BITS ABOUT MUSICIANS.
Caruso, the celebrated italian teno,

Csruso the celebrated italian tenor,
is the son of a Naples engineer.
DR.. Joachim, one of the most IA
nous of viollnists, recently celebrated
his seventy-fourth birthday in Lon
don. He absolutely refuses to write
his memories.
Paganinis violin rests in the old
town hall in Genoa. 1t lies upon satin
in glass case, and has never been
ly by Hubermann.
Leonardo de Vinci not only put the
violin into the hands Of his heroines,
but he himself played upon unique
violin at the extremity of which was
carved horses head.
Nine. Gadski sang the three Brun-
slides in an opera festival recently In
Munich with such effect that Prince
Regent Luitpold bestowed upon her
King Ludwigs Order of Art and Sci
ence.
Sarasate, the great Spanish violinist.
has a mascot in the shape of silver
violin. 1t is his belief that he could
not play in public without this charm,
but he has never dared to put this
superstition to the test.
Tamagno, the great Italian tenor,
who died recently, was noted at one
time for his penuriousness, but when
he returned to Vareso, Italy, he
changed. He built villa which for
artistic beauty had few equals any
, where, and entertained lavishly. He
finally gave the villa to his only laugh
ter as wedding present.
The fact has just been made pub
lie that Dudley Buck, the eminent com
poser of church music, has eNpiated
himself, and will pass the remainder
of his life in Munich. Mr.. Buck sailed
for Europe several weeks ago, but II
was not then disclosed that he Intend
ed to remain abroad. 1t has beer
known that Mr.. Buck was dissatisfied
but 1t seems extraordinary that, at hi
age Che was born in Hartford, Conn
March 10, 1880, he should thus aban
don his native country.

tilted over the face, at the back mass
of saffron and pink roses falling low
over and standing high up from the
hair Another hat of somewhat the
same coloring was a large fiat with
crown of very dull gilt shading to
pink, the brim black beaver, the
trimming black plumes and salmon
pink roses.
There were goodly number OF
white lace hats, and it seemed to be
the fashion to trim these rather sim
ply; perhaps a band of gilt galoon, per-
haps a roll of mink and single pink
rose. There were beautiful subdued
reds and prunes; perhaps the hat
would be a beaver of a warm gray with
a suspicion of rose color about it, and
the trimming a wreath of dullest red
roses and velvet of the exact shade as
the flowers. One longish turban, not
the frail finery of the others described,
was of the shaggiest blue beaver, like
very deep fur, a draped turban and the
only trimming quilted ruche of gobe-
lin-blue flowered, green CLEANS in the
gobelin blue. 1t would be just the sort
of hat to choose if one required sim
gle hat to do duty for all occasions;
there was style to it and the sort of
ooloring affected just at the present,
subdued tints and yet by no manner of
means a colorless effect. We would
bear witness that the finery in general
seemed to us this year to have more
artistic meaning than usual; 1t was
not mere display of lot of money
expended, the coloring as a whole was
beautiful.
OF the furs. perhaps ermine, or some
thing ably initiating ermine, was most
noticeable. There was much wearing
Of white feathery neck-pieces too, and
these were largely the same shape as
the furs, large fiat shoulder pieces as
we'll rs ruffs. Color was introduced
sometimes, there would be a pink OF
blue band down the middle of ths
feather piece. Baby blue and baby
pink seemed well restored to favor
and as rule were becoming. Old-rose
colored hats looked most attractive
when the wearers had about her throa
pillows of white ostrich feathers, tn
latter softening the deep color of thu
headgear. Really, the horse show wa
like a flower show, one walked in ;

actions, he cannot altogether disre-
gard the still, small voice which is al
ways with him and which sometimes
he annot refuse to hear. Perhaps the
voice may be very faint at first, but if

Washington, English Royalists and the
original Washington immigrants.
The Mason family was originally of
Warwaickshire and there are many
Mason memorials in the Church of the
Holy Trinity at Stratford-on-Avon.
Colonel George Mason, the first, was,
however, not a Warwaickshire man,
but was born in Staffordshire. One of
his fellow Royalist refugees to Amer
ica was Gerard Fowke, of Gunston, a
hamlet in Staffordshire. The old Eng
lish Gunston Hall was standing a few
years ago. and was owned by the Gift
fords, descendants of the same Giffords
who were Royalists with Fowke and
Mason, and who owned Boscobel, near
Gunston, where Charles ii. lay in con-
cealment after the battle of Worcester.
The commonwealth commander at
Worcester was General Fairfax, and il
was a strange fate that made descen-
ant of this man a neighbor to the Wash
ingtons of Mount Vernon and the
Masons of Gunston Hall. Belvoir, the
Fairfax estate, lay Immediately be-
tween Gunston and Mount Vernon
The first American Mason and
Fowke settled in the northern neck OF
Virginia, but Fowke later removed to
Maryland. George Mason, the second,
married Mary Fowke, daughter of Ger
ard Fowke, and they built home in
Maryland, which they called Gunston
Hall, in memory of the English Guns
ton. These people were grandparents
of e Jorge Mason, the fourth, or George
Mason, one of the republics founders.
In 1850 this man married Anne Ellbeck
Of Mattawoman, Maryland, and soon
after his marriage began the erection
Of Gunston Hall, Virginia, which he
named after his grandparents place in
Maryland and the ancestral home Of
the Fowkes in Staffordshire.
Mason was one Of the vestrymen of
Pohick Church. four miles from Guns
ton. Washington and William Fairfax
were also vestrymen there.

No, neither he nor any one else, at

The incredible, the unbelievable, has

of Japan?
1t is not in battle ships or siege guns
not in torpedo boats or field artillery
not in arms or armor-not in muni-

President Speaks to the Followers

President Roosevelt's recent tour
through the South was one continuous
ovation from the people OF Dixie. In
fact his visit has been heralded as be-
ing as triumphant as the return of
any Roman emperor. Dixie was cap
ured by the Rough Rider President.
At Richmond, the old Confederate
Capital, the greeting extended to him
was unusually cordial. After much
parading and speech-making, the Pres
ldent was taken for a drive through
the residence section. In the center of
this section is the great equestrian
statue of General Robert Il. Lee. At
this point occurred a scene of the Pres
ident's visit which will probably be
remembered when all others have
faded into oblivion.
Surrounding the Lee monument is
an iron fence, inclosing a circle of
lawn. The crowd was thlcklv grouped
around this circle. Inside, standing
upon the base of the monument and
wandering about upon the lawn were

eyes and gazing toward the coming
of the great, the powerful. the world

1t was such a sight as this which
greeted the President when his car

is a plain and distinct result of their
mode of life.
The Japanese people are strong be-
cause they live as the human animal
must live to be mentally and physi-
cally strong-neXt to nature.
They breathe the fresh air.
They eat plain food.
They neither starve nor GS@Se.
They are mentally and physically
active.
They are an "out of door" people.
They Understand the laws Of health,
and obey them.
Their children draw their strength
from the bosom of mother earth.
And above and beyond all, they are
a nation of homes and home owners.
Each family is in a home and each
home is in garden where health and
strength are gained by the labor of
cultivating that garden for a living,
And in these garden homes the peo-
pie of Japan have far more of real
pleasure and happiness and the genu-
inc enjOyments of life than the aver
