RELICS OF GARlBALDI.
His House On Staten Island to Be
 Torn Down,
The tsreat italian Occupied It for Two yesrs-with His Compatriot Meueei He Grew Grapes and Flowers
 Within It's Inciosure.

For many and many year now the members of the Italian colonies in and around New York have counted as a sort of little Mecca the place on Staten island where, in the term of his exile from Italy, the patriot Garibaldi lived and wrought and planned. He left upon the neighborhood around Rose bank, and upon its people, the impress of his character, and to this day they speak of him.
 The house where he lived, together with his colRborer, Meucci, Is a plain Gothic affair, on the grounds of the Bachman Brewing company just stone's throw back from the Rosebank station. Over Its door is q marble tab let, put there some years ago by the Italian societies, telling that Garibaldi, the hero of two worlds, had lived there from 1851 to 1853, Vines, clambering about the piazza, where the two Ital- ian geniuses used to sit, conceal in summertime the tablet from the view of passersby, but they stare in through the fence, with it's tall palings, at the garden where Garibaldi used to grow grapes and flowers and garden truck.
 All about the vicinity building Is go- ing on, says the World, There are all sorts of evidence that business, which is no respecter of relies or anything else, is crowding the old shrine. But still the garden gate is closed against the stranger, still you have to get from the brewery office the key to get look in at the workshop of Garibaldi and Meucci, shadowy little room on the top floor of the house with windows facing the bay.
 There arc still the tools with which those two clever men tinIered at vari- ous devices there are fragments of their handiworll, bits of numbering app paratus by which Meueci. a man of most fertile mind, was working cut his discovery of the telephone, of which. he used solemnly to assert fin his life' time, he was the original inventor

 The Novel Treatment Undergone by In
 valids In Italy.
 There is nothing particularly entic- ing ip the sound of mud baths, and those who have tried them at Homburg and other places find them not agree able as experiences, however efiicaciou they may be as treatment. At most spas the process is simply that of pour ing mud into ones bath, but at some Italian baths to which the fashionably sick are turning a traveller, who has taken them, finds that they are quite different The mud, in a very hot and almost dvv form. much of the consist encc of brick clay, is applied locally to those parts of the body which are af- fected The patient lies on a straw bed, on which is placed n sheet. Tho attendant having aScertained the sJlf fering parts, daubs them to the thick ness of several inches with the mud The invalid. covered with a hot sheet or blankets, lies for half an hour, per spiriug freely, then gets into e hot sul- phur bath, is thoroughly cleansed, rubbed dry. and returns to a bed arti- icially warmed where the pcrspiration continues for an hour or so longer. This treatment is repeated almost every morning for about twenty days, and is of agcGt yaiuc in ell manifesto tions of rheumatism The mud is du: out of a mountain a few miles from the spa and brought to the establishment and allowed to soak for several years in tanks of boiling sulphur water until required for use

 the ih.pnriant Question:
 The ae'iaf, ci the federal governfnept in setting Upart certain large tracts of the publie forest lands in the west as reserves" was outlined recently in these columns. Likewise, the value of these vast forests wns refcrred 10 in their relation 70 the great irrigating systems of the west and thcir utility in supplying future timber demands. As therein remarked, the mere creating of these reserves was but an incomplete measure, unless some permanent sys- tenn of federal forestry was also soon adopted. At present the reserves are under the control of the land office of the department Of tEe interior, subject only to such limited eafe as its agents can bestow, which is slight,
 Last summer the army was sought by the secretary of the interior for details to protect from depredations some of the reserves. The acting judge advo cate gave an opinion thatit was not law ful to employ troops upon sueh duty un- less expressly directed by congress. Under this decision it seems that the details that have hitherto guarded, ex- cept during the winter months, the Yellowstone, Yosemite, Sequoia and Gen. Grant parks will be withheld this year.
 A bill now before congress in refer ence to the public forests authorizes the secretary of war to furnish details of troops ppon acquisition of the seere- tary of the interior to protect these reservations. But why not carry the subject step further, as has been sug- gested by forest advocates, and reach the heart of the question: Substitute bill placing the public forests that arc withdrawn from public entry by settlers absolutely under the control of the army. Commence at the begin ming and make forestry a department at West Point with a portion of the conveniently situated highlands as an experimental station Provide for as signing portion of the graduates of the academy each year to command a specially enlisted forestry guard to carry out system of scientific and practical forestry upon these reserva- tions, It is ventured to predict, the more this plan is considered, the more one will find in it a simple and logical solution of pending vital question. It furnishes Q new field of activity to the army; it insures fidelity to the national interests. It would give permanency and capability at once to the forestry system

UNEQUAL PUNISHMENT.
Different States Treat Criminals with Va
 rying Degrees of Severity.

