ITALIAN HOME LIFE
HABITS AND CUSTOMS DURING
THE MIDDLE AGES
f. Marion Crawford Delivered His
Farewell Lecture to De-
lighted Audience

F. Marion Crawford the celebrated Eng
iish novelist, delivered his farewell lecture
on italian Home Life in the Middle Ages"
at Simpson tabernacle last evening to a
slightly smaller audience than greeted the
novelist the previous evening.
Mr.. Crawford, in his talk on the customs
of the Italian nobility of the middle ages,
gave vivid description of their palaces,
many Of which still stand, monuments Of
the pomp and grandeur of the age. There
Is palace in Rome, built early in the mid
die ages, in which fully 1900 people lived,
besides the large private apartments re-
served for the exclusive use of the prince
and princes to whom it belonged. Those
massive houses were built for fortresses as
we'll as dwellings, Their walls are in many
instances ten to fifteen feet in thickness,
their small unglazed windows protected
with massive iron bars, their doors OF
heavy oak timbers studded with iron
spikes, stood many a siege.
1.-THE first floor was reserved for the
prince or baron to whom the castle be-
longed, and his wife. No children lived on
this floor as it would not have been evil
dence of proper respect to their parents
to have done SO. Besides the very plain
bed chamber and ante chambers or draw
Ing rooms on this floor are to be found the
private picture galleries Of the family IN
whose possession the castle has remained
for centuries, and the surprising number
of portraits of singular similarity of size
and appalling lack of art is explained by
the fact that it was the custom of those
days when one nobleman paid a visit to
another, either at his country castle or his
Roman villa, instead of writing note or
sending a card, to send his host a portrait
of himself.
In the internal arrangement of these pal
aces the private apartments are on the
sunny side, while the ante chambers and
reception rooms are on the other. The
floor above that on which the baron lived
was given up to the use of the eldest son
and his wife, while the floor again above
that was exclusively the residence of a Sec
ond son, and if a third son of the family
married and brought his wife to his faith
er's house, as was sometimes the case,
he must seek his apartments in the attic.
Zone of the pecuiarites Of the home life
of that age was the strictness with which
the women were separated from the men.
While the women in a baron's household
consisted of his wife ard daughters and
maids in service who were selected from
the middle classes and who, when their
term of service was ended, went bacl, TO
their homes and married steady. sober men

WITH BARE KNUCkLES
A BRIEF PRIZE FIGHT IN A
SALOON
TWO LOCAL MIDDLEWEIGHTS
Mckenzie Outclassed His Opponent
Who Stopped in the Third Round.
The Meeting Denied

Kelly is running a lively establishment
at 1O1 Reouena street, and If things con-
tinue as they have started, there Is no tell
ing where they will end. The place Is
beer joint, in the cellar where the old
Vienna buffet was run In days gone py'
but. exciting as were the scenes then, they
sink into insignificance when compared
with what occurred there last Friday
night. A regular bare-knuckle fight took
place between couple of local middle-
weights, and, while the affair did not last
very long, there were some vicious blows
exchanged. Three rounds were the extent
of the fight, and 1t would have been longer
and attended with Knockout had not
one of the contestants, who was out
classed, wisely given up the fight.
Ed Mckenzie and Harry Herrick are the
names of the men who fought. The audi
cnce was not large, but select and appre-
ciative. For some time past there has not
been the best of feeling between the men.
and, as both are known to be clever with
their dukes" a meeting was expected al
most any day. The men met in the saloon
in the afternoon and got into dispute and
finally decided to fight it out. In justice to
Mckenzie, it must be said that he was not
in any too good condition at the time, and
the fight resulted in a draw. This did not
end the matter, though, for later In the
evening they met at the saloon once more
and then a second fight was spoken Of The
fact of this new meeting had been quietly
tipped off to favored few, but the informa.
ton of bare-knuckle "scrap" spread toe
generally, and when the hour for pulling of
the fight had arrived there was too big a
ment was announced. Many of the people
went away disappointed, but those who re-
manned were amply rewarded for their
pains.
Late in the evening the contestants, &C
companied by their seconds, a referee, 9
time keeper and the spectators. adjourned
to one of the large side rooms. The door:
were locked, a lookout stationed, and ther
the fight started in. Mckenzie weighed 13
