
posed of He was haughty severe
domineering and often rude When I

Gambling In Church
The mania for gambling will out
no matter how carefully hedged about

It took a conversation I overheard
at the close of the church service last
Sunday night to bring me to a realiza
tion of the virulence of the betting
fever said a Harlem woman I ac
tually heard two boys betting on the
skill of the sexton in snuffing out the
candles One bet 25 cents that he
would extinguish each candle at the
first application of the snuffers the
other that he wouldnt I had been
watching the proceedings with the
same thought In mind but It never oc
curred to me to bet on the outcome
