FAVORS PAYING THE HEIRS.
The President Sends q Message to Con-
Eress ReEaEding n LYnchfnx.


President Mckinley today sent to Con-
gress a message concerning the lvnching
of three Italians at Hahnville, La, On the
night Of August 8, 1885, named Salvatore
Arena, Giuseppe Venturella and Lorenzo
Saloridono. He recommends an appropria-
tion for the heirs of the persons. without
admitting the liability of the United States
In the premises.
The message is accompanied by papers
frCm the Secretary CT State.
He reviews the events when the 1ynching
occurred. Speaking CT the report of the
agent OF the State Department who was
sent to Louisiana, anc reported that one
of the men. Saloridono. had resided In
Louisiana ten years. and had voted; Arena,
five years, and made a declaration of his
intention Of becoming a citizen, and Ven-
turella, also a voter. Mr.. Sherman says the
Italian ambassador promptly informed this
government that the lynched men were
Italian subjects, and entitled to the protec-
ton Of the King of Italy. The governor of
Louisiana has not been able to presen.
proof that the men lynched had actually
voted. though 1t was believed they had.
He says the case was similar to the lynch-
ing in New Orleans in 1891. Without ac-
kbowledging the legal liabilities of persons
lynched, Congress had appropriated money
Tor the indemnity Of persons SO lynched
The Secretary recommends that 5000 be
appropriated to be distributed by the Ital-
ian government among the heirs Of the
persons.

Star reporter today, but the orders go the

Mrs and old china.
During Mr.. Lincoln's FIRST term q special ser
vice for State functions was ordered through the
house Of J. w. Boteler & Bro. OF Washington,
who for years had control Of all Government
work Of this character. The decorative design
selected for the service, after much consultation
on the part OF the officials, consisted Of the arms
Of the United States In suitable coloring, sur
rounded by q marginal guillooho or cable Of gold,
on a border band of solid lilac or Magenta. The
china itself was imported from France by the
Boteler brothers, who took the chance
Of not being paid for It II the Confeder-
acy should succeed. This ware was made
by Haviland & Co. of Limoges, but the
pieces were decorated by q New York

that the decorators assisted the authorities at

Tho coat OF arms of the United States usually

The cost TO the Government Of this service was
F15, 900. Mr.. Davis rendered n bill of $4,000
for his work, which, through some misunder-
standing, Haviland & Co. were obliged to pay.
They thus lost heavily in the manufacture Of
this service, as they claimed, and In order to re-
imburse themselves partially they subsequently,
issued some duplicate sets, which we're offered
for sale as souvenirs. II is said that these fac
simile sets were limited to twenty-five, and
were. sold either singly or in entire services.

The Hayes china was not entirely painted by
hand, as Is commonly supposed, but was paint
ed by the decalcomanic, or Chromo-lithogrhph
process, the designs being afterward touched up
and finished with the brush. Gold was lavishly
employed In water, sky, trees, and animals,
which sometimes resulted In artistic effects, but
frequently the opposite.
Thus, 1t will DO seen. this country has relied in
the past mainly on France for table services to
be used in State functions. though they have
usually been decorated by American artists. In
the earlier days Of the republic, before our
ceramic industry had reached its present devol-
opment, this condition of affairs was perhaps
unavoidable. but there Is no longer any excuse

Theory Or an italian Professor Coneerning the

Relation or the Two.
Tho success Of Prof. Lombroso as a student Of
economics and criminology has led to the devel-
opment OF a school Of Italian scientists who
combine science with statistics and statistics
with science. One of these is Dr. Morsolli, who
has claimed the rights OF discovery In a new
principle that suicide and divorce are closely re-
lated, and that, in fact, divorce is the chief cause
of suicide.
He finds in Germany. where suicides are moro
frequent than in any other country, that In a
term OF years 81 married women, 81 young girls,
l24 widows. and 34S divorced or separated wo-
men committed suicide out of a total Of $40
cases of suicide. In other words. more than half
the suicides among women in Germany were
divorced or separated women. The inference
drawn by DIR. Morselli from this Is that a sever
ance Of matrimonial association. either by for.
NAL process OF law or otherwise, has a disas-
trous effect upon the women so separated. And
the figures of DIR. Morselii show, in fact, the Same
thing among the male suicides OF Germany. OF
1000 male suicides, 2Oi were married men. ga
unmarried men, $3.50 widowers, and 2,644 d.
vorCed or separated men. From these figures,
too, the conclusion liz Irresistible TO DIR. Morselli
that married men In Germany, at least, are not
prone TO suicide, and men who have. been mar
ried, but divorced. are The chief suicides.
This view Of the case has the merit Of novelty
at least, for heretofore "a contrary view, based
on the figures and conclusions Of LeROyt, has
prevailed. Legoyt's. claim was that In all
countries the rate OF suicide among unmarried
and he said that the value OF domestic ties as
