Bird Inspired Music,

One Of the most pathetic scenes re-
memberrd from the experiences of M
unhappy genius Is given, among other
facts. about Beethoven III The Life of
Sir Herbert Stanley Oakeley." The
great composer delighted In the out
door world. lie loved Il tree, he once
declared. with pardonable exaggcra-
ton, "bettcr than II man."
After he had become stone deaf he
visited the valley OF IIcillgenstadt, near
Vienna, where lie had stayed in other
and happier days.
Here" he said to the friend who nc
companicd him. II composed my PAS
torni Symphony and here tic birds
composed with me- Can You hear II
yellow hanlmer!'
No" wrote his friend on the CONVEX
sation slate. and In the symphony I
only remember the nightingale, quail
nnd cuck 30"
lie believed certain phrases to have
been meant for direct imitation Of
certain birds. but Becthovcn's method
was more poetic one. The birds had
inspired him; they had composed" with
him. But they had done 1t by contrib
utins unconscIously to the Joyous har-
mony Of the scene.
Beethoven In answer 10 his friends
suggestion took the slate and wrote
upon 1t passage for the flute In the
Brook Scene" That was what the
yellow hammer had Inspired him to do.

that much money refunded to tl:cm

not be overlooked, however, thar tic
admirable example set by NcwpCr.
News Is due largely to the fact that
the city Democratic committee had a
surplus on hand from the recent Dri-
mary for city Offices, and ii WAS agreed
that this surplus should be used to pay
the city's share of the cost OF The
State primary. What Newport News
would have done had there been no

EXPENSE OF THE PRIMARIES.

The Norfolk Landmark continues it's
crusade in behalf of primaries in
which the expenses shall be paid out
nf the State treasury. In Il recent
review Of some Of the objections OF.
fcrcd our Norfolk contemporary said :.
One of our contemporaries sug.
gcsts that il would not lie fair to
make primary law applying to only
one party. To be sure, it would not !;
and no advocate of the proposition al.
vOcatcs such unfnirncss. The law
should apply to the two leading par.
ties of the State. AT least.
Another contemporary fears that 10
remove all the financial difficulties
would tempt Il horde or candidates in.
To the field. We reply that there is
no reason to expect any more candi-
dates than enter at general elections;
and even if more did enter. what OF
1t? The expense to the public would
not be increased
THE State Of Minnesota has for
several years had State primary
law of the kind mentioned and it
beems TO be giving decided satisfac-
ilon. If Minnesota, why not Virginia?
The State Democratic committee.
IN our opinion, was entirely right in
not leaving the primary TO chance.
II 1t had assigned to the local party
authorities The function Of collecting
the funds by canvass. one.third Of the
counties IN the State might have been
uhrSpreScntcd III tho voting. There
was nothing for the State committee
to do but 10 make sure that a general
primary would be held. and the only
way Of making sure was TO assess the
candidates"
Commenting upon the example set
by the Newport News comuit;ce in
reference 10 bearing the cost Of III.
State primary, the Landmark has this
TO say:
The Democrats Of the city of New
port Ncwg have shown thar any con.
ninnity which does not wish 10 ,akc

SOMNAMBULIST
TAKES A FALL
Special Dispatch to The call.

REDDING, April 22.-Thomas Cal
lac, miner, employed at the After
thought mine. walked out of an open
doorway on the second floor of the
Cooney lodging house at Ingot while
asleep this morning and awoke when
he struck the ground, a distance of
thirty feet. Callac struck on his feet,
and, strange to say, the only INJURY he
sustained was a slight bruise on the
big toe of his left foot
Callac slept soundly and some
where along about midnight arose
from his bed and walked to the open
door The building is just being fin
ished and a ladder is used as a tenn
porary stairway. This particular
night. however, the ladder was not in
place and Callac walked straight ahead
into space. He fell to the ground and
awoke. He was considerably surprised
TO find himself out of bed and more
so when he found he was out of the
building. He did not know what had
happened. He only knew that every
muscle in his body was stiff. Callac
then went back into the house and
went to bed again after locking the
door so that he would not be able to
walk out again.

UNCOVER BONES
OF A MASTODON

ETNA. April 22-The crumbling
bones of 'mastodon have been uncoy-
cred in mine near Galatians, Sisxi-
you County The head bones, q thigh
bone, part of the backbone and some
ribs have been uncovered, but the rest
is still buried under eighteen feet of
soil. The work of excavation is pro-
ceeding cautiously, as the skeleton is
very badly rotted. The soil about the
bones is a black muck. No tusks have
been found. The presence Of another
skeleton, or the skull of 1t at least, has
been discovered in such position as
TO convince the miners that the mas
todon was devouring this second beast
when it met it's own fate.

MII.All SUICIDE
TRAGIC AFT AIR

MILAN, April 22.-The suicide of
beautiful Marchioness Maria Palla-
vicfni, Viscountess of Trent, Austria,
yesterday at the famous cathedral dur
ing the Good Friday services cast
gloom over the city.
The Marchioness was renowned
throughout Italy for her great beauty.
She was not yet thirty years of age.
Domestic unhappiness following sepa-
ration from her husband is supposed
to have been the cause of her suicide.
The Good Friday services in the
Duomo are renowned throughout the
world, and are second only to those
of Rome. The procession of the sta
tions of the cross had ended and thou
sands In the cathedral knelt in silence
about the crucifix. There was no sound
throughout the great church except
that made by the breathing of the con-
gregation. AT this moment of most In
tense concentration the shot was heard
near the tomb of St Charles Borromeo
in front of the altar. The tense silence
was shattered. Thousands of women
rose to their feet panic stricken by the
scream which followed the shot. Only
those clustered near the tomb could
realize what had happened. On the
beautiful Driedieu on which she had
been kneeling at prayer lay the March
ioness, blood streaming from the
wound in her forehead, while the
women near her screamed and fran
tically sought to get away from the
spot.
From the altar priest forced his
way to her side and remained kneel-
ing, administering the last rites of the
church. Other church officials hurried
about the cathedral urging the throng
D. l L,
cleared, SO that it could be consecrated
anew.
