politan Paper that Championed the
Free Silver Cause in Advance of
The Nominating Conventions.
It stands pat fer Free Silver,

sures, and The People

You will find the Weekly Post-Dispatch indis-
pensable during the year 1897. The year 1897 is
going to be brimful of interest. The incoming of
the Mckinley Administration, with new Congress
elected upon gold platform, means legislation Of
a kind that will vitality interest every newspaper
reader in the country, and especially in the West
and South Special attention will be paid in the
Weekly Post Dispatch to this of the national
character, and it will be discussed editorially from
the point of view of the West and South contrast
ed with that of Wall street.
The campaign of free silver VIII go on in 1891, and
nothing can do so much help along the campaign
of education newspaper like the Weekly Post
Dispatch. This is shownin the fact that in Mis-
souri, and in every other locality where the Post
Dispatch has large circulation, the gains of DEM
ocracy and free silver were of sweeping character
The Post-Dispatch deserves the support OF Free
Silver Democrats because of the fight made in the
recent campaign for Democratic principles and the
Democratic ticket. Hence the Free Silver men
everywhere should rally to its support by sending
in their subscription and inducing others to sub
scribe.

lie discussion. the Weekly Post-Dispatch contains
the best editorials in the Daily Post-Dispatch.

HEADSMAN OF NAPLES.
Death i'm Exile of Man Who Had
Taken Many Lives.

Death i'm Exile of a Man Who Had
Taken Many Lives.
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, says
the New York Tribune. He was Gae-
tano Impellizzeri, once the headsmen
under Ferdinand II. of Naples. The
useless executions attributed to lmpel-
liZZeri are countless and. with the cru
city he showed. led to his denuncla-
tion by Mr.. Gladstone forty years ago
in the philippics which the statesman
directed against Ferdinand.
The executions were only in part pub
lie; it 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 Agistilas Milanoque, who, on
December 9, 1856, made a bayonet
thrust at King Ferdinand H., and pa
triots innumerable became his victims.
When Garibaldi entered Naples in
September 1860. the excited populace
went in search of the hated headsman,
but he cared much for his own life. al
though he thought little of that of 9TH
ers, 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 50 month-much more
than he deserved. He was 81 years old
at the time of his death

the ground. Then we drew our re-
vOlvers- every one of Us owned two
and rained bullets into them But
before our pistols We're half emptied
they swerved with one accord to the
left and passed out of range We
had barely finished reloading when
they came on again, circling around
the camp and firing into it, but we lay
low and waited for them to come
nearer
Thinking perhaps to get IN behind
our breastworks, they finally assem-
bled on the west side of the corral and
charged down on Us. but we quickly
ran up under shelter Of the wagons,
which formed north and south wing
to the corral, and met them as before,
with shower Of lead. This seemed
to dishearten them: the war song
ceased and they fled in all directions.
But we We're not satisfied, and, leaving
a few Of the boys to finish the wound
ed, the rest of us jumped on our
horses which had been saddled before
the battle commenced, and took after
them. Many of the Indians rode
splendid animals, and, with the start
they had. easily got ont of our way.
But others were not 50 fortunate. and
We're overtaken and dispatched In
less than half an hour not an Indian
was to be seen, SO we rode back toward
camp, more than satisfied with the
days work. Long before we reached
the camp we heard the women wailing
for the dead. Antoine Bissette was
the nnlucky one With The others he
had rushed out to dispatch the
wounded Indians He had stopped
over on, who was apparently dead, to
secure the beautiful shield lying by
his side, and the cunning rascal sud
denly raised big horse pistol and
sent a bullet through Antoines heart.
We buried the poor fellow next day,
and marked the place with cross Of
stones laid on top of his grave. We
also dug a deep trench and filled it
with bodies Of our enemies which lay
about the camp. There were twenty
seven Of them, which, with the eight
others we overlook on horseback.
made a total of thirty five Assina-
BONES killed. We had little fear of
another attack from Indians. and, in
fact, they never returned Early i'll

