SON Of AN ITALIAN BAKER

Father Opposed a Musical Career and Famous Composer's First Lessons Were Taken in Secret.

The announcement that Pietro Mascagni, the famous Italian composer and leader is to appear in this city on Sunday evening, Dec. 28, has caused a lot of interest in the artist who on this his first American tour has succeeded in attracting enormous attention.

The first part of the program will be of miscellaneous numbers by the orchestra and the singers. The sccond part will be Mascagni's principal opera, "Cavelieria Rusticana," which will be sung in concert form, though the cast and the chorus will be costumed. Th.e soloists will be Signora Capelli, Signora Farneti, Signora I)o Filippi, Signora DH Parto, Signor Schiavazzi, Signor Bellati and Signor Frascona. Mascagni will conduct. The entire company is Italian. It will be an unparalleled opportunity to hear modern Italian opera, orchestral execution and direct vocal art. The company and its leader were unfortunate early in their tour of this country, and their troubles have been extensively described from day to day in the newspapers. Signor Mascagni determined to show that he and his orchestra and singers were of the right sort, and lie found a new manager in Richard Heard, of Boston. Their efforts have been enthusiastically approved elsewhere, and the tour of the Italian visitors now promises to be triumphant and prosperous. The following interesting and concise sketch of Mascagni's career is from George I'. Upton's book on "The Standard Operas:"

Pietro Mascagni, who leaped into fame at a single bound, was born at Leghorn Dec. 7, 1863. His father was a baIceland had planned for his son a career in the legal profession: but, as often happens, fate ordered otherwise. His tastes were distinctly musical, and his determination to study music was encouraged bjr Signor Bianchi, a singing teacher, who recognized his talent. For a time he took lessons, unknown to his father, from Soffredini, but when it was* discovered he was ordered to abandon music and devote himself to law. At this juncture his UneleStefano carne to his rescue, took him to his house, provided him with a piano and also the means to pursue his studies. Recognizmg the uselessness of further objections, the father at last withdrew them, and lett his son free to follow his own pleasure. He progressed so rapidly under Soffredini that he was soon engaged in composition, his first work being a ?yoipftony in minor and a "Kyrie,"' which were performed in 1870. In1 ]S8i lie composed a cantata, "In Filanda," and a setting of which had successful public performances. The former attracted the attention of a rich nobleman, who furnished young Mascagni the means to attend the Milan Conservatory. After studying there a short time he suddenly left Milan with an operatic troupe and visited various Italian cities, a pilgrimage which was of great value to him, as it made ham, acquainted with the resources of an orcestra and the details of condticting. The troupe, however, met with hard fortune and soon disbanded, throwing Mascagni upon the world. For a few years he made a precarious living in obscure towns by teaching and had at last reached desperate extremeties, when one day he read in a newspaper that Sonzogno, the music publisher, had offered prizes for the three best one-act operas, to be performed in Rome. He at once entered into competition and produced "Cava-llefria Rusticana." It took the first prize. It aid more than this for the impecunious composer. When performed he was called ^twenty times before the curtain. Honors 'and decorations were showered upon him. He was everywhere greeted with serenades and ovations. Every opera house in Europe clamored for the new work. In a day he had risen from utter obscurity and become world-fam-ous. His sudden popularity, however, had a pernicious effect, as it induced him to rush out more operas without giving sufficient time to their preparation. "Friend Fritz," based upon the well-known Erckmann—Chatrian story, and "I Rantzau" quickly followed "Cavalleria Rufeticana," but did not meet with its success. Last year, however, he produced two operas at Milan, "William RatclifF" and "Silvano," which proved successful. Whether "Cavalleria

Rusticanna" is to remain as liis only hold upon public favor the future alone can tell but that he has talent of the highest order and that he has produced an opera whose reception has been almost unparalleled in the world of music cannot be questioned.

The sheriff has written Mayor Steeg a letter, asking to borrow twenty policemen, and offering to pay or have the county pay for their work, and it is apparent that Mr. Fasig is "precaution" personified when the county has to foot the bill. It is tine that the feeling, or rather the excitement incident to the murdier has subsided, and all the people want is that speedy justice be meted out to the guilty. When they are convinced that the murderer is to be brought back here and given a speedy trial, there is not the remotest danger of a mob, and the expense that Sheriff Fasig proposes to pile up on the county is useless.

His request, however, "will be granted, and special policemen will be appointed to serve in the places of the patrolmen who are chosen to serve as deputy sheriffs. The board will meet at once an£ arrange the detail, and select men to fill the temporary vacancies on the regular force. It is not announced just what day the negro will be brought back, but it will, it is said, be one day this week.

