AN ITALIAN ROMANCE.
Death of q Man Who Saved a Woman
from Siberia.

Death of q Man Who Saved a Woman
from Siberia.
There has just died at Nacera, in
Italy, one Carlo Cafero, whose story is
strange enough for romance. Cafero
was born at Barlette. His father was
millionaire, and young Carlo received
an excellent education. In the early
days he led free life, but in his six
tieth year he came to England, and
having made the acquaintance of Karl
Marx, gained some knowledge of the
condition of the poor, and Joined the
ranks of the socialists. He then re-
turned to Italy, and set himself the
task of improving the condition of the
Italian workingman, says the London
Standard. He founded in Naples the
Campana, the first workingman's news
paper printed in Italy. When dissen-
sions arose in the International Work
mems association between the socialists
and the anarchists, he left Karl Marx
and joined Bal1ounin, and was pro-
claimed one of the chiefs of the inter
national association. He established a
secret socialist society, and kept up for
long time a close intimacy with. Ba-
kounin, whose pecuniary needs in bet
tering the condition of the working
classes found ample satisfaction from
Cafero's purse. Bakounin in return
provided him with wife.
The marriage which Cafiero contract
ed was a peculiar one. His wife was
the young Nihilist Olynlpiade Kutsouff,
and they were married in free town
in Austria only two days after they had
met for the first time. This marriage
procured for Olympiade an Italian
status and saved her from being deliv-
cred up to the Russian authorities as a
Russian subject. Half an hour after
the marriage ceremony they parted
company and did not see each other
again for ten years. In his SEVENTEEN
year Cafero wandered from one italian
prison to another, till he was forced to
leave the country. At Genoa he be.
came familiar with the works of Rous.

BIG SYMPATHETIC STRIKE.
The Various Departments of the Building
Trade in New York at a Standstin.

The Various Departments of the Building
Trade in New York at a Standstill.
New YORK, Nov. 1.-The gigantic
strike which has been threatened for the
past week of all the building trades in
sympathy with the striking electric wire
men has assumed shape, and thousands
of workingmen are idle.
The proffered aid of the Walking Dele
gates of the Building Trades Union was
accepted by the Electric Wiremcns' Union,
and general sympathetic strike was
ordered.
John Yates, Secretary of the Executive
Committee of the Electric Wireman's
Union, said that he believed that fully
1000 men were now out in consequence
OF this last move.
1t is impossible to estimate accurately
the number of men who have gone on a
strike in the building trades, and 10th
ing can be learned definitely until the
walking delegates report at the strikers
headquarters.
1t is believed that within a few hours
work in the various departments Of the
building trades in this city will be at q
standStil.

Take Him to France.
A large cinnamon bear and q short,
thick-set man with exuberant whiskers
stood on the corner of Broadway and
Fourth streets one day recently, says
New York exchange, with their heads
close together, as If in conversation.
A crowd soon gathered to find out
what they were apparently talking
about. Then the man said few words
in French to the bear, who made polite
bow and began dancing. The crowd
applauded
The bear cast coquettish glanccs left
and right and started to do some fancy
steps with high kicking literally inter
spersed- just then a policeman pushed
his way through the crowd just in time
to catch the bear in the act of execut-
ing kick of the Lottie Collins variety.
The crowd applauded, but the police
man frowned
"Who owns the bear?" he asked.
The Frenchman stepped forward and
said that he and the bear owned each
other.
"Pm going to arrest him." said the Of
fcer.
"Oui, monsieur" answered the other,
and spoke few words In French to the
bear.
That intelligent animal Immediately
assumed a posture of defense, and
tented with the left paw for the police
mans abdomen. Then it opened a
mouth that looked particularly full of
sharp teeth.
Stepping back, the officer said: ''Tell
him To Gonna oil M ;+sl1 ba
better for him, and you come along,
too"
The man and the animal put their
heads together and decided to go along.
Five minutes later, at the police sta
ton, charge of causing a crowd to col
lect was made against the man. The
bear was held as an accessory. Man
and bear spent the night together in
one cell.
Next morning they were escorted to
the Jefferson Market court, where the
bear made his bow to the judge. The
man, who did the talking for the pair,
said they had come from Montreal and
were on their way to France.
"Wel, this court won't prevent you, -
said the judge. you're discharged,
both of you"
The good news of their discharge
was communicated to the bear, who
had in the meanwhile been establish
ing friendly relations with the court
officer, and was engaged in polzing his
nose into the officers pocket in search
of peanuts.
After making a polite bow to the
judge, the two left the court room, fol.
lowed by many of the court room

