Teller. ex-Cabinet officer and for more
than thirty years United States Sen
ator from Colorado, died here this
morning. Mr. Teller, who was 83
years old. had been 111 for two years
and his death was not unexpected.
Washington, D. C„ Feb. 23.—Henry
At. Teller was one of the original "sil
ver Republicans." Many of his sup
porters contended he was the first. He
was so-called at any rate, when he I
loft the Republican national conven-!
tlon at St. Louis In 1896 because he I
did not agree with the gold standard !
plank of the platform and ran again for!
the Senate in Colorado as an Independ
ent silver Republican. He was elect-)
ed with 94 votes out of 100 and after j
serving that term, the silver Republi- j
cans in Colorado merged with the;
Democrats and Mr. Teller returned to !
the Senate —that time as a Democrat.'
He served one term as such and re- j
tired in 1903 to make a place for the j
late Senator Hughes, also of the same I
party.
News of Mr. Teller's death was re-1
ceived with deep regret in congres- ,
sional circles where those who were
of his time referred to it as the pass- j
lng of another old line Senator. Tel- i
ler was one of the first two Senators .
elected when Colorado became a State, i
In Arthur's Cublnet
In 1883 Teller enter President Ar-j
thur's Cabinet as Secretary of the;
Interior; but he left that office again |
In 1885 to re-enter the Senate.
While serving his last term he was j
a member of the National Monetary
Commission, which studied a reforma
tion of the banking and fiscal system |
of the United States at home and j
abroad. He continued to serve on that j
commission until it expired by law,
after he had ceased to be a Senator, j
however. j
Teller was born in Granger, Alle- i
gheny county, N. Y„ in 1830, had a
common school education, topped off I
by a little while at Alfred University: 1

which has caused the downfall of
many witnesses. This was proved re
cently In a divorce trial. Sir. Train

her?"
"Yes, sir."

"That's my business!" angrily re
sponded the irate husband.
Unmoved, Mr. Train asked this

UNTEACHABLK TAMMANY
"You can't teach Tammany Hall
moral politics. Tammany Hall is blind
to that sort of thing. You'd waste your
sermons and homilies on such an in

The occasion was a luncheon, the
speaker John Purroy Mltchel, fusion
candidate for Mayor of New York.
"Yes," he continued, "to teach Tam
many morality would be like teaching
a little girl mineralogy.
"A teacher, you know, spent a long
time explaining to her class what a
mineral was.
" 'A mineral,' said the teacher, sum
ming up—'a mineral is an inorganic
homogeneous substance of definite
chemical composition, found In na
ture. You have all seen minerals. Now
who will name me some?' "
" 'I will, teacher,' said a little girl.
" 'Very well —go ahead. Three
minerals, please.'
" 'Ginger-ale, sa'sp'rella and pear
I cider,' said the little girl."—New York

SENORA VILLA, WIFE OF THE MEXICAN GENERAL
Senora Villa, the real wife of General Pancha Villa, has been with him
at Juarez for some time. This Is the (lrst picture ever published of her.
While Villa has been marching over Mexico spreading: devastation, she has
been at home. It Is possible that she will become the first lady of Mexico,
for Villa Is now the strongest man there, except President Huert'a. Within
three months he has taken more territory and won inoro br.ttlcs than all the
other Insurgent commanders. While Carranza Is the ostensible head of the
Insurgent movement, he has been overshadowed by the man who took
Juarez, Chihuahua and OJinaga.
LITTLE NOTES FROM
NEW PUBLIC
"Her Ladyship's Second Youth," by
Charles Snxby, gives a marked distinc
tion to Alnslee's March issue. It is a
brilliant and powerful piece of work.
The beautiful wife of the governor ol'
an island in the West Indies has be
come cold and reserved, her life seem
ingly wrapped in a mental state as
gray in tone as the clothes she
chooses. She is suddenly awakened
to the warmth and possibilities of liv
ing by the ardor of a kiss meant for
another, which she thinks her own
attraction has inspired. Its effect is
marvelous, on her own character as
well as on the political, social and
personal life of the Island. Against a
background of charming, vivid de
scription, this story is cleverly devel
oped up to a dramatic climax.
Bonnie R. Ginger writes a tale of
Gloucester, which fairly teems with
the atmosphere of that attractive old
fishing village by the sea. Its title is
"Out for Self-Expresslon." William
Slavens McNutt contributes "Heenan's
Ace," another of this hero's savagely
dramatic adventures in the North.
The cause of woman suffrage gets
into Action in this number of Ains
lee's through two good stories. The
popular hero of I. A. R. Wylle's "The
Romantic Adventures of Sandy
McOrab" protects a pretty girl who
breaks a window in Ix>ndon and gets
himself arrested for his chivalry. Rob
ert Emmet MacAlarney contributes an
adventurous, humorous tale called
"Boadlcea's Putter," the theme con
cerning itself largely with the march
of the suffragettes to Albany.
"Tigress," by Ronald Mac Donald,
depicts the fierce mother love that
turns a gentlewoman into a fiend when
her child is kidnaped. It is a remark
ably strong story. "The Woman Who
Did Not Care." by Mary Gaunt, is a
thrilling tale of an uprising in China.
Joseph Ernest's "The Same Old Story"
FEBRUARY 23, 1914.
. is a cleverly written episode of New
York life.
Other excellent fiction in this num- '
ber is "The Black Bap," by Wells
Hastings; "None So Blind," by \Y
Carey Wonderly; "The Passing of
Aunt Deborah," by Ralph Stock, ano
"The Grooming of Sarah Mudd," by
Edna Rock.

ALBRIGHT RECITAL
BIG MUSICAL EVEN!
Program Is of Scope Seldom Aty
tempted and Never Before
Heard Here
The Beethoven Concerto, which New--
ell Albright Is to piay on Thursday
evening. February 26. with Frederlo C.
Martin's assistance. Is the famous
fourth In G—which Godowskv played
last season with the Philadelphia Or
chestra with such wonderful virtuosity.
It Is of the period of the great flftlx
Symphony , with an opening theme
strikingly like the HO well known open
ing motif of that work. The cadenzas
used by Mr. Albright lire tho original
ones written for tlie Concerto by Beeth
oven.
The presentation of ft composition of
so great a scope—in extent a small
symphony-—is undoubtedly a musical
event of tho first magnitude. Mr. Al
bright lias the unique distinction of
following a determined and consistent
policy of presenting to the public only
the very greatest of the compositions
written for the piano, and which we
are not always given an opportunity to
hear even in tho extremely rare visits
of famous virtuosi. There Is sufficient
of the popular element in his program,
as witness the waltzes by Brahms,
and the korgoous Oriental fantasy by
Balikirew, not to mention the remark- '
able concert studies of Polclini and the
famous "perpetual motion" of the
1 Weber Sonata, to make It of interest to
| the musically uncultured.
