A NIGHT WITH IRISH PIPERS. The Marvelous Melody Produced by John Egan and T. F. Kerrigan. PYom the New York Evening Sun. “Have you ever heal’d tho Irish bag pipe*! “I don’t know. They are the same as the Scotch pipes, are they not?’ “Decidedly not. But if yoit want a real treat in the way of an evening of Irish music played by an Irishman upon the Irish pipes, meet me this evening at P. B. Egan’s Cornucopia. John Egan, who is probably the greatest of living bagpipers, will bo there.” The speaker was a cultivated Irish gentle man. himself a fine musician, and an en thusiast in the music of his native land. His evening invitation was accepted. A num ber of ladies and gentlemen had already as sembled upon invitation of Mr. P. B. Egan. The piper and his pipes were likewise there. As the reporter and his friend entered the ro om tie strident tones of the tuning pipes had already set the sound waves in Univer sity place to dancing in wild confusion. The piper, with head thrown lines and eyes cast upward, began the “Conlin.” As the weird and fascinating strains, played by a master hand, were heard, all yielded to the influence. Heads, hands and feet re sponded to the enticements of the air, while the glistening eyes of the natives of Ireland attested the charm which the national music has for Erins’s sons, “There’s history in that tune,” said the friend. “Tho ‘Conlin’ means ‘the lad with the flowing locks.' Henry VIII. ordered the locks of the Irish to bo shorn. After the edict was carried out the Irish were called ‘Croppies.’ The air, of course, be came greatly endeared to the oppressed of Ireland, and has lived to this day. although the original words have been lost.” While the “Conlin” was being played the reporter had full opportunity to note the difference between the Scotch and Irish pijje.s. The shrill, piercing quality of the Scotch pipes was lacking. In its place was a more pleasing musical tone. Tim Scotch pipes can be heard further, but unlike them, the Irish pipes do not need distance to lend enchantment to the sound. Again tho pipes were adjusted, and “Vie Pretty Girl Milking the Cow” was /hayed with all the attractiveness of skill find feel ing. “Kathleen Mavoumeen” gains anew mournfulness and sweetness when played upon the pipes. “Garry Owen” and “Pat Malloy" are themselves alone when the piper pictures them to the ear. These- and many other airs the piper played, all of j them joyously or tenderly reminiscent of boyhood’s happy days and scenes. Then came the “Blackbird.” “That’s a ’treason’ song,” said the friend. “The Irish adherents of the Stuarts had a song set to that air. Tho words were treas onable, from an English point of view, and ere long the air itself was called the same. Many an Irishman has languished for weeks and months in a noisome prison for simply whistling or humming that tune.” The music was ended. The green goose with the long neck had collapsed into an empty green silk bag. The dismembered pipes reposed in their case. Tho white haired piper received the reporter and his congratulations with a friendly greeting and a smile. “Yes, sir; these pipes were made in this country by William Taylor, of Philadel phia. They cost S9OO. Taylor is the only man here who can tuns the improved Irish pipes. It costs me $65 to get these pipes tuned. Taylor has made great improve ments in the pipes. He has increased their register and has provided a full supply of tones and semi-tones. Any kind of music can be played upon an instrument like this. The pipes in use at home are crude affairs, little suited to anything but jig music.” “Come now.” said the friend, wiien the twain were again in the open air. “We Will take this car and go up to Forty-sec ond street and see T. F. Kerrigan the other of the two great Irish pi/iers. it makes me sad to see how the pipers are dying out on the other side. The harp which was once the glory of Ireland h#s long boon practi cally banished from all quarters save the flag. And now the pipes are daily growing fewer. When I was a boy nearly every vil lage had its piper and the dance at the cross roads by moonlight was the delight of every lad and lassie’s heart. Then, and for centuries before, it was ex pected that the piper’s son would be a piper. All that is changed now. The boys are off for America. Only a few feeble old men are left, sole reminders of the devoted class who have piped to victory the Irish armies of the past, who in time of rebellion have been the trusty messengers on dangerous errands, and who in the days of peace and decadence have helped to lighten somewhat the heavy burdens of the Irish peasant. It seems almost incredible to me that bigotry and intolerance could ever be carried to the extent of considering tho folk songs of Ireland and the pipes Papisti ea! and detestable. Yet such was the fact. You ivill find Irish history after the English domination full of incidents relating to the punishment of pipers. Their pipes were broken and the pipers themselves unmerci fully beaten on that ground alone." A short walk from the car took the two to Kerrigan’s Pleasant Hour, where the piper ean lxi heard every night. “Bt. Patrick’s day was carrying all the hearers with it "ben the reporter entered, Tho piper sat upon a raised platform at the end of a long room, across which ran benches well filled W j *’? vers °f the music of Ireland.

Eleven years I have been here, Paving almost nightly for my friends. I nave heal'd from many places where I played when on my tour. In several of them, after my exhibition, fathers have secured pipes and set their sons to work to learn the in strument. The attempt has been a failure though, so that Egan and I are the only Pipers in the country.” ~ Y request, Mr. Kerrigan played “The ,“' U ‘P That Once Through Tara’s Halls.” effect was marvelous. The feet "Inch had just been attuned to a rollicking Jig were s lent. The hum of conversation i'cased. The mournful melody had acquired increased mournfulness from tho pipes. °f tho older heads were bowed, "hue adown more than one furrowed neck the furtive tear traced its glistening course.

