CAUGHT AT SCRANTON
Man Wanted iu Waterbury For | \ Murder.

Demetrio Maesano, the Italian who murdered Giuseppe Vazzani in this city last October, was captured to-day in Scranton, Pa. The local depart ment received word to that effect this noon and Detective Thomas Colesanto was sent this afternoon to bring the prisoner to Waterbury. It is said that Maesanto has confessed.
 It was on Thursday evening, Oc- tOber 2S, that MaesanO pressed d re- volver to the breast of VazZani, with whom he boarded on Mill street, and sent bullet through his body. The injured man was taken to the Water bury hospital, where he died week later Meanwhile, Maesano, who is said to have done the deed because Eazzani was not friendly with the Black Hand, fled, and has been at liberty since. The detective depart ment intimated to-day that they have had line on the accused since the day of the murder. but have never been able to get their hands on him. They traced him to New York, where he remained a few days, but at length he turned up in Scranton, where he has been for some time. The local department claims they located him in the Pennsylvania city, and it was only necessary for the Scranton officials to make the arrest. Up to the time of the murder Maesano and Vazzani were the best of friends.

Arabian Hypocrisy.

Writes a traveller: ''The noblest and the basest Arabs are agreed that to obtain as quickly as possible all the available cash they can lay their hands on is by no means degrading. But even here subtle dialectic comes into play. The Arab must always have right on his side, for in studied and complex hypocrisy he has nothing to learn from us. If an Arab would rob his guest-I am speaking from per. sonal experience-he will first talk at length on the subject of honor, hospi. tality, and so forth. He will gradually work the matter round as to why you are travelling, throw out suggestions that spies, enemies and intruders can not claim hospitality, suggest that he himself is poor, question himself as to whether he ought not to detain you as a prisoner, again state that he is in want, and thus shift from blackmail to cajolery and from gentle requests to threats, until he has extorted a sum of money which in his curious brain he might describe as the least he could accept with honor or the most he could extract without danger to himself"

The Spanish Galleon.

Primarily the galleon was but a peaceful merchant ship, but by the irony of fate she became, almost from her inception, a center of the 6ercest fighting. Square rigged and high of stem and stern, broad of bow and low of waist. with massive bulwarks and forecastle. and poop three and four decks high, she possessed picturesque appearance, but little of sensible naval architecture. The stem was clumsy. broad and blunt and smashed heavily through the waves to the great detri. ment of speed This and the towering stern presented such a surface to the wind that the difficulties of steering were quite formidable. and six or eight men at the wheel were not unusual. The method in this apparent madness of marine construction was the land lubber's instinct, still strong in men of the sea of those days, to reduce all naval maenuvers to the stand up and knock down tactics of the land fight on a common platfOrm.-John C. Fitzpat- rick in Scribner's.

BURNS PROVED FATAL
BerBice Sullivan Received Them
 Lighting Christmas Tree.

Although the fire at the home of MT and Mrs Daniel Sullivan of S9 Cossett street yesterday afternoon did very little damage to the house, it burned their 10 year old daughter Bernice so badly that she died early this morning. While the child's mother was away Bernice tried to amuse her younger sister, Mary, who is ill, by lighting the candles on the Christmas tree. While trying to light candle on top of the tree the girls dress was ignited by a. candle already burning and in a moment her apparel was in a blaze. The child rushed from the house and her cries attracted some of the neigh bors, who rushed to her assistance. Mrs Peter Carey, who lives nearby, Joseph Hallas, who was in the vicin- ity, and Dr Grady, who happened to be passing at the time, tore the cloth ing from the child. She was then carried to the home of Mrs Carey, where it was seen she was burned from her neck to her feet. Mrs Carey's hands were also badly burned. The fire did very little dam age to the room, as Joseph Courtney, an eX-fireman, ran into the house, threw out the burning tree and quenched the flames before they had a chance to spread much, the dam age being less than $50. When the department arrived there was noth- ing for them to do.
 There was very little hope of the child's recovery after the full extent of her injuries became known, but she fingered until this morning. The girl had wealth of beautiful hair, which was enveloped in flames, mak- ing the sight terrific to those who witnessed her rush down the street. Medical Examiner Crane viewed the body and gave permission for burial. The funeral will be held at 3:3O o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

FAMINE IS SEVERE.
Late Advices Tell of the Suffering in
 Eastern Turkey.

