Verdi PrOvOked-.-to Laughter.

Verdi who is one of the most modest
and retiring of great men, went re-
Gently in strict incognito-as he
thought-to the Turin Exposition, and
made his way to the gallery in which
the musical instruments are exhibited.
An amateur who happened to be trying
q new organ recognized the visitor,
however, and Immediately began an
improvisation on theme from aida"
Verdi rose in n rage from the seat
which he had taken at the furthest end
of the gallery, and put on his hat, in
tending to beat II hasty retreat. But
it was too late: the news of his presence
had spread, every piano and harmonium
in the section struck up an air OF
Verdi's, no two playing the same one;
and even the piano-organs themselves
Joined in the discordant chorus. 10
get TO the door he had to run the
gauntlet of his own melodies; but the
comic element in the situation proving
too much for his gravity, he threw HIM
self into chair to have hearty laugh.
He was interrupted in the midst of it
by an attendant, who thrust into his
hand card, from glance at which
the as,onished composer learned that
his correct weight was just 14z
pounds. He had taken his scat in the
chair of u weighing machine. Think
ing he had had surprises enough for one
day, Verdi hastily left the building,
and he has not been seen there since.

Givin' the Driver u Steer.

A very small boy with his clothes in
tatters, occupied front corner seat in
one of the new Third avenue open
cars last night and gazed thoughtfully
straight down tho street. When the
car suddenly reached Ninth street the
boy suddenly walked up, glanced hur-
ried at tho street.lamp, and then,
touching the drivers arm, asked him
what street it was. The driver vouch-
safed no answer and drove maieslical-
ly on.
The boy iidgcted around and seemed
uneasy. A Times reporter, who sat
next to him, thought the little fellow
was anxious to get oil, but did not do
SO, not knowing where he was The
reporter who heard the question and
had seen how ii was received thought
he would do the boy u kindness, and
said to him:
"Where do you want to get of, my

wood contains no rosin; 1t is brittle
and breaks off squarely, so that in case
of fire the iiremen have no difficulty in
cutting their way from house to house,

AN EXCHANGE credits the San

Denis Kearney, with applying to
Blaine the title of "Plumed Knight.
Our contemporary is In error. II
was that eloquent pagan, Bob In.
gersoll, who gave to the Maine
statesman the title which will cling
to him till death, and thereafter
the mention Of Blaine's name will
recall the "white plumed. 1t was
in the Cincinnati convention OF
1915, in his nominating speech,
the most eloquent ever heard in a
Republican convention, that Inger.
soil used the expression as follows:
"Like an armed warrior, like a
plumed knight, James g. Blsine
marched down the halls Of the
American Congress, and threw his
shining lance full and fair against
the braZen forehead Of every assail.
ant of his country and maligner of
its honor. For the Republican party
to desert that gallsnt man is as
though an army should desert the ir
general upon the field of battle"
We believe that Kearney, on the
occasion of his pilgrimage to the
shrine Of Butler a few years ago, un-
dertock to apply the title to bluff old
Ben, but made an awful iss of 1t,
getting half dozen phrases which
he had stolen from others, mixed
and jumbled together in such a way
as to disgust even Butler himself.

interesting for these learned SEN
ators to berate each other, and show
that the communities in which
they live are no better than they
should be; indeed, it is interesting,
and the debate is full of entertain
ment. But what has it all got to
do with the Utah problem the
public would like to know. The
fact that a good many people In
Georgia range in color from q shade
above coal black to q shade below
white is conclusive to the student
of races that matters have been as
they should not have been in that
State; and the fact that the court
rec ords show that a very large per-
centage of Massachusetts, people
have been married from one
to three or four times, does not
look we'll from q religious,
moral or any other correct stands
point. And yet, what bearing can
these things have upon the question
presented here in Utah? If the
Mormon matter is to be discussed
on the grounds OF a social problem,
in the light Of its morality or lack of
morality, the debate might be con.
tinued In the channel where it is
at present. and the defeu-
ders of the Utah matter should make
the very worst showing Of facts pos
5ibIe as req ards other communities
In general and those communities
in particular whose representative
assail tie Mormons. In that case,
the result W you'd be the exposure Ct
all society and the demonstration
that all should be suppressed. AS
we understand the Mormon position
it is not that they ~efend themselves
by assaulting others. and showing
that the latter are worse than the
that kind of defense
would be none at all, but rather
confession Of guilt. The sins and
indiscretions of the GeorgIans can
not be pleaded as justification for
the immoralities of the New Eng
landers, and the vices of beth
these commonwealth can have no
influence for or against the position
assumed by the Morrnons, which is
either that of conscience or religion
or it is not. The Senators would
do Themselves credit If they were
to cease this business of pot calling
kettle black, and bring their abilities
to bear upon a legitimate discus
sion of the problem from constitu-
tional and religious standpoints.
