ON MURDER TRIAL.
An Accident Betrays . Guilty CeupIe
After Thirty Years Of
Security.

Nemesis seldom has tracked the evil
doer longer or more persistently to the
final reckoning than in the case OF Mi
chael Rigosa and his wife Adele, re-
Gently on trial in Rome for the murder
Of the husbands parents almost 80
years ago, says a London exchange.
Adele Retrosi then was the wife of a
rich Italian landowner. He was older
than she, their tastes were not in COM
mon. and he scarcely commanded her
respect. Soon after msrriage they be-
gan to drift apart, so that one day
when Michael Rigosa came to the ole
chateau the pretty Adsle was open to
his batteries. 1t was not long until all
but the husband saw the mutual at
tachment that had sprung up between
the two. He went ON, blinded, to his
death.
Not so the parents Of Rigosa- They
objected to the elopement that had
been planned, and which the ardent
son had impaired to them. There was
a stormy scene. Finally the parents
threatened exposure. The sons mer-
curial temperament broke all bounds,
and he plunged a stiletto into the
hearts of both his father and his
mother.
Blood maddened, he fed to the
chateau where he told the story to the
beautiful Adele. They had gone SO far;
they must go farther. The rich hus'
| band was in the house, but before the
| two guilty ones stole away from 1T
shadow he lay dead, with the same
stiletto in his heart.
| The two were captured. and sen
| fenced to death. They escaped to Con
stantinople, and from there to New
| York. where they lived for years
Finally, feeling that the italian polic'
had forgotten the crime, they re
turned to Naples boldly, and for 2
| years they had lived there in sumptu
Gus style when an accident betraye'
fhem. After 80 years the Italian pena
code allows immunity for crime. bu
at the time of the arrest only 20 year
| and seven months had elapsed.
So, imprisonment for life has com
to them at last, the death penalty ha,
ing been abrogated in Italy severa
years ago.

Dated Beginning Of Year from
Opening Of Spring
When All Things h Nature start
Airesh.
Some Other Things In Which the Ancients
Have Given Us Points.

The ancients began their year with
the advent of spring. How much
more appropriate thus to begin the
New Year with the new life of ma
ture in the awakening spring. At
this season all processes throughout
the natural world start afresh.
The ancients also showed their
sagacityand appreciation of the great
changes and active processesof spring
time, by realizing that this is also the
time for renewed life and energy in
the human system. They well knew
that the blood should be cleansed
from impurities and the nerves REIN
vigorated at this season. Hence the
establishment of the custom Of TAX
ing q good spring medicine.
This most sensible and healthy
custom is followed by almost every
body at the present day, few people
of intelligence venturing to 60
through this trying time of change
from winter to summer without tax
ing a spring medicine.
The unanimity on this subject is Q
settled fact; the only question hereto

The Telephonoeraph.

This is combination of the phono
graph with the telephone, intended
to record telephone message on a
wax cylinder at the receiving end of
the telephone line. The record IL
made by a stylus actuated by the un-
dulations produced by the sound
waves. From the impressed cylin-
der the message can be .retrans-
formed into spoken words by the or.
binary method of monograph. The
usefulness of the instrument depends
upon the fact that by its means q
message can be sent when the in
tended recipient is absent. Upon his
return fhe latter can set the phono
graphic apparatus going and lister
to the message at his leisure