Boston, Dec 2S.-Additional ad- vices from eastern Turkey and Ar menia. received to-day by the Ameri- can board of commissioners for for eign missions, indicate that the fam inc already reported, is more severe than was first anticipated, and the tide of emigration to this country was never so strong as at present.
 Secretary Harry Wade Hicks writes from Harpoot that upon returning to that city recently he met hundreds of Arabs and Armenians going in the di- rection of Samson. and eventually to America. All these persons were young or midle aged, able bodied men. rep resenting the strongest element of the population in that country, and sufficiently we'll off to make the neces- sary gift" to leave Turkey and pay their passage to America. It is es- timated that 1.200 families have left the vicinity of Harpoot since last April. and the tide of emigration is continually rising.

THE SHERMAN ACT.
Railways and Shipping Interests Are
 Working For Its Repeal.

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-The railways
 and powerful shipping interests are apparently uniting in an effort to ob- tain a repeal of the Sherman anti
 trust act in so far at least as it ap- plies to traffic associations. This fact is made apparent in symposium published in the current issue of the
 Railway Age and participated in by railway presidents, governors, rail- road commissioners and representa- tives of large shipping interests. Nearly every problem that is troubling the railroads and the ship
 pers is touched upon, such as the ef- fleets of the Hepburn act, the ques- tion of additional legislation, the problem of states versus federal con- trol, the effect of recent agitation upon the earning capacity of the rail- roads, the desirability of uniform classification and the substitution of steam by electricity as motive pow CT for roads. The shippers and rail way men seem to agree that the Hep burn act has brought some great benefits, the chief of which is the abolition of rebates, but that it is too soon to make a correct deduction of the effect of the act taken as a whole. All deplore the conflict of state and national legislation and also agreethatthe railroads interests and the shippers are rapidly getting clos CT together and are now realizing that their interests are closely inter- woven.

WILL BE A LIEUTENANT.
Seerv J. Hayes Will Graduate From
 West Point in February.

Seery J. Hayes will graduate from West Point early in February, and af- ter a few months furlough, will be assigned to regiment of Uncle Sam s army either in the Philippines or Cuba, most likely the latter MT Hayes would have been four years at West Point had he remained there until the usual time for graduation, which would be next June, but owing to the lack of men in the army the war department in Washington deem- ed it advisable to graduate all mill tary students in government schools as early as possible in order to send them on colonial service Such a course as this has never occurred be- fore at the military academy. though it has happened few times in the government naval school at Annapo- lis. Mr Hayes enters upon his career in the army as second lieutenant, fully equipped for the service and with the best wishes of all who know him.

LIKES QUENTIN ROOSEVELT.
sPm Very Fond of Him, but He Is Not the Only One," Says Miss Colvin.


 Washington, Dec. 2S.- Little Misf Grace COlvin. daughter of letter car rier, awoke to find all Washington talk ing of her as the little girl who had won Quentin Roosevelt, youngest son of the president, away from his toys and his boy friends, and she was tho most popular girl at the Christmas en. tertainment given by her Sunday school.
 "Quentin is one of my friends" Misi Colvin said, ''and I am very fond of him. But he is not the only one Yes, I received Christmas gift from him, but he is very thoughtful little boy, and I guess he wanted me td know that he had not forgotten me al Christmas. We have gone to the sama school for two years and everybody over there likes Quentin. He is nics to everybody, and you would never think of him as the presidents son, but only as fine playmate and a good hearted little boy. He is full of fun and knows how to do so many things that other boys don't. He has been coming around to play with me after school for a long time, and we have had lots of fun.'
 Neither Grace nor her parents could be induced to say what the Christmas gift was that Quentin sent to the Col win home. The little girl received more than thirty remembrances all told.

VICTORY FOR RENT STRIKERS

Newark, N.

 Absolutely no progress has bee4 made in establishing her identity, and there are no clews to her slayer. Tho woman's red suit, which the police have found near the spot where tho body was discovered, bore the trade mark of Brooklyn store, and thert are other circumstances which leat some people to believe the tragedI may have Brooklyn end.

Injunction Suit of Ed. Royey Against
City Still Pending

The hearing of the injunction
suit instituted against the city
by Edward Hovey, which was to
have taken place before Judge
CoWan last Monday was contin-
ued until tomorrow-S Saturday.
It will be remembered that about
ten days ago Hovey got out an
injunction suit restraining the
city from executing it's threat of
removing his blacksmith shop
from its present location back to
its former one, on the grounds
that it was removed from one
place within the fire limits to an
other one without permission
from the council to do So. AS
the hour was late Monday after
noon when the Judge finally got
around to the injunction proceed
ings, he decided to postpone the
hearing until Saturday.
