A funny thing. says the Kennebec
(Me) Journal happened in the amuse-
mekt hall at the insane hospital the other
evening during tie entertainment given
by the Cony Ministries. One of the solo
lists had just sung q song, to which he
received a generous encore. In respond
ing, he stepped to the front of the stage
and said: II will now sing you that beau
tiful song entitled, The Lost Sheep on
the Mountain. The prelude was played
ana the singer had just strengthened up
and inflated his lungs, as If to begin.
when one of the female patients in the
audience jumped 90 her feet and shouted,

ahead of we that time, didn't i? And she

singer was going to say had she given

GIUSEPPE VERDI.

Verdi is dead. Early yesterday morn
ing he passed away az Milan, at the ripe

Verdi was the most noted composer of

greatest names in music of the past GEN.
fury.
Few OF those now living can remember
when Verdi first sprung into fame, for,
unlike most great composers. his operas
were received with immediate favor
Even now, when we listen to a perform
ance OF I'll Trovatore" or La Traviata"
We cannot help realizing what furore
those works must have caused when first
produced before audiences OF music-mad
Italians in the gorgeous palaces of the
Italian lyric stage, and sung by the idols
of diva-wOrshipping public
1t is safe 20 say that no other operas
have ever approached the two mentioned
above in lasting popularity. or have been
more frequently performed all over the
world.
Verdi composed many other operas and
other works which attained almost equal
popularity, among them "Rlgoletto."
"Ernani," and Aida" While musical
criticism regards his operas, and especial
ly the earlier and most popular ones, as
comparatively light and superficial, yet
Verdi possessed the power to move the
heart and stir the pulse of his audience
to a degree UNSURPASSED by any other
composer OF any school or country.
The whole world will pay willing trib-
ute TO his memory.

the whole pack of dogs. 1.-THE hunters
were trying to get near enough to the

it seized one of the dogs by the jaw. Col.
Roosevelt showed the breach of his gun
into the lions mouth, holding the gun
by one hand and with the other striking
the lion a death blow with his knife" If

Gov. Toole Of Montana is not a prison
reformer, in the common acceptance Of
the term. He says he dissents radically
from the sentimental notion that states
prisons should be made comfortable and
homelike, and denies that the object Of
the institutions is accomplished when
their inmates are contented. The Mon
tana penitentiary, he asserts. is alto
gether too comfortable and too satisfac-
tory to the criminals who are imprisoned
there. Many of them live better than
they ever lived before in their lives, hence
they have no objection to abiding within
the walls permanently.

SEWING AS A nEFoRM AGENT

Why do men stay out late at nights.
and smoke too much, and sometimes take
nips that ought to be left untaken? 1t
is because they do not know how to
sew, and crochet, and knit. That is
what Mrs. Lille Devereux Blake says;
and since she is a reformer and MRS"
it must be that she is conversant with
her subject. Having studied the trouser-
ed biped at close range, she thinks she
knows what he needs to make him good
mo greater wrong has been done to
man" she says. ethan not teaching him
how to sew. He has nothing to do in
the evening. That is why he smokes
too much. Now, IL he had only been
taught embroidery, think of the differ
ence." What a simple recipe for keeping
men employed and happy, and out of the
way Of temptation!
But Mrs. Blake~probably never thought
Of the fact that the habiliments of men
are i'll suited to the demands of needle
work. They couldn't well pin a bit of
muslin to one trousers leg while they
were hemstitching it; and every time the
scissors or the thimble slipped it would
go clear through to the floor. Every
man has noticed the dizziness with which
a woman catches the spool or the scis-
sors in her lap whenever it slips that is
a thing which no man could ever do, no
matter If he were provided with a big
sewing apron. An old trick of detectives
10
of the opposite sex is to toss something
toward their laps The men quickly snap
their knees together, even when dressed
in skirts, while the women do just the
opposite, even when clad in trousers
This is merely an illustration of the diff
fering involuntary movements of the two
sexes, and is one indication showing
which was intended by nature to be the
sewing sex. 1t is beyond man to make
his lap a sewing basket and at the same
time catch-all Why, he'd be per-
petually running to the surgeon to have
needles and pins pulled out that had in
advertently been TANNED into his legs
when he was trying to catch falling
spool.
Embroidering is a gentle, refined and
beautiful art, 1t is true; but we cannot
bring ourselves to the belief that its joys
are such as to win and hold men away
from the beer and cigars. There doubt
less are men-exceptions to the rule-who
know how to embroider and crochet ami
knit there can be little doubt that these
were among Mr.. Lille Devereux Blake's
accomplishments. Yet authority showing
that such men live longer and happier
than their brothers who smoke their
evenings away is wanting.

An observant correspondent has noticed
from the press gallery of the Senate that
a number OF Senators send pages out to
buy the afternoon papers as soon as they
are printed. When the papers are
brought in the Senators Immediately turn
to the page on which is printed the quo
tations OF stocks. This is studied intent
Iy for several minutes, and then the
statesmen turn over to the news columns.
OF course 1t is merely disinterested Gu
riosity which induce the Senators TO first
study the stock quotations.

