Rome, June 1S.-An attempt to as
sassinate Premier Crispi was made
yesterday. The premier was driving
in his carriage to the chamber of dep
uties when a man suddenly drew re-
volver from his pocket and fired at
him. The premier was not wounded
and, springing from his carriage, he
tried to seize the ould-be assassin.
The latter, however, was almost i'm
mediately seized by a number of peo-
pie who were attracted to the spot by
the report of the revolver. In q mo-
ment the neighborhood was crowded
with excited people vowing vengeance
upon the man who had attempted to
murder the premier
"A rush was made for the man, who
was struggling with his captors near
the premier's carriage. and he would
undoubtedly have been beaten to death
had it not been for the prompt arrival
of the police.
Deputy Pugliese, who was one of
the first to seize the would-be murder
er, picked up the revolver, when the
prisoner was in safe hands, and hand
ed it to the premier, who examined it
curiously and with great GOODNESS.
Signor Crispi was loudly cheered for
the courage he displayed under such
trying circumstances.
He was warmly cheered when he ar.
rived at the chamber of deputies, for
the news of the attempt upon his life
l., \ ID.1 Ii
chamber the premier went to the pres
ident's room and related his story of
the affair quietly as if nothing extra
ordinary had happened.
When the news of the attempted as
sassination became generally known
crowds of deputies and others pushed
their way to the presidents room in
order to congratulate Signor Crispi up
on his escape from death and to ex-
press their admiration of his courage
When the sitting of the chamber of
deputies opened there We're cheers for
the premier, and the president arose
and told the members of the attempt
upon his life severely denouncing the
outrage and expressing the hope that
Signor Crispi's life would be long
preserved to his country.
The would-be assassin gave his name
as Paolo Lega and described himself
as Joiner. 1t has been discovered
that he is a member of several anarch-
list societies, where he is known as
"Marat." He declares that he arrived
in Rome this morning charged with a
mission to kill Premier Crispi and add
ed that he blamed his pistol for having
missed the premier.

extortions will be wrung from unwill-
ing hands Of the committee"
Mr.. PETER followed Mr.. Hid in SUD-
port Of free coal Mr.. Vest soid that
he understood that Mr.. Hill was op-
posed to this bill on account of its in
come tax feature. Mr.. Hills purpose,
the speaker thought, was to elicit some
statement that he could use in fighting
the bill. Mr.. Vest declared that he
would not hesitate to antagonize the
commands of his party on question
like this. If the platform demanded
free coal and he could get only o. re-
ductiOn of 30 cents, he would take it.
Mr.. Chandler expressed an opinion
that coal must be on the free list be-
fore the bill could become a law, bas-
his opinion on the serene confidence"
felt by the Nova Scotia syndicate.
with which Mr.. Whitney is connected,
that when the bill came out of the con-
ference, coal would be on the free list.
There was, he declared, some under
standing with somebody.
Mr.. Hill declared that he opposed
certain features of the bill, the social
list and populisttc income tax In par
ticular, but no one, he declared, had
right to say that he opposed the bill
and was seeking to compass its defeat.
Then a vote was taken on Mr.. Hills
amendment and it was lost, to 81.
Messrs. Allen, Kyle, PETER, populists;
Hill and Irby, democrats; and Hans
brough and Washburn, republicans,
voted in favor of the motion.
Mr. Hill soon after moved to place
coke on the free list. The finance COM
mittee amendment made it dutiable at
10 per cent. The motion was defeated,
to 46, and the committee anne. tlment
was agreed to.
The rate on corks was fixed It ten
cents per pound (house rate 90 per
cent; on dice, chessmen, pool. billiards
and bagatelle balls, 80 per cent. (house
80; on dolls, toys, marbles, and other

Washington, June 19.-After the
transaction of unimportant business
yesterday, the house went into COM
mittee Of the whole to consider the
anti-option bill.
Mr.. Hatch opened the debate with
speech in favor OF the bill.
Mr.. Warner, of New York. delivered
a vigorous speech against the bill, in
which he maintained that while 1t
was ostensibly drawn in the interest
of the farming people, careful read
ing showed that it had been
moakeyed with by some one who was
a thousand times more a miller than
the gentleman from Missouri (Hatch)
was Il farmer"
Mr.. Bryan. of Nebraska, considered
that this bill was to prevent gambling
in certain products and 1T is unjust to
his constituents (who are mainly farm
ers) that no other men should have
the right TO affect the price of their
product, after they had taken the risk
of rain, drouth, grasshoppers and
chinch bugs.

The Effect Of Change.

