The italian city Of Artena, situated
about 40 miles from Rome, Is known as
the City of Crime. Ever since the six.
teenth century every criminal who has
escaped from prison OF done his time
has emigrated to Artena, and today
practically every inhabitant is a crimii
nal or the child Of criminals. Every
family takes the law into its own
hands, and II is reported not day
passes without many murders being
committed In the streets. The Italian
authorities have now come TO look up
on Artena as hopeless and remark that
1t Is far better that criminals should
Kill criminals than that innocent per
sons should be their victims. 1t is said
that OH one occasion when 23 murders
had been committed In that city In one
day the fact was reported in one of the
Italian papers In the following terms
"Slnce our last issue ca hours beforel
there have been % sudden deaths IN
Artena," and no further notice of the
murders was taken or expected.

| NEELYISM
And Cuban Frauds
Are Too Much For the
Cuban People.
Regard the Administra-
ton With Suspicion.
-a
Conduct of American Officials
Has Killed
The Spirit Of Annexation Among the
Cubans.

New York, Sept. 19.--(Spl.)--A special
dispatch from Havana to the Journal,
say that the election of nationalist
majority in the coming constitutional
convention is generally regarded as a
blow at the plans of the Washington
administration for Cuba. The Nation
alist party is revolutionary in eharac-
ter and dts leaders are In condition
of mute rebellion against the Mckinley
government. They are hot for imme-
dlate independence and inclined to
regard the program of the administra-
ton with suspicion as to its ultimate
purposes in regard to Cuba.
One Of the Nationalist delegates,
Senor Alfredo Zayas, is quoted as say
ing:
THE delegates will not allow them
selves to be Influenced by any represen-
tatives of the u. s. The convention
will adopt and follow an independent
policy throughout, refusing to decide
as to the relations which shall hereaf-
ter exist between Cuba and the United
States. That is matter which should
be left to a special commission and not
disposed of by the convention"
Any feeling in favor of annexation,
say the Nationalists, has been killed
by the conduct of many of the Amer
ican officials sent to Cuba, particular.
ly those concerned in the Neely
frauds.
Government officials are said to be
uneasy tnat the convention will cut
loose from the military government
aud express it's disapproval frankly of
the present administration of Cuban
affairs. sf go

A PrInce,s Prank.

The Prince de Ligne, a resplendent
figure among the brilliant courtiers
and adventurers of the time of Louis
XVI, told many amusing anecdotes in
his Memoirs" one of which shows
him, sword in hand, at a duel which
called for gaiety rather than courage
The Comte de Segur and the Prince de
Ligne were coming out one very rainy
night, after supplng with Madame de
Polignac in the Rue de Bourbon No
coach was to be seen, and no person
there to fetch one. Let us pretend
to fight" the prince said to Comte de
Segur, and that will bring the watch
they'll arrest us, and Wen make them
get a carriage to take us to the com
missary." On which they took their
swords in hand with a fearful scuf-
fe, and cries of oh! An: Are you
dead? Are you wounded?" The watch
passed and repassed quite near them
on the Port Royal, but apparently
frightened, they did not arrest the
duelists and they, half-dead with
laughter and the fatigue of the battle,
had to go home on foot in the rain,
after all!
The suburban citizen., 1900-01-13

you join a club, and But what Is
the use?" and then she would walk
away and sigh.
Here was a golf-player who wouldn't
talk about golf 1t was most alarm
ing.
There was only one encouraging
symptom, and he was a young doctor
who used to call-well, quite often.
She had met him on the links, so we
gathered, and certainly the two talked
about golf whenever they met-so far
as we knew.
II wasn't long before my daughter
came to me for the initiation fee to
join a golf club to which young Dr..
Simmons belonged. l gave her the
money with eager joy, and at the first
opportunity / thanked the doctor for
his kind interest in my daughter.
You are a shrewd young man." l
said, "and you ought to rise in your
profession. You have seen how anxi-
GUS we have been to interest Gwendo-
len in golf, and you have seconded our
efforts ably. l appreciate your disln-
terestedness and shall not forget it"
He seemed confused, and murmured
something about his own pleasure"
but l smiled courteously and cut him
short.
My son Bobby was at first scornfully
superior to the attractions Of the new
game, He used to cough in a highly
artificial way when DR.. Simmons and
Gwendolen were exchanging views
about bogie, and puttees, and bunkers,
and lofters, and would try to engage
me in a vigorous discussion as to the
charms Of jackstones, old maid, mug
gins, and other trivial games. So far
as golf was concerned he seemed an
immune.
Therefore we we're all much sur
prised, one evening at dinner, to hear
him interrupt DR.. Simmons, who was
delivering an enthusiastic eulogy Of
the royal game.
1T is adapted, said the young ply
sician, Ito every age It has all the
fascination Of billiards, with the added
glories Of the open air 1t is cheap
and engrossing. The simplicity of the
game-to drive the ball toward its
goal and to place 1t accurately on the
green. when it Is deftly propelled into
the hok-alope makes It simple for the
The suburban citizen., 1900-01-13

"Well," said Bobby, heres what he
said. There's a lot of kinds of golf,
says Benny, Yes? says I. Yes. says
he There's golf golf, and there's
dude golf Oh says I, and which
kind does DR.. Simmons play?' Oh,
ne plays dude golf says Benny"
Father" Gwendolen exclaimed
hastily, Il do hope"
Nonsense" said, laughing. Let's
hear the caddies side Of it. You and
the doctor have held the field long
enough. Go on, Bobby"
To my surprise, Dr. Simmons and
Gwendolen seemed really annoyed,
but was resolved not to mind their
silly sensitiyeness.
And Bobby went on:
What's dude GOLF? l asked Benny.
And Benny, he says: Why, you get
your best girl, and you holds her hand
to show her how to drive, and you
holds her hand to show her how to
putt, and you comes to a nice shady
place, and you sits down and talks for
two hours while the caddie whistles
and his feet get asleep, and"
But saw that l had made an awful
mistake. Luckily we had finished our
coffee, and at this moment my wife
rose hastily, and in a moment Bobby
and I were left alone
With mastery skill suppressed the
rest of Bobby's story and turned the
conversation to his last school report
which soon repressed any tendency
to further conversation on his part.
As soon as possible l sent Bobby to
bed.
When l "joined the ladies' DR.. Sim
mons was gone, and Gwendolen and
her mother we're evidently too deeply
engaged in conversation to be inter-
rupted, I merely mentioned in pass
Ing that had some writing to do, and
betook myself to my study
When alone / drew up a report OF
