Italians In America.

On the authority of the census
Of 1900 there were then in the United
States 1,217,124 persons born in Italy
or of Italian parentage. The Italian
Chamber Of Commerce of New York
city took a census for itself in 1904
and found that the Italians in New
York state numbered 4S6,176. Accord
fng to George c. Speranza there was
in New York city savings banks at
that time $15,OO0,00O of the saved
money of Italian immigrants, and
1000 nf them owned rei; estate worth
$2O,O0O,O0O There were 10000 stores
kept by Italians worth $7OOO,OOO
more, and a wholesale business in
their hands worth $7,500,000. The
property of the Italian colony in New
York city he calculated at $60,0OO,0OO,
and according to a newspaper report
before me this is much below the val
uation of their holdings in st. Louis,
San Francisco, Chicago and Boston.
know, as all know, says Baron Ma
yor des Planches in Appletons Maya
zine, that the only criminality of the
Italian is the crime Of quick anger,
unpremeditated and open, which is in
herent in the blood and breed, but
which is never committed except I'M
der strong provocation. This is NOT
written to prove the Italians a nation
of model men. Our one fault is our
own; we are sons of Adam like the
rest, but our weakness is not of the
crawling, skulking, or conspiring
kind. Bad It is and deplorable it is,
but we hope to overcome it and to
live it down.

Honey bees are generally credited
with instructive skill in making the
cells of the comb hexagonal in shape.
but it is probable that this construc-
tion is merely the ordinary result of
mechanical laws. Solitary bees al
ways make circular cells, and the
bees in a hive no doubt make them
circular also, but mechanical press
ure forces them into a hexagonal
form A wellknown naturalist, in
speaking of the matter, says that all
cylinders made of soft, pliable sub
stances become hexagonal under such
circumstances.

PRESIDENTROOSEVE[7
AND MILITARY AND NAVAL REP
REsENTATIVEs OF 81 NATIONS
PARTICIPATED IN THE OPENING
OF jamestown Tercentennial Exposl
tion-Panic is Averted BY Pres
ident's Goodness.

Norfolk, Va, April 27.-President
Roosevelt, the diplomatic, naval anC
military representative of 81 nations
and the governors of score Of states
participated in the opening exercises
of the jamestown Tercentennial Expo
sition. While the exposition, which is
tG remain open until November 30, is
still far from complete, the unfinished
condition of buildings and grounds
was not allowed to interfere with the
celebration of the three hundreth ami
versary Of the landing of the first Eng
lishmen in America. From the firing
of a sunrise salute of 800 guns by the
United States army, through the pic
turesque parade of the international
feet of war vessels in Hampton Roads,
the ceremonies of dedication, at which
the President spoke, and down to a
late hour, when the chief executive
went aboard the naval yacht Sylph to
spend the night, the day was crowded
with notable incidents.
The ceremonies of dedication were
brief, the features being the addresses
of President Tucker, of the exposition,
and President Roosevelt.
Not the least impressive of the days
events was the action Of the president
III assuming command of the situation
in front of the crowded grand stand
when a panic seized the surgins
throng Pressed against the guard
ropes by thousands of eager persons
in the rear, the life and limb Of those
who had the more favored position
were endangered.
President Roosevelt had Just been
introduced by Harry st. George Tuck.
er, the head of the jamestown Expo
sition Co., when the disorder reached
its height and the civil guards in front
of the grand stand seemed about to be
swept away from their posts. The
president jumped upon the table
which had been placed in the speak
ers' balcony, and, waving his arms,
cried out to the men to cease the
pushing and crowding which was
threatening the lives Of women and
children.
The crowd needed the presidents
warning at first, but when he had set
tied down into his speech the immense
audience became uneasy again, and
those on the outskirts began to press
forward once more in their anxiety to
catch the words which were being
borne away in the clustering wind.
The president WAS interrupted and
mounted officers were called in to take
charge.

In England interest has been
shown of late by the army and navy
authorities in new method of ppe-
serving -four by means of compress.
sion. With hydraulic pressure ap-
paratus the flour is squeezed into the
form of bricks, and experiments are
reported to have shown that the pres
sure destroys all forms of larval life,
thus preserving the flour from the
ravages of insects, while it is equally
secure from mold. Three hundred
pounds of compressed flour occupy
the same space as 100 pounds of -four
in the ordinary state.