The Republican machine in Pennsylva-
MIA is getting tired of having the "Ol9
Man" Quay criticised by the newspapers
so ii is trying to force through the Leg
islature bill to amend the libel law In
such manner as to muzzle the press. One
OF the very ridiculous provisions OF the
pending bill is that a printed copy of the
matter alleged 10 be libelous must be
served on the person affected before pup-
lication in order that the newspaper may
plead privilege and justification in It's ae-
tense. II the legislators are intelligent
men they must know that. nine times out
of ten, libel suits are brought against
newspapers on matter not suspected bv
the publishers of being llbelous at all.
No reputable newspaper, indeed, will print
matter that it knows to be a libel. and
every honest newspaper is Always willing
to make reparation for an error which II
may have made. The fact in Pennsyl
vania no doubt Is that the corrupt poli
ticians have determined to shut thS
mouths OF the newspapers with respect to
them IL they can, and hence wish to re-
vert TO the old rule of >"the greater the
truth the greater the libel"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican says:
1.-THE peerless story comes over the ocean
that Lord Salisbury and the King are on
such poor terms that the Premier may re-
tire from office. The days are long since
past in Britain when personal dislike by
a monarch for a leading statesman pre-
vented the latter from running the gov
eminent when his party was in power
The late Queen disiiked Mr.. Gladstone,
but she was obliged to summon him TO
assume power when the liberals had O
majority. King Edward, the Smiling
prince could probably get along with
any one
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
kansas is a state in which woman suf-
fTage is permitted, to a certain extent.
II, as the advocates of that policy claim,
the extension of the suffrage to women
puts them on an equality with men, tho
fight between Mrs. Nation and a number
OF other women at Enterprise, Kan, might
be considered a logical sequence Of II ,
since that IS the way men voters are
rather too prone to settle their differences
II is not probable. however, that this
conclusion from the premises will be al
lowed TO stand unchalenged."
II is a matter of surprise that the Hart

The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) criticises
Mr.. Bryan severely for having chosen
THE Commoner" as the name for his
paper, and for having asserted in his
salutatory article that its purpose would
be to defend the rights Of the common
people" against the "plutocrats." The
Ledger says: There are common people
in the world. All people Of coarse. vul-
gar. dishonest. sordid thinking and living
are common people. They do not. how
ever. constitute class. They are to be
found among the rich and the poor, and.
proportionately, common people who are
rich are not less numerous than common
people who are poor The phrase, com
mon people, is false and pernicious one.
When Mr.. Lincoln spoke Of the
great preponderatirg body Of his country
men. he did not cell them common peo
pie but the plain people There is
much difference between the two words.
Common carries discredit with IL; plain
suggests no dishonor no lack OF worth"
The Ledger goes on TO assert that there
are no classes in this country, and no
class distinction under the law.

The United States system Of yellow

anu the fever plague will end" This, In
Driei, was the conclusion the congress
reached.
\ Taking up experiments made some
time ago by the United States yellow fe.
yer commission, the assemblage of doc.
tors representing several countries de.
clded that the mosquito is responsible
FOR epidemics Of this malady These
experiments were conducted upon ter
men OF different nationality, who were
listed as non-inmunes.

Speaking of the yellow fever question
he said:
"The congress practically agreed thai
yellow fever quarantine is not only use
less. but that 1t is an absurdity. The
only way the disease can be kept from
spreading Is by exterminating the culeS
fasciata branch Of the mosquito family
AS that seems to be an impOssibility
there appears to be no solution Of this
perplexing problem"

The Denver News comments as fol-
lows ON the movement to have the old
government palace Mt Santa Fe turned
over to the Smithsonian institution:
"A bill has been introduced In the
New Mexican Legislature ceding to the
national government Santa Fe's his
toric old palace" on condition that it
be made an archaeological branch Of
the Smithsonian institution. This
would insure the preservation Of the
ancient building, an object much to be
desired. 1t is the Oldest structure of
Its kind within the borders Of the
historic memories closely allied with
the annals OF the trans Missouri west.
Faneuil hall at Boston and Independ-
ence hall Mt Philadelphia are modern
structures compared to 1t.
THE palace ut Santa Fe is the old
government building and residence OF
the Spanish vicerOys. 1t was con-
structed In 15!S-lOng before the land
Ing Of the pilgrims or the settlement

ditions were planned, conspiracies

Oned and executed. From its doors
Onate went forth in 1899 on his expe-
dftion to the eastern plains. In one of
Its rooms PenalOsa, in 1864, shut up
the commissary general of the inuuisi-
ton. Within this palace the Spanish
made their last stand against the Pu-
eblO Indian rebellion of 1850. On its
plaza the victorious Pueblo chiefs
burned the Spanish archives and
church ornaments. At its doors twelve
years later DE Vargas gave thanks for
his recapture of the city from the In
dians. To this palace, on March 3.
1907. was brought Lieutenant Zebulon
Pike, who had been captured in the
San Luis valley for intruding upon
Spanish dOminiOns. When General
kearney captured the city in 1916 the
palace became his headquarters, and
from its roof he addressed the people
of the city and informed them that
New Mexico was annexed to the
United States. 1t was the official res
idence Of all the governors of the ter
ritory. and In one of its rooms Gen
eral Lew Wallace wrote Ben Hur.'
"Such are a few of the more prOmi-
nent of the historical events with
which the old building is associated.
The palace is now BOB years old and
with its antique Moorish architecture
is in itself a relic worthy of preserva-
tion."
