AWFUL PAGE INCENf URY'SBOOK Hurtling Bteniuer bet Adrift Over NI asarn Falls In 1837. Trobnbly ono of the most horrible crimes of tlio century recently ended wits tlio burning of tlio Bteniuer Cnr ollno on the unper Niagara Hirer nnd her plunge orer the great fnlls nt mid night of Dec. 20, 1837. As the boat atitiroached the falls nnd the certnlnty of death tcrtill on board beenmo mani fest, tho air was rent with the shrieks of tho doomed nnd their frantic ap peals for uld that It was Impossible to render them were rlsiblo by tho glare of the burning boat At tho time mentioned tho feeling be tween the peoplo of Canada and the United States was not so friendly ns It Is to-day. The Anglo-Saxon union was then unmentloiicd, but, on tho con trary, a spirit of warfare proralled. At tho time the Caroline was burned and sent orer tho falls tho patriots had gathered In largo numbers on Nnvy Island, which Is but a shor'. distance nboro the fnlls In the Canadian portion of tho rlrer. Proclamation after proc lamation had been Issued by them from their Island headquarters, and, recognizing tho necessity of prompt action, Oorcrnor Sir Francis IJond Head hnd Issued a call for troops. In responso to this call nbout 2.C00 men had gathered on tho banks of the rlrer In tho vicinity. Out In tho rlrer on Nary Island the pntrlot strength was mnssed, whllo far BURNING OF beyond on tho Cnnadlau mnlnlnnd tho llrltlsh forces had asaombled. Thero n'ns no thought of danger among those who slept under the stars nnd stripes ut BchloHscr. Colonel McNab was In charge of tho Hrltlsh forces, and he hnd decided that tho steamer must 'bo destroyed. But this was n perilous undertaking nnd volunteers wcro asked to attcmp4 It. They wcro not long In coming to the front, ns tho prospect of nn alluring roward wan held out to them. As the Ill-fated steamer drifted down tho rapids towards tho cataract, a number caught In fancy tho walls of tho dying, hopolessly perishing by tho doublo horror of a fato which nothing could nrert Thoso on shore watched with ngonlzlng attention nnd close ness tho tlnmlng mnss until It was hurled orer the fnlls to bo crushed In orerlnstlng dnrkncsH nnd tho uufnth oined waters below. At Toronto serornl dnys nfter tho occurrence a public meeting was held nt which speeches were made lauding the bravery of tho miscreants who had net tiro to tho boat and cut her ndrlft In the current. In tho United States Indignation rnn high, nnd It wan only by tho greatest effort Hint tho states men of England nnd tliu United States succeeded In nrertlng tho out brenk of hostile deeds' Mint would linvo lurolred tho two nations In a protract ed' and sauguliinry conlllct. FIDDLES MADE IN GERMANY. rises and Manner In Which the Violin ,af the World Are Mmle. In tho village of Mlttenwnld, In tho henrt of the llavarlun highlands, llro tho men who iiiaiiufacturo tho greater part of tho world's supply of rlollns. Mlttenwnld hits taken tho plncu of Cremona, although It may tnko nn- other -00 years beforo Its rlollns can bo mcntloued In the same breath with thoso of tho famous Italian town. Of tho 1,800 Inhabitants of tlio village, over 800 are exclusively occupied with tho manufacture of rlollns, nnclthe out put reaches tho Incredible figure of 50, 000 rlollns per annum. Theynreexport ed to nil countries In tho world, the bettor Instruments going to Knglnud nnd America. Ono organization of makers nlono exports 13,000. Knch family of violln-mukcrs hns Its own particular trnde secret a sort of trick of tho trade, hnuded down from father to sou. Outsiders, and still more, rival makers aro not permitted Into a work shop that Is not theirs. The peoplo of Mlttenwnld huvo nn Interesting violin school, where tho village boys nro In structed In tho general techulcal de partments of violin building. In tho hall of this building Is an Inscrlpton to tho following effect: "Tho object of this school Is to Instruct the scholars accepted In It In the various arts con nected with tho manufacture of string ed Instruments, and to educate them as capable rlolln-makers." The course lasts three years, nnd em braces, In addition, the arts of drawing, singing, and playing on tho violin. In the building of n violin much Is left to tho Individuality of tho builder. It Is seldom that two rlollns aro exactly alike In every particular. Tho vil lagers of Mlttenwald nro generally of opinion that tho varulsh with which an Instrument Is covered is of tho first Im portance, nnd attribute the flue tone of tho violins mndo by