To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In view OF the large number OF readers
who annually visit Italy. beg you will correct the
greatly exaggerated reports concerning the recent
riots which wero cabled 10 the American press /
have interviewed number OF Americans who were
In the different Italian cities where the alleged
"frightful slaughters OF the populacs took place.
and they are unanimous in saying that the only
thing they knew OF the row told them by tho
walters at the hotels where they staying. and
they simply said that some Socialists Ind stirred
W the work-people. and that few windows had
boen broken by agtntors. who Ind thor heads
promptly broken by the soldiers In return All this
took place In one or two cities where there are
:arse manufacturine industries and naturally a
number OF Disseminated wOrkmen. All the hotels
wc.e wide open at the time. and but few the
guests knew that riots had taken place.
The promptncsr with which quietness was re-
stored is proof that the reports tsegraphed abroad
wefc grossly exaggerated. There is no doubt thar
such riots would hardly have received any notice
mad they occurred in an English manufacturing
town. MANAGER EUROPEAN OFFICE.

TRACING A LOST STUD.
Good Luck of n JeweIer Who DrOppea
a TwO-Carnt Diamond Out of
Ills PneIEet IN the street.

Some odd stories Of the recovery Of
lost diamonds are told by an old Union
square jeweler. One of them is his own
experience.
"One day last June" he says, Il hap
pened to recollect that was going to
reception. Before leaving the store
wrapped my two-carat diamond stud
in a piece of tissue paper and slipped it
into my vest pocket. After dinner,
while dressing in my room, / went to
my pocket to get the stud. 1t was not
there. put my hand in my fob pock-
et, thinking it was surely there; then
in the other vest pocket, then in the
inside pocket, and then in my four
trousers pockets, but it was in none of
them.

"The next morning the stud was not
TO be found at the store. thought OF
every step / had taken on the way
home, and then called our porter.
"'George,' said I, just before went
home last night / slipped a diamond
stud, wrapped in tissue paper, into mg
pocket, and, starting out of the store
went across Broadway, through Union
square at Fifteenth street, going to
the left of the fountain, and then up
the center path of Seventeenth street

"uHE GRAND OLD MAN"

II was John Bright who is said 10
have applied the epithet, Grand O'd
Man" to Gladstone in a speech at
Northampton in 1882. Since that time
it has become exceedingly popular as a
term of respectful familiarity from his
friends and Of derislOn to his oppO-
nents The latter were fond of trans
lating its abbreviated form of &c. o.
H." into Gods Only Mistake" The
cpithet was original with John Bright
if at an, only in it's special apphca-
ton The adjectives, in fact, seem to
suggest themselves. Milton speaks OF
"the grand old ballad of Sir Patrick
Spens" Charlotte Bronte, in letter
written in 1850 and quoted in Mrs
Gaskel's Life" describes the Duke
cfWellington as "areal GRAND Oldham. q"
Longfellow. in his translation Of the
'unfernO" (canto xiv, p 46. line 1881
writes:
A grand old man stands in the mount
erect,
Who holds his shoulders turned tow 'rds
Damietta
And looks at Rome as If it were his
mirror.
In Mr.. Gladstone's nature gravity
and oarnestness are allied with a
strong temper, kept, however, in stern
control He has great capacity for
generous indignation, and, when he is
aflame with it, the hawklike features
become more strong accented, the onyx
eyes fash and glow the voice grows
resonant, the utterance emphatic. Nc
ore, it seems, has ever tried but once
to tell him an anecdOte depending fOI

basenessor sharp practice. Theta was
received in grim and disguised silence
''DO you call that amusing? / call Il
devlish," was THE comment will
which a Characteristic story abCu

In personal dealings, although quick
ly aroused, Mr.. Gladstone was placable

of life was flowing smoothly ne wa

quality was his invariable and univeT
sal courtesy. He had the ceremoniOu
manners OF the old school and treate'
young and old. men and women, as
they we're on his own intellectual leve
Indeed, his manner toward his intellec
tual Interiors was almost ludiciOusi
humble. Still, being human. he like
acquiescence better than contradiction
and he was inclined to Overrate tn
characters and attainments of the pee

were swans. He showed, according 4

consequently exposed himself TO tn
