the following:
About eighteen months ago the firm

established in the boot and shoe trade
on the Pacific coast for the last fifteen
years, decided to establish branch Of

any bank or business man can testify.
For the past six months we have en-
deayorcd to influence our landlord to
reduce our rent in accordance with
the times. Not being successful in
doing so, we have decided TO retire
from mercantile business at this
point, at the same time regretting TO
do so.

Inventor of the Maxim Gun
Will Assist in Producing

ROME, July pa remarkable trag-
cdy, growing out Of disappointment in
love, has just occurred at Catanzaro,
in Calabria A cavalry officer named
Scandazza fell in love with Virginia
Gautiers, the daughter Of a land
owner whose mansion was situated
opposite the barracks. His affection
was returned, and though for some
time the lovers could communicate
only by signs from their respective
residences, way was in time found
for closer wooing.
The acquaintance had existed two
years when, 20 Nirgnia's dismay and
the uncomfortable grief Of the lieu
tenant, the young lady's father
ordered her to marry a rich ncighbor.
The command was Obeyed. On the
day Of the wedding Scandazza stood at
the window Of the barracks imploring
Virginia, 10y his gestures, 70 revolt at
the last minute and disregard her
fathers order. Nirginia's final reply
was to press "a lemon between her
hands, local way of indicating that
all was over.
ScandazZa raycd like maniac,
rushed TO his room, barricaded the
| door. and as the wedding party was
leaving the residence he opened fire
/ upon them. The first shot struck and
/ killed Nirginia's married sister, who
was soon % have become mother. A
| second bullet took effect i'm the brides
/ head, inllicting severe wound. The
/ procession dispersed In terror and a
/ crowd Of citizens soon gathered and
attacked the barracks, determined TO
| wrcak vengeance upon the murderer.
While they were clamoring for his
surrender he rcOpcncd fire, wOunding
| several persons. The officers OF the
/ barracks finally succeeded in forcing
| the door, but, as they did so, he dis
charged his weapon and blew his own
/ brains out. On learning his fate the
angry pOpulace retired Virginia will
] recover from her wound
