RAILROAD INSTEAD OF WATERWAY) = Desire of West Virginia Central to Secure an Outlet. i DEALING WITH BALTIMORE ices lean ie Fe The statement was made a short time before the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company went into the hands of receivers by bankers who were in close relationship with the then management of the company that if such an extreme course was re- sorted to one of the main reasons would be the desire of the security holders of the main lines of the system to get clear of what are termed the unprofitable branch and which could be gotten rid of In no other manner than by a receiver. It is well known that the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, whose present relations to the B. and O. were explained in The Star of Monday, is unable to earn a tenth part of the sum needed to pay the in- terest on its outstanding bonds, not a sin- gle holder of which, outside of those who happen to be the owners of the small amount tssued in 1SS4, derives an iota of benefit from them, and the theory has been advanced that when the plan of the New York reorganization committee of the B. and O. is submitted it will be found to contain a provision for the surrender of the canal to the state of Maryland. In this event the sale of the property would follow in due course, and it is pret- ty safe to predict that the result would be that in a few years at most a new and important railway west, southwest and northwest of Cumberland, Md., either over own or connecting lines, and that taps rich and valuable territory which is constantly increasing in population and wealth would be brought into Washington. Given any sort of an opportunity to se- cure the Chesapeake and Ohio canal at a fair price, not, of course, what it cost originally, but what a commission of ex- perts would value it in these days, and it is believed by those who have given the matter serious attention that the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railroad Company, which 1s composed of some of the most prominent men of this city and nation, will be glad to purchase it. An Important Line. There is a disposition on the part of some railroad managers to discount the importance of the W. V. C. and Pittsburg road, and while at this time it extends onty from Cumberland, Md., to Elkins, W. Va., a distance of about 1) miles, it will undoubtedly in the near future reach Cuarleston, W. Va. to which point the company has a charter. By a traffic ar- rangement with the B. and O. its freight trains go to Pittsburg and other northern points, und under similar agreements with the Pennsylvania company it gets its pro- ducts to Washington, Baltimore and points east. When it is taken into consideration that the stock of the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg is held by the Pennsyl- vauia company, ex-United States Senator Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia, who is president of the company man and Elkins, the Blaine estate, R. C. rens, the noted politician of St.’ Louts, cnd Several other persons of equal celeb- rity. it can easily be seen that so far as money is concerned those interested the W. V. C. and P. are able to construct a railroad of any length they may wish. Entrance to Washington, Several years ayo this company submitted a proposition to the board of public works ot Maryland to purchase the Chesapeake and Ohio canal at a stipulated valuation, which was, of course, much less than what the state had invested in it, intending to close it up as a waterway and to build a railroad in the bed all the way from Cum- berland to this city. This proposition did not receive tion frem the board of pub cause, as heretofore stated in IS#4 bondnolders secured a decision the Court of Appeals In their favor. ‘There is every reason to believe that the W. V. C. and Pittsburg is as anxious now from berland to Hagerstown, seventy miles, where it could tap the Western Maryland railroad, and the directors have been au- thorized to issue bonds to the amount ot $3,000,000 for the purpose of constructing it, but none of the bonds have been issued, one reason being that it is an open secret that the company desires to buy the West- ern Maryland, if it can do so. It is not improbable that this result will eventually happen, as the city of Balti- more is a creditor of the Western Mary- land to the extent of more than $7,000,000, while of the bonds of the railroad company 1d by it, the city receives interest on but 1 very small portion. Added to this is the fact that in the course of a very few years the city of Baltimore will, it is expected, be calle] upon to pay several millions bond- ed indebtedness of the railroad, for which the city is indorser. Efforts to Buy. ‘The West Virginia Central and Pittsburg some time ago submitted an offer to the ity of Baltimore for the purchase of its interest in the road, and the acceptance of tie proposition was favored by the then mayor of the city and a large number ot the most prominent citizens, but a great hue and cry was raised that if carfied out it would cause the diversion of a great deal of trade from Baltimore, and as the West- ern Maryland has managed since that time to pay the interest on one or two issues of its bonds held by the city, the subject has n permitted to take a rest. The West Virginia Central and Pittsburg could, it is believed, secure a favorable traffié arrangement with the Western Mary- land at this time, but it would, it is be- lieved, be of very little, if any, practical benefit to the former company, as the West- ern Maryland, with the exception of about twenty miles’ near Ballimore, is a single ack line, and has so much traffic that it hardly accommodate its own business, there are so many passenger trains whi running in the daytime on the main line between Hagerstown and Baltimore that searcely any freights are operated, except at might. It is also deticient in locofmotive equipment, such as would be necessary to haul a traffic as great as the West Virginia Central and Pittsberg equid offer it. Should the latter company secure contral of the Western Maryland it would undoubt- edly speedily double-track its acquisition throughout the entire main line. The con- struction of a switch at Fulton, which is at the west end of the Baltimore and Po- tomac Railroad Company’s tunnel at Bal- timore, would place the controlling road in close connection with Washington, vik the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, over which its cars would, of course, reach here. Outside of being the means of enabling it to reach Baltimore and Washington, there FL ME —_~ Much more xa} nd much tory and com. expensive.

