The respectable press OF Italy is now
more than ever Anglophile and Italians
are constantly warned that at the close
OF the war in South Africa Great Britain
will administer a deserved rebuke TO France;
for tho present it Is the duty OF all Italians
TO remember the debt OF gratitude that
they owe the English and hold aloof from
the madmen on the other side OF the Alps.
A recent debate in the Italian Chamber IL
significant OF the growing indifference with
which Italy regards it's status in the Drel-
bund and of the increasing desire for closer
relations with Great Britain. Signor de
Martino, brother of the eX-minister in
Pekin, criticised the management of the
Italo- Chinese negotiations and expressed the
doubt as to the value OF the triple alliance
for Italy If it were powerless to prevent
surprises like that Of the Anglo-French
agreement in regard to the hinterland OF
Tripoli. Thereupon the Marquis Catlo di
Rudlni, son OF the e~x-premier, arose and.
after questioning the value OF the Drei-
bund, made some structures upon the policy
of isolation pursued by Italy and strongly
and eloquently urged the necessity Of closer
association with Great Britain, Signor Nasi,
minister OF posts and telegraphs In the
first PellouX cabinet, continued in the same
strain and added that those who asked
why Great Britain damaged Italian interests
in the Tripolitan hinterland should know

A BANk's MESSENGER.
He Had 100000 and a Drunken Man
Made Trouble.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Speaking Of the precautions that are
adopted in the transfer of large sums of
money from one point to another said a
New Orleans express official. Il am re-
minded of a peculiar little incident 1 once
witnessed on the streets of Chicago. I was
walking through the banking district, and
about twenty feet ahead of me was quiet
ly dressed young man carrying a small
valise. There were a good many people on
the street, and presently a big burly fell
low, who seemed about two-thirds drunk,
came lurching along and collided with the
man with the satchel. What dy' mean?
the big chap snar.ed. Selling the other by
the lapel and giving him a violent push.
Before he could make another move, and
in half the time 1t takes me to tell it, an
athletic stranger whom l hadn't noticed
sprang at him and clutched him by the
throat. AT the same moment another
broad-shouldered man, apparently a passer-
by. ran up and pinioned him by the elbows
This unexpected interference by two
seeming outsiders astonisihed me so greatly
that L stopped stock still, with my mouth
wide open. but the young man himself did
not appear to be especially surprised
When he received the push he had momen-
tarily lost his grasp on the valise but it
din't drop 1t dangled from his wrist by
short chain, and. putting two and two to-
gether. l began to understand.
He was bank messenger. as 1 after

100000 III large bills from one vault to an
other. Seven private detectives in plain
clothes followed him, and it was two of the
conveys who had seized the drunkard
They evidently thought for the moment
that the collision was the preface to
hold-up, but after exchanging a word in an
undertone they released their prisoner and
the party moved on The drunkard was the
picture of blank bewilderment. l suppose
the affair Is a mystery to him to this day"

Horses In Battle.
From Pearson's Magazine.


One Of the most curious sights to be
seen in a cavalry charge is the various
riderless horses galloping in the line in per-
feet order. At the charge of Balaclaya the
front rank of one regiment was composed
to great extent Of riderless animals, their
masters having dropped one by one 1t
would seem that in the excitement of the
moment the horses lose all conception of
what Is happening around them, and prob
ably fail to notice the fall Of their riders
The return of riderless horses to camp Is
an almost certain sign of defeat. When a
cavalry charge Is successful the horses will,
as l have said all keep up together, even
though they have lost their riders. But
when force Is routed the first news of
Ill omen to those in the rear will be the
return Of the horses with empty saddles
and stirrups dangling free. No more sorry
sight can be imagined. To illustrate the cal
lous feeling these animals have under fire,
a case which happened at Ladysmith dur
ing the siege may be cited. A farrier SER
geant was engaged in shoeing an officer
horse in the open ground behind the sta
bles of a hotel, and had already put one
or two nails in the shoe when shell came
screaming through the air. The next mo-
ment the missile burst five or six yards
away from where the sergeant and the
horse were standing, and the splinters few
around both, but failed to touch either.
When the smoke had cleared the horse
was to be seen with its foot still in the
mans apron, quite undisturbed by the in

or athletic powers of King John. He is of
