IN "LITTLE ITALY"
The Occupants Of One Of New York's aTouuh .
Quarters.


Quarters.
There are more Italians in Nopg York then
in any other city in tho country There -
certain quarter in that place in Harlem. which
- eoiOnized by Italians exclusively, and sealed
Little Italy, These people, mostly Of tho
lowest classes. have made a city to themselves.
They have their own church and their own
hospital, their own undertaken and several
bankers. all Italians. Fruit-stauds small 4ro-
ceries, and shoe-shOps abound. The few iow-
clry stores show in their windows those bog,
gaudy gold brooches aud earrings never worn
except by Italians. There arc plenty Of saloons
The population Of Little Italy Is composed
mostly OF NeapOlitans, with enough COrsieans
and SiciIian5 10 leaven tho mass and furnish a
tride more vndictive material for the propa-
CATION and perpetuatiOn Of feuds There are
also good many Romans Florentines Tas-
cans, and Genoese all Of whom hold shsm-
selves above the Neapolitans. It is estimated
that there are packed as closely Is 10 is possible
Tor human beings 70 live about 10000 Italians
IN the section. Two rooms are often cOnsidered
ample shelter for dozen or 80 persons.
There IS always work for the police in " Lit
tie Italy" The chief trouble IS the carving
OF concealed weapons and the using Of them
on the slightest provOeation. Drunkenness is
not often recorded among them, as light wines
are their beverages.
The Clannishness Of the Italians, the sanalor
and nth IN which they seem TO thrive, and
their secrotiyenesS, have made them the most
undesirable Of neighbors, while their quick
resort 20 weapons has made them feared If noe
respected. The Italian requires but one quality
in his weapon; that il shall be effective. He
chooses, therefore, rsvolvers Of large calibsr and
knives and daggers Of formidable proportions
As class, the Italians prefer a kccn-edged
weapon that viii do its work silently COnse-
queutiy most Of them carry knives or daggers.
They prefer a weapon with which slashing
blows can be dealt effectively. But few stilettos
which arc round and pointed, aud are used
only for stabbing. can therefore be- found
among the hundreds Of knives taken from
italian prisoners by the police.
The vendetta has been imported TO Little
Italy by the Italians along with their other
habits, aud the knife and revolver have settled
many fends in Harlem which had their origin
in Italy. But quick as the Italians are 10
resort to weapons, their deadly ARRAYS arc con-
fined mainly among themselves, and their
colonies are not very dangerous 10 visit
The Italians arc so Clanuish that the natives
from one district in Italy do not care to live In
the same house with those from another In
the big tenements they occupy there used 20 be
inside aud outside doors. The Italians do not
see the necessity Of two doors and so each
tenement in which they were viii DO found di-
vested OF its geSli Dule door.

at win Appear Here Next Friday and

| The Chillicothe Intelligeacer has the
following to say Of Stoves Circus, that
appears here Friday and Saturday,
October 10th and 18th
''The good impression which Stoves
Circus had made in its two previous
performances caused the tent to be
crowded at both the matinee and night
entertainments on Saturday. Espec-
tally was the attendance large on Sat
urday night for it had become gener-
ally noised abroad that Mr.. Tiffin Gil
more, Chillicothe's favorite athlete,
would meet Tom McInerney, the cham
pion, in a catch-as-catch-can wrestling
match.
This act concluded the night per-
Torrance and was superb exhibition
Of skill. Some Of McInerney's moves,
especially side bridge, were truly
marvellous, while Gilmore held up his
end Of the string very well and stood
up against the champions assaults for
ten minutes. A half head turn where
he lit on his stomach was remarkable
feat Of Mr.. Gilmore's. In fact Mr.. Me-
Inerney in private conversation with a
Meas reporter, said that Gilmore was
wonderfully quick, and if he were in
regular training, would make the best
Of them watch their points. He also
says that Gilmore is the best amateur
that ever stood up against him.
In the regular programme, Mr.. Sam
Boydell, in his talking and singing
clown turns, and his black face imper-
sonations, is away out Of sight. Boy
dell is born comedian and always
has something new and fresh ON the
tip Of his tongue. In contrast to the
funny man Of a circus, he is as refresh
ing as glass of soda water ON sui
try day. The ElIiotts were Of course
Manning, the one-legged
bar performer, was great, and Powell is
one Of the finest contortionists that

hearty reception

HELENA, MoNT., Oct. The high
way lady arrested here Friday while
attempting to leave town in mans at
tire. proves tobe q nervy young woman.
She is aiso versatile prevaricator.
Her name has been discovered from
letters ii her possession. Instead Of
being Portie Miller, she il .Helcn Fors-
tund, and her parents live not far
from Spokane Falls, Washington.
Helen was The baby and beauty Of the
family, but her way wardness has been
. source Of deep grief 10 her relatives.
Yesterday the city marshal secured d
complete outfit Of woman's wear, and
the female bandit donned the attire Of
her sex, in which she presented quite a
striking appearance. She soon tired
of the limitations Of corset and skirt,
however, and again appeared at the
cell door in cutaway and trousers.
The fact that trailo blood was found
along the route Of the rctreating thug
who shot Policeman Grogan and that
the man Clark denied that he knew
that she was woman, has given rise
to a suspicion. that she had trapped
Clark to cover the retreat Of third
person, who was probably her sweet-
heart.
Grogan was confident he had winged
the fleeing footpad who shot, but neither
the man Clark northe woman Forstund
bears a scratch. Some Of the exploits
Helen claims credit for are already dis
credited but her description tallies
with that of the author of two or three
bold acts in Butte. Clark has been
positively identified by the wounded
officer and by both the victims Of his
robberies, and watch belonging to
one Of them wasfound ON his person.
The girl is held 9s an accomplish, and
the only evidence against her is her
own confessions and the watch Of one
of Clark,s victims found on her person.

The marriage of John Ring, of Ca

Dohnan, aged 20, Of St. Albins, which

New BRIGHTON, o., October 13.-
The tiniest safe robber on record was
arrested here yesterday in the form Of
q little girl who has stolen nearly ST.
900 from local merchants safe in
sums ranging from $50 to $50. For a
long time the merchant was puzzled
over the thefts, and two detectives,
Meyer, of Youngstown, and Lazarus,
Of this place, were employed to ferret
out the criminal.
They, too, were puzzled for days,
but at last they saw d little girl come
in the store, tell the merchant she want
ed to wait, for her papa. Sit down.
When the storekeeper turned his back
the girl slipped up to the safe and
picked up some money. She was ar
rested, but her father, who is well-to-
do man, offered the merchant to pay
over double the sum stolen to let the
matter drop. A SUM amounting to
about 5000 was fixed upon, which was
paid. What the child did with the
money is mystery.

with the Anarchist conspiracy cases in
Chicago some years ago. The case Of
Fielder comes before the court ON a
writ Of error by the Chief Justice of

question to be presented in the ease
will be that the Supreme Court of Hi

Fielden when it refused to amend the
