RELENTLESS JUSTICE HAD ITS WAY.

You are fined five dollars for drunken
ness and five dollars for fighting on the
street," said Justice Duffy to a hard
looking citizen.
Judge" said the tramp, 81 think you
should throw off the five dollars for
drunkenness"
"Why," inquired Judge Duffy, should
throw off the fine for drunkenness9"
Because, Judge, 1 have the instincts
of a gentleman, and before I enter into a
fight it always becomes necessary for me
to get drunk in order to reduce myself to
the level of my opponent. And that,
maintain, Judge, is sufficient punish
ment To get drunk enough to fight is
indeed terrible thing. Judge, did you
ever get drunk and wallow around all
night in the gutter p
mo, sir" answered the Judge Sc
verely, 81 never did"
"Then, sir, it will be utterly impossi-
bic to realize the horrible retribution
which follows a spree-a fighting drunk.
l think, Judge, that you had better let
the punishment of the drunk cancel the
fight. If you'll throw off the fine for
drunkenness, I'll throw off the one for
fighting"
But stern, relentless justice had its
sway, and the victim is now on the
Island. -TerdS Siftings.

THE COST OF COUNTING PIECES Oh
MAIL,

THE COST OF COUNTING PIECES OF
MAIL.
1t is rather astonishing to find that il
has cost the country 100000 year to
count the pieces of mail handled by the
crrriers in the larger towns The
carriers have been required to count
and keep aTecord of all letters delivered:
all postal cards delivered;, all second,
third and fourth-class matter delivered {:
all local letters collected; all mail letters
collected; all local postal cards collected;
all mail postal cards collected; all sec
ond, third and fourth-class matter col
lected, and the total number of pieces
handled, and the total postage on all
local matter collected, and on all local
matter deposited in postofices, includ-
ing that on second, third and fourth
class matter, to the correctness of all of
which the respective postmasters were
required to certify monthly.
There was never any law directing
this to be done, but when the carrier
system was established the work was
ordered and has eyer since been con-
tlnued. This was not large matter in
1864, when there were only 700 carriers,
but now that there are 10000 the thing
appears different. There were 3.297,-
259,696 pieces of mail matter reported
handled in the last fiscal year, and the
Postmaster-General found that the
counting took about 2Ominutes each day
for everyone of the 10000 clerks. The
men are paid about 80 cents an hour,
and so the cost was got at.
The counting never amounted to much,
for it was only collecting of incom-
plete statistics of the postal business,
and Mr.. Wanamaker does the plainly
right thing in simply stopping it and
saying the money. 1t ought to have
been done long ago.-Rutland Herald.

DR.. David Kennedy's Favorito Rene
dy, Of Rondout, y. Y. is known to be a
certain cure for nervousness, debility,
and the ills peculiar to women. This
sovereign remedy stimulates the stom-

urinary organs it has no equal, and a bot
tie, which costs only one dollar, should
be in every house.

Latest from the Scene of the Horrible
Butchery.
A late special from the scene of the re-
cent butchery says:
The condition of affairs here is extremely
quiet, and perfect peace and order prevails
The damage done at the jail is being repair
ed, and an extra force OF deputies are as
sembled in the neighbOrhOod, though there
is no further apprehension Of trouble. The
leaders of the movement are unanimous in
saying that there will be no further trouble
and that the law will be permitted to take
its course in dealing with the five prisoners
who are still to be tried for the killing of
the Chief. Judge Baker, who presided at the
trial, declines to express an opinion about
the occurrences and it is not known yet
whether or not he or his associate, Judge
MARI, will order an investigation by the
State says the law officers will decide if the
laws have been broken, and then, if posi-
bic, the responsible parties will be brought
to justice. The sentiment here, however, is
so overwhelming in approval Of the action
of the leaders that it would be impossible
to convict any one. The chief of police says
very truly that he cannot arrest the whole
community. The better class of Italians
speak cautiously, but may be said to APP
prove what has taken place. The grand
jury met with all its members present
Judge MARI presented the special charge on
the riot and the jury is now Investigating.

The Captain Frocossn says: "The

The Dom Chdsciotte della Md1lcjG re-

instant measures be taken to protect the
Italian colony in New Orleans;" adding,
however: at is just also to recognize the
fact that similar incidents would not Oc-

The Drjtto says: at is the ne plus Ill

A dispatch from Rome states that the
news of the massacre of the italian priS-
OnerS in New Orleans created a profound
sensation, and cables have been passing
between the Cabinet and the Italian
Minister at Washington The engen-
dered feeling is one of utmost indigna-
tion and thirst for reprisals in some
form. An English visitor, who was mis-
taken for an American, had a narrow
escape from being mobbed. In the talk
on the streets and in public places strong
protests were uttered against any repre-
sentation of Italy at the coming Ameri-
can exhibition. Count Rasponi, of the
italian legation in Paris, expressed him
self in very strong terms on what he
called the cruel massacre of his country
men. He said Italy could not afford to
let such an outrage on humanity go
without redress, and that it was stain
on the American people that could never
be effaced
Among Italian residents in London
there is much excitement on the subject,
and the killing is ferceIy denounced.
There is talk of a mass meeting 10 re-
quest King Humbert to demand redress.
The papers published at Rome are
severe in their condemnation of the
american mob.
The PCp0lo Romano, referring to the
tragedy, says that, "Relying on the fore

power, Italy has refrained from sending

"If the Italians in other cities will fol-

a few days a fund of $500, 600 to aid the
work Of securing Justice or revenge. [
believe that the killing at New Orleans
will result in war. But if the Italian
Government does not force to a complete
and satisfactory issue the reparation
necessary, l will say now that an army
of Italians will assemble in New Orleans
which will fully and effectually avenge
the murder of our countrymen."
"You believe in the Malta and the ven

II believe in revenge. Italians are re-
vengful; we are terribly angry"
"What will you demand OF the Govern

"That those concerned in the killing
of italian prisoners be brought to JUS

"If such demand fail, what?"

Ex-Gov. Lucius Robinson died at Elmira,
n. Y, at his residence. For several days it
had been seen that the ex-Governor's great
age rendered it almost impossible that he
should survive the attack of pneumonia
from which he had been suffering. Lucius
Robinson was a native of Windham,
Greene County, n Y, where he was
born Nov. 4, 1910. He was educated
at the Delhi Academy, studied law,
and was admitted to the bar in 1882.
In 1887 he was chosen District Attorney of
Greene County and served three years, after
ward removing to New York City. In 1843
he was appointed Master of Chancery in
New York City, and in 1915 he was reap

a Republican when that party was formed.
He was elected an Assemblyman in 1859,

the COntrollership, but was elected to that
office in 1875, having meanwhile in 1871-'72
been a member of the Constitutional Com

State in 1876, was renominated by the Demo-

One of the most disastrous fires ever seen
in Elizabethtown, N. j., broke out in the
immense factory of the Elizabethport Steam
Cordage Company. This company owns and
operates the largest binder Irvine factory in
the world, and the weekly output of the
plant was about two hundred tons. When
the fire broke out there were in the works
about 500 operators, mostly girls, and u
great panic was caused. All escaped with
out injury, however. The losses are esti-
mated to aggregate $780, 600.
