HEADSMAN OF NAPLES.
Death In Exile of Man Who Had Taker
Many Lives.


Many Lives.
From the New York Tribune.
On the little island OF Ustica, forty
miles from Palermo, Italy, there died
the other day a man who was for years
the terror of the people of Naples and
the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. He
was Gaetano Impellizzeri, once the
headsman under Ferdinand II, OF Ma
Piles. The useless executions attributed
to Imperlizzeri are countless. and, with
the cruelty which he showed, led to his
denunciation by Mr.. Gladstone forty
year ago in the philippines which the
statesman directed against Ferdinand.
The executions were only in part pub
lie; II was the executions in secret
usually at night-which gave the man
his power. 1t was he who executed in
San Francisco place, Naples. the Gala
brian Agesilas Mflanoque. who on Dec.
8. 1856. had made a bayonet thrust at
King Ferdinand III, and patriots in
Vulnerable became his victims.
When Garlbaldi entered Naples in
September, 1860. the excited populace
went in search of the hated headsman,
but he cared much for his own life,
although he though little of that of
others, and escaped with his wife.
Later he was imprisoned on the island
OF Ustica, where he became an officer of
the fort built in those days TO protect
the island against pirates. He was In
receipt of a pension. of S. a month
much more than he deserved. He was
81 years old at the time of his death.

eight directors OF the Bark OF England,
in addition to number OF prominent
members of the industrial classes and
labor organizations. The league is con-
vinced that the bankers anti-bimetallic
memorial was inspired by Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, the former chancellor
OF the exchequer, being forced to sup
port the bimetallic resolutions in the
house OF commons when he saw the
possibility OF having to appoint dele
gates to a conference. The league ex-
plains the absence OF Mr.. Bafour's sig
nature by saying that he and Mr.. Heury
Chaplin thought it discourteous to sign
memorial addressed to the leader OF the
house OF commons, when they were lead
ing his opponents.

Mexico Mints.

The government OF Mexico has resum-
ed control OF the mints, and will hereaf-
ter levy a uniform tax OF five per cent.on
all the gold and silver contained in the
ore mined in the country, without regard
to where it is smelted. For several years
the mints have been leased to private in
dividuals, who, while they have charged
a mintage tax, have put it on some
what different basis from that proposed
by the government. The charge for
minting gold and silver has been almost
Az per cent. while the government has
collected in addition 81 OF one per cent,
making a tax OF over five per cent. to be
paid by all Mexican mine owners having
their ores coined into money in Mexico,
while those who sent their product to
smelters either in the United States or
Mexico escaped the tax. 1t was this
condition OF affairs that induced the gov
ernment to assume control OF the mints,
and to tax all ore irrespective OF where
/ it is treated.

SILVER In ENGLAND.
The Coming Election Will be Watched
With Interest.
The Timetable League is Pleased at the
Turn Affairs in England are
Taking.

Ballard Smith, the London cores
pondent OF the World, thus cables:
Doubtless the question in the coming
general election in the United Kingdom
OF the most Importance to the United
States will be the influence OF the result
upon the international monetary confer
ence, should it be called this year by
Germany, the United States or by any
other government, that is to say its in
huence upon Great Britain's attitude in
that conference. Ii the liberals secure q
majority in the next parliament, it may
be accepted as almost certain that the
instructions to the English delegates will
be, as at Brussels, hostile to any inter
national bimetallc agreement But il the
unionists come in there is strong prob
ability that the delegates will have quite
different instructions from those at
Brussels, ii indeed the instructions are
not directly in favor OF an agreement in
cluding England ii it can be made prac-
ticable.
Two of the most influential members
OF the unionist government, Mr.. Ballour
and Mr.. Chapin, are pronounced bimet-
allists. Mr.. Goschen is believed ,on writ
ten authority, to be an open mind upon
the question, while Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, the new chancellor OF the eXche-
quer, has very recently expressed the
opinion that an international attempt
''to diminish the use OF gold in the coin
age, and to increase the use OF silver"
would he of an advantage to the world
This certainly can only be construed as
an expression favorable to an internd-
tianal bmeallic agreement, although he
coupled it with warning against any
bnt the most careful interference witt
the present currency system. AS Sll

