nificant incident that the composer
was SO little known In Rome. He was
refused admittance into the Teatro
Costanzi, where "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" was being rehearsed for its
first public performance. This opera
had won the Sonzogna competition
and was being prepared for presenta-
ton under Sig. Mascheroni. Mascag-
nj, who for weeks had been experi-
encing the bitterness of great pow
erty, went to the Costanzi to see his
work in preparation. He had never
seen it on. the stage-in fact, had
never heard note sung, except by
his own badly trained voice, and he
was full of nervous expectancy as he
approached the theater. But the
doorkeeper looked askance at his
frayed garments and thought of CALL
ing an officer when the figure before
him claimed to be the composer of
the opera being rehearsed within.
The indignant and disappointed mu-
sician paced up and down the side
walk half an hour, when Sig. Mas
cheroni happened to come to the
door, recognized the haggard young
man and led him within. The even

ferent shape. The Frenchman, with
his thin and spare frame, has often
muscles of iron and nerves of steel;
and yet to look at him is to be struck
with a certain daintiness of shape, as
we'll as of manner, which marks him
out at once from an Englishman. But
Sir Wilfrid Laurier is French rath-
er of the eighteenth than of the twen-
tieth century. Like his own people,
who still retain their language express
sions that are archaic to the ear of the
modern Partisan, Sir Wilfrid strikes
one as rather an old world type of
Frenchman.
"He has less ebullient vivacity, less
responsiveness, more slowness of move
ment and ceremoniousness of manner
than one finds in the present day
Frenchman. You think of him rather
as the companion of Talleyrand and
Chateaubriand than of Waldeck Rous-
seau and NJ. Henri Rochefort. NO
body said Talleyrand, knew the real
charm of life in France who did not
live before the revolution What,
doubtless, he was thinking of was the
stateliness of manner. the brilliancy
of conversation, the romance of gal
lantry, the ease of fortune, and SUI
periority to ordinary cares which were
the characteristics of that wonderful
aristocracy that robbed and enslaYed
and trampled on France, but meantime
enjoyed itself in a grand manner, and
did everything with a noble air. One
thought of the France of the pre-revo-
lutionary times as one gazed at the
long, beautiful fingers Of the delicate
hands of Sir Wilfrid Laurier-at the
perfection of every little gesture-at
the apparent ease and open frankness,
and yet the unmistakable tact and dis
erection with which he discussed every
body and everything. It is no won--
der that he has such hold over the
hearts of his people; he is~tbe flower of
their stock -

description by one of his admiring
constituents way down in Maine"
of Congressman Charles e. Little
field, who has swung into prominence
through the announcement. that he is
to enter the legislative lists as admin
istration champion in the contest with
the trusts.
This hunter and challenger of the
"octupus," as Jerry Simpson and the
lattcr's old associates were wont to
term combinations of capital, is q
characteristic product of the Pine
Tree state. He has helped to keep
his native state prominent in the
public mind, as have others of her
celebrated sons, like Blaine and
Dinghy and. Frye and Milliken and
Boutelle and goodly company of
dead and gone statesmen. He has
done it in his own way, without the
fault of imitation and by presenting
new phrases of the rugged New Eng
land character. Those who know
him well would hesitate to call him
demagogue, although some of his
performances have been almost as
bizarre as those of men in congress
and other public positions who are
usually thought of as belonging to
that class. s ~ a ,4334s. "a

A former officer OF the Salvation
Army at New York has said that
Herbert Booth, who recently left the
army, was now in America, having
arrived a few weeks ago, and it. was
probable that Gen. Booth would ar
rive within a few weeks to make an,
effort to bring about a reconciliation
between himself and his children, six
of whom are out of the Salvation
Army. Gen. Darlington BoothJS' of
the Volunteers of America, hast re-

day he assumed his congressional du-
ties.
Congressman Littlefeld is just 81
years of age and bears .the impress
: of one who has fought through his
half-century of existence. He is a
fighter by nature and training. It
is this strenuous element in his char
acter that has recommended him to
President Roosevelt. It was not un-
til Littlefeld dealt the administra-
tion solar-plexus blow in the Gu
ban reciprocity fight that the presi-
dents attention was thoroughly riv-
eted on the imam from Maine. 1t was
then that Roosevelt remarked to a
friend: "That man Littlefeld-why,

