SUBJECTS Of ITALY TO BE DRIVEN FROM DOMAH SULTAN Fanatical Turks Threaten a Bloody Massacre of Italians Who Can Not Leave Turkish Seaports.
(Continued from Pajte One.) The new government in theD'Olma has taken possession of the castle formerly occupied by Atclng Turkish Kover-nor-General Hessim Bey, although parts of Its are badly shattered by Italian projectiles. New forts must be erected on the sites of the Sultanls and Hamidio works which, after being partly demolished by the Italian bombardment were swept by fire. These two fortresses command the harbor. John Wood, the American consul in Tripoli, has done much to prevent the looting of Turkish possessions by the Arabs who armed after the Turkish soldiers evacuated and has been thanked by the new governor.

TREES ARE HACKED
Residents of Richmond Avenue Resent Work of Telephone Linemen Morrison-Reeves Library Distributes 500 Music Rolls, Monthly.
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. What's the use of property owners setting out trees In front of their houses only to have them chopped and mutilated and made more hideous than if they were not by the wire people? This is what the residents along Richmond avenue are saying. And the trees are a sorry sight. It seems the latter interfered with the telephone wires. Comes along a wire man or his representative and begins cutting the trees into fancy shapes to suit the aesthetic ideas of the chopee. When property owners portested he informed them with becoming hauteur that the city had authorized him to do so. That be had taken a member of the board of public works, or someone had invited this official, over to point out the depredations the shade trees were committing on telephone wires and that the representative of the municipal government has given full permission to cut the trees flatly off at the top wherever they were in the way of the wires. What's the matter with having the wires elevated or placed somewhere else say underground where they wouldn't interfere with the trees. it has been said a thousand times, but its just as true if said a million, that the shade trees of this town are one of its chiefest assets, not only from an aesthetic stand-point, but in an indirect way, from a commercial point of view. What makes Paris the mecca of the sightseers and buyers of the world? Because of its constant attention to the aesthetic aspects of its civic activities. It is the most beautiful city in the world, or so accounted, and its authorities make this dominant. Later it turns golden coin into its citizens' coffers through the clever manipulation of this fact in the publications of the world. Public service corporations don't give a hang for anything but a right of way that is their particular right of way, wherever or however they want to operate. And they generally get it because municipalities, for example, make them any concession for a complexity or at times simplicity of reasons. Richmond is a small town. There is no reason why it should be at the mercy of the wire people. There's plenty of room to shove the wires up or bury them or retire them to the alleys. That the appearance of the town is being seriously impaired through the reckless operations of the wire people on the one haid, and the assinity of the sidewalk and curb cementing people on the other which between them have squeezed almost all the life out of the trees one only need to observe by walking round town. The beheading of the trees along Richmond avenue has caused much indignation among the residents along that street, and justifiably so. They say that some trees that weren't in ( the way of the wires were slashed into. By the way why not let Mr. John F. Thompson, the recently named city forester, whose appointment was a fitting one which did an honor to the town as Mr. Thompson is one of the best known tree authorities in the state, have some jurisdiction in a matter of this sort? What was he appointed for? Its easy enough to hack and chop trees. But is not is not so easy to make a tree grow. Is it. the trees along Richmond avenue, or any other street, or the system that makes all the trouble. The piano-player, once despised of the musician, has become one of his most invaluable allies. Through the use of this interesting musical adjunct to a household and through, also, the presence of innumerable machines which reproduce the actual vocal performances of singers, orchestras, bands and other musical aggregations, the general public is beBeautiful 25c size Whitman Fern Plants in pots for 10 cents, Saturday only, at THE FLOWER SHOP. 1015 Main Street POST CARD COUPON Clip this coupon and bring It to one of the Quigley Drug Stores, with 10 cents and receive one set of 25 colored view Post Cards of Richmond.

