SUCCI rs DISGUSTED WITH VIENNA.
From The Galignani Messenger.


The fasting champion Signor Giovanni Succi. is
now at Vienna. He had originally intended fasting
all through :he Lenten season. but was given to
understand that his doing so would meet with the
severe displeasure OF the Roman Catholic citizens
He now finds that the authorities are bent on
thwarting him at every turn On his arrival he had
applied to Herr Styskal. the president Of the
Metropolitan police. for fasting license. but the
latter informed him that granting license OF the
kind did not lie within his province. Sgnor Succi
then made application TO Count kielmansegg. the
Governor Of Lower Austria. The petition together
with the champions testimonials and documentary
evidence respecting his fasting capabilities and ply
sca. endurance. which certificates are medically at
tested! did net meet with the prompt attention
Signor Succi had been led to expect, although the
petition was warmly supported by several Of the
leading physicians Of the metropolis. His Excel
iency after considerable hesitation. has now re.
luctany decreed that the petitioner s at liberty 70
fast for forty days provided that he do 80 privately
at his hotel and that the public be debarred access
TO his room and that a medical commission be ap-
pointed to watch the experimenter night and day.
Sgnor Succi 1t is believed has no intention Of
complying with these hard conditions. seeing that
he is dependent on periodical fasting for liyeli:
eventually filling his pocket. The Governor likewise
intimated that the medical commission would be
held responsible were succ to starye to death while
the contrary that they will not undertake. to guar
antee for Sccs life The subject has given rise to
much comment both In the local press and IN So
ciety, and It will probably terminate BY the cham.
