Delmonico Orchestra Leader Gets q
Big Legacy.

New York, March 15.-No more will
the strains of Giacomo Imperatori's
Guarnerius violin be heard in the or
chestra balcony at Delmonico's. A
legacy of half a million dollars has
lured him back to Italy He sailed
on the New York, and will be followed
soon by his wife and three small chill
dren, who are still in New York. For
two years ImperatoTi has led the or
chestra at Delmonico's, and among the
thousands who have admired his music
only a few of his closest friends knew
his true history. He did not care to
have it known. for he ch1fed under the
dreary task of earning his living as a
musician, but was too proud to com

in Rome, who died three months ago.
leaving a large estate
Imperatori's father owned an estate
near Lake Maggiore, and was mod
erately wealthy. When a boy Giacomo
was sent to Rome to study sculpture,
but his tastes inclined to music and he
devoted his attention to it. In 1897, his
father died and his fortune was swept
away. For a time Imperatori played
in Rome and other Italian cities, and
then came to New York, where he read
lily obtained places in some of the best
theaters. Two years ago he became
the leader of the orchestra at Delmon-
ico's. Shortly after arriving in New
York Imperatori met q. Miss Taylor, to
whom he became engaged, and they
were married six months after their
first meeting.

by party with whom the William r.

whatever, and they were in no way re-

by the men who inspired the adverse
articles. This company has had no
quarrels with its representatives. or GUS
toners, as they are satisfied with the
treatment received at the hands of the
company and strongly resent all impli-
cations that they are engaged in
fraudulent or illegitimate business. The
publishers who have been imposed upon
should lose no time in setting their
readers right in the matter, they no
doubt will do when they discover on
which side the fraud has been practiced.
That the VIM. r. White Co. is en-
gagged in legitimate business, and
manufactures an article of great value
to the farmer was fully demonstrated
to representatives of the Journal and
several other western papers at the
offices and factory of the company, at
Bloomington, ILL.,, on last Wednesday.
The offices and factory were visited
by these newspaper men and every ia
cility in regard to the manufacture and
the plan of conducting the business
was laid before these visitors, that they
might obtain a full knowledge of every
detail of the same. No attempt was
made to conceal anything regarding
the company's method of doing bust
ness. Bankers, merchants and profess
sional men were interviewed to ascer-
tain the standing of the company, and
the individual officers of the same, with
q highly satisfactory result. Every one
so interviewed spoke of the high esteem
in which Mr.. White was held in Bloom

ing terms on his marvellous success in
manufacturing SO valuable and useful

STILL AFTER 4 PARDON.
Effort Being Made to Reopen Willie
Sell Case.

It looks as though another attempt is
to be made to secure pardon for Willie
Sell, the boy murderer of Neosho coun-
ty, who is in the penitentiary under SEN
tence of death for killing several MEM
bers of his family a few years ago. The
following notice appears in the Ottawa
Republic:
AN persons DESTROYS of contributing
to the fund being raised to defray the
expense of printing a review of the Will
lie Sell case may hand their donations
to Mrs. G. w. Goodin.''
State Auditor Wells and his assistant,
J. M Nation, say the sentiment against
Willie Sell in Neosho county is very
strong, and he will not get pardon
while the present generation in that
county remains except over a strong
protest A movement was started some
time ago to ask Governor Bailey for a
pardon for Sell, but nothing ever came
of it after the applications in the Dobbs
New and Asbel cases were turned

THE practice of burning litter and
rubbish in the alleys and at the rear

A rigid and thorough system of in
spection and examination of all busi-

throughout the city will be main
tanned. and details are made of Off

made at frequent intervals. and it is
hoped that the business men and citi-

every safeguard possible.
