DUG UP DEAD SWEETHEART
sNeapolitan Lovers Gruesome Method
4 of Consolation.

Naples, Oct. 31.-A particularly
gruesome story has come to light in
this city. Eliza Scalisi, q beautiful
young woman, was engaged: to be
married to a young man fnamed Ales-
, sandro, but she died few days be-
fore the date set for the ceremony
and was buried in local cemetery.
Alcssandro was heartbroken over
his bereavement, and one night he
dug up the body and carried it to his
lodging. He embalmed the corpse of
tho young woman, dressed it in its
bridal clothes, and kept it in his
rooms for a fortnight. Neiyhbors
finally grew curious from the fact
that the young man never went
abroad, and peeping one day Through
his shlttered windows they saw
Alassendro seated alongside the dead
body Of the woman who was to have
been. his wife affectionately holding
her hand.
The police were informed and Ales-
sandro was arrested. The body has
been buried second time.

The International Lyceum Associa,


In commenting on the last conven-
ton Of the International Lyceum AS
sociation which met at Joliet, Illinois,
during early September, Paul M.
Pearson says in The Lyceumite and
Talent, the official organ of the AS
sociation:
The spirit Of the Joliet Convention
was voiced by DR.. II. w. Sears, when
on the floor during a stormy business
session he said, "We are brethren.' -
At the moment it did not appear that
we were, but every man of expert
encc knew that the admonition of
DR.. Sears was not only calculated to
quiet the storm, but that it. was the
expression Of the general feeling of
the meeting, which had been evidence
ed in many ways, and which was to
be demonstrated farther in the very
dispute which to superficial observers
looked as though it might disrupt tho
organization. Organizations Of busi-
ness men, and even the fraternal So
cieties, to say nothing Of patriotic
society like the Daughters Of the
American Revolution, do not always
have meetings Of such harmony that
the members appear to be brethren.
Measured by these organizations the
T. l.. A., an association of people with
the provcrbial artistic temperament,
has accomplished great things when
it. has demonstrated that they are
brethren. What Leigh Hunt said Of
actors may truthfully be said Of plat
form people, CA successful actor
would be phenomenon Of modesty
if he were not one Of the vaincst Of
men. No one gets SO much applause
as he does and in such an Intoxicating

If your town is shy on boosters,
You get il the lboostin' biz.

And the world seems kinder wrong,

PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
Alexandria County Citizens Rails.
Money for Sidewalks.

Money was raised last night by Fort
Myer Heights and Colonial Heights citizens
to commence the building and repair Of
sidewalks in those Virginia suburbs of
Washington. A special meeting of the Fort
Myer Heights Improvement Association
called for the purpose was held at the
home of c. B. Wadleigh, and subscrip-
ton paper was started to which every one
present put his name. Enough money was
paid in to meet the first payment on the
material necessary for the proposed walks.
Mr.. Wadeigh presided. Others present
were H. w. McGeorge, c. E. Lewis, I. N.
Rich of the Post Office Department, G. B.
NJ Kicker of the Washington street repair
service. VIM. A. e. McShea, H. P. Brown.
Robert King and c.. H. Greenhouse. A
treasurer, Mr.. Greathouse, was instructed
to make deposit of the association funds
in the Arlington National Bank
committee consisting of Messrs. Kicker
and McShea was directed to proceed at once
to have the material put the ground
for the sidewalk from the Baptist chapel
to the continuation Of Alexandria avenue
in the Washington View subdivision and
thence along Alexandria avenue and across
the county road into Colonial Heights to
connect with the walk recently laid by the
Colonial Heights syndicate.
Another committee. Messrs. McGeorge
and Brown, was instructed to bring before
the county supervisors at their meeting the
first Saturday in February the need of i'm
mediate work on the Ballston turnpike to
prevent a rapid deterioration which has be-
gun to show itself in a number of holes in
the stone surface.
The question of schools was brought up
on a report that one Of the Arlington trus-
tees had resigned, and steps were taken
to secure the appointment to the board
of a representative of the Heights If the
report shall be confirmed.
Considerable comment was occasioned by
a reference to the bill recently allowed by
the county supervisors to Augustus Davis
for the building of a scaffold for the execu-
ton of the negro Joseph Thomas, alias
Wright, whose case will be argued at Rich
mond tomorrow before the court of ap-
peals. 1t was declared that the bill allowed
Is about double what similar expenses have
been in other Virginia counties. but 1t was
brought out that the supervisors had cut
Mr. Davis bill from 1896 to $50.
This association is the organization, 1t is
stated, which was chiefly active a few
years ago in driving saloons and gambling
from Rosslyn and the military road, and
it's renewed activity. it is claimed, promises
| much for the betterment of conditions on
the Virginia Heights at the Alexandria
county courthouse.

