DELAY WORK ON
N. & H. R. R.
FAILURE OF kNICkERBoCkER
TRUST COMPANY MAY STOP
SUPPLY OF FUNDS.
(Marsnall Gazette.)

The intelligence that the Knicker-
booker Trust Company, of New York,
had to close it's doors Tuesday on acs
count of a run made on the institution
by it's depositors, will be sad news to
the many friends of the proposed
Nashville & Huntsville Railroad, as
this is the company which was to fur
nish the money necessary to build and
equip the road ! While the company
will, doubtless, be able to pull through
this trouble all right, as it has Pier
pont Morgan and his partners at the
back OF It, yet 1t will necessarily
cause an indefinite delay in beginning
work on the road, If nothing worse.
The whole trouble seems to have been
caused by the resignation of Mr..
Charles Barney, the President OF the
company. The impression evidently
took hold upon the depositors that
there was something wrong with the
company because Mr. Barney resigned,
they, doubtless, thinking that he had
become involved financially and, per-
haps, was indebted TO the company.
But the statement is made that Presi-
dent Barney resigned because he had
other interests which demanded his
attention. and not on account of any,
trouble Of the Trust Company. whose.
affairs are said to be In good condi-
tiou. = ~

MACARONI TALE

Everyone pictures, the Italian as eat
ing macaroni What if tell you that
the Italians, taking them as a people
do not eat macaroni-and vet this Is
virtually true says a writer in thf
Pathfinder. Macaroni in Italy costs
four to eight cents pound, and it is
too costly for common use. 1t is
about as accurate to say that the
Italians live On macarcni as that the
Americans live on turkey. Mocaron

You often see young fellows on q
holiday indulging in dish in 2
restaurant or before a street cook
stand about as Americans would eat
ice cream A customary workman's
dinner is a hunk of bread broken apart
and "buttered" with few traces of
tomato sauce. AS for meat, it Is the
greatest rarity, and the only drink
they can afford is water, which has
the advantage of being cheap and fill
ing. The Italians at home are not
only temperate, but abstemious; wine
and beer, and even tea, coffee and
chocolate, are forbidden to them on
account of the expense. In all Italy
we saw no one under the influence of
liquor So, also, there is practically
no smoking. The Government has a
monopoly of the tobacco business,
buys its supplies in quantities direct
in American and elsewhere, and
charges three prices for everything.
The few tobacco shops keep a piece
of smoldering tow tied at the door
post, so that patrons and passers may
light their cigars by it.
Vast quantities of macaroni are
made in the Naples district, largely
for export; the factories are frequent
rather than large. The best macaroni
is made of specially hard yellow
wheat. but latterly American wheat,
colored yellow. has been widely sub
stituted to cheaper the product Our
wheat, however, makes very inferior
article. The conditions in the maca-
roni factories are not appetizing; af-
ter we had gone through factory and
seen the swarthy and often half-naked
handling the macaroni so
Aunt Jerusha vowed she