When Alexander is brought into court and arraigned on the indictment the matter of appointing an attorney to defend him will be attended to. There are no other applicants for the job, but Austin Sweet, and it is likely he will be named. It may, perhaps be stipulated that ehe attorney shall not ask for change of venue. The man can get a fair and impartial trial here and the judge will attempt to guard against the expense of a change of venue, and the incident delay 1

FASIGJS FEARFUL

PRETENDS TO BELIEVE TERRE HAUTEANS ARE BLOOD THIRSTY

PILES EXPENSE OM COUNTY

Intends to Make Great Demonstration When He Finally Brings Murderer Alexander Back Here.

It is announced that Matthew Alexander, the murderer of Thomas Burke, will be brought back from Indianapolis this week, and according to the appeals of Sheriff Dan Fasig, the people of Terre Haute will have an excellent opportunity to distinguish between precaution and groundless apprehension. The sheriff, according to the early predictions of The Tribune, is going to shift the responsibility of bringing the murderer back off on the shoulders of the police department. He has written a letter to Mayor Stecg asking that twenty uniformed policemen be detailed to help guard the negro, and also be placed on guard at the jail while the negro is conlined there.. He says that if he is able, he may go along with thejBetail over to,Indianapolis to bring AleiSnder back, and if he continues indispoWd he may send one of his deputies. In the face of the fact that he says that the feeling against Alexander ha-s died' out, he wants the biggest end of the police department .and company '"B'' on duty, when he brings him back here. It is also believed that the railroads will have to abandon traffic on that ds&, for the sheriff says that if a, crowd gathers at the depot everybody will be arrested. While the distinguished colored guest is being brought back and entertained at the jail, nobody will be allowed to talk above a whisper within the c.ity limits, in fear they are organizing a mob. As it looks now, people will have to call on the sheriff and get a permit before they will be permitted to talk over business matters quietly, while Mr. Alexander is in town He couldn't be induced to bring Alexander back before the election, because he said, in substance that the people whom he expected to elect him sheriff were waiting for an opportunity to murder the negro Now he kindly consents to let he negro be brought back and kept in his jail if the police department and' the militia company will sit down there with gatling guns and watch him It is also suggested that a new water plug will be arranged at the jail and if anybody approaches the building in a manncvr that might disturb the reson ant snore of Mr Alexander, the jailer will squirt water on them Anybody approaching the jail between the arrival of Alexander and his -trial had better carry a bell and wear a rubber coat.

SERMONS DELIVERED IN LOCAL PULPITS YESTERDAY.

PROPOSE NEW LEGISLATION

Four Speakers from Indianapolis Out* lined the Plans of the Campaign to Church People.

The work ,of the Indiana anti-saloon league was begun here yesterday when four ministers and temperance workers of Indianapolis addressed Terre congregations. Each, man spoke twice during the day although at different churches. Their programs were so arranged that they cpuld cover the greatest amount of territory by the two addresses.

The services yesterday were more for the purpose of explaining the anti-sa-loon movement than for beginning a strenuous light against existing conditions. The Nicholson law,passed by the state assembly eighit years ago was talked of. The ministers said that when the law was passed it was difficult to exclude! saloons for a separate remonstrance had to be gotten up and signed by the majority of the voters for every application for liquor license.

Last May, the ministers explained, the Supreme court gave a decision to the effect that the majority of the voters could give power of attorney after once securing the necessary majority. This makes the fight against saloons much easier than under the Nicholson law.

One more old citizen of Clinton in tho person of Mart Davidson has answered the last roll call. He died at Metcalfe, 111., Thursday and the remains were brought to Clinton where they were laid to rest Saturday. The deceased is well known in Clinton and Vermilion counties having lived here the greater part of his life. The cause of his death was not learned but old age probably had something to do with it, he being well up in seventy.

The council which meets tonight Svill no doubt take some action in regard to the water works problem which has been hanging fire for the past several months-. They will also probably give their attention to the small pox which is now raising. A year or so ago there was a small pox "scare" here which cost the city several hundred dollnrs. The council desires to use every means possible to keep down the spread of small pox but they do not desire to spend money needlessly and foolishly in quarantining and hiring specialists for the "Cpban itch" or a bad. case of "hives."

A most pitiful sight was to be seen .Saturday evening just across the railroad bridge.

Neither had on enough clothes to hide their nakedness and both were bare footed. When asked why their condition was such the father replied that he had met with a great deal of misfortune and' wag trying to make hi,s way to Kentucky.^
