this we should say roundly the whole
fortune of the piece depends. A good
libretto viii make amends for bad

amends for a bad libretto. If the liz
bretto is light the music need not neces-
sarily be himsy. Indeed. we can prom
fe the composer that he may indulge
his most recondite vein at times with

may write his very best and most VAL

him when he is inclined TO prose and
become tedious. 1t will keep him FROM

Devises q System of Fastenings TO Doors
In Men-of-War.


In Men-of-War.
The latest capacity in which the Ger
man emperor has chosen TO reveal him
self. says the New York Times, is that
of an inventor of a new system of fast
enings for watertight doors in men-of-
war. He turned up in the harbor of
Syracuse recently in the Hohenzollern.
and the officers Of the BI fish cruiser
Astroea, which Happened to be lying
there, were not little astonished SOON
after TO see him approaching their ves-
sci in a steam launch, attired in ths
panopoly of British admiral. He in
spected the Astroea infinitely and then
carried off the captain TO the Hohen7
zollern. After entertaining him royaI-
ly he took him down into the engine
room and there pointed out a water
tight door in one OF the bulkheads,
which. he said. he had invented HIMSELF
and expected to See initiated generally!
The door was of the kind known TECH
nically as a clipped door"-that Is, 1T
is secured when shut by means of short
lever catches which are called Clips"
In the English service as many as
dozen of these clips are often used to-
secure one door. The improvement
claimed by the emperor is that instead
of having to work the clips singly, thus
involving several operations. he can, by
an arrangement of levers, work them
simultaneously in one operation only
PROVIDED, the mechanism is not too com-
plicated aud likely TO get out of order.
the invention seems TO he one of consid-
cradle practical value, the manifest OBJ
lection being that # the lever happens
to be out Of order at critical moment

President of Illinois State Board of
Pharmacy Stabbed to Death.
Cairo, H., July 2s.-Dr. Isaac y. Coffee
was killed at an early hour Monday
morning by Green b. Crabtree. a rival
druggist of this city. DIR. Coffee, who
was president of the state board of
pharmacy, was on his way to the train,
in company with DIR. Joseph j. Gordon,
to attend a meeting of the state board
at Springfield. He was passing the
drug store of Crabtree at about
10: 80 o'clock, when he noticed the store
of the latter open, contrary to an
agreement of the druggists to close aG
$3.50 o'clock during the heated term.
Coffee remarked to Gordon, as he no.
ticed the open store: 81 wonder why
that store is open at this hour" APP
plying a vile epithet TO Crabtree. Crab
tree was sitting on the pavement in
front of his store, unnoticed by either
of the two men, and, as he sprung to-
ward Coffee, he remarked: "I'll allow
no man to call me that name" He
struck at Coffee, but the latter was too
quick for him, and grabbed him by the
face with his fist.
In the scuffle the two fell to the pave
ment, Coffee being on top. About this
time DR.. Gordon, who was powerless to
part the two men, succeeded in getting
assistance, and they were separated.
Each combatant went into hi7 store to
wash away the signs of the conflict, DIR.
Gordon accompanying Coffee. Just as
Coffee reached the doorway of his own
store he exclaimed: Il am stabbed"
DIR. Gordon told him that it would not
be very serious or il would have been
noticed before. but hardly had he got
the assurance out of his mouth when
Coffee fell heavily to the pavement, n
corpse.
An examination showed that Crabtree
stabbed his victim with dirk in five
places, one wound reaching the heart.
As soon as II was discovered that Coffee
was dead officers went for Crabtree.
The latter was very much overcome,
and made several fierce attempts to take
his own life. He is now in Jail. closely
guarded, to prevent his self-destruction.
