INVENTOR FINOS
VI0LI -SECRET
Stradivarius Varnish Discov
ered by Artist Who Cre
ates Marvelous Tones.
Philadelphia, Feb. 22. Philadelphia,
may become the Cremona of the twen
tieth century. Professor John Horvath
-of the Pine Street School of Music, be
lieves he ha discovered the secret of
Antanlus Stradivarius, whose violins
command fabulous price because of
their marvelous tone.
Professor Horvath ha been experi
menting in this direction for 25 years.
Last week he gave his second demon
stration before an Invited company of
violin virtuosos and collectors.
Two violins had been selected a week
before for experiment. One had cost
,2; it was marked for identification.
The other was fresh from a factory,
free from Varnish and cost 122.60. It
was virtually timeless.
These instruments were treated with
Professor Horvath's varnish, which he
believe Is the same as that used by
Stradivarius. and last Friday evening
they were exhibited. Both had been
transformed. The $2 violin wa of im-
erfcct shape, but had acquired a splen
id tone.
Enthusiastic Over Instrument.
It wan with the other and newer in.
strument that had had no treatment
other than Horvath's, that enthusiasm
was created. For the purposes of com
parison there were a number of other
violins, one a genuine Amatl, worth
$1,200 and the others ranging In value
down to $600.
Several eminent violinists of the city
,u u
played alternately upon these old and
valuable instruments and then upon the
cheap, new fiddle. The verdict was that
the new Instrument produced the finer
and more wonderful tone.
This result was far beyond the expec
tations of the discoverer himself, as he
had stated in the lecture before the vio
lins were tested that It was beyond his
ambition to reproduce instruments that
might equal those of the old masters.
What ho hoped to do was to improve
the quality of the tone of the ordinary
violin by imparting: at least a part o
the same singing tone, and make reason
ably good instruments available to or
dlnary students of the violin.
It was only when the comparison of
mo lone or tne new instrument with
the old ores was made that Its macnlfl
cent quality was discovered, and It was
nailed wun delight ty all present.
Triumph Exceed Expectation.
The Amati had arrived from New
Tork Just as the meetlngthad assembled,
and Hovartn had not played upon It II
had already 'compared his new instru
ment with vloltns worth from 1100 t
$300, and had not anticipated such a trl
umph over the collection that had been
sent over rrom New lork for com para
tlve purposes.
His next steo will be to treat BO-.new
violins of the same sort as the one that
created the furore last week. They

linists In the city, to be tested for six
monins. jr. at tne end pf that tlm

Berlin, Feb. 22. Emperor William
has suggested the idea of a new ex
change 'system between the United
States and Germany, this time In the
matter of art. When the kaiser heard
of the proposed visit of the Berlin
sculptor, Schott, to the United States,
at the end of February, to organize an
exhibition of German sculpture for the
close of the year, he explained:
"Why, here a tho germ of an art ex
change between Germany and America,"
and promised to support the sculpture
exhibition.
It has developed that Schott com
plains that the chief r difficulty is the
high duty on work of art imposed by
the United States. Ambassador Tower
has suggested that congress should pass
a law that exhibits which are worth
above tl, 000,000 need hot pay duty, as
the aim of the exhibition is entirely un
commercial. Before his departure for America1 Mr.
Schott' friends, with the support of the
kaiser, will try- to organise an exhibi
tion, of American art work In. Berila
Democracy Continues Fight
Against Present Oppres
sive Electoral System.
Berlin, Feb. 17. Prussia's democracy
is continuing a fight which is likely to
shake to Its foundations the greatest of
Germany's confederated states.
The fight is directed against the an
tique, oppressive, unrepresentative
electoral system described by Bismarck
as "the most wretched in the world."
Nineteen out of 20 Prussians have no
more to do with the elections to the
Prussian Lantag, or parliament, than
they have to do with elections in Aus
tria or Spain.
Whereas, federal Germany has uni
versal suffrage, every adult man voting
upon equal terms to the Reichstag, the
mass of Prussia's Adult men aro totally
unrepresented In the really more Im
portant Prussian parliament which deals
with their domestic affairs.
So Prussia has at last revolted. The
campaign against the mediaeval Land
tag, begun by the Radical party, has
been taken up vehemently by all parties
who have decided not to limit their de
mands to the mere adult manhood suf
frage which exists in other states, but
to demand that adult women as well as
adult men shall have votes.
For badness PruaKln'n electoral law
has no parallel In western Europe. Its
only rival In badness anywhere is the
new .Russian duma law. in nrenarlnir
which the czar borrower! the worst vices
of Prussia's law, and superimposed upon
mem special injustices or his own.
In the Prussian svstem wealth counts
for everything, and work for nothing.
The electoral districts are cut up Into
three divisions. The divisions vote sep
arately. The very rich men vote in
one, men a little less rich In another.
and In the third is compressed the vast
iuuhs oi r russia s toners, u ne xirst two
classes of course outvote helplessly the
Orange. K J.. Feb. II. After 70 years
spent In the service of one family. Miss
Mary A. Aylcsworth Is dead, and today
her body will be laid to rest in the cem
etery plot where lie the bodies of many
of tlioae she served.
Miss Ayh'sworlh was born in Provi
dence, Rhode Island, in 1818. and 1S37
entered the family of the Rev. William
Hague as nurse. She remained there
until 1873, when she went to Mrs. Jo
seph Campbell, daughter of Mr. Hague,
whose nurse she had been.
She cared for Mrs. Campbell's five
children and remained in the family un
til her death.
1-ast fall she fell and fractured her hip
and has been helpless ever since.
Governor B. B. Brooks of Wyoming,
who began his career as a farmhand and
cowpuncher, is now one of the wealthi
est men of his state and the owner of a
rancn or iuu.uoo acres.
