FORMER ROMAN CENSORSHIP
1t Was Absurdly Severe Many Thing. FRO
hibited.


The laws of political and ecclesiasti-
cal censure had come again into forcr
in Italy and actors had to contend with
very serious difficulties in observing
the innumerable erasures and the lili
culous substitutions which the censors
made in their lines. The words God" -"
"Redeemer," Madonna" "angel, "
saint" "pontiff," purple" monsig-
nor" priest" were forbidden, says
an Italian actor writing in The Ccn-
hoy Religion. "Republic," unity, ;"
"Freuch, Jesuit" "Tartuf'e, "for-
eigner," "patriot," were equally in the
index.
The colors green, white, and red wero
prohibited; yellow and black, and vel
low and white were also forbidden.
Flowers thrown on the stage must not
show any of these colors prominently,
and if it Glanced that one actress had
white and green in her dress, another
who wore red ribbons must not come
near her.
If we transgressed we we're not pun-
ished with simple warnings but with 50
many days of arrest and with fines,
which varied in amount according TO
the gravity of the offense.
remember we'll one night when I
played the captain in Goldoni's "Sposa
Sagace," L was fined 10 scudi for wear
ing blue uniform with red facings and
white ornaments, for the excellent rea.
son that the blue looked green by arti-
ticial light.
Another time our leading actress was
playing Marie Stuart and had to receive
the dying David Rizzio In her arms and
to kiss him on the forehead just as he
drew his last breath. I had to pay 20
scuGi for the kiss l had received with.
out being aware of it! The priests
plainly knew their own minds and they
did not falter in chastising the erring.
The reader can well imagine the effect
upon art of all this interference and
torment. Art indeed was treated as a
culprit. Nevertheless the public con-
tinued to fill our house, to applaud and
to be entertained, and it had then a
much truer feeling for artistic beauty
than 1t has to day.

Tho his step was slow and totterin' and d',wa.
hard to travel there;
But he hungered for the gospel So he trudgcc
the weary way,
On the road SO rough and dusty, meath thC
suns hot, burning ray,
BY and by he reached the building, to his
soul holy place;
Then he paused and wiped the sweat-arops
from off his wrinklcd face,
And he looked around beWidcrcd, for the
old bell did not toll
Aud the doors were shut and bolteC, and lie
did not see soul.
So he leaned upon his pllsrim-staif, and said,
"what does it mean ?'
And he looked this and that way, till it seem
ed to him a dream.
He had walked the dusty highway (and he
breathcd a heavy sigh)
JllSt,to go once more to meetin ere the sum
mons came to die
Soon he saw Il little notice tackled up on lie
meetin door,
So he limped along to read it, and he read it
DER and DER;
Then he wiped his dusty glasses, and hc read
it Ger again,
And his limbs began to tremb'c and hiN eyes
were full OF pain,
As the Old man read the notice, now it made
his spirit burn
Pastor absent on vacutiou--church is closed
till his return
Then he staggered slowly back ward and sat
hlm down to think,
For bis soul was stirred Within nlm, uiI lie

SO he moved along and wondered; to himself
soliloquised-
Il have lived till almost eighty, and wasn't
ever so surprised,
As read that !dest notice stuck up on tn,

Pastor absent on vacation'-never lie / the

''Why, when first Joined the meetin' very
many years ago,
Preachers travelled on the circuit, in the heat

Would the farmer leave his cattle, or the
shepherd leave his sheep?
Who would give them care and shelter, or
provide them food to eat?
So it strikes me very sing lar, when a man OF
holy hands
thinks he needs to have vacation, and for

Did St. Paul git such notion? Did a Wes-

Did they i'll the heat Of summer turn from

Did they shut up their mcetin', lust to 20

why, surely then, If thus they did, Satan

''And shall the preachers of the gospel pack

Are the souls of saints and sinners valued

Aluminium Tickets.

The latest use for aluminium is for
street car tickets, and it must be con-
coded that the metal is singularly
adapted for the purpose, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. A street railway has Just
made its first issue of these light and or
namental tickets, which are about the
size of a silver quarter dollar. One is
round, for ordinary fare, the other &C.
tagonal for children. The adults ticket
is sold by the railroad company to the
public at the rate of six for a quarter,
and the child's ticket at the rate of ten
for a quarter.
The company does not allow its en-
ployes, either conductors or motormen,
TO sell the tickets to the public, and dis
poses of them in ten dollar lots to the
several storekeepers, who handle them
exclusively. This method of distribut-
ing the tickets overcomes to certain
extent the difficulties which have always
attended the sale of tickets by employees
in connection with the receipt of cash
fares. The aluminium ticket has also
the great advantage of requiring no can
collation.. AS soon as the tickets are
turned in by the public to the railroad
company they are done up in packages
and sold again.
1t is said that the tickets are much ia
favor in Kalamazoo, where they have
been introduced, and that they are
handled by great many storekeepers,
and even by some of the banks as cash.
The use Of the tickets does not clash in
any way with that of the ordinary
quarter, from which it is easily distin.
guished, both by the difference shade of
the metal and by its lightness.

