VERDI THE COMPOSER

Verdi had distinguished himself chiefly In composing sweet arias. There had been no part writing. so essential in high musical art; little toue color and no effective or chestration. The composer had followed the old lines in making the orchestra fol- low the singers.
 In Don Carlos, written about 1S67 he took step in the direction of the new school, but 1t was not until he gave Aida that his progressive ideas came into anything like full flower. Here he brings the orchestra into prominence and writes his music to harmonize with the spirit of the text. In- stead of resisting the influence of the new school and having none of it, he freely enl- braced it and took his place with the re- formers. Henceforth with him libretto and orchestra were to have an equal place with the music sung by the artists on the stage.
 In Verdfs crowning work, Falstaff, the melodies are delightful but brief, and the recitatives are sparingly used, Reclamation taking their place. The orchestra lends it's own tone color and accent to illustrate and emphasize the text The part writing Is uncommonly strong; the score is never overdone, but Is masterful throughout. and there is fine artistic balance between the voices and the instrumentation. From such a description one might imagine that Fall staff was Wagnerian. Well, if 1t recalls Wagner it is only because it belongs en- tirely to the new school which Wagner de veloped. The flavor is distinctively Italian. It is distinctively Verdi's; and also is the working out of the themes. In striking out on these larger lines he simply proved to the world that he was an artist of broad and liberal mind and rare good sense.
 Trovatore, Traviata and Rigoletto VIII keep the stage and will touch and stir the average audience for a long time to come; to the end of tme perhaps. But persons of musical education will only care for Verdi as the man who gave them the three operas of his old age.
 Verdi did not compose many works for the church, but the few he did write are of a high order. His Requiem in commence ration of the poet ManZoni is a grand work. MT. Henry Finch tells the following interesting story of this work:
 'It will be remembered that Hans Yon Bulow once sneered at this Requiem as 'an opera in ecclesiastical costume;' but some years later the beauties of the work dawn ed on him, and he wrote an humble apology to Verdi himself, who was delighted Af- ter the death of Rossin in 1868, Verdi con- ceiVed the idea of honoring him by q mass, the various parts of which should be writ ten by the most eminent Italian composers in concert This was done; but the result was such tumble of styles that the idea of performing it had to be given up. Verdi himself had written the last movement of this syndicate mass-'Libera me- Some years later when his dear friend, the poet Manzoni died, Verdi used the 'Libera me as a nucleus for mass which was hrst performed in 1874 and has received the name of ManZoni Requiem
 Mascagni and other Italian composers are now filling the world with their fame, but it will be many day before Italy has another Verdi.

DANGER TO HEALTH
 IN PLAYING CARDS

Over and over again olergymen and oth- CTS have denounced card playing as pastime which is dangerous to morals, but not until now has any one maintained that card playing is also dangerous to health. This novel discovery was made recenly py A physician of Nantes. He noticed that most persons were in the habit Of molsteh- ing one or two of their fingers on their IDS for the purpose of dealing the cards more easily, and it at once occurred to him that germs of certain diseases might be thus transmitted from one player to another.
 He investigated the matter thoroughly, and as a result of his experiments, which have lasted for some months, he now an- nounces that diseases are frequently trans mitted in this way, and that the disease which is transmitted the most frequently, and against which, consequently the great est precautions should be taken, is con- sumption. Why the germ of consumption should attain to such special prominence at card tables is not explained, but the doc tor claims to have ample proof that 1t can be transmitted from one player to another more easily than any other germ.
 Commenting on this discovery, French writer remarks: Tn future fathers will not say to their sons when they see them gam bling, Unhappy boys, you are gong straight to ruin, to dishonor to suicide but they will rather say, Are you mad? Don't you know that you will catch con- sumption if you play cards?

BY WILLIAM RYAN.

With the death of Giuseppe Verdi at the age of nearly four score and ten, passed the last of the old school of Italian com- posers; or rather it should be said passed away one who in his earlier manhood rep- resented the old school, for in his later works, from Aida on, Verdi was mod ern of the moderns.
 The funeral, which took place in Milan on Wednesday, was marked by ceremonies of the simplest character, in accordance with the expressed wish of the composer. Verdi had been the musical idol of the Italian people for fifty years or more, and had been greatly loved, too, a man; and had it not been for the directions he left, the obseauies would have been equal to those attending the burial of prince. But the famous composer was ever noted for his quiet mode of living, and everything like display in his private surroundings was studiousy avoided. At my funeral there must be no music; the chanting of two priests, two candles and a crucitix will suffice," he said.
 There have been various estimates of Verdi's work, but all critics must agree that no composer has ever equalled him in popularity. Of all the tuneful operas writ ten Verdis have been the oftenest per formed and performed in more lands, cer- tainly in a greater number of towns, than those of any other composer.
 A great musician in the constructive sense, such Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Wagner were, Verdi was not. And yet he was a great composer, and deserves and will have, believe-high rank in his tory.
 Among the many interesting facts in Yer dis musical career the most remarkable seems to be the increase instead of diminu- tion of his intellectual power in his old age. Was there ever brain worker who gave evidence of such fecundity of mind in the late evening of life as Verdi?
 It was surprising indeed that he could write splendid classic like Aida at the age of sixty-one; marvellous that he could write a yet greater classic-Otelo-at the age of seventyfour, and still more marvellous that his master work Of all should have been accomplished at the age of eighty. His Falstaff, completed just as he had passed d-the~four-score mark, Is as fresh Luminous and virile as if 1t had been composed by master at the age of forty.
 Verdi wrote twenty-six operas. Oberti, Conte de San Bonifazio was his first, com- posed when he was twenty-two. It is {" light work and is seldom or never pre- sented now, even in Italy. A better achieve ment was seven years later, when he wrote Nabucodonozer. Between the age Of thirty and forty he wrote Ernani and one or two other operas that have enjoyed much pop ularity. But not until he wrote Il Trova- tore in his forty-first year was ms tame established. Then in quick succession came Rigoletto and Traviata. Up to tms tune

How the World Is Ruled.

