We have been told certain facts
concerning the death of the young
Italian, Gaetano Giudici, of which
we wrote LAST week, that carry lessons
worth needing. Some days before
his death. it is said he mad oonviv-
ial night, with certain OF his friends
(it was Thanksgiving day night, we
believe) and was "in bad way" as
he went to his home. Previously to
this. as we hear it. his family phys
ician had left there some tablets of
corrosive sublimate, for special and
legitimate purpose, and mad told the
family of the poisonous nature of
them. Most unfortunately. as it
proved, sumo of these tablets we're
where he could put his hand upon
them at time of all Others when he
should not have had an opportunity
to do 80. He took some, dissolved in
water. and, after some days. in spite
of medical effort, he died. When
''he came to himself" and found
what he had done. he deplored it.
and felt he had had lesson he should
never forget, but all too late. He
was fine carver of granite, and
fine looking fellow. His young wife
seems like girl, yet. and we believe
is still in her teens; the mother of a
pretty, girl bsby. The case is in every
way pitable one, but persoLs who
have had their birth and training in
New England may we'll take into con-
sideration the remarks of an Italian
wife and mother, here, who was TAX
ling of this sad event with an Amer
lean wife and mother here, ave
Italians were brought up to look at
the use of wines, beers, etc., as you
Americans look upon the use of tea
and coffee"
