Mozart had a memory for music
and for nothing else. On attending
the papal mass at the Sistine chapel he
was greatly impressed with the musical
service and asked for a copy but was
told none could be given him, as the
music was not allowed to go out. He
went to the next service, listened at
tentively, went away and wrote down
the whole from memory. When Don
Giovanni was first performed there
was not time to copy part of the
harpsichord, so Mozart conducted the

ment to the songs and choruses with

lean manager farms out lecturer or a
singer to local manager it is invari-
ably with the stipulation that the price
of seats shall not be reduced below the
usual local rates for performers of like
grade. Managers are tenacious on this
point because they know that once a
mans rates are reduced it is almost i'm

standard. Some of the performers re-

rates. But no manager could long

June 2, 1909, Virginia was granted
her second charter. The new charter
transferred to the company the powers
which had before been reserved to the
king. The supreme council in England
was now to be chosen by the stock
holders themselves, and, in the exercise
of the powers of legislation and gov

arch. The governor in Virginia might
rale the colonists with uncontrolle |
authority, according to the tenor of
the instructions and laws established
by the council. or, in want of them.

in cases capital or criminal, not less

Thus the lives, liberty and fortune of
the colonists were placed at the arbi-
trary will of governor who was to be
appointed by commercial corporation.