From the New York Herald.
 There is only one woman ruler in the world. so if we are to take a comparison in this regard the superiority of man as a dominating influence must be conceded at the overwhelming ratio of seventy-hve to one. Queen Wilhelmina of Holland repre- sents the sex as it is sceptered. This Is the way the worlds power is represented: Twenty-two Presidents.
 Sixteen Kings.
 Eleven Dukes.
 Six Emperors.
 Five Princes.
 Five Sultans.
 Two Khans.
 Two Ameers
 One Queen.
 One Khedive.
 One Shah.
 One Bey.
 One Mkado.
 One Maharajah.
 One Rajah.
 Only two of these rulers have more than one title. King Edward is also Emperor of India, and William of Germany is both Emperor and King. Sidi Ali Pacha, Bey of Tunis, is the oldest ruler, having been born in 1877. He ante-dates Queen Victoria by two years. The youngest active ruler, ex- cluding the little Alfonso of Spain, is the girl Queen of Holland.
 A glance at the incomes of European rulers shows our Presidents salary in the light of very small potatoes" For the Russian Emperor's income Is $12,oOO 900. The Sultan of Turkey draws a ten million sal ary. The Austrian Emperor gets s, ,755, 900; the German Emperor, s, ,752, ,000; the King of Italy, $2,S5S0OO; Queen Victoria, $1920,- 900, and the Kings of Bavaria and Spain somewhat smaller sums.

TRAGIC DEATH
Came to Mother While Praying Be-
 meath Her Sons Picture.

From the New York World. q Two blessings Mrs. Bridger Casey prayed might be granted her-one that her life might be spared to see the new century the other that she should live, despite 80 years, until 1901. Death might then reunite her as soon as possible with her youngest son, who died years ago. Her tragic death last night foifnd both her wishes fulfilled.
 Nrs Casey lived with her son, Peter, a resilient of Killingsly a village near this city Her youngest son had been the idol of Mrs. Casey's heart. His death, years ago, 4had seemed only to strengthen the mothers lovo.
 His picture was hung in a corner of her bedroom, and here Mrs. Casey went nightly to pray as to a shrine.
 When the old woman retired last night for her evenings devotions her son sup posed she had gone to bed. As he passed the door of her room he observed the light still burning Thinking that she had for gotten to eXtinguish it, he entered the room.
 Mrs. Casey was lying in corner, blood flowing from a gash in her forehead. Across the body lay the picture of her son.
 AS Mrs Casey was gazing up at 1t In her silent communions the hangings had gwen way and the heavy frame had struck her and fractured her skull. The physicians say that death was instantaneous.
 Mr Casey said his mother had expressed her willingness yesterday that she might die and be reunited with her beloved son.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause, Generally
 Overlooked.

Headache is a symptom, an indication of Arrangement or disease in some organ, and the cause of the headache is difficult to To- cate because so many diseases have head ache as a prominet symptom; derangement of the stomach and liver, heart trouble, kid ney disease, lung trouble, eye strain or i'll fitting glasses all produce headaches and if we could always locate the organ which is at fault the cure of obstinate headaches would be much simpler matter.
 However, for that form of headache caIleu frontal headache, pain back of the eyes and in forehead, the cause Is now known to be catarrh of the head and throat; when the headache is located in back of head and neck it is often caused from catarrh of the stomach or liver.
 At any rate catarrh is the most common cause of such headaches and the cure of the catarrh causes prompt disappearance of the headaches.
 There is at present no trea atment for catarrh so convenient and effective as Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, a new internal remedy in tablet form, composed of antisep- tics like Eucalyptol, Guaiacol and Blood Root which act upon the blood and cause the elimination of the catarrhal poison from the system through the natural channels.
 Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent school teacher in one of our normal schools, speaks of her experience with catarrhal headaches and eulogiHes Stuarts Catarrh Tablets as a cure for them. She says: "I suffered daily from severe frontal headache and pain in and back of the eyes, at times so intensely as to incapacftate me in my daily duties. T had suffered from catarrh, more or less for years, but never thought 1t was the cause of my headaches but finally became con- vinced that such was the case because the headaches were always worse whenever I had a cold or fresh attack of catarrh ltr
 "Stuarts Catarrh Tablets were highly recommended to me as a safe and pleasant catarrh cure and after using a few fifty cent boxes which procured from my drug- glsts I was surprised and delighted to find that both the catarrh and headaches had gone for good"
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold by drug gists at fifty cents per package, under the guarantee of the proprietors that they con- tain absolutely no cocaine (found in so many catarrh cures) no opium (so common 'tn cheap cough cures) nor any harmful drug. They contain simply the wholesome antiseptics necessary to destroy and drive from the system the germs of catarrhal disease.
