AN ITALIAN BRIGAND Pirtro
Gaspero1e, the renowned brigand
chief, expired the other day in an
asylum for the poor near Naples,
aged ninety More than half centu-
" ago the inhabitants OF his native
province conferred the so;,briquet OF
''The Terror of tha AbruzzI' upon
him. He positively re#eled in crime.
When q mere STRIPPING Of nineteen
he took to bri ganduge on account OF
a disappointment lii love. At that
time he had spent three years rs a
cowherd in the service Of a wealthy
farmer. Of whose only daughter he
became enamored The immediate
result was Gasperone dismissal, to
revenge which he joined a predatory
association, of which he subsequent
ly became president, and persuaded
his comrades to join him In a raid
upon his unkind masters family and
property. In this expedition he slew

he succeeded in inspiring the Abruz-
ri population with such abject fear
that no one could be induced to be-
tray him throughout his long career.
although the Neapolitan Govern
ment at one time offered a reward Of
five thousand ducats for his head.
As soon, however, as his physical
powers began to fail him, he surren-
dered himself voluntarily, contrlvlng
to make terms with the authorities
upon the assurance that a full par
would be granted to him. During
the last ten years of his life, spent
in the asylum above referred to, he
is said to have written his memoirs,
to be published after his death under
the the title, The Experiences of a
! Neapolitan Patriot from the Year
1911 to the Close of the Franco

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.-

HONESTY IS THE BEST PoLICY.-
In the year 1869 there died in Paris
a rich old bachelor, who left his en-
tire fortune to Il poor girl, a seam
| stress. who was, moreover, almost
unknown to hifn. The secret Of the
old man ignoring his friends and
relatives puzzled everybody very
much. The deceased was what
might be called an original. He
was quite eccentric. In order to
test the honesty of his fellow-crea-
lures he was in the habit Of resortiny
to many curious experiments. which,
as a general thing. did not improve
the bad opinion he already had of
the human race. One Of his plans
to ascertain how many honest peo-
pie there were travelling In omni-
buses was to occupy the seat near
est the conductorand hand the fare Of
the passengers to that official. Instead
Of handing the exact fare to the con-
ductor he would give the conductor
a coin Of larger value. When the
passenger received back the excessive
change, Ill fifteen consecutive in
ces, he quietly rocketed the money.
The sixteenth person who received
back the excessive change was a
young girl, poorly dressed, who had |
pity on the poor conductor, who on
ly got three francs a day, and would |
have to make good the loss. She
immediately exclaimed: Conductor,
YOU have given NE back too much
change, and returned him the sur
olus- money. The eccentric was
oegreeabIy surprised. When the girl
eft the bus he followed her, and
having made further inquiry about
ler, satisfied himself; that she was re-
pactable The small coin that the
girl returned to the conductor made
ler the heiress of half million
francs.

famous husband many years before
she became his wife. When travel

evening at an isolated chateau and
was obliged to stay there. He soon

silently poured out the tea. She
was advancing towad the stranger
with a cup i'll her hand. when the
lady Of the house again took up the
conversation: you were saying,

the cup the young girl was holding

The LARGEST DIAMOND IN AMER
1cA.-L. 4 NJ. Kahn, jewelers., of 10
Maiden lane, have just imported the
largest diamond ever brought to this
country. It is yet in the rough, and
has the yellowish hue common to
all uncut diamonds. The stone is
African, and weighs 125 carats. 1t
It may be reduced one-third by the
cutting The value Of the jewel
cannot be approximately determined
until after it has been cut, when its
color and full beauty will be re-
vealed. The important question how
it shall be handled SO as to bring out
its beauty in the fullest degree is
now under consideration by experts.
At present the jewel has a faint
blueish streak running through the
centre. But when cut it may prove
to be tinted or pure white. An idea
of the size of this stone may be had
bv one who has not seen it when it
is remembered that the famous koh-
i-noor is 1929 carats, and before
cutting was 1873 carats.

the Curse Of Scotland.

