THE NEW REIGN IN ITALY.


 Those who expected that King Victor Emmanuel ITS reign would be coinci- dent with marked improvement in It. ally have so far been amply justified. Few Ventured to hope that his liberal ministry, under Signors Zanardelli and Giotltti would weather parliamenta- " session. As it is, despite some weakness and a few mistakes, it has come out triumphant. Compared with eighteen months ago, Italian politics has undergone what is little less than a revolution. The closing months of the last reign saw the most dangerous con- stitutional crisis that United Italy has known. A reactionary government was threatening parliamentary liberty; the liberals and socialists were making desperate stand, which at all events preserved the constitution and perhaps saved Italy from revolution. Now the signs of danger have almost passed. The crown is fast getting back it's pop ularity. Parliament is asserting Itself as it has not done for many years, and is able to give it's time to quiet, useful work. The extreme left, stubbornly oh- structionist last year, is giving an inde- pendent but fairly cordial support to the ministry Outside parliament Ital- ians have for once 8 government which allows them to breathe and move and speak," For the first time since Crispi introduced coercion, seven years ago, there is liberty of speech and public meeting. Still, occasionally the unteaehable censorship suppresses an issue of some democratic paper. But there is no prosecution for political

A SEVERE WOUND.
A Lad Falls While Enjoying Himself
With Playmates.

WIN ldymateS.
Sidney, the ten-year-old son Of
George Murphine, of North Laurel
street, met with a severe accident
while playing with several other play
mates on the corner of North and
Laurel streets, Thursday evening.
Young Murphine was running and
stepped from the curbing into the
gutter without noticing. He fell
upon his face, striking his head upon
the edge of the curbing. A cash
about two inches long, was cut in his
head over his right eye, The cut
started from the end of the eyebrow
near his nose, and extended the entire
length running Immediately in the
centre and just over the eye. The
flesh dropped upon the eye ball and
at first the seriousness of the wound
was not noticed but he was picked up
and taken home.
He was taken to Dr. Davis where
the danger was realized. The doctor
pronounced it very severe cut and
had it been half inch lower the eye
sight would have been destroyed. 1t
was necessary to take three stitches
in the cash. To-day the boy is i'm
proved. 1t was purely an accident
and luckily for the boy he has his
eve sight.

MRS. JONES MADE
LOTS OF TROUBLE.
She Scrapped With Her Husband
and Excited North Laurel
Street.

Saturday night there was all kinds
of excitement up North Laurel street,
and many people witnessed a very
disagreeable sight.
Frank Jones, man spoken of very
highly as good citizen, a packer at
the Cumberland Glassworks, lives
with his family on Laurel near North
street His wife seems to be of very
suspicious nature, and quarrels with
her husband necessarily. Some peo-
pie think she is mentally unbalanced.
Saturday night she drank some
liquor and had quarrel with Mr..
Jones, who later retired. Crazed
with liquor Mrs. Jones, partially un-
dressed, and with bare feet left the
house and went out in the street.
Mr.. Jones arose and went out to get
the woman back again, but she
showed fight and pummelled the un-
fortunate man mercilessly. Finally
officer Gaun appeared, and later Off
Ger Smith. They endeavored to get
the woman to return to her home but
she wouldn't go. They then brought
the woman to the City Hall and
locked her up in the station house.
She remained there all day Sun
day and was liberated Sunday night
and went off with her brother.
