A COMPOSERS Sad Decline.

All music lovers will be very sorry to hear
that the latest reports about the health Of
Giacomo Puccini, the composer Of LA Boheme"
and ''TOsca," very far from reassuring.
II is now some months since he was travelling
one evening in his motor and was thrown
out, his thigh bone being badly broken. He
Was at Once taken home, and passed many
weeks of suffering, but cheerful and hope
full, and all seemed going well. However, the
weeks passed into months, and they say the
months will pass into years, and he still walks
with crutches, as the bone ~il not knit
Puccini was noted among Italians for his love
OF sport, especially shooting. When his fingers
were not the keyboard of the piano they held
a gun, the tramping and physical fatigue being
not the least of the enjoyment. That this man,
almost a giant in stature and strength, should
become chronic invalid must distress not only
his nearest and dearest, but also those who
know him only through his music. Puccini
shows the marks Of his suffering, physical and
mental. He Is gaunt and pale, with expres-
sion which causes the eyes of those who know
him 10 I'll with tears, since as the Italians say,
His life is finished. Pail Mall Gazette.

Related to Reigning Houses.

/ may add that Duke Robert was re-
lated. not merely to the Bonapartes.
through Empress Josephine's marriage
to the first Napoleon. but likewise to
many of the reigning houses of Europe.
the famous Grand Duchess Stephanie Of
Baden. grandmother OF the present
Prince of Hohenzollern, of the future
Queen OF Belgium, and also OF the fu-
ture King and Queen OF Sweden. having
been a Mile. Tascher de la Pagerie. a
niece OF Empress Josephine, and TN
adopted daughter Of the first Napoleon.
1t should be borne in mind that the
new and seif-styled Duke Charles Louis
Tascher de la Pagerie has no share in
the relationship with all these reigning
and mediatized houses OF Europe. For
1t is necessary to go back to an epoch
considerably prior to the French revo-
luton OF 1893 In order to discover the
connection of his branch of the Tascher
family with that to which belonged the
late duke.

Wretched Car Service.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
I wish to denounce in the strongest terms
possible the inadequate service furnished
by the Washington Railway Company between
the Car barn at Fifteenth and II Streets north
east and Chesapeake Junction. II is bad be-
yond any excuse, and disgrace to the COM
pany which allows it, On the night Of the sth
instant with others, the writer came up from
Chesapeake Beach on the s O'Clock train. There
were at least seventy-five people on the train,
and the trainmen told me that message had
been sent to the line superintendent, informing
him of the number Of passengers to be carried
to the city.
Upon the arrival of the train there was
at the Junction, but within ten minutes the
regular trip car came in. There were the
seventy-five passengers and about a dozen ne
groes TO be brought in. The conductor, motor
man, and a policeman in citizens clothes ex-
erted themselves to jam the number named upon
the car. 1t was impossible for all to be car
ried, and equally impossible for half of those
who did board the car TO ride in comfort or
even safety. Twelve of the party, tired, hun
cry, and mad clear through at the idiotic man
agement of the car company in not sending
down an extra" to carry in load Of pas
sengers, waited in the cold and mist forty
minutes for the regular tripper TO return and
bring them into the city.
The only cause TO be assigned for such a con-
dition OF things is the pusillanimous policy
pursued by the superintendent OF the Columbia
line His action last night would not be sane
toned at the headquarters Of the company, if
the facts we're known. The superintendent is
clothed with authority, and, in point of fact, he
Is under orders, TO provide for such an emer-
gency that at the Junction when the train
came in. His failure to send an extra car
out there a good deal worse than poor
judgment. II was Of character which ought
to lay him liable TO dismissal from his position,
10 say nothing Of a singing reprimand from
the vice president Of the road. The policy pur-
sued by this man is too mean 10 be tolerated,
and the public ought to raise a storm about
his ears which would either lead 10 an i'm
proyement in the service insure his transfer
TO a position where he could infiict less dis
comfort upon the people, who in reality sup
port his company and pay his salary.

