Monuments at Rome

The Emperor William has given a
statue of Goethe to be set up In Rome,
and Americans are to give statues Of
Hawthorne and Longfellow. Italians
feel grateful for these expressions Of
good will toward the Eternal City and
yet ashamed that their own greatest
poet should have been unrepresented
in the capital of the kingdom. There
was a serious project to raise a mon
ument to Dante. but King Humbert's
death interfered with the project,
which is now revived. BY the irony Of
fate the movement Is led by a clerical.
Dante, besides being the father of the
Italian language. was the incarnation
OF the Ghibelline idea, as opposed
to Guelf or clerical. Now, to the stu
pefaction of all, a strong clerical In
the municipal council has risen and
proposed that Rome erect a monument
OF Italy's greatest son.-Rome Corre-

miration for a personality and the
work OF Wagner. He was himself
originally an opera singer. and. while
changing his life work, he has always
remained true to the stage and to
music. The greatest lights of the
theatrical world, celebrated professors,
famous men in science and literature,
gather at his h%ospitable residence.
That his love for art and enthusiasm
for Wagner are not merely platonic,
but genuine, he has shown in practical
ways again and again and 1t is to his
generous gift of $4,000 that the reten-
ton in Germany of the Wagner Mu-
scum ut E%isenbach is due.
1t Is also he to whom Germany Is in
debted more than to any other for the
suitable monument to Wagner in Ber-
lin. Leichner himself gave SIS 900 to-
ward the project. besides calling meet
ings in furtherance of the scheme not
only in Germany, but also In many
centers OF German life abroad. He was
president of the monument committee,
and not only entertained Its members
In fine style when they came together
in Berlin. but gave eloquent expression
to his views and feelings on the occa-
sion. The name of Leichner Is thus
i~nseparably associated with the Wag-
ner monument.

why One Book Agent Quit.

Several senators were discussing in
the cloakroom their experiences in get
ting rid Of Objectionable visitors. The
talk recalled an episode in the life of
the late Justice Field Of the Supreme
Court, whose temper was Of the most
irascible kind. He had given instruc-
lions to his servant on a certain morn
ing that he was not to be disturbed.
Presently there anne a ring at the door

peared.

said.
"You can not see him." was the I'D

The conversation grew more en-
phatic. until finally the persistent book
agents demands echoed through the
house. At that moment Justice Field,
who had been attracted by the alter
cation, appeared at the head Of the
stairs.
