with the recent lynching of eleven
members of the Infamous ''Mafia :
society at New Orleans.
When Baron Fava, the late Ital-
ian minister called on Mr.. Blaine to
present his letter Of recall, he, after
protesting the greatest admiration
and personal friendship for the Sec
rotary, began an audacious and
abusive harangue about the neglect
Of this government to take proper
steps to satisfy the demands Of
Italy He was quickly interrupted
by Mr.. Blaine and informed in
polite but unnlistakable language
that he could not proceed further.
He then very quietly withdrew and
is still in Washington, though no
Longer minister.
The attitude of the President and
the cabinet in dealing with this bit
of italian bulldozing is commended
on all sides; they have just gone
quietly about their duties just as if
nothing had occurred. It was de-
cided as soon as the matter was laid
before the Cabinet that our minis
ter to Italy should not be recalled,
unless there was something more
tangible to base such action upon
than the silly recall of the italian
minister to this country.
Nobody for a moment thinks that
italy wants to fight the United
States couldn if she was ever
so anxious, for the best of reasons,
she hasn't the money or credit nee
essary to make her really powerful
navy effective on this side Of the
Atlantic. At first il was believed
that the italian Government was
only adopting this sensational me
thod of getting rid Of it's minister
here, and many well informed PEG
pie are still Of that opinion but
Baron Fava told a personal friend,
an Americanized Italian, that such
was not the case, and that his
government was only DESTROYS of
emphasizing it's dissatisfaction with
the United States Government be
cause it would not promise to pay
an indemnity to the families Of the
Italians lynched and to guarantee
that the lynchers should be proper
ly punished--two impossibilities,
even if the evidence were ever so
plain that any Of the lynched men
were italian subjects.

snenk WEN of Ladies.

Speak Well of Ladies'.
There is q striking difference
between reputation and charac-
ter that is sometimes overlook
ed. Reputation is what people
think Of you and character Isl
what you are. A mans repu-
tation is often made up from the
character Of those who Judge
him. Their characters are often
black and they measure their
fellow-man in their own half
bushel and give him a reputa-
ton accordingly. His charac-
ter, however, is something that
no one can mould, except by
influences and surroundings
that develop and control his
| life.
There is a tendency at the
present day among a certain
class of men to give ladies a
reputation that corresponds ex
actly with their own characters.
They will stand upon the street
corners and other public places
and make evil remarks about
every lady that passes by. This
is a very reprehensible habit
and one that no man should in
dulge in. A gentleman regards
it incumbent upon him to speak
well of ladies. He takes SUI
preme delight in saying pleas
ant things of them and will
never attempt to tarnish theil
regulations by innuendo, or 9th
erwise.
i Ii always gives us a pool
opinion of a man to hear hin
speak evil of ladies. To a goot