WYTHEyILLE, Va, Oct. 27.-The Rev.
DR.. NJ. b. Taylor was hanged at Wise
Court House at 9. 20 TODAY. He had main
ever since Sunday, when he administered
the last sacrament to himself and wife in
front of the county Jail.
The refusal of the governor and the
supreme court to interfere was made
known to him late Wednesday night. He
talked freely of his condition and future
hopes, but denied himself to all reporters.
He ate heavy supper last night, slept
until daylight and after a light breakfast
returned again to bed where he remained
until 10 o'clock.
A large crowd assembled In townto hear
the funeral sermon which the sheriff had
given him permission to preach. His adj
dress covered period of one hour and a.
half, and was delivered from the second
story of the court house. His voice was
strong and clear as he took his text from
Revelations Ill, 20, but was tremulous at
times, and he neryed himself with numer-
Gus drinks of wine.
He frequently asserted that he had no
fear of the future, would surely enter
heaven, and invited all to meet him there.
He closed with an admonition to all to
shun evil and asked the crowd to sing
How Firm Foundation"
AFTER ne concluded his sermon he was
taken back to the county jail and was as
sisted to the platform of the scaffold by
Sheriff Holbrook. He read other chapters
from the Bible, prayed and signified his
readiness to die. His manner was stoical
until the sheriff drew the white cap over
his face, when he began to tremble, reeled
and fell. He was raised to his feet, the
rope adjusted to his neck, and at 30 the
trap was sprung.
In is minutes he was dead from strangu-
lation. His body was turned over to
friends, whom he had requested TO keep it
until Sunday.

BANKS EXEMPT FROM TAX.
An Important Decision Rendered by
Pennsylvani,. Judge.

Pennsylvania Judge.
CuAMBERsBuRG, Pa, Oct. 26.-Judge
Archibald of Lackawanna county, has
just filed an opinion in the Franklin
county courts which is of vital interest
to all national banks of the State. The
case was that of the National Bank of
Chambersburg against William L. Gel
wicks, assessor of the Fourth ward The
case was tried before Judge Archibald
last summer, Judge Stewart declining to
sit owing to his connection with the
bank. 1t involved the right of the State
to collect from the national banks the
four mills tax imposed on money at in
terest. In 1891 the revenue law was
amended SO as to subject banks TO this
tax, and the auditor-general instructed
the county commissioners to assess and
collect such taxes. The Chambersburg
Bank filed bill to restrain its assess
is illegal. Judge Stewart issued q pre-
liminary injunction, and Judge Arch
bald now makes it permanent.
Judge Archibald in his decision holds
that national banks are agencies of the
national government, and as Congress
has allowed them to be taxed by the
States only in two particulars, namely,
real estate and shares, tax upon their
personal property is beyond the States
powen He says;
"On the one hand, If the tax be de-
clared unlawful, it withdraws from the
reach of the State vast amount of
property, held not only by this but by
other national banks, which would
ordinarily be subject to its sovereign
power, and which is in large measure
indebted to that sovereignty for its
safety and value, if not for its very ex-
istence.
while, ON the other hand, If the tax
be sustained, an agency of the Federal
government may be unduly subjected to
State control and its efficiency as such
seriously perhaps fatally, impaired.
Upon full consideration Of the case, l
am, therefore, of the opinion that the
acts of the defendants complained of in
the bill which are directed towards sub.
1ecting the plaintiff bank to a tax on its
personal property are unlawful and
should be enjoined. The bill is sus-
tanned and the plaintiff is adjudged to
be entitled to the relief therein prayed
for, with COSTS"

