BARBAGLIA SENTENCED.
The "ISinR of DaEO Hill" Given
Three Years for Completely in
Naturalization Frauds.

ST. Louis, May 3O.-John Barbaglia,
"King of Dago HILL" convicted in the
United States District court of forg-
ing and having in his possession
forged naturalization papers, was
sentenced to three years in the Mis-
souri, penitentiary by Judge Amidon.
In pronouncing the sentence judge
Amidon told Barbaglia that he had
been guilty of a grave offense against
the government, and that his sentence
was unusually light for the crime of
which he had been found guilty.
His confession and his action in tell
ing the names of those who were par
ties to the crime, and who were be-
hind him in the naturalization frauds,
the judge said, had earned for Bar
baglia a light sentence. On this ac-
count the leniency of the court had
been extended.
In conclusion, Barbaglia was ad-
monished to shun evil influences when
his sentence was completed, and to
live as a lava biding citizen of his
adopted country.
A meeting of the Italians who hold
forged or fraudulent naturaliza ton
papers, secured at the instance of
Barba glia and his associates, was held
Thursday night. 1t was decided tc
aid the government to convict those
who had imposed upon their ig.
norance and credulity.

CoNQUERoR OF TETANUs.
The Dread Disease, Locl<Jaw, Sue
cumbs to the Serum Treatment
at ST. Louis.

st. Louis, May 30.-The efficacy OF
the new antitetanic serum has been
demonstrated recently in two cases at
the city hospital. Frank Wakeman,
eight years old, and Ernest Smith,
railroad man, have both been saved
from the deadly tetanus by the use of
the new remedy, which has been
adopted to fight lockjaw in the city
institution. The experiment has been
costly, but it has been most satisfac-
tory. The expense to the city for
both cases was nearly 5000.
Wakeman had foot crushed three
weeks ago. He was taken to the city
hospital and symptoms of tetanus
developed. The use of the antitetanic
serum was Immediately begun and the
case responded to the treatment al
most Immediately. The boy is now
out of danger.
Smiths case was more stubborn,
and he has been under the treatment
of the city hospital physicians much
longer than the Wakeman boy. Smith
had a mashed hand. He was in the
hospital some time before there were
indications of lockjaw. Tetanus, how
ever, delevoped in a most virulent
form. Atone time Smiths jaws
were so tightly locked that they were
rigid and resisted the attempts of the
attendants to pry them open. He has

Washington, May 3O.-In the course

terry, Hon. Charles Emory Smith said:
"The beauty and sanctity of Me-
mortal day, instead Of declining, rath-
er increase with each succeeding
year. The great army beneath the sod
steadily swells in numbers; the Grand
Army which survives approaches closer
to the final bivouac. The old graves
have lost none of their hallowed glory,
and new graves add to the wealth of
flowers and affection lavished on these
consecrated spots. If these flower
crowned mounds should open and yield
up their noble denizens as they were
in life there would assemble under
these trees overlooking the broad
bosom of the Potomac and yonder
capitol of the republic, the largest
council of illustrious leaders of the
war that could be marshaled at any
place.
"And if they were thus assembled,
they would recognize that the repub-
lie has not been ungrateful to her de-
tenders. She has been generous to the
dead and to the living. This was your
lust due. You and those who fought
with you did the greatest work which
has ever been wrought for the ma
ton.

A FAVORABLE IMPRESSION.
Chaplain VOltmann's Ideas OF
Church Affairs In the Philippines
FaVOrably Received at Rome.

New York, May 3o.-Chaplain Watt;
mann of the Twenty-ninth United
States infantry, in his interviews
with the members of the sacred col
lege was very strong and energetic in
speaking of the situation in the Phil
lippines, says the Tribune's Rome
correspondent. He demonstrated the
necessity of abandoning Immediately
the present dilatory policy and of
taking measures to solve promptly the
different enthusiastically questions which
are vitally important in determining
the existence and advance of the Ro-
man Catholic church in the islands.
Chaplain Vattmann openly urged the
necessity of having, soon, an Ameri-
can clergy to take place of the
Spanish, and of raising, at the same
time, the standing and prestige of the
native priests in order to convince the
Filipinos that Rome also was deter
mined to begin new regime in the
archipelago.
The frank and earnest statement of
the chaplain produced a deep and IA
vorable impression at the vatican.
