PAUL STANLEY DEAD.
He Was the Man Who Wrote ''Ta-Ra-
Ra-BOom-De-Ay.'

Denver, March 17-Paul Stanley,
comedian and composer of the song,
Ia Ra- -Boom-De-Ay," is dead here
after a lingering illness. Stanley, whose
real name is Sonnenburg, had lived here
with his wife since the San Francisco
earthquake. He was reduced to straight
ened circumstances, and his health was
much impaired by the shock. He was
81 years of age.
The fame of Tara -Ra-Boom-De-
Ay' is linked with the fame of Lottie
Collins, who secured her position as one
of the leading and most popular of Lon
don music hall artists about 20 years
ago, when she introduced StanIey's S
song. No song within the memory of
this or the preceding generation has
had such a tremendous vogue as "Ta-
Ra-Ra-B -Boom-De-Ay." The words were
nonsensical and the music of no extra
ordinary merit, but 1t had a swing to it
that caught popular fancy, and was a
particularly easy and spirited number
for a brass band.
'Ta-Ra-Ra- Boom Decay" travelled all
over the world. 1t was sung and played
everywhere. New authors added to it
scores of extra stanzas, nearly every
soubrette in America tried to duplicate
the success of Lottie Collins, and finally
the song got to be a worse chestnut than
AFTER the Ball'' or the more recent

of UNCONVENTIONAL schools established
at an early period of our history
There can be no need for alarm, be-
cause a large body of citizens sees
proper to build, maintain, and foster
parochia1 schools.
'I make no apology for the standard
of education in these schools BY it's
results let the parish school system be
judged.
''The reverend gentleman who volun-
teered the information that the Cath
olic schools would not use the state
books was surely miSinformed. The
opposite is true, as he may learn by
visit to any parish school in the state
Il would remind the other gentleman,
who is quoted as saying that would
cripple the whole system by my pres
ence on the board. that there are six
other very high minded commissioners
who have the confidence of all the peo-
pie, including the 125,000 Catholic popu-
1ation, and that these can be relied on
to guard the system against one i'm
aginary foe.
THE unhealthy and unwarraned
criticisms that have been aroused over
the text book commission are happily
not a reflex of the times nor of the
spirit of true Americanism."

WYCLIFFES FREED.
Acquitted of Murder Charge by a Jury
at Tahlequah.

Tahiequah, Okla. March 17.-Tho-
mas and John Wycliffe, on trial for
the killing of Isaac Gilstrap, a depu-
ty United States marshal. have been
acquitted by a jury here. Gilstrap was
killed in 1906 in a sensational fight
with a band of men supposed to have
been the Wycliffes in Spavinaw hills
The acquittal came after the state
had failed to esta blish clearly the
identity of the marshaPs slayers
Judge Pritchett instructed the jury to
bring in a verdict of not guilty in the
case of Thomas Wycliffe and a motion
to release John Wyc1iffe was sustain
ed.
The WyclifTes accused of numerous
crimes had been hunted for by officers
for half a dozen years. They surren-
dered on the promise of Governor
Haskell that they would be given
fair trial