In the former city the Western Maryland has been granted by the city council a char- ter for the construction of a belt line, under the name of Western Maryland Terminal Company, which confers privileges worth at the present time millions of dollars, and whose prospective value cannot be esti- mated, but it has so far not succeeded in getting a company organized to carry its plans into effect. The subject of the sale of the interest of the city of Baltimore in the Western Mary- land road was very fully discussed in the city council a little over two years ago, and, in May, 18%, a commission of eminent bank- ers, to whom the matter was referred, re- ported that they deemed it advisable for the city to defer selling for two years, provided the road would pay interest on oye or two certain series of bonds promptly. ‘This period of probation is almest up, and, in view of the fact that the tax rate in Bal- timore has been placed at 2 per $100 for 1896, an exceedingly high figure for the peo- ple of that city, the whole question will, it is likely, be again shortly reopened.

I couldn't tell whether the swarm was moving with the old man or he was moving with the swarm, the bees were so thick about him, but the group kept up a continual migration till at last the door of my little poultry yard was reached. A heavily blossomed rose bush grew just be- side the gate, and upon this, at length, the quecn seemed to have made up her mind She made a dive downward, the swarm following, when, just at the criti- cal moment, a hen from the poultry yard, with a ioud cackle, flew from her nest into the ve “Drat dat ole fool hen!

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. ‘There is a violin maker in this clty who has an altogether new theory in regard to this instrument, and one so new that it is totally at variance with the general im- pressicn, It is that there is no accident or luck in the supertor tone of a violin, but Uhat they can be made of a given tone one after the other with perfect assurance. It has been asserted that a good, honest violin maker may turn out fifty specimens of his best work, and yet only a few of these prove to be first-class instruments. The listory of famous masters in the art would em to bear out this assertion. H. W. Oakes, who has been making vio- lins in this city for eighteen months, and elsewhere for nearly twice as many years, brushes all this away like a moldy cobweb, and says he can insure a first-class instru- ment every time, and that there is no secret about it. A “The trouble about all the makers is that they do all their work by rule of thumb and by the eye. I make mine by mathe- matical rules. Once having attained a cer- tain perfection I can duplicate that result with mathematical accuracy.” “And the tone? “The tone follows as a matter of course. It must. Now, there used to be secrets in the art, of course. It was long before any one could turn out an Instrument that could compete with the old Cremonas. First, they thought the secret of the lat- ter's superiority lay in the varnish, and many years were spent in attempts to find out that secret. They found it out at last, or rather, that it was no secret. They dis- covered that the cabinet makers of Cre- mona used the same varnish as Stradivari vsed. Then they thought the secret must be in the wood, and for some time they pinned their confidence to that. They took extraordinary pains to get just such reso- nance and letter tone, and even took the wood from a fine violin and put it with other wood, but with all their efforts they made as many faiflures as successes. “Now, Stradivari used the same material tor the whole of the 800 violins he made, and yet the good violins were the accident. j and Cap'n Baldwin were hunting once Only fifty of all he nyade turned out to be gcod instruments, and yet you call him a maste: © “Are there any violins comparable with these fifty?” “Certainly. Within the last fifty years just as good violins have been made as have ever been made.” ut age has something to do with tone?” “Undoubtedly, provided the violin is played on. It might He a tentury, and if not used would not Imprevegat all. Violins are like everything else in e world; they have their birth, their, grgwth, maturity and decline. I would sey ithat at about seventy-five a violin would be at its best. I know that after one Run years they begin to lose their power, and Sually be- come comparatively warthjess so far as tone is concerned.” b “And how, in making an instrument, are yeu so confident what its itdne will be, Mr. Oakes?” “By this little machine yhere.” he re- Plied, pointing to a machine that had the appearance of a little turning lathe. “If you take one of my viollns nd mark it in- to small squares, you will find the thick- ness corresponds in éach corresponding square. This machine wilt show the differ- ence, if it is only the thickness of a piece of gold leaf. I spent twenty years studying the defects of violins and how to remedy them before I made one. Then I got it dewn to mathematical nicety, and I made this machine to insure it. “Why, here is a shop viokn, costing $1.50, that I have worked on for experiment. Be- cause of its correcticn of tone it is now worth from $50 to $100.” “How many violins could you make in a year?’ “I could make about one first-class one a month; say ten in the course of a year, and it I disposed of that number in Seattle I should be contented and happy.” “If they should all prove to be good?” was hazarded. “There is no if. They would be mathe- matically perfect, and the tone would speak for itself, straight to the heart of those who know music.” Silks at a Loss.

