Southern Stops Sale of
Colonist Tickets West

No mere cut rate colonist tickets
from any point on its lines to the
West and Northwest will be sold by
the Southern Railway Company, &C
cording to announcement today by
officials of that company. This an
nouncement is in accordance with the
policy of President Harrison to do
everything possible to discourage the
movement of people from the South.
Harrison feels that the South offers
greater opportunity than any other
section, and that the people living in
the South cannot improve their con-
dition by moving.
The Southern will consequently
withdraw from any rate fight with
competing roads which might serve
as an inducement TO persons to leave

COMPOSER VERDI.

A Link Of the Past to the Present.
Wherever, whenever and however
popular music is known, the COM
poser who must be accorded universal
laurels is Giuseppe Verdi, born near
Parma, Italy. His true name was
Francesca Fortune He received his
musical education from the chapel
master of the cathedral for whom he
composed marches at an early age.
His first opera was presented at the
La Scala, Milan, in 1888 and a few
years later on the pronounced success
of "Ernani" made him one OF the
popular operate composers of the
day. The arias from I'll Trovatore"
were sung and whistled upon the
streets whenever opportunity offered
and were rendered wherever and
however one might desire music,
whether in opera, symphony, Oratorio,
concert, or street hand organ. He
composed the popular melody, "Ahl
Have Sighed to Rest Me-" and 9TH
ers that will never be forgotten as
long as fair Italian skies remain.
But when he wrote Aida" and his
later operas he proved that he was
in fact a master of modern music,
equal to the radical changes in opera
construction and orchestration. In
every collection of songs touching
the heart a number of the arias from
Verdi's operas viii always appear.
He died at Milan in 1901 at ma
ture age. The musical career of
Verdi is one of the notable chapters
in the history of music of all time.
Several of Nerdi's most famous
operate airs appear in Heart Songs.
This unique volume contains a treas
ury of songs for a half century past
Lippincott & Company commend It to
our readers as the one collection OF
songs of the past century which they
cannot do without, and call attention
to their coupon printed elsewhere in
today's paper.
