AMERICAN EMBASSIES

There has been a good deal Of dis

fully apparent that no person can rep

nifty and prestige that an American En-
bassador or Minister ought to carry
with him. on the salary which is given
to those representatives of the Republic
in foreign nations. To keep up the dig

ambassador or a Minister is expected to
do, and that the representatives of 9TH

IL would, Of course, be possible for a

APRIL FIRE LOSSES.

The fire losses in this country the
present year continue to be greater
than those of any year heretofore re.
corded. The total for the first four
months OF the year amounts to S97,-
300,350. This compares with SS7,577,-
500 in 1911. and S67 ,222 $50 for the
same four months in 1910 At this
rate, the fire losses of the year would
reach well along towards $780, 900, 900,
and when we consider that the most
Of the fire losses are preventabIe, it is
q clear case that the fire loss in this
country is reproach TO the intelIi
gcnce and carcfulncss Of tho American
people.
There were 259 fires during April, as
we find reported in the New York
Journal Of Commerce and Commercial
Bulletin. that inflicted loss of $4,000
or over in each case. The large fires
during the month which cost a property
loss of 100000 or over amounted TO
eighteen, the most important of which
were as follows:

When we consider that the most OF
the fire loss is preventable, aud should
be prevented, one must be amazed at
the Indifference Of the public to this
loss; and il is a cause for wonder that
the American people arc so apparently
contented with this tremendous loss
which the general public is obliged TO
pay, 1t is quite true that large re.
turns 20 10 the losers by reason Of the
Insurance system, but, after all il is
q loss to the community. for the in
surancc companies pay only as they
collect or have collected, money from
the public for insurance premiums. II
is to be hoped that some day the
American people will rise up and de
mand q better care and cessation of
this prevcntablc fire loss. but so far
there appears little indication of any
such resolve.

Woman Shot to Death.

Mrs. Georgia Smith, a handsome

shot to death in Chattanooga,

the former sitting in the lap of Ech-

that of Mrs. Echols. Mrs. Echols sus-
pected her husband of being intimate
with Mrs. Smith. She watched her
husband and saw him enter Mrs.
Smiths home. There the Jealous wife
followed with a shotgun and found her
husband, with Mrs. Smith in his lap
kissing and hugging him. Mrs. Echols
at once discharged both barrels of the
shotgun into Mrs. Smith, and she
died in the arms of Echols. When ar
rested Mrs. Echols said: "She ruined

JULES MASSENET
DIES IN PARIS
Famous Composer Was a Vic
tim Of Cancer.
HAD been I'LL A LONG TIME

French Musician Was Author of Many
Operas, the Latest Being Don Qui.
ehotte,' and His Works Were Popu
lar In America.
Jules Emile Frederic Massenet, the
famous French composer, died in
Paris, France.
Among Massenet's best known op-
eras are "Thais." Don Caesar de Ba-
zan." "Herodaide," "Manon," and that
exquisite presentation of a phase of
medieval life, lie Jongleur de Notre
Dame which is so deservedly popu-
lar in America.
Massenet had been suffering for a
long time with cancer, but his death
was not expected yet. He was a
grand officer of the Legion of Honor
and a member of the French institute.
Massenet was the youngest mem
Of a family of twenty-one children. He
was born at Moutaud, near st. Ell
enne, May 13, 1912.
His father was one of Napoleon the
First most distinguished officers. On
the lad developing a strong musical
talent he was sent to the Conserva-
toire at the age of fifteen, becoming
in turn the pupil of Laurent, Reber
and Ambrose Thomas. In 1859 Jules
Massenet obtained the first prize for
instrumental playing. Four years
later one of his compositions, a can
tata entitled David Rizio," won him
a Prix de Rome.
After five years spent in Italy and
Germany he made his debut as a COM
poser at the Opera Comique, and his
great successes have all taken place
in his classical theatre, notably lie

NJ. Massenet was an
earnest and painstaking composer. He
always got up at and worked stead
lily till noon. He was one of the first
to recognize Wagner's genius. his fav-
orite opera being "Tannhauser." I'm
like GOunod, Massenet always COM
posed without a piano, and he con-
sidered that his best work was done
in the country and out OF doors. In
1878 he replaced NJ Bazin as profess
sOr at the COnservatoire, and was
elected a member of the French In
stitute in 1881. "HerOdiade." "Thais''
