Charles Brenham in The Forlnightly Review writes an article on Empress daughter of Queen Victoria in which he dwefls on the great love. which existed between her and her father, the. Prince Consort. He tells of one of the earliest ietters of the father to his daughter after she had married Frederic N..Iam of Prussia. A letter which laid bare the tragedy of both their lives. Both were life-iong victims of popular prejudice; the father as n German in England, the daughter as an English woman in Ger

TRENCH EDITORS
 AND WOMEN


 ts the tinted States about a month ago and visited the Pan-American Exposi- tion. When in New York they were entertained at luncheon at club by MT. MT, of these French editors it is gathered that there is a great difference in the degree of importance they ana the we of the United States place on the aepor.- POT, Among other things M. Juoen or The
 we have 1.20O,OOo subscribers, but we would have fewer patrons if in the case of an attack on one of our prominent men we would devote four columns to describing the fortitude of the mans wife; how hraVeiy she received the news and how heroically she bore herself"
 'sThe manner in which the New fork papers handled the story. of the attack on the President was loudly praised by the French newspaper men. who agreed that the only improvement that could be suggested would be less news"
 From this conversation as reported in The New York Times we learn that the French club men congratu'ated them. .ns female members of their families. The report continues. The conversation was all in French. and M. Gounouhhou, noo- two men and two women sat 1t luncheon, said: we appear to be attracting the attention of the women nemhers The rainark was clearly made to bring the subject of women members" under q dis ci,ssion, for the strangers were probably at a loss as to who the women members were. Mir. Daniels explained that the women were the wives. daughters CT friends of members who have the prfvt- legs to go to the club for their luncheon.
 "Thank the Lord" said M. Jubin. "our clubs have not yet been invadeu by wo- men. That Is one place into which no woman has yet ventured in Paris, except in one instance. The Great Republic Club admitted women, and naturally 1t failed. Our clubs are for men, and they differ from yours in so Tar that while you you clubs live on 1t. Baccarat and poker are played In all the large clubs, and with profit to the organization"
 Another American institution which we think great-the watermeion-is unknown te these benighted newspaper men or France. At this luncheon, according to The Times, the conversation turned t. States, and as none of the visitors had ever tasted watermelon, Mir. Daniels or- dered q portion just to look at" It was a quarter of a large melon, and this was divided into five parts and distribu:ed among the visitors. Each man nlbbled at his melon in half hearted way aud politely pushed it away They looked in- credulous when their host told them s. that for three months every year hc ate daily twice as much melon as he had divided among them.
 Previous to the luncheon the visitors had seen the Grand Central Station under the guidance of Mir. Daniels. and had been initiated into the workings of the institution. They had heard of the inn proved luncheon stations all along the line of the New York Central. they had seen Mir. Dainels'R pets, the new dining cars, and had heard all about the record breaking runs across the, State, but the fact that man could eat 1S0 slices of watermelon, such as had been divided among thefn in three months and live, gave them the most food for reflection.

DEATH OF COMPOSER VERDI.


|
Yesterdays Session Of italian Senate De.
voted to Eulogies.
Milan, Jan. 26--Guiseppe Verdi died at
$3.50 O'Clock this morning.
verdi's career has been unique in the his
tory Of music. He had lived through sew
era distinct operate epochs, and had play
ed an important part In each Of them. His
first opera, Oberto,' was brought out IN
1880 In Milan, within ten years after the
production of Rossinis William Tell in
Paris, and only three years after Meyer
beers Les Huguenots" had set the French
capital agog. His last opera, "Falstatr,"
was produced in 1898, eleven years after
/ the German composers career.
| Rome, Jan. 27,-To-day's session Of tue
Italian Senate was devoted TO eulogies Of
| Verdi by the president Of the Senate and
Signor Saracco, the premier.
"The death of Verdi said the premier,
has caused universal sorrow In Italy, a
lowllest cottage in the capital and from
Rome to the humblest hamlet In the coun-
try. The government joins in these senti-
ments"
SIgnor saracco announced that marble
bust Of the composer would be placed in
the Senate chamber and that an official
delegation would be sent to attend the fu-
neral, adding that unless Verdi's will di-
rected otherwise the funeral would be at
the expense Of the state.

struggle for life that lasted two days,
Yerdi's death when 1t came was peaceful.
He did not regain consciousness. When he
passed away he was surrounded by iela-
lives and intimate friends.
The announcement Of his death created
great emotion. Theaters, pleasure resorts
and many stores were closed and nearly all
the prominent residences were draped.
To-day the city authorities published a
euloglstic proclamation which was posted
throughout Milan.
King Victor Emmanuel sent to the family
q telegram Of coincidence on behalf Of him
self and Queen Helena, saying:
I'VE join In the homage, regrets and adj
mlratlon offered by Italy and the civilized
world to the immortal memory of Verdi.
The nation and the glorious art of our
country have suffered a loss so serious that
It is beyond repair"
In his will Verdi asks that the funeral
may be Every modest" He suggests that
1t take place either at daybreak or even
tide and that the ceremony be without
music. 1.-THE chanting Of two priests, two
candles and cross will suffice" he wrote.
Many legacies were left to friends. The
date Of the funeral has not been fixed, but
1t will probably be Wednesday or Thursday
and the interment will be in the chapel Of
the retreat for INDECENT musicians which
Verdi established.
