".Falstaff" Is Pronounced the Com
poser's Masterpiece.
One of the "Grand Old Men" of Europe---In
His Seventy-vXintli Year Now,
But as Bright and Capable
as a Young Giant.
Our century has been kind to the
veterans in the various walks of life,
and poetry, science, politics, art and
music each boast their famous devotees
who have passed the septuagenarian

; Italian maestro, Guiseppc Verdi, re
cently, and in his seventy-ninth year,
has piven to the world an opera whose
brilliancy of conception, masterful
force, perfect technique and richness
bl popular sentiment rise above those
of his. former creations. It takes a
place among the grand productions of
iime. Hadyn won renown for the pro
duction of his "Creation" and the
' "SeaHtfJia" when a littae past 00, but

Tige nas ce&seu to sraci wonuer.
"Wagner gave the world his best con
ception when 08; at 78 Verdi brought
out his first tragic opera, and at 79 pro
duces a comic opera which has won
universal plaudits.
The striking character of Verdi's
"Falstafl:"' is the originality of both
plan and execution. The aged artist,
long since a master of the old school of
mvsical expression, and a consistent
teacher of its methods, has broken
iy from its lines, and with all the
trenchant style, poetic fire and concen
trated rigor of a man in the zenith of
strength nnd activity leads the way
into new paths, and raises higher the
standard of musical interpretation. At
-an age when it is presumed a man
ceases to develop mentally or to be
capable of the assimilation of new
ideas and methods, Verdi has shown
himself as alert intellectually and as
quick to master new principles and
popular sentiment1-; as the most bril
liant,of the yo.ungei school, and he is
the acknowledged head of the modern
Italian school ' Ialstaff" is a comedy
in the full significance of the term.
There are oleven parts in the opera,

Victor Maurel. This character is the
central figure of the story and is upon
the stage most of the time. The change
of style in Verdi's works first was no
ticeable in "Don .Carlos," and contin
ued in "Aida," tke "Manzoni Re
quiem, " and "Otello," and finds its
culmination in his "Falstaff." Much
of tho'change in the latter production is
creditable to Sig. Arrigo Boito, the noted
librettist, in whom Verdi found a
collaborator worthy his accomplish
ments, and one whose assistance gave
in-.p. ration to his efforts. Boito is thor
oughly versed in stagecraft, and his
libretto, an adaptation from Shakes
peare, is rich in poetic sentiment,
natio incident and lively action,

was the object of much ridicule and
criticism from people who maintained
it absurd that the actors should sing
instead of speaking their lines. At
that time it was a bold experiment to
attempt to revive n modern Europe
the Greek drama, but the "Greeks," as
thcyp were called, held their way
courageously, and in fifty years the
opera was the favorite form of music in
all European countries.

Mr. CiUtop'g Unhappy Experience.
"About as uncomfortable an experi
ence as I ever had," said a retired bur
glar, "I had in a small town in the
interior of this si ate. I had gone into a
house very late so as not to disturb the
people, but just as I turned into one of
the rooms the light was turned up sud
denly, and an instant later I was pinned
to the door by a knife through my coat
sleeve. By this time my eyes had got
accustomed to the light, and I could see
a man sitting up in bed. He had a row
of knives sticking in the headboard of
the bed over his head and another knife
in his hand. It seems that this man
was a professional knife thrower, who
made his home in this town and who
always came there when he wasn't on
the road. I had happened to find him
at home, and here I was within five
minutes after entering the house stand
ing up against a door while he threw
knives at me. It was a most unex
pected and a most uncomfortable expe
rience; and besides not getting any
thing, I was actually out the cost of a
good suit of clothes, for the ones I had
on were never fit to wear afterwards."

La Grippe.
During the prevalence of the grippe
the past seasons it was a noticeable fact
that those who depended upon Dr.
King's New Discovery, not only had a
speedy recovery, but escaped all of the
troublesome after effects of the malady.
This remedy seems to have a peculiar
power in effecting rapid cures not only
in cases of la grippe, but in all diseases
of throat, chest and lungs, and has cured
cases of asthma and hay fever of long
standing. Try it and be convinced. It
won't disappoint. Free trial bottles at
