GIUSEPPE VERDI DEAD.
Composer ,f 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. He was born in 1918
near Parma, at the foot of the Aper.
mines. At IL he was the organist of
Roncole, his native village. He first
married the daughter of the conductor
of the theater of La Scala. For 30
years ne has made the villa of St. Ago.
tina, near Busseto, his favorite resi-.
dence. After the death of his first
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, 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," "lI Trova-
tore," ''La Travaita," "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 competitions have
been very numerous. AS early as 1347
he wrote the "'Masnadieri. 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 a member of the Italian parIia.
ment, and served his country in the
capacity of minister of public instruc.
rion. 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 a
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
~ years OF age. ---.s--ss--s--s

Spanish Drydock Not Wanted.

Washington. Jan 2S.-The naval
board, headed by Judge Advocate Gen.
eral Lemley. appointed to decide on
the advisability of purchasing the large
floating drydock in Havana harbor
from the government of Spain, reports
that to place the dock in thorough
shape and to prepare it for a voyage
would involve an expenditure of over
$500,000, and that a dock could be
built new at figure not greater. Ad-
miral Endicott, chief of the bureau of
docks and yards, has recommended
that, as there is no present necessity
for the acquisition by this government
of such dock, the tender of the Span
ish government for it's removal to the
United States shall not be accepted.
Secretary Long has approved this rec
,ommendation.

Great Devastation in New Heb
rides and New Britain.
NUMBER OF NATIVES WERE DROWNED
French Traders Reported Trying to Stir Up
Anti.British Feeling in Former Islands
-lnnumerable Craft Wrecked.

Victoria. B. c., Jan. 2s.-Great
devastation was wrought and number
of natives were drowned by the hurri-
cane in the New Hebrides and New
Britain, December Z, and 9, accord
ing to news brought by the Aorangi.
At Herbertshohe, while the settlement
was asleep, tremndous sea carried
lighters, boats, ketches and wreckage of
all criptions ashore. Innumera BILE
craft were wrecked. The steamer
Stettin, the steam yacht Elberhard and
The government steamer Stephen were
saved by running to Matupi for shelter.
The mission steamer Kingfsher was
totally wrecked and the government
wharf washed away. December the
stone breakwater surrounding the New
Guinea wharves gave way and vesseles
inside were all wrecked, with losses
amounting to 10000 marks. A mum.
ber of natives were drowned and many
injured.
The Aorangi brings news of a fire at
Greta mines, N. S. W., in which five
lives were lost. Rescue parties worked
every effort. Finally the mine was
ordered sealed down in an effort to
fight the fire. and the men were aban-
doned to their fate.
On arrival at Sydney from Victoria
the bark Defiance reported passing a
derelict vessel of from 200 to 300 tons,
100 feet long, keel outward, evidently
wrecked month ago, in "a south, l66
east.
The Sydney Mail publishes state.
ment from its New Hebrides CORE
spondent stating that French traders
and sailors have been at those islands
endeavoring to stir up anti British feel
ing among the natives of the New Heb
rides. The allegations is made that
the French traders have represented to
the natives that England's power is
waning, and have promised them var
ious privileges for allegiance to French
interests. 1t is said that ihe natives
are being encouraged in various acts
of lawlessness against British traders,
and that native murderer of an Eng
lish skipper named Captain Nasmith
was shielded from punishment by the
captain of a French ship. Serious
trouble is predicted in the New Heb
rides.
While the steamer Titus was at the
Gllber group. at Butaritari island,
November Is, some excitement was
caused by terrific report. The ma
tives had heard it and were terribly
frightened, but they could offer no ex-

HANGING OF STlCKEL.
Washington Man Who Murdered Three People
Confessed His Grimes.

Kalama. WASH, Jan. 28.-Martin
Stickel was hanged in the Jail yard at
9:37 o'clock Friday morning, for the
murder'of w. B. Shanklin, near Kelso
in November, 1899. Stickel was taken
from the cell at 9:45 by Sheriff Hunt
ington and four attendants. He
walked to the scaffold unassisted, and
assembled the steps with steady tread,
showing that he was determined to die
like man. He stepped to the center
of the trap door, stood erect and said:
Gentlemen, 1 bid you good-by.
God help you; God forgive me. This
is the last time I will see you on this
shore. Jesus help you all; Jesus take
me; take me now."
By the time the last words were
spoken, the sheriff and his attendants
had strapped Stickels legs together,
his hands to his sides, placed the black
cap over his face, and the moose around
his neck.
At 9:57 Sheriff Huntington grasped
the lever and suddenly sprung the
trap. The condemned man fell seven
feet, and his neck was almost instant
ly broken. At 10 clock doctors pro-
nounced life extinct. The body was
cut down and placed in coffin, to be
turned over to the murderer's mother
and brother. 1t will be tken to Catlin
for burial.
The hanging was private. Every
thing worked like clockwork. There
was no trouble in any respect. The
spectators were very quiet. There was
no talking or demonstration.
Stickel was born in Adams county,
Iowa, February 9, 1870. He had re-
sided in this section about IL years.
The condemned man slept we'll last
night and ate hearty breakfast.

