FROM FRIAR TO BEGGAR.
Strange story Told About Raffaele
PnrIanti in Police Court.


Raffaele ParIanti. an aged Italian, was
today arraigned N the Police Court charg-
ed with being a vagrant. He does not
speak English, and Caesar Moreno acted
as interpreter.
Moreno stated to the court that in his
opinion the prisoner should be sent to
an asylum for the insane He knew the
prisoner well in Italy before coming to this
country, and that he came from one of the
most distinguished families there Early
in life, said Moreno, the prisoner entered
the service of the church and became a
friar. Father Parlanti soon became IA
nous all over Italy for his wisdom and
learning and was rapidly advancing in the
service OF the church. Suddenly, the in
terpreter said, Father Parlanti disappeared
from Italy and no clew as TO his where
abouts was obtained for years, although the
state and church exerted every effort TO
do so. Some years ago Parlanti was located
in this country, but positively refused 10
return TO Italy. Since that time he has
subsisted by begging and the generosity of
his friends. Morleno said that the prisoner
was formerly a highly educated man, but
that now he was bereft of his senses.
The officer who made the arrest stated
| that yesterday he discovered Parlanti So
! licitlng help by means OF a card which
said that he was unable to work or make a
| livelihood. The prisoner could not be in
! duced to make a statement In fact, he
seemed totally oblivious 10 what was TAX
ing place.
In passing sentence Judge Kimball said
that the man should be provided for. but
that he could not commit him TO the asy-
lum without an examination, but that he
would send him to the workhouse for six
! months

CHINESE ETIQUETTE.
The Russians Make Further study of
Oriental PecuIiarities.

(From the New York SUM
The Russians have been making some
thing OF a study of Chinese manners and
etiquette and their periodicals are report
ing what has been learned. The latest
number OF 'Russkii Viestnik says it is
not surprising that the Celestials consider
Europeans barbarians when they see con-
tinually what they consider bad manners
and breaches of etiquette on the part of
white men. The proper thing, according
TO the Chinese notion, is diametrically op-
posed to the European idea. For instance.
when Chinese welcomes a visitor to his
house, he does not remove his hat, If he
happens TO have it on He puts his hat
on if he is caught without it. The seat of
honor at the table is at the left of the
host. 1t would be considered and offence
if the guest enQuired about the health of
the hostess. or. still worse. expressed a de-
sire to be presented TO her Chinese
takes offence if told that he looks younger
than he is. The older the man the more
he is respected, Independently OF his quail
ties. and, therefore, a Chinese wishes to
appear older than he really is He willing
ly forgives many offences but should any
one happen to tread on his foot he Will re
fuse to accept the most humble apologies
When a son dies in Chinese family the
bereayed father considers it proper to show
strangers smiling countenance, no mat
ter what his sufferings may be.
The Russian newspaper asserts that
there is a Minister Of Etiquette in China
known as Li-pu. Ancient books on man
ners are accepted by him as authority The
books include 200 volumes. Some o. the
rules are Draconian in their severity. A
Chinese cannot even build house accord
ing to his taste No matter how rich he
is, it is not proper for him to build a
finer or a higher house than that of his
neighbor, if the latter happens to BE- OF
superior rank socially. In Chinese C i
quette there are eight varieties of the bow.
Ignorance Of Chinese ideas of propriety
with regard to the bow has often caused
embarrassment.
A Chinese displeased with his situation
will not tell his employer the real reason
| for his resigning, but will give poor
health or the death of relative as d
pretext for leaving. Such things have
| led many persons to regard the Chinese
! as insincere, but this does them injustice
| They are also injustly considered to be
cold, Unconditional and Indifferent to the
| sufferings of others. AS a matter of fact
! this appearance of stolidity is only spec
| linen of the wonderful self-control and the
| iron force of character with which this
1 race is endowed.

BEEF COURT OF ENQUIRY.
New Witnesses Testify Concerning
Timed and Refrigerated Meat.

Timed and Refrigerated Meat.
The Beef Court of Enquiry met this
morning at 10 o'clock and Colonel Gala
CHER, of the Commissary Department, was
recalled to the stand that he might make
an unimportant correction in his testimony.
Major Lee counsel for General Miles,
took occasion to ask the witness few
questions Colonel Gallagher was depot
commissary al Siboney and Ell Paso, and
testified that he issued canned roast beef
to the Cuban soldiers because they liked
it better than bacon and the American
troops preferred bacon.
Lewis G. Hunton, late lieutenant IN the
Sixth Massachusetts Volunteers. testified
that many of the men We're taken sick
within twenty-four hours after eating can
ned boiled beef. Under cross examination
the witness said that it was his belief that
the men in Porto Rico ate only per cent
of the canned roast beef issued to them.
They traded the remainder with the Porto
Rican storekeepers. He was made SICK
by eating canned roast beef on two occas-
ions.
Major George W. Ruthers, of the Sub
sistence Department, testified. He had
heard no complaint against refrigerated
beef and never suspected that chemicals
had been used.
ing the war was inspector general of the
Seventh Army Corps. testified that al
Jacksonville and Savannah refrigerated
beef was issued. There were no material
complaints. II was generally good beef,
though here and there would be found
bad quarter.
At Jacksonville in June he caused to be
turned back 1000 pounds of canned roast
beef. The agent of Armour & Co. pro-
tested The witness called on the health
officer at Jacksonville who condemned the
beef. The consignment was taken back
by Armour & Co.
Quartermaster Sergeant E. F. o'Sullivan.
in the Ninth Massachusetts, testified that
the refrigerated beef he saw in Cuba had
a 'deathly smell" He could not describe
the odor further than to say that it was
not exactly the odor of decomposition. He
did not know what caused the strange
odor. Much of the sicknes was, he
thought, caused by the beef. Nearly one
half Of the beef was rejected.
Under examination he testified
that the canned roast beef gagged him,
when he tried to swallow il.
The Court adjourned at :45 o'clock.

A Queer Quadruped.
From the London Daily Neu


Dr. F. Moreno, the Commissioner Of the
Argentine Republic, who is now in this
country in connection with the arbitration
over the boundary dispute with Chile. has
brought with him to London, / hear, a
piece of the skin of the mysterious quad
ruped which is said to exist in the. interior
of the territory of Santa Cruz. in Pata-
gonia. According to the reports of the
Indians, it is a strange creature, with long
claws and terrifying appearance, impos-
sble to kill because it has body impene-
trable alike to firearms and missiles. The
piece of skin which DR.. Moreno has here
fully confirms this description, I am told
by an expert who has seen it, and close
examination and study lead to the convic-
tion that the animal to which the skin be-
longed was about the size of a cow. This
specimen will shortly be sent to the Brit
ish Museum, but it may be added that
hopes are entertained that a whole skin,
with the skeleton, will before long be OBJ