FIRE AND AIR.
Their Intimate Relation WAS Eariy
Recognized-Lord Iiacon's Belief


The intimate relation between fire
and air was early recognized. seeing
that experience soon taught that ar
was necessary for fire, says the Scot
tish Review. The experiment of burn
ing candle in a closed vessel, now so
familiar to every schoolboy, is very
old one. and the influence of a blast of
air on furnace had been probably no.
ticed from a very remote period. BY
some il was affirmed to be the food of
fire, while by others the same belief
was embodied in the phrase. Air nour-
ishes fire
Again. it was long ago observed that
inter, a substance well known to the
chemical philosophers of the past. could
produce intense ignition. 1t vas hence
inferred that, since inter possessed this
property, it necessarily followed that
the two substances resembled each
other in composition. According to
Robert Boyle the air contained volatile
inter" while Lord Bacon held that air
contained a volatile, crude and windy
spirit" and thunder and lightning were
supposed to be due TO the presence Of
minute particles of this inter difused
through the air.
The important bearing of such OBJ
servations is due 10 the fact that oxy-
gen gas, which is one of the chief con-
stituents of air and the one to which
it owes its power of supporting com
bustion also forms the largest ele-
mentary constituent of inter, and is
likewise the source of the power pos
sessed by that body of supporting com
bustion
The action of heat on metals in caus-
ing them to lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice and Cardan.
a philosopher who lived during the six
teenth century, in noticing the increase
in weight that lead undergoes when
heated in air, attributed it to the gas
in the air which feeds flame and which
rekindles body presenting an ignited
point

AMERICAN ARTIST FLEES ITALY.
lie Does So to Escape Conscription Into
Bumhert's Army.

Bumbert's Army.
A year ago last summer NicoIa d'AS-
cenzo, instructor in decoration in the
Pennsylvania museum and school Of
industrial art, at Broad and Pine
streets, married Miss Myrtle d. Good
win, teacher of design in the same in
stitution, says the Philadelphia Times.
The young couple sailed for Italy to
devote two years in study of the paint
ings and architectural masterpieces Of
the land of art. The first eighteen
months were spent in the cities Of CEN
tral and northern Italy, where the art
lists worked assiduously at their easels,
filling portfolio with sketches Of
famous churches and monasteries, ma
tional character types and the hundred
and one picturesque hooks and corners
which the painter discovers.
Mr. and Mrs. d'Ascenzo went to Rome
about the middle of last month. They
had A@rIly unDacknd their easels and
assorted their c0lors when the first
inkling of impending trouble reached
them in a letter from an uncle of Mr..
aAscenZo. a priest in a neighboring
village, informing him that officers of
the government were about to conscript
him for service in the army and advis-
ing him to seek an audience with the
American ambassador at Rome.
Mr.. d'AscenZo acted on this advice
and explained his case, he says, fully
to the ambassador. Mr.. dAscenZo came
to America at II years of age. He is
now q. AS boy he attended the public
school at Eighth and Fitzwater streets.
Inclining toward art, he studied at the
Academy of the Fine Arts and also at
the School of Industrial Art in which,
later on, he taught.
At 90 years of age he was called,
to Italy to serve his allotted time in
the army but as he proposed to become
an artist and was already absorbed in
his studies he did not go. In due time
he procured his naturalization papers
and became a citizen of the United
States. When Mr.. and Mrs. d d'Ascenzo
started for Europe they carried with
them the proper passport, emblaZoned
with the signature of W. @. Gresham
and the stereotyped formula, Freely to
pass and in case of need to give them
all lawful aid and protection
Mr.. dAscenzo, although small man.
has plenty of grit. He used all his elo-
quence in explanations, fortifying them
by displaying his official documents.
Nevertheless. he says, the ambassador
told him the best thing he could do was
to get out Of the country, for. once cap
tured, he must serve.
The artist lost no time in shaking
the dust of Rome from his feet. He
threw his personal effects into a trunk,
leaving his canyases with the paint still
wet for a friend to collect, and hustled
across the Italian boundary line into
Switzerland. He left Rome on Satur-
day. On Sunday the guards called az
the house for him.