Stradlvarlus, Guamerlus, and others to a secret of varnish which has evidently been lost forever. Mlttenwald uses maple wood for Its violins, brouiht from Uie'dla- tnnt forests of Dalmatla nnd Bosnia, nnd pine wood of a certain quality and reslnousness found only In the neighboring forests. The old-looking rlollns seen In many a music-shop win dow nro not Infrequently brand-new Instruments from Mlttenwnld. Tlio blackness nnd shnbblness,. the rubs and scratches, the Italian names of makers Inside, and the picturesque date let ug say of 171.1 are often the work of the Ingenious fiddle-makers of this remote Idyllic rlllago In Bnvnrln. "We must supply the market," they say In extenuation of this class of busi ness; "If we do not, some ono else will." London Lclsuro Hour. Famous Jewels Owned by Americans Tho curious Incident In connection with the lost Jewels Innocently appro priated by the Duchess of Manchester's tnnld recalls the fact that some of the most magnificent and historic Jewels In tho world nro In tho pos session of Americans. Mrs. Irad lcy Mnrtlti has somo of tho French crown Jewels, somo of which nro also the property of Mrs. Astor, who has n diamond ornament which once belong ed to DInno do I'olctlors. Tho Duchess of Marlborough has tho famous Orloff penrls, once the property of Catherine of Hussln; Mrs. Clarence Mnckay hns some curious rings which formerly ndorned a Hindu rnjali; Mrs. Georgo Vandcrbllt hns a wonderful rope of rubles unsurpassed by anything of the TIip CAROLINE. kind, whllo Mrs. Webb hns a rope of pearls which rival In beauty those of Queen Mnrgherltn. Mrs. Ogllrlo Hntg hns somo mngultlcent Jewels, nnd those of Countess Donl dc Cnstclluno nnd Lady Curaon of Kedlestou are ulso very line. Muoli of Lilttlc. Tho stranger In any city hnlf n hun dred years old, If he knew anything of tho city's history, would learn from many of tho signs that tho second and third generations had succeeded to tho business of father and grandfather. It 14 especially true of New, York. Tho tow iork Times mentions somo po tior signs, and relates tho following, w llch wo tnko to bo true, although wo dt not vouch for It: V. Londoner, who hnd strolled about tlo streets of tho city with n New Yorker who called his nttentlon to somo of the signs of sons, ngreed that In this respect Now York wns very llko Loudon, but In neither city wns there tiny such sign nn ho snw In ono of tho old Kiigllsh towns n few hours run from tho world's metropolis. Tho sign rends: John T.lttloJnhn's Sons nnd Little (I.ltllo I.ittlejohn, Doollttlo I.lttli'Jolm tind John Little). Accoiding to the Londoner, tho first Llttlcjulm and Llttlo were pnrtnnrs. Tho former gnve his first son his part ner's family name, and Little gnve his boy his partner's Christian name. Lit tlejohn's second Ron wns named, for his mother's family, Doollttlo. Tho three sons succeeded to their father's business, hcuicn the sign Is entirely correct, nnd the Londoner was right In saying that tho successors hnd no In tention of being "fanny" when they had their sign written ns It appears. Only a Small Favor. A quiet, middle-aged man who wns In nttcudauco nt an operatic perform ance wns much annoyed nt tho be havior of two young womeu In tho row of heats behind him. Calling one of tho ushers, ho put n coin in his hnnd nnd whispered some thing in his ear. Tlio usher went nway, nnd presently camo back and handed him a small package. When tho curtain went down at tho closo of tho first act he turned In his seat nnd said with n smile to the youug woman directly behlud him: "I beg your pardon, miss, but may I ask n slight favor of you?" "What Is It?' sho said. "IMenso ttso this stick of gum In placo of the kind you are chewing. Tho odor of wlntergreen is very offensive to me." After that he was not disturbed. In the Itealin or Shades, "What Is nil that row orer there by tho Styx?" asked the shade of Napo leon of the shade of Hen Jonsou. "Why, that Is Bacon. Shnkspeare, and that newcomer, Donnelly, Each U trying to convince the other that ho Is wrong." Baltimore American. Old Massachusetts Family. The Her. James do Normandle told tho other day that ho had Just otllclat ed at the wedding In tho eighth genera tion from the llrst white settler in Iloxbury, and that the family still lives on the land of the old homestead. The most tiresome thing on earth li a practical joke. A good many women carry amiabil ity too far. 8TEAMER3 ALTONA AND POMONA DAILY EXCEPT SUNDAY FOR I Salem and Way Landings. Leaves Taylor street.
