Malta In Chicago.

The recent murder of a Neapoiitan. Sal
vatore Di Giovanni, in the Sicilian quarter
of Chicago has caused the labelling of the
district in which he was killed as the most
dangerous in the city. Little sicily, lying
in Grand avenue, between Milwaukee ave
nue. and the river IL minutes from the
city hall by street car, is the most shun
ned spot in the municipality. Policemen
never go into Little Sicily save in
couples 1t is the land of the vendetta. the
home OF the Malta. and laws representa-
tives find mischief here. Its record Is
worse than those OF Little Hell" the
North Side plague spot; Cheyenne, the
Cherokee Strip" or even the leyee below
Van Buren street. The neighborh5od looks
innocent enough, but the tough blocks
along Canal, Hdlsted or jefferson street
never saw the time that more death lnrked
in them.
Giovanni was killed by a party OF five
Sicilians. There the knowledge Of the po-
lice ends. The theory is that he incurred
the hatred of some member of the Sieilian
COLONY. which in itself means death II one
enters the death district with the sting OF
the hate still burning, Little Sicily has
no need of law. It's members settle their
affairs among themselves. Appeal TO Amer
lean power to right wrong is forbidden
and the edict is seldom disobeyed. On the
outside the colony is respectable enough,
but beneath the house run tunnels in every
direction No arrests are ever made IN
Sieilian house, too many ways Of egress
being open TO the wanted parties. The
Malta reigns everywhere, yet the Mafil
can not he shown to exist No sieilian can
be found who belongs to it, yet all are or
dered by it. Its protection to It's members
is the protection OF silence, 1t IS com

hoi Hp very lonH ago rcctcVcu need cd, though rather severe, lesson on the necessity of being humane to animals in this day and generation. It was a very hot day, and when the drive was about half over the horse became bal. ky. The driver thercupon lost his temper and gave the animal an un. mcrciful beating Then the trouble began. A constable saw him and promptly arrested him for cruelty to animals. He was unable to pay the money, and his compa anion settled the business for him. Then she went home, and wrote him d note, and this is what it said:
 When a man will 90 brutaily beat a horse and SO easily lose his temper, a woman marrying him would subject herself to the same treatment"
 And the rest of the note released him from the engagement.
 Most people will be of the opinion that the young lady in question did exactly the right thing, and that she was exceedingly fortunate in discover ing the disposition of her fiance before instead of after marriage. lnsensibil- ity to the pain of another is not d trait which is particularly desirable in eith- CT husband or a wife. While, of course, it is not to be inferred that ev- cry man who will beat his horse will also beat his wife, cruelty to animals so vitiatcs the moral nature that those perceptions upon which a sense of jus ticc depends are blunted. The inti macy of marriage is so close that hap pincss can only exist where there is mutual forbearance together with q certain sensitiveness to the feelings of others. The man who does not pos sess this scnsitivencss may not be act so far as phy sical maltreatment is con ccrncd, but he will say and do things which are quite as brutal as d blow with whip would be. There are d dozen considerations which are likely to restrain him from wifcbeating the opinion of his ncighbors, fear that his wife may invoke the law, fear of re- taliation by her relatives, or merely the fact that it is not usual for Ameri can husbands to express their senti- mcnts in that way. But if his nature is essentially cruel he will find ways to torture those dependent upon him which are worse than any physical pain. The true test of d mans charac- ter is not to be found in his actions when he is restrained by public senti- mcnt or fear of consequences. He is his real self when he is free to act, 10 indulge meanness, or passion, or cruel ", toward some creature which cannot retaliatc and has no means of defense. The Jersey man who is the unenviable hero of the above recorded was Sabjec- ted to the test, and apparently failed. He may have had an idea that by his lack of consideration for his horse he was showing manly and stern strength of character which would inn press the girl in the seat beside him. Some men have an idea that women rather admire those who are capable of cruelty. These men are trying to fit sixteenth century ideas into twen- tieth century civilization. It can not