DlUerent States Treat Criminals with Va
 rying Degrees of Severity.
 Probably few people are aware, says the Springfield (Mass.) Union, of the -rcat difference in the severity of pun ishmcnt for the same crime which ex- ists in different states, but the matter has been fully discussed in a paper by Fred w. Wines, which was read at the meeting of the National Prison assoeia- tion at St, Paul Mir. Wines claims that the existing penal system is un- just in some respect iu almost every state, and the facts given in support of his statement are decidedly interest ing. In some states there Is no capital punishment for murder, while in others the death penalty is inflicted for what in comparison are minor crimes. If it is right to spare the life of man who commits brutal mur- der in Michigan, it is certainly wrong to hang wretch who has been caught setting fire to dwelling at night, as is done in Montana. Nearly all the south ern states punish arson with death, and in some burglary is a capital CIliHt' III 4hloHOuIi bIlt puulSnUenb for perjury is death, while in New Hampshire, Connecticut and Ken. tucl1y the maximum sentence for per jury is five years, In Maine, Mississippi and Iowa, however, the perjurer may be sent to prison for life, while in Del aware for the offense is justifiable by fine. The severest punishment in- flicted in Delaware for incest is fine of one hundred dollars, in Virginia six months in jail, and in Louisiana the death penalty is exacted.
 It is clear that when the punishment for a given crime varies from the exac- ton of small. fine to hanging, great injustice is done somewhere, and it is well that men are studying the ques- tion with a view to correcting the evil.

CONFLICTING STORIES.
Schweitzer and McGfnn Differ
Concerning Hade.

Schweitzer and McGinn Differ
Concerning Hade.
A statement was published in the
GLOBE yesterday from John Hade, a
soldier in the regular army at Fort
Smelling, to the effect that he was
obliged to pay s24 for the return by the
police of a buffalo coat belonging to
him.
The statement of Hade's Is indignant
ly denied by Capt. Schweitzer. of the
central station. Schweitzer says Hade,
while drunk. had his coat taken from
him by a citizen, and that it was turned
oyer to the police for safe keeping.
In connection with the same affair,
Chief of Detectives McGInn gives an
entirely different version. According
to McGinn'S story Hade carouSed about
the city with a woman, and after spend
ing all his money left his coat at a
resort on Jackson street for a bill of $50.
McGinn says Hade then made a roar,
but put up the go" before getting back
his coat.
The denials of the two officials, it
will be noticed, are slightly at variance.
but neither one deny in the main the
statements of Hade. From what could
be learned at the central station. and at
that place and time he did not pay n
money. Hade could not be reached
last evening to ascertain at what par
ticular sport, or to whom, he paid the

TONIGHT,s e
Several Noted Men to Speak at the
Commercial Club.


Secretary Danforth, Of the CONNER
cial club, stated last evening that the
dinner to be given tonight at the club
by railway, express, mail and telegraph
men gives promise of being one of the
most successful and in many ways
unique of the series. The preliminaries
for this occasion were placed in the
hands of E. d. SewalI, commercial
agent of the Milwaukee road. The pro-
gramme is not. entirely complete, as a
number of those it is desirable to have
participate are absent from the city.
Practically, the order of exercises viii
comprise the following: Gen. Becker,
of the state railroad and warehouse
commission, will expatiate upon what
the railroads owe TO the city. A. B..
Stickney. of the Chicago Great Western.
will handle the inverse of this proposi-
tion-what the city owes to the rail-
roads. Supt.F. b. Daniels,of the Amer
lean EXPRESS company. will speak on
matters akin to that class of business.
Mail mems interests will be looked
after by Postmaster Castle; the traffic
question will be handled by A. G. Bird,
freight traffic manager of the Milwau-
kee; passenger matters will not be al
lowed to go by without a capable ex-
horter. Marcus D.. Grover, the Great
Northern's legal luminary. will officIate
as POSTMASTER. A number of i'm
promptu speeches will also be made.

