CITY OF LUCIA EN- FETE
OVER MUSOLINO'S TRIAL

finds himself a popular hero When he
and the witnesses called upon to testify
| in the court declare that he is innocen,
| of the original murder the crowds lister
and weep Historically and, forgetting OF
| approving his other murders, regard him
| as martyr.
Sentence Probably Light.
1t seems probable that this sentence. If.
indeed, he is convicted, will be very light.
The argument made by the defense is that
he was driven to his later crimes by an
overwhelming sense of Injustice. which
made him morally irresponsible for his
actions. Such is the argument which an
peals successfully even to the Tuscan
good sense.
Public opinion in Calabria does not even
seek to excuse the murderer. In that place
his crimes are completely justified. Muse
limos uncle. Filasto. created a great i'm
court room at Lucca. Filasto is a man
OF sound common sense. of unsullied rec
ord, and very much respected.
Az ough he lived al Santo Stefano. the
center of his nephew's murderous exploits.
he regards Musolino as "a gentleman
who merely discharged his duty in Sc
curing justice by his own hands Filasto
simply resembles the best type of his fel
low-citizens.
Indictment of Courts.
1t is an indictment of the justice of
Italian tribunals. an appeal to which does
not enter into the minds OF the honest
Calabrian. Official justice is costly and
slow, and is suspected of being corrupt.
The Calabrian will have none Of 1t, pre-
ferring the personal vendetta. 1t now
seems as II the result of the present trial
instead Of bringing home to the rest of
Italy the fact that Calabrian is a semi
barbarous province, that lacks all but the
most elementary institutions of civiliza-
ton, will rather be the increase, IL posi-
BILE, of the prestige of the. vendetta.

DELIGHTFUL EXCURSION,

The excurson to Newport on the
 steamer Chester W. Chapin yesterday
 was one of the finest trips of the season.
 There was comfortable sized and ex-
 ceedingly orderly crowd aboard and all
 voted the trip to be par excellence. The
 day was an ideal one for the sail to
 the famous summering place of the leaders of fashion and society and all enjoyed the two hours stay on land which gave ample opportunity for driv- ing the length of Bellevue avenue, and seeing the magnificent residences of the many prominent people. The return trip was made in remarkably good time and the night was perfect. The Second regiment orchestra, which was aboard, played most delightful half hour con- certs and they were much appreciated by all.

AT THE COLISEUM.

The Pink of American Bike Riders Will
 be at the Famous Track To-Morrow Evening-Surprising Results Expect
 ed.
 There will be bicycle races for glory and medals at the New Haven Coliseum tomorrow night that will likely cause keener sprints and better competition than any races held in this city in years. The cause of it ali is that the winner of each race. under special sanction of the N. c. A., will become the American champion. The riders have been train- ed for weeks back at the distance, and maybe these seasoned chaps, eager to wear the champions crown, will not hustle some! There are sprint races motor-paced events and ten-mile con- test that should produce better racing results than are usually seen.
 Champion Marcus Hurley is in fine form and confident that he will retain the laurels he won last year. If he does he will likely be matched soon to race Champion Frank Kramer in series of sprint matches to decide the premier ship of the two classes. There is great interest in tomorrow nights arrange ments and results, for record-break- ing crowd is being made. All the N. C. A. officials in Boston; New York and nearby cities will be on hand, besides quite a number of cycle fans from the tracks whereon the contestants first gained fame.
 The contestants will show the pick ot the amateur cyclists in America togeth. CT, and the racing may show some sur. prising results as in some circles Mar. GUS Hurley's defeat for the title at the hands of Ellington, Potter or Collett is freely talked of.
 Reserved seats for the championships are to be had. at S. Goodman & Co.'S s20 Chapel street, and at Beck's drus store, 339 Howard avenue.

 An event of much interest to people of
 this city took place last Friday at the
 home of Rev. C. H. Siebke. Warren street. It was the celebration of the aged

 Rev. G. Heczko. pastor of Emanuels s church, called personally on Rev. MT.
 Siebke and in behalf of the congregation extended to the aged pastor his most hear ty wishes. A delegation from the Ladies' society of this church also called on Rev. MT. Siebke and rendered him the,r best wishes and tokens of esteem and friend. ship in memory of the day. During the day many friends and relatives of Rev. Mir. Siebke waited on him and presented their congratulations. One of his daugh. ters, Mrs. Boyd wife of Former Assistant Postmaster Boyd, but now of Hartford, was also here and helped her father to fit. tingly celebrate the day.
 The celebrant Is one of the best known figures in German circles in this city. He for many years held the pastorship of Trin. ity Lutheran church. Resigning there, he founded EmanueIs church, where he preached for some years. He has retired from active service, but is as yet in good health and spirits and on sunny days en joys his morning walk and attends service at the church be founded

FORGOT HIS ADDRESS.

Patrick Mccarthy Emptied Some Ones
 Baggage in the Police Station.
 Patrick Mccarthy, city expressman, was hired by a passenger at the depot yesterday to take q trunk, bicycle and a satchel to his address in this city, but when he got block or two away from the depot he forgot the address of the man, and after pondering for ten or fif- teen minutes gave it us. Mccarthy didn't know what to do for a few min utes, but decided to take the goods to the police station. He told the sergeant on duty what had happened and the goods were taken off the wagon for safe keeping. Up to a late hour last night no one had called for the goods. The bicycle was an Orient, a new one in first -class condition. The trunk was g. small, cheap one, and the satchel was also a. cheap one. Both trunk and bag are heavy.
 Expressman Mccarthy couldn't ex- plain anything, excepting that he had forgot the address given him by the stranger.
