SONS OF ITALY READY.
A Legion viii Take Arms to De-
fend Old Glory.

New York, March S-The sons of ITALY
are in line to fight for the flag. of their
adopted land The Italian colony in
this city breathes spirit of American
ism and is ready to fight.
More than 1900 men have signed the
roll and are ready to be mustered into
service should war be declared between
Spain and the United States.
They have chosen a leader. an Ameri-
can. who served with distinction in the
Civil War, Capt. David Humphrey. for
merry of the Eighty-ffth and One Hun
dred and Twenty-fifth Ohio Volunteers.
The ltahan-Americans are in earnest.
Hundreds of those whose patriotism for
their adopted country is boiling over
have had military experience, having
served in the Italian army
Among foreign-born citizens the war
spirit has not burned more brightly
than among those who came from Italy
II showed itself in communications to
the Italian newspapers printed in New
York directly following the Maine dis
aster. Scores of letters were printed
showing that no men are more jealous
of the honor Of the United States than
the Ttalian-Americans
The suggestion that the Italians should
form a regiment to go to the front should
war be declared was hailed with enthusi-
asm. Names flowed i'm so swiftly that ii
was plain that more than one regiment
could be recruited in a few days. Thus
far 1000 names have been enrolled, and
more are pouring in every day.
lat oh no,
Humphrey to command the legion. He
has had long and intimate acquaintance
with thousands Of Italians in this cOun-
try. He understands the Italian charac
ter. He enjoys the respect and conf
dence of the Italian-Americans.
1t is thought fitting that an American
should command, and Capt. Humphreys
war record proved him TO be "A capable
leader. The most active spirits in form
ing the legion sought Capt Humphrey.
will you lead us. Capt Humphrey"
they asked.
Certainly I WILL" was the quick re-
ply.
From that time on recruiting went on
more rapidly than ever. The Italians
who are ready TO fight are not confined
TO New York alone. Men have written
from Massachusetts. Rhode Island, Conn
ecticut and Delaware asking for the privi-
lege OF joining the legion.
Already the service of the Italian he
gion have been placed at the disposal of
the President of the United States and
Of Gov. Black. They were told that 1000
Italians were ready to don the uniform
Of the United States Army and march to
the front in forty-eight hours. Capt
Humphrey is drilling his men.
Should war be declared the Italian le-
gion will give a good account of itself.
said Capt. Humphrey yesterday. Hun
dreds of those who have enlisted have
seen real warfare. Among them are men
who held commissions ia the Italian
army. They are brave and Intelligent.
capable of undergoing great hardships
uncompainingly and are splendid fighters.
The Italian legion is in earnest. 1t is
ready for war, should il occur tomor-
row.

NOVEL CURFEW CHIMES.
Married Men in Waycross, Ga,
MAY Be the Victims.

Waycross, Ga, March S.-A new
turn has been given to the demand for
n curfew law in this city. 1t is that
the bell shall ring for the coming home
of married men, rather than of the
children.
The ladies had been engaged in n dis
cussion Of the law to clear the streets
of the youngsters who made the night
hideous with their yells. The move
ment had gained considerable Roadway
when the Waycross Herald, of which
Col. A. p. -Perham is editor. suggested
that there was more need of corralling
the fathers Of the family than of chas-
ing down the little children. The sug-
gestion took at once and in several So
cial gatherings. where the ladies had
peen Drought together in great number,
they have talked the matter over.
The strong Influence of Capt. John p
Triplett. a bachelor. was given to the
movement. He declared that although
he had never entered the marriage
state himself. he felt for those of his
female friends who had and he believed
that they were entitled to the aid Of
the law in making their husbands stay
at home. Those married men who are
Known as Don wants were at nrSt IT
clined to laugh at the proposition, but
ii has been agitated until now the very
seriousness with which their wives have
taken it up causes them considerable
annoyance.
For years this city has been strictly
prohibition. and in consequence private
clubs where liquor can be found in any
quantity have sprung up. ii is due to
an over-zeal in attending these clubs
that the husbands have found them
selves in their present domestic pickle.

II every man could live al ont door life,
passing his time with gun and fishing rod
and canoe, there would be less illness in
the world. Unfortunately, the demands of
modern civilization will permit very few
men to live this ideal, hcaithfu1 life.
Many MEN have to pass the day shut up
in Offices and stores, and the nights i'll close
apartments in crowded cities They get
little outdoor exercise. One OF the results
of this unhealthy, sedcntary living is the
awful prevalence of that dread disease

Russia has scored another victory at
the expense Of Great Britain. and John
Bull is roaring mad. declaring that the
Marquis Of Salisbury is an incompetent,
timoroUs old woman, who ought to con-
fine himself strictly TO domesticity in the
future. Indeed. the feeling is so strong
that some leading journals are predict
ing the prime minister's early resignation
and retirement from public life. The oc-
casion for all this trouble is that. while
Lord Salisbury succeeded in making the
British public believe that he had gained
an advantage over Russia. In having the
Chinese loan financed i'm London and Ber-
lin. he is not now able TO explain the
consequences Of that movement TO the
satisfaction Of the country. Russia did
not like the deal. and has made prompt
reprisals in compelling China to give her
ninety-nine years lease on Port Ar
thur and Talienwan. with exactly such
railway privileges as Germany enjoys in
Shan Tung. II VIII be remembered that.
about a month or so ago. the British min
listers were swearing that anything like
Russian occupation OF these ports would
be the signal for instant war. Perhaps
there may be something of that sort yet.
for Japan is not at all likely to submit TO
the new condition Of affairs, if the Nj
kado only can get some power like Great
Britain to hack him. Thus. the far East
ern question is reopened in fine style.

have enough TO do in attending to their

posed 10 any foolishness in ours.
