Beethoyen and aAdelaide.n

Beethoven in his maturity would
have been glad If he could have de-
stroyed some of his early works, among
them the septet and the song "Ade-
laide," the great popularity of both Of
which annoyed him because he had
written so much better things for
which he would have preferred that
popularity. 1t now seems that he was
not pleased with Adelaide" at the
time when he composed 1t. Richard
Batka has found an anecdote indicat-
ing that this was the case in the men,
oris of Beethoven's friend Pixis, who
died in 1874. A man named Barth,
who had a beautiful tenor voice, one
morning called on Beethoven. He
found him in bad humor, on the point
the moment the visitor entered Of tear
ing up a manuscript. Barth asked him
what was the matter, and Beethoven
answered, ooh, I wanted to write a
song, and 1 succeeded in finishing it,
but now don't like it and want to de-
stroy it." LET me look at it." ex-
claimed the tenor. He sat down at the
piano and sang it at sight so effective
" that the composers face beamed
with joy. A fortnight later this song
it was "Adeiaide''-was being sung all
over Vienna.

M'CREA LOSES A
PRINCELY PENSION
Re|inq.:Ishss Twenty to Thirty
ThousandYe Yearly by Resigning.

Philadelphia, Dec. 5.-By resigning
as president of the Pennsylvania rail-
road five years before the age limit at
which employees and officials of the
railroad company are pensioned at
one-half the pay they were receiving
at the time of their retirement, James
McCrea, whose resignation as presi-
dent takes effect on Jan. 1, voluntarily
relinquishes thousands of dollars.
His salary has been variously est1-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year. If he had remained in the Penn
sylvania railroad service at a salary
of $4,000 a year his pension after re-
tirement in five years would have
been about $4,000 annually.
The method of the Pennsylvania
railroad in pensioning is to give an
employee or official at the age OF sew
enty years. Then the pensioner for
the remainder of his life receives a
pension of 1 per cent of his average
salary for the past ten years for each
year the employee or official was in the
service of the company.
President McCrea entered the SER
vice of the railroad in 1865. If he had
remained as head of the company five
years longer he would have been in
the company's service fifty-three years.
Thus he would have been retired in
1918 on a pension of SO per cent of
his average salary for the past ten
years.
The company also provides that an
employee or official may be pensioned
between the ages of sixty-6ve or sew
enty if a board of physicians passes
on his health and announces that he is
physically unfit to perform any longer
the duties Of his Office.

No Gentlemen Crooks,

DR.. Bertillon, the French expert on
criminal mensuration, has discredited
one Of the pet ideas Of the novelists and
playwrights. The gentleman criminal,
he says, does not exist in real life;
Arsene Lupin and Raffles are inven-
lions and nothing more. No matter
how extensively they may dress or
live there is always something which
betrays the professional crooks to the
trained observer. Crooks, he says, are
mostly specialists. And not only do
they find it impossible to pass as gem
tlemen, but gentlemen for the most
part would find it exceedingly diff
cult to make living as crooks. So
it seems that even if gentleman has
all the will in the world to be crook,
or a crook to be gentleman. early
training will prove stronger than desire
and the two things cannot be made to
mix.-New York Sun.

Historical Accuracy,

Perish the thought that the novelist
or playwright should be tied down
to historical accuracy! Lady Dorothy
Neville quotes an amusing correspond
ence between Bulwer Lytton and her
brother:
My Dear WaipoIe-Here I am at Bath
bored to death. I am thinking of writ
ing a play about your great ancestor, Sir
Robert. Had he not sister Lucy. and
did she not marry a Jacobite?
My brother promptly replied:
My Dear Lytton-I care little for my
family and still less for Sir Robert. but
know that he never had a sister Lucy, so
she could not have married a Jacobite.
However, this mattered little to Lord
Lytton, for his answer ran:
My Dear Walpole-You are too late! Sir
Robert had a sister Lucy, and she did
marry a Jacobite.
So, In defiance of history, the play
"Walpole" came to be written.

RECALL OF DECISIONS
URGED IN SENATE
Senator Bristow Would Let
People Decide.

