A Cheap Dinner.
Venice is cheap city, especially if you
dine with the people in the fish kitchens
of the Street of the Smiths. There you
get a slice of smoking polenta as broad
as gondolier's palm and somewhat
thicker for penny. Another penny
will, if fish be abundant, as it generally
is, buy plateful of very palatable fry.
Add to this third penny for half a
liter of wine, and the bill is told.
There is no doubling the nutrition in
such meal. The faces of the clients of
the shops in the Street of the Smiths are
plump and hearty, and the clients them
selves are not famishingly impatient to
be served when there is crush, as there
often is of an evening, when such work
as Venice does is mostly at an end.-All

Catarrh is the continual scourge of

over every city ana nestlcs treacher-
ously in every hamlet, Ii flies with
vampire wings from country to country
and casts black shadow of despair
over all lands. Its stealthy approach
and its lingering stay makes it a dread
to the physician and pest to the pa-
uent. 1t changes the merry laugh Of
chill dhood to the wheezy breathing of
Group, and tho song OF the blushing
maiden TO the hollow cough of CON
sumption. In its whitening grasp tho
rounded form of the fond wife and
mother becomes gaunt and spectral,
and the healthy flush of manhood
turns to the sallow, haggard visage OF
the Invalid. Cough takes the place
OF conversation. speech gives way to
splitting, the repulsive OdOrs of chronic
catarrh poison the kiss Of the rondest
lovers and thickened membranes

A COLUMBUS MERCHANT AN OBJ
JECT OF MAFlA WRATH.
His Shortage Exceeds Ten Thousand DOL
lars, and Creditors Want
Him Badly.

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 2G.-The an
nouncement OF the mysterious disap-
pearance Of A. Lacavera, q wealthy
Italian commission merchant, has led
to the discovery Of sensational state
of affairs in connection with his depart
ure.
To-day Mr.. c. H. TelHeman, of New
Orleans, arrived in this city to press
some large claims which wholesale
firms in that city hold against tho
missing man. II seems that some OF
the New Orleans firms learned several
weeks ago that Lacavera contemplated
leaving the country, and forwarded
their claims to Attorney Tom Steele.
OF this city, for collection. About the
ii me Attorney Steele was to institute
legal proceedings the Italian merchant
skipped.
Mr.. Telleman has been investigating
the cases all day. He learned that Laco-
vera was member OF the grand jury
that indicted the Malta in New Orleans
for the murder of Chief Of Police Hen
messy. Lacovera acted conscientiously
and voted in favor OF furnishing his
fellow-countrymen for their terrible
crime. He incurred so much enmity
Ni'tNii6 tlS AtAAAth ppllulullOu VI NcW
Orleans that he was forced to leave the
city, and it was for that reason that he
came to Columbus. Ever since he To-
Gated hero he has been receiving
threatening letters from members OF the
Malta, telling him that they intended
TO nave revenge for his action on the
grand jury.
1t was for this reason. it is believed,
that he determined to leave the coun-
try. 1t now develops that the missing
merchant is short to the tune of over
$4,000 to New Orleans firms with whom
he dealt. He enjoyed almost unlimited
credit and played it to the limit. A
number OF prominent Italians here are
inclined to believe that perhaps Laca-
vera has been foully dealt with by the
Malta. but the fact that all the mem
hers OF his family and his household
goods are missing, seems to m AXE the
theory Of his return to Italy most plauis-

a JUDGE,


iUulCteus
Philadelphia, Penn, Nov. 2G.--It Is a
crime to wager money in Pennsylvania,
especially ON the result of elections.
To-day Judge McMullen, in the Lam
caster county court, sent a cold SILVER
down the backs of his auditors by in
structing the grand jury to find indict-
ments against all persons who waged
money on the result of tho late election
Nearly every man in the court room
was both morally and physically guilty,
ana some OF the grand jurors had been
Ylolators Of the law.
The judge was determined and vehe-
ment in his demand because he had
oeon defeated for recollection on the Sth
3Iy less than 100 majority by H. Clay
brn6aker, Republican. The milk in
inc cocoauut is that o number OF prom
lnent Democrats bet that AIcMullen
would DO defeated. He has heard Of
TINS and he proposes 10 have his re-
y.enge by bringing these fellows to the
'front.'. The penalty Is u forfeiture Of
tihree times the amonnt OF the wager by
tne winning party. There has been
pltter political fight in Lancaster, and
every man who has put up AGENT on tho
election feels uneasy.

as to be unable 70 speak, with their
tongues swollen and black, protruding
from their mouths.

and they all, though conscious, seemed
as II demented, They were unable
to move or give any account of them
selves until brought to shore by the

told by the mate, Is one OF horrible
suffering. He said that when they left

was about 1900 miles away, and that
with care and short rations they could

ing to his estimate about 100 for each
tweny four hours. The water gave out.
however, some days before they were
found, and the scene became o terrible
one,
He and one of the sailors alone re-
tanned their senses. The rest became
madmen and at the last were fighting,
shrieSing, tearing their hair and
clothes and ravlng generally. The two
managed, however, to keep them from
either jumping overheard or drinking
the salt water until they became too
weak 10 do so.
Finally no and the sailor also gave
out and for two days and nights the
boat drifted In calm sea without any
effort to guide or propel her. A friend
ly current carried them inshore, or they
would have all died in tho boat.
