A STATEMENT BY A. S. POPE.
Assistant General Manager oi inc
Great Western system In England
Purpose OF Journey.

New York. Nov SO.--A 5 Pope, as
sistant general manager Of the Great
Western Railway of England, has just
finished a three months tour OF rail-
road Inspection In the United states
and Canada IN the interests Ut MS
company. He sails for England to-
morrow on the liner Caronia. In an
interview Mr.. Pope said
THE principal object Of my visit
10 America was 90 get the Atlantic
steamships TO land their mails al
our new port On the coast of Penn
brokeshire II Is ESQ miles from Lon
don and the tourney Is made IN four
and a half hours. The Cunard line
with lis new steamships can no long
on use Queenstown as 4 port OF call Tor
the mails. When I came out on the
Lucania / waited there for four hours
and missed landing in New York on
Friday night
81 have sean the postmaster general
here and IN Ottawa 10 discuss our
scheme with them. l have been much
impressed with all l have seen. but
the railroad conditions In England are
very different 60 those in this cOun-
ny. In America freight comes before
passengers and with US 1t is the re-
verse. The safety signals in America
could be- very much improved and the
appalling number Of accidents pre-
vented As regards carriages, ] think
that the English people would not
stand the manner in which passengers
are packed into Pullman cars al night,
with us, each person has compart-
ment and u bed The roadbeds In the
east are good but they are bad In the
west and so they are in Canada.
Americans are long-suffering peo-
pie" Mr.. Pope continued, Since |
have been here 10 persons have been
Killed In one wreck and so I'm another.
II made a stir in the papers for one
or two days and then It seemed to
be forgotten Under the English sys-
tenn two trains are never allowed to

4 contemporary account says: AT
the first performance Of La Traviata
the tenor, GraZiani, took cold ana sang
his part throughout in Il hoarse and al
most inaudiblc voice. NJ. Narcsi, the
baritone, having what we would call a
secondary role, took no trouble to bring
out the dramatic Importance of this
short but capital part. 50 that the eff
feet of the celebrated duet between
Yi0lctta and GcrmOnd in the second
act was entirely missed. Nine. Dona-
tell who imperSonatel the delicate
sickly heroine was one of the Stoutest
ladies on the stage or off it, and when
at the beginning of the third act the
doctor declares that consumption has
wasted away the young lady and that
she cannot live more than a few hours
the audience was thrown into Il state
of perfectly uprOaliOus glee, a state
very different from that necessary to
appreciate the tragic action of the last
act No wonder that La Traviata'
made Il fiaSco under these trying cir
cumstanccs. Yet when more adequate
ly performed the opera soon became an
immense fayoritc with audiences of all
nations, and Verdi had no reason to
remember the disasters attending its
first appearance in public.

There is a story current among the
Persians which sets forth the disclos-
ing power Of wisdom, whereby wise
man Uncovers the thing that is hidden.
A certain cadi, or magistrate, was
called upon to decide Il curious case.
A woman was claimed by two men as
Tifc-one Il peasant, the other a mira,
or scribe. Each of the two men swore
TO the truth of his claim The woman
for some reason was silent. The cadi.
unable to get any evidence which cor
roborated the claim of either of the
men, ordered the woman to remain for
time with his own wives. The next
day lie handed her over to the scribe
and ordered the peasant to be severely
bastinadoed-that is, beaten on the
soles of his feet. Then the woman
broke silence for the first time and
praised the just judge. The spectators
also applauded the justice of the cadi,
but failed to see the grounds of his
judgment.
Il told her to milk a cow" said the
cadi, "and she could not. Then, hand
ing her my writing case, l told her to
put it in order. She took the silver
spoon and replenished my inkstand
Only the wife Of man who could
write would have done this correctly;
hence my decision"