LION ar LANCE.
The Beast Roams In New York Stable,
tn thu lraat Tarrnr of TIM pnnnln

to tho Great Terror OF the People.
New YoRK, Oct. 26.--The vicinity of
East Eighteenth street, Irving Place and
Third avenue at 1l.30 o'clock this morning
was in state almost bordering ON a panic.
At 1l3 East Eighteenth street stands d
small yellow two-story brick building. 1t
is used as carpenter shop by John
Spence, while the largest room OH the
ground floor serves at times for stable.
For the past month or 50 five lions in TWO
cages have been confined in this stable.
This morning the largest of the lions,
which is untamable, succeeded INJECTING
loose. The stable was closed up as rapidly
as possible and he was allowed to roam
about the building free.
For time he was apparently quiet and
then he began to annoy the neighborhuod
by his bowling. In this room was also
kept a trotting horse which was TO have
been sent TO Europe tomorrow. The trot-
ting horse and the lions are owned
by Frank Bostock, and the latter were to
be taken to Central Park this afternoon.
An enormous crowd collected around the
place.
About noon Mr.. Bostock and one Of his
assistants succeeded in getting into the
second story of the building. They found
that the horse had been killed, and they
at once began to arrange plans to capture
the lion. After much work the beast was
subdued.
New YoRK, Oct. 27.--The performing
lion, Wallace, which escaped from its cage
yesterday in stable on East Eighteenth
street, was captured this afternoon.
The owner and keeper of the beast re-
manned in the stable all night and pro-
fessed to make every endeayor to capture
Wallace. This morning they renewed
their attempts with but little success.
Later they ran line of hose from the
water tap to the steps leading to the loft,
playing upon the lion, TO his evident an
noyance, for his roars were fierce und
came at short intervals. The water treat
meEt was soon abandoned.
About noon word was received from
Superintendent Byrnes that il the beast
was not captured by nightfall he would
have it shot. This speedily brought about
a change in the tactics that were being EN-
ployed and Wallace was soon netted' and
led into his cage. 4ua
The escape of the lion is said to have
been clever advertising scheme of its
owner to increase its value as show
attraction. Wallace is said to be fully 80
years old and to be toothless. The horse
he killed would have been dear if sold for
more than Sl3,

SOME USEFUL HINTS.


HOW TO promptly treat hltcnen Wounubs
and Save Doctors Bills.
The little article has for its modest

in the proper treatment Of little wounds
received during the fultilment of the

in neglecting even the prick of pin.

treatment Of wounds have opened up

telligence of the public grows there is
less need for doctor from year to year.

When you injure yourself while cutting
bread, grating potatoes, sharpening your
carving knife or in any other way, pro-
cure Immediately some previously boiled
water into which you have thrown

after you have checked the bleeding,
not by cobwebs, but by pressure, APP
piled by means of constructing band
of rubber or twisted piece Of cloth,
wash the injured membe in the carbol-
lied water.
Have always in the house some alb
sorbent cotton and some old, clean linen,
which should be in strips from 2 two 4
inches wide and from half yard to a
yard long. After the wound has been
made perfectly clean, dip some layers
of cotton into clean, carbolized water
and press out the excess of liquid. Then
apply over the wound and wrap up
with the linen strips. The wound will
heal beautifully. A bottle of collodion,
some ammonia water and vial of tine
ture OF iodine should be in every house.

Liquid Glue served to a Pompoua Doctor
for Hair Oil.
In q New England city, not many
miles from Boston, is an old quack doc
tor known throughout the town for his
large supply of "cheek." He had no
regular abiding place, but picked up his
lodgings around at different cheap lodg-
ing houses and lived on the profits Of
his patent medicines. He spent good
deal of his time in u certain drug store,
and moreover he was accustomed to go
there every morning and use the bacl,
shop to make his toilet in. He had an
old greasy bottle of hair oil and brush
and comb, which he kept In the shop
without leave from anybody, says the
Boston Journal The proprietor got
rather tired of having him around SO
much, and therefore he resorted to
strategem to get rid Of him.
He took the hair oil bottle, poured
out the oil and carefully replaced it
with mixture of thin fish glue and
bay rum. Then he put the bottle back
on the shelf in its accustomed place.
The next morning the old quack
showed up, and after some cordial
greetings to the proprietor of the store
he asked leave to use the back shop, as
was his habit.

druggist, "the back shop is always at
your disposal"
Whereupon the old gentleman started
in TO arrange his toilet, Pouring out a
liberal dose Of the mixture In the hair
oil bottle, he rubbed it thoroughly over
his head till his hair was completely
saturated with it. Then be carefully
combed and parted his somewhat long
locks, and placing his old stovepipe hat
squarely on his head he passed out,
wishing the proprietor pleasant good
morning"
He was seen again after several days
by the druggist, but it was not in the
drug store. He was crossing the street
and he wore new soft hat and an
extra close hair cut. The druggist went
down to a neighboring barber shop,
"Did DR.. w. come in here on Wednes-
day ?" he asked.
81 should say he did," replied the
barber, "and a madden man than he
was never stood up"
"What did you do for him?" inquired
the druggist.
