YOUNG victim OF
The BLACK HAND
Salvador Bossato, a Young Italian,
Shot to Death in His Fa-
theirs Restaurant.
HE HAD DISCLOSED TO The POLICE
SECRETS OF THE BLACK HAND
His Murderer, Carl ROssati, Had, LII
is Said, Been Imported From To-
rontO, Ont, to Commit the Deed
Narrowly Escaped Vengeance OF
a. Mob.

New York, Aug. 24.-Salvatore Bos-
soto, Is years old, was shot to death
in his fathers restaurant in Park
street by Carlo Rossati, 35 years old,
because he disclosed to the police Sc
crets Of the alleged BLACK Hand"
The father was knocked down and
choked into insensibility by the slayer,
who then ran down the street followed
by a great mob. Italians to the num-
Der of 1000 later attacked the Eliza
beth Street police station, hurled mis-
siles at the police and prisoner, hurt
ing two detectives and n policeman.
They would have torn the murderer
limb from limb had it not been for
the arrival of the reserve police from
two station houses, who were forced
TO use clubs and fists, and threatened
TO shoot.
According to the police, the murder
was deliberately planned by an organ
lied gang, and this gang is alleged to
have SEM to Toronto for Rossati, who
arrived here Tuesday night. After his
arrival he was seen about Mulberry
bend with Italians, and because of his
immense stature created much atten-
ton.
Bossoto is an enemy of these organ
lied gangs and his son inherited the
fathers opposition to the laWless ele-
ment of their cOuntrymen. When not
studying music, young Bossoto helped
ahn4,t thu rocfa I1t-aNt Several weeks
ago he learned that the murderous
gang about Mulberry had planned
10 rob a number of miners who were
coming through New York and who
had engaged board in the lodging
house over the BOSSOuo restaurant.
Young BoSsOto went TO the police
and asked protection for the men. and
soon an Italian detective had arrested
II suspicious characters, who were
held until the miners had sailed for
their homes.
Once out of Jail. it is said. the ganG
determined on Bossoto's death. Early
Wednesday morning Rossati entered
the restaurant. and, when approached
by the elder Bossoto, said he wanted
nothing. AS Bossoto was about to
close the place, he asked Rossati to
leave. The latter became insolent and
refused.
Young Bossoto, who was in the
kitchen. heard his father and the man
in an argument. He came out, and
up TO this time the man had made
no demonstration of violence, but the
instant he saw young BOssoto, ROssati
took a pistol from his pocket, leveled
it at the youth and fired. The bullet
struck the boy between the eyes, and
he fell, dying instantly. ROssati then
according to the police, struck the
elder Bossoto with his fist, knocking
him down. and started to run. but was
captured before he had gone two
blocks.
On Sunday the Bossotos found OF
their door the bridge of DEATH" {;
cabalistic sign of the Sicilians which
is said to be a threat of death. The
elder Bossoto looked upon this as
joke at the time.
At the police station Rossati sail
little beyond declaring he shot in self
defense.

A great many Americans have gone
to Canada during the past few years,
but the number has been exaggerated.
This is shown by the report of the con-
sui general of the United States, who
points out that during the past two
years fewer than 10000 have gone
from the United States into Canada, in
stead of the great army which has been
represented by some of the newspapers
and other sources of information. The
American who goes across the border
can be spared. He is by no means es
sential to the country that he leaves
ami he will not be greatly missed.

TO KEEP YOUNG.

What is old age, anyway? Scien-
lists tell us it is kind of atrophy of
the tissues and organs connected with
The changes in the blood vessels.
To counteract this tendency we must
supply the tissues and organs with
healthy blood. Life, therefore, de-
pends to a great extent upon our
ability to keep the circulatory system
in healthy condition. The best
methods of doing this may be briefly
summarized as follows:
Take plenty of exercise in the out
door ALPHABETICALLY in the country,
and the benefit of such a walk is in.
creased if only very small quntity
of fluid and food be taken during the
walk. A good lunch for such walk
is sandwich and an orange.
This walk in the open air not only
enriches the blood with oxygen. but
it strengthens the skin and nervous
system, ahd through this the diges-
tive system.
Great moderation in the amount of
food, and especially of flesh food
should be practised, particularly by
old people. There is no longer any
doubt that moderate meat eating after
the "meridian of life" is reached is
conducive to longevity.
Drink distilled water and plenty Of
it after the age of forty years is reach
ed. Most water is too "hard" for
drinking purposes. The lime and
other alkalies and salts in it tend to
hardin the arteries and tissues, and
that means cold age" Moreover,
''soft" or distilled water is a dissolv-
ent and tends to absorb the poisons
and gases In the body.

presence of the malady.

presence of the malady.
'In one of the Dramas" writes the
officer, "a royal lover is afraid to take
q birchbark message in his hand lest
the rerspiration from his palms wash
away the message there. All cures
tried by love sick patients proved
ineffective. In tha drama "The Bhava-
bhut" the hero, Madhava, tries show,
moonlight, camphor, lotos roots, pearls
and sandal oil as remedies, but with
out effect. The Hindoos were so sure
that love was a practically incurable
sickness that they permitted a sufferer
to do almost anything to prevent from
dying of it,"
Few English ply sicians were fonnd
who believed that love was sickness
although one Londoner said !:
eff it be a disease It is as modern
as appendicitis, in spite of what the
ancients have to say upon the sub
ject."
In support of this claim he brings
forward the customs of the less deve'
loped races of the world to prove that
love in its higher sense is really mn.
known to them. He poiuts out that
among the savage tribes of Australia
one girl is as good as another in the
sight of wooer, because they "all
look alike and have the same degree
of intelligence. The Dyaks imprison
their young girls for seven years in a
cage, so that they may be bleached to
a light yellow by the sun and come
out with small feet and hands. The
bushmen and the wretched women are
so brutallized by the hardships of their
life that both sexes come to resemble
each other, and love for an individual
is not known.
"Therefore," concludes the writer
''if love is sickness, it is a develop
ment of civilization, because, in spite
of fairy stories to the contrary, the
savages cannot and do not fall in
love- as more refined people do. Love
sickness is certainly a mental com.
plant in any event, and low intelli'
gence cannot suffer from it.'-Neu
York Telegram.

Don't forget to burn all the old
nest material as soon as the sitting
hens leave the nest with their broods.
Take the nest boxos out and hold
them over the blaze-the inside should
be we'll heated, and if scortched or
charred little no harm will be done.
OF course these operations should be
done far enough away from the houses
so there can be no possible danger
from fire.
Mysterious ailments of brooder
chicks can often be traced to lack
of sufficient grit supply. Even when
regularly prepared grit is provided
it will be found beneficial to use good
sand literally for them to scratch
around and pick in. The sand should
be renewed every other day, and
should be kept dry.
Never put an egg away with dirt of
any kind on it. Eggs absorb odors.
Clean-shelled eggs help sell them and

Personal attention is what counts
in the poultry business. Rest assured
if you are attentive enough to your

pliment to be called a crank

But eggs of uncertain age are sure
To be doubtful and generally bad.