Engineers CareIessness the Cause
of a Bad Train Wreck.
FIVE. PERSONS WERE INSTANTLY KILLED
Mistook the First Section Of Passing Train
for the Second-Fireman and Forward
Breakman Were Also Sleeping.

Parkersburg, W. Va, Jan. 3O.-Five
persons were killed and one severely
injured and two engines and 10 loaded
cars were wrecked by the mistake of a
train crew this afternoon between Pc
troleum and Volcanic junction, on the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. The en-.
gineer was asleep at his post and mis-.
took the first section of passing train
for the second. Thinking beth had
passed he pulled his train on to the
main track and sped onward to what
would seem to have necessarily been
his DEATH,
All five men killed were pinned un.
der the wreck and at late hour to.
night only one of the bodies had been
recovered.
The accident occurred in a cut on
a curve on heavy down grade and at
the end of bridge. The third sec.
ton of No. 81 was on the siding at Pc
troleum with orders to wait there until
the second section of No. SO had
passed east. Engineer Davidson WHO
escaped with slight injuries was the

on the siding. When the first section
went by he thought it was the second
and started out onto the main track.
His fireman and forward brakeman,
both of whom were killed, must also
have been asleep, for they allowed him
to take the train out. The conductor
of the first train No. SO after he passed,
saw Davidson pulling out and tried to
wave him to stop, but failed. The
conductor of fourth 81, seeing the third
section pull out ran forward after it as
fast as possible his engineer whistling
down brakes and the conductor of the
wrecked train ran over the tops of
the cars until he reached the car next
to the last one wrecked in his attempts
to stop the engineer, but none of them
attracted his attention in time. Con-
ductor Lang managed to jump in time
to save his life.

Two Boys Were Drowned.
New York, Jan. 30.-Sixty skaters,
including many women and children,
broke through the ice on large pond
back of Evergreen cemetery, today,
and in the wild struggle for lie two
boys were droa ned. The ice over the
center of the pond, where the water
was deepest and where the skaters were
assembled in greatest numbers, sud-

The whole crowd was panic stricken.
Men and women fought to save them
selves, and children suffered in the
unequl struggle. The screams of the
skaters were heard by men employed
in factory near by, and they ran to
the pond. They dragged long planks
with them which were pushed toward
the center of the pond. Along this
footing a life line was formed. Effort
was first made to rescue the women
and children. By twos and threes
they were taken from the water and
hustled along the planks to the shore.
The police reserves and surgeons ar.

MUST SERVE IN THE ARMY.
Firms Will Be Enforced to Conform With Rus.
sian System.


St.. Petersburg, Jan. S0.-The min
istry of war has completed draft of a
law to regulate the military service
in Finland in conformity with the
system adopted in the empire at large.
1t is expected that it will be put in
force early in the year.
Governor-General Bobrikoff has late
ly issued instructions to the governors
OF the provinces in Finland urging q
stricter enforcement of the ordinance
OF last July regarding public assem-
blies. The complaint is made that
this ordinance Is evaded under pretext
Of amusements and entertainments.
Among the amusements which require
permits may be reckoned gatherings in
which social, scientific and economic
questions are discussed or where ad-
dresses are made. Assemblies which
are permitted must be watched over by
the police, whose duty it will be to
suppress demonstrations.
In order to meet the boycott of un-
popular officials by houseowners and
hotelkeepers, Governor General Bobri-
koff has purchased, for $3.50. a dwell.
ing house in Helsingfors.
For the purpos of cultivating CLOSER
relations with Bulgaria, the govern.
ment has entered into an agreement
with Prince Ferdinand's government
reducing telegraph tolls from 40 to %
centimes word, and introducing an
international money order system sim.
liar to that in vogue in Russia.
