SAVED BY CORTE.
Interview With the Italian
Consul at New Orleans.
An Uprising of His Countrymen
Prevented by Him.

Otherwise Mayor Shakespeare, Messrs.
Parkerson and wiCkliHe and other
Leaders Against the Italians in the
Crescent City Would Have Been Assas-
sinated-His Alleged Recall.
New ORLEANS, May 15.-In an inter
view with reporter Wednesday Signor
Corte said:
Let me tell you that l have saved
Mayor Shakespeare's life. And have
done the same service to Mr.. Parkerson
and Mr. Wickliffe and other leaders. |
tell you this confdentially. DO not use
the information until l have left for
Italy. But, bah; let il go. You may
say it to-day. The day after the killing
there was an almost uncomfortable de-
termination among certain of my coun-
trymen to kill the mayor and all those
who had had hand in the butchery.
But | restrained their hands. / con
trolled the furious men. told them to
beware. said that if any harm befell
those gentlemen | would Immediately
and unreservedly denounce the perpe-
traitors of the deed. This firm stand
checked them, and / succeeded in hold
ing them with the promise that would
do everything i'll my power to obtain
justice, redress and satisfaction in the
proper and legitimate manner, arbitra-
ton and other diplomatic measures be-
tween the two governments"
Mr.. Corte paused for a couple of min
utes then he resumed: II have every
confidence in the saying, 'All's we'll that
ends we'll. The future has peace and
cordial entente in store,
His Alleged Recall.
Speaking on the subject of his sum-
mons to Rome, Consul Corte said:
Relative to my alleged call as the
consular agent of the Italian govern
ment during the stirring events which
have led to the exchange of diplomatic
courtesies between my government and
that of the United States, am about
the only credited Italian who is to Off
cially testify in person at Rome relative
to the unfortunate affair and the num-
berless complications which have origin
ated therefrom. My testimony, sup
ported by documents which | have care
fully drawn up touching every and even
the slightest detail of the affair, is re.
quired at home.
'My chief desires my presence. He
has summoned me and | am about to
ob9y. At any rate, why should be re-
called? Because | have expressed my
opinion as an Italian upon the barbarity
of the acts complained OFF God forbid
that, as gentleman and free agent, in
free country, and. officially, the repre-
sentative of one of the European pow
ers, | should be taken to task for having
the courage to express an opinion upon
matters vital to the dearest sentiments of
my countrymen."
Relative to his near departure for Italy
Mr. Corte said that he could not leave
until he had heard from Signor Poma
The latter, who is in Boston, had been
telegraphed to in order to let Mr.. Corte
know when he would be in New Or
leans.

SWlTCHMEN DISCHARGED

and Northwestern.
CHICAGO. May 15.-At precisely Z a. IN.
Thursday morning every switchman in
the employ of the Chicago and North
western Railroad company-200 in this
city and 300 employed at points along the
line-was discharged and paid off. The
company chose this hour as the most
convenient to notify both the day and
night men that their services would no
longer be required The road has been
preparing for this action during the past
two months, and for every man dis
charged there was another ready to take
his place.
Yardmastc1 Frank McInery, whose
discharge the switchmen demanded and
enforced by a tie-up during General
Manager Whitmans illness six weeks
ago, was reinstated and took charge of
the new men. The company say that
Mclnery was never really discharged.
His name has never been taken off the
pay rolls of the company, but his posi-
ton has remained vacant, as he has re-
manned away from his work pending the
trouble starting on his account.
Tired of Being Dictated To.
Mr.. Whitman said Thursday morning
that the company would no longer put
up with the state of things that has ex-
listed during the past three years and it's
action isa practical demonstration of the
Company's intention to run its own bus
mess. On account Of the men being al
ways ready to strike on the slightest
provocation the train service has been
unsatisfactory to the public and to the
company itself and now he proposes to
put stop to it,
Engineers won't Strike.
A few weeks ago, after the trouble
caused by Yardmaster McInerny, a can
vass was made Of the .07t locomotive en-
gineers in the employ of the Northwest
ern by representatives of the company.
Every man promised to stand by the
company in case strike or lockout
should be inaugurated. They sympa-
thi2ed with McInerny The officials of
the company say this is not fight
against the Switchmens union. Their
men, as in many other yards. have fre-
quently quit work without moments
warning and without the sanction of the
union. The company will probably hire
men without discrimination, but will
not be dictated to any longer,

The MISSION OF AN ORGAN


Cal0ou.
Keeper.
Some one with a cottage
moved intoa house next a saloon ~
house was double and the saloon sas
the parlor adjoined. so that what ,rsna
pired in n place could be nlairI-
heard in the other.
Now it occurred that a sweet ebild :,
the lady possessing the organ died ans
the fat, wheezy landlord professss
much sympathy, but it did not extend
any further after the little boys burial
than the next Saturday night. when ]
number of rough drinking men me, n
the saloon to have some violin mpsio
and as the nature Of the pieces beir,
rendered was anything but soul.sootb,
ing the poor, lonely-hearted motbe-
wrung her hands in anguish and won.
dered what she could do.
Then she thought of the organ ana
going over softly to it she raised tbs
lid and began playing the well-known
tune of Martyr, and as she played Sic
sang;
Jesus, Lover OF my soul.
Let me TO Thy bosom fy;
While the raging pillows roll
While the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O. my Saviour hide,
TIL the storm Of life Is past;
Safe into the haven guide,
on. receive my soul al last.r
She had played but one verse Of thu
sweet hymn when all became quiet in
the barroom, and the lady felt sure
from the solemn hush that they were
all listening. Then she lifted up a q.
lent prayer that the hymn she was
playing might prove a lasting blessing;
and so God ordained, for when the ladv
ceased playing, sobbing ready to break
her heart, all the shutters Of the saloon
were closed and the place was shut for
the night.
The next evening the saloon keeper
sent in w lady memb ers Of his family
TO beg the lady to play and sing:
Jesus Lover OF my SOUL
Wonderingly, the lady complied
StiA o strange, he sent in again
and again for the same, until both the
music and the words became SO
monotonous, that the lady longed for
something else just for a change.
But the organ, together with the
sweet words. accomplished their
mission. The hard heart was soft
ened, and the saloon keeper found him
sely longing TO be able to make those
words the sweet prayer of his W
heart In the midst Of these new.
strange desires, he was taken sick
He then sen for a preacher to pray for
him. and tried TO make preparations
for death.
During his death-agonv, the lady
who owned the organ said to him:
For God SO loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son. that who
should believe on Him, might
not perish, but have everlasting life"
''oh, yes" he replied: Il know all
that, but | am so tired, so tiredn-and
so he died. 1t is TO be hoped that the
man was saved, for he repented and :
believed. and God is very merciful
The mar left a will ordering that his
be closed forever, and that his
children should always attend church
and Sunday-school. One more less
