THE WIFE OF MASCAGNI.
Story of the Origin of the Famous Opera,
"Cavalleria Rusticana"

"Cavalleria Rusticana
All the world now knows the story of
"Cavalleria Rusticana "-how it was
submitted to a musical friend, who
promptly pronounced it ''rubbish;" how
Mascagni despondently entered 1t in the
competition for the prize of 2, 600 francs
$4,000 offered by the musical publishers
of Milan; how he accepted the prize as
a windfall beyond the widest hopes of
a man who, with wife and two children,
was existing on 2 3 francs day, writes
Olive May Eager in an interesting
sketch of the wife of the famous Italian
composer in The Ladies Home Journal.
The subsequent furore in Rome was
revelation, and in answer to telegram
he hurried to the capital IN his usual
negligee-in fact, his only dress-the
clumsy handiwork of a village tailor.
Apparently simple, countrified young
fellow, he appeared on the stage before
that immense and enthusiastic audi
enee, which cheered him all the more
that he was awkward, bewildered, even
stupefied, at the reception. The transi-
ton was too great and he felt his brain
reel. Sympathizing, admiring faces
crowded about him, but something of
his everyday life, something more rest
full he must have, and that speedily.
Rushing home after the performance he
telegraphed for his wife, and also dis
patched an incoherent letter imploring
her to pick up the children and come to
his aid without delay.
She came at once-a plain, quiet
body, who, during those tedious years
of seclusion and hardship, had deterior
ated in appearance and had lost the
worldly veneering of her younger days,
but nevertheless true hearted helpmeet
for an agitated, fame stricken man.
That night she sat in private box, lis
tening to the wonderful strains and still
more wonderful enthusiasm, weeping
tears of joy throughout the performance
and clapping wildly with the rest upon
the appearance of the new genius

posed change In the game laws, to license
all hunters in the state. In his letter he
says:
Where is the justice of requiring a large
taxpayer, or for that matter a small one,
to pay $25 for permission to shoot a little
game on his or his neighbours lands when
he visits his North Dakota possessions,
while the resident non-taxpayer is asked
only SIS for the privilege of shooting it on
the residents or nOn-resident's property :?
Where, TOO, is the justice in requiring the
resident taxpayer to pay the same price
for shooting game on his own lands as the
resident ~non-taxpayer must pay for shoot
ing on the property of others? Where, in
brief, is the justice of any law discriminate
ing toward some, and u%nfavOrably against
others of the burden-bearers in mainte-
nance OF a commonwealth? The very
statement OF these propositions affords
complete answer against the Justice of
them, and suggests also the thought that
such provisions in a game law ought to be
declared unconstitutional. s
l am aware of the necessity for some
change in the rules respecting the killing
of game in North Dakota, and [ cannot see
either a good moral or legal objection to
the imposition of a fee upon nonresident
n~on-property holders for the privilege of
enjoying the sport, but the men who have
purchased properties there and spent
money in the development and improve
ment of them, and are every year employ
ing help to nan them and paying taxes for

HERE AND THERE.

1 do not wish to appear i%rreverent or
dlsrespectful to the powers that be.
Neither do I wish to discourage the
national administration by speaking
harshly of their work. I have always
made it a point to do the very best I
can for the administration. Whenever
it is in trouble, and calls upon me for
advice, 1 render it oheerfully, and at a
price considerably below the market re-
ports for good, fresh advice of a standard
quality. In fact, I shudder to think
what might befall the government il, to.
gether with two or three other moulders
OF public opinion whom I might name
if l had more time, I should give up my
pew and make it a point to direct severe
criticism at the heads of government.
But notwithstanding my intense loyalty,
l receive occasionally suggestions from
literary friends, which, while they seem
harsh and severe, are possessed of 80
much real merit that I cannot refrain
from publishing them. Yesterday I re-
ceived one of these literary bon mots
from a former protege of mine, who,
since the democratic national admins
tration came in, has had hydrophobia,
spinal meningitis, scarlet fever, cholera,
sheep-echb, heaves, CHAMBERS, Russian
thistle, emaciation of income, contrac-
ton of the bill of fare, and several other
approved administration diseases. This
explanation is necessary in order to ap-
preclate the f~ullness of spirit and en-
thusiasm, which is to be noticed in his
communication. 1t is as follows:

trict court and continues the litigation for
years.
Can you give one single reason why the
supreme court is not as competent to pass
on questions of law and fact in an equity
case as the district court, and why should
it not do SO and give final Judgment on the
merits and end the litigation at once? If
so. you can give a reason why the law in
question should be repealed. Of course, in
jury cases, litigants are, under the consti-
tuition, entitled to the decision of a jury on
questions of fact, but to this class Of cases
the law has no application. 1t only applies
to those in which neither party is entitled
to a jury in the lower court, and if any rea-
son exists why the supreme court is incom-
petent to give a final decision of this case,
or why it cannot decide the whole case on
the merits, in accordance with justice, and
thus make an end of litigation, let it be
known. Yours very truly,

