At PEACE WITH ITALY.

Baron Fav.s Sails for America-Tho
Trouble Growing Out Of the Lynching
at New Orleans Ended by Granting the
Same Justice Which Is Now Dem .nded
from Chilli.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Word has been
received here that Baron Fava has
sailed from Rome for Washington to re-
sumo his post as minister from
Italy to the United States. The
Marquis Imperiali is in charge
of the legation here, as he has
been since the recall of Fava. The
baron's name is still borne on the rolls
of the state department as the Italian
minister. The return of Fava to his old
post confirms the news that the United
States has agreed to pay a small in
demnity in money to the families of the
two Italian citizens lynched at New Or
leans. This restores the entente cor
dale between the two countries and
the diplomatic incident is closed. 1t
will be noticed that the settlement in
this case has been made on the part of
the United States by performance of
the same acts of justice and reparation
which this country is now demanding
of Chilli, and the prospects now are
that within two or three weeks the
Chilial incident will be closed in the
same manner.

the money and tremblea

remembered the money and trembled
for his unprotected wife, alone in the
darkness of midnight and that terrible
storm. With just word of explana-
tion he started out on his return, if pos
sible more anxious and alarmed than
when he came.
But he got along slower than ever,
and it was not long before he found all
trace of footsteps obliterated by the
driving snow. Yet he still kept plung-

alarmed with every successive move

When Mrs. Nettie found herself
| alone that stormy night with three
thousand dollars in the house, she had
not been the least bit frightened. She
had kindled up fire and was just sit
| ting down with book when the door
opened and man entered. A single
glance told her that it was not
her husb returned, as she thought
at first, for the intruder wore mask
of black cloth and carried a cooked re
volver in his hand. Nettie's blood fair
! ly froze as the nnwelcome guest ad-
vanced toward her.
'"There is little roll of shinplasters
upstairs and want it, he said. ''Go
and get it for me, there's dear"
'My husband has it in his pocket"
she answered, with a white, scared
face, yet still determined to keep the
money out of the burglars clutches if
possible.

thing. It's in the bureau drawer now.
Get it for me or else I shall be obliged
to tie You up and help myself"
Nettie's heart sank yet lower. The
robber evidently knew that Freeman
was away from home, and she was ut
terly in his power.
II suppose l may as well, as you
know all about it," she said, a plan to
outwit him beginning to take shape in
her mind. Take the lamp and come
on"
"By heavens. you're brick" said
the villain, admiringly, as he obedient-
ly picked up the lamp and followed
her from the kitchen. "Sorry to
trouble you, but I must borrow that
money little while, anyhow"
Nettie went straight up the stairs to
their chamber door, the ruffian follow
ing close behind her with the lamp, re-
volver in hand. By the time they
reached it he was entirely off his guard.
The door swung inward, and Nettie
turned it on its hinges as quietly as if
she were about to retire, instead of be-
ing in deadly danger But as the door
swung open she gave a sudden spring
through it, banged it shut in the rob.

key in the lock.
With muttered curse the fellow be-

to relight the lamp, thinking a draft
had closed the door. Failing to find
any he essayed to open it, only to find
it fast. When the burglar realized the
trick that had been played upon him he
was furious.
"Open the door. you she-devil," he
cried, as he pounded violently upon it.

and kill You like rat in a hole"
There was no response. Nettie knew
the door would stop the robber for only
moment, so she made the most of her

time. Snatching her husbands pocket
book from the drawer she hastily
thrust it into her bosom; then she
darted to the window and threw it
open.
A huge apple tree grew close to the
house, and the great branches of it
perfect hoyden in her girlhood, SO it
was only an instant till she was among
the snowy boughs. It was none too
soon, for the robber was already at the
window
''Come back, curse YOU" he cried:
''come back, or I'll put a bullet through
YOU"
Nettie's only answer was frantic

