ITALIAN PEOPLE INDIFFERENT.
The Politicians, However. Continue
to Talk Big and abuse the Ad-
ministration.

New YORK, May 9.-The Herald pub
fishes another long cablegram from Pal
ermo, in which the correspondent says:
While l have found the common
people surprisingly Indifferent as to the
actual dispute between the United States
and Italy over the New Orleans massa-
ere, the moment l turn to politician
the tone changes. Prince Camporeale
is probably the foremost man in Sicilian
politics today. He declared that the
slaughter of the prisoners made a very
deep impression upon the people, and
that nothing but trial of the lynchers
and payment of indemnity could remove
the feeling aroused by the attitude of
the United States government! ''The
problem of how the murder of those
prisoners is to be punished said he
lis for the United States to solve. 1t
would be mockery to try those men in
New Orleans. / have examined Kent,
and find that the venue can be changed
to any county in the state. But the
tone of Mr.. Blaine's response to Italy
was so warm, and, may say, SO undig-
nified, and the letter of President Har-
rison to the governor of Louisiana so
cold, that our government naturally in
sists upon all it's rights.

Capture OF the Robert and Minnie Eff
fected.
Los ANGELES, May 9.--The schooner
Robert and Minnie was captured this
afternoon about three miles from San
Pedro, by Deputy Marshal Anderson, on
board the tug Falcon. She made no re-
sistance, and was towed into San Pedro
harbor and tied up to the wharf. The
arms said to have been on board her had
disappeared, and it is believed they
have been transferred to the steamer
Itata.
Ageut Burch and Pilot Dill came
ashore before the schooner was take .
Dill was arrested at San Pedro. Burch
came to Los Angeles and was traced to
the Arcade depot, where he was await
ing to take a train to San Francisco.
Burch first denied that he was the man
wanted, hut afterwards acknowledged
and was arrested by Detective Harry
Morse, and is now in the custody of the
United States marshal. Burch said he
landed the arms, but declined to say ut
what point, but it is supposed to be at
Catalina or San Clemente island. Mar
shal Gard, United States District Cole
and Detective Harry Morse came up
from San Diego to Los Angeles this
evening.

Its Origin in Douht.

The other day | casually asked a drug
clerk the origin of the many colored
lights which are now the universal signs
of a drug store. The youth referred me
very pleasantly to an older man in the
store, who finally admitted that he knew
about as little as his younger associate.
l called in every drug store on upper
Broadway and made the same query. AT
each place the question seemed to par
alyze the younger members of the estab-
ishnent. The older clerks contented
themselves with the opinion that it was
only to attract attention that various
colored lights were represented by jets
behind liquid in glass bottle. | ascer-
tanned that there was a great deal of
knack in preparing the liquid SO as to
give ii clear light of whatever color de-
sired and to stand the test of time with
out precipitation.
custom could be traced back two or three
hundred years until it faded into the
barber pole that is now the sign of the
tonsorial artists throughout the English
speaking world Another man, who
seemed to get "a little nearer to it than
the rest, said that it originated with the
early chemists and alchemists, who desig-
mated their places of business in this way.
All of them expressed desire that when
got the information sought l should
furnish it to those engaged in the drug
business. Interview in New York

Dining with Discriminatio..

IL one desires to dine with physiolog-
ical discrimination the meal should be-
gin with a few uncooked oysters or CLAIMS,
which are Immediately stimulating, nu-
tritious and digesible; both oysters and
sea fish contain tonic quantity of 10
dine, and are good nerve foods. With
the exception of cayenne, the earlier
dishes should be mildly seasoned; the
entrees may become piquant gradually;
the ice or Roman punch refreshes the
tissues of the mouth and throat. which
have been heated by the food and some
what inhamed or, rather, stimulated;
the liquid GOODNESS counteracts those
feverish conditions. and prepares the pal
ate for the flavor of the roast or broiled
game.
The accompanying salad greatly en-
hances the intense flavor of the roast,
while the condiments and salad oil favor
digestion The dessert sweets tend to
regulate the combination of the nutri-
tive elements in the blood, exercising a
chemical action not yet thoroughly un-
derstood. Black coffee or tea without
milk has an astringent effect, that is, it
contracts the mucous membrane of the
' digestive organs, interfering with the
flow of the gastric and intestinal fluids,
and thus retarding digestion
When their effect is desirable, the
warmth and stimulus derived from
either of those beverages can be replaced
by drinking glass of hot milk and wa
ter, swallowed as hot as possible, in
large sips, and there is no handicap, as
with tea or coffee. The milk soothes the
sensitive digestive tract, which may be
disturbed by other foods, and the hot
water is sanative; the milk taken with
out the water would become a solid
food directly it encountered the gastric
juice, thus lacking the necessary liquid
quantity. Juliet Corson in Harper's

Editorial Comment.

LONDON, May 9.-The Times, in an ed
itorial this morning on the Behring sea
correspondence, says:
Secretary Blaine's important conces-
sions make it possible for the arbitration
award to be given long before the Say
ward case is decided; therefore it is
scarcely necessary to discuss his last
argument. In the meantime the ques-
tion of close time for seals is most
pressing, and Blaine's delay causes
daily increased surprise.
