Henry Peters, stevedore, complained
to Mayor Shakespeare yesterday that
the Provenzanos were intimidating his
laborers. He made an affidavit setting
forth the fact, and the Provenzano
brothers were arrested The mayor
wrote to the brothers, Joe and Peter,
who it will be remembered, were
charged by the Rev Father Manoritta
as being at the head of the Malta and
they called upon him. The mayor then
gave them a long lecture, warning them
that their acts of intimidation
must stop. He said he was tired of this
business, that he knew the brothers were
a menace to the peace of the commu-
nifty, that he was aware of the secret
methods by which they worked, but
that he had determined there must for
ever be an end of their intimidation.
The police, he said, would wipe from
the face of the earth every member of
the Provenzano gang who raised his
hand against member of the commu-
nifty.
The Provenzanos had very little to
say, except to protest their innocence,
and left the mayors presence very
much crushed.

Governor Nichols Requested to Ask Italy
to Recall Her Representatives Rt New
Orleans.
New ORLEANS, May 17.-Mayor
Shakespeare yesterday addressed a
letter to Governor Nichols In which
he takes Signor Corte, the Italian con-
sui at this port, severely to task, deny
ing his statement In the controversy in
the recent troubles and calling upon
the governor TO request the recall Of
his exequatur by the President. The
letter is as follows:
"Under date Of May 10th, 1891, the
consul of Italy at this port, Mr. Corte,
saw fit to address TO w. II. Chaffee,
foreman of the grand jury, then in SEES
sion, a very remarkable letter. The
evening of the day on which it was
written the consul sent copies of the let
ter by the hands Of his secretary to the
daily papers for publication. | enclose
printed copy Of that letter.
Your excellency, being a resident in
New Orleans, is fully aware of the fact
that ever since the assassination Of
Superintendent of Police Hennessy on
October 10Th, 1890, the papers have
teemed with all manner of vaporings
from Mr.. Corte In the shape Of inter
views, DC. For these reported sayings
he could not properly be held
as an official responsible, and since
he was scarcely credited with one
statement before another was made,
either exactly the opposite Of or largely
qualifying the first, his vagaries and
blusterings were regarded by all but
his own people as either laughable or
contain .f "a 4,
TO the foreman of the grand jury was
very properly returned by that body to
the writer as being impertinent. Besides
being impairment, the letter contains
statements absolutely false, and beyond
question known to be false by Mr.. Corte.
AN ELEMENT OF DANGER.
off, as Italian consul, Mr.. Corte has
ever had any usefulness here he has
outlived It and has become, through
his own acts, not only an unacceptable
person, but an element of danger to
this community, in that by his utter
ances he incites his infiammable people
to riot or sullen opposition to laws and
customs Of country they have sought
as an asylum. Being the depository, as
he confesses himself to be, Of criminal
secrets relating to the individuals of his
race resident among US, he refuses to
give to the department of police and
justice the information he has and
therby Increases the danger to the COM
munity from these criminals.
"For these reasons l have the honor
to request that you ask of the Honora-
Bile Secretary Of State at Washington
the recall of Consul Corte's exequatur
by the President. This application
would have been made to you sooner
but for the reason that 1 desire to place
in your hands, to accompany your note
to the Secretary of State, a report made
to the mayor and council by the COM
mittce of fifty. l enclose copy and

EaZed by Sophomores.

About 100 Yale sophomores were
hazing some OF the freshmen one
night about eight o'clock. One of
'he freshmen, known as ike was
taken by the ''sophs" into an upper
room in Prokasky's restaurant, in
Center street.
They made him stand on table
and deliver an GRAFTON countenancinp
their proceedings. They then di-
vested him of his coat and vest and
had him roll up his trousers above the
knees. Then a pair Of white, wooden
drawers were drawn over the trousers
and woman'S corset was fastened
about his whist.
He was then compelled to march
barcheaded up Center street, through
Gregson alley, to Chapel street, as far
as Iraeger's saloon. He was pre-
ceded, surrounded and followed by
sophomores, who prevented any &C
cess to him.
They marched him back over the
same route, just before he reached
Gregson alley he tried to escape, but
was unsuccessful. The sophomores
then took him to the place from which
he had started and told him that he
was duly initiated 'Yalensian."

A Feather In His Cap.

This phrase, signifying honor and
distinction, arose from the custom
prevalent among the ancient Syrians,
and perpetuated to this day among
the various savage or semi-civilized
tribes OF Asia and America, OF adding
a new feather to their head-gear for
every enemy slain.
In the days of chivalry, the maiden
knight received his casque featherless,
and won his plums as he had won his
spurs. In a manuscript written by
Richard Hansard in 1895, and pre-
served in the British Museum, it is
said of the Hunsarians that it had
been an ancient custom among them
that none should wear feather but
he who had killed Turk, and to such
only it was lawful to show the number
of feathers in their caps. In Scotland
and Wales it is still customary for the
sportsman who kills his first wood
duck to pluck out n feather and stick
it in his cap.

Have BATS a sixth Sense?

1t seems extraordinary to observe a
number OF bats in the evening flying
back and forth through the trees
with remarkable rapidly, but with
out ever coming in contact with the
branches or hurting themselves.
Spallanzani, the Italian naturalist,
placed bat in a dark Enclosure,
across which were stretched Il number
of threads crossing and recrossing
each other. The bat flew rapidly
back and forth trying to effect its
escape, but avoided the threads with
as much ease as if they had not been
in it's way in the least. Whether this
curious power was the result OF q
sixth and unknown sense was a long
puzzle to naturalists. 10 decide this
knotty point, Spallanzani resorted to
the cruel expedient of binding bat,
and found it still moved among the
threads without being. to all appear
ances, any more Inconvenience than
if it still had its eyesight.
