A New Currency System. , ist and Ind - F me Several important questions are present ing themselves to those n bers of the commission who are studying the problem of strengthening the gold standard under a new ‘SA CAT. currency system. There is a strong s in the commission in favor of re- the greenbacks and substituting a currency. One of the difficulties S presented itself is the method of' ng the gold parity of silver coin r certificates if the government dons its gold reserve. The result of ing gold for the redemption of the greenbacks until the gold reserve should be cleaned up would be to leave nothing but silver in the treasury for redemption ses.

Some of the treasury experts are ready to assure them that the quantity of silver paper would largely control the situation, and that it would remain at par with gold so long as the banks kept the elastic element of the currency under control by restricting their issues and influencing the exchanges by the discount rate. Some of the members of the commission’ feel that there would be some risk in de- priving the government of gold resources, even if the experience of Holland and other countries justified the belicf that silver would not go to a discount. ‘They believe that the government should retain a gold reserve and redeem silver paper in gold upon demand. They do not think that the redemptions would be large, bi the notes would be put in small denominations, and the volume would be only about half the existing value of government paper money hey are inclined to believe also that the position of the banks toward the provision of gold for export would be largely changéd if the maintenance of the gold standard were imposed upon them by the requirement that they should redc their notes in gold on demand. It would be contrary to sound banking policy to create a panic by driving the treasury into a corner, according to this theory, when the same panic would lead to the rapid pre- sentation of bank notes for redemption in gold to the impairment of general credit. The subcommittee in charge of coinage matters will probably decide in favor of putting the silver certificates in small de- nominations. Just how they will deal with the remainder of the problem if they decide to try the experiment of a banking cur- rency has not yet been determined. ees OLD AGE. A RIPE Verdi, Master of Music, Completes His Eighty-Fifth Year. Musicians everywhere, in every country and under every condition, have anticipated for some time with feelings of anxiety the death of Guiseppe Verdi, one of the world’s greatest masters of music. Yesterday tnat fecling was turned into pleasure at the news that Verdi had safely passed his eighty-fourth birthday, and, while the im- pending end seems very close, indeed, its bitterness will be tempered by a know!l- edge of the fact that the great musi was spared through the whole of eighty four years to deiight and instruct the world. Verdi has been the one exception with regard to long life among a majority of the world’s famous musicians. Mozart died at thirty-five, four years after “Don Giovanni” was first performed and two years after the production of “The Magic Flute;” Von Weber died at forty, after ha ing produced ‘Der Freischuetz” at thirt; ve; Mendelssohn produced ‘Elijah’ thirty-seven and died at thirty-eight; Schu- bert died at thirty-one and Schumann at forty. Verd first opera, “Oberto,” was produc- ed in 1840, so that his career since has been longer than the entire lifetime of any of the great masters mentioned. Verdi was born October 9, 1813, two years before the fall of the great Napoleon, and {in the same year that Rossini at Venice produced his “Tancredi,” which carried the fame of the “Swan of Pesaro” throughout Kurope. Like Haydn, Handel, Mozart, Rossini, Weber and most of the eminent composers, Verdi very early in life manifested a passion for music. It is said that as a Little child he followed itinerant organ grinders with tireless _persister and when he as just seven his bought him, a spinet, which instrument stringless and worn with age, 4s still cher: | ished by the master. At eight he begun | his first musical stud with the organist of the Htule church at Roncole, the hamlet where he was bi At ten he was org: of the church. He then at Beusscto and later went. riously enough, he was refuse ship on the ground that he displayed ‘no natural aptitude for music. Nevertheless, he studied for five years and then com- menced his career as a writer of opera. The development of the lyric drama from the old forms into the n , which has gone va uninterruptedly In Italy, is illustrated in tae brilliant succession’ of the Verdi opera, from “Oberto,” which strongly shows the influence of Bellini; “I Lom- bardi,”" which gave him his first substantial recognition; “Ernani,” “Rigoletto,” “La ‘Trayiata,” ‘in which Patti, wnen she was arcely but a child, scoréd her great tri- umph im Parls; the immortal “Il ‘Trova- re,” “Il Ballo in Maschera,” with its | her’ a scholar- laughable circumstance of first production; “Aida,”” which marked a departure from the conventional Italian forms and Verdi's recognition of the growing Wagnerian in- flue to “Otell which is really the model of the new dtalian school, and the iyric comedy, “Falstaff,” which was writ- ten when Verdi was eighty years of age. Although Verdi himself has declared, “I shall not write another bar for the theater, emphatically, not another ba! the resolu- tion may not, after all, prove irrevocable. The latest cable messages report the mas- ter as “still vigorous and busy et work on new pieces.” Should the muster be spared for sufficient time the musical world will doubtless yet be regaled with another Verdi opera. —_.