8TORY OF BLIND TOM
Millions Were Entertained by Musical
Marvel in Years Gone By.
Many, nf the older residents of Camden
will no doubt recall Blind Tom.
the negro piano player, who appeared
in the old Camden opera house In the
ixxo's. and this sketch from the Philadelphia
Kquiivr will prove of interest:
"Blind Tom was a negro musical
prodigy, born on a plantation near

parents lived as the slaves of (Ionera!
Thomas (1. Betbune, for whom
be was named He was born blind,
with a weak mental development, but
hud a marvelous imitative quality. In
early childhood he Imitated the cries
of farm animals, the call of the birds
and the sound of the wind and the
rain At night he would steal into the
house of his master and imitate ou
the piano pieces he had heard others
play during the day.
"His ability to reproduce so accurately
on the piauo musical compositions
he had board others play led
to IBs stage appearances, and he was
exhibited in various cities throughout
the United States and in London]
between the years lStil and 1X73. During
his public appearances he often
played one melody with his right hand
and another with his left, singing or
whistling a third, as frequently the
classic compositions of Bach. Chopin
and Mendelssohn as "Yankee Hoodie."
"Sailor's Hornpipe" or otlor pieces
of thid class.
It is said that his repertoire contained
more than " .000 selections, including
-some ot l.iszi s most ctilTu ult
transcriptions He also imitated the
sound? of other musical instruments
and delivered addresses in foreign
languages without understanding a
word of it
"He reappeared on the stage in
1004. but being difficult to manage,
was soon withdrawn. He made his
last appearance at the Circle Theatre.

SYNTHETIC SCIENCE WONDERS
Almost Anything Can Be Made Now
Out of Almost Anything Else.
Scientific research, whereby new
and useful materials are produced
from substances hitherto of little or
no value goes on apace, in spite of the
depression.
One of the most noteworthy accomplishments
of chemistry is seen in the
long list of products now made from
ordinary coal tar. It is the basic ingredient
of aspirin, of which 3.700,000
pounds were produced in a single
year. It Is also used in the synthetic
production of many other medicines,
dyes flavoring extracts, perfume^ and
molded plastic materials.
The odor of practically every flower
may be simulated by artificial means.
Thus a combination of citral and acetone
gives the fragrance of violets;
oil of citronella Is treated to produce
llly-of-the-valley; the odor of lilacs is
derived from turpentine, and so on.
Cellulose, derived from cornstalks,
peanut hulls, straw, wood, or sugarcane
refuse known as bagasse, is
further treated to produce rayon and
cellophane. it is also used in the
manulacture of sythetlc resins for
lacquers and plastic materials, and
even for the generation of gas.

Battle Of Adua
Holds Bitter Memory
Home--Adua in a, name that loups
to every Italian mind during these
days of tension between Italy and
Abyssinia.
For It wan at Adua that the ItaliaiiH
suffered the moat tragic episode
of their colonial history.
There, on a plateau 7,500 feet high,
120,000 Ethiopian*) in 1876 overwhelmed
an Italian army of 18,000, kllliuK
and wounding M/>00 itallana, taking
3.000 prlaouera, together with 66 caunona,
anna and inunltiona, Generals
Daboriulda and Arimondl died In the
fighting- -
1'hat battle haa ulwuya remained In
the consciousness of both natlona and
haa done not a little to hinder the
development of good relatione between
them. On the Italian side
there hue constantly been the resolve
one day to wipe out that defeat. On
the Abyaalnlan aide there has always
been the feeling that at* some time
the Italians would march agaiust them
again.
The llattle of Adua made a great Impression
on Mussolini, then a lad of
13. In the book he wrote last yeur
to (he memory of his late brother,
Arnaldo, 11 Duce recalls that the
names of Galliano and Tosllli, heroes
ol the Adua battle, were a part of his
youthful memories.
He cites the chants he sang with his
comrades, such as "O Menelek, bullets
are of lead, not chocolate," and
"O lialtissera (one of the Italian
commanders), don't place your trust
in the bluck race!"
Although the Battle of Adua was a
terrible defeat, the Italians have reason
to be proud of the conduct of
their Boldiers in the conflict. Against
odds of nearly 7 to 1 the Italian troops
preferred to die rather than surrender.
The Abyssiuians were posted in
vantage points In surrounding mountains
overlooking the plateau on
which the Italian army was entrenched
and they had a firing advantage
over the Italians.
Since Adua much water has flowed
beneath the bridge between Italy and
her coionies. She now has behind
her 40 years of colonial experience.
She has the confidence aroused by
the conquest of Libya in a campaign
over an enormous territory, characterized
by one success after another. And
she also has a number of proven colonial
leaders and generals.
She has reason to believe that, if
she embarks on the venture against
Abyssinia, she will erase the memory
of Adua.
DO YOU KNOW THAT
Iif spite of tills zipper age the average
man buttons and unbuttons more
than 3,f>00,000 buttons in an ordinary

From five to seven p. m. have been

deer sir: ?
plese take notls that the Jule Clark,
who yore investigating committee
found had signed a tellygram to his i
uennator ask1ug him to kill the uf 11llty
bill, Is not a forgery, and hp ain't
dead as reported, hut he had a verry
bad apel last summer and was give
up 3 times.
he do not remember about eeudiug
anny tellygram, but he wants you to
know that his name is Jule Clark, like
they had It printed, he does noLknow
what the holding company Is trylug
to hold, so you mought inform him
by letter what It Is they don't want
to turn uloose.
Jule Clark 1b not In favvor of all
copper rations, but as he hus a cuzzln
working on u big power dam In georgy
lie wants to pull for them, and it is
ok by him for his name to be used,
the Clark that the committee thought
wuh dead is a distant uncle of his
which got bit by a mad dog and ketched
the hydry-phoby from It and passed
on.
thiB corry spondent, who is rltlng
this letter for his brother, jule Clark,
thinks that the power trust should
be allowed to keep everthlng they
have in the way of footholts, and allso
be given higher rates if they want
same, as they give away a right smart
of tnonney to charity, and they brighten
up all corners while doing so.
Jule has newer had anny connections
with a holding companny; he
says he entertains a great deal of
companny at his house, but he Is always
willing to let them go, and he
do not hold them back, most of them
is his wife's klnfolks, and he ain't on
anny better terms with them than the
power trust is with the dimmercratic
add-ministration ansoforth.
if the power trust is offering anny
money for tellygrams, or lias benn
ketched paying others for wires to
congressineiis and sennators, plese
tell them to send jule 10c for his
dispatch, as he has not received nothing
for the use of his name up to
now. jule can use a right smart of
monney at this riling, as the holding
i umpaniiY which holds a mortgage on
his ford will possibly re-possess same
next week.
