STARVING ITALIANS.
Frightsui Misery and saiRerins Through
out Italy.

FrightSul Misery and 6u6erln8 Through
out Italy.
Temporary tranquility has been re-
stored in Italy and Sicily, where the
italian government has been in conflict
with ar archists and revolutionists.
With the Withdrawing Of troops, how
ever, from the disturbed districts Il is
probable that trouble will break out
anew. The poverty and suffering
among the people are appalling.
Misery reigns everywhere, and in the
rein0ter rural districts men, women
and children are dying daily OF actual
hunger. An idea OF what 10 going
on in the interior Of Italy may
be gathered from the fact, official
" admitted, that 200 persons, the
entire population Of the village
Of Roghudi Calabria, suddenly arrived
ct Cattanova n day last week, ragged
and shOeless, the younger men carry
ing the old folks and the women their
children. Many ere in = pitisble
state Of exhaustion. Several women
had dead children In their arms, and
two or three old men had died on the
way. They declared that they had
left the village because unless they
left they would die Of starvation.
There was not . scrap Of food In the
place when they left, and nothing was
growing on the land.
The only way IN which the govern
ment can stop the present discomfort
and end the prevailing wretchedness
Of the people 10 by establishing relief
works and reducing taxation. But
this the bankrupt government cannot
do. Az . member OF the triple aili-
ance Italy must grind the people to
maintAin her nOrm army.

that the attack vas nothing moro than
vertigo. Mr.. Childs lay down, and DR..
J. NJ. Da Costa, his family physician,
was sent for. When DR.. Da Costa ar
rived he found that Mr.. Childs had
had q slight stroke of paralysis, due,
as the physicians have since learned,
to the breaking OF q small blood yes
sci in the head and the formation on
the brain Of q small clot of blood.
Another physician was called in.
The doctors at the time did not appre-
prehend any fatal results, as the
paralysis was slight and did not great
~ affect his limbs, and they had a
good basis to work upon in Mr.. Childs'
splendid constitution and orderly life.
For more than q week Mr.. Childs' con.
diti0n did not grow any worse, but on
the contrary showed slight signs OF
Improvement. The clOt of blood
on the brain, however, was not
absorbed, as often happens in
similar cases. and after q week the
paralysis fegan to Progress slowly.
Shortly before 10 o'clock on the night
of his death MI. Childs' respiration
became embarrassed and his pulse be.
gan TO flag. His physicians recognized
the signs OF approaching dissolution,
and although everything that medical
science and skill could do to prolong
life was done Mr.. Childs sank rapidly.
and at 3:01 o'clock the generous heart
that beat 90 kindly for his fellow-men
was stilled in death. Except his wife,
Mr.. Childs had no immediate family.

Few men have filed so wide q niche
In modern American history as George
w. Childs. He was not great in the
tense that statesmen have been great;
ho wa q follower OF successful soldiers
rather than their leader in the forma-
ton of public opinion. He was not a
publicist In the sense that Horace
Greeley was q publicist. He did not
rank or pretend to rank with men like
Garrison, Phillips, Everett, Lovejoy
and the old phalanx of abolitio nists: and
the politicians trade was wholly foreign
to his nature. Mr.. Childs ra.ely sought
to lead public sentiment. and never
in His career did he SO dictate the pol.
icy OF the Philadelphia Ledger as &c
make it an aggressive factor in public
affairs. To profit by the accretion al.
ready gained; to build up in conserva-

was the chief secret of Mr.. Childs'
power for good. That he did a world
