zANARDELLI DEAD.
He Was Leadss5 Of The Progressist Party
and a Noted Writer.

death of Former Premier Zanardelli at
Maderno' neafe Bresica. sixty miles from
Milan. a.
Giuseppe zaa3rdeliis who has been out of
power only short time as premier of
Italy was a soldier, lawyer, statesman,
leader of the progressist party, and one of
the greatest orators in the Italian parlia-
ment.
He had frequently been a member of the
cabinet during the last twenty-five years
Inc first time was in 1878, when he was
mace minister of the interior in the Carroll
CABINET. The next year he gave way to
Slgnor Depretis, and subsequently, Joined
Crispi and Nicotera In their opposition to
the government. In May, 1881. he made his
peace with Depretis and Joined the latter's
caplnet as minister of Justice and eccle-
siastical affairs.
From this position he retired In May 1885,
and again became, with Crispi, Nicotera
and Carroll, bitter opponent of Depretls
Peace between the factions of the left was
patched up in November of the same year,
but 1T was not until April, 1887 that lamar
deli again took office.
He was then again made minister of JUS
tlce and ecclesiastca affairs under De-
pret1s, and was continued in that office
when Crispi became prime minister on the
death of Depretis, in July, 1887.
Ianardelli remained In the ministry up to
ruary, 1891, when he attempted to form a
ministry, but raled During the admins
ira lions of Rudni and Giolotti he did not
hold any cabinet position. but in 1892 he
again became prominent figure in parlia-
ment as president of the chamber OF depu-
ties.
On the fall of the GiolotH ministry. in
November, 1893. Zanardell1 again attempt
ed to form cabinet, but was unsucceSs-
full and had to give place to Signor Crispi,
whose bitter political enemy he then be-
came. He signalized this action by retiring
also from the presidency of the chamber of
deputies. His hostility to Crispi caused
him TO be beaten in provincial election at
Brescia, his native town, in May, 1895
After the general election of March, 1897
the Marquis di Rudini relied chiefly for sup
port in parliament the combined parties
of Zanardelli and Giolotti, the former being
reelected president of the chamber of dep
uues.
When Rudini reconstructed his cabinet in
December of the same year Zanardelli re-
turned to office minister of justice At
the beginning of June, 1898, another recon-
struction of the kudini cabinet took place
and Zanardelli again retired to the floor of
the chamber of deputies.
Signor Ianardelh's last term as premier
was from February IA, 1901, TO October 20
last, when he retired on account of i'll
health.
He was nervous and exctable in manner
and had a peculiarly incisive style in de-
bate. Few men in Italy We're more thor
ough1y respected by men of all parties than
he, and his writings on legal and poEticO-
economical subjects have a European repu-
Ia ton.

Wheaton could manipulate the combina-
ton, and then swung open the door. Wheat
on thanked him and went in. Two keys
were necessary to open all of the boxes;
one was common to all and was kept by
the bank. Wheaton easily found 1t, and
then he took from his pocket Porter's key
Which supplemented the other. His pulses
beat fast as he felt the lock yield to the
thin strip of STEEL and in a moment the box
lay open before his eyes. He had flashed
recognized instantly Porter's inscription
Traction on brown bundle. He then
opened his own box and took out his Trac-
ton certificate and carried it with Porter S
packet into the directors room.
He sat playing with the package which
was sealed In green wax with the plain
oval insignium of the bank. The packet
was larger than he had expected it to be;
he had no Idea of the amount of stock it
contained; and he knew nothing of the
bonds He felt tempted to open it: but
clearly that was not within his instru ctions.
He must deliver it intact to Fenton, and
he would do 1t instantly. He hesitated,
though, and drew out the certificate which
Evelyn had given him and turned the crisp
paper over in his hand. Each of them
owned one hundred shares of Traction
stock; he was not thinking of this but of
Evelyn, whose signature held his eye. 1t
was an angular hand, and she ran her two
names together with a long sweep of the
pen.
His thoughts were given a new direction
by the noise of collequy between the
Waterman and some one at the door, He
heard his own name mentioned, and thrust
Ing the certificates into his pocket, he went
out to learn what was the matter

Evelyn had telephoned to Mrs. Whipple
of her fathers Illness in terms which al
layed alarm, but when the afternoon paper
referred to 1t ominously the good woman
set out through the first snow storm of the
season for tho Porter house. carrying her
campaign outfit as the general called 1t, In
a suit case Mrs. Whipple's hopeful eQua-
nimity was very welcome to Evelyn, who
suffered women do when denied the
privilege of ministering to their sick and
forced TO see their natural office usurped
by others. Mrs. Whipple brought a breath
OF May into the atmosphere of the house.
She found ways OF dulling the edge of
Evelyn's anxiety and idlenesS; she even
found things for Evelyn TO do, and busted
herself disposing of inquiries at the door
and telephone TO save Evelyn the trouble.
In Evelyns sitting room Mrs Whipple
talked of clothes and made II seem great
favor for the girl to drag ont several new
gowns for Inspections kind of first view
she called IL: and she sighed over them and
said they were more perfect than perfect
lyrics. and would appeal TO a larger au-
dience.
She chose one Of the lyrics of black ohif-
fon and lace, with a high collar and half
sleeves. and forced Evelyn to put 1t on:
and when they sat down to dinner together
she planned a portrait of Evelyn in the
same gown, which Chase or Sargent must
paint. She managed the talk tactfully,
without committing the error Of trying to
ignore the sick man upstairs. She made
his Illness seem incidental merely and with
a bright side, in that 1t gave her chance

it's great fun to hear them banter each
other. l didn't know that Mr.. Saxton
could be funny. but In his quiet way he
says the drollest things"
II thought he was very serious" said
Evelyn. II rarely see him. but when do

Evelyn laughed.
