Immediately upon its receipt at the

the following note to Judge Carba jal :

by General Diaz and the members of

for while General Dlaz Is In power,

the promises of no account. With that
idea and an order to obtain peace in
Mexico asked him to make
public the intention which he had
manifested privately of resigning from

not feel Inundated or have any pre-
text to deny such reports. | proposed

Though determined to pursue their
demands to the last ditch, the rebel
leaders tonight plainly showed their
disappointment at the outcome of the
days events. They had thought that
Dlaz would be forthe ,ming. They were
under the impression that the govern

HUGGED THE SKELETON.
And Then Chopin Composed His Fa-
nous Funeral March.

And Then Chopin Composed His "a
nous Funeral March.
A picturesque account Of the in
Epiration sought by Chopin for the
composition Of his famous funeral
march, afterward inserted in his
piano sonata in B fiat minor, is told
by the venerable painter, M. Ziem,
in the Annales.
M. Ziem, who is now aged ninety,
relates that when little more than
boy, after a dinner party in a
friends studio, he had the idea, in
a fit of high spirits, to bring from
a cupboard skeleton. The Prince
de Polignac, who was of the party,
insisted on placing the skeleton on
a music stool and guiding the bones
of the fingers over the keys of the
piano. This was in the romantic
thirties, and the SAVIOR of the exploit
was much appreciated.
Not long after Chopin called on
NJ. Ziem to seek respite after an APP
palling night passed in a struggle
with ghosts that had stroked him,
twined round him and sought to
entice him to the underworld. The
recital of his Nightmares recalled to
NJ. Ziem the piano performance by
the skeleton and the Prince de Po-
ignac.
Chopin shuddered; then he asked,
"Have you a skeleton?" M. -Ziem
had not, but promised to obtain one
that very evening.
"Then," he goes on, "what had
been only frolic became some
thing grand, agonizing, terrible.
Pale, his eyes burning with fever,
Chopin wrapped himself in long
winding sheet and as he sat at the
piano held against his bosom the
skeleton, the specter of his sleep
less nights.
'In the lugubrious silence the
notes streamed from the piano,
broadly, slowly, Overwhelmingly
an unimagined music-the funeral
march, It was created there before
our eyes, and it dragged our souls
into its unholy rhythm.
"Then the strains died down.
We rushed toward Chopin. He had
put forth SO prodigious an effort
that we thought he had tainted in
his winding sheet"

The competitive field is soon to lose
@. NJ. Daniels, the champion swimmer
of the New York Athletic club. and
this time 1t is no idle rumor. The
great swimmer himself vouchsafed the
information recently, and he added
that he would not be member of the
American Olympic team in 1912. The
news comes as a sad blow, for IL ever
an athlete was qualified to represent
his country and to hold its honor In an
international contest Daniels is the
man.
Possessed of sprinting speed the like
OF which the world has never known,
able always to do a little better than
his best when the occasion required
and blessed with nerve and grit, he
has been the ideal of the successful
competitor and one upon whom one
could always rely. His loss will be ir-
reparable, for, though other and young
er men are fast developing, II will be
hard, II not impossible, to find another
swimmer able to give his wash to all
Corners at any distance from fifty
yards to one mile.
