A CAMBRIA TO HELP CARUSO
Relatives In Sicily Offer to Come Over
and Be Singers Bodyuuard.

and Be Singers Bodyguard.
SignOr Caruso. the famous Italian
singer, came down the other day to the
Metropolitan Opera House with let
ter from Sicily Offering to bring to his
aid In New York an entire Black Hand
band to protect him from the machina
tons Of his enemies in the United
States. says the New York Sun The
writer was an uncle who lives near
Palermo.
His offer to import a specially organ
lied camorra, which should consist
chiefly OF the relatives of the singer.
was the result of an advertisement
that appeared last summer in an ltal-
Ian newspaper published in New York.
This was written In the form of an an
nouncement that the tenor was deter
mined to leave the Metropolitan Opera
House, as he was pOwerless to resist
the efforts of the clique working
against him there
AS an evidence Of its malevolence IT
recited that Signor Caruso, being sud
denly faint in his dressing room at the
Metropolitan, had called for a popular
Italian remedy which he was accus-
toned to take. Instead Of this he re-
ceived another medicine, which made
him so much worse that he could
scarcely get through the performance
The article ended by saying that ST.
gnor Caruso. as we'll as everybody with
the price, could get the medicine he de-
sired at certain Italian drug store.
This newspaper drifted back to Italy
and came under the eye of one of the
very large number Of the singers rela-
tives. They don't print advertisements
OF that kind in Sicily, but they do I'M
derstand what a clique is, so the uncle
called a meeting of all the members of
the family residing In the hills OF
Sicily. They decided unanimously to
come over and fight for the tenor
whenever It was necessary.
The letter which Signor Caruso
showed to his friends contained a
promise to bring over as many of the
Sicilian relatives as the tenor thought
would be necessary to protect him
against his enemies. They are pre-
pared to start as soon as the word ar
rives. SignOr Caruso says he does not
need them just yet.

TO SAVE LA BAHIA MISSION.

Historic Texas Buildinu,

Movement on Foot For State to Buy
Historic Texas Building.
The ancient La Bahia mission build
ing, situated near Goiad, Tex, Is 10
be rehabllitated and preserved il the
movement succeeds which has been
started among patriotic Texans with
those purposes In view. says the Kan
sas City Star. In this ancient build
ing on May I, 1899. 300 men under
command OF Colonel fannin were
massacred by 4 large force OF Next
cans at Santa Annals orders. The
walls OF the church We're stained with
the blood Of the men who were strlv-
ing to gain their country's liberty from
Mexico. The news OF this massacre
aroused the Texans and gave them the
frenzied courage which soon after
ward resulted in the overwhelming de
feat of Santa Annals army and cap
ture OF the Mexican commander. whose
life was saved only through the timely
interference OF General Sam Houston.
In all the years that have passed
since that massacre, during the period
that Texas was Il republic and since
she became q state, the historic edf-
fee has remained uncared for except
for such little attention MS was shown
1t by the few poor but devout Mexican
worshipers who gathered ut its altar
on Sundays and the various saints
days.
The movement now on foot seeks to
have the state purchase La Bahia mis-
sion from those who claim title TO il
and to permit 1t to be cared for by the
Daughters of the Texas Republic as
the historic Alamo building now is.
Owing to its remote location compare
lively few people visit La Bahia mis-
sion. Those who enter the building
first must pay fee to the Mexican
who is in charge Of the place. The In
terror Of the mission editice is much
the same as 1t was when the massacre
left the walls despatched with blood
more than seventy years ago.