1t has often been asked whv the
nine of diamonds is called the "Curse
of Scotland,' and as an answer has
lately been given by a writer, we NAV.
perhaps, offer something additional of
interest by giving three historical
facts which are ASST gncd as having
caused the saying.
In the distracted state of the conn.
try, during the reign of Mary, one
George Campbell by name ATTEMPTED
to steal the crown out of Edinburob
Castle In this he was unsuccessful
but managed to abstract nine valua.
bic jewels, and escape safely to a for
elgn shore. To replace these a heavy
tax was laid upon the country, which
the poor, oppressed people thought so
great a grievance that they termed it
the curse of Scotland, and the card #
self used to bear the name of Gcoroo
Campbell in the Highlands.
The second explanation relates to
the massacre of Glencoe The man
date OF this cruel deed was signed bv
the eldest son Of the Earl Of Stair
VINO was at the time Secretary of the
State for Scotland The coat of arms
belonging to the Stair family bears
nine diamonds on its shield and the
people, not daring to sticmatize the
Ma ter OF Stair as the curse Of Scot
land, applied it to his coat Of arnts.
The last explanation relates to the
battLe Of Culloden. which extinguish-
ed the hopes of the Stuart party, and
was at the time considered ma
tlonal curse. The Duke of Cumber-
land, who was known to have been
Il gambler, is said to have had pack
OF cards III his pocket; and when he
had won the famous field. he took
out the nine Of diamonds and wrote
his account Of the victory on it.
A BRIDGE OF SIGns.-A person
writing from Venice says: I'm the
course of our wanderings through
the palace our guide took us across
the Bridge Of Sighs, leading from
the palace to the prison opposite. 1t
is tradition that no prisoner who
has passed this bridge ever returned,
Or indeed was ever heard of after
ward Whether this Is true or not.
it IS in keeping with the reputation
which the Venetian Republic has
obtained, and eae does not eare to
dispute the assertion. Republics can
be as desPotic nonarcllies or en-
pires. and certainly the Republic of
Venice can boast little of the free
dom of it's people. The Bridge of
Slghs IS more interesting when
viewed externally, although there is
gland about it. It is SIM
nh q Short covered corridor across a
Harrow canal, connecting the two
buildings at the second story. There
is a wall through the center, inter-
nally, dividing the bridge into two
passages, one Of which led to the pris-
ons of political offenders, and the
other to the cells of the common
criminals The former has served to
give this bridge it's unusual interest,
for no romance can be predicated
upon the fate of those convicted by
law of crime. Possibly the 'Childe
Fharold' has had as much to do with
the renown of this bridge, as the
Merchant of Venice" has had with
the Rialto, for you cannot pass either
without quoting something from By
ron or Shakespeare"

MAXEY SPEAKS.
He Pronounces in Favor of Tariff Reform
and Against Tilden.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-United States Sena-
tor B. Maxey, of Texas, is at the Leland
with his wife and niece, on his way to visit
the Wisconsin watering places, where he
proposes to pass couple of weeks. The
senator is regarded in the senate as one of
the strongest men from the south. He
does not speak very often, but when he
does he is listened to with attention. In
conversation, he said that there was very
little political talk yet in Texas. Texas
Democrats had no preference as to candi-
dates, but were willing to accept
and support any good and honest
Democrats whom the Northern wing of
the party had to offer. He did not believe
Tilden was practicability. The time to
have presented his case to the people for
Judgment was past. 1t might have been
done in 1880. The senator could not say
whether the Democratic party would pro-
nounce for tariff reform next year, but she
said it certainly ought to
be so. There was nothing to gain
by dodging the issue. These Democrats
who had come out fearlessly on that issue
had more on it, as instanced by the cleo
tion of Frank Hurd in Ohio and William
M. Morrison in Illinois. The masses of
the people, especially in the west, are un-
questionably exercised about this question
and would not tolerate any trimming. The
late tariff bill which passed congress did
not by any means satisfy tariff reformers.
The only Democratic senator who voted
for it was Mcpherson, of New Jersey,
The matter would be taken up again this
year and if it would the responsibility
would not rest with the Democrats. He
did not believe Mr.. Randall would get any
votes from Texas, because his views on
this question did not find any supporters
among the Democrats of this state.

Gentlemen Now and in the Past.

What is a gentleman? It is a very
old question and has been answered in
very different ways, but it is clear that
the word at least has a relative and
not an absolute meaning, as some in
sist, and that it varies with the times.
Here is what Lord Chesterfield says,
which the members of the Four-in-
Hand Club will read with interest:
"a gentleman always attends even to
the choice of his amusements. If at
cards he will never play cribbage, all
fours or putt; or in sports of exercise
be seen at skittles, leap-frog, football,
cricket, driving of coaches, ETC., for he
knows that such an imitation of the
manners of the mob will indelibly
stamp him with vulgarity." In another
of his letters to his son he says: "There
are liberal and iil-liberal arts. Scot
tish drunkenness, indiscriminate glut-
tony, driving coaches, rustic sports,
such as fox-chases, horse-races, etc.,
are infinitely below the honest and in
dustrious professions of tailor and a
shoemaker" And yet people who call
themselves gentlemen do most of these
things nowadays, and even those who
are not gentlemen consider themselves
as such in consequence of doing some
of them Between Lord Chesterield's s
ideas and Mr.. Tennyson's on the SUBJ
iect, who is to decide Pail Mall
