AN ITALIAN PROTEST.
IN Enthusiastic Meeting Held in Phila-
delphia.

PHILADELPHIA, July 23.-About 1900
Italians assembled in Kelly's hall this
afternoon to protest against statements
that had been made that they were a
pauper class, and that the recently ap-
pointed congressional committee proposes
to investigate the matter.
After listening to addresses by Angelo
Astartica and Nicholas Connforti of New
York and others, the following resolutions
were presented, with a long introduction
In Italian, and went through with rush:
First-This meeting condemns the action
OF the Italian societies of immigration IN
humiliating the name of Italy as the land
OF slaves and padrones.
Second-That we, oteying the laws of
this glorious republic, pray and hope no
law OF Ostracism viii be passed against our
immigration, as it is contrary to liberty
and the civilization Of this country.
The circular which called the meeting
together has a flavor Of revolutionary Ian
puage d bout it and reads:
Italians: The moment to show ourselves
united for the common honor of the Ital-
ians has arrived. The American press has
undertaken war against us, a free peo-
pie Energetic action must be taken with
out loss Of time. Italians of all the colony,
of whatever political opinion, the supreme
moment has arrived. United, with the
name of Italy IN our mouths, let Us pre-
pare for war
Those who will not he in our line will be
against us and against Italy.
The time is short.
Let all societies unite and do their duty
The Italian cavalry company aud the
military companies of the Barsaglieri and
OF the Genlo, composed of street sWeepers,
were TO have marched to the hall in full
uniform, but were not allowed to do 50,
the police refusing to permit an armed
assemblage.

LOUISVILLE, July 23.-There is bitter
fight in progress over the whisky question
at Harlan Court House, KY, which bids
fair to end in bloodshed. County Judge
Lewis believes that great deal of whisky
is being sold in town in spite of the local
prohibitory law. Several grocery men
were tried few days ago on the charge, but
no proof was produced. The arrest an
gered the accused and as Judge Lewis
rode out of town at evening he barely es-
capped being shot by John Farley and then
Lewis rode back into town and assembling
some opponents to the traffic proceeded to
search the store of John Blair and Howard
and others suspected. They found liquor
in the cellar, rolled the barrels into streets
and emptied the contents on the ground.
This was done under guard OF twenty
men with Winchesters Yesterday the
whisky men rallied and the factions en-
countered in the streets A hundred shots
were fred but no one was killed. Five were
carried off badly wounded.

Tho shrine Of Jugrernnut.

Next to Benares, J%agannath, which
is unique in many ways among the holy
places of the Hindoos, attracts the largest
number Of pilgrims from all parts Of
India. The shrine of J%agannath, COM
monty called Juggernaut-literally tbs
Lord of the Universe-stands on the coast
OF Orissa, amid level, burning sands; and
to those who sail up and down the Bay of
Bengal IL appears In the distance like q
vast black obelisk. 1t is built of huge
blocks Of granite, transported with in
credible labor from the neighboring
mountains, and consists of a grotesque
pyramidical structure about $50 feet in
height and a spacious area inclosed by u
lofty wall. Around the wall on the in
side there runs II gallery supported by n
double range of pillars and forming 278
arcades. The four faces Of the pyramid
are covered with sculptured figures Of del
ties, and its apex is crowned with orna-
ments of gilt copper, which flash and gilt
ter in she sun.
The interior of this stupendous struct-
ure, which is in perpetual darkness, is
lighted up by 100 lamps, burning day and
night in front of the idol. The image Is
made of wood, thickly painted and re-
newed every three years when the orig
inal bones of the deifled hero, Krishna,
are removed by a Brahmin from the inside
Of the old idol to that Of the new one.
The priest, during this awful operation,
covers his eyes, lest the sight of such mys.
terious relics should consume him like
lightning. This p~riestly terror, of course,
represses in the minds of the worshipers
ali desire to see Krishna's bones.-London

When a burglar, murderer or other
common Russian felon has been tried,
found guilty and sentenced to penal
servitude, he is, as a rule, released from
the solitary confinement in which he has
been held pending trial, is allowed to
mingle with other prisoners of the
same penal grade, and is forwarded
without unnecessary delay to Siberia.
When, however, a political offender
has beer tried, found guilty and
sentenced to penal servitude under
the same code of laws, he is not released
from solitary confinement, nor sent with
reasonable promptness to Siberia, as he
would be if he had merely killed his
mother with an ak but is thrown into a
bomb proof casemate in what is known
as the ''penal servitude section of the
Petropavlovsk fortress, or into one of the
smaller cells of a central convict
prison. and there lies in solitude and
wretchedness for one, two, three, or
even five years, before he finally goes in
sane or is sent to the convict mines of
Kara.-George KEENAN, in The Century.