Washington, Dec. 5. - Resolutions
providing for the amendment of the
federal constitution to permit the int-
tiative and the recall of judicial de-
cisions were introduced in the senate
by Senator Bristow, who. is Progress
sive.
Senator Bristow's first resolution
would permit the president to submit
to popular vote at a congressional
election any measure he has recon-
mended to congress and upon which
no action has been taken for six
months.
The second would provide that iii
the supreme court shall decide a law
enacted by congress is in violation OF
the constitution of the United States,
the congress at a regular session held
after such decision may submit the
act to the electors at regular con.
gressional election"
Such a recall of decisions" as ap-
piled to decisions of state supreme
courts, was advocated throughout the
recent campaign by Colonel Roose-
welt.
Under each of the Bristow amend
ments it is proposed that the ques.
lions submitted to the people must
have a majority of the popular vote in
q majority of the states, as well as in
a majority of the congressional dis
tricts of the nation.
In explanation Senator Bristow de-
clared the amendment affecting the
president would enable him to appeal
from a dilatory or adverse congress
to the people, and that a president
could not, as an excuse for signing an
undesirable measure, say that it was
the best he could get from an un.
friendly congress.
Senator Bristow, in support of his
amendment affecting decisions of the
supreme court, declared that it would
"give to the people an opportunity to
state whether or not they desire the
law, enacted by congress and approx
ed by the president, to stand as the
last expression Of their will and judg-
ment."
The resolutions were referred to
the judiciary committee.

ARcHBALDWASIN
ON CULM DEAL
Witness Tells How He Helped
to Obtain Option
SHOWS ANGER At QUESTIONS
Edward J. Williams Was Forced to
Admit That Judge Was to Get Halt
Of the Profits.

Washington, Dec. 5. - Admissions
that Judge Robert w. Archibald, OF
the court of commerce, had been in
terested with him in a deal for the
katy Did culm Dump" near Scran
ton, Pa, and would have profited from
the sale of the property, were drawn
from Edward J. Williams, of Dun
more, Pa, before the senate court OF
impeachment, which is trying the jur
list for alleged misconduct.
Mr.. Williams was the first witness
summoned in the impeachment OF
Judge Archibald. Standing at the
clerks desk, and facing Judge Arch
bald. who had been his friend, he said
for thirty years, the aged Welshman
became a silent witness for part of the
time to the duel between the house
managers and Judge Archbald's law
yers, as to what evidence and what
testimony should be admitted before
the court.
Chief interest centered about the
first article Of the charges, which al
legged that Judge Archibald had exerted
influence upon officers of the Erie
railroad, which then had lighterage
case pending in his court, to compel
them to give an option to Williams
upon its portion of the Katy Did re
fuse coal heaps, owned through its
Subsidiary company, the Hillside Goa
and Iron company.
Mr.. Williams declared that Judge
Archibald had nothing to do with get
ting the option, further than to act as
his friend and recommend him to the
officers of the Hillside company. Later
however, under the questions of Rep
resentative Webb, of North Carolina
he said Judge Archibald would have
received half of the profits realized
from the sale of the property.
what did Judge Archibald do for
which he was to receive one-half OF
the profits from the coal Dump" de
mAnded Representative Webb.
1T was none of anybody's business
II I wished to give it to him." sharply
retorted Williams.
To this he later added that the in.
terest Of Judge Archibald from what
he did for me" and what it tas partly
through his influence that got the
options"
The deal, as outlined by Mr.. Will
uams, began when he went to Judge
Archibald and asked his assistance in
getting an option from the Hillside
company. Judge Archibald, he said,
gave him letter to w. A. May, super
intendent of the Hillside company, but
Cautain May declined to give him an
option ON the dump.
II went back and told Judge Arch
bald I didn't get it, and he said he
would see about it." said Williams.

"MOVIES" HURT SALOONS

plain of Decreased Trade.


Pottsville, Pa, Dec. 5.-All through
Schuylkill county liquor interests are
complaining that the 125 moving pic:
ture shows practically have ruined the
former retail or tavern business, be
cause men take their families to these
nickel shows and no longer have the
time to spend in barrooms.
An index to this condition of affairs
Is shown by the fact that more than
800 applications for liquor licenses are
still unified with the clerk of the
courts, Notwithstanding the fact that
only twelve days remain in which fl
ing can be done in time for the annual
license court. About 1900 applications
were filed at this time year ago.
