Stories of COmposers.

Very remarkable are the conditions un.
der which musical composers have some.
times turned out their work. Rossini was
renowned for his laziness, yet when the
mood was on him, or when pressure was
brought to bear upon him, he could write
against time. 1.-THE Barber of Seville"
was composed in month.
There is another story of the same com.
poser in which one hardly knows whether
to consider him particularly lazy or par
ticularly industrious. He was in tho habit
of writing in bed, and on one occasion,
while thus engaged, a trio that he had al
most finished dropped from his hand and
slipped under the bed.
The sheet was too far away for him to
reach it, and to get up and reach under
the bed for it was out of the question
There was only one other thing to be done,
and Rossini did it. He wrote another trio.
Rossini's characteristics were so well
known that sometimes strong measures
were taken to secure a composition. The
overture to LA Gazza Ladra" was procur-
ed in peculiar manner. On the day of the
first performance the manager got hold of
Rossini and confined him in tho upper
loft of La Scala under guard of four scene
shutters, who took the text as it was writ.
ten, sheet by Sheet and threw it out of
the window to copyists waiting below.
There are other composers who can
rival Rossini in the pace at which they
throw off their work, but who have never
been accused of especial laziness. Sir Ar
thur Sullivan is an unusually quick wri-
ter. He began the overture to "Iolanthe"
at O'Clock one evening, and had it fin
ished by the next morning The mag
nificent epilogue to the Golden Legend"
was composed and scored within "a hours

AN CLIO TIME MAY DAY.
How the Festival Was Celebrated Ivy
Grown penple In ENGLAND.

Once during the foggy, dark wcathcr
did old London, usually dirty and III smell.
ing blossom like rose. To the forest,
with all its fresh leaves unfolding and its
sweet airs blowing, went the young work
ingmon and women of the city-for 1t was
not the childron's May day yet, but fcs-
tival for older people-to gather spring
flowers.
How glad they were to get abroad ain

Elizabeth and King james, They went
to tho great forests near by, Hainault for.
est Epping forest and that great body of
woods through which Waiting street ran
you know, Waiting street even traverscd
the Sherwood forest of Robin Hood and
his merry men-and they brought home
the wild rose and "the white May" for so
they called the blossuIning hawthorn, and
many IA bouquet and branch of goodly
green or delicate spring buds and flowers.
There were two or three principal streets
that they deckcd, singing all the while,
until these looked like fresh bowers, and
they made arches of greenery and bios
SONS over doors and gatcways on May eve,
and hung little colored lamps among them
until the children must have thought the
scene like fairyland. To the knobs of the
doors they also hung lunches and baskets
of flowers, and friends and lovers brought
each other "a branch of May" Nc sweet
er greeting could there be, surely, after
the long, cold, dark months of fog and
winter within doors
Then, the next day, what dances around
the tall May pole, with it's fluttcring rib
bons; whac revels with plcntcous tables
full of meats and drinks; what fair pag

legorical characters that the English used
SO to delight in!
But in the course of time the Puritan
temper became dominant in England, and
the old sports and revels were tiercely put
away. Grown men and women ceased
their mumming and masking as unworthy
of grave minds, and even this sweet May
festival only survived in the new world
across the seas as the sport and pageant of
children.
Strangely enough, New England kept
one part of its celebration and the south
another. In New England, on the eve be-
fore the LIST of May, the merry children
hang their May baskets at the doors and
| hide near by to see them taken in, while
In Virginia and the southern states they
celebrate the morning of May day by
what is really an Elizabethan pageant
the browning of the queen of May. Some
little girl is elected queen and is crowned
by another child as bishop. There is "A
procession of children, some of them rep
resenting the scepter bearer, the ladies Of
honor and spring herself, all bearing flow
ers and reciting poetical speeches in char
acter
1t was just in this way that the digni-
fled lord mayor and other high officials
used to entertain Queen Elizabeth herself
when she went to visit the various towns
in her kingdom, and she sometimes got
very weary of the long speeches or poems,
but all the people enjoyed the merrymak-
ing and masking or playing in character
immensely, as much as the children dc

Unity's New Pastor

DR.. Wendte was betrayed into intem-
perate criticism Of Governor Budd and
his relations to the asylums and re-
formatory institutions of the state in u
public address last Sunday night, and he
now declares that his home life has
been made miserable and his house held
in a state Of siege ever since by the
daily papers, whose ambitious reporters
have camped on his trail. The good
doctor is sorry that he spoke. In this
respect he is like Police Commissioner

DR.. Wendte, and intimates that the
minister were better engaged in minis
tering to the spiritual needs Of his flock,
rather than in making baseless attacks
upon the chief executive. DR.. Wendte

wanted by the Fresno authorities for
burglary were arrested at / o'clock this
morning and spent the rest Of the small
hours in Jail. The prisoners are known
by the name Of kid" Gibson and Hor-
ton. They both appear to be about 10

had looted residence at Fresno.
Last night a Fresno man, who re-
fused to give his name was walking

DISGRACEFUL ACT
A Teamster Maliciously Smashes Into
a Chinaman's Wagon

An unjustifiable and disgraceful as
sault was committed shortly after noon
yesterday on a Chinese vegetable ped
dler named All Clip, on Seventh street
near the river. The Celestial was stand
ing in the road with his wagon, talking
to another Chinaman, when a man in q
heavy wagon came along. He motioned
to the Cinnamon to get out of his way,
and All Clip started to drive up, but ap-
parently not soon enough to please the
man in the wagon, who became angry
and, applying the lash, ran his wagon
into that Of the Chinaman. The heavy
vehicle upset the lighter one, smashing
1t badly. Ah Clip was thrown out on his
head and seriously bruised. His team
ran away. Without stopping to see
what injury he had done the man drove
away at a gallop.
Detective Auble investigated the case
and said that there was no excuse for the
collision and that 1t had been purposely
brought about by the fellow who es-
capped. This was shown by the tracks of
his wagon, which had gone out of it's
natural course to run into the China
mans lighter vehicle. The name Of the
malicious teamster could not be learned.

which had been closed down for two

AS upwards of 95 per cent Of the prod

ducers' trustees, and oil is 81 per barrel,
the opinion is expressed that another
shutdown is not among the possibili-
ties in the near future.
To mainain the stability Of the market
a heavy surplus is needed which will
meet all trade requirements. To pro-
vide for this a separate corporation to
provide storage facilities has been
formed within the oil producers.
OF the $4,000 required for this plan
$15, 900 had been subscribed yesterday.
This concern will supply 100000 gallon
iron tankage, from which export ship
ments and local supplies will be drawn
when required.
