When crispi Was Lucky.


The late Francesca Crispi the great
Italian statesman. once escaped arrest as
p TevoiLtiOnist because he did not have
a sou wherewith to buy q candle. The
story is as follows;
On Jan. L. 1855, Francesca Crispi, the
recently deceased Italian statesman.
then a political refugee in Paris. received
from ar Italian friend connected with
the Paris opera two gallery tickets for
the performance Of that evening, which
the emperor and empress were expected
to attend. Crisui and his wife were on
the point OF starting Tor the theatre
when the latter exclaimed: Francesca,
where shall we get g Candle2 They
were in such restitution that they had
neither candles nor matches, nor yet
the wherewithal 70 buy them. Going %
the opera would involve cropping for
their room at midnight and going TO bed
in total darkness Too proud 20 confess
their condition and borrow few sous,
they regretfully denied themselves the
promised treat. remaining I'm their room
ana retired before the twilight had faded.
On the following morning they learned
OF Orsiuis attack on the emperor. the
police raids and the arrest OK all ltal-
ian revolutiOnists found IN OF near the
theatre. If Crispi had been in the house
he would certainly have been among the
first arrested. for he vas known as an
ardent disciple of Mazzini.
The possession of talOw candle and
a match might have altered completely
not only his own destiny. but also that

HOW WILSON GOT THE JOB.
A Story Which Possesses Some Local
Interest.
CWashington Post.


The other day a gold Democrat from
Mississippi rubbed his rabbits foot
against the columns Of the White
House portieo. went up to the presi-
dents room. told the president a story
and came away smiling. The sequel Of
the incident came when the senate yes
terday confirmed the name of Edgar s.
Wilson to be United States marshal for
the southern district of Mississippi.
Mr.. Wilson is a newspaper man and
the father of a husky lad of IA. Ac-
cording to the story which Wilson told
the president, the boy came home from
school one day during the last cam
paign very indignant because another
lad who had worn q Mckinley and
Roosevelt button had been roughly
treated
Get me a Mckinley and Roosevelt
button, papa" said the valiant young
Wilson, and I Will show the boys that
they can't scare me-"
Mr.. Wilson secured the town OF Jack
son for the desired button and finally
discovered one in a barber shop. He
pinned it on the lapel Of the boys coat
and, having bestowed a parental bless
ing, sent the yOungsteT forth TO school.
AT night the lad returned little the
worse for wear. but the button was
still in its place.
Pop, said the boy. tTiumphantly
I've still got the button. but I had to
lick four boys to keep 1t"
Good, good" exclaimed the presl-
dent at this point. enthusiastically.
The next day. according 10 the story.
young Wilson whipped two boys. and
after that be yanquished TIE biggest
boy in the school. Having licked all
opponents to a standstin, he continued
TO wear the button quite proudly and
undisturbed.
The president decided that the father
OF such a courageous youth was enti-
tied TO the office Of marshal, and. in
addition, made him the referee in an
disputes over Mississippi patronage. II

LOSES HIS PLACE FOR
WRITING A CURT NOTE

Washington March 29.-As one result
Of his activities in the Stone case. Mr.
Dickinson has lost his position as
diplomatic representative 30 Bulgaria.
when he was In Sofia last fall he ad-
dressed very strong representations to
the Bulgarian minister of foreign at
fairs and apparently he has not been
forgiven, for now Information comes
20 hand that he is persona non grata
A minister or diplomatic ageat can
not be retained at his place against
the viii of the country to which he is
accredited and that is Mr.. Dickinson s
position. Ii is very probable however,
that our government, as a manifesto
lion of its displeasure. viii refrain from
sending another diploh attic agent to
Sofa, though il viii not be thus pre-
vented from making any demands
upon the Bulgarian government in the
matter Of tire Stone case. which the
inquiry now in progress may seem to
justify The Bulgarian government has
no representative here, Mr.. Dickinson

side being diplomatic agent to Bull
garia. and receives a lump salary Of
$1,000 per annum. 1t is not likely that

fee OF chairman Of the executive COM
mittee to shoulder the details of the
forthcoming grand lodge convention.
For many moons, now, it has been a
question Of more or less gravity in the
local lodge as TO who Of the 500-odd
members is best fitted to take ahold of
the gigantic proposition of pushing
through the convention that is to
bring thousands and thousands of Wis
itors to Salt Lake. Without question.
the lodge is in favor of mantling James
c. Leary with the responsibility. and
Mr.. Leary is just as anxious to avoid

A few weeks ago Mr.. Leary was
made chairman Of the executive COM
mittee Of No. s., He didn't know then
what it meant believing the office
would expire when the annual instalIa-
ton services take place, and that would
be the end Of it. He was right about
that. The committees all die next
Wednesday evening. but the plan is to
reinstate Mr.. Leary as chairman for
the ensuing year, and that means the
bulk Of the work in connection with
the grand lodge session.
Mr.. Leary, dreading the responsible
ty, as any man might, has within the
past forty-eight hours sent in his res
ignation, in a desperate effort to avoid
the reappOintment. but from present
indications he will be forced into the
place.

These were the questions
asked yesterday by all who heard a
wild story on the streets 10 the effect
that Chief Of Police Hilton had been
offered $1,000 to resign his Office. and
that Councilman Fernstran had like
wise been tempted with a bribe of
$1,000 to come to Mayor Thompson's
rescue to accomplish the removal Of
the police chief by the votes Of eight
Of the councilmen.
As the story went the rounds. the
offer was made by some one, whom
none of the REALTORS Of the rumor could
name, early last week to Chief Hilton,
and that as late as Tuesday evening,
Just before the council convened, some
nameless individual intended By ap-
pointment Il be on hand 10 pay over
the coin to Councilman Fernstrom.
who. it was alleged in the story circu-
lated, intended to catch the briber in
a trap.
All Ridicule the Story.
Chief Hilton laughed a. the story
and ridiculod it. He had heard it, but
denied that any bride had been offered
him or that any hint of any such offer
as the rumOr indicated had been sug-
gested.
Councilman FernstrOm admitted that
he had negotiated with Councilman
Robertson TO bring Democratic support
to the relief of the mayor and the sew
en- Republicans to perfect the plan Of
TeOrganizing the police department, but
the basis of the deal was to be a share
of patronage. However, the deal fell
through. He declared there was no
foundation for the bribery story in so
far as it connected either him or Rob
ertsOn with it. The councilman from
the Fifth was likewise emphatic in
ridiculing the story.
Mayor Thompson dismissed the sub
ject by saying he would not give
cents TO have the police department
difficulty settled in the way the bribery
story indicated.
Chairman Eardley Of The council
committee on police Admitted that
weeks ago he had heard some one say
that some one else had heard some sa-
loon man say he believed that 81, 900
would settle the police chiefs council
manic support, and that he, the saloon
man. would be willing to be one Of
twenty to raise this much money for
the purpose. Councilman Eardley be

WAS BEATING HIS WIFE.
Officer Has Hard Time Stopping a

To stop a domestic fracas on Third

succeeded in establishing peace rela-
tons again by landing the irate hus-

IS that of wife-beating.
The principal instigator of the trou-
bic was DR.. Schultze, a dentist, who
has appeared before the bar Of the po-

the story of his wife. ne came home

the attention of Officer Brown, but in
order to get to the rooms Of the par

adjoining house.
When he got to the window of the
room he saw Schultze in the act of
beating his wife and choking her at
the same time. Breaking through the
window the officer arrested the hus-
band and marched him to jail. Mrs.
SChultZe bore several bruises and cuts
on her face from the effects Of the
