The brigand you see in the comic
opera is roughlooking customer and
he kills a man every two or three min
utes, but, judging from advices from
Rome, he is not one whit more active
than the genuine article, and there is
no question but that the genuine article
is still very much in evidence. During
the first five months of this year the
brigands in Sardinia have committed
$50 crimes of violence, murdered 81 per-
sons, and committed no end of rob-
berries, while in Sicily their deeds of
violence number 7l9.

If psychologists are right in their
declaration that tetanus Oockiaw) is

immediate cause of death in most of the

burns, either from firecrackers or

 ceiyes $50.
 When the palms Of almost 1,500 blind men. women and children were crossed with $50 each yesterday they did not need eyes to see and know it was in gold, two s20 pieces and one BIO piece. It was the annual tribute from the city in pity for their misfortune, and at the same time had practical side in that it aided in preventing the recipients from becoming public eharg- es, One would have thought the world had lost it's sight and doubled it's own vision to see TOO blind persons feel their way to the office of Superinten~ dent Blair of the Outdoor Poor at Twenty-sixth street and East river. They came from all directions and in many ways. those who were able walk ing alone and those who were not, led by children, whose faces had grown patient under the weight of their dread responsibility. And always and every where was the steady pat, pat, pat of TOO canes on the sidewalk. those who were led taking the center of the walk, and those who were alone being guided just as surely by the curb The only difference was that the blind attended by children gave a forward, sweeping motion to the canes, while those along the curb had cultivated an inward swing, so as to detect any post in the way of their haltlng steps But all were in utter darkness. Only the warmth on the lids of their sightless eyes told them the sun was shining on their upturned, expressionless faces. City corporations must have souls, after all to have done such good deed as that of yesterday, and as this city has done for years in annually distributing $75,000 to the blind. It must have been soul that did not even forget the little detail of paying them in gold. two $20 pieces and one S1O piece, so that they could know what they were, and need not be re- minded anew of a misfortune ever present in their inner thoughts. Not satisfied with paying those who were able to make their way to the office, the weak and sick of the sightless were hunted up at their homes all oyer the city. And there must have been soul behind it when the corporation ordered that all be paid the fui amount freely and without question, and on the same day-the only really pleasant day to them in all the 355.-New York Press.
