Composer II Some Of the Worlds finest
Operas Passes to the Great Beyond.
Rome. Jan. 2S.-A special dispatch
to the Patria says that Verdi, the com .
poser, is dead. lie was born in 1918
near Parma, at the foot OF the Aper.
mines. At II he was the organist Of
Roncole, his native village. lie first
married the daughter OF the conductor
OF the theater Of La Scala. For SO
years ne has made the villa Of St. Ago.
tina, near Busseto. his favorite resi-.
dence. After the death OF . his Arst
wife he married Nine. Strepponi, who
played in the first performance of his
"Nabucco," at Milan, over 55 years
ago. Verdi's father was the keeper Of
an inn, q fact which would seem to
prove the theory OF some men Of
science that all human beings are born
equal in possibility. What Verdi has
done for mankind cannot be measured.
"Ernani," Rigoletto." III Trova.
tore" LA Trsvaits." "Aida"-these
names tell the story of what joy and
peace and pleasure the genius Of the
Italian of humble origin has brought
to his kind. His compositions have
been very numerous. AS early rs l347
he wrote the "NIasnadieri. 1t was
composed for Jenny Lind. and was
sung at Her Majesty theater in Lon.
don with the great soprano in the prin-
cipal part. "Trovatore" is his most
popular opera. "Aida" is his greatest
work. but opinions vary on this point.
as they vary about the greatest Of
Shakespeare's plays. Signor Verdi did
other things than write music. He
was member of the Italian parlia.
ment, and served his country in the
capacity of minister Of public instruc.
ton. France gave him the legion OF
honor, Russia gave him the order Of
st. Stanislaus, Italy the order of the
crown, and Egypt the order Of Osman-
ieh. Australia presented him with
cross of commandership OF the order
of Franz Joseph. Of late years Verdi
wrote works that are lmost as we'll
known as his earlier efforts. They are
"Othello" and "Falstaff. The lat.
ter was written when the author was
IS years of age.