Charles E. Littlefield and the way he

stances and men until he has COM
PEELED success.
He did not have time to go
through college, but. having obtained
a common school education, he took
up the study of law and was admit
ted to the bar at the age of 25. He
has a natural love for politics and
entered public life as member Of
the Maine legislature and was
chosen speaker of the house while
!. serving his second term in that body.
AS attorney general of Maine for
four years, from 1889 to 1898, Mr..
Littlefeld achieved his first national
reputation by fighting railroad cor
porations that are so powerful in
his state. 1t was then that he devel-
oped taste for "octupust hunting
that is now making him a national
figure. He compelled payments from
the railroads of large sums in the
way of taxes that had been refused
for years.
Mr.. Littlefield's record in congress
shows that he is not an indiscrim-
mate fighter of trusts and does not
follow the Irish maxim of "when you
see head, hit it," with regard to
these combinations. The second set
speech he made in the house of rep
resentatiyes was on this very SUBJ
ject of the restraint of combinat ions
and at that time he, advocated an
amendment to the constitution which
would confer greater power on con-
gress to deal with corporations.

BRooKLAND ASSOCIATION.
Citizens Meet and Discuss Interests of
the Suburb,

The regular November meeting of the
Brookland Citizens Association was held
last evening in the town hall of that sub
urb. Considerable discussion was had on
the question of better police protection, and
a resolution was passed requesting the Dis
trict authorities to assign resident police
men to reserve duty in that section. 1t was
pointed out that a similar arrangement Is
in practice at Benning and Ivy City.
A report of the executive committee. re-
uuesting the District Commissioners to in
clude items in their estimates to Congress
for improvements in the streets of Brook
land, was adopted. The streets named are
Fort street, from 10Th to 18th streets; of
Lansing street, from 18th to 18th streets;
of Concord street. from 18th to 18th streets,
and of Dover street, from 10th to 14th
streets.
The present gas supply for the section was
discussed and action was advocated look
ing to the restoration of the twenty-six
candle power light. Announcement was
made by the secretary Mr.. E. P. Ellis that
trees would be planted in all places in
Brookland where cement sidewalks and
cobble cutters exist. Reports were also re-
ceived concerning other street improve
ments, showing that the work was rapidly
nearing completion.

THEY LIKE WASHINGTON.
Veterans Want All Future Encamp-
ments Held Here.


The great success which attended the re.
cent national encampment Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic here has resulted in
creating strong sentiment among the vet
Grams in favor of making Washington the
permanent encampment city for that or
ganlzation This sentiment is taking defin-
lite shape. as already Representative
Charles H Grosvenor has been requested
to Introduce bill at the coming session Of
Congress which will have as its purpose
the holding annually Of the encampments
Of the G. A. r. in this city.
Samuel F. McCloud of Long Branch City,
N. J.. and J. C. Carr Of Cincinnati. are
prominent members Of the G. A. r. and
both attended the late encampment here.
Mr.. Carr. who was in Washington yes
terday. has placed the matter in the hands
Of Representative Grosvenor. He agrees
with Mr.. McCloud that washington is the
proper place to hold the encampment every
year on account of the many battlefields
near 1t. which are great attraction to the
old soldiers. especially Gettysburg"
The promoters of this proposition believe
that as an inducement for all the old sol
diers to attend future encampments to be
held In Washington, the government should
furnish transportation to all honorabiy dis
charged soldiers and sailors to ana from
this CITY, and quarters and rations for them
while here. and Gen. Grosvenor has been
requested to incorporate such provisions in
the proposed bill
THAT" said Mr.. Carr, sis as little as the
government can do for the disappearing
army of veterans who placed their lives
upon the altar OF their country when the
life of the nation was threatened. Besides
the battlefieIds in this vicinity, Washington
Is always a place Of great and ever-chang-
ing interest to the veterans, who would
come here In even greater numbers IL Uncle
Sam will show his generosity and apprecia-
ton by unloosing his purse strings"
