For the murder of woman in Null
berry street. New York. fiye Italians
were arrested. They had been only
a few years in this country. and the
detectives decided to look up their
records in the prefecture OF police
at Naples. 1t turns out that one Of
them was convicted nine times, in
Italy. of theft and blackmail; another,
sixteen times. of assault, blackmail and
attempt at murder; two others, six and
nine times respectively. of various
crimes; and the nth. .twenty-one times,
of assault. theft and attempt at mur-
der. OF course 1t is well for Italy
that another nation stands ready 10
take such seoundrels OF her hands.
But, really. should we lose anything
except a reputation for soft-headed
hospitality-if we enacted immigration
laws that would keep them out?

Bad government seems to prevail in
Cnrea. The United States Consul Al
len in a report says: Il hear from the
country that the high price of rice
has induced the farmers in many re-
gions to reclaim new land for the
purpose of increasing the production of
this staple The short-sighted greed of
the official class, however, will. as
usual. take away the profits from the
producer and cause the farmer to raise
only enough for bare subsistence
Recently whole villages of prosperous
farmers, who had been taught indus
try. frugality, and honesty by the
American missionaries. were arrested
on the false charge OF holding secret
and seditious meetings and thrown
into prison. Every possession they
had in the world was taken by the
soldiers, runners, and magistrates, and
several of the men actually died of
starvation in prison. Strong effort was
made to have these poor people brought
to trial, that their cases might be set
tied one way or another, so they would
be able to get in their spring crops.
Nothing could be done, however, be-
cause of the reluctance of the magis-
trate to have his acts investigated.
Another pernicious custom is the send
ing out of secret inspectors, presum-
ably to investigate abuses, but. as these
men have great powers and are ex-
pected to bring in large extra revenues,
they squeeze every man who has any
thing worth taking. There are good
officials. and these are honored and re-
spected by the people. but they are
few" 1t is thus that all reforms are
frustrated among people dishonest
by habit.

FAUST" AT CHINESE THEATER

IephlstOpheIes PirOuetted Like a Bal
let Girl and Acted Like Pirate.
They had the play of Faust" in
the Chinese theater the other evening.
There was nothing outside the theater
on Doyers street, where the sign Chi
nese opera house" stands out in big
English letters, to imply it, and it took
a woman to interpret it, says the New
York Times. The central figure Of the
the party of visitors was a round
faced, jolly-looking Chinaman, with a
long white beard, who had much to
say in a high falsettO voice. He had
been talking and gesticulating for some
time, when a number Of ''supes" who
stood around in very much the same
way that Americans Of the same order
do, placed a stand in the front of the
stake with basin upon it. The jol-
ly-faced Chinaman, who was undOubt-
eddy Faust, began to wash his long
white beard in the basin, and after
a moment, the "supes' grouped them
selves together in front of him, hiding
him from view to separate again and
show the rejuvenated Faust with the
long white beard turned to intense
black Mephistopheles came in next.
He was a fierce, piratical-looking in
dividual, also with a long black beard,
showing lines of red ON either side.
His attire was something between that
of a pirate and a ballet girl, and his
acting showed traces of the two char
acteristics. He pirouetted, gave fan
tastic kicks, turned up his sleeves for
fighting and caressed in a vicious man
ner two long, horn-like feathers, one of
which stood up from either side of the
top of his head, and then dropped, al
grette fashion, down to two fan-like
wings on his back. He also talked in
falsetto tones, which may have been
made necessary by the operate part of
the affair." which consisted of a number
of heavy bass Chinese instruments in
the back of the stage. Marguerite did
not appear, and it was apparent that
she was booked for the next evening,
Chinese operas being long-drawn-out
and given in parts.

Bridal Calls.

A very general inquiry is, on the
part of young brides, how bridal calls
should be returned. One need only say
the rules that apply to ordinary calling
are equally in force on these occasions,
and the bride should follow them as
any other married lady would do. It is
quite an obsolete idea to suppose that
a bride must remain at home day af-
ter day to receive those who may hap
pen to call. On the contrary, the up
to-date bride allows her acquaintance
to take the chance of finding her at
home or not, and returns the calls she
has received in due course as quickly
as may be. She takes up the life she
intends leading from the moment of
her return, and does not give herself
the penance of an enforced stay within
doors during each afternoon of week
following week until all possible cal
lers have been duly received. She does
not wish. to show her wedding presents,
as the majority of her friends have al
ready seen them, and she does not in
tend offering wedding cake to callers,
as it is not the fashion to do so, and
she prefers to make engagements for
herself for each day.

There is an old story about some
facetious students making a remark
able-looking insect by gluing together
parts OF various creatures, and then
taking it to their professor and asking
him what kind of bug that was. The
man of science glanced at 1t and
promptly classified 1t as a humbug.
The professor would have need to ex-
ercise all his wits if he were living in
these days. for young biologist has
succeeded in grating living moths
piece upon piece in ways that have
produced the most astonishing results.
In his juggling with anatomical sub
jects he has created two-headed but
terflies, tandem butterflies, moths with
two heads and no tails, and various
other combinations, all living and
lively and able to give proofs that they
are no humbugs. Beyond these gro
tesque results. there is a possibility of
important additions to the science of
biology.

TziEanes. pome one Of whom viii sure
ly follow a carriage for half-hour or
more until he has received a coin. The
Tziganes have given themselves the
nickname OF poor men and the habit
of begging is so thoroughly rooted In
them that even well-to=do members kof
their race, whom one occaslonalaly
meets in Budapest driving pure blood
ed horses and wearing costly jewels,
cannot resist the temptation Of asking
for money.
Many unsuccessful attempts havs
been made to restrain the vagabond
propensities of the Tziganes. The EN-
peror Joseph II. once tried to compel
them to have a fixed residence, and
allotted them land, distributed agr1cul-
tural Implements among them; and or
dered them to cultivate their land. But,
instead of taking up their residences in
the comfortable houses they had been
presented with, the Tziganes turned
the houses into stables for their horses
and COWS and set up tents near by
for their own use. TO prevent the corn
given them for seed from sprouting
they boiled it. But the emperor wat
not discouraged. He abolished the Til
game language, as he had already done
away with the Magyar language; did
away with the very name of Tzigane,
and finally took their children from
them, to be educated by German and
Hungarian farmers, who were to bring
them up according to a strict code OF
discipline. But the little Tziganes grew
up with all the instincts of their race,
and at the first opportunity they es-
capped and rejoined their parents.

At the recent national convention Of

women we've excluded from participa-

dues into the national convention. In
both of these states the suffragists
have carried their point and It would
seem that if the advantages came up to
their expectations they would have
sufficient interest to do their share
toward extending the privilege to their
sisters Of other states.