their thinking for them. EIer grand
mother might perhaps tell different
tale.
If this lady is really desirous OF
tasting the life of the old-fashioned
woman, let her spend a few months
rying to keep house in one of those
retired spots where they do not have
all the modern improvements. Then
let her reflect that her grandmother
had to do, or superintend, a dozen diff
terent kinds Of work which even the
farmers wife of today does not IN
derstand.
If the advanced clubwoman OF the
twentieth century thinks her ancestors
did not need brains, let her go home
and hunt up her gran0mother's cook
look and make pickles. The supply Of
pickles, preserves, dried fruits, and
essences for the household had all to
be made under the eye Of the house
wife three generations ago. She had
not only to make her own gowns, but
often the garments worn by her hus-
band and sons were the work Of her
iingers-and there were no sewing
machines IN those days. In addition
to this, she not infrequently kept bees
and poultry, raised flowers and vege-
tables, and read with interest works
which the average woman of today
would consider too profound to com
pTehend without a tutor, and too dull
tc repay study.
The woman of 1903 a brainless
creature, indeed! 1t would be hard
for some of her brilliant descendants
tc keep up with her.

Political Gossip
Here and There
Many Candidates in Illinois.

The Illinois field is flied with candi-
dates for the governorship almost
year in advance Of the nominating con-
vention. At the present time It is I'M
possible to make even a good guess as
to who the nominee will be. In ad-
dition TO q half dozen or more men In
active politics today, It is intimated
that Ex-Governor Fifer, who retired
from public Office ten years ago, may be
brought out as a candidate. His friends
are endeavoring to start boom for him
on the ground that he is not identified
prominently with any OF the various fac
tions and eliques Of the State and would
be likely to poll the full strength of the
party.
Recently there has been so much talk
of Fifer that the supporters of other
aspirants have begun 10 knock" the ex-
governor and to call attention to the
fact that he is the only Republican who
has been defeated for governor OF I'LL
nois in many years Fifer. who served
a term as governor. was renominated
in 1892 and was defeated by the late
John Peter AItgeld. when the great
Democratic tidal wave swept over the
country and inundated the Republicans
In many States which had been the bull
warks OF the party.
In answer TO the charge OF defeat
against Fifer his friends show that he
nevertheless made a strong candidate
In that disastrous year. and that the sit
uation was such that no Republican
could have been elected. He received
three thousand more votes in the State
than did General Harrison. the Repub-
lcan candidate for President In that
year. and nearly two thousand more than
the national ticket in the city OF Chicago,
where Altgeld was especially popular.

Preserve the Beauty of Great Fallsi

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
viii the construction Of the Great Fails
Power Company dam have any effect on the
beautiful scenery at Great FallsY
Plans for the utilization Of water power above
the falls announce that water is 70 be diverted
into canal by means OF a great dam which
Is TO adioin the Government dam Will this
canal carry water around the picturesque gorge
through which it now passes, or will the water
be allowed to continue in its present course
after running through short canal?
All OF these questions are Of great importance
to Washingtonians who appreciate the beauty
OF the upper Potomac and are not willing to
have the volume Of water over the falls dimin-
ished TO such degree that future generations
Will not be able to and hear the running
torrent which now pours through the gorge.
Electric railways and power plants es'
sential to the comfort Of the public, but the
only really grand bit Of scenery near Wash
ington should not be sacrificed TO utility.
General Gillespie Chief of Engineers, has APP
proved the plans Of the Great Falls Power Com
pany- He doubtless would not have done this
If the proposed canal is TO be Of such nature
that II viii ruin the Great Falls.
Still the plans Of the company may bear in
.vestiFation, and such an investigation would be
in line with the policy Of The Times in oppos-
ing the destruction Of the natural beauty Of the
country surrounding Washington.

His Best Cow.

