MOntS-de.Piete.


As far back as the first half of the fif-
teenth century, charitable persons in
Italy, touched by the msfortunes of the
eighty per cent. to the money lenders,
formed fund for loaning on valuables
without interest. This was the origin
of the now famous mOnt-de-piete. Pc
rugia, according to some, had the honor
of the first esta Olishment. One in Flor
ence, in 1892, met with fierce opposi-
ton. The Lateran Council. in 1889,
recognized the usefulness of its opera
tions by solemn approval. In time a
small rate, rarely exceeding five per
cent, came to be charged, to cover the
cost of operation. Paris did not pos
sess a moft-de-p ;etc until January, 1778.
Three years later it was authorized to
make loan, guaranteed by the hopital
general, Operations were suspended
during the Reign of Terror. to be re-
sumed again in 1903. The adn1inistra-
tive council were placed in charge id
1881, while in 1851 a select committee
was created to manage matters. There
were forty-siX montS-ae-piete through
out the whole of France in 1876. They
are created by decree of the President
of the Republic and the approval of the
local Municipal Council. The funds
for conducting the business are provided
in various ways. The naoats-de- piete
themselves secure the larger portion
through loans on the securities they
hold, the balance comes from charita-
BILE concerns. 1t would appear that
they meet with no difficulty in this di-
rection, owing to the high credit they
are said to possess. In 1851 the capital
employed in the various French estab-
lshments was nearly 80, 10000 francs,
of which Paris absorbed 100000.
These amounts had grown in 1876 to 49,
OOO,O 200 and $4,000 respectively. In
1851 the loans in France were 81 SOC. 900
francs on 100000 articles deposited.
In 1876 over 77,0OO,0 900 francs were
loaned to 1000, 900 borrowers; of this
number 2,744,611 redeemed their
pledges. Loans in 1.O56 ,046 cases were
renewed by the payment of interest.
while 100000 pledges were sold. The
French law, like the law of New York.
stipu ates that when the article realizes
an amount in excess of the sum loaned,
it shall 90 to the original owner. 1t is
instructive to note that of the owners of
the 100000 pledges $4,000 came for
ward to claim the balance Of the value
OF their property, the amountpaid them
being in excess of S45, 900 francs. In
1875 tn. amount of such money left I'M
claimed in the moaats de- pieie was 3S2,-
327 francs, which formed q largo por-
ton of the total profits. The full amount
due on unclaimed pledges in 1873 was
4,465, 495 francs. They brought l., 1885,

Corning, o., All Torn Up Over The Recent

I COLUMBUS, o., March 6.
The trouble over the McDevitt abduc-
tion at Corning is getting worse. Every
turn of affairs seems to irritate it, till there
is danger of violence. Andy McDevitt,
who promised the mob last Sunday night
that he would never set foot in the town
again, returned yesterday accompanied by
his friends carrying rifles. McDevitt was
given royal reception. Fully 1000
people met him at the depot and
escorted him to his store, where
he held an ovation during the
day, but did not remain in the town over
night, He and Father B. M. O'Boylan
have, however, not as yet been in the
town at the same time since last
Sunday The reverend father left for
New Lexington on the train rsevious
to McDevitt's arrival, expecting to re-
turn on the next train, but when he
saw the McDeyitt party on the cars he
did not board it, and remained at the
County Jail with the members of his
congregation, who are under arrest. The
case of Father O'Boylan was postponed

more warrants, making twenty-six in all,
with more to follow. @ To complicate the
present desperate social condition of this
mining region, four arrests were made
for the lynching of Richard Hickey, two

have Andy McDevitt indicted for killing

So important is grass as part of a pigs

near the pig house, that it may be cut

cannot afford to raise pigs on corn and
