Until the first public performance OF
the "Cayalleria Rusticana." the world
knew nothing of Pietro Mascagni. From
that moment his rise was comet-like.
Mascagni, now only 81 years old, was
born at Lverno. Like many other world
famous musicians. he was the son OF
humble. working parents. who met
his musical ambition with bitter opposi-
Old. Mascagni composed an operetta. II es-
capped the ordinary fate of first compost
tions. and met with considerable success
His next ventures were an AVE Maria"
and "Paternoster." which won for him
the first prize at the Milan Exhibition.
A year later Mascagni composed a can
tata, "Alla Gioja," which attracted wide
spread attention. Then his uncle and pa
iron died. ard financial difficulties threat
ened TO end his musical career. But just
as the young composer was about to
abandon his ambitions and return to
work, successful production OF one OF
him from bread-baklng brought him in
handsome sum, and won for him the
friendship OF Count F1orenstano lie Lar
darei.
To the Count the "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" was subsequently dedicated His
new patron sent Mascagni TO the Milan
Conservatory. which he left to conduct
the fortunes of a travelling opera com
pany.
In 1886 Mascagni settled at Cerignola.
Italy. and began work on the opera de-
stfned TO be famous. The lfbretto. writ
ten By Giovanni Targeoni-Tezzetti and
Guido Menasci. was clever. throwing into
venerable plot a virflity not frequently
found in Italian librettos. The completed
work was entered In the competition In
stituted by Sonzogno at Milan as "Caval-
leria Rusticana. One-Act Musical
Melodrama-"
II languished untouched for eight
months, receiving the first public hearing
May II, 1880. Its success was Immediate
and I'm a day Mascagni became famous.

No Vote Yet ON the Settlement
Question.

COLUMBUS. O.. September 9.-The
miners convention remained In active
session until late this evening. adjourning
until tomorrow morning without having
taken vote on the proposed settlement.
The arguments that have been present
ed by the officials and members Of the
Executive Board In favor OF a settlement
have had great weight with the delegates
who have como 10 the convention uDlu-
sfructed, and even some Of those who
came with instructions have gone so far
as 70 communicate with their constitu-
ents. asking 10 be relieved OF the instruc~
tions, that they may be free to vote as
they deem best. Should this drift or
sentiment continue. the prospects for a
settlement Will undoubtedly be good.
The Committee on Resolutions n
about equally divided on the question OF
settlement. and will probably present
two reports to the convention to-mouox.
An effort will he made by the ofi1cers
to bring tbs convention TO close To-
morrow. provided the prospects OF IA
vorable vote on the proposition TOR SET
Element are ripe.

SENT ON REJOICING.
TANGIBLE SYMPATHY FOR MRS.
MILLER OF COLORADO.
The Railroads, Councilman Mulvey
and Others Provided Her With
the Necessary Transportation and
Money.

OF course. The people of this city
would not see anyone suffer, once they
know that anyone is in distress. Mrs
L. B. Miller, the little woman who
appealed in vain for aid to the county
commissioners for aid in reaching
Cripple Creek, is now on her way to
her home, happy. with money in her
pocket.
One of the reporters for this paper
laid her case before the agents of the
Western and the Denver & Rio Grande
yesterday. The result was that tickets
were obtained. which viii take her as
far as Florence, within 10 miles of her
home. Then some of the generous
people OF the city were appealSl TO for
enough to get her from that point
home and at the same time have some
thing for the babies on the way. The
mayor Clipped in SO from the conIin-
gent fund; Herman Bamberger gen
erously came TO front with 81 more;
Judge Powers added his mite and sew
eTal others. making a total of s12.
This was presumed to be enough to
carry her TO her friends, but it was not
all. Later in the day the following let
ter came TO this office:
The Editor of The Herald. City:
Dear Sir-I enclose you SO and will
ask you TO have the reporter who
wrote the enclosed article to deliver
Ii to Mrs. L. 3. Miller to assist her in
getting to Cripple Creek.
NJ. z. MULVEY.
That SO was delivered TO Mrs. Mil
Ter in the room which she occupied in
the Albany hotel. She was very CRATE
full 10 all who have assisted her, and
wished The Herald to say to them that
she especially thanks them for their
generous assistance. II knew that help
would come from somewhere" she
said, and that myself and children
would not be permitted to suffer Now
can get home all right, and will have
something to keep me until maybe
can get place where l can work for
mine and the childrens board until
my husband can get something to do
He is a good man, but we have had
such a hard time, owing to his being
unable to get q job. Tell them all
may never be able to TO anything for
them, but if ever 1 get chance to aid
someone else who is in trouble, l will
do so cheerfully, and to the best of
my ability

Western last evening for her home.

The preliminary hearing Of Jesse
+. Mcmillan and Charles NJ. Phelps
the self-confessed murderers OF
John Egan. was set for yesterday
morning before Justice Margetts, and
the prisoners were brought in from the
county jail. Both pleaded not guilty
OF murder in the first degree, waived
examination and were held for trial
without bonds.
Van Colt and Putnam filed a new COM
plant, containing two counts. sworn
to by Police Sergeant Matt Rhodes.
The first count charges that on July
II, 1897, Jesse f. NcAIllen and Charles
N. Phelps did commit the crime Of
murder in the first degree by admin
istering to John Egan, with intent to
kill him. deadly quantity of morphine,
knowing the same TO foe deadly poison
and from which the said Egan died.
The second count also charges the
two defendants with murder in the
first degree 0y administering TO Egan
a deadly quantity Of morphine, which
rendered the said Egan unconscious
ana insensiloie, and enabled McMillen
and Phelps TO steal from him 81 in
money and a gold watch of the value
Of sle0. and from the effects of the
morphine so administered Egan Ian
guished and died.
Both prisoners, after the reading of
the charges, pleaded not guilty, and
waving examination. were held for
trial in the district court without bonds.
Neither of them was represented by
counsel, but McAIinen asked Justice
Margetts to appoint an attorney to de-
fend him while PbRlps in the manner
and language of a tough, declared he
didn't want no attorney" The Justice
Will probably appoint some one in
few days TO look after McMillen's in
terests, and in the meantime both men
were taken back to the county Jail.