OF the childhood Of c. Oliver Iselin they tell
many stories in New Rochelle where Mr.. Iselin
has his country house. All View.
According TO one Of these stories, the boy and
half dozen other boys took a walking trip
through the state Of New York a number OF
years ago. One night, rather late, they passed
a farm whose gatepost bore the sign, '.Milk for

ing to keep ones coat buttoned and
refrain from swinging ones club.
Minuti9 such as these make all the
difference between a well-groomed
man and a slovenly one. If one must
stand in a certain place for hours at
Il time, il Is easier as we'll as more ef-
tective to stand straight and look sol
Gierly. The man who is on the police
force should take as much pride in his
personal appearance as if he were an
officer in the army There is little
danger that any American city will
lapse into the fatuous folly of making
drill the prime object in its police
force, and usefulness second; il will
not happen here, at any rate, until
the policemen are much more numer-
Gus than they are now. But there are
two reforms badly needed here: One
is an increase in the police force, so
that time can be devoted sometimes
to mere drill; the other, an increased
determination in the force itself to
appear well groomed and well disci-
plined.

Colonel Troup Rebukes Bryan.

Among those 10 rebuke Colonel Bryan
for his Endorsement OF the Hon John II.
Clarke, the Johnson candidate for rhe
Senate In Ohio, is Col. Alexander Troup,
Democratic national committeeman for
Connecticut. and heretofore a stanch
friend of the Nehraskan. Colonel Troup
has much standing and strong influence
with the Connecticut Democracy. and so
wroth is he with Bryan for indorsing
Clarke that he has made what is prae-
tically q demand upon him that he sur
render his so-called leadership OF the
party.
Colonel Troup charges Bryan with in
consistency and with having done what
he has all along urged his friends not 10
do. AS the situation now stands there
is a breach between Bryan and a man
who has been one of his warmest friends
in the East, the man who next TO George
Fred Williams has been perhaps the
most ardent Bryan supporter in New
England. Colonel Bryan was in New
Haven last week but when questioned
IN regard TO the attitude OF Colonel
Troup refused to make an expression
upon the subject Bryan does not ap-

advocacy OF the election OF Clarke. but

Yates Win Remain in the Field.

A great many OF the older Republi-
cans of the State are looking with
favor upon the candidacy Of Governor
Fifers and his appearance is said TO be
causing some OF the other aspirants un-
easiness. Despite the fact that Boss"
Lorimer has delivered an ultimatum to
Governor Yates 70 the effect that he
cannot have q denomination, the Hon.
Richard IS determined to remain in the
race to the end. and has started out
to manage his own canvass with his
own little machine made up of his ap-
pointees. The governors postal card
campaign is something quite new in Illi-
nois politics. He is also taking occa-
sion to show himself at all the county
fairs and oranges in order to get in
touch with the people and let them know
that they really have a governor. al
though many of them have for some
time had serious doubts upon the sub
iect- Yates, Of course. does not stand

Words of announcement.

Admiral Watson always prohibited swearing

uiral His the flagship, and yet her men
were sometimes the last to finish the execution

day when the seamen were behind in getting
down from the rigging he called the captain to
him.
"Why is it," he asked, ''that here on the
flagship, where ought to be the quickest, the
men are behind the other shipsy'
While the oficer WAS seeking for an inoffen-

Financial Differences.

The differences between the duke and
duchess seem to have been mainly of
financial character, and had the ex-
duchess shown herself less close -nsted
in money matters. and had she refratned
from making the duke feel too acutcly
the fact that she had purchased both his
title and himself. she might still today
be wearing his coronet without protest,
The Duke OF Tarente must not be coI.-
founded with that immensely wealthy
and ultra fashionable Prince de Tarente.
of the Jockey Club. who is the son and
heir OF the Duke de La Tremoille, and
OF Thours. He is of Scotch ancestry. being
descended from one of the members Of
that illustrious Scotch house OF Mac
Donald, who. like his kinswoman. Flora
Macdonald, the heroine in so manY of
the adventures of the Stuart Pretander,
espoused the Jacobite cause. and was
in consequence thereof compelled 20 fee
from Scotland and TO take up his resi-
dence in France. Indeed, the armoriai
bearings of the Duke OF Tarente are
identical with those of Lord Macdonald,

from the Lord of the Isles. The duke
dom OF Tarente bids fair TO become ex-
tinct. unless the duke marries again. in
which event he would. of course, lose
his alimony. For he has no children,
and only three sisters. one OF whom is
married TO an English officer Of the
name OF Coates. now stationed out in
India.