Como Avenue May Be Placed I'm.
der the N. +. Tracks.
The board of public works yesterday
took up the matter of a change of grade
on Como avenue from Maryland to
Union street. In this connection the
policy of the council regarding the
bridging Of the Northern Pacific tracks
Oh Como wen was discussed. City
Engineer Rundlett presented a profile
showing that the bridging of the tracks
would necessitate a great change in the
grade of the street. The plan of hav-
ing the venue go under the tracks was
also brought up, and as this plan would
reduce the cost at least $500 0 from
what it would cost to erect a bridge, the
plan was looked on with much favor.
Mr.. Rundlett said the crossing could be
expense of SIS, 900 The only objection
to this was that there could be only
head room in the tunnel of about thir-
teen feet. and this might MOI be consid-
cred enough. 1t was finally decided to
lay the matter over two weeks and send
a report to the council to ascertain
whether that body was in favor of going
under the tracks or bridging.
The bids for planting trees on Good
rich and Lincoln II were rejected
and the clerk directed to r%eadvertise for

at the advice of the city attorney. who

Nothing New reported OF the SuS-
poets in Custody.
According to the police there were no
new developments in the Erickson muir
der mystery yesterday. Meyers is still
at the central station, and is not allowed
to hold communication with anyone
but the detectives. Mckinney is at the
Margaret street station. and, according
TO reports, was given a sweat" yester-
day, but nothing in particular II a
would connect either he or Meyers with
the murder was brought out3
A week or SO previous to the murder
some unknown parties stole a number
of hams and a hog from Eriekson's
butcher shop, and also made of with
several hams and a dressed sheep from
a butcher shop on Collins street, near
Bedford. The butcher on Collins street
saw the fellow that stole the articles
from his shop, aud yesterday he was
given a look at Meyers. He, however.
at once stated that Meyers was not the
person who had robbed him. The
theory of Chief of Detectives McGinn
is that Meyers was the person who stole
hams from Erickson's shop. and the
motive for the murder was that Meyers
feared that Erickson would have him
arrested, and in order to prevent this
killed him. . Meyers has now been
locked up for three days, and it is ex-
pected he will be aTraigned in the police
court this morning.

Ability to Find Evidence of

, For months past 1t has been the prac-
tice of the police and detective depart

reported to rush out ana arrest fIom six

the crime was murder, highway rob-

oeen made, or at least none OF the
"boys" have been arrested.
Another instance Of this system OF
capturing alleged criminals came up IN
the police court yesterday. Sunday
night E. J.. Dahl was assaulted and
robbed of a large amount or money on
Locust street by two men, who left him
lying on the sidewalk i'll a semi-con-
scious condition.
A boarding house on Thirteenth street
was visited by the police and ten OF the
inmates were arrested OF suspicion OF
being concerned in the robbery. five
of those arrested were discharged when
arraigned in court and three held for an
examination on a charge of highway
robbery.
The three held were William Smith,
James Church and Edward Bertram, and
when their cases were called in the
police court yesterday they were dis
charged on motion of the assistant
county attorney on the ground that
there was not sufficient evidence to
justify All examination. Church and

O'MALLY GUILTY.
So the Jury Found Him Of Hold
ing Up Banker.

The trial of Walter O'Mally. on the
charge OF participating In holding up
Charles NJ. Banker last October, was
concluded yesterday, and the case wen
to the jury about 5 O'Clock. The trial
has been closely contested b. MIR. Erwin
for the defense, and that gentleman took
occasion to score the detectives in his
closing speech. as we'll as 10 pay his re-
spects to the present city administra-
ton. He warmed himself up to the
subject by abiding to the testimony
that O'Mally had slept in a barn. Pin
ioning Mr.. Butler with extended finger
he said: "Mr. County Attorney. the
Savior of mar was born in a manger."
Mr.. Erwin then proceeded to talk about
the "man hunters" and said the sleuths
that have slept for two long years
started out to arrest a man on suspicion.
They heard of a man who was lying at
home, and, slipping past the mother at
the door, they arrested O'Mally on suS-
picion, and now it is sought to convict
him when the prosecuting witness de-
clares that he does not identity him.
The jury returned into court shortly
after 9 O'Clock last night with a verdict
of guilty, as charged in the indictment.
Walter Shumaker, of counsel for the
defense, moved for a stay OF proceed
ings until Friday, and the stay was
granted by Judge Willis, and O'Mally
was remanded TO jaii.