commerce on the evening of May /, last,
and was given practically verbatim re-
port in the Bristol Mirror OF the follow
ing morning. 1t is curious fact that no
London paper has yet alluded to the
speech in commenting on the new minis
try. Sir Michael has discussed at great
length the depression OF the English
manufacturing as well as agricultural in
terests, and expressed the fear that the
competition from the United States, In
dia and Japan may hereafter be even
more prejudicial than now to England's
manufactured as well as 10 her agricul-
tural products.
During the dinner, he continued, the
mayor OF Bristol and he had a little per-
sonal discussion on bimetallism. He
would simply say that he did not think
there was any more abstruse or more
difficult question than the question con-
nected with the currency OF the country.
He did not think there was any question
OF graver Importance to the welfare OF
the country than that connected with
the currency. They thought these mat
tiers on which in party politics they
differed OF grave moment-and so they
were-but he would venture to tell them
that mistake in dealing with the cur
rency in this country might bring as
much ruin to Great Britain as any polit-
ical change in contemplation at the pre-
sent time could intlict. What he would
say was this He thought it was proved
that gold had appreciated in recent
wears. He thought it clear that this ap'
probation OF gold in the main was an
injury to the country and he should like
to see an international attempt-ior sc
only could it be suctessful-to diminish
the use OF gold in the coinage and in
crease the use OF silver.
He thought that with the increased
production OF gold they now saw in
west Australia and South Africa such al
attempt might really have a very grca
effect in stopping at any rate the fur
ther appreciation OF gold, and he believed
il that could be done it would he Il yer.

How Unused Railway Tickets May he Re-
deemed at Slight Cost.
Some men with valuable unused rail
way tickets ON their hands sell them to
scalpers, while others go TO the railway
company that issued them and obtain
their value in money. Most men, how
ever, do neither, and accept tho loss
when the ticket is worth less than dol
lar. Indeed, many men do not realize
that railway companies stand ready to
redeem unused tickets oven of small
value, so that the companies must BIO
richer by many thousands of dollars
per year by reason Of this neglect or ig-
norance.
Every railway ticket bears the name
Of tho general passenger agent Of the
road issuing the same. 1t is simple
matter to inclose tho ticket with u lot
ter directed to tho general passenger
agent asking him to refund the money
paid and explaining the reason why
the ticket is left unused in the hands of
the purchaser. 1t is courteous to inclose
a stamped envelope in which tho money
may be returned
When all these things have been done
the company usually acknowledges the
receipt of tho ticket holders communi-
cation and promises to investigate the
matter Tho investigation consists in
the proper Identification of the ticket
and little bookkeeping to set all right
In the accounts Then tho purchaser re-
ceives from the company a check for the
amount due, along with letter request
ing acknowledgment on the part of the
recipient. That closes the transaction
and there is no material loss on either
side. New York Sun.

CHINESE JUeeLERs.
Some OF the Strange and Startling Feats
That They Perform.


Chinese jugglers and Indian fakirs
have pretty much the same "stock in
trade" Here is an account of some
tricks performed 10y Chinese:
When the conjurer asked the specta-
tors what they wanted to see, some one
called for pumpkin.
"a pumpkin" answered the conjur-
er; "that Is impossible Pumpkins are
out Of season.
However, he was only talking, for
presently he took a pumpkin seed and
planted it in the earth. Then, having
made his little son, 4 or years old, lie
down, he thrust knife into his throat
The blood poured out into vessel, and
with 1t the man moistened the spot
where the seed had been planted.
Next he covered the corpse with a
cloth and placed wooden bell over the
seed In few moments sprout was
seen rising from the soil 1t grew and
grew and burst into flower. The flower
fell, the pumpkin showed itself and in
creased in size with extraordinary ra-
pidity.
AS soon as it was ripe the man picked
it from the stalk, showed it to the pub
lie and took up a collection, after
which, of course, he lifted the cloth
and found the boy perfectly unframed
The second feat, by different per-
former, was even more startling. A
peach was called for by one of the spec
tators
"It is March," said the magician.
"The land is still icebound. Peaches
are not to be obtained now except in
paradise. 4"
ooh, WE'LL" answered the spectators,
"you are sorcerer and ought to be
able to bring peach down from heav-
Ell.
The conjurer grumbled, but finally
consented to see what he could do, He
began by weaving roll of ribbon,
which he cast into the air. 1t took at
once the shape Of a ladder, which went
up to q tremendous height. On it he
placed child, and the little fellow ran
up the rungs like monkey. Up, up he
went till he vanished in the clouds,
Some moments passed, then peach
dropped from the sky. The magician
picked it up, cut it into slices and of
fered it to the bystanders TWAS rea,
peach.
Then horrible thing happened. The
head of tho child dropped out of the
sky and was followed by the trunk and
then the legs. With tears in his eyes the
man picked them up and placed then
in box. But after much show of griei
and after tho sympathetic spectators had
taken up collection for his benefit he
opened tho box and said, Come forth
my child, and thank these kind gentle
men" At tho word out leaped the child
alive and we'll Times