SO she had little fear of his hitting her
if he went by sound and shot at ran

firmly together and recklessly clam
bered downward, determined to keep
the pocketbook in her own possession
or die in its defense.
Hanged if she isn't too plucky to
shoot" muttered the robber. ''I'll
have to follow her, or she'll slip me,
money and all, before l can go down
stairs and round the house. So here
goes''
A great crashing in the branches in
formed Mrs. Nettie of his movements,
and spurred her. to yet greater efforts.
Reaching the bottom limbs she grasped
one firmly, swung herself downward,
and dropped unhurt into the drift be-
meath. There was only one thing to
think of-fight. Bareheaded as she
was, she stumbled on out into the road
and started after her husband
There was no sound of pursuit as she
fled, but as her tensely strung nerves
began to relax she grew nearly frantic
with terror. Blindly she staggered on
ward against the storm. At first she
scarcely noticed the cold or the drifting
snow, but her waning strength and
failing breath soon brought her to a
sense of her danger, alone at midnight
in the snowy highway, bareheaded and
thinly dressed, with the pitiless wind
of a smothering storm buffeting her
with all its fury and a masked and
bloodthirsty robber behind her.
On and on she struggled through the
storm and cold in the desperate en-
deayor to find assistance. Still on she
staggered with sinking heart and
shortening breath, while the numbing
cold crept into her very vitals. On and
onward yet.
just as she felt she could 20 no

small village OF Gibbsborough. It was
late in the autumn and the weather
was cold and gloomy, while the near
est neigbbor was nearly mile away;
yet they were never lonesome, for the
honeymoon was scarcely over and they
We're still very fond of each others So
ciety.
Mr.. Gibbs, Sr., lived at Gibbsborough,
best of terms. The young people were
very comforta bly, situated as Freeman
owned his farm, free of incum brance,
and had just sold his interest in man
ufacturing enterprise at the village for
three thousand dollars in cash. SO the
future outlook was exceedingly bright
for the young couple.
The money for the quarter interest
in the factory was paid over to Mr..
Gibbs at his house one forenoon late in
November. Before he had time to
storm set in, andrhe concluded to wait
until the morrow rather than face such
tempest, although he realized that
everybody at the village probably
knew there was large sum in his
possession. A robbery had not been
committed in the vicinity for years,
and besides that Freeman was a
courageous fellow who always kept a
revolver within reach; so he had no
fears for the safety of his money.
The storm increased in violence as
the night came on, and by dark there
were eight inches of snow that the
furious wind was rapidly whirling into
great heaps. Mr.. Gibbs and his wife
retired quite early, and, lulled by the
roar of the storm without, they were
soon sleeping as only light-hearted
young people can sleep.
1t was almost midnight when a
laundering knock at the door aroused
them both. Thrusting his head out of
the window, Mr.. Gibbs called out:
who is there?'
Lewis lakewood" was the answer
"Your father has just had shock and
cannot live till morning. If you wish
to see him alive, come immediately"
Lewis lakewood was his fathers
nearest neighbor, so Freeman never
had doubt of the mans identity or
the truth Of his tidings. Of course
anxiety for his stricken parent at
once Overcame all fear of the terrible
storm.
Dare you stay alone and let me go,
Nettie?" said he to his wife. mo team

and the floor covered with snow, but
nothing appeared to have been dis
turbed.
Suddenly one of the men gave an ex-
clamation of horror, and every body ran
to his side as he stood by the window.
The cause was apparent at once.
The robber was still there in the top
of the old apple tree. In some way his
feet had slipped among the snowy
branches and as he fell his neck had
been tightly wedged into the crotch be-
tween two limbs.
All his efforts to release himself had
evidently been unavailing; but during
his struggles the mask had slipped off,
and his horror-stricken neighbors were
gazing full upon his features. No
wonder the man had cried out on first
beholding them!
It was the face of Lewis lakewood
indeed, but it was now cold and icy
one. Justice, swift and sure, had
overtaken him in his nefarious attempt;
for he had been caught and strangled
between the confining branches of the
old apple tree, to hang there all through
the long and freezing night only to be
discovered in the morning, frozen and
dead.-O E. Young, in Goodalls Sun.

THE CAT IN HISTORY.
Grimalkin, from Caesar's Day to Our Owl
In Literature and Science.

