BANDIT Is POPULAR.
Musolino Highly Esteemed by Peas

Considered IA DemigOd by
the People.

What a career of crime, bloody and
vengeful, it is in which has INDUCED
the last of Italy's bandits, to the great
joy of south Italy peasants and the
amusement of the civilized nations.
Born of a family more or less affected
with brain trouble and otherwise alb
normal, Giuseppe Musolino, epileptic
since childhood, started on his ca
reer of crime when, at the age of IL,
he inflicted a mortal wound upon a
companion with whom he had quar-
relied. For this act he was imprisoned
for several years. Upon his release he
was accused rather naturally of most
of the crimes of any neighborhood in
which he happened to be. At the age
of Is he threatened his father so seri-
ously that the protection of cara
bineers was asked. Two years later
he Joined the local section of that in
famous society. the Malta" which in
the southern part of Italy is known
as the Piccaotheria or bad life"
Musolino had a rival for the leader
ship of the Piccaotheria, whom he
killed. This was October ~. 1897
This man. Zoccoli, and his relatives of
the same name seem to have been the
Nemesis which drove Musolino on to
his career of crime and brigandage.
In his trial for the killing of Zoccoli,
Musolino's companions in the "Mafia"
did not observe the usual custom of
secrecy, but gave witness against him.
This was the additional bitterness
which made him VOW to get revenge
on anyone who had been in any way
connected with his arrest and trial.
His sentence was for 81 years of hard
labor. but in less than four months
Musolino escaped and retreated to the
forest where he started on his career
of vendetta. He at once let his fam

in time for great crises. They are not

The pamphlet which Mr.. Lansburgh
loaned the writer was issued manifest
ly for the purpose of booming the new
enterprise; and presumably to aid in
the disposal of stock in order to raise
money to further develop the business.
Stock which people to-day would be
glad to buy was hesita tingly taken in
those days. 1t seems strange to us
that anybody should have hesitated
But distrust is the habit of conserya-
tive men. The narrator once heard
the great Methodist pulpit orator,
Bishop Simpson, say:
"How can anybody blame the people
for not accepting Jesus when he was
on earth? I don't blame them. He
was out of the ordinary. They did not
comprehend His words or His works.
He spoke as never man spake. His
words were high above them. His
works made the wise and conservative
old Jews believe that he was a mounte-
bank. He was beyond their compre-
hensicn."

duty of five per cent, as was done in
the case of foreign goods entering
China, and it is this arrangement
which is to be changed. OF course the
consent of the United States is given
with the understanding that other ma
tions will take the same stand. The
new arrangement must be ratified by
the senate at its next session.
Seyyid Ali bin Hamoud, youth of
II, the son of the late Hamoud bin
Mahomed bin Said, has just succeeded
his father as sultan of Zanzibar, Mr..
Rogers, the prime minister, acting as
regent until he attains the age of 21.
The new sultan was selected to sue
coed, after the rebellion at the access
sion of his father, in order that the
Pretender Khaled might be excluded,
and was brought to England to be edu-
Gated at Harrow. His school days were
uneventful, and, if report be true,
marked by an entire lack of ambition,
Ali bin Hamoud neither rising from
the bottom of the school nor eXcelling
in the playing field, where his football
is said to have been more ferocious
than classical.
