BIG SNAKE CAUSED PANIC.
Unexpectedly Appealed in the Amer
ican Tair.
A series of ear-spllttlng shrieks of
the feminine vnrlety and an equally
vociferous mingling of oaths of the
genus male staitled Policeman Callan,
of tho AVest Thirtieth street station, as
ho was slowly walking ncioss Fourth
avenue at Twenty-third street last
night, says the New York Sun Tho
sounds came from the top Hoor of the
Academy of Design building. Callan
started for the door, but was rtopped
by v. small boy, who came tumbling
down the stalls.
"Dere's a snake five foot long nn'
you'd better hurry up," gasped the
youngster, na ho continued on his way
to the street. Callan hurried his pace,
und had mounted about two steps
when he collided with a man who was
In such a lunry ho did not stop to see
where ho was going
"There's a snake 10 feet long up
there. Shoot It and save the women!"
jelled the man, and he, too, ran on at
full speed. Callan giew nervous, but
continued to climb the stairs, und just
before ho reached tho top a woman
plumped herself into his arms.
' Savo me, office!" she cried.
"There's a snuke in there 15 feet long!"
"I'd better hurry or that snake will

get so big I can't kill It," said Callan
with a worried look, ns he started tho
woman downstairs.
Ho entered tho room whero tho
American Institute Is holding n fair
ond encountered the panic-stricken
crowd that was hurrying townrd tho
dooi. At the other end of tho loom
ho saw n snake about five feet long
moving leisurely across the floor as If
It renllzed that It was monarch of all
It surveyed and lather enjoyed the
commotion Its visit had caused.
Callan and several of tho attendants
who had recovered courage at tho sight
of his brass buttons charged on Ills
snnkeshlp. The reptile hissed nngrlly
nnd stuck out Its foiked tongue at them
with a lightning-like rnpidlty, but they
beat It to death with clubs without
anyone being bitten. Then Dr. Robert
Taylor, of Greenwich, Conn , one of the
managers of the fair, stepped forward
and declared that he knew nil about
snakes, ns he had at one time been
part owner of the old Aquarium at
Broadway and Thirty-fourth street.
It was a watersnake, he Bald, after
an examination, "and could not have
done any damage."
Policeman Callan picked tho snake
up by the tall and dragged it Ignomln
ously downstairs and threw It Into the
spvver. Much speculation was Indulged
In as to how the snake got Into the
building. Some declared It had come
through the sewer. Others opined that
It had come In a barrel of produce In
tended for the agricultural end of the
exhibition. One man, a friend of the
piess ngent of tho exposition, shook
his head admiringly and laughed.
"A I has been at lots of fairs," said
he, "but this beats them all. I'll bet he
could tell how the snake got there."
Mr. Allen S. Williams Indignantly de
nied the Imputation.
STUDY OF THE PIANOFORTE.
Tho Relation of the Clavier to Emo
tional and Expressive Playing.
Fiom tho April l'lanlst and Organist.
At a recent convention of music
teachers an essay was read, from which
I take the following extract.
"The characteristic trait In piano
forte execution is clean-cut crlspness
in the production of the tones. And
here, In passing, let me say for speedy
nnd sure acquirement of a brilliant
execution In planofoite playing, tho
Virgil practice clavier, when rightly
and sjstematlcally used. Is unrivalled
as a means. That Is the great merit
of the mechanism in question. When
to this positive affirmation with refer
ence to un Indispensable feature In ar
tistic pianoforte plaving there Is added
the futther statement that with emo
tional expression and feeling In the
fingers the Virgil clavier has nothing
whatever to do, a flood of light is
poured upon the entire subject of musi
cal touch and technlc in pianoforte
plajlng. To acquire execution, prac
tice In nimbly producing the clicks,
which in the Virgil clavier determine
the mode of flnger-actlon, Is Invaluable
to the pianist."
With the first part of this statement
every teacher who has made more than
a superficial Investigation Into the mer
its of the clavier must thoroughly
agree. The last part of the quotation,
however, contains just enough truth
to tender It misleading, and It Is with
this part thut the present article has
to do.
The statement "that with emotional
expression and feeling In the fingers
the Virgil clavier has nothing whatever
to do," Is partially true. This dictum
Is equally tiuo when applied to the
piano.
The piano is only a medium of ex
pression for the emotional feeling of
the pcrfoimer, and, as such, has only
tn do with the expression of such feel
ing. The piano per se does not develop
oi produce the emotional concept of the
player. That Is dependent upon broad
culture, reading, thinking, artistic tem
perament, studv. etc. If this Is the
meaning the speaker above quoted In
tended to convey eveiy thoughtful
musician will agree with him It may
also bo taken for gi anted that he did
not mean that there was any emotion
or feeling in the fingeis themselves, but
thnt they weie only the motois of ev
piesslon, conveying through the medium
of the keyboard nnd piano tone the
mental emotional concept formed In the
mind of the player.
Now. while the Virsll Clavier has
nothing whatever to do with the emo
tion and feeling of tho player, It has,
In conjunction with the clavier meth
od, eveiythlng to do with tne expres
sion through the fingers of such emo
tion, and does It in a fraction of the
time requlied by the piano The all
essential factor In the expression of
the plaver's emotion is fingers that are
absolutely rfsponslve to the will, and
until the muscles are completely under
the control of the mind the most poet
ical conception thnt may exist in the
bi.iln of the executant will fall of a
perfect realization Kujlak said years
ago- "Why talk of expression beforo
the fingers ar cipable of expression?"
and this Is as tiue today as it ever
was, vet the teachers who object to
the clavier method because It has too
much to do with technlc are In danger
of forgetting the fact that without
technlc there can be no musical or
emotional playing. Now, by technlc,
I do not mean the ability to play as
many notes as possible In a minute, but
tint nbsolutc mental control of the
muscular and nervous apparatus that
enables the player to produce any
touch or combination of touches with
any degree of power nt any necessary
speed with the subtlest shadings nnd
tone-coloilngs Instantaneously and
with perfect ease and lepose. It Is a
curious fact that the veiv musical
players who decry technlc as the god
of small minds are pieclsely the ones
who aie struggling hardest to get It.
Now an artistic technlc can be attain
ed b the use of the clavier and clavier
method in n fraction of the time re
quired at the piano.
In fact, a more tellable technlc can
be developed In one year at the clavier
than the mijotity of piano students
ever get. This, bo It said, however, is
only possible by using the clavier
method, the student who uses the
clavier simply as a silent practice in
stiument will get no greater results
than nt tho piano, except possibly in
the development of a quick up-action
of tho fingers, which Is of course an
Important factor In playing. There Is
hat diy anything in tho wholo range of

