VERDI STORIES.
Amusing Anecdotes OF tho Famous
Italian Composer.

Italian Composer.
Shortly after the first production
of Aida the late composer Verdi,
received a letter from an unknown
hand in which the writer said that he
had gone frcm Reggie to Parma to
hear the now famous opera. He was
disappointed with the work, but,
thinking that perhaps he had been I'M
able to appreciate it the first time,
went again a few days later After
the second hearing he was still disap-
pointed and added: Il came to the
conclusion that Aida is an opera In
which there is absolutely no merit.
When it has been heard two or three
times more it will be relegated to the
dust of the composers archives. Now
my dear Sig Verdi, imagine my regret
at having spen t32 lire ($610). Add
to that the fact that | depend upon my
family for support. and that the none,
hus lost haunts me like a specer and
troubles my rest. For these reasons !
write you frankly, asking you to send
me that amount to idemnify me for my
loss. In the account of 80 lire was an
item for two detestable suppers taken
at the railway station The letter
was signed "Bertani, via San Domeni-
co 5"
Verdi sat down at once on receipt
of the letter and wrote to Riccordi.
his musical agent, as follows: Send
the man the sum of q lire (S5.2D.
This is not the sum he asks for, but
pay for his suppers | will not, He
could have eaten at home. Don't for
get that he must promise not to come
20 hear any more of my new operas,
in order to save me any further travel
ing expenses" Bertani sent back
receipt on which he wrote declara-
ton never TO so 10 hear Verdi's new
operas again Verdi was a rough
diamond, and despised all forms OF
artery and protense. Those who
Hent to see him or who were intro
diced to him were warned not to talk
about music. He was most generous,
and many an Italian family owes its
salvation to the old mans kindness
Of heart.
Verdi seems to have been an i'm
polite person on occasion and to have
taken little thought of his fame out
SIDE the limits of his beloved Italy.
One of the most famous of the Parf
sian critics made special journey to
Milan to see the premiere of Othello
and report the performance for his
paper, but was met by the old com
poser with the statement that it would
be absolutely impossible to furnish
him place. There was mo room for
journalists and all the correspond
egts had been so informed. Greatly
mortified and rather angry. the critic
expostUlated. This is much to be re-

these conditions cannot telegraph my

panse, assured Verdi that this would

NARROW ESCAPE OF A DRIVER
THIS MORNING.

Mr.. Jim Ross. one OF the drivers for
the Paduoah Brewery Co., narrowly
missed being run over by the N, G.
and st. L early s,Igsr tTaii this
morning.
He was crossing the railroad track
a. a pretty good rate Of speed, and ap-
parently did not notice the oloseness
Of the fast approaching train. The
engineer repeatedly sounded the
whistle, and Immediately shut OF the
steam and applied the brakes The
train was stopped in time 10 prevent q
collision, but for the presence Of: mind
OF the engineer, = serious accident
would have been caused. Ross later
on explained that he heard the train
approaching, but could not stop In
time, and had 20 take chances Of beat
ing the train over.

THE SUN MOVING.

The Sun has. moved into its new
quarters, the old News stand, IFS
South Third street. The annoyauoes
incidental to the removal are very
great and for several days we will be
handicapped in the issuing Of the
paper We ask that our friends kindly
bear with us for just a few days. As
soon as we get everything arranged
properly we will be enabled to give
them a better paper than ever.

the matter of salaries alone viii go
to ten or twelve thousand dollars
annually, Il moi more, what will
the next tax levy have to be to
meet these increases?
It is a fact that no provision has
been made in municipal appropri-
ntions Tor the increases just made,
and contemplated for the next six
months, and worse still, when Pa
ducah goes into the second class,
it has not been determined how
the city is to get money to run It
from Jcue until January. The
tax levy OF second class cities is
made in January. and it Pdlucah
goes into the second class, no levy
can be made next June. It must
either be made the coming jan
uary, or the succeeding January, a
year hence. As Paducah is not in
the secoud class yet, and probahl,
will not be in time to make a levy
the approaching January, it is a
serious question how We are to get
money to run cur government
until the first levy is made under
the new charter.
The Sun is in favor Of paying
good salaries, but the Democrats
allowed the salaries, especially of
police officers, to remain uR-
changed for four years, and then
selected the worst possible time,
from a financial standpoint, to in
crease them.

