Appointment of Quay as Senator Stirred Washington
The appointment of ex Senator Quay by Gov Stone stirs political Washington as senators doubt the move will restore power. The Pennsylvania constitution requires a special election within sixty days, making Quay’s return unlikely. Republican pressure, pending criminal cases, and party loyalties shape the uncertain path to a seat in the Senate.

Cost of Piano Playing in a Cardiff Jest
A Cardiff article by a writer signing as A Philistine argues music is a wasteful pursuit. He estimates 45 million Britons in 7,000,000 homes, about one in seven with a piano, totaling a million pianos at £20 each. That suggests £20,000,000 spent on pianos and £2,000,000 yearly for ten-year lifespans, far less than tobacco and alcohol expenditures.