BY CITY'S CONSENT
, coining acquainted with the better class of music and even with the classics in a way never to have been accomplished directly, since the latter is practically prohibitive save in metropolitan centers or through the performance of amateurs which reach, necessarily a limited circle. At first the "talking machines" turned out only the cheapest product of the music-hall and vaudeville theater but now some of the most famous exponents of opera. The piano-player has made many persons, who would not be reached musically in any other way, familiar with much of the best in musical art, and the works of the most noted composers both of what is often termed "classical music," and that with a more popular appeal, but still of musical excellence, are, through this agency, made known to a catholic public. The experiment, therefore, of the Morrison-Reeves library in lending music rolls on the same basis as it does books, is an interesting one. Started, as told in the papers, within the year, it has at the present time assumed important proportions. Over five hundred rolls are loaned each month, the total number now available having reached thirteen hundred. This will be constantly augmented. While the majority of these ros are for eighty-eight note pianos, five hundred of them are for sixty-five note and that this activity of the library is appreciated is manifested by the fact that many calls for the loan of music rolls come from persons who do not care for books. Through this agency the local public is gradually becoming familiar with the best in musical art and it should make for a general refinement of taste which will be a boon to the supporters of our musical institutions. The Morrison-Reeves library is a pioneer in this peculiar phase of pub lic enlightenment, only one other library, so far as the writer of this column knows, having preceeded it in the introduction of this aid to the advancement of musical culture. That the piano-player is, however, becoming to be regarded as invaluable from an educational standpoint is illustrated by the following taken from a well-known musical journal: "The conservatory of music of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, has purchased a playerpiano to be used for 1 the new course in "musical appreciation." Any student in the university is admitted to this course without previous musical knowledge. The work consists of lectures, with illustrations on the playerpiano in all of the principles of musical structure, methods, aesthetics and criticism. "Louis A. Coerne, Ph. D., is director of the school of musrc and originator of the idea. The novel feature about this course is the use of an electric piano-ployer to demonstrate the beauty of the compositions. Two regular university credits are allowed each semester for this course. The work consists of lectures, with illustrations on the piano-player, in all the principles of musical structure, methods, aesthetics and criticism. The work begins with a consideration of the simpler forms of musical compositions such as the aria, the anthem and the sonata, from which it then proceeds to the analysis of larger compositions, such as symphonies, operas and oratorios." The Morrison-Reeves library is to be congratulated upon recognizing the early value of broadening its activities by adding to its shelves these appurtenances to the spread of musical knowledge.

CAIN STILL SURVIVES, One Historic Villain Who Has Net Been Placed Upon a Pedestal. It is the fashion now to pull down the idols of the past and set up new and hitherto comparatively unknown ones in their places, to rehabilitate the degraded and to reverse the decisions and the decrees of history. Speculation and criticism seek out dark spots aiv.l drag new heroes into light, while those wbo stand in the light of fame are scrutinized so closely that they seem but common things after all. 11 we go on at this rate much further we shall not have a villain left, nor n beauty, nor a hero. Helen was an old hag past sixty at the beginning of the Trojan war. Judas is already on his feet. Nero is absolved from bis murders. Ilenry VIII. has become a noble, free hearted spirit, and, as for his wives, the new version is. "Served them right." William Tell has vanished into the darkness f myths. Eugene Aram is a sentimentalist who could not help himself. N one but maniacs in their fits of madness is now guilty of murder. Almost no villain Is left us except Cain, and let us grapple him with hooks of steel. Let mo man try to take Cain from us. Story's "Conversations In a Studio."
SOUND WAVES. They Can Be Focused With a Lens Just as Light Can. Few people are aware that sound can be focussed just as light can. All are familiar with the burning glass or reading lens which, if placed in a beam of sunlight, will focus the rays into a small point which is so hot as to be able to set fire to a piece of paper. Light is a wave in the ether, but sound is a wave in a material medium, generally the air. If we make a convex lens out of rubber or collodion and fill it with gas heavier than air, say carbon dioxid, we shall have a sound lens analogous In nearly all respects to a glass lens for light. It will be found that we can focus sound waves in the following manner: Take a watch and place it some feet away from one side o? the lens and put your ear on a line with the watch and the center of the lens, but on the other side, and move outward from the lens. While moving out you cannot hear the watch until you get to a certain point where the waves are focused, at which place you will hear it plainly. This is called the conjugate focus of the watch.

ATHLETIC SLABMEN BECOME THESPIANS
(National News Association) DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 9. According to John R. Robinson, a former Detroit newspaper man be has secured the names of three of the Philadelphia Athletics star slabmen for a 16 weeks tour in the vaudeville circuit. "Bjg Chief" Bender, "Iron Man" Jack Coombs and "Cy" Morgan are the three named and they will appear in a sketch written by Frederick Allen of Detroit. Katheryn Pearl, former leading woman with Robert Hjlliard, will also appear, Robinson says. A Scolding Dress. "Before I take off this dress." said the woman to the home dressmaker, who was fitting a party gown. "I want to go into the kitchen and read the riot act to Maria." "Oh. not with this dress on," the dressmaker protested. "She is cooking and the grease might pop" "Can't help it." the woman interrupted. "Maria needs a lecture. She has been needing it for some time, but 1 didn't dare deliver it because I hadn't good enough clothes to make it effective. Maria is black and lately from the south. She judges people by the clothes they wear. If I had scolded in shirt waist and skirt or even in my old blue afternoon dress Maria would have scorned me, but with all this. finery on I can speak my piece and Maria will be properly impressed and maybe she will reform."

According to the law, if any one finds hidden treasure and conceals It for his own use he is liable to fine and imprisonment It used to be a hanging matter.
