italy Not Satisfied.

The report Of the New Orleans grand
jury is not more satisfactory to the Italian
government than were the dispatches of
Secretary Blaine. 1t persists in asserting
that there is no safety for foreigners in this
country because the government at Washing.
ton is without power to afford the protec-
ton which it so freely promises in treaties.
Premier Rudini therefore purposes, accord
ing to leading Italian paper, to invite the
other nations Of Europe to join Italy in an
international agreement to compel this
country to give ample protection to its
foreign residents.
1t will be long time before the Italian
government will see such an agreement
This country does just what other countries
do with respect to foreign residents. 1t
guarantees to give them the same protection
enjoyed by its own citizens. 1t can do no
more. No country can do more.
Italy has a treaty with this country in
which it is stipulated that Italian subjects
in this country shall enjoy the same security
as to life, liberty and property as American
citizens. That treaty has not been violated
and will not be. The Italian citizens who
were killed in the New Orleans prison
were not dealt with differently
from the American citizens who
were killed there. And the families Of the
lynched Italian citizens have the same rem
dies for indemnity as the families Of the
lynched American citizens.
Had the demonstration in New Orleans
been against Italian citizens, instead of
against men believed to be guilty of great
crime. Italy would have good ground for
demanding reparation under the treaty she
has with this country. But under existing
circumstances she has no cause for max.
ing an outcry or for attempting to
arouse feeling throughout Europe to force
this country to change its constitution. She
will find that out before she proceeds much
further on the line she now seems inclined
to pursue
1t is worthy of notice that Italians are
not afraid that they will not receive ample
protection in this country. They are com-
| ing here by thousands If the Italian gov
eminent thinks it is not safe for them to
come it should stop them from emigrating.
| If it should adopt that course it would re-
| ceive no complaint from this country.

HOT ELECTIONEERING.
A Man who Was Too Peaceful for Old Col
orado Days.

81 remember" said the colonel, laugh
ing to himself, when Charley Wilson
was running for coroner in our county
in Colorado. 1t was dead sure thing
for him, because he was backed by the
sheriff, and the sheriff always had his
own way. Elections out there in those
days were not very exciting until about
two days before the voting. Then we
had nice, entertaining times, for every
one quit work, whatever his work might
be, and began to warm up for the cleo
ton.
''Well, Wilson went around with
smile on his face that would have en-
circled a hogshead. lie had never held
Office before and the prospect tickled
him nightly. 1t was just two days be-
fore election that the sheriff began to
warm up, and by night he was red-hot
He was button-holing everyone he met
10 vote for Wilson, and his enthusiasm
was something irresistible. He and Will
son got into a difference over the plan
of election that evening. Wilson
wanted to let every man vote as he saw
fit, while the sheriff declared that the
way to run an election was to go TO the
polls and watch every man cast his
ballot.
land well argue with EN- he said,
tapping his siX-shooter with his big
hand.
"Wilson was peaceful man, and this
plan did not meet his approval at all.
However, by nine o'clock the sheriff
was in such condition of enthusiasm
that he was willing to compromise, and
all seemed to be going well for our
candidate. He and the sheriff were in
a back room of the saloon discussing
the situation when we heard shots.
We thought that they had got into
fight, and we ran back there on the
Jump. We found Wilson under a
table, while the sheriff stood in the
center of the room. In his right hand
was Colts six-shooter. and in his left
a bulldog revolver. He was dancing
around on one leg, blazing away with
both hands, with one shooting into the
ceiling, and with the other into the
floor We waited until his ammunition
was exhausted, and then we dragged
Wilson from under the table.
9 That lets me out, he said, with his
teeth chattering.
'Why?' was asked.
g Think what he will be day after
Tomorrow he said.
"'Oh. that's his way of carrying an
election, we explained. He's just
warming up
Wilson shook his mead.
. L withdraw on the spot he said
NO more of that for me-.
I'VE couldn't shake his resolve, either,
and, to the disgust of the sheriff. he
withdrew. Wilson was a peaceful man,
you see. We had to put up another
man at the last minute. OF course the
sheriff elected him, but that ruined Will
son politically.'-N. Y. Tribune.

ROMANCE OF a snItana.

The favorite wife of the sultan was
once poor girl living in the coal mines
of France She was a beautiful girl,
and some charitable person found her
occupation in a famous dressmaking
establishment in France. She was
sent to Constantinople with dresses or
dered by the sultan's mother. Moth
ing more was heard of her for many
years, until a little inheritance was
left by relative and notices were
posted asking for her whereabouts. In
answer to these notices a wonderful
equipage, escorted by mounted eunuchs,
stopped at the door of the embassy, and
the sultan's only legal wife stepped
down to declare herself the once Flora
Cellin and renounce the legacy in favor
of her kindred, who are still poor.-In-

PHYSICAL CULTURE OVERCOME.
Danger in the Development of the Amer
! lean Craze for Athletics.