A Victim to His Tho DRY.

Some time ago an eminent Cincinnati
physician said: when 1 began the
practice of medicine young man whose
constitution was even more powerful
than my own started in to practice
with me. His pet theory was that a
man couldn't have too much fresh air,
that he wanted to have it circulate in
side and outside of his body, and to that
end when the rigors of winter came on
he spurned thick clothing, which in
sisted on wearing. If we rode together
the heaviest garment he had was an or
binary sack coat. l wore muff1ers and
a great coat buttoned up to the chin.
My young and ambitious partner has
occupied narrow home in the ceme-
terry a great many years, placed there
after long and painful wrestle with
consumption. He stuck to his thin
clothing and became martyr to his pet
theory. 1 stuck to my heavy clothing
when the weather demanded it, and
think the graveyard is good many
Years from me still"

Two Finny CurIosities That Always Ac-

Yesterday morning some men were
hauling seine in the gulf, and when
they were inside the second bar they
noticed a large fish in the haul, says the
Galveston News. In shallow water the
fish was found to be sawfish, and a
large one at that. The seine was
dragged to the beach and the fish Sc
cured. On its back We're six pilot fish,
which held on as if they were part of
the prize. With difficulty they were
detached and four of them saved. The
sawfsh measured 1917 feet in length
and AZ feet in breadth and weighed $50
pounds.
The pilot fish were quite small. In

and on reaching shoal water they at
tach themselves to the back of the

sucker resembles the sole of an old,

strong pull to detach them. Their spe

New BRUNSWICK, N. j., Nov. "A
sad accident occurred at Tenants sta
ton, yesterday. f. Hess, a hotel keeper, of
Englishtown, and John Sutphin, car
penter, of the same place, were out driv
ing. The horse, as it approached the
railroad staff on, became frightened and
ran away. The station agent vainly
tried to stop the animal, which reached
the track j ust as an express train was
appr oaching. The engine struck the
buggy and killed both men instantly.

BIG BLAZE IN CHICAGO.
The Athletic AssociatIon's New Building,
Under Construction Destroyed.

Vh0 Athletic ASsoctAtlOnS New BUILDING
Under Construction. Destroyed.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-The beautiful new
home of the Chicago Athletic Associa-
ton, on Michigan avenue, between
Washington and Madison streets, was
destroyed by fire which started shortly
after a. m.
The building when completed would
have been the finest athletic club house
in the world and probably the most mag
nificent club building of any character.
The contemplated cost was $500, 900.
The loss on the building is estimated at
from $75, 900 to 800, 600.
Probably as heavy a loss az that upon
the club has been inflicted upon the
panorama of the Chicago fire one door
south of the athletic building.
This immense cyclorama cost $3.50, 900
and tons of water has been thrown
amongst its fragile beauties. Just what
the loss will be, S. s. Burr, the man
ager, declined to discuss, but he shook his
head when $50, 900 was suggested.
One OF the officers of the Athletic Asso-
citation, who was early on the scene of
the fire, limited at incendiarism.
With the exception of the steamf1tters,
all the building trades were called off
the new athletic building Monday after
noon by the business agent of the Build
ing Trades Council.
The trouble grew out Of the employ
ment of non-uniop men, and originated
with the electrical workers.
O. 1t is known that plasterers had been at
work in the seventh and eighth stories,
and when they left in the evening had
left salamanders burning to dry their
work. 1t is-probable that the fire origin
ated from the salamanders.