The Philadelphia Record says: "An
experienced old housekeeper in charge
of a large down town mansion with
few occupants is noted for a queer
manner of tidying up each oom dali
ly between intervals of thorough
cleaning. Sometimes she merely
changes the chairs about in the I'M
used rooms or transposes articles on
the mantelpiece, or taking a broom
circles it once or twice around the
floor. The result is absolute freedom
from mice and rats. She says she
learned years ago from a frontier
hunter that all such animals avoid
places which, to their acute senses,
show signs of recent disturbance. He
informed her that always before ly-
ing down at night on the prairie he
stuck his hunting knife in the ground
and drew it entirely around the place
where he was to sleep. A snake or
any other dangerous prowler would
stop as soon as it came upon the
freshly disturbed earth and beat a
hasty retreat"

Delighted the Stokers.

A pretty story, which has the
merit of being true, is told of a GER
tain professional singer. He had a
beautiful tenor voice, of which he
took the best of care, SO that when
he was crossing the Atlantic one
summer with a party of friends
they We're surprised to find that he
disappeared from view every even
ing at about the same time.
Afraid of the night air., said one
with a slight smile.
Afraid We'll ask him to sing prob
ably" said another, but no n ques-
toned him, as he was known to be
quite immovable from his own way.
But when the last night on board
came a delegation descended to his
stateroom to beg for a song or two
and discovered that he wasnot there.
They looked for him in vain until at
last the captain, who had evidently
kept the secret a. long as he could,
said, pointing in the direction of the
engine room
Il think you'll find him down
there. That's where he's gone every
evening"
Sure enough, when the delegation
arrived at the engine room, they
heard the sound of a guitar and a
voice, and there, lolling against the
wall, was the recreant tenor, singing
his best for the delight of the stokers,
whom he had entertained In this
way for more than an hour every
evening during the voyage.-London

Modelling In Clay Dangerous,

Modelling in clay, which was a pop
ular fad in schools two or three
years ago, has been generally aban-
doned. 1t was found that where
large numbers of children, each after
the other, handled the same clay the
skin diseases of one were commu-
nieated to all. There is really no in
struction in art gained by teachers
amusing their pupils in this way.
The younger scholars like it, but it is
better to let them find their amuse-
ment i'll the mud pies which they
will make without any instruction.
That kind of play may not be good
for the clothes, but it never injured
health.-American Cultivator.

An Amateur HighwayInan.

The late Professor Wilson went
once to spend his holidays at Castle
ton manse as the guest of n of his
favorite old students, the Rev. Angus
Barton. When out fishing one day,
hemet in a lonely part three border
gypsies, who ordered him to stand and
deliver. As he declined, the gypsies
thought to Use force. He was, how
ever one of the best boxers of the
day, and a. they came on he knocked
them down one by one. He then or
dered them each to turn out his peck
cts, which they did, handing him
the sum of f1O. When he returned
to the manse, he handed the money
over to the minister to give to the
poor. He said ''he had been doing a
little bit of border freebooting that
morning."'Family Herald.

Paper Hangers Pastes.

A trade journal says the founda-
ton of good paste is good -four. The
best white wheat -four is the cheap
est in the end, as it goes further and
works smoother.
To make a bucket of paste take
about four pounds of sifted wheat
-four and stir in enough lukewarm
water to make a stiff batter. Keep
on stirring until all Jumps disappear
and the batter is smooth. Then pour
in boiling hot water briskly until the
batter swells and has a cooked ap-
pearance. When ready to use, thin
down with cold water until it car be
spread on the paper easily.
Some paper hangers add about two
ounces of powdered alum, but do not
use alum in paste when made for
felts or solid gold grounds.
To make rye flour paste mix
enough sifted rye flour with cold wa
ter to get the consistency of cream.
Stir until all Jumps disappear; then
place on fire to boil. Keep stirring
until it thickens and becomes yellow
ish in color. When cool, add enough
cold water until quite thin. Do not
use until cold.
To make a strong size for very
rough walls dissolve n pound of
good ground glue to a bucket of hot
water. Stir and s while warm.
Apply with an old pastebrush or
whitewash brush. For ordinary siz-
ing on new walls and walls that have
been papered a half pound of glue to
q bucket of water will be sufficient.

Tough Paper.

The tough paper which comes frsm
China and Japan is made from ma
nilla fiber. The e OF fresh fiber IS
not used, it being too expensive, but
after it has served its purpose as rope
or cordage and has become old it is
carefully picked to pieces, made into
a stringy pulp and manufactured in
to paper. The paper is singularly
strong. When rolled up into a string
or cord, it is a very good substitute
for cotton or fax Irvine. Its strength
is solely due to that of the MANILA,
which is n of the strongest fibers
known to the neutrality-suspicious.
