MAR is IMMINENT.
The Grow ng European Crisis Greatly Ag-
grasated by Italy's Condition.

The Grow ng European Crisis Greatly Ag-
gra,ated by Italy's Condition.
1t is the Italian situation which most
directly threatens in this growing Eu-
ropean crisis. France has shown sur
prising and most creditable restraint
during the past two weeks. Her ambi-
tious purpose has not been misjudged by
those who have seen the sinister designs
behind her protestations of peace, but
she is wise enough to know that the hour
for the execution Of her plans has not
quite ome But if Italy assumes an ag-
gressive part she will play into French
hands. France is ready, and with her
new ally at her back will rejoice if one
Of her adversaries will assume the re-
sponsibility Of making the attack.
The situation in Italy does not i'm
prove. It has become intolerable, and
some violent result of the crisis seems
inevitable. There is some truth in the
statement that the trouble is caused
more by moral than material decadence
Patriotism has waned. The country is
bankrupt-not because it cannot pay its
taxes. but because it will not pay. The
reply Of the Marquis di Rudini to Pre-
mier Giolitti is justified when he says it
is useless to impose additional taxes, be
cause they will yield no more than the
old ones. The people best able to pay
will, the marquis asserts, evade pay
ment with more ingenuity and perseyer-
ance.
Giolitti's government recognizes the
truth of this observation, and it is this
fact which gives color to the reports
that the present ministry has been O n
sidering a wal with France as a desper-
ate remedy for the solution of its diem
ma. The people would willingly supply
the sinews of war, but they refuse long
er to be victims of the thieves in high
places, whose guilt is notorious, but who
are protected by all the resources of the
government and crown. If winter were
just ending instead of approaching, it
would be a question of days only, in the
opinion of many people. when Italy
would fire the first gun in the greatest of
European wars.
Meantime the crisis is a most embar-
RAISING n for the present rulers of the
peninsula. 1t is difficult to see how the
winter can be passed without a crash of
some sort. Already the popular discon-
tent is at the point of revolution in some
parts Of the kingdom. The government
} continues to pour troops into Sicily, and
its newspaper organs virtually admit
that the aim is the suppression of sedi-
ton rather than the extirpation of brig
andage, although the latter laudable
work is proceeding incidentally. 1t has
been ascertained that the Easel or asso-
Citations of revolutionary socialists have
a membership of 800, 900, embracing all
classes in Sicily. Even some regiments
are tainted, and severe disciplinary
measures have had to be taken against a
regiment of artillery at present in the
garrison at Palermo. The Sun CORE
spondent says that serious disturbances
may occur at any moment.-New York

The First of Its Kind.

The first wedding of colored people
that ever occurred in the gubernatorial
mansion Of Virginia or in a similar man
sion in the south took place in the dining
room of the executive mansion at 1 o'clock
on a recent afternoon. Winston Edwards,
the governors chief butler, who has
served faithfully in his position under
both Governor Lee and the present ex-
e~cutive, and Jenny Leigh, an attractive
maid, who has been in the governors
service for several years, were united in
marriage by the Rev. DR.. Hunter of the
Third Street African Methodist Episco-
pal church. After the ceremony, which
was witnessed by several Of the gov
ernor's household, the happy couple left
on a bridal tour, which embraced a visit
to the Worlds air.-Richmond Dispatch

A Persistent Boys Fight For Personal,
Damages Against a Railroad.

A Persistent Boys Fight For Personal
Damages Against a Railroad.
The suit of Dennis Spillane against the
Missouri Pacific Railway company is
again on trial before Judge Slower. 1t
is the third trial. Dennis is a 13-year-
old boy, who, in the summer of 1888,
while crossing the track at the foot of
Grand avenue, was run over by a Mis-
souri, Pacific train. He vas knocked to
the side of the track, his scalp was fairly
TORI from his skull, and two fingers
were cut off his left hand. The boys
head was sewed up by DR.. Iuen, and to
the surprise of every one he recovered.
Ever since the accident, however, he
has been subject to epileptic fits, COM
plains Of pains in his head at all times
and is unable to attend school or per-
form any work.
Dennis at once brought suit for $780,
900 damages. The cause came up for
trial in 1889, and the jury awarded him
$4,000. The case was taken to the SUI
preme court on an error made by Judge
Slower in his instructions to the jury and
remanded back for trial. At the second
trial the jury failed to agree upon the
amount Of damages, and the ase has
since hung in the courts.-Kansas City
Times.

