WORSE THAN Dr ATH.
Years in Solitary Confinement Will
be the Punishment of King
Humbert's Murderer.

Rome, Aug. 19.-Worse than death
will be the penalty inflicted upon
Bresci, the assassin of King Hu1nbert.
In Italy the death penalty has been
replaced by mode of punishment
which is certainly more dreadful
than the guillotine, the ak, hanging
or electrocution. Bresci will be SEN
fenced to hard labor for life, but he
will be previously submitted to ten
years of "carcere duro," kind of sol
itary confinement peculiar to the
Italian penal code.
This means that he VIII be chained
to the bottom of an iron funnel
shaped cell constructed under the
ground, where he will never see the
light of day, speak to no one-not
even to his guardians-receive no
medical attention. and be fed on
scanty rations of bread and water
If he stands the ordeal he has the
chance to be sent to hard labor, un-
less he becomes hopelessly insane, as
did Passanante, who was the first one
who attempted to kill King Humbert

CRASSHOPPER PLAGUE.
A Terrible scourge Visits Kalamazoo
and Vicinity, Interfering With
Business and Traffic.

Kalamazoo, Mich, Aug. 19.-For lhe
past week Kalamazoo and vicinity Las
been bombarded by vast swarms of
grasshoppers, the worst ever known
here-or, in fact, in Michigan. Houses
and stores have been literally choked
with the insects, and apparently
there is no way of abating the nui-
sance.
In the Poll restaurant the serving
of meals was discontinued until a
large swarm of grasshoppers could be
driven out. On account of the plague
the city has been in darkness, because
the hoppers have completely filed
and choked up the arc lights. Store
keepers have been compelled to close
at o'clock because of the insuffer-
able nuisance. Some of the grasshop-
pers are three inches in length, and
they sing like locusts. In the celery
fields, for which Kalamazoo is famous,
their music is fairly deafening.
Between Cressy and Delton, on the
Chicago & Kalamazoo railroad, a train
was stopped by an army of grasshop-
pers, which extended for half mile
and covered the tracks for several
inches. The engine crushed their
bodies, which, being reduced to pulp
acted like grease on the rails. The
drivewheels of the engine refused to
work until the insects had been shov.
eled away by the train crew.

A COLLIE DOG.
Terrible Death Under a street
Car i'm st. Louis.

st. Louis, Aug. 19.-The collie dog
of the Loeb family of 1860 Finney
avenue, saved the life of Arthur Loeb,
the fve-year-old child of the house
hold. The dog dragged the child off
the street car tracks on Finney aven-
ne just in time TO prevent his little
life being crushed out by an electric
car which was bearing down upon
him at a rapid rate of speed. The
faithful collie dog in an instanb real
lied the danger of his young master,
and with two or three bounds was
by his side. Grabbing hold of his
clothes between his teeth the animal
dragged the little boy off the track,
getting his PROSTATE form out OF
harms way just as the big car went
rolling by

sunc oI Lne dutacnes AT the White
House, or the secret service men or
local detectives constantly on guard
at the executive mansion.
George f. Foster, one of the most
trustworthy men in the secret SER
vice, is charged with guarding the
life of President Mckinley at all
times when he is not in the White
House. Foster travels on the same
car. stands on the steps when the
president appears, and is always on
guard at the door of the car.
Charles 1'haron, Swede, who is
known as "Frenchy" to the White
House employees. acts as the presi-
dents valet on all his trips, and is
also in the secret service. He is vir-
tually the presidents bodyguard. His
wife is Mrs. McKinley's maid. The
two mount guard over the president
and Mrs. Mckinley every time they
take trip or stop at a strange
place, and it is their duty to see
that no one reaches the private
apartments of the president and his
wife.
In addition to Foster and Tharon
there are several reliable men from
the secret service always detailed to
accompany the president when he is
away from Washington.
At the White House no one is al
lowed to enter except by the front
door.

BRESClS CONF FDERATES.


London, Aug. 21, The Rene corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says:
THE arrest of Maresca and Guida
in New York arose out of some letters
received at Bresei's lodging subse-
quent to the assassination of King
Humbert. One of these, dated New
York, July 25, and signed 'Mabor,'
urged Bresci to commit the crime,
urging that Maresca and Guida would
do their duty toward President Nc
Kinley. Maresca is known to the Ital-
ian police as a most fanatical anarch-
ist."

Mr.. PADCETT REPLIES TO
TAn MAJ. WHITTHORNE'S CARD
To tile Democratic Voters of tie Seventh Congressional
DiSLkIcL

Sl5 per month.
The request of The Board for an in.
vestigaIing committee was granted, and
the following committee was appointed d :
Senator Il b. Morgan, of Tullahoma,
who was a private soldier in the Con
fedel ate Army Hon. A. ID. Norris, OF
Wilson County, who wa4 a Captain in
the 7th Tenn. Inft., and Hon. A. j.
Skidmore, of Winchester, who was a
Lieutenant in Turney's First Tenn Inft.
Moreover, they were all in at our sur
lender, and honorably paroled.
This committee made an exhaustive
investigation of the Board of Pension
Examiners, as can be seen by it's report,
as appears on page 112l ct seq, Senate
Journal of '99.
"From this investigation, the COM
mittee offered House Bill sos, and
which became law.
~ his bill not only decreased the first
class pensioners from S25 to SL5 per
month, but It increased the appropria-
tion fr m $50, 900 to 100000 per year
"This DILL was warmly supported by
every Confederate organization in our
State, especially by Frank Chaatham
Bivouac, the largest Confederate organi-
zation in the State.
| Our friend, Maj. L. E. Abernathy, of
] Pulaski, presented a resolution at the
Convention of the State Association of
/ Confederate Soldiers, held in Murfrees-
boro, in October '99, asking that the
$25 per month be re- tored to the first
class pensioners. When the case had
been fully explained to the Convention
it said it had no objection to the resolu-
tion, if the appropriation was increased
therefor, but it did not desire thai
twenty-one men should be dropped from
the roll, to increase any pensions from
Sl5 to S25 per month In fact, it wa;
wiling to leave the whole matter to the
Board of Pension Examiners o
whom were Confedelat Soldiers.
Certainly the four Confederate
Soldiers on the Board, who receive nj
compensation, and pay their own ex
penses, would not Intentionally wrons
any Confederate Soldier, nor take from
him anything to which he is justly en-
titled. The same can just as truly b.
