They Found H!arl.

a romantic story comes from Venice.
A young Englishplan appeared every
morning in the tobacco divan of Signor
Alberti, bought the most expensive
cigars, gave presents to the beautiful chop
girl, and, 80 far as his faulty command Of
the Italian tongue allowed, paid assiduous
court to her. Subsequently he presented
her with his visiting card, on which was
engraved Lord Rodney. He told her that
he was staying at the Grand Hotel and
hired the entire first etage, and was dying
for love of her. He asked her to be his
wife, but wished that the marriage should
be performed secretly and Immediately,
because he feared that il his aristocratic
kinsfolk in England gained any knowledge
OF his intentions they would move heaven
and earth to hinder the union.
The young Lady told the story to her
employer, and Signor Albert prndently
enough went 10 the Grand Hotel, made
inquiries, and foand that all the servants
spoke of the generosity and wealth Of the
English nobleman. He advised her to
accept the splendid offer, and day was
fixed for the marriage. AS the young
lord did not turn up ut the appointed time
Signor A1berti and the lady went to the
hotel to find him. /; They found him in g
white cravat cleaning his masters boots.

TOPEKA, KAN, May l5.--A destructive
cyclone struck the northern part OF this
county yesterday and swept away por-
tion of the town of MerIden. About 10
O'Clock in the morning a very black cloud
came up suddenly from the southeast,
sweeping through the eastern portion OF
the town, and did its fearful work in al.
most a moment. A large number of
buildings we're destroyed Eighteen or
twenty persons were hurt, twosOr three Of
whom were probably fatally injured. Seve-
raj persons whowere outdoors went sailing
through the air. One of these was dropped
against a barbed wire fence and seriously

GERMAN TYRANNY.
Public Meetings of all Kinds Must

Public Meetings of all Kinds Must
be Held by Police Permission.
BERLIN, May I5.--General surprise has
been caused by the publication in Die
Reichs Anzeiger of a decree forbidding
the holding ofpublic meetings in Berlin
and Potsdam, and their environs, without
police authority, and stating that permis-
sion must be asked f0rty-eight hours in
advance OF the time when IL is proposed 10
hold a meeting. The decree is issued un-
der the provisions Of the Socialist law.
Die National Zeitung denounces the de-
cree. IL 10 not, the Ieitung says, aimed at
Socialists alone. 1t empowers tue police
TO regulate or suppress conference Of
any political party obnoxious TO the gov
eminent. Such an Interpretation OF the
auti-Socialistlaw was never intended. The
paper says, when the bill was passed the
police even before the publication Of the
decree had been empowered to
dissolve Socialist reunions on the mere
declaration Of the presiding commissary
Of police. ''lt is probable" adds the
ZeituuR, ''that the government aims at
restricting labor meetings, which are be-
coming rile."
The decree finds no support In any
paper. The government organs are silent
on the subject, and others concur in the
opinion that IL the police suppress
meetings Of workingmen called
Tor the purpose Of discussing the
question OF wages their action will ex-
asperate the worklngmen and induce
a Socialist reaction under the conviction
that the government is supporting capt
talists. The labor uprisIngs IN Belgium
and America are assigned AS the cause OF
the governments action In Issuing the
decrees.