The Oldest Soldier In the World.

Russia proudly claims the Oldest SOL
der, if not the oldest citizen of any rank,
in the known world. Her claimant for
this distinguished honor is Colonel Grit
zenko of Pottawa near Odessa, who, if he
lives until Feb. Z, will celebrate his one
hundred and twentieth birthday. Grit
zenko entered the military service in the
year 1889, 104 years ago, and received
from the hands of Empress Catherine
herself q gold medal for conspicuous
bravery at the assault on Ismail. This
trophy, Of which the aged warrior is
justly very proud, bears the following
inscription: For exceptional bravery at
the assault of Ismail. Dec. II, 17S9."-

INDIANA WOMEN SUMMERS.
They Visited Chicago With the Best of
Motives and Were Shocked.

Iney tisIASu 1hIctSO win the BesC OF
Motives and Were shocked.
The Indianapolis members of the Chi
cago stunning expedition have re-
turned home. The ladies who joined in
the expedition are recognized leaders in
w. c. T. U. work in Indiana. All of
them are reported as excessively cha
grined over the publicity given their
visit to Chicago sluins, which was under
taken with the best of motives.
"There are some falsehoods which
should be corrected" says Miss Ayres.
1--WE left our lodgings at II p. m and
returned at 1:15 precisely. We did not
visit the worst resorts either. We
aimed to inspect the more decent va
%rieties, but the Lord knows for that
matter they were all bad enough.
The detective who guided us said it was
no uncommon occurrence for parties of
religious ladies to visit these resorts for
scientific purposes, and our visit would
never had leaked out if it had not been
for a Judas Iscariot of anewspaper man,
who gave the whole affair away.
we had but one simple, solitary and
laudatory purpose in making the visit"
continued the lady. I'VE wanted to
find some practical means of elevating
fallen women. Our object was to ascer-
tain what relationship the tobacco and
liquor habits bear to this uncomfortable
vice which we are seeking to cure. If
we "a strike at the root of the disease,
it will be q comparatively easy matter
to cure the disease itself. We ascer-
tanned that there was q very close rela-
tionship between the three vices, and
that the latter is s~uperinduced by the
tobacco and liquor habits. Now we
know whatever we do to lessen the
amount Of tobacco and liquor sold, by
just that much will we lessen the vice
which we are aiming at"
Miss Ayres was asked if what the la
dies saw was calculated to lessen their
estimation of humanity in general.
''They were simply shocking. l had
never dreamed that so much evil exist
ed. Most Of the resorts were like gilded
palaces and were always accompanied
by liquor and tobacco attachments
where the girls INDUCED as freely as the
men. never want to see the like again.
We were not prompted by morbid curl
osity. We were working in the inter
ests Of social purity, and our motives
were Of the highest character. We be-
lieve that we did a good work."-In-

A STRANGE CASE.
How an Enemy was Fooled.

The following graphic statement will be
read with intense interest: Il cannot describe
the numb, creepy sensation thatexisted in my
arms, hands and legs. Ihad to rub and beat
those parts until they were sore, to overcome
in n measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession of them. In addition, l had a
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an indeScribable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said it
was creeping paralysis, from, which, accord
ing to their universal conclusion, there is no
relief. Once it 'fastens upon a person, they
say, it continues it's insidious progress until
it reaches q vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. l had been doctoring
Il year and a half steadily, but with no par
ticular benefit, when 1 saw an advertisement
of DIR Miles Restorative Nervine, procured q
bottle and began using it. Marvellous as it
may seem, but a few days had passed, before
every bit of that creepy feeling had left me,
and there has not been even the slightest
indication of its return. l now feel as
well as l ever did, and have gained ten
pounds in weight, though l had run down
from 40 to 1877. Foul others have used DR..
Miles Restorative Nervine on my recomen-
dation, and it has been as satisfactory in their
cases as in mine."-James Kane, La Rue, q.
DIR. Miles Restorative Nervine is sold by all
druggists on a positive guarantee, or sent

bottles for s., express prepaid. 1t IS free from

Railroad TRAFFIC During the Fair.

