Another lynching fever seems to
have struck the South Instead of sol,
itary victims, they now take the I'M
lucky negroes out by the half dozens
and hang or shoot them-have regu-
lar bee at it, Then the governor is
sues a proclamation in which he offers
hundred dollars reward Tor the APP
prehension of the culprits and offsets
his mild condemnation Of the atrocities
by throwing most of the blame on the
negroes. or course no one is ever pun
lshed and it is only a few days before
the incident is forgotten in the face of
new horrors. If these things happened
in any other country near by. we
should certainly interfere in the name
Of humanity-and probably wind up
by annexing the contiguous territory.
Gen. Greene, for some time in COM
mand of the army at Manila, CALI
special attention TO the good health
that our troops enjoyed there. In
spite of the continuous rainfall and the
fact that for twenty-five days men were
obliged to wear wet clothing, the sick
list never exceeded three per cent and
few Of the cases were serious. He at
tributes this happy result largely to
precautions that were taken to keep
the men from drinking rum or any
thing but boiled water, and recurring
them to build bamboo cots so
that they could sleep above the
ground The difference between
the experiences of our men in the
Philippines and in Cuba or even in our
pest camps suggests that some things
were done at one place that were not
done at the others, and also that some
things were left undone-the latter. es-
pecially.

advertiser. As recall incidents OF
the game they seem to me now to have
peen dangerous. but that IN a mature
view, which never occurred to Us then.
our fayorlto place for the Fun was on

creek running through II. aud another
crossed a field nearby. Both Of these
were hard jumps. especially for some
OF the ponies. Hut there were several
good jumps. Ave or six over three or
tour board fences. two over hedges,
and fallen trees were innumerable.
The great advantage OF this place.
however. was a perfectly straight road
along the side OF the park. We meas
ured on a distance OF about 300 yards
down the road from the nearest bunch
OF woods. For this distance there was
no obstacle except on one side. fence

that they could ride any distance in

The name OF the author OF the libret-

the work itself has not been christeRed.
but II can be said that It is a romantic
opera OF gypsy life In the Carpathian
mountains. Paderewskl is guarding
the score as II 1t were sacred. and not
even his intlmates have seen much OF
IL.
Il Is definitely settled that Pader-
ewski will make another trip to the
United States this fall. He will be
there four months. and this time he
Is going not only to San Francisco. a
city OF which he Is particularly fond.
but to Portland and Tacoma. He likes
the American people immensely for
their quick enthusiasm and their gem
eral musical intelligence. and is ,n-
clined to resent the idea that II Is on
~ the mighty dollar that draws him
thither. He has many personal friends
In New York. Boston. Chicago. Bulfa-
10. Cleveland and San Francisco. and
Is looking forward to seeing them
again.
An indication OF his fondness for
Americans is the fact, not generally
known, that he has broken his own
rule and taken a pupil. young Phila-
delphian. Ernest Smelling. who has
been studying with him In switzer-
land this last summer. and Of whom
he has great hopes. The young man
is Coming out" in London this spring.
When Paderewsk reaches San Fran
cisco he is going stunning" again.
The last time he was there he spent
several nights as late as 4 or o'clock
In the morning exploring the inner
mysteries Of Chinatown and seeing
places that even the police had not
succeeded in penetrating. lie became
greatly interested in Chinese music and
carried away with him a complete set
Of Monaghan musical instruments. He
is going to make n further STUDY In
this direction. and II Ia safe TO say
that he will pu, the results to musical
uses.

the border OF Russia, and of Paderew-
skis own native Poland. II is n wild
place now, but the musician is going
to make OF II a garden OF delight. He
Ia putting his heart into the enterprise
because the farm Is intended primarily
for his hapless and helpless boy OF IL
years, who has never had the use OF
his arms or n,s legs. and has TO be car
ried about ike a child. His father
cares more for him than for anything
else In the world, and II was the pi-
anist's idea that the boy would be
amused and occupied by superintend-
Ing the work on the new farm.
And, furthermore. as soon as his
Galiclan home is finished Paderewsh
Is going TO give up his cottage on the
shores OF Lake Geneva. in Switzerland,
and will settle down in the new place
after his concert tours are over to
work toward the fulnllment OF his one
remaining ambition in life-the COM
position OF music that will not be for
gotten even when his fame as a plan
isl has passed into history.
His most important step In compo-
Jtlon has been his much-talked-of OPP
era, about which ! can give some In
teresting news. II was TO have been
brought out at Dresden the last week
,f December. The greatest interest In
n was shown among musicians all over
the world, for II was known that the
composer had taken great pride In IT,
and had put some Of his hardest work
INTO Il. II was to be his operate hrst
oorn, and paaerewski's friends,at least
expected that II would mark a new
ira in the history OF opera.
Well, the opera has been shelyee for
year. possibly longer although the
composer has finished II, all but the
Icoring OF the last act. The reason
tiyen Is that his concert arrangements
have not gwen him time to superin-
end the rehearsals, none Of which has
,een held, despite published statements
% the contrary Mr., Paderewskl now
Expects to begin work on It again next
September, and 10 have II on the stage
oy the time he leaves for America

Dresden, according to the original
plans,
