Rome, Jan. 28. — A special dispatch
to the Patria says that Verdi, the com
poser, is dead. He was born in 1813
near l'arma, at the foot of the Aper-
uines. At 11 he was tbe organist of
Roncole, his native village. He first
married the daughter of the conductor
of the theater of La Scala, For 50
years be has made the villa of St. Ago-
tha, near Bunseto, his favorite resi-
deuce. After the death ot his first
wife he married Mme. Strepponi, who
played in the first performance of his
“Nabucco,” at Milan, over 55 years
ago. Verdi's father was the keeper of
an inn, a fact which would seem to
prove the theory of some men of
science that all human beings are liorn
equal in possibility. What Verdi has
done for mankind cannot be measured.
“Ernani,” Rigoletto, ” ”11 Trova-
tore,” “La Travaita,” "Alda”—these
and
names tell the story of
of the

Italian of humble ori
to his kind. His compositions have
been very numerous. As early as 1347
he wrote the ‘"Masnadieri. ” It was
composed for Jenny Lind, and was
sung at Her Majesty theater in Lon
don with the great soprano in the prin
cipal part. ‘‘Trovatore” is his most
popular opera. “Aida” is his greatest
work, but opinions vary on this point,
as they vary about the greatest of
Shakespeare’s plays. Signor Verdi did
other things than write music.
He
was a member ot the Italian parlia
ment, and served his country in the
capacity of minister of public instruc
tion. France gave him the legion of
honor, Russia gave him the order oi
St. Stanislaus, Italy the order of the
crown, and Egypt the order of Osman-
ieh. Australia presented him with a
cross of commandership of the order
of Franz Joseph. Of late years Verdi
wrote works that are almost as well
known as his earUer efforts. They are
"Othello” and ^‘Falstaff.” The lat
ter was written when the author was
79 years of age.
