very satisfactory yields are almost assur-

How the Famous Piece Was Conceived
by Chopin.
That Is a remarkable story which ziem,
the French artist. formerly the intimate
friend OF Chopin, has just told of the
origin of the Iatter's Funeral March"
The famous composition was conceived in
Ziems own atelier and under eircum-
stances. uncanny enough. Late one aft
ernoon." says the painter. Chopin and
sat talking in my studio. | spoke of music
and he of painting. Strange is IL not2
Artists are very fond of exchanging views
in this way In one corner Of the room
stood a piano. and in another the complete
skeleton of man. with a large white
cloth thrown. ghost-like about IL.
Il noticed that now and again ChOpin'S
gaze would wander. and from my knowl-
edge of the man. knew that his thoughts
were far away from me and his surround
fngs. More than that. knew that he was
composing. Presently he arose from his
seat without a word, walked over TO the
skeleton. and removed the cloth. He then
carried IL TO the piano. and. seating him
self, took the hideous object upon his
knees.
"A strange picture OF life and death!
Then. drawing the white cloth around
himself and the skeleton he laid the lat
ter's fingers over his own and began to
play. There was no hesitation in the slow
measured flow OF sound which he and the
skeleton conjured up.
LAS the music sweled In louder strain
/ closed my eyes. for there was something
weird in the picture OF man and a
skeleton seated at the piano. with the
shadows OF evening creeping around them
and the ever-swelling and r-softeniug
music filling the air with mystery. And I
knew / was listening to a composition
which would live forever. The music ceas-
ed and when / looked up the plano chair

swooned. but his march was found. -

PROGRESS IN MEXICO.
New Government of the Federal Dis.
trict Will Include Sub
urban Towns.

The new administration of the fed
eral district of Mexico, which went into
effect on July 1, will make for increased
efficiency and marked improvement in
the living conditions of the inhabitants
OF the district, particularly in the sub
urban towns, says Modern Mexico.
These towns, instead of being depend
ent purely on their local resources and
the greater or less enterprise and in
telligence of their annually elected mu-
nicipal boards, which were often uncer-
tain factors, will be taken directly I'M
der the wing of the federal government,
whose ample means will be available for
the improvements demanded by health,
decency and comfort In other words,
these towns will be no longer isolated
and left to prosper or decay, accord
ing to the abundance or scarcity of their
own funds, but will be taken into a
general system of which the capital will
be the head, and, equally with the capt.
tai, they will be the object of the solicit
tude and liberality of the federal ex-
chequer. There will be no atrophfed
members in the district community, as
each will receive generous and invig-
Grating current of the life-fluid. In
fact, the whole spirit of the law is that
this district. the seat of the federal au-
thorities, is in a special manner their
concern; it is In way their estate, SO
to speak, their show place, and, there
fore. every part of 1t will be entitled
to the proper care which beauty and
more solid interests demand.
The law vests the administration Of
the federal district in three federally
appointed officials, known as the gov
ernor of the district, the president of
the superior board Of health and the
director of public works, in some cases
acting together as superior governing
board, or separately. each in a clearly
defined sphere of action.
The ayuntamientos, or municipal
councils, cease to be governing and adj
ministering bodies, and, in fact, cease
as corporations to have an Independent
legal existence, but on the other hand,
boards of aldermen will continue to be
elected in the capital and outside towns
of the district, and they will constitute
a popular check on the superior govern
Ing board. They will be the representa-
tives, the guardians Of the interests of
their several localities, with the rights
of initiative, vigilance and veto. They
will be entitled to suggest measures in
the interest of their constituencies; to
exercise supervision over the proper car
rying out of measures adopted; and to
suspend public works, which they con-
slider detrimental, by veto which can
not be ultimately set aside except by
the president of the republic, acting with
the advice of his cabinet