The Goebel organs have been
trying to create d sensation over
the alleged fact that County Judge
Moore, at Frankfort was invited
by Jailer Lawrence to dine with
him, and when he arrived found
Caleb Powers and James Howard,
Mrs. Howard and the latter's
aunt, at the table. The impress
sion sought to be made on the
reader is that Caleb Powers, Jim
Howard and the others were not
fit to dine with County Judge
Moore, that the jailer voluntar-
lily offered him an afront in in
viting him, and that the prisoners
were enjoying liberties which,
from the standpoint Of the perse-
cutting Goebelites, they were not
entitled to. The jailer has a lew
things himself to say on the sub
ject. He has issued the following;
II did invite Caleb Powers and
James Howard to take dinner at
my house, also Mrs. Howard and
her aunt. Judge Moore was not
an invited guest. but came in dur
ing the meal. He was invited to
take dinner and accepted the invi-
tation then and there. Whether
il be in keeping with his dignity
and official position to accept ones
hospitality and then abuse it, /
will let his constituency and the
county be the judge. am an
swerable alone to the people for
my conduct. After men have
been convicted for offenses, in
which politics did not enter, and
confined in the penitentiary they
have been seen alone upon the
streets OF Frankfort, and without
comment. II it be wrong to be
humane and right to be cruel !
suppose | am guilty. am tired OF
being called upon to be a demon. "
AS to the social equality OF the
county judge and the prisoners,
the public can judge between a
man who accepts hospitality only
to abuse it by being responsible
for the public criticism Of his host,
and men who have been unfor-
tunately cast in prison as a result
of political persecution. As to the
liberties allowed the prisoners,
they are in the custody of the Jail
er, and it is usual for jailers, who
alone are responsible, to allow
their prisoners whatever liberty
they deem proper.

The matter Of giving a charity
ball does not involve a question OF
religion, morality or propriety. 1t
is merely the means adopted to
raise funds for relieving destitu-
ton and distress. The churches
minister to the spiritual wants Of
those who attend, but they do not
in all cases feed the hungry or
clothe the naked, and this makes
it necessary to practice outside
charity, and to practice charity re-
quires money. Charity balls are

THE EXPENSES PILE UP.

Mayor Lang's final report, uu-
der the head OF salaries, states;
The salary appropriation aP-
prcximates per annum cost OF
$1,000.
The recent increase at mayors
salary, city judges salary, and
other salaries will swell this ex-
penditure materiallySwit no ap-
preparation for such increase the
first six months of the coming
year.
"In addition TO the salaries in
the regular appropriation, the as
SCISSOR has a salary of sIIoo, and
the city tax collector tI5oo.
These swell the matter OF sal
aries for term Of tour years to
$500 The city prosecuting at
torney has Appropriated an an
nual cost paid out Of the fines and
forfeitures in the city court OF
$4,000. or a total for the term Of
$1,000"
This would make the annual
salary appropriation about s96oo
But this is not all. The council,
in addition to increasing the sal
aries Of mayor, city judge and
others, has increased the pay Of
police officers ten dollars a month,
and with twenty-five police officers,
this toots up to s. 900 a year. An
ordinance is 10 be introduced add
ing six new police officers, whose
aggregate salaries will be s. $40 a
year, adding to the police appro-
priation, which Mayor Lang says
has been SOC, 900 in four years,
s7,72o more a year, and which
does not include the increase in
the police captain and lieutenants
salary.
Yet il is the intention to also in
crease the salaries OF hremen and
city engineer, despite the fact that
we are told by the retiring mayor
that there is mo appropriation for
such increase the first six months
OF the coming year"
The money will have to come
from somewhere. II it is Dor
rowed from the appropriations for
other municipal departments, these
departments must in consequence
suffer; il borrowed from the next
annual levy, there will be a short
age in that. Yet we are told BY
ex-Mayor Lang that the tax rate
during the past four years has
been inadequate.
The tax payers are therefore
confronted with big increase in
tax rate. to meetthese heroic feats
Of management performed by the
men they have placed in Office. II

inadequate, and the increase in

There are several reasons why
the civic federation should have
charge OF the charitable work Of
the city. The members OF it have
the time to devote to il, and their
services cost the city nothing
1t relieves the mayor OF the annoy
ance and embarrassment OF having
to consider applications for charity
and insures a judicious expendi-
ture oithe funds appropriated out
Of the taxes, because the ladies
have time to Investigate cases and
