ITALIAN LYNCHING Cases
Marquis RomaUo's Report Received
by the Sta'e Department.
WILL DEMAND HEAVY IN INDEMNITY

Report of Italy's Diplomatic Agent Gives
a New and More Serious Phase to the
TaiIulah LynchinG-It Has Been For.
warded to His Observation-Disclosures
OF the state Department.
WASHINGTON, D. C. (Special).-The State
Department has received from the Italian
authorities a copy of the complete report
made by the Marquis Romano, Secretary
OF the Italian Embassy here. on his per-
sonal investigation Of the recent lynching
OF five Italians at Tallulab, La.
The report presents the affair in a serious
light, and the Italian authorities regard
the lynchipg as Of unusual a~trocity and
without the mitigating circumstances
which had been urged in previous affairs
OF this kind.
Marquis Romano's representations differ
radically from the report of Governor
Foster, of Louisiana, to the State Depart
ment Com plete knowledge of the affair
can only be expected after the investiga-
ton by the Louisiana Grand Jury.
Marquis Romano says that DR.. Hodges,
who was supposed to be mortally wounded,
was the first to draw his weapon, and that
not until ne nhu HreQ one SHOT ana was
about to fire Il second at his assaiiant, did
the brother of the latter use his shotgun.
The history of the affair is given with
much detail. From this recital it appears
that the two brothers Immediately engaged
In the assault were not lynched until the
other three Italians had been thus disposed
of. The latter, according to Romano's in
vestigation, were in another street, and
knew nothing OF the affair until arrested
and placed in jail, Two Of them were
taken from custody and lynched, and after
a short interval the third was also lynched.
Attention is especially called to the fact
that the lynching consisted of three dis
tinct movements against the Italians, be-
tween which there was sufficient time for
heated blood to have cooled.
Upon this phase Of the case great stress
will be laid by the Italian Government in
making its demand for extraordinary in
demHity.
A copy of the report OF Marquis Romano
has been forwarded to the italian Foreign
ONCE. Some days will elapse before any
further representations will be made in
the case to the State Department.
Nothing that has so far transpired will
will affect the determination OF the Ameri-
can Government that the legal disposition
Of the case by the State Of Louisiana must
be conclusive to the Italian Government,
but that all other questions may be ar
ranged by the Foreign ofices Of Italy and
the United States.
The State Department will take no fur
Their steps in the matter until it receives
Governor Fosters final report.

Total Abstinence In Hot Weather.

Avoid alcoholic drinks If you want to in
sure yourself in these torrid days against
heat prostration. Whisky is first a stimu'
liant and then a depressant, 1t overworks
the heart for n time, and then there is
languor due to lack of material on which
to labor. Vitality is lost and probably at
the critical time. Under the influence OF
liquor the mind is deceived as to the real
condition of things. Temporarily stimu-
lated by its action, a nan is liable to e&'
pose himself more han he ordinarily
would, or to exert himself more than is
needful. Heat prostration or direct sun
stroke is the result.
A curious phase of the whisky drinking
habit IL that its victims imaein or try to
make themselves believe that liquor may
be used In all emergencies. In winter they
use it to protect them against the cold,
and in summer Its refrigerating qualities
are extolled. But those who put any
thought into the matter may see for them
selves the absurdlty of such conflicting
claims.
As a matter of fact, neither in summon
nor winter is alcoholic drink necessary.
Those who abstain FIR m its use, utter.y y, are
happier and healthier than the people who
look upon it as a panacea for all ills, and
who use or abuse 1t accordingly. Try let
ting it severely alene and notice the bene-
fetal results.

A Touching Incident.

l have read OF a town meeting in Penn
sylvania where the question of license was
to be decided, writes q correspondent OF
the Herald and Presbyter. As the ques-
tion was about to be put there arose from
one corner of the room a miserable female,
wrinkled and gaunt, and stretching out
her arms in a shrill voice she cried: Look
upon me. You all know me, or once did.
You all know that l was once the mistress
of the best farm in the township. You all
know too, l had one of the best-the most
devoted of husbands. You all know how |
had i've noble-hearted, Industrious boys.
Where are they now2 Doctor, where are
they now? You all know. You all know
they lie in a row side by side, In yonder
churchyard; all-every one of them filling
a drunkard's gravel They were all taught
to believe that temperate drinking was
safe-excess alone ought to be avoided;
and they never acknowledged excess. But
/ saw the gradual change coming over my
family and prospects with dismHy and
horror; | felt we were all to be over
%rasped in one common ruin. L tried to
warn on tue blow. 1 tried to break the
spell-the delusive spell-in which the
idea of the benefits of temperate drinking
had involved husband and sons. l becge T.,
l prayed but the odds were against me"
And, with her arms flung high, and her
tail form stretched to its utmost, and her
voice raised to an unearthly pitch she ex-
claimed: 81 shall soon stand before the
judgment seat of God-I shall meet you
there, you false guides, and be a witness
against you ALL"
She spoke and vanished. But when the
chairman put the question, "Shall any
license be granted for the sale Of spirit
uous liquors?" the response was unani-
mous-"Noi"

Liquor selling among the Indians has
been pretty we'll suppressed. For sixty
years the Government has attempted &c

dian Territory. Congress mad it a pena
offense to carry whisky or any other in
toxicating liquor into an Indian reserva-
ton, and u similar penalty was imposed
upon its sale to Indians anywhere. To en-
force this law the courts have been in
creased and hundreds Of deputy marshals
have been employed both in the Territory
and along the border.
Years ago, when the Indians were practi'
cally alone upon their reservation, it was

Among the wedding customs in
vogue in this country there is none
more peculiar than that of throwing
uncooked rice at the departing bride
and groom. Various explanations Of
its origin and symbolism have been
given from time to time, but not one
of them has provided a sound justif-
cation for this wanton waste of food
supplies nor for the discomfort which
it often causes to those at whom it is
directed. Economists estimate thai
the material thus s%quandered in the
course OF a year would make three
solid acre of rice pudding five inches
deep, or enough soup of the proper
consistency to afford a full portion to
each of 100, 600 men.

American watches have made re-
markable strides in foreign lands the
last decade. The expectation Of
watches has grown from S206, $50 in
1889, to $771, 912 in 1898, and in the
fiscal year just ended it reached nearly
q million dollars. To the United
Kingdom alone the exports of watches
during the decade have more than
doubled, while Canada, the South
American countries, British Aus
tralasia, China and Japan are among
our largest purchasers. The predic-
ton made a few years ago that the
manufacture of watches by machinery
in Japan would soon result in reduc-
ing our sales in that direction has not
yet been realized. The expectation
of watches to Japan has increased
from $11,365 in 1894 to S21, 410 in
1895, S61, $40 in 1896, S101, 925] in
1897, and 1920, 761 in 1898.

With the localization of American
fiction 1t has come to pass that &C
where you will you are pretty sure to
find the trail of a story-writer, and ten
chances to one the trail has been newly
followed by an appreciation with a
camera, who has made a clean sweep
of every stick, stone and local type
that could be associated with the au-
thor or his book, muses. the New York
Commercial Advertiser. Some New
England localities indeed seem ac-
tually ~dog-eared, and you find your
self looking at brooks and hills and
stone walls as if they were bound in
buckram. 1t is all very well if the
literary association has been created
by a work that's worth while, but that
pleasant or unoffending natural OBJ
iects should be turned into stage
properties for minor fiction is ms bad
as if they were plastered with adyer.
tisements in white paint.
