Franz Joseph Haydn was born at Rohrau ,
Austria , March 31 , 1732. While a boy he
became a member of the choir of St. Steph
en's , In Vienna , and a.udled violin nnd
piano. Karly In life he began to compose
and showed great talent. He Is justly
called "the father of the symphony , " nnd
It Is largely owing to hU genius that out
of n chaos of Instruments and players wo
have the modern orchestra. H'e ' died In
Vienna May 31 , 1S09.
Robert Alexander Schumann wca born
June 8 , 1S10 , at Zwlclcav. Saxony. IIU
falhor favored hU musical Inclinations ; hh
mother opposed them. When U years old
hu heard for the flrat time a great planUt ,
and his soul was set on fire. Yet , to pleasi
his mother , he began to study law. It was
a. waste of time. The mystic power of the
greatest of the arts was over him anil
claimed him as Its willing devotee. Schu
mann baa written symphonies , oratorios ,
operas , SOURS , and a great mass of piano
music. His power Is greater today than
when he was alive. He died July 29. 1S3C.
In an asylum for the Insane , nwr llonn.
He believed that Mendelssohn , Schubert
and Hach came to him and communed with
him. His last composition was some varia
tions upon a theme which he believed they
gave to him.

Franz Peter Schubert was born In a su
burb of Vienna. January 31. 1797. Ho was
one of n family of nineteen children. Ilia
father taught him violin , and before he
was 10 years of ago he bflnan to compose.
Schubert was a musician by Intuition , for
ho was never properly schooled In the art.
He was so full of It that It had to come
out , and his natural sense of the Illness of
things and Ilia keen observation carried
him through where others , without more
actual knowledge , would have fallen. He
wrote symphonies , piano music , chamber
music , masics , operas one of which he took
to the great opera composer Weber for his
approval and Influence to have It performed.
Weber told him that "first operas and
puppies should be drowned" but he stands
at the head of all the world as a writer
of songs. He. died November 19 , 1S2S , at
Vienna , and hH body lies burled bcalde

Chopin
Frederic Francois Chopin was born In a
cottage on the estate of Count Fryderyk
Sharbek. near Warsaw. Poland. Maivh 1 ,
1S09. Like nearly all other greal musicians ,
he evinced early his talent and nt S played
the piano so well that he was looked upon
as a second Mozart. In 1831 ho went to
Parta and henceforth It was hU home.
Chopln'a mental make-up 13 an anomaly
among musicians. Hu bi'loiiRti to no class ;
he Is alone of his kind. He built upon
what had been done hy others , but he used
different material. There is a mysterious
Uhercal clement In his inuyic that none
other possis3tH. It seems aa If when he
.vioto a chord he put a new soul Into It.
He wrote principally for the piano and every
.musical hcmo has been brought under his
magic ftptll. He died on the morning of
October 17. 1849 , it. Parirt.

Fianz Liszt was born October 21 , 1811 , In

Lltszt has been credited as the greatest of all
pianists. He is largely responsible for the
great development of technique- which ban
been the characteristic of piano playing for
the last forty years , nnd not only by his
playing , but by hU numerous compositions
and transcriptions , he contributed much to
this end. Ad a compc er he is not among
the greate-st , but the world owes him a
nover-to-be-pald debt for his widespread In-
llucnce in the caiwe of good music. anJ
especially for his untlrliift elforts In bringing
befoto the public the music-dramas of Rich
ard Wagner. He died at lUyreiith , July
31. 1S36. and lies beside his grcut friend In
the little Bavarian village , In thu Mecca
of musical r.rt.

South Omaha News .
Link Rothwcll was tried In police court
yesterday afternoon and sentenced to pay a
flno of $ - ! " . and costs for trespassing on the
property of the Block yards company. At
torney Patrick , for the defendant , at once
attempted to have his client released on a
writ of habeas corpus , but did not succeed ,
and Rothwell was taken to the county jail
to spend Sunday.
This Is the first case of trespass of any
importance which has come up In the courts
here , and the people generally were con
siderably Interested In the outcome. For
some time past the exchange has been over
run with fakirs of all kinds , who Induced
cattlemen to cross to this side of the
tracks , where they were fleeced of their
money , and Rothwell was alleged to be of
this class by the stock yards management.
General Manager Habcock of the Stock
Yards company decided to prevent this class
of people from lounging about the exchange
building or yards , and caused the arrest of
Rothwell hi order to make a test of the
ordinance. City Attorney Montgomery pros
ecuted the case , and , Instead of charging
Rothwcll with trespass under the ordinance
which was passed some years ago. the com
plaint was drawn under a provision of the
statutes. It Is asserted by Attorney Patrick
that the ordinance Is not good and will
not hold. The record behind the ordinance
is defective , inthat it was passed , with
several others , under a suspension of the
rules , and the mlniito book docs not show
any alllrmat'vo vote on this particular or
dinance , which Is necessary In cases where
a penalty Is attached.
City Attorney Montgomery Is satisfied
that the general law against trespass will
bo sufficient In such cases , or at least until
another ordinance can be drawn and passed
which will bo legal.
In his address to the court Attorney
Montgomery gave notice that ho Intended
to go right ahead and proseeiue every cano
ot trespass called to Ills attention , in order
to keep such characters away from the
stock yards and the city. Officials of the
Stock Yards company arc also determined to
protect stockmen , and Mr. liubcoclc said
yesterday that bo would. If necessary , put
on six or more special policemen for the
purpose of chasing swindlers off the
grounds ,
