Contest for Verdi's Hat

The other day the Marquis Di Rudini
arriving in Genoa from Monza, where he
had been to confer with the king before
the latter went to Germany, descended
from the train, having twenty minutes
to wait. He was met by the city au-
thorities and the station master, with
whom he spoke pleasantly, when all Of
sudden, from an incoming train
Guiseppi Verdi stepped down. The sta
ton master seeing him, asked permis-
sion to retire of Rudini, who, having
given it, looked in the direction in which
he was going and himself recognized the
great musician. Calling the station
master back, he asked. him to presen t
him to Verdi, which he consented will
ingly to do. While asking permission
to make the introduction he was follow
ed by the premier, who, bare-headed,
hat in hand, advanced with the greatest
difference. The Marquis Di Rudini ex-
pressed his pleasure at meeting the
purest and most vivid glory of living
Italians.
Never, as today" he added. "have I
felt so happy in representing all Italy
l congratulate you on your fine health,
and wish you innumerable long years OF
life'
The maestro is as straight and sturdy
as an oak, and his strength is remark
able for one Of his years. This graceful
incident was followed shortly after by a
laughable little scene, which reminds
one of the two guests at dinner, one of
whom saw his companion putting sill
yer spoon in his pocket, which he decided
to gain possession of himself. He began
to boast of his cleverness at sleight OF
hand, and. in being invited to exhibit his
skill, rose. took a spoon, put it in his
pocket, and, with flourish, said:
please examine the pocket Of the
gentleman opposite"
After taking leave of the premier,
Verdi went to the station buffet, where,
on returning to the train, he forgot his
hat. A lady and gentleman who had
been watching the maestro all the time
jumped for the hat, but unfortunately

ing the brim, whereu upon ensued strug-
gle of see-saw, the lady emerging tri-
umphant exclaimirg: "Ah! now have
got. and now l intend to keep it,"
At this moment a gentleman who had
assisted at the conflict, with apparent
growing stupefaction, stepped forward
saying: But this is my hat" A loud
laugh rang out from those present, in
which the recent combatants could not
help joining. But leave their rage and
chagrin to be imagined when, few mo-
ments later. they discovered the trar
into which they had fallen. 1t was the
hat of the great composer.-Pall Nal

PAID A VISIT TO HONOLULU
AFTER THE WAR.
He Forcibly Collected Indemnity in
the South Seas for Outrages Inflict-
ed by Natives on Americans.

Admiral Meade, famous in the
American Navy as Fighting Dick
Meade" died in a private hospital at
Washington, d. c., on May 4, after an
illness of three weeks duration. Onlv
the older residents of the islands re-
member the visit of the famous naval
officer to Honolulu, few years after
the war. He was at that time in his
prime, and at the height of his glory.
That visit was in the old cruiser Nam
agansett, on cruise that lasted 431
days, during which time over 10000
miles were travelled.
Admiral Meade was not retired from
active service until May 20, 1895. He
saw forty-five years of continuous
service in the Navy. lie spent eight
cen years actually at sea, and was in
command for twelve years of this
period. Admiral Meade was an active
and valiant officer, and did much
valuable service 1or his country. He
had to be sure. somewhat arbitrary
style about him at times. but no one
complained of that arbitrariness
when. for instance, in 1872, he forci-
bly, collected indemnity in the Polyne-
sian islands for outrages inflicted by
the natives on American citizens.
During the war Meade served with
great bravery. He was commissioned
a Lieutenant in 1861, and after seeing
much active service on the Lower
Mississippi, was commissioned Com
mander of the ironclad Louisville, in
the fall of 1862. During the next
year he was invalided home. assumed
the duties of Inspector of Ordnance
for the ports of New York and Boston,
commanded the steamer United
States, commanded the Naval Batta-
lion in New York during the July
riots, and was appointed to the com
mand of the gunboat Marblehead.
From that time until the close of
the war Admiral Meade served with
such distinction as to earn the nick
name of Fighting Dick Meade"

y dozen passengers on King street
car yesterday afternoon Witnessed
with bated breath, the narrow escape
of two of j. b. Castles pretty children.
They had just stepped from the car,
in company with their mother, and
were walking to the sidewalk, when
two English marines came dashing
along on their wheels. One of them
was headed straight for the eldest
child, girl of five, and his front
wheel had just touched her skirts,
when, with great presence of mind,
the sailor threw himself to the
ground, clinging to his wheel. The
child was barely knocked over, but
the sailors face was badly damaged.
The second marine had, in the mean
time, gone through exactly the same
performance, just missing the young
er child. The passengers all thought
the children would be killed. They
must have been, but for the great
presence of mind and nerve of the
sailors.

A native lad of seven or thereabouts,
arrested yesterday afternoon for tru-
ancy, excited the pity of the officers
at the police station. When asked
why he did not go to school. he re-
piled that he had no clothes" His
statement was borne out by his gen
eral appearance. His limbs were COW
cred, partially, by pair of trousers
that had long ago lost their original
color, and were so patched as to leave
doubt in one mind if any of the or
iginal cloth was left Even then there
were some very airy crevasses in
them. The shirt that covered the
boys back was almost as bad. In or
der to keep it on him the mother had
sewed it up until he could not get it
off again. The boy said that the
teacher would not let him remain in
school because his clothing was insult
ficient to cover his nakedness.
This morning, when Judge De la
Vergne heard the boys story, he re-
fused to pass sentence. Instead, he di-
rected that the boy be given bath
and new suit of clothing, the Judge
agreeing to pay for the clothing. This
is not the first time since his occupy
ing the bench that Judge De la
Vergne has played the Good Samari-
tan.
