 Garihaldi was in receipt of money regularly from his friends in Italy, and also from well-to-do Americans who were in sympathy with the cause whose father he was. Meucci, who had been for years at the head of the mechanical department of the grand operas in Rome and Milan, and who, driven from Italy by political enmities, had found haven in Cuba, had amasscd about sGJ,- 900, which in those days and in the way they lived was an ample fortune.
 Little by little, what with Meucci's experiments and his open-handednes and his association with people who had keencr eyes and nimbler fingers for the dollar than he had, his money dwindled and he died poor, more or less the ward throughout his later years of the societies of his countrymen.

Lazza- ri, who owns the Hotel Caprera, on the hill just above the brewery, has offered to donate plot in the middle of the chestnut grove adjoining the hotel, and have there rebuilt cut of the old mate rials the kettle, as it is known to peo- pie whereabouts.
 There has been talk, too, among lead ing Italians of taking out the old cop per and having it coined into souvenir medals and sold. Unless this is done it is more than likely that Garibaldis old candle factory, which has stood there in the brewery yard for over forty years, will just disappear alto gether,
