Brigandage In Sicily.
CHILDREN BETEADED AND THEIR BO-
DIES FED TO DOCS AND HOGS,

The British Consul at Palermo, in
his report to the Foreign Office, gives
startling details regarding brigandage.
The whole island Of Sicily, ne says, ls
infested with bands OF robbers who
capture large landed proprietors ard
hide them in caves in the mountains
until they are ransomed. Farmers
are plundered of horses and cattle.
while peasants who are suspected OF
being informers are persecuted, tor
tured or murdered outright. Great
landowners living within four hours of
Palermo are afraid to remain on their
estates unless they are surrounded by
private mounted guards.
The band, led by brigand named
Samauw, is the most terrible of all the
numerous bands in the island. The
outrages perpetrated by them call for
speedy vengeance, and their immunity
from punishment is due entirely to the
supineness of the government. This
band has committed many murders
characterized by the greatest cruelty.
Even children have not escaped the
members of this gang of thieves and
murderers. They have beheaded lit
tie boys and girls, cut their bodies in
halves and then thrown the mutilated
remains about the country for dogs
and hogs to eat.
Many land owners who have invited
the enmity of the brigands have been
treacherously assassinated, while others
who have fallen into their hands have
been condemned to death by slow tor.
ture.
The difficulty met with in trying to
suppress these murderous bands, if
any really determined attempt is ever
made, is due to the fact that a large
number of the people provide the bri-
gands with supplies at high prices, and
are, therefore, unwilling to give any
information that would lead to their
capture. In other cases where the
peasants might give information they
are terrified by the threats of venge-
ance made by the brigands themselves
ard their friends, and consequently
when they are questioned they declare
they know nothing about the bands of
robbers who are devastating the coun-
try.
Some time ago the American Con
sui at Palermo made areport similar
to the above to the State Department
at Washington. When it became
known that the American Consul mad
made the report mentioned the Italian
Government Indignantly denied his
statements and privately demanded OF
the United States Government that he
be recalled. This demand was com
piled with. No one acquainted with
the facts has the slightest doubt that
the repor! of the American official was
correct in every particular.

From the Lewiston journal.
A Belfast (Me). woman got indig-
nant, the other day, at the shabby ap-
pearance Of the lawn about her house.
After moving down her husband with
wrath. she was soon on the lawn her
self with the lawn mower. Back and
forth she pushed the machine, while
the sun beamed soft and melting on
the down -trodden woman and every
thing else.
From a shady nook her husband
timidly watched her determined dis
play. For an hour, in which she must
have travelled a dozen miles, she work
ed, but, sad to relate, not blade Of
grass bowed to her indignant endea'
vors.
Finally her husband picked up
courage enough to address her:
Hadn't you better. turn the mach
inc over, my dear ?"
She did turn the machine over--in-
to the gutter-and swept into the
house with a look that kept her hus-
husband at a distance for several
days.
