When exPrime Minister Crispi died
he was nearly 81 years old and for SIX
ty years he had been active in Italian
politics. After passing through numer-
GUS revolutions and conspracses he
died an old man AM in the quiet of a
retired life, having been deposed as
prime minister in 1885 He had his
romance early in life. He was the ed
tor of a Paterman newspaper in the
early 4O's, having contracted a mar
rage while yet in the university. His
wife and child died early in his youth.
He was Republican for twenty years;
but abandoned the party and therear-
ter was a believer in a strong govern
ment. He hated France with all the
virulence of a passionate nature. He
believed in the triple alliance with all
his heart. Crispi was almost as much
to United Italy as Bismarck was to the
German empire.

Persons interested in wild flowers
are endeavoring to create-and to or
ganize a sentiment for the protection
of our native plants, especially near
large cities. The pond-lily, trailing ar
butus, native orchids, fringed gentian
and many of the evergreens have been
gathered in Massachusetts for sale In
such quantities, and so steadily sought
by frequenters of suburban woods, that
their extinction is threatened. The
remedy suggested is that care be used
to cut rather than pull the flowers, 20

The securing of good cloud effects is

authority sas a clearing sky after an
afternoon downpour is probably the
best time to secure good sunset eff

and be full of moisture at such time, the
atmosphere clearer and the lightbreak

year best adapted for sunsets are either
in early spring or fall. A time exposure
is much the best, as a snap shot will

find out just what there is, then lit

On May II next Alfonso XIII. will
attain his majority, which in Spain is

tina, will surrender TO him the author
ity which she has exercised during his
boyhOod. Recent pictures of Alfonso
show a delicate, serious and intel gent
face. 1t suggests Il boy who has not
had his proper share Of outdoor pleas
ures, and upon whom the responsible
ties of life have fallen premaLurely.
The impression made by Alfonsos PIC
ture is confirmed by what is known of
his life. He is physically frail, and his
time has been spent mainly with his
mother and his tutors, although he has
had some military instruction. He is
now acquiring familiarity with public
affairs. He attends all the meetings of
the Cabinet, and he is moving about
among his future subjects more freely
than formerly. This acquaintance with
his people will be good for a boy who
has led secluded life, and it is to be
hoped that 1t will awaken among them
a personal loyalty which will help the
young king in the dangers before him.
Spain is disturbed by the conspiracies
of the Carlists; by the restlessness of
the Catalan provinces, which desire a
larger measure of elf-government; by
the agitatiOns of trades unions, social
lists and anarchists, and by clerical in
trigues and anti-clerical riots. Food is
high, taxes oppressive and wages low.
There is respect for the throne, but lit
tie real affection for it. The people
take only a fitful interest in public
questions, but they break out readily
in rioting when they are angry. There
is no well-led, wellknit party to sustain
the governments policy; no statesman
of commanding influence upon whom
Alfonso may lean. For boy of IS,
coming to the throne under such diff
cult circumstances, one could wish
more firmness about the mouth and a
little more fire in the eyes.

bIe to vote or hold office as enumerated under section 3. 1 would add those who violate the above provisions by paving pell tax for another. or contributing to fund for the purpose or who allow their. poll taxes to be so paid.
 There is a widespread feeling that an out-and-out poll tax provision is all the State needs, and that if it can be safeguarded and rendered efficient it will relieve the ballot of all corrupt practices as no other plan would do, while at the same time it would con fine the ballot to the intelligent and responsible in the State. It would save the sGate from an adverse public sen tfment elsewhere, and would solve in a plain manner the most difficult prob lem that the State has ever had to face. Judge Lapsley's efforts to sur round it with safeguards cannot be too highly commended Every man should be compelled to pay his own poll tax. This is the very essence of the plan.

Severely Classical.

'Talk about classic music. but the little town of Bethlehem, Penn, has just dis tinguished itself by having Bach fes- tival, which was many degrees higher in the way of classic song than anything ever attempted in Worcester Mass, or Cincinnati,' said a local musician.
 'In nearly all the great festivals in Flu rope and in the United States the severely classic is relieved by due proportion of light but good music on the programme. But at Bethlehem everything was Bach Bach's great mass, Bach's great Passion Music and twelve chorales by Bach And from all accounts the audiences that at tended the festival concerts listened with rapture.
 Tn a recent discussion by English musicians of the greatest compositions nearly all of them selected Bach's mass as the most scholarly and masterful of all. But how this magnificent work could have been popular at Bethelehem is diff flcult to understand. It is, I think. much too scientific and deep for a lay audience. It would certainly never take in church service. Theodore Thomas gave this mass at the Cincinnati festival in 1892 and 1t came very near putting the audience to sleep. It will always be used by musi- clans as Q study, but it will be long time at least before it will be in demand at festivals outside of Bethlehem. Cas- sic music is the only sort that is uplifting but there is such thing as overriding it"

LIVINGSTON ON SUFFRAGE.

New York. June 6-Congressman Liv- ingston of Georgia is quoted in a special from Washington to the Tribune as say ing that he does not believe in wholesale disfranchisement as remedy for the evils of negro suffrage. He said:
 'I think the people of Georgia are against any disfranchisement amend ments to our state constitution. We are getting along nicely with the negro in Georgia. The states which have adopted the amendments are Louisiana, Mississip- pi. North and South Carolina, and they may see the time when Congress may take the matter up with view to affect ing their representation in Congress If the membership of the representations of such states as Louisiana. Mississippi North and South Carolina is reduced 1t would bring turmoil and strife and re- open the issues of the civil war.
 q do not think 1t best for the southern states to adopt such constitutional amendments. The number of negroes in our state is not so large as it was for meriy. Very many, of them are moving away where agricultural conditions are better than they are in Georgia"

WOOL. COTTON sHoppY.

From the New York Evening Post
 The latest attempt to do something for American wool growers is the pro- posal to have Congress pass law for the inspection of woolen goods This is the happy thought of the National Live Stock Association. At it's recent meeting in Salt Lake City it ''resolved forcibly on this subject, and a special committee has now been appointed to se- cure the desired legislation. The idea is to have all goods (and, by fair infer ence. all clothes) plainly labeled as either wool, part cotton. part shoddy, etc. This will make the sheep laugh-it Is certain ly enough to make a horse laugh, It would be such a nice way of separating patriotic protectionists of wool from the disioyal crew who care only for the cot ton growers. But we ourselves do not think that the law goes far enough. Some men are so hardened that they would not sympathize with the American sheep, even if compelled to go about with their clothes plainly marked as part cotton The only policy of thorough" in this business Is to have a law compelling every American man and boy to buy three suits a year made wholly of American wool. We would supplement this by a special statute compelling the President of the United States on inauguration day, and at all public appearances thereafter, es- pecially at state dinners to wear on his back a large placard certifying. in the name of the National Live Stock Associa- tion. that his clothes were made of pure, home grown wool and ending, God bless the Dingley tariff.'

The principal expense is the salaries of the professional head coach and the expert boat builder. These two items alone cannot cost less than B. 300.
