Verdi was born in Rancola. in the
duchy of Parma, in 1910. His father
was an innkeeper.
He had lived in retirement since the
production of "Fallstaff," his last op-
era. at Paris in 1891. When he pre-
sented himself for admission to the
conservatory at Milan he was refused
because, in the opinion Of the director,
he had mo aptitude whatever for
music" In 1888 Verdi went to Milan
and then became conductor. His
first opera was produced in 1889 at the
Scala. Its title was "Oberto, Conte di
San Bonifacio." His first important
success was "Nabucco." In his later
operas Verdi showed decided Wag-
merriam influence.
Verdi's best known operas are "Neb-
uchadnezzar.'' "Ernani." "Attila,"
Macbeth" "Riggoletto." al Trova-
tore" LA Traviata." "Otello," "Gio-
vanni d'Arco," "Aida" and "Una Ballo
in Maschera." Perhaps his most pop
ular composition is "Il Trovatore."
Verdi was very wealthy at the time Of
his death.

Take Last Look at Dead Queen.

Cowles, Jan. 26.-The royul family
yesterday took their last look at the
features Of the dead queen. About 10
o'clock in the morning the shell was
brought into the bed room, where were
waiting King Edward. Emperor Will
lam, the duke of Connaught, Sir James
Reid and the royal ladies. The latter
having retired, Sir james Reid, assist
ed by three trusted household servants,
and in the presence of the king, the
emperor and the duke removed the
body from the bed to the coffin. Not n
trace of the ravages of disease was
visible. The servants having retired,
Queen Alexandra the prince and the
children were called and with linger-
ing steps ind stified sObs they passed
slowly before the white robed and
peaceful figure. At the foot. never
moving, stood the king, and when the
mourning crowd had passed there re-
mained only the son and grandson Of
the dead.
Emperor william wept even more
bitterly than the royal ladies. Finally
he also retired and the king was left
alone. Sir james Reid, beckoning to
the servants, who were holding the
coffin lid, asked the kings instructions.
For few seconds the king stood
speechless, stricken with emotion at
the last farewell. Then he said quick:
"Close 1t finally; 1t must not be opened
again."
Thus the remains Of England's great
est ruler were forever closed from hu-
man view Reverently the coffin was
borne into the dining room. Officers
and men from the royal yachts took
their stands around the coffin, over
which the king, queen and kaiser gen
tly laid the robes of the Knights of the
Garter, placing mt the head diamond
crown. Hanging above was the union
jack.
At the altar was the rector of Whip
bingham. who read II portion of the
funeral service in the presence of the
royal family. Emperor William Gov
cred his face with his hands, and the
grief of Prlncrcss Beatrice was pitiful.
After the bcnedictlon each placed
wreath upon the coffin and then all re-
tired.
The arrangements Cor thc.funcral arc
gradually evolving. The remains OF
the queen will be taken to Portsmouth
on board the royal yacht Alberta ana
will remain on the boat Friday night,
February I.
1t was virtually settled that there
will be an imposing funeral procession
through London. headed by the king,
Emperor William and Lord Roberts.
The route is nearly the same ms that
of Lord Roberts triumphnl entry, but
reversed.
