Realizing that death was not far off, the

allowed to play lively airs under his
window until his life should have ebbed
away.
Despite the great nervous strain
which such an arrangement naturally
was to the members of the family, they
gratified his wish and the members Of

If the word of the impresario is to
be taken, Richard Strauss may not come
to this country at all next season. Some
time ago it was announced that Strauss
would tour America, appearing at the
head of well-knowr permanent orches-
tras. such as the New York Philhar-
monic. Boston symphony and similar or-
CARNATIONS.
The plan was that the orchestras play
a program of Strauss music. conducted
by its famous composer. 1t was said
that Emil Paur, who recently retired
from the dictatorship of the Philhar-
monte Orchestra, would act as Strauss
impresario Strauss himself denies this.
and says that the statement was made
through some mistake on the part or
some one not known.
Strauss says that he has two offers
to come to America, and is undecided
which to accept. adding that he may
conclude not to take either and remain
in Europe This will, of course, be
bitter disappointment to the music
loving public of America, as the idea is
not only a novel one 10 the people Of
this country. but Strauss appearance
here would give concertgoers chance
to hear his music as he desires 1t to be
interpreted.

DETECTIVES DEPART.
Carnival Thief Catchers Re-
turn to Cleveiand-.Few
Crooks Were Here.

Detectives Watt and Whalen, OF
Cleveland, who have been on duty at
the Elks' carnival during the past
week, aiding the local police force to
keep crooks from working in the
crowds, left the city Sunday morning
for their homes In Cleveland. The
three alleged crooks whom they ar
rested during their stay In this city
were given their freedom Monday
noon on condition that they leave the
city at once. Marshal Bour took the
three men and put them on an Ak
ron car and accompanied them to the
city. limits. He warned them that II
they returned they would be simme-
diately arrested.
The police officials say that Canton
was particularly fortunate in not hav-
ing a gang Of crooks in the city dur.
ing the carnival Watt and Whalen
were on duty at the carnival at Ely
ria two weeks ago and arrested about
rs crooks in that city. Before coming
here the detectives informed the
crooks whom they had arrested that
they were coming to Canton and II
they found any Of them here they
would be arrested. ...
The fact that the detectives were in
town probably kept many OF. the Cleve-
land crooks from coming to the city.
The detectives were paid by the Elks
for their services.

(PIttSburg Dspatcn.)
II has been announced that half OF
the S650.GO0 required for the erection
OF the national Mckinley memorial at
Canton has been subscribed and opti-
mistic comments are made upon the
fact that whereas 1t took nine years
to raise the money for the Garfield
memorial and 13 years to collect the
fund for Grants tomb this remark
able progress has been made In the
Mckinley fund in nine months
While the record is no doubt crafty
ing It may be doubted IL this optimism
is wholly justified. The general rule
In matters of this kind has been that
the greatest progress has been made
within the first year after the death of
the person to be honored. This was
but natural and inevitaDie. AS time
passes public interest subsidies, sub
scripttons decrease and then it becomes
q drag to secure the balance of the
estimate. 1t will undoubtedly be much
more difficult to obtain the other hal
of the money asked for the Mckinley
monument than it was to secure the
first. Yet there will be a general con-
sensus of opinion that this should not
be 80. The services of the dead presi-
dent to his country, the circumstances
Of his death and the universal admi-
ration of his personal character should
procure reader response to the ap-
peal to honor his memory. The sum
asked is less than a cent per capita
Tor the population of the United States;
the balance yet needed half that The
completion of the fund should be made

people.

The End Of Of Tracy.

! ne enc OF OF tracy
Since the days of Robin Hood novel;
lists and dramatists have found a
thrilling scheme in the stories Of OUT
laws and pirates. Rebellion against
oppression has been the lofty motive
assigned for their acts, and their per-
sonal courage has been employed to
excuse their wanton lawlessness.
Something of the same sort is no
doubt responsible for the peculiar
fascination which the deeds of tho
James and Younger gangs have had
for some people. The expression Of
regret that Tracy's reputed bravery
and resourcefulness should not have
been better employed Is merely an
other phase Of 1t. 1t considers but one
side of the matter. The physical cour-
age born OF desperation is an unrelia-
BILE adjunct to character, since des-
peration is required to call 1t into
being.
The end of Tracy was that Of a
coward. Hunted to earth, he killed
himself. There was nothing but the
number of his crimes to distinguish
Tracy's record from that of the cow
ardly and stealthy burglar who slays
HIS discoverer Yet no one will ac-
cord that species of criminal any spe-
cial praise for courage. The most
cowardly dogs will snarl and bite
when forced into corner.-Pittsburg