Hide and Scek Between a Plainsman and a Wounded Bull. From the New York Sun. A tall, wiry man, with a bronzed face and the peculiar swing to his gait that western- ers have, showing in marked contrast with the walk of the Maine woodsman, Jack Darling, was to be seen any day at the Sportsmen's exposition while it lasted. His name Is L. A. Hoffman, and he is from Miles City, Mont. “Can he shoot?" asked a man. “Well, rather,” a man who knew Hoffman aiswered. “He's killed everything from buffaloes to Indians, I reckon. Why, say, he out between northern Missouri and the Yellow- stone river somewhere when tie fellow who was zhead of the line reported two elk Hoffman and the cap'n piled out of the am- bulance, and pretty soon they were about 400 yards from the animals, who wouldn't be any closer, seeing as they were alarmed by this time. The two opened on them, first one, then t'other. One elk went out of sight all of a sudden; the other is going yet. They fourd the bull elk dead in a depression. There wasn't a sign of a wound that they could find. “I killed him,’ says the cap'n. You didn’t,” said Hoffman. ‘Show where you hit “Hoffman knew. He bad seen every bul- jet strike the dirt before or behind the an- imals except one of bis. So they argued and joshed one another till by and by Hoft- man got to thinking. The upshot of it was Hoffman got up and went to the elk’s head, and rubbed his finger around the burrs of Right up in the shadew of the horns, where it hadn't been noticed, was a bullet, hole that ran down into the animal's rain: said Hoffman, ‘look here, cap'n.’ cut the bullet out, and it was Hoff- of course. That's the kind of man Hoffman is. Mr. Hoffman was asked what was the most Interesting experierce he had ever had with an animal. He thought a while, then said: “You see, I have been out there twenty- two years now, and it takes some time to calculate on them, but I remember once when I first got out there. I was a pretty green lad then. I'd heen there about a year, and had killed a few score buffaloes, making the first money that way I ever earned out in that country. I killed a few that day—thirty or forty—and was just go- irg to camp about dusk, up through a draw with almost perpendicule® sides, when I came to a place where buffaloes cross such sulleys, where they go down and climb up or the far side again. I looked up, and there was a big bull's head and shoulders showing over the bank, looking like that one there,” pointing to a head that G. O. Shields, editor of Recreation, had killed. *“I took out the ramrod, which I had put in to cool the gun barrel off, it being heated by rapid shooting. Well, I up and shot, and the head went out of sight like a scared panther. “I climbed up on the opposite side of the draw—I didn’t care to be any closer to a wounded bull than necessary—and there lay the bull stretched out, dead, I thought, but IT wasn’t taking any chances, so I yelled at him. He got up quick as a coyote, and went smashing down into the draw, in- tending to come up on my side. I watched him to see what else he would do, because I knew I could get him after he had started up my bank. He tried to climb, but slipped back. He was sticking out his tongue and licking his upper lip, just like all buffaloes do when they are right down fizhting angry. “He wasn't nice looking at any time—a big mangy bull with the hide hanging off him in folds never is. He looked uncanny when ke was lying down playing ‘possum in tke dusk, but his eyes looked worse down in the draw. After a bit his wound got pretty sore, and he began to act Hke a wounded jack rabbit—they always skulk. There were a lot of pyramids of dried mud down in the draw that were anywhere from three to twelve feet tall. He would get be- hind one of those and I'd walk along io where I could see him. There he would stand with his nose almost to the ground, lis eyes shut—just like a deer in a snow storm, or a whipped dog. He was sick. T'd get where I could see him. In a minute he would feel that some ene was looking at h:m and he would open his eyes, see e, then sneak off again.

