GEYER, Wagner's step-father, wanted to make
young Wagner painter; but the boy was very
awkward at drawing. He says: Il had learned
to play 'Ueb INNER Treu und Redlichkeit' and
the Jungfernkranz (Freischuetz), which was
then quite new. The day before his death
(Sept. 80, 1921 had to play these to Geyer in
an adjoining room, and heard him family say

ner secretly began to write grand tragedy. 1t

men died, and some of them had to return as
ghosts to keep the fifth act going.
SOUTH AMERICA is more than double the size
of the United States. The empire of Brazil
seems on the map quite as large as Australia.
1t is twenty-foCr times the size of England.
The Argentine Republic is nearly as large as
Europe, taking Russia out. Bolivia and Vene-
zuela are each twice the size of England New
Granada and Peru each as large as England
and Scotland Ecuador something less, Para
quay equal to Great Rritain, Uruguay and Chill
about the same, and the little-known regions of
Patagonia and Terra del Fuego at least double
the dimensions of Great Britain. British,
french and Dutch Guiana are nearly as large
as Great Britain.
IT has been industriously circulated that dur
ing his reign the late King Alfonso, of Spain,
accumulated the enormous sum of 200, O00. 900
reals ($25, O00, 000l There is not one word of
truth in this. The expenses of the royal house
hold, pensions, charities and more than once
the liquidation of the debts Of rel atives not
careful as himself, absorbed the major portion of
the appropriation which Alfonso received from
the state, and the sum which he has left, includ-
ing the amount of assurances upon his life in
various foreign Offices, can hardly in any sense
be termed fortune. Liberal, without being ex-
travagant, Alfonso endeavored to set something
aside for his children.

The machinery of justice seems ever adj
justed to roll violators of law away from con-
viction and punishment. The murderers Of
Captain Murphy, at New Orleans, year ago,
most atrocious assassination, have been duly
tried and convicted, and a sentence of hang
ing has been pronounced. These scoundrels
happened to be prominent in ward politics,
and Of course have many friends" These
have made every effort to save the accused,
and have taken advantage of every technical
ity to delay and thwart the ends of justice.
After the conviction an appeal was taken to
the Board Of Pardons. The board refused to
interfere. They then addressed themselves
to the Governor and he has granted respite
of thirty days. The intention Of these
men is to delay the execution, if pos
sible, until the assembling Of the
Legislature, when an attempt will be made to
have a law passed abolishing capital punish
ment All this because the murderers are
fellows who once trun things" in the city,
and who. because of their imagined 'impor
tance," thought they could kill Captain Muir
ply and escape responsibility. With no feel
ing against these ruffians, any more than
against any murderous villain, we would like
to see the law stand just as it is, and be
enforced against these men just the same as
though they were without influence. Unless
New Orleans is ready to say that any man
may commit deliberate assassination, these
men should be punished as the law prescribes.
They are no better than any other desperate,
and should not be spared.

THE Hoar presidential succession bill, as it
passed the Senate, provides that in case
of the removal, death, resignation or
inability of the President and Vice
president, the succession shall be in the
following order: Secretary Of State,
Secretary of the Treasury Secretary Of War,
Attorney general, Postmaster general, Secre-
tary of the Navy, Secretary of the Interior.
The one so coming to the vacancy shall act
as President until the disability Of the Presi-
dent or Vice-president is removed, or Presi-
dent shall be elected. 1t further provides
that if the vacancy and succession shall occur
when Congress is not in session, or if it would
not meet, in accordance with the law. within
thirty days. the acting President shall issue
proclamation converting Congress on twenty
days notice. The succession shall be as
above, but applying only to such officers as
shall have been confirmed by the Senate, and
they must be eligible to the presidency under
the Constitution, and shall not be eligible if
under impeachment by the House of Repre-
sentatiyeS

WHEN the prosecuting attorney decides to
take cognizance of the alleged attempts at
bribery in connection with Democratic
methods to secure the city attorneyship he
will not be at loss for forms by which the in
vestigation can be pursued. Perhaps waiting
for the grand jury to convene next month
will be less satisfactory to the public than
other methods. Prompt action and a thorough
ness Of search in reaching all the facts lie in
summoning every one who can possibly know
anything about the alleged transactions as
charged into open court for examination.

How Louisville Was Saved from an Attack

Washington Special.
Avery interesting war paragraph to the citi-
zens of Louisville Cincinnati and the adjacent
territory, appears in a report Of General Bragg
of his Kentucky campaign. This has just ap-
peared in tho proof Of a forthcoming volume Of
war records. 1t goes to show that it was Gen.
George W. Morgans evacuation of Cumberan
Gap that saved Louisville. and perhaps Cincin-

paragraph which General Morgan and his many
army friends will read with especial interest

tried for several days to induce General Buell. to
attack him in the vicinity of Cave City, but was
at length forced by his scarcity of rations to
move off toward his supply trains from Licking
ton, says: Orders were sent for supply train
from our depot at Lexington to meet us in
Bardstown, and the march was commenced for
the latter place. Instructions had been given
General Smith for simultaneous movement of
the column at Lexington to Shelbyville, that
combined operations might be Immediately
undertaken against Louisville. Orders had also
been given for close observation on the enemy
at Cumberland Cap and that he should be inter-
copied in any attempt to escape.
"On my arrival at Bardstown learned from
Major-general Smith. then at Lexington, that
the enemy was moving from Cumberland Gap,
endeavoring to escape by the valley of Sandy
river, IN eastern Kentucky, and that he had sent
his whole available force in pursuit. A sufi-
Gent force to prevent this escape and to hold the
enemy in check there and compel his surrender.

from another quarter to have followed General
Smiths movement in time for this purpose. Cir

position. and over which | could not exercise
control had prevented this consummation so

success. The delay necessarily resulting from
this pursuit of the enemy by General Smith pre-
vented junction of our forces and enabled

JUDGING from the number of statesmen in
She House who show disposition to intro
duce presidential succession bills of their own
connecting, it is probable that the Edmunds
bill just passed by the Senate will not go
through the other branch of Congress without
opposition. 1t is wise, modest, as well as
an exceedingly rare legislator who is not con-
vinced that he can improve upon any measure
originated by his associates.

M. MISSIONER rejoices for two reasons:
His son was not bitten by mad dog, nor by

painter wants to find how few friends he has,

No Democrat has yet been found bold
enough to deny that the Democratic legis-

they reached hotel, and her brother attempted
to kill her 'abductor." The man said he loved
her and wanted to marry her, but she said that
she never had any intention of marrying him,
