THE HoyHooD or MOZART

Mozart. ole of tho greatest musicians
the world has ever produced. was born
in Saltbury. Ills father being a great
musician himself, was glad that Mozart
showed such love for music as he did
When only three wears old Mozart
would listen to his sister play piece
on the harpischord and then h would
play il without notes.
one day Mr. Mozart came home and
found his little daughter. Maria Ann.
playing by herself. This was very un-
usual. for Mozart was always with his
sister
When the father asked Maria Ann
where her brother was she said, "Oh.
father, l wish YOU could see him lie
has the funniest expression on his
face" Their father went into the par
Tor, and there, sitting 1T the desk. with
a sheet before him. sat Mozart He
had composed piece. and. on looking
NJ II his father saw ii was not an
easy one, especially for :: little boy
only four years old to write.
After this his father took him TO
England, France. Spain. Germany, IIol-
land and Italy on visit. While in
Eng land he had the honor OF being
made by the King knight OF the
Golden Spear"
In Italy there was piece of music
called 'Miscreyc." which was allowed
20 be played Ivy no one outside Of the
chapel IN which II was kept. Mozart
heard IL played and afterwards wrote i,
from memory He would have been
punished had the people not thought it
wonderful that he could write music
like that from memory.
Everywhere Mozart and his sister
went they We're received kindly. Af;er
Il very pleaasnt visit lie returned home
his greatest work being done after this.

to San Diego, Cal, June 24.-Condi-

cents gold to $25. on all civilians
who have that much discoverable

The constitutionalists operating

The king left Belgrade in the aft

the southern part Of Servia, and a
note issued by the official agency in
announcing the kings departure did
not say he had abdicated, but con-

his absence from the capital to Crown

New York, June 24.-Thc second
home coming today Of Colonel Thco-
dore Roosevelt within two months
caused almost as much OF stir
among Progressive party leaders and
friends of the former president as did
his first on May 10 from South
America. Today as last month. Col
onel Roosevelt's opinions on political
questions drew Progressive leaders
to this city and for some time the
Roosevelt home at oyster Bay will be
the scene of many conferences.
From the Imperator came wireless
messages yesterday stating that Col
onel Roosevelt had spent much OF
his time since the big liner sailed
working on the speech he will deliv-
er on June 80 at Pittsburgh.
Fogs last night and carly today

Colonel Roosevelt planned to leave

FL Paso, Texas, June 24.-Irregu-

a few miles east of FL Paso. it was
announced today by Consul Elias. OF
the Huerta government. The report
was denied by Colonel Ornelas, the

been brought to Juarez, and that the
Federals were in command Of Col.

lying in wild country along a
sparsely inhabited strip OF the Rio
Grande bottom.
The relative standing Of Huerta,
Carranza and Villa was reflected to-
day in the local money market. For
the first time since the VillaCar-
rama estrangement was first re-
ported, villa money dropped lower
than Carranza money. while federal
money remained at staunch 33
cents on the gold dollar. The con-
stitutional national fiat paper was
quoted at "a cents, while Villas
chihuahua state issue dropped to 23
cents. Results of the pending bat
ties of Guadalajara and Zacatecas
are awaited eagerly at the local Mex

CITY STREETS TO
Be BLAZE Of
LIGHT ON
JULY 4
Colors for Ornamental Light Poles
Selected; Contest Ends and Win
ners Announced.

After an open contest of three
weeks, the colors for Trinidads Or
namental light poles were yesterday
selected from the many suggestions
by the light committee from the city
council, assisted by F. p. Wood and
w. P. Woodbridge of the light COM
pany. Two winning selections were
made and consequently two West
inghouse colonial style percoIators
win be awarded. one to Mrs. Ben r.
Reddish and the other to Mrs. II. L.
Bowden. The colors selected by
each of these ladies were black for
the base. olive green for the pole and
aluminium for the arms. After but
little debating the committee in
charge of the contest decided that
these were the most appropriate col
ors for Trinidad's new ornamental
light standards.
When first announced the contest
was to end July /. but due to the
fact that the poles must be painted
by that time: It was thought advis-
able to close the contest yesterday
and make the announcement of the
winning colors today.
The colors selected for the light
poles form one of the best color COM
binations which it is possible to Sc
cure. The harmony between the
black base and the olive green pole
is perfect and the contrast between
the olive green and the aluminium Of
the cross arms, on which are sus-
pended the tungsten lights. is only
enough to set them off properly at
night.
The conventional color for light
standards of this design is solid
and plain black. but the committee
decided to depart from the color
which is used in most cities and
have something original for Trini-
dad.
The erection of these light poles is
the first step for the Identifying of
the city. These poles are to be
erected on Main and Commercial
streets and important side streets.
making total Of 115 poles which
are SO far ordered. From time to
time it is planned to increase the
number until Trinidad is known as
one of the best lighted cities in the
West.
From all present Indications the
lights will be turned on with great
pomp and ceremony on July 4th.
From the moment that the hundreds
Of lights are turned on and the city
is ablaze with light and the hither-
tofore dark streets are made light, a
new era has begun in the history of
Trinidad and tourists from all over
the country will be attracted to the
Lighted City OF the West

Further discussion of those planks of

delegates today, while waiting for Il
definite understanding of instruc-

1t was said that at least one OF
the planks would be framed as IA pro-

If the purpose of the principals is
fulfilled, the international side of the