II 4RA z
Hon. Seth Newman, author of the
Newman act of 1898, regulating appeals
from the district court, where trial is by
the court, writes as follows:
to meet any case, but to improve the prac-
tice on appeal n restore the practice
which has existed in England and this
country in equity cases, for several hun
dred years, and is the practice in the
supreme court of the United States and all
federal courts Of chancery in this country
and England today. The practice of hav-
ing appellate tribunals exercise their
powers in the interest and furtherance of
justice. instead of merely sitting to deter
mine and announce whether or not the
court which tried the case has made an
erroneous ruling on questions of law, or
rather, has made any mistakes with no
power when it finds a mistake to correct it,
and give final judgment on the merits and
thus end the litigation once for all, but
only with power to send the case back for
a new trial and another appeal, and so
continue the farce until the lower court
Shall have ceased to make any mistakes,
both in purse and patience. The old prac-
tice in this state was a farce in this re-
spect.
1t would not seem to need any argument
to show that a practice which must absO-
lutely end litigation within a year after it
is commenced with a final judementon the
merits, given by a court with ample leisure
to fully consider every question Of law and
fact, composed Of three Judges of ripe ex-
perience instead of one. and entirely re-
moved from all local influences and preju-
dices, would be vastly superior to a prac-

QUEER HATREDs
James L. Could Not Look
at Steel Nor Peter
the Great at Rum
ming Water.

Great, indeed, must have been
the annoyance which james /. suf-
fered on account of his inability to
get over the weakness of being un-
able TO lookssn II naked sword. So
great an XYersion had he to cold
steel tina rSir Kenelm Digby re-
lates that when he was knighted
at Hichinbrooke, near Huntington,
the King, in order to avoid seeing
the sword, turned his face away,
and nearly wounded him. Pen
nant, the eminent traveller and eX.
pl0rer, had u great aversion to wigs
which unfortunately was always
transferred 10 the wearer of the of.
Tending headgear for the time be-
ing. Once, in the presence Of the
Mayor of Chester, who was wear
ing high-powdered wig, Pennant
was observed tn grow quite eXcit-
ed and nervous. After making
some strong remarks about the
Mayor to II companion, he appear
ed to have lost all control over his
feelings, and rushing at the unfOr-
tunate Mayor, pulled off his wig,
and ran with it out of the house
and down the street, pursued by
that civic functionary, TO thegreat
delight Of the populace. From this
curious race sprang the local ex
preston, "The Mayor and Mr.. Pen
nant's tour through Chester."
Peter the Great, though he wrote
a treatise upon things naval, and
laid the foundation of Russian
navy, could not, lis said, bear the
sight or sound of running water.
This antipathy was so strong that
he could not walk in the palace
garden because they We're watered
by the River Mosera, while he
would not ford over the smallest
brook, nor ever cross over a b idge
unless the windows of his carriage
were closed, and even then he suf.
fered from cold prespiration. Flow
ers and fruit, it would seem, have
affected some people in remarkable
ways. Thus, it is reported of Ula-
deslaus, King of Poland, that ht
could not bear to see apples, while
Chesne, Secretary to Francis l..
always bled at the nose on seeing
this fruit. Greby, the composer
and Anne of Austria, could no,
stand the sight of roses,and Amatus
Lusitanius mentions the case of {
monk who always tainted wher
he set eyes on a rose, and nevel
quit his cell when these flowers
were blooming.

AMRRICAN GOODS ABROAD.

The protection journals do not
seem able to agree on the way to
treat Consul Meeker's report that
american manufacturers are sell
ing the products Of their looms in
England. One Of them declares
that the trade was begun under
the Mckinley tariff, and that it
never would have been possible
without 1t, AZ the only way to make
goods cheap il by protecting manu-
facturers SO effectually that for
eigners cannot compete with us.
Then, having the home field to our
selves, our factories will cheaper
their products till, finally, they can
capture the markets abroad. But
ruin IL imminent unless the tariff
be restored. The Boston CONNER.
cial Bulletin, another Republican
organ, pooh-hoohs the whole mat
ter, declaring that Mr.. Meeker
MADE MS report on the trial snip
ment oftwo cases Of cheap cheviots,
Our foreign trade has fallen off i'm
mensely, It insists. Still another
journal. the American UNool and
Cotton Reporter, frankly acknowl-
edges that II has investigated Mr..
Meeker's story and found II to be
true. It does not believe, however,
that this trade with England will
ever amount to much. The Re
porter IL protection in sentiment
too, but Is disposed to be c0ntented
with the present tariff. One can
take his choice of these explana'
tIons. The ordinary man Is apt te
conclude that our wooden manu-
fActurers are able to get along
without any tariff since they have
