ITALY Is BEaGARs' PARADISE.


Italy seems to be a paradise
for clever and unscrupulous beg
gars, for 1t was in that country
that Tori, who died a few years
ago, repeated his rich harvest of
charitable doles. When at last
the beggar died his sordid rooms
were found to be treasure houses
of silver and gold asd securities.
When they had been thoroughly
ransacked the spoil amounted to
no less than 1000, 900 francs, all
of which went to two nephews of
Tori, who were in a deplorable
condition of poverty and to whom
the old man would not give a
crust of bread during his life.
Another Italian beggar who
found his profession highly prof
table was Alberto Righotti, who
for fifty years and more solicited
aims in the chief cities of his
native country. Alberto appears
to have been born under a lucky
star, for early in his career as a
medicant he won a prize of over
S15, 900 with lottery ticket given
to him by one of his patrons, and
by lucky investment more than
trebled it's value. When he died
in a wretched garret in Rome in
1899 be left the whole of his fort
une, amounting to S280,O00, to

was literally stuffed with bank
notes of the value of 300, 900 fran

remarkable still is the story of
another Partisan beggar, Henri
Bompard, who was arrested in
the Boulevard Sebastopol, sfew
months ago for assaulting with
his crutch a gentleman who re-
fused him aims. On him w 8

There we're many bills of great in
terest considered by the House Judi
ciary Committee yesterday. and while
some were passed ever 10 another
day some of much Importance We're
ordered reported favorably.
\ bill introduced by Mr.. \. w.
Graham. of Granville to change the
method of trial in cases where an ap-
peal has heretofore been granted TO
carry the c;,se to another county was
given a favorable report. This pro-
vides that in such cases a special
VeniTC shall be summoned from coun-
ties i'm tie district, or adjacent coun-
lies. and the trial takes place in the
county where the crime las been
committed or from which a removal
has heretofore been allowed.
In the discussion of this bin the
case of NcC,ue, of Charlottesville on
this Virginia plan, vas referred to
many times. 1T seemed TO be the
seneraT opinion that the change
would work wei and would cost far
less.
Another bill that goes 10 protect
injured women was reported fay0ra-
big. This provides that where a
man. charged with seduction, marries
the woman in order TO escape prose-
cution, and then deserts her, without
good cause within twelve months
after tie marriage, shall be put on
trial as for the original case of So
duction. the penalty of which is a
