Good Words For Armstrong.


General regret coupled with words Of
commentator for a tried and true Of
ficer Of the law came from high
and lowly in all parts OF the District
following the shooting OF Detective
Sergeant J. Z. ARMSTRONG by a
youth.
"A good man shot down by a repre-
hensible thug and thief" was the COM
posite comment OF a number OF BUSH
ness and professional men with whom
l talked. And to a man they point
ed to the tragic affair as another
reason why the carrying Of deadly
weapons should be severely punished.

Leoncava11o Dead;
Ranked With Best
Composers of Age
of ''Pagliacci'' and
s'La Boheme'' Began Ca
reer as Penniless Pianist
in Cafes OH the Continent
ROME, Aug. 9.-Ruggicro Leonca-
vallo, the composer, is dead.

Ruggiero Lroncavallo, the author
of "Pagliacci" and LA Boheme," won
fame as one of the foremost COMPOSERS
of the day by those two operas. The
composer was born in Naples sixty
one years ago, the son of magistrate
lie studied piano and entered the
Naples Conservatory, studying compo-
slton under Rossi, the famous COM
poser. At the age of sixteen he made
tour as a pianist, and he was gradu-
ated from the conservatory with the
title of maestro at the age Of eighteen.
Leoncavallos career as composer
began with his tragic opera, "Tommaso
Chatterton." after Alfred de Vigny's
drama Owing to the desertion of the
lmprcsarlo who was to produce this
work at Bologna, the opera was not
produced and Lconcavallo was left pen
nlless. lie became a private teacher
OF the piano, piano player in cafes.
wandering through France, Err gland
and Egypt. He began an operatic
trilogy called "Crepusrulum." the three
parts of which were known as "I
Medlci," "Savonarola" and "Cesarc Bor-
gla,' the two last parts remaining un-
finished owing to the failure of the
first.
Leoncavallo was also man of let
ters and had written the books of many
of his operas. He was profoundly in
fuenced by Richard Wagner, and the
master of Bayreuth gave personal en-
couragement to the composer who did
much to make Warner understood in
Italy.
1t was in 1892. following close on
Mascagnl'S "Cavalleria," that the two
act OPERA seria "I Paeliacci," which
was one of the most popular operas
ever written, was sung at the Theatre
dal Verne at Milan. Leoncavalo wrote
the book to this opera as we'll as the
music. The work was heard in Ger
many the next year and from there
went to every country in the world
where opera was produced. He pro-
duced other operas largely by virtue
OF his earlier success, writing his own
llbrettos in every case. In 1897 ola
Boheme" was produced in Venice, and
this opera, too, has attained wide pop
"Trilby." "Zaza," an opera produced in
Milan in 1900 and at Antwerp in 1902,
New York has only heard excerpts Of
in concert form.
In 1904 ex-Emperor William II OF
Germany commissioned Leoncavallo to
write DER Roland Won Berlin" and
the Kaiser received the composer with
special honor at command perform
ancc. Lconcavallo visited the United
States twice, once in 1906. giving CON
certs from his operas, and again 1913,
when he conducted his own works in