Leaves a Home of Wealth to Become a Fortune Teller's Bride. From (he Philadelphia Record. A remarkable story of a strange fascina tion, the sudden disappearance of a society from her home, and the subsequent finding of the young lady wedded to a for *ll”* comes from West Philadelphia. Miss Josephine M. Mal “**• No. 419 North Thirty-third street, . J*® Wissed from the residence of her father, teorge Mallison, who is connected with the large man "factory of William Wood <fc yo., at Twenty-second and Bpring Harden treets and who has accumulated a “'■table fortune. The young lady ts ay years of age. and of very attrac- Jve ft i(l>oaranixiu No cause could be aasi -awd V the family for her absence, and she baf fl xl overy effort to locate her stopping place. Several days alter her disappearance the family received a postal card from the daughter with the startling announcement that she had married Prof. Janies, a trance medium and fortune-teller, residing at No. ‘JO I .* North Tenth street, and that die was happy and intended to live with her hus band. This remarkable news fell upon the family with about the same effect that the an nouncement of tho missing girl’s death would have had. More especially was the statement startling when it was rememliered that Miss Josephine was a particularly proud and sensitive girl of culture and re finement and the lwognized belle of a large and fashionable circle of acquaintance. It rvas also tacitly understood that she was engaged to be married to an estimable young man of excellent family, and had always conducted herself with a discretion bordering on exclusiveness. marriage refused by nine ministers. The grief-stricken father hastened to No. 201* North Tenth street, and there, to hisdis may, found his daughter. He elicited the story from her that she had read the pro lessor's advertisement, and in a spirit of fun had paid him a visit to consult him as to her future. A few days after she re turned to the professor, and” then, she said, she conceived a violent attachment for him. Her third visit to the professor’s office was her last of single blessedness. Three weeks ago yesterday, at an early hour in the day, the illy-matched couple took a carriage in the blinding rain-storm that prevailed all through that day, and were driven to Camden to have tho nuptial knot tied without formalities. Nine differ ent clergymen were visited liefore one could be found to marry the anomalous couple. At last the Rev. John Y. Dobbins, of No. 508 North Third street, agreed to make them one. The most remarkable feature of the case is that a young lady of tender nature and refinement could conceive a blind infatuation for a man of the appear ance of the professor. He is small in stature, and has scarcely any hair on his head. Ho has no zcJT v, mis mouth, and is unable to distinctly. This affliction lends a -aicer expression to his countenance, which is greatly distorted in his efforts to speak. He is aided in his profession by his mother and his father, who interpret his unintelligible conversation to his patrons, the father taking care of the male portion, and the mother looking after the female. The quartette have the second floor for their living rooms, offices and parlor, which are in strong contrast with the magnificent home Miss Mallison deserted in her infatua tion. These are the same apartments which the notorious Dean Miller and his coadju tors used for their so-called medical college a few years ago, and which was broken up by an exposure. THOUSANDS FOR THE GIRL’S RELEASE. The interview between the father and daughter was extremely affecting, great sorrow being expressed bv the parent at his offspring’s course. The daughter resolutely refused to leave her husband, and declared that she was satisfied with her quarters. Undue influence was charged upon the part of the fortune-teller. These efforts failing, the professor, or James Smith (that being his correct name), was offered a good round sum, said to be at least $lO,OOO, to release his new wife. To all entreaties and threats the pair re mained obdurate. Counselor A. S. L. Shields was consulted by the husband, who assured him that his Camden marriage was legal, and that tho wife could not be taken from him. AN ERRATIC YOUNG BANKER. Compromising His Love Affairs by the Payment of Thousands. Scranton, May 10.—About two months ago Franklin Howell, aged 24, Vice Presi dent of the Merchants’ and Mechanics’ Bank of this city, disappeared. After a tedious search, his friends found him at the house of David Thomas, a wealthy resident of Pittsburg and a distant relative of Howell. The latter’s friends informed the Thomas family that Howell’s mind had partially given way, caused by the use of opium, and requested the Thomases to take care of him as long as he wished to remain. Howell stayed in Pittsburg for about six weeks longer, and eventually became engaged to be married to a member of tho Thomas family, Miss Margaret, Thomas, who is about 20. A date, about the middle of April, was fixed for the mar riage and then Howell came back to Scran ton. On the day on which the wedding was to have taken place Howell did not appear in Pittsburg, nor was any word received from him explaining his absence. Miss Thomas’ brother tuid brother-in-law came to Scranton, where they found that Howell had again disappeared. ” They came on again last week and engaged State Senator L. A. Waters as their attorney in the case. It • was learned that Howell was visiting rela tives in Tonawanda, Pa. Miss Thomas’ brother and brother-in-law, accompanied by their attorney, went to Tonawanda, where they met Howell, who agreed to pay the young woman $50,000. He assigned to her 000 shares of stock in the Merchants’ and Mechanics’ Bank, together with numerous mortgages and checks. Then he gave a judgment note in $75,000 as collateral se curity'. Wheti Miss Thomas’ relatives presented the assignment at Howell’s bank the papers were dishonored, for the reason that the guardian of Howell’s sister bad directed the bank officials net to honor any checks signed by Howell. Howell is worth between $200,000 and SJOO.OOO. In June last Howell was to have been married to Miss Epliie Coslett, of this city. A few davs beforo the wedding he went to New York and remained there for several weeks. Miss Coslett sued him for breach of promise. He settled the case for $lO,OOO. He is now engaged to a young woman in Tonawanda. A commission is to be ap pointed to inquiro into his sanity. SHE WANTS A HUSBAND. A Hoboken Lady Wants a Life Partner With $250,000.
