NEW ORLEANS VENDETTA.

Forty More Italians Arrested-They
Arrived From Chicago.
New ORLEANS, October 90 Police
last night arrested forty odd Italians
at the grocery of Carlos Graffilos,
corner Bergundy and Conte streets.
The officers noticed large number of
Italians dropping into the place in
two's or three's, and believing some-
thing was wrong, forced their way in
and found a man addressing the
crowd in italian.
AS it was an unlawful assembly all
persons present were arrested aud
carried to jail. Meanwhile numbers
of strange Italians were holding a
meeting in the house. This at
tracted crowd around the
place who manifested their
hostility to the foreigners. When
the latter were brought to the station
it was discovered not one of them had
a cent or home of any kind and
that the entire party had arrived here
from Chicago Saturday and had been
told tci inject at Graffios' place. AS
the men could give no explanation of
themselves or why they came to New
Orleans or met at Graffios' house
they were locked up at the
police station charged with being
dangerous and suspicious characters.
The police also arrested Manuel Pi-
etro, whom they charge not only with
being one of the men engaged in the
assassination of Chief Hennesey, but
virtually the man who fired the fatal
shot. They claim to have the case In
excellent condition; that the MUIR
derers have been arrested and there is
sufficient evidence to convict them.
According to their view of the matter
the murder was ordered by the
Matrapgas, who are the heads of 3
Sicilian gang. Joe Macheca, under
the name Of John Peterson, then
leased the MAESTRO house. from which
the assassins watched Hennesey and
finally fred on him. The murder, it
is said, was committed by 6 or Z men,
Of whom Schaffidi, Mastro, Cagnetto,
Incardera and Pietro are 5, the other
man or men is not yet discovered.
All other italian prisoners except
some few who are regarded as I'M
portant witnesses or accessories 70
the crime have been released. More
evidence was found against Macheca,
he being ident titled by the two negro
women who lived next to the MAESTRO
house as having been seen by them
at the house just before the murder.
In his statement he declared he was
never in that portion of the city. He
is now identified by two white and
two colored women as having leased
having been frequently seen In that
neigh borhood.

here, as he went on again, all was peace.
The silver moonlight shimmered on the
water. There was not a whisper or murmur
along those lofty and solitary cliffs. A
cold wind blew from the north, coming over
the bare uplands; but it brought no sound
of any bird or beast. His shadow was his
sole compaDion-vague and indefinite on
the grass but sharper and blacker on the
gray and frosted road. He was alone, and
he wished to be alone; and il certain phrases
from the Claire Fountaine would come fol-

have shaken himself free from the enmities
and the treacheries and ingratitudes/ that
lay fostering in yonder town.
Next morning broke bright and clear, for
the north wind had blown freshly all the
night, and swept the smoke of the town
right out to sea, where it lay along the
horizon as soft saffron-reddish cloud. Ac-
cordingly the sky overhead was of sum-

at a window of the hotel, looking absently
out on the wide and empty thoroughfares.
A waiter brought him note. He glanced
at the handwriting with startled eyes, then
tore the envelope open. This was what he
read:

He did not waste time on further ques-
tions. In couple of seconds he was out

sure enough-far below him-out on the
breakwater-was a solitary figure that he
instantly recognized. He went quickly
down the steps, he did not stay toask what
this might mean, or to prepare himself in
any way; as he approached her, all his anx-
iety was to know if her eyes were kind-or
hostile. Well, they were neither; but there
was a certain pride in her tone as she
spoke.
"viucent, you were angry with me last
night. Why?"
"Maisrie," said he, "why don't you put
up that furred collar round your neck? It's
so cold this morning. See, let me put it up

waited for him to answer her question.

CHAPTER XIV.
CUPIp's QUICK RETURN.


Old George Bethune, his daughter Maisrie,
and the agitated Vincent took up the walk
homeward and for a few seconds not
word was spoken. But when they
got into the Marine Parade, the moon
came into view, away over there in the east;
it was at the full, but rather dusky, for the
north wind had blown the smoke Of the
town down on the sea front.
"Did you notice how clear the moon was
last night?" she said, to break this embar-
RAISING silence.
Eyes, did," he said. ST was walking
about a good deal last night The moon
light was beautiful on the water"
"Oh, were you down In Brighton last
night?" she asked, rather breathlessly.
"Yes."
That was all. She did not dare to ask
what had brought him down; and he did
not choose to invent an excuse. Again they
walked on tor little while in silence, until
they reached the corner of German Place.
"Well, good nightp said George Bethune,
holding out his hand. "Quite surprise to
meet you-quite surprise. Hope we shall
see you again before you go back"
And now it was Maisrie's turn.
"Good night, Vincent" che said, with
her eyes seeking his in mute appeal.
"Good night" said he; and he did not re-
spond to that look; so these two parted.
And soon, as he walked aimlessly onward,
he WAS away from the town altogether. To
him it was hateful place-with Its con-
trareties, its disappointment its distracting
problems in human nature. When he
turned to look at it, it was like some vast
and dusky pit, with a dull, red glow shin

