Composers Dsath.
Bellini was born In Sicily. He died
at Puteaux, near Paris, under some
what strange circumstances, IN 1885.
Baron .Ayme dAQuno wrote to friend:
II rode out to call on him: but. as usu-
nj, the gardener Of his house refused
to let me in. Later on in the day there
was heavy storm, and Mt about
o'clock I once again tried to see him.
As no one answered the bell l pushed
against the gate, and it gave way, so
got into the house. l found Bellini On
bed, abandoned by all. At first
thought that he was asleep. When l
touched his hand. 1t was quite cold. for
he was dead"
| A curious letter Is published. written
by him when his Norma" was Kissed
at the first representations: II have just
returned from the Scala. Would You
believe It? Norma was hissed. I no
longer recognized the friendly Milan
ese. who received with enthusiasm and
delight the III Pirata,' la Straniera.'
In Sonnambula' I have deceived my
self. I have made a great mistake. All
my progenitors have been wrong. All
my expectations have been Illusions.
But. I assure you from my heart. there
are morsels In It that shall be proud
II can ever excel. Did not the Ro-
mans hiss T'Olympiade' Of the divine
PergOlesi? In all theatrical produc-
tions the public Is the supreme judge.
The public will reverse its Judgment.
1t will recognize that Norma Is the
best Of my operas. s."-Argonaut

and 90 easy going court, and seldom
has there been one which was exter-

money like water and thereby produc-
ed prosperity for the time and with
1t popularity for the government.
Hundreds Of millions were lavished
upon Paris, much of 1t being wasted,
yet none the less with the result that
the city really deserved Its title Ia
gone to seed and grown shabby, but In
1880 everything seemed fresh and
new and brilliant and imposing. The
army was rotten to the core. Yet the
emperor's cent gardes were splendid
soldiers to the eye. Society was no
less demoralized. yet its gayety was
exhilarating. These were the days
when 1t was said that good Americans
when they die 60 to Paris. The en-
peror conferred distinction by recog-
mixing any foreigner. The empress set
the fashions for the world. 1t was all
a sham, but 1t was thoroughly mag
nificent In its way. 1t can best be
understood at present by reading 70
las early novels, by recalling some
chapters Of Daudet's lie Nabab" and
hy remembering Jacques Offenbach.