Grlmalkln, rom CaeSar'S Day to Our Own,
In Literature and Science.
The Romans recognized the economic
value of the cat, and during the mid
die ages several countries in Europe
had laws to prevent the killing of cats,
the fine in some cases being as much
wheat as was needed to form pile
sufficient to cover over the body of tho
animal to the tip of it's tail, the cat be-
ing held vertically, the muzzle resting
on the ground.
The domestic cats of the present day
are probably the descendants of the old
domestic cats of Egypt, which, as the
granary of the ancient world, might
we'll have been the place where they
were originally tanned.
When Caesar landed in Britain the
forests were full of wild cats, but there
was probably not single domestic cat
in any British town or village, and for
one thousand years after the Roman
invasion, although wild cats were plen-
ty, domestic cats were rare.
The literature of Sha4kespeare's time
abounds in superstitions of cats as the
favorite agents of witches. Thrice

first witch in Macbeth" when she
would announce that the time for ac-
tion had come.-Pittsburgh Times.

A Funny Notion Of Some Superstitious

A Funny Notion OF Some Superstitious
People.
You may get some idea of how wide
spread is the superstitious belief that
''crossing funeral procession brings
bad luck if you will stand any day at
the New York or Brooklyn entrance
to the East river bridge and wait until
u hearse and q long line of carriages
appear. You won't have to wait very
long. So many mourners pass over
the bridge that it is almost entitled to
be called '"The Bridge of Sighs. -
And when your patience is rewarded
by the arrival of the cortege, if you are
ON either the New York or the Brook
lyn side you will observe that, though
the horses are moving slowly and
though there is plenty of room to pass
between the carriages, many men and
women who have been walking rapid
ly halt suddenly and wait until the
last carriage has gone by. Some do
not stop, but hurry on. They are the
Indifferent or the ignorant or the reck-
less ones.
On the Brooklyn side one day saw
a crowd of certainly two hundred
superstitious persons awaiting the
passing of procession. A number of
those who waited were evidently an
noyed at the delay, and when the rear
vehicle had passed they ran to make
up the time which superstition had
caused them to lose.
''Does that always occur when /,
funeral procession is passing?" asked
of a bridge policeman.
''Oh, yes," he answered. "Some-
times there's more and sometimes less,
but I don't believe a funeral ever

he went on, ST didn't understand it. 1
used to stop the carriages and motion
to the people to cross over. But they
wouldn't. They'd stand as if they were

One day as a funeral procession was
leaving the roadway a couple of girls
came up. One of them stopped The
other ran across.
"'Oh, Mamie!' shouted the one who
had stopped, you have crossed funer-

THE CLARK CLUB
THAT WAS NOT ORGANIZED IN
THIS CITY LAST NIGHT
Because There wer5 Not Enough on
Hand to Make cIub-Elghteen
Mon on Hand.

Il answer to a call to organize a Clark
club, eighteen men met at the city hall last
night. They were F. W. Chiles, j. Q. St
Clair, John Leblanc, ". J. Bailey, 7. W.
Slack, w. II. Ward, Howard Tully, John
A Thornton and some others that the re-
porter does not remember.
F. W. Chlles called the meeting to order
and it was found ali the city wardsswere
representa- by an average of two each, ex-
cept the Ninth. Henry Early said he
guessed he could represent that ward.
Then the question came up, should q
Clark club be organized. The small at
tendance was a damper to enthusiasm, and
there was opposition to organization of a
strictly Clark club Early and Bailey con-
tended against organization on the ground
that the campaign was in its incipiency,
and otter developments were looked for as
it progressed. Early suggested that Fort
Worth might have first choice as against
both Clark and Hogg in Dick Wynne.
]. D. Roberts demanded that Clark club
be organized at once.
Early put his hands on Roberts shoulder
and said: Here's man who is getting
So. SO a week for organizing Clark clubs,
and he is too much, interested to be a safe
adviser"
s--ssYou're an--imposter ~ shouted Roberts
And then the cats broke loose and the fur
began TO fly. Every man was on his feet,
and some of them were on some other
mans feet, shouting and gesticulating,
until finally they got tired and became
quiet.
But the no-club men carried the day-or
rather the highland the meeting broke up
without doing anything, except resolving
to meet again and do the same thing.