So far as the figures at hand 60 they
show that the number Of people brought
into Chicago by the 81 passenger lines
entering here during the fair period were
in round numbers 1886. 600. This allows
100000 each for the FIVE leading passen-
ger lines, 800. 600 each for the five next
following, $50, 900 each for the next group
Of five, and 10000 each for the six weak
lines. Allowing each of these passengers
account for an attendance Of 16, 155. 600,
which would be a good proportion Of
outside visitors. 1t would leave but a
little over 5000, 900 visits from Chicago
ans.-Chicago News.

A really clever thief is engaged iUsJ
now in robbing people in Paris WHO Dos
sess securities payable to Dearcr. His
plan is to do Il little business with some
of the Partisan banks IN order that he
may have an excuse for hanging about
the counters. He then watches the
banks customers, especially ladies, UNA
when he sees il of them receive from
the clerks any bonds or other scrip to
bearer he quietly makes o note of the
persons name and the numbers on the
documents. Having %=certained lhc ad-
dress of his proposed victim, b. calls
there later in the day OF early the next
morning, and representing that he IS d
clerk from the bank, asks for the securi-
ties, alleging that there is some little in
formality in them that has to be recti-
fed. AS he is armed with the numbers,
in nine cases out of ten the customer
gives up the documents quite unsuspect'
ingly.
So far this ingenious swindier has
eluded all efforts to detect him. He Is
described as a gentlemanly looking man,
who wears the rosette Of an officer" Of

being thought not sufficiently imposing
now that such decorations are so plenti-
ful.-London Daily News.

The Katydid Was q Rather.

There was a decided connection at the
home of J. D. Wells, in East Sedalia, re-
Gently. For several days Mrs. Wells had
heard a peculiar buzzing in the closet
where wearing apparel was kept, and
was Of the opinion that the noise was
made by a captive katydid. Several
times she was on the point of making an
investigation, but household duties dis
tracted her attention and she failed to
make the search. Saturday her husband
went into the closet to secure a heavy
pair Of trousers which he intended to
don on account Of the cool weather.
Taking them from the hook, he gave
them vigorous shake, when out dropped
a rattlesnake 3 feet in length, the reptile
being what the occupants Of the house
had mistaken for a katydid.-Sedalia

Testing a Ducking Stool,

An ancient ducking stool for scolding
wives is still preserved at Fordwich,
England. The other day some anti
~quarians, anxious to test the apparatus,
found a youth who was willing to don
female attire and go through the ordeal.
The apparatus speedily ducked the lad
into the river, but refused to pull him
out again, and but for timely assistance
he would have been drowned.-London

Stability of Minnesota Banks.

A remarkable and very gratifying
fact is the statement made few days
ago by Mr.. Eckel, comptroller of cur
rency, that the National banks of
Minnesota stood at the head as sound
institutions at present, and that none
of them had failed. Also, that
the State banks that have failed were
only those that were badly managed.
This is very pleasing and reasuring
to nervous people who take alarm at
every false rumor; and induces us to
repeat what The Sun said some time
ago,-that the banks of Morris are
as solid as rocks.

How to See the Worlds Fair,

Assuming that many of our readers
will be able to spend only week at
the Fair, the following program is
offered by sight-seer of much ex-
perience: Devote the first day to
view of the grounds, approaching if
possible, by boat from Chicago, and
landing at the great pier. Start from
the Manufactures building, passing
the statue of the Republic around the
foot OF the Basin to the noble Agri-
cultural Building then Machinery
Hall, the second day can be wholly
spent in the Manufactures and Liber-
al Arts Building, and even then only
a general impression can be carried
away. The third day can be given
to tour of Machinery Hall, the
Mines, Electricity and Transportation
Buildings. The fourth day spend in
the Building of Agriculture, where
are eighteen acres of exhibits. The
fifth day one should visit the Wom-
ems and Chlldren's Buildings, where
a few hours may be pleasantly spent
The greater part of this day should
be devoted to the magnificent display
of painting, engraving and sculpture
in the Fine Arts Building. The sixth
day we will spend the morning in
the Midway Plaisanee, where are
many curious attractions. In the
afternoon one may take a farewell
walk through the main grounds
and a parting glance at the grand
buildings and we have seen some
/, thing of the Columbian Exposition,
