FAVA'S RECALL.
Popular Italian Ambassador Not Radical
Enough for His Government.

Popular Italian Ambassador Not Radical
Enough for His Government.
Washington, d. c., Sept. 3.--In-
formation has been received from
a source which is authentic that
the italian ambassador, Baron
Fava, will be recalled in a few
days. 1t is alleged that he has
not done his duty in his reports
of the killing Of the three Italians
at Harnersville, La, and such rep
reservations have been made to
Premier Rudini that the latter
called a meeting of the italian
cabinet, which resolved to recall
the baron, and orders are now
said to be on the way from Italy.
Fava has represented his govern
ment in this city since 1881, and
is very popular In the society Of
the capital, though the local Ital-
ians say he has not given salts
faction to his home office or to the
local Italians. 1t is charged that
the deplorable effects of the pad
, rome system in this country have
been largely instrumental in pro-
curing his recall. He is now at
Newport with his daughters.

NO HIGH HATS.
The New Law Enforced at the Open
ing Theatrical Night.

1 Inc new Law Enforced ut tne open
ing Theatrical Night.
New Orleans, Sept. 3.-The theatre
cal season of 1S96-97 was ushered in
at the st. Charles theatre Monday
night with a performance of Angus.
tus Thomas new play, "A Nights
Frolic." An immense audience filled
the spacious theatre, but there was no
complaint from the male portion of
not having an unobstructel view of
the stage from every portion of the
| house. Representative Dudenhefer's
high hat law was enforced for the
| first time
Previous to the opening of the doors
there was an air of uncertainty and
speculation amongst the male portion
of the audience as to how the fair sex
were to be approached and requested
to discard their superfuOus headgear,
that in years past has always been in
evidence especially at places of amuse-
ment, but when the doors were OPEN
ed they became aware of the fact that
such requests would be unnecessary.
On the walls, in conspicuous places,
were seen placards stating that the
wearing of high hats would not be
tolerated as it was against the law.
AS there were no members of the fair
sex present who were DESTROYS of act
ing in violation of the law, no trouble
was experienced. In fact, there was
no headgear seen of sufficient size to
evoke comment from the men who
had come in eager expectancy of see
ing some clashes between the ladies
and Manager Rowles.
The signs posted up by the latter,
prohibiting the wearing of high hats
went even further. They stated that
room would be provided by the
management, where the ladies could
have their hats and bonnets checked
and returned to them free of charge.
Manager ROwles, in order to incon-
venience the fair sex as little as posi-
BILE, volunteered to have the ushers
take the ladies' hats to the cloak
room for them and after the play was
concluded return them.

CHOLERA ANNIVERSARY.
Just Thirty Years Ago San Antonio Was
in Sad Plight.

just Thirty Years Ago San Antonio Was
in Sad Plight.
On Sept. 3, 1866, San Antonio was
stricken by the cholera epidemic,
being just thirty years ago today.
The population Of the city was
then 1000, and OF this number
about 10 per cent died Of the
cholera. 1t was the Asiatic cholera
and it came to San Antonio every
seventeen years. In those years
the dead bodies Of the cholera
stricken were buried just as they
were found, without any ceremony,
and In many cases eight and ten
bodies were buried in one large
grave. This was done by the au-
thorities in order to prevent the
disease from spreading as much as
possible. The disease was nc.
prevalent on the hills surrounding
the city, and many took up their
residences there for safety.

not to admit the United States war
ship Bancroft through the Darda-

able to act as the guardship OF the
United States legation in these waters.
1t is believed that Russia objected to
the presence in the Bosphorous of
United States, Greciau and Dutch
guardships. United States Minister
Terrell had urgently requested the
Washington authorities to send an
American war vessel here. 1t is in
timated that the United States Govern
ment will insist by forle if necessary
upon the presence Of the ship Bancroft
in the Bosphorous. taking the ground
that the protection Of the lives and
property Of American citizens makes
it necessary.

C~ANEApACY.
He Got the Office Last Year
Through the Courtesy Of the
Man be Now Tries to Defeat.

That the voters Of this county may
be fully posted on the political situa-
lion as between MI. Kinney and Mr..
Reynolds, the APPEAL proposes to
print a little history which can be
substantiated by scores Of people.
In 1892 William Kinney Of Empire
was elected Sheriff Of Ormsoy County
by the oliver vote. He was fought by
the Republicans and Won by a hand
some majority. 1t took a good deal Of
hard work on the part Of the Silver
men to pull him out a wi ner, but he
never seemed to regard is in any
other light hut that, it was all due 70
his own individual popularity. A.
soon as he got in office he appointed
a Republican deputy and gave ont
the patronage to Republicans wh"n-
ever he could. This course did not
help him with the Silver men who had
worked hard to elect him, and when
the next campaign came Iound The
| knives were out to scalp Kinney for
his treatment Of the party that had
hODored him with election.
When the convention met he was
asked plainly to come out and define
his position. He stood up before the
convention and made an evaSive talk
and u committee was appointed who
called on Ed. Reynolds and teniered
him the nomination.. He replied:
"Gentlemen, l am So situated that
I cannot be a candidate. Some weeks
ago I told Mr.. Kinney that l was not
a candidate for Sheriff, and would not
be. He has gone ahead and made his
fight op that basis and it would be
dishonorahle in ME to now accept E
nomination."
Although urged to reconsider his
determination, he could not be moved
and so the convention gave Kinney
the nomination, and his party closing
up all differences again stood by him
and elected him to the best office il
the county.
This same man is pow running indie
pendent, not with the slightest hope o
election, but merely to defeat a MAJ
whose desire to preserve his word O
honor, gave Kinney the office he nov
holds.
