ARISTOCRACY OF ITALY.
Noble Lord Who Was a Street Scaven-
ger, Another a Waiter.
From the London Mail,

| From the London Mail
! There is an old Venetian adage which
says "Conte che non conta non conta
niente" "a count who doesn't count
| (money) doesn't count for anything). And
this cynical proposition represents fairly
well the sentiment of the modern Italian.
| In that country the general feeling toward
the titled aristoerary is will not say one
of contempt but at best of utter indiffer-
| ense. The lesser sort of titles are regard
ed almost valueless, even by their pos
SCISSORS. And now "A new and rising aris-
tocracy, supplied from the ranks OF indus
| try and commerce, are displacing the fam
HieS of ancient and resounding name. the
members of which fall into obscurity and at
times into fulfilling the most mental Offices
l have known A case of a noble lord who
followed the interesting occupation of a
street Scavenger. In cafe in certain
Italian town / was habitually served by a
waiter with the title of count and a name
famous in Venetian history. And | am per-
sonaliy acquainted with lord OF ancient
| lineage whose title descended from father
engaged in the avocaticn of railway por-
ter.
In general the aristocracy of Italy are
mserably poor. They make a brave show.
but behind the splendor of personal trap
| pings and adoTnments there is often the
shadow of bare dwellings and empty cup
boards This, in Italy, is possible and easy.
for in that country life is passed in the
sun and air, and the obligations Of his
pitality are much less stringent than in
England.
The gilded youth of Venice who, in the
imma culate habniments of a Beau Brum-
mel, and with airs of lords of priucipalities
swagger across the Piazza San Marco, and
set the hearts of fair visitors fiuttering with
their magniicence and majesty, contrlve to
do all this on something like three francs
a day.

Pincio at Rome has splendor little in

than the three members of the Adams fam
lily were possibly in the house when the
shooting occurred. Lieut.. Daley. Precinct
Detective Johnston. Sergt. Falvey and Po-
liceman Bateman participated in the in
vestigation. Capt. Boardman sent Detec-
tive Parham to the house and he also made
an investigation. The detective satisfied
himself that only the three members Of the
family were in the house.
While the condition Of Mrs. Adams is Sc
rious, she appears strong. and was able to
tell of the shooting without much effort.
She declared that the only persons in the
house at the time were the three members
of the family. She said she had been afraid
he would do something of this kind, al
though only three nights ago he declared
he would not harm a hair of her head. De-
spite his treatm of her. she expressed
the belief that his mind was affected, and
that he was not responsible for his con-
duct The shooting is the fifth double
tragedy that has occurred in this city dur
ing the past few weeks.
Coroner hewitt investigated the affair this
afternoon. He heard the statements of wit
nesses. and reached the conclusion that an
inquest would be unnecessary, because the
man who had done the shooting had put
himself beyond the power of human law.