Danger in the Development of the Amer
lean Craze for Athletics
Physical culture is one OF the fads of
the day and as such stands in danger of
being overdonc 1t been pointed out
that in the rapid development of the
recent craze for athletics in America
two things of grave Importance have
been overlooked by both men and
women. The first is that in England,
where every little boy rides and runs
and plays cricket and tennis, and every
girl, from the princess daughter down,
has systematically walked and ridden
and played outdoor games in all kinds
of weather from baby hood, there is less
danger from high degree of athletic
effort than here, where entirely I'M
trained aud soft muscles are put to the
sharp and often fatal test of powerful
and concentrated effort without previ-
Gus discipline. The other is that the
real value of athletic training is its eff
feet upon the success of all endeavor in
life, and in so far as it becomes the end
instead of the means it is to be con-
demned
Many of our masters and teachers
forget that a trained brain, trained
digestion and trained nerves are the
basis of athletic power and health, and
the too common result is the man with
sinewy muscles hardened at the expense
of impoverished vitality and the woman
with disarranged organism through
too vigorous exercise.
Americans are naturally keen and inn
petuous, and they are carrying these
qualities into athletics to their serious
injury. He would be a true philan-
thropist who would just now urge upon
them the necessity of moderation and
common sensepin this matter, and i'm
press on them that they must exercise
according to their previous training and
their actual physical powers of endur-
ance. and not according to any arbi-
trary athletic standard.
One of the most noted physicians of
this city insists that no exercise in the
gymnasium is so perfect and calls into
play so many muscles at once as brisk
walking in the open air, in uprig Int,
easy position and loose clothing, and
with some light burden in the hands;
and it has been wisely said that five or
six years of this sort of safe and salu-
tary exercise would make an excellent
basis for athletic improvement, espe-
cially among women, whose gymnastic
work is apt to be erratic rather than
regular and sustained, and taken with
out regard TO dietetic or hygienic eondi-
tions. This principle has been recently
inculcated with regard to schoolboys.
Many boys are not attracted by bolster
GUS games, and it seems hard that any
sort of compulsion should be used to
compel them to take part in them.
Rev. T. A. Preston, in writing on this
subject, shows with great force how
much advantage the study of natural
history might, IN some instances. be
substituted for baseball and football.
Boys out for a field excursion actually
take great deal more exercise than
they ever take at baseball, and the ex-
ercise is of a nature to give better per-
manent results, to say nothing of the
other advantages of such a form of
ecreation.-Chicago News.

ALL KINDS or ELBOWS.
Each Has a Language Of Its Own. as VI
VIII Observe.

Each Has a Language of Its Own, as You
VIII Observe.
Elbows are as expressive of character
as any facial feature. If one has any
doubt of this assertion let him take
heed of the elbows to be met with in
crowded public conveyances. They are
expressive enough. goodness knows
There is the rigid, unyielding elbow
that has no more give than a ramrod,
and, if you study the face going with
IL, a Observation-Disclosures and mind
your-own- business look warn you to sit
close yourself, or you viii get punch
in the ribs. Then there is the round
elbow that protrudes like a sugar-bowl
handle, aLl that never stays down, but
rubs ones shoulder and ticl5les ones
ear, and is forever getting in the range
of vision of compressed neighbors. 1t
belongs, of course. to a nervous indi-
vidual who absolutely refuses TO sit on
the middle of his spine, and read the
newspaper, as another elbow owner has
a way of doing. to the utter oblivion of
his surroundings. Elbows that are as
pointed as needles, and as obtrusive;
elbows that hit everybody in the car
seat getting in and getting off; elbows
that must rest on the back of the bench,
and elbows that return remonstrative
pressure with a nudge call these ell
bows, and lots more, daily punctuate
life aboard the street car. Now and
then there is nice symmetrical elbow,
with a pretty arm and daintily gloved
hand attached, and if one is thumped
by such an elbow then one forgets all
about the sharp prods of ungainly
bones, and passes along the five cop
pers to the conductor precisely as
though he ought to feel happy to get
them from such charming source. If
you will only observe how elbows be-
have under such and all other eircum-
stances, you will come to my conclu-
sion that there is much of human ma
ture in this portion of the anatomy

A HELPING HAND.

A helping hand we all may give
II but a pleasant word to say,
And something find each day we live
To help another on the way.
A helping hand may sow the seed
From which the fruits OF goodness grow,
And to the right may gently lead
The erring from the path Of woe.
A helping hand TO all mankind.
Among the rich, the poor, and low,
In every state OF life can tind
An act OF kindness to bestow.
A helping hand we all may need
When darkest sorrows leave their trace,
Some one to comfort and TO lead
To give us strength and needed grace
A helping hand where'er we go
A ray OF sunshine may impart,
And but deed OF kindness show
"A noble and a generous heart.
A helping hand IS ever near
In passing through LIES troubled tide:
When all the world seems cold and drear
