To-day is the anniversary of the anniversary of the death, in 1787, of Christopher willibald Gluck, whose bi-centenary will be widely celebrated next year. The immortal regenera- tor of modern opera was born at Wei denwang in the upper Palatinate, near the Bohemian boundary, on July 2, 1714. Of his many operas, those now best known are ''Iphigenie'' and ''Or- pheus and Eurydice.'' His father was a hunter and forester, and treated his sons with the utmost severity, forcing them to walk miles through the snow in their bare feet ''to make them tough Christopher was educated in the gymnasiums of Bohemia and in a Jesuit school, and later attended the university at Prague. During his college days he often walked through the country, singing and playing, and was paid in eggs and bread. Even tuaIIy he gained the patronage of powerful princes, and became one of the greatest composers of the period.

BIRTHDAY
 OF STANDARD TIME.

Father Times young offspring, Standard Time, was born thirty years ago to-day, Nov. IS, 1883, when the new system for measuring time was adopted throughout the United States and Canada Charles F. Dowd, Of Saratoga Springs, N. Y, was the fath- CT of standard time, having been the first to suggest the principles on which the system is based. Dowd's scheme, when put into effect, estab- nshed six standard meridians for the United States and Canada, the 6Oth, the 18th, the eOth, the 1O5th the 120th and the 135th, each being the center of a region fifteen degrees wide within which the time conforms to

 The nominal opposition of the ad- ministration at shfngton to the Huerta government Of Mexico is that the man is responsible for the brutal shooting down of Madero. There are those who think Madero was killed in revenge by friends of those he had that this martyr, when he was ap- preached by enissar1es (of high rank to see if peaceful relations could not be established between the warning factions, shot both men dead with his revolver. Others think, and are not surprised at thinking, that he was as- saesinated by consent or connivance of Huerta This is the Mexican fash ion.

ZELAYA CHARGED
WITH Staying
Z AMERICANS
To Answer for Ordering Execution
of Groce and Cannon When
Extradited to Nicaragua.

MOBILE, ALA, Nov. 2s.-That the
Japanese question and the machina-
tions of the now exiled Zelaya, once
dictator of Nicaragua, were respon-
sible for the staying Of Lee Cannon
add Roy Groce. Is the opinion of
Major Migul Alvarez, Consul for Mic
aragua at Mobile. He believes that
Zelaya will be brought to answer for
the execution Of these two Americans
when taken back to Nicaragua.
Alvarez says Zelaya, in his chagrin
and rage at the United States balk-
ing his scheme TO sell to Japan
route for a canal through Nicaragua,
executed Groce and Cannon as Amer
leans in retaliation, hoping to pro-
woke the United States Government.
Senior Alvarez says the men who
composed the alleged "courtmartiaI'
trial held at Ell Castillo. were order
ed by Zelaya to vote for death for
the two Americans.
A statement was made public aft
erwards at Bluefelds by an officer
named Morales, who was a member
OF that tribunal, that but for the or
der the two men would merely have
been held as prisoners

Sleep and altitude.

Some Swiss doctors maintain that
the amount Of sleep should be regu-
lated by altitude. Too much sleep,
they say, is as harmful as too much
food or drink. In low lying districts
seven hours slumber may be enjoyed
with impunity, but up in the noun
tains five hours is enough. These sleep
specialists also ban the practice of
remaining in bed in the morning, half
awake. and insist on the necessity of
rising as soon as sleep fails. AS q re-
suit of their pronouncements endeay-
ors have been made to form sleeping
societies in Switzerland for the pur-
pose of regulating the amount OF sleep
to be taken in the different dist, lets.
