have laid the contents Of your eX-
celency's note before the government
of the King, and his excellency, the
President OF the Council, His MajeStY's 5
Minister of Foreign Affairs, has just di-
rected me to address the following com
municatlon to you:
The government Of the King of Italy
has asked nothing beyond the prompt
institution OF judicial proceedings
through the regular channels. 1t would
have been absurd TO claim the punish
ment of the guilty parties without the
warrant Of a regular judgment, The
| Italian government now repeats the
same demand. Not until the Federal
government shall have explicitly de-
clared that the aforesaid proceedings
shall be promptly begun, can the diplo-
matte incident be considered as closed.
Meanwhile His Majesty's government
takes note OF the declaration whereby
the Federal government recognizes that
an indemnity is due TO the families OF
the victims in virtue of the treaty in
force between the two countries.

The Origin of u Widely Quoted Individual
When she First Appeared
Every one knows what Mrs. Grundy
says or will say about everything.
Every one fears what Mrs. Grundy
thinks or will think. But who knows
who Mrs. Grundy is? What was her
origin, and when did she make her de-
but in the society whose mentor she is
in all things from cards to weddings and
divorces? We find that this mythical
embodiment of our neighbours opinions
was introduced to the world rs u per-
st'nage in drama called Speed the
Plough" written and presented in the
first year of the present century by one
Thomas Morton. She was not in the
play u grand lady of fashion; she was
rather the wife of prosperous farmer,
for whom his ncighbor enviously says:
''The sun seems to shine on purpose"
The play made no impression from a
literary point of view Thomas Morton
is a forgotten drainatist. No one ever
hears of Speed the Plough" But Mrs.
Grundyis now. as in the play, the per-
,sonificn.ion of the consensus of public
opinion. and has attained immortal
fame.

dead in the house his heart aches the
same as q girls.