&mtWi fit sf i
piano technlc that has not been acute
ly and exhaustively annlyzed by Mr.
Virgil In the clavier method, so that It
may be clearly presented to the pupil.
Unfortunately tbe purely technical
side of the clavier method lies been the
one most exploited, but In the hands
of an artist teacher the method Is pro
ductive of the most astonishing re
sults from the purely musical side.
That many of the most thoughtful and
progressive teachets are beginning to
realize this fact Is proven by the deep
Interest they are manifesting In the
clavier theories, and tho large numbers
of them from all over the country who
are studying the method.

So savs a young man who tells how ho watched nt tho
bedside of his only brother. The doctor had frankly acknowl
edged that ho could do nothing more, nnd, with nerves
stretched to a cruel tension, the friends of the Invalid counted
the swings of the pendulum, wondering what the end would
do. Few of us reach middle life without some such experi
ence ns this, and that is why a letter like the following wilt
awaken a wide sMnpathctto Interest.
Kansas City, Mo.. January, 20th, 1S0S.
For nearly five years my sister, Mrs. T. II. Davis, was
afflicted with cystitis and failed to find relief fiom physicians
or their remedies. One bottle of Wnmer's Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure afforded great benefit nnd the second bottle effect
ed complete recoveiy. .My sister's suffering wns so Intense
that it seemed unbeatable, It being neccssaiy at times to
give hypodermic Injections of morphine to afford temporary
relief.
I recommended It to sufferers ft am liver nnd kidney
troubles ns a blessing.
JOHN R. LEWIS, M. D . 1920 E. 10th Street.
The profession and standing of tho writer give much
force to this letter. Dr. Lewis wns born In Albcrmaile
County, Virginia, In 1S31, nnd has lived In Missouri slnco
he was five yeurs old. He has pinctlccd medicine in St. Jo
seph a"d Kansas City. He Is descended fiom the Hist Gov-,
crnor of Missouri.
Cystitis, from which Mir. Davis suffered so terribly for
years, Is inflammation of the bladdct A peculiarity of the
bladder Is that It Is rarely nffected by a disease, originating
In itself. Most so-called bladder troubles ate really kidney
troubles.
Kidney diseases nre the most mjsterlous of all known
troubles. The fact Is that the kidneys have few symptoma
of their own, but possess nearly all the symptoms known to
suffering humanity.
When physicians of tho highest standing so unhesitat
ingly endorse a modern discovery which will certainly euro
the most terrible diseases, does It not stund to reason that
those of us who realize thnt we are slowly drifting Into a
etute of decline; that our kidneys, liver or urinary oigansaro
not what they should be, should avail ourselves of the bene
fits of eo great a scientific discovery, which are placed so
easily within our reach?
