SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES
ARE To Be DISCUSSED

One of the interesting consequences OF
the abandonment of this years meeting
OF the National Educa tional association
at San Francisco, on account of the great
disaster there, will apparently be the en-
phasizing of the subject of corporation of
schools and Libraries at the American
Library association meeting at Nara
gansett Pier.
At the sessions on Monday. July 2 the
president OF the National Educational as
ISOLATION, DR.. Schaefer, will be present,
and the subject will be thoroughly dis
cussed. The present president OF the
teachers organization, Or. Nathan c.
Shaeffer, has been at the head OF the
public school system Of Pennsylvania
since 1898. and has been active in educa-
tional work throughout the country: and
Rhode Island teachers who are able TO
be present at Narragansett Pier on the
date mentioned will find the proceedings
OF much interest to them.

An examination OF the pockets OF the
dead man showed that they contained $3s
in money and some bread and cheese, but
there was nothing in them that could
give clue as to his identity.
This fact created a doubt that the man
was Morales. but when the governor OF
Madrid arrived with Senior Cuesta the
Identification was immediate and positive.
The body was then brought TO Madrid.

TUNNEL RIGHTS
MAY COST ROAD
FULLY S10O,O0O

II the $4,000 paid 10 William Gainmell
for a distance Of 225 feet is taken as. an
average price Of tunnel easements paid
for by the Consolidated railroad II is
easy TO estimate the total amount TO be
turned over 10 those who have property
on the tunnel location.
The length OF the tunnel. according to
the plan, is 1850 feet. and at s22 a foot
the easement will cost the company
s106.9
This amount may be cut down 10000
or sl2 900. but II is probable that the total
payments will come somewhere near the
800. 900 mark.

AS young man Geo. Fred Handel
IS described as an aristocrat by nature
If not by birth, standing s feet inch
in height and weighing 1870 pounds,
handsome, gracious, talented, popular
IN society and favorite at court.
He was born in Halle, in Saxony,
Feb. %, 1885. His musical education
was begun when he was 8 years
old, At - his compositions were
nlaved in Berlin. At Is he be-
came a member of the orchestra at
Hamburg. At q he visited Italy re-
m aiming there for about three years
After brief stay in Germany he
lourneyed to England to spend short
leave of absence. But there he found
such appreciation and such oppor-
tunities that England became his
home. Gladstone, corrected Tor
SD eaking of Handel as an Englishman
refused to change the statement, de-
2laring Handel to belong alone to
England, for there his battles were
fought and his victories won.
At the age of IS, in London, Handel
died wealty bachelor and was buried
IN Westminster Abbey. Above his
grave towers his marble statute
.tserene and praised, silently accept
ing the homage of the swift passing
generations, while in the cathedral is
heard the solemn harmonies OF his
deathless music"
HandePs life before he went to
England may be briefly sketched.
The elder Handel was stern old man,
SO wears of age when his illustrious
son was born. He had nothing but
contempt for musicians and determln-
ed to educate the boy for the law. But
the bow too had will of his own.
With the help of an indulgant aunt,
an old spinnet was Struggled into the
garrett of the home and there the
child played and improvised. He
ask ed permission to accompany MS
father, about to start out on visit to
4he court Of the reigniny duke, and
was refused. When the carriage had
proceeded for some distance on the
way, the year old boy was discover
ed clinging to it's rear. He was taken
in, roundly scolded, but allowed to
90 on. Arriving at the palace as OPP
portunity offered, he stole into the
chapel and played upon the organ
The duke, overh hearing him, remon-
strated with the father upon his atti-
tude toward the child's education.
Such a remonstance could hardly be
disregarded and so Handel began to
st udy under the organist of the Halle
cathedral. After the death Of his
father he went to the musical center,
Hamburg and entered the orchestra
of the opera house, playing second
violin in order to earn a living Tor
himself and his mother. When the
leader suddenly absented himself,
Handel rose and conducted the Or
chestra with all the vigor and skill OF
an experienced leader. At a per-
formance of Cleopatra he even refus-
ed to allow his friend Mathison, it's
composer, to conduct his own opera.
A duel followed in which Handeps
life was saved only by the breaking
of his antagonists sword on large
button of his coat. At Hamburg he
wrote his first operas "Almira" and
"'Nero."
Hearing of vacancy as organist
at Liebeck he went as an applicant.
Upon learning the successful man
would be expected to marry the
daughter of the former organlst, a
lady of uncertain age and Indifferent
charms, he declared himself to be I'M
