FACES TRAMP PROBLEM.
Provo City Marshal Believes the Box
Car Tourists Should Be Com
pelled to Work on Streets.

Provo. March City Marshal Williams
has entertained $50 tramps during the
month of January and February. The cost
for meals has been S1Si24 and this plan
is considered cheaper than to let them
roam about town and commit depreciation.
and this method of taking care of the
tramps is considered partially responsible
for the fact that not 500 worth of goods
has been reported stolen in Provo for the
past fourteen months. Mr.. Williams is.
however. of the opinion that an improve
nlent would be made by working the
trampS and that the streets could have
been greatly improved this winter under
such an arran cement, as many of the
tramps are anxious to remain for some
time and rest up after their trip from
Colorado, where most Of them have come
from.

New York. March 5.-TTam service
between this city and Washington was
still badly tied up today. Trains were
few and far between, running generally
from five to six hours behind their
schedule.
Little parties of those who went from
this city to attend the Inauguration,
struggled in with stories of hardships.
Traffic out of Washington. they report
ed, was seriously muddled and there
was little hope of relief for at least
twenty-four hours.
Passengers on one belated train told
of making forty miles in ten hours
During the first three hours only seven
miles were covered. each run of 100
yards or so being followed by d pro-

hour ride in Arab costume. He arrived in
Port Said absolutely penniless, but mace
enough at private concert TO take him
to Paris. where in the depths of want

exceedingly, he desperately set to work
on the words and music of "Pagliacci,'
which was finished in five months.
Il Pagliacci" is based upon a similar
incident which happened I'm his own life
when he was a child and which made
deep impression upon him. Among his
later successful operas are la Tosca.

present very popular in Europe Leor-

The Humble Librettist.

In the history Of opera there are
many curious anomalies. but perhaps
the stangest Is the role played by the
librettist. For the most part obscure
and unimportant and generally unre-
membered. his ranks have neverthe-
less been recruited from the ablest and
most brilliant men of letters. Among
those who have undertaken the part
are such unlikely names as Voltaire.
Goethe. Wieland. Addison and Field
ing. while others of considerable poet
ic talent. as. for example. Metastasio.
Calzabigi Rinuccini. Boito and Cop
pee. have tried their hand at libretto
writing with assurance. giving to it
their best efforts. And yet the sue
cessful librettists are few-the merest
handful out Of a harvest of three CEN
turtles Forum.

Veteran Editor Burned To Death.

Thomas Valentine Cooper, Sr., member
of the House of Representatives, ex-State
Senator, veteran journalist, and long a
power in the Republican Organization Of
Delaware county, Pa, lost his life Sun
day. He was found in room of his
home, in Media, early in the morning,
burned beyond recognition and dead.
His clothing had become ignited from a
cigar, but whether he was burned to death
or had been fatally stricken with paralysis
before the fire started is question which
probably never will be settled.
For many years Mr.. Cooper owned and
edited the Delaware County American, a
weekly newspaper published at Media.
While he took little active part in the
management Of this journal, he made its
editorial columns his mouthpiece. and
through them fought his battles for
various causes.
The deceased was IS years of age.
Born in Ohio, his parents removed to
Pennsylvania when he was but a few
months old.
He was educated in the public schools
of West Chester and Philadelphia and for
time attended the boarding school of
Joshua Hopes. When I6 years of age
he left school and became an apprentice
to Evans & Vernon, of The Wilmington
Republican. There he learned the print
ing trade and'before he was 20 he formed
partnership with DR.. D. A. Vernon and
established e newspaper at Media, his
connection with it having been continuous
since, except while he served in the civil
war. This paper was first called The
Media Advertiser, later The Media Adj
svertiser and America, and in 1859 adopted
its present title.