__ MET AND EXPRESSED REGRET. High Corean Officials on Death of Pom Kwang Soh, In the city of Seoul, Corea, August 24, there was a meeting of government offi- cials, composed of members of the official club, which expressed a deep sense of re- gret at the death of their colleague, the late Pom Kwang Soh. This was in de- etded contrast to the action of the Corean officials in this country, who refused to attend the funeral of deceased states- man, MR. LISNER'S ANNIVERSARY Important Event in the History of Palais Royal. Letters and Messages of Congratula- tion—Growth of a Business Career. It is usually the casg when a man starts out to celebrate the anniversary of some important event in his career for him to provide for the occaston i his own way and lay out a prograni to bé followed in its observance. In the case of Mr. A. Lisne the proprietor of the. Palais Royal, ho ever, whose twentieth anniversary of his commencement of business /in Washington occurs today, his friends have taken charge of affairs and are treating him with cor- dial apprectation. The tributes of esteem which Mr. Lisner is receiving are not con- fined alone to the people of Washington, who have so long regarded his mammoth establishment with such favorable feelings. The mcrning mail brought him a vast col- lection of letters from the leading firms of the country, with whom Mr. Lisner's bus ness relations have been so close and im- pertant, while telegrams of an equally complimentary sort were received in abun- dance, While such encomiums are, of course, very gratifying to Mr. Lisner, he was ‘more deeply touched by the series of resolutions adopted by his regiment of employes, that were accompanied by a beautiful floral of- fering Mr. Lisner had very gocd cause to be proud of the cay. Twenty years ago he Legan business in Washington in a small store In the building bu!lt by Alexander K. Shepherd, corner Pennsylvania averue and 12th street. Lisner’s store was next to the corner of 12th street, at No. 1117. His working force consisted of himself and six clerks. He quickly perceived that the Washington public consisted of intelligent and careful buyers, and that they would auickly patronize a merchant who would present an attractive and choice stock at equitable prices. The pursuit of this pol- icy required Mr. Lisner to extend his ac- commodations until he occupied the entire large building which became famove as the Palais Royal. Four years ago, on the Ast of October, Mr. Lisner took possession of his immense establishment at tth and G streets northwest, which represented an expenditure of half a million dollars, and which was equipped with all the’ con- veniences and comforts and modern ap- pliances of a first-class metropolitan store. The same methods that Mr. Lisner had followed in building up his immense bus- iness were continued, ‘The system of seli- ing for absolute cash made it naturally pos- sible for the immense stock which com- prises everything that a modern depart- ment store should contain, to be disposed of at the lowest prices compatible with stall profits. Accordingly the Palais Royal is a great concentrating poiat for Washington people, and today, when the fall opening occurred simultaneously with the coming of the twentieth anniversary, there were countless crowds seeking the attractive bargains offered. Mr. Lisner is a young man, about forty- five years old, and 1s a native of Meiningen, Germany. He was not educated for a bus- tess life, having had his studies directed largely to music and the languages, but he oon displayed striking tendencies’ toward commercial enterprise, and coming to this country, he began his career first in New York, which has been already crowned with Fre-eminent succe —— EX-QUEEN LIL’S HEALTH. Former Sovereign of Hawaii Said to Be Seriously Il. It is stated that ex-Queen Liliuokalani of the Hawaiian Islands, who returned here from San Francisco, Septefinber 8, and is quartered at the Ebbitt House, is just re- covering from a sevére attack of pneu- ironia. Her condition is still regarded as critical. Private Secretary’ Helelahi de- clined to discuss it this morning. It was learned that she was so fil at one time that 1i was found necegsary foP her physi- clan to be constantly ,in attendance upon her. { : The ex-queen returned to the city in a much depressed states; ocegsioned by the condition of affairs in her cwn country, so unfavorable to any hove she had of res- toration to the throne? She’caught a yio- lent cold on her trip,!and™ this, together with her bad physica, condition, brought on the attack. She has been confined to her bed almost contingously since her re- turn to Washington, and hag denied herself to_visitors. at The ex-queen hag been failing in health for some iime, and the knowledge of this has caused much unensiness to her intimate friends. There is said to be a decided ten- dency in her family to consumption. Worry over the state of her affairs has resulted in her losing weight .and strength. She Tas been advised to leave Washington in consequence. An offer has heen tendered the ex-queen to preside over a carnival to be held in Wichita, Kan., three days in 1898, but it is not known whether “or no she will ac- cept.