COIN AMONG SAVAGEs.
The Blacks Of Africa Have Changed Front
ON the Bits of Shining Metal

The Blacks Of Africa Have Changed Front
on the Bits Of Shining Metal
New ork SUM-.
Only three or four years ago the natives
at Daf es Salaam, south of Zanzibar, re-
fused to take coin in payment for work they
were doing on road that the whites were
building. They said these shining bits of
metal were useless to them, and they wanted
beads. cloth, and other articles which had
some value.
Last week steamer leaving Hamburg
had on board large quantity of copper and
silver coin destined for these very natives
and their brethren along the coast. They
have seen much of the whites, and have
come to learn that these little coins have
wonderful potency in the purchase of the
good things OF life. 1t is the intention of
the German East African Company, who
have had these coins made to spread the use
of small change not only along the coast,
but far into the interior.
It will be happy day indeed for the
traveller in inner Africa when he can buy his
goats, bananas and other articles of food
with silver from his pocket instead of hiring
hundreds of porters to carry the bulky arti-
cles that have heretofore been the money of
that region. We see this sign OF progress
not only i'll German East Africa, but iurther
north IN the territory of the British Imperial
East Africa Company. They are introducing
good deal of coin into their land, and the
natives are taking very kindly to the inno-
vatlon. On the Congo, also, the natives are
getting accustomed to the silver and copper
money.

eyes were ayerted again, that is the last

man will ever come between you and me.
No man will ever take your place in my re-
gard-and-and esteem"
''Is that all, Maisrie?" he said, gently,
but in truth that sudden revelation had left
him all trembling and breathless and over
joyed. He was almost afraid to speak to
her, lest she should withdraw that unspoken
avowal.

THE INDICATOR OF PROSPERITY.
The Diamond Market is as good an index
to the state of prosperity in the community
as the Clearing House. the real estate or the
receipts and shipments by rail. It's a
better index to the physical condition of the
community at large. If then, as the au-
thorities tell US, good health is preferab BILE to
a fat bank account the Diamond Market is
more important than the whole system of
banks. 1t may be just as well to remember,
however, that the two in combination are
rather better than either one alone.
Many people have, no doubt, wondered
where all of the food comes from that is con-
sumed here. That THE DISPATCH might
throw some light on this subject visit was
paid to the market houses and a multitude
Of questions asked. In a general way it
may be said that North, South, East and
West are called on to help US live, and we
in turn furnish every section with the prod
ucts OF our workshop in exchange.
WHERE THE FISH COME FROM.
Fresh water and salt water join hands,
fguratively speaking, in the market house

scallops and smelts from bean-eating Boston.
They are three DAYS on the road fron the

where. A great deal of the meat handled
about the Diamond Market is killed and
dressed in the absttoirs about the city.
Rolls of butter, tubs Of butter, cakes Of
butter and masses of butter greet the eve OF
the visitor to the West Diamond Market
House. The variety in quality is even
greater than the variety in package. This
butter comes from the dairies of Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York and West
Virginia and from the farmhouses Of the
counties of Allegheny, Washington, West
moreland, Beaver, Lawrence and Butler.
Country butter is Q great favorite at this
season and all through the winter, but
creamery has the call during the summer
months. Butterine and oleo, of course, are
prohibited. though there be those who say
they go" all the time.
SHE WANTED IT GOOD.
Butter is an article in universal demand,
and one in which there is probably more
cheating than any half dozen other things.
But there are some queer people who buy 1t.
Thus, while the writer was talking to one OF
the bright salesmen behind a grocery
counter in the market house, there entered
Q large, raw-boned woman who inquired:
SCOT any real good butter to-day?"
The clerk politely replied they had, and
proceeded to show her a couple of rolls
taken from a large pile.
"Oh, no, you don't, young man. You
can't sell me any of that stuff. I just looked
at about ton of it down stairs. don't
want butterine, want butter-good butter
from cows milk"
Eyes, ma'am," said the clerk, laying one
roll on the top of the pile from which it had
been taken and dexterously juggling the
other from one hand to the other, as he
stopped behind the counter. He came up
again, almost instantly, with a pleasant
smiIe-and roll of butter. He fondled the
yellow roll carefully and said, "Please look
at this kind, madam"
EASY CHANGE IN QUALITY.
Madam did look. She looked pleased.
Madam tasted and looked wise. Madam
priced it and looked savage. Madam bought
and looked contented. Madam gathered up
her butter and looked triumphant and as
she turned to walk away she told the inof-
fensive pencil-pusher there was nothing like
watching these trades people, if zone didn't
want inieriss, adulterated stuff forced on
him all the time. Madam strobe ay and
looked superior.

Perhaps she began TO see little.

He pushes his way around with pail

particularly the farmers. His remedy is the
evaporated salts of some lake or other which
he has packed in little tin boxes, to be

and many of his farmer friends agree with
him. He is quite a character about the
