.BROODED over
HIS FAILURE
TO GET WORK

Because he was despondent over
his failure to secure employment,
Angelo Manfrida, Italian. thirty
eight years old, committed suicide
last evening at his home in Grasselli.
He had requested his wife several
times during the late afternoon
hours to go on various errands but.
she suspicioned that something was
amiss with her husband and would
not leave him. However, he finally
succeeded in disarming her suspic-
ions and she went to a neighbor's
house to get a piece of money
changed. While there she heard a
shot and ran to the house closely fol-
lowed by man who also heard it.
When they entered the house they
found Manfrida lying across the bed
dead, and a child, one year of age,
playing with ring on his finger,
while the other child, a girl Of two,
was playing on the floor. Neither
tot realized what had happened. He
had shot himself with a thirty
eight calibre revolver. the ball enter
ing the right temple and emerging
from the left. OF course death was
instantaneous.
Manfrida had lived in Grasselli
for about three months and was
recognized as an unusually intelli-
gent and well educated italian. He
became despndent several weeks ago
and only last Sunday threatened to
kill his entire family should be much
longer have to 60 without employ
mept..
Only Wednesday ho was granted a
lucrative position with the United
Cash Stores Company as interpreter,
and advanced his first months sal
ary, $4,000. He was to translate
Italian, Hungarian and Spanish
languages, at which he was an expert.
1t is said that he spoke seven Ian
gauges fuently and was highly con-.
nected in Italy and was estranged
from his family because he refused
to enter the army. No arrangements
for the funeral have vet been made.
The widow is prostrated.

HIS NERVE
SEEMS TO HAVE
FAILED H|M

Sensational rlmors are current
Sthrougout the entire Italian colony
hereabouts in regard to the suicide
of Manfrida. Some, in fact all
Italians, who have been approached
on the subject claim that Manfrida
was an anarchist in the old country
and was detailed to assassinate d
certain notable person in this coun-
try. He evidently, if this surmise
be correct, had not either the nerve
or the opportunity to accomplish the
command and therefore secreted
himself in this region where he
thought the order would not be able
to reach him.
A few of his fellow-countrynen
contend that he had received; warn
ing that he either do the bidding ON
which he was detailed or else he
would meet a horrible death and that
he chose the self-destruction route
rather than be tortured. ti9tf
The fact that he is a highly .edu-
Gated man and known to have sprung
from an excellent Italian family.
lends color to the anarchistic theory.
Possibly, coal company officials
hereabouts who had refused him ems
ployment for no apparent reason
could throw some light on the sub
iect.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-10-01

The Duke of Argyll has joined the treasure hunters who go down in diving bells. delving for Spanish gold believed to be secreted in the holds of sunken vessels. Stranger yet is the circumstances that the duke did not come back empty-handed, like most everybody who has ever embarked in search operations at the bottom of the sea. From the hulk of a Spanish galleon in Tobermory Bay, on the West Highland coast. have just been recovered sixteenth century silver cup and other valuable objects. These discoveries encourage the duke to be- lieve that the divers are now within measurable distance of the board of doubloons the vessel is said to have had on board when she was lost. The head of the great house of Campbell is, as is generally known, far from being a wealthy man, and there would be re- joicing in Argylshire if big haul of treasure trove enabled the Mac Callum More to take up his residence once more in his ancestral castle and keep state there as of old.

Candy makers are protesting against the pure food law which goes into effect January 1 next because of the restrictions it places on coloring matter. They declare that quantity of aniline dyes are now used in the preparation of candy. and If the dyes are prohibited the confectionery busi- ness will be seriously affected. But the officials charged with the execu- ton of the law assert that there are plenty of animal and vegetable dyes which can be used without the nee essity of using aniline dyes. It may be more expensive to use something else in preference to aniline dyes, but these are alleged to be injurious. A high British medical authority, ac- coriIng to Doctor Wiley. chief of the bureau of chemistry, department of agriculture, says that 3O per cent of the kidney and intestinal troubles of the people in Great Britain are caused by improper preservatives and dyes fin food. Doctor Wiley says that the pure food law is most rigid in its ex- cIusion of deleterious coloring matter. and that candy manufacturers must conform to law.

He is shrewd enough to realize that the seed costs the con- gressman nothing. that he does not pay any postage on 1t and that as 1t is sent out by his clerk the congress man does not know nine times out of ten, to whom 1t is sent. But even If they were inclined to swallow these gifts as a personal remem- brance their intelligence should not be so underrated as to lead to the sending out of such varieties of seeds as are distributed under the guise of "rare and valuable" seeds. Con gress does not dare to label these gifts for what they are. "a cheap de- vice for catching votes," but makes the $25O,000 appropriation annually for "rare and valuable seeds.

The political effect of intervention

The political effect of intervention in Cuba with prospective annexation, furnishes an interesting theme for speculation. The prevailing opinion in Washington is that the country favors annexation If 1t can be done without dishonor, but that it would not tolerate anything that smacked of breach of faith. So far Secretary Taft has managed the Cuban affair, but his job is a mighty ticklish one and there is ever present the possibil- ity that he may do something that will blast his political prospects,. If the American flag goes up in Cuba the manner of its going, of course. will be made the subject of debate in congress next winter, and the president and MT Taft will have to show mighty clear hands if they es- cape democrats denunciation.
