Has Been Revived.

Rome, Sept. 1.-THE charge Of theft
of jewelry brought against Signor Luigi
Crispi, lawyer and a natural son of the
former premier, is creating a sensation,
1t appears that the lawyer had an in
trieue with the Countess Cellare and had
a iatchkey to her house. In April, 1895,
jewelry valued at 10000 lire $4,000 was
stolen from the apartments of the coun-
tess and suspicion pointed to the lawyer.
But the police refused to prosecute him
and he afterwards threatened to bring le-
gal proceeding against the countess,
claiming that she had simulated the rob-
berry.
The charge against young Crispi is now
revived and is being investigated. 1t is
alleged that a political ally of the EXPIRE
mier, when the charges were first brought
countess for her losses, admitting that
young Crispi was a kleptomaniac. The
accused lawyer is now at Buenos Ayres.

New York, Sept. lit is lucky for
Dora Clark, a young woman of class
summed by good people and arrested by
Crane. was frequenting concert halls and
other risky places the other night in
search of material for sketches.
Mr.. Crane does not vouch for Dora's
general reputation, but when she was
arrested on particular charge of disor-
derby conduct he knew to be false he
went into the Jefferson Market police
court to testify in her behalf. He Sc
cured her discharge against the COM
plant of the police, who, according to
Dora, are prosecuting her. Mr.. Cranes
friends swear in risking his own reputa-
ton to appear openly in this case to pre-
vent injustice to a woman he did as
knightly deed as any ever performed
by a hero of romance, whether in ''The
Red Badge of Courage" or any other.
Mr.. Crane modestly says he would do it
again, regardless of reputation.

SUCCUMBED TO LOCKJAW.
Antitoxine Treatment Only Partially Sue.
ceSSful.

New York, Sept 17.-Ernest Neibeck-
er, aged Is, died Tuesday night from
the effects of lockjaw, although he had
no wound to which the disease could be
traced. He has no recollection of ever
having stepped on a nail or of having
been wounded by any bit of rusty metal.
At a comparatively late stage in the
case antitoXine treatment was tried. The
tetanus, to a large extent had been over
come, yet the boy seemed unable to rally
from the shock to his nervous system
and the loss of nourishment. He sank
rapidly. He was too weak and exhaust
ed to live. He was overgroWn, and
his constitution was unable to bear up
any longer.
In spite of the fatal result of the case.
the physicians say that the first trial
of tetanus antitoXine convinces them that
the remedy will do all that the boad OF
health says it will do.

that in its philosophy and in its

mankind and when the party went
wrong in what he believed to be