TWO KILLED
And Many Shaken Up When Wabash
Train Jumped.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 29.-Two men
were killed and 100 passengers had
a thrilling escape on the Wabash rail-
road when the engine and one passen-
ger coach of West-bound Train No. q
left the tracks near Bridgeville and
plunged into Charters creek, 40 feet
below.
The train was crossing a trestle
over Charters creek, when, without
warning, the engine suddenly leaped
from the rails and shot to the stream
underneath, taking the first coach with
1t. The coach was smashed to Splin-
ters. There were, as it happened no
passengers in the front coach. The
coupling between it and the engine
left the rails.
A new schedule went into effect on
the road, and to this fact many owe
their lives. Under this schedule Train
No. 27 left here 45 minutes earlier,
and over so persons missed the train
for this reason. Boyd and McIsaacs
were crushed to death.

There used to be told a Comical
story about a Judge who occasionally,
when off the bench, yielded to tempta
ton and imbibed too freely for his own
good The tale went on to tell that on
one occasion the worthy man having
dissipated to an extent regarded by
the judge as scandalous, the offender
arraigned himself at the bar, where a
plea of guilty was entered and the jur-
ist imposed an exemplary fine upon
himself. There seems to have been
a similar working of conscience down
in Mississippi, where a grand jury in
dicted every one of its own members
for violating the Sunday law, with the
result that the culprits were arraigned
in court and were fined $40 apiece.
That grand jury certainly furnished
proof of sincerity when it gave up
so readily.

DuPE OF DESIGNING FRIENDS

aIowa Bank.

Des Moines, Ia, April 27.-A start.
ling story of duplicity and manipula-
tion of funds was revealed by State
Auditor B. f. Carroll, when the report
of Bank Examiner Windsor was made
public, in which Cashier Leroy Ware,
of the Farmers and Drovers' Bank Of
Seymour, Ia, was said to be short in
his accounts over $250,000.
Ware. who is but % years old, is
said to be the victim Of unscrupulcus
friends, who used him as d dupe to fur
ther their own ends.
Five prominent citizens of Seymour,
whose names are withheld, worked on
the youth and borrowed the funds of
the bank for speculation, SO the story
goes.
Ware, who collapsed when the ex-
aminer of the affairs of the bank be-
gan, Is a mental and physical wreck,
and will no doubt be taken before a
lunacy commission to decide on his
sanity.

power of discipline.
"In my YOUTH" he said, 'T knew q.
first mate in the merchant service
who, though an excellent officer, was
dreadfully profane. When anything.
went wrong he would volley forth
oaths and curses in a shocking w9y.
Once, though he shipped with a very

one of the mates swearing bouts he
gave the young man a good dressing
down. You are first-rate officer he,

well, the mate bore the captains
warning in mind. Then one afternoon
1t happened that the boatswain made
an inexcusable error in carrying out
an order. When the boatsWain con-
fessed the fault he had committed
the mate turned red with rage. He.
opened his mouth. Everybody looked
at him expectantly. waiting to hear
some remarkable oaths, but just then
the captain hove in sight The mate,
seeing the captain, remembered his
orders about profanity. But his rage,
had to have a vent of some sort and,
striding up close to the culprit, he
roared in the mans face, You naugh-

MEXICAN AND U. S. LEGATIONS
STONED BY A MOB OF SEVERAL
HUNDRED MEN.
Mexican Troops Are Being Moblizeo
On the Guatemala Frontier, Which
is Highly Significant.

Mexico City, April 29.-The most ex.
treme indignation and wild excitement
have been caused here by the report
that the American and Mexican lega'
tion at Guatemala City were stoned
by a mob OF several hundred men,
instigated TO the act by agents of Pres
ident Manuel Estrada Cabrera, OF
Guatemala.
There is evident a strong inclina-
tion to give credence to the report and
no official denial has been made,
though the federal authorities refuse
to confirm it.
Mexican trops are being modified
ON the Guatemala frontier, which is
believed to be highly significant,
though the war department stated that
the mobilization of troops is nothing
more than a move to insure strict neu-
trality and to protect Mexican inter
ests against any remote danger from
irresponsible, marauding bands.
The mobilized force in the south will
he under the command of Brig. Gen.
Antonio R. Flores, directly assigned to
the duty by the war department. He
will be aided by Captain of Engineers
Salas, who have already left here for
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
Reports are also current here that
Minister Gamboa, representing Mexico
in Guatemala, has left that country
and crossed into Mexican territory, as
the result of the friction with Cabera's
government growing out of kilograms
sent from this country to Guatemala
relative to the assassination of Gen.
Manuel Barillas.
Passports are said to be in prepera-
tion for Minister Manuel Giron, Guate,
mala's representative in this country,
for his return to his own country.

Breath is made of air. We breathe

breath we would die when we slept.
Our breath keeps the life a-going
