From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Nobody needs go hungry in this city. The l-cent restaurant of the Provident Asso- ciation settles that. One cent buys a cup of coffee, another cent a plate of bread, a third cent a generous portion of beans, and the remaining 2 cents in a nickel a meat stew. On this basis the restaurant almost pays its way, but, of course, special con- tributions, no matter how small, are always welcome. <A dollar will provide a whole- some and comforting meal for twenty peo- ple, or pay for 100 cups of coffee, and noth- ing brightens up the world so speedily for the pennile: s a smoking cup of what Byron ealls “the sober berry’s juice.” It is a good idea to keep in the pocket a sup- ply of the Provident oclation’s meal tickets to hand out to any one who he The association has a rare way alue of a coin bestowed in charity. ——___+ + Jefferson's Violin. From the Baltimore Herald. Genuine Nicholas Amati violins are as rare as they dre costly, but when such an instrument comes into posse: pm of a mu- sician of the present, after having once been the property of Thomas Jefferson, Pre dent of the United States, its value is need threefold. Such a_ historic en music maker is just now being manipulated by Mr. David L. Bartlett, to whom it was loaned by Albert Hildebrandt, the well- known connoisseur collector of this city. The anner in which the rare old fiddle was secured is decidedly ng. Not long since Mr. Hildebrandt, who is a ‘cellist The Busy Corner, [ of ability, together with Fred H. Gott- lieb, flutist; Isidor Dubowits, violinist, and Richard Meyer, pianist, went to Charlottes- ville, Va., to give a concert for the benefit of a charity organization there. Just after the concert Mr. Hildebrandt was told that Richard Scott, a 93-year-old negro, living at the foot of the Monticello Hills, had in his possession a violin which was apparent- ly of great value. Quick to scent an old- time instrument, Mr. Hildebrandt went in search of Scott, and found him at work in a field near his cabin. The old man stated that the fiddle had been handed down to him by his father, who had been a slave in the family of Thomas Jefferson. Scott readily agreed for a consideration to part with the violin, which, upon inspection, proved to be a genuine Nicholas Amati, which ranks with the Stradivarius for value and rarity. ——— oe Mormons 1 Michigan, From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Beaver isiand, sixty miles west of Pet key, Mich., once the home of ‘King’ Strang, the head of the Mormon movement in the north, is again the subject of con- tention. Strang’s colony of Mormons, which controlled Beaver @sland for many years and over which he ruled with a not en- tirely bloodless administration, became so dangerous in the early "50s that the state and local authorities dared not attempt to enforce the laws. A raid from the main land in 1856 destroyed the colony and drove oft the Mormons. Now a systematic or- ganization has been effected with the in- tion of gaining sufficient Mormon strength in Michigan to reclaim the island, to which they assert they have never given the state legal possession. soe Miss Moran of Richmond denies engaged to Count Colonna of Paris. he is 8th and Market Space. | S.

Views of J. D. Croissant, Represent- ing the Opposition. At the recent hearing before. the House committee on the District of Columbia up- on the questicn of suffrage in the District of Cclumbia, Mr. J. D. Croissant, repre senting the cpposition, asked if the com- mittee would hear those opposed to. the question. The committee replicd in the affirmative. Mr. Croissant has addressed the following letter to Representative Cur- Us, acting rman of the committee: By your courtesy I was yesterday al- lowed to ask your committee for a hearing for those opp to granting the right ot suffrage ia this District before final action was taken on the bill now before you. “I was constrained to make this request after listenirg to the arguments of the committee favoring the measure, as I wi convinced they did not represent the over- whelming rrajority of the citizens of Wash- ingten, who not only do not want popular suffrage, but do not believe that Congr: has any right to grant it to them. “Article I, section 8, paragraph 17, of the Constitution of the United States’ re: ‘Congress shall have the power of exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever over such District as may. by cession of partic- ular states, and acceptance by Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States.’ We have therefore not been deprived of our franchise by Congress, nor can such ngress restore it to us, except by circumscribed limitations as to be an aggravation and worse than use- : this view has been sustained py courts. “Again, municipal government, as at pres- ent conducted in the large cities of this country, is not reassuring, and we do not want to try doubtful experiments where no necessity exists, and we have at pres- ent one of the best governed cities in the world, with an administration that is pro- gressive, yet economical, and presided over by a board of Commissioners that is ener- getic, fearless and yet conservative, and in whose cour and administration party politics (that bane and blight of all munici- pal government) are entirely eiiminated. We await your pleasure as to when we can be heard, provided any expression from the opposition to the measure {s desired by your honorable committee.” —— ARMY AND NAVY.
