ROME, March Sit is reported here
today that General Baratieri, COM
mander Of the Italian forces in Africa,
who suffered another severe reverse
at the hands of the Shoans while adj
Vanclng on Abbacarima, was wounded.
The Italian army was divided into
three columns under Generals Alber-

Italian artillery and all ammunition
and provisions were lost. Other ad-

AS the evening wore on and the
worst news of the italian defeat was

to rage against the government. Bands
of young men began parading the
streets, shouting Down with Crispi.''

Hercules and the Hawk.

Some passengers over one of the Ber-
lin canal bridges the other day noticed
the sudden appearance of two black
points in the sky at a considerable dis
tance away, Which developed into two
ducks. Behind them, at n lower level,
flew another bird, which suddenly rose
into the air above the ducks and then
shot down upon them like an arrow.
One of the ducks few sideways toward
the Thiergarten; the other, closely
pursued by its enemy, flew slanting
into the canal, and, reaching the water
exactly behind the bridge, dived, while
the hawk, in his blind haste, struck
against the head of a statue of Hercules
and fell, once more tapping it's great
wings, dead on the pavement of the
bridge. The bird was n splendid speci-
men. the wings having an expansion of
more than three feet.

New Years Day.

"The birth Of New Year." says
Charles Lamb, sis of an interest too
wide to be pretermitted by king or
cobbler. No one ever regarded the
Ist of January with Indifference. 1t
is that from which all date their time,
and count upon what is left. 1t is the
Nativity of our Common Advance"
And yet the date of the New Year
has not always begun with the 1st of
January. In fact, that month was
not universally adopted as the first
month of the year by modern Euro
pean nations until the eighteenth cen
tury, and this is the more remarkable
inasmuch as the Romans, whose En-
pire in the course of their history
embraced so considerable a part OF
Europe, thus considered it not only
since time was fixed from the birth OF
our Lord, but for $50 years before
that event. But now the Ist Of Ian
uary is an imperial day in the calendar
of modern peoples. 1t is the day ol
festive observance, and the exchange
of good wishes; the day of merrymak-
ings and good cheer; the day conse.
Grated to mlrth and surcease of labor.

For Better Water Supply.

A company is being formed to fur
nish water to Lewisburg, Milton and
Watsontown. 1t is the intention to
construct q reservoir in White Deer
valley, in which there is number of
never failing streams, and pipe the
water from that point to those three
towns. The distance will be about
eight miles to Watsontown and fifteen
to Lewisburg. A corps of engineers,
which have been at work on the sur
vey for some time, completed their
work Saturday. The pipe line will
have fall in the IS miles of sso
feet, or about I68 feet to the mile.
This will give ample pressure to throw
the water to almost any desired height
at either of the cities. 1t
will be necessary to cross the river
twice to reach all the towns named.
1t is proposed to begin work as soon
in the spring as practicable, and
when completed these Susquehanna
towns will have a supply Of water
equal to most any town in the state
as White Deer valley is filed with the
purest of mountain streams and
springs. These towns heretofore
have been supplied with water from
the Susquehanna river.

tripped up to the stamp window in
the Post Office building, laid down
two cents and was given postage

the paste draught from the corridor

Then the teeth were taken to the

she will, the teeth will be con6scated.