The case, layman's parlance, is known as that of a whistling ‘larnyx, though the doctors have a technical name for it, which is at o sounding and confusing to the average in- telligence. The individual in whom this peculiarity has developed is the little dau: ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Spear of lumbus avenue. Eva is eight years old. and, notwithstanding her youth, the case remarkably well developed. In plain terms, this little lady is able to whistle without the use of her lips, pharynx, palate, or M of which are brought into play rdinary whistler. e the first manifestation of her whistling ability when but cwo ars of age. Mr. Spear lived near a talk- hich wa: apt at mimicking ations between the members of the On one occasion he repeated a rm . Spear to Eva. Mrs. hed to the little one remark in an exact imitation of manner in which it was repeated by the Her astonishment amounted to am- zement when the little one mimicked the whistle of the parr the slightest effort. apparent then that the whistle was not produced by lips and tongue, as people ordinarily whis- tle, but by the throat or some part of it. Eva rapidly developed the ability to whis- tle in this peculiar manner, until she now whistles popular airs, or such snatches of them as she hears, without using her lips. Prof. Bonney, the musical instructor, was xreatly interested upon learning of Eva's whistling ability and at once manifested a desire to investigate the ¢ He listened to an impromptu performance by the little girl, and requested another. He pronounces the case worthy of the attention not only of the medical profession, but of the mu instructors. At present Eva's whistling rontined to those snatches of popular son: ich she hears her sisters play on the piano and to the hymns which are common in the household. She has no techni knowledge of music, but whistles “by ear. When she is doing so her lips are as they would be when at perfect rest. There is not ihe slightest contraction of them or any movement. She whistles equally well with her mouth tightly closed. Upon at- tempting a high note, however, she uncon- ciously opens her mouth as a Singer would in attempting the same thing. Howey there is no suggestion of singing in her whistling. a A Monkey as a Nurse. From the New York Commercial Advertiser. There are not many mothers who would fancy a monkey as a nurse for their babie: yet the capacity for tenderness in thes: creatures—surely the least understood by us all of the brute creation!—seems almost to warrant the Darwinian theory that they have in them humaa elements One of the most popular passenger on board a Union steamer that recently arrived at South- ampton from South Africa was a large monkey, who had been instrumental in saving the Hfe of a child. the terrible explosion in Johan- one of the many ruined house was found to contain only ene room intact; in this was a cradle, and in the cradle a dead baby, killed by some falling debris. Its twin was alive, and was being tenderly nursed In the arms of the great monkey, who had evidently snatched it up out of the way of danger. It will be remembered that a similar service was rendered by a monkey to a scion of the ducal house of Leinster—the peril in that case being from fire—and that the crest of the family is borne as a token of their gratitude to the brave animal. The latest monkey hero is evidently passionately fond of children, for he paid ceascless attention to all the babies on the boat, and was perfectly happy if al- lowed to nurse them, which “he did with great skill.

Hts. From 7 The most extraordinary of all light houses is to be found on Arnish Rock, Stornoway bay—a rock which #s separated from the Island of Lewis by 2 channel over 5”) fee: wide. It is in the Hebrides, Scotland. On this rock a conical beacon is erected, and on Its summit a lantern is fixed, from which, uight after night, shines a light which is seen by the fishermen far and wide. Yet there is no burning lamp in the lantern, and no attendant ever goes to it, mp for the simple reason that there is no to attend to, no wick to trim, and no well to replenish.

A remarkable accident occurred to Santa Fe train running from Santa Monica to Los Angeles this morning. The locomo- the tive strrck a cow and the animal was thrown wth great force against a tele- graph pole a few feet from the track, breaking it. The broken pole fell toward the train, striking a car and crashing through the windows. Some of the passen- gers had a narrow escape from being cut by flying glass. The pole hit a brakeman, just missing his head. He escaped with ugiy brvtses.
