LIEUT.. ARNoLD's PLUCK.
Incident Related of Former Member of
METROPOLITAN Police Force.

Illustrative of the pluck of Lieutenant
Dick Arnold when he was member of the
police force, an old acquaintance of the de-
ceased today related how Arnold arrested
sngle-handed one of the thugs and "buck-
ers' of his day, big fellow known as
"Cocky.' At that time Arnold was a ser
geant. and the Police Court. presided over
by Judge Smell, was located in an ancient
building on c street between Az and 9th
streets
"Cocky," it appears, had frequently made
his boast that not any three or four Wash
ington policemen could take him in custody,
and his previous record had borne out the
correctness of the boast. On the occasion
in question this bad man from Swami
poodle had entered the American House
at 18th street and Pennsylvania avenue and
running amuck, was trying to clean out
the place. Sergt. Arnold was in the neigh
borhood looking for the patrolman on that
beat, when he was summoned to the Amer
lean House to quell and arrest the fellow.
The latter, powerfully built man, threw
down his def to the tall and slender ser
geant of police, and dared him to attempt
to arrest him. Sergeant Arnold in a mild
tone of voice informed the bad man that
he had better surrender quietly and con-
slider himself under arrest.
Cit out of here: legs exclaimed
''Cocky," fiercely. It'll take a dozen fell
lers like you to arrest me-
Now said Arnold firmly. but still in a
y,
and don't you forget it. If l can't take all
of you to the station house, why then l am
going to take part of you. I'll take your
head. a leg pair of arms.
The men clinched and strenuous fight
followed. Arnold got good grip on
"Cocky's" coat collar and the men rolled
over and over A citizen called upon the
bystanders to help the police sergeant
Never mind helping me-" said Arnold.
This matter is between 'Cocky' and me-"
After a few minutes of fast and furious
fighting Arnolds tall form arose to its full
hight. He still had his prisoner by the
collar, and giving him yank he landed the
limp bad man on his feet, with a broken
nose and other injuries.
Now will you go with me?" asked the
sergeant.
Yes. I'll co. replied Cocky in a mild
tone.
The tall sergeant in one desperate round
had put out of commission one of Wash
irgtons toughest men and police fighters.
Still retaining his grasp on the prisoners
collar, he led the now meek and mild fellow
around on C street to the Police Court and
locked him w.

Mozart as a Dramatic Composer.

From the Fortnightly Review.
Mozart's reputation as a dramatic COM
poser must chiefly rest upon his two great
operas, lie Nozze di Figaro and Don
Giovanni" even though Beethoven hailed
Die Zauberf1ote" as the first flower of true
German opera; while Weber says that Gin
Die Entfuhrung' Mozart has reached the
full maturity of his powers as an artist,
and that his further progress zRas only in
knowledge of the world" But charming
as this romantic opera is. 1t cannot be
compared with his later works as an ex-
ample of his mature dramatic power. 1t
was written when he was about twenty
five; lie Nozze," in 17S6, when he was
thirty; Don Giovanni" the next year;
and four years later he was hastily thrown
INTO his Iaupers grave, the exact locality
of which has never been ascertained In
these last mentioned operas, the subjects
of which were chosen by himself he at
last not only found themes that gave full
scope to his genius. but iibretti that were
good stage plays. 1t is strange how sell
dom composers realize the fact that, how
ever good their music may be- it depends
finally upon the libretto whether an opera
will keep the stage not. Mozart had all
ready suffered at the hands of his poets"
but now he found in the Abbate Da Ponte
sympathetic collaboration and anXiously
superintended the production of the text
himself To Da Ponte the world owes a
debt Of gratitude for the rare excellence of
his work. Goethe, in writing to Schiller,
who hoped that opera might help to de-

Mozart.