CAUGHT AFTER 81 YEARS.
Aged Farmer Arrested for Killing a
Man in Nebraska

SUFFOLK. Va, January S.-Accused of
committing murder thirty-one years ago
near Stanton. Neb. Charles W. Wells alias
Yankee Allen, yesterday was arrested in
Nansemond county. and was lodged in Jail
here. pending word from the Nebraska au-
thorities.
Wells was interviewed in his cell yester-
day afternoon. and made full confession
of the killing. which he says was done in
self-defense. Now and then tears would
course over his furrowed cheeks and trickle
down the long white beard of the old man
quent experiences.
Wells will be seventy-two years old in
March. His wife. who is sixty-four years
of age and native of Switzerland. was in
the cell with her husband and she sug-
gested some details which had been for
gotten by the aged prisoner.
The victim was Thomas Schuter. A COW
which he had bought from Wells was the
origin Of the trouble. Failing to collect the
price Wells went to get the cow. Schuter
after some words, snapped his gun at Wells
but it missed fire. Then Wells shot Schuter
dead. Owing to the feeling against Wells
by the foreign element in the then frontier
town Wells fed. His attorney advised him
to leave.
Wells says he walked and ran about sew
enty-five miles to Sioux City. Ia, In single
day and night. Later he went to Manitoba
and thence to Oswego N. Y, in which city
he lived several years. He moved to Vir-
ginia twenty-seven years ago, and since
that time has resided in Nansemond county
near Box Elder. where he has farmed and
acquired competence. Wells says that q
relative who wants his money wrote to the
Nebraska authorities concerning his where

Middle-Aged Man Emancipated From

valuable of all things to us, and the only
thing that is allotted TO all men without
regard to worth or capacity, in absolutely
equal and inalienable shares.
And so now. If I get from a friend a
letter without all the is and is duly dotted

that he values time and trusts me not to
be offended that he writes to me In his

ly for us, however. we never realize how
little of it we now have left else we should
worry over that; and so, as We grow older
IL blessed with good health-we find more
and more joy In existence.
so it is in my growing years and keener
knowledge of the value of time that | find
one reason for my dropping my dots and

that the controlling reason for this lies In
our common later life tendency to make less

In youth, with our narrower vision, all
details are important to US. and they may
seem all important; their punctlious OBJ

perhaps to wonder over the time we wasted

power likely to come to only as the re-
ity to get along without worrying. over

And so I am inclined to think that 1t Is
not so much the saving OF time thereby
as 1t is this later life emancipation from

brief time today, Mr.. Tillman arose and,
explaining that he had not been present be-
fore the holidays when Mr.. Foraker made
his first speech, said he would like to hear
from the senator just why it was that the
Goth Ohio had been picked up
What was the matter? What Is the mo-
tive? What is the anfmus?
Mr. President" responded Mr.. Foraker
II am not obliged to tell the senator every
thing 1 know, and I know the senator
knows why" There was burst of laugh
ter at this reply.
ut is not a mere play on words" per
sisted Mr. Tillman. THE senator owes 1t
to the country to let it know why this is
so.''
ut is such a delightful experience to keep
something back that I think I shall disap-
point the senator" Mr.. Foraker replied.
Mr. Tillman made one more appeal for in
formation and asked If Mr.. Foraker was
ker explained that it had been enormously
stated that he was, but that in reality the
S9th Ohio was the only regiment to which
he had ever belonged.
perhaps somebody at the War Depart
ment may have thought the senator got into
the regiment" persisted Mr.. Tillman.
II don't know that the War Depart
ment thought of that was the answer,
War Department or some other place re-
membered that the senator from Ohio lived
in Ohio"
No effort was made to get action on the
resolution as Mr.. Foraker said he should
continue today.
No Agreement in Sight.
At the close of the days debate in the
Senate it was agreed by Senate leaders
that a settlement of the controversy be-
tween Senators Foraker and Lodge on the
discharge of the negro troops Of the 18th
Infantry was not in sight Prior to the
speech by Mr.. Lodge it had been tia in
ten ton Of Mr. Foraker to offer Substi-
tute for his own resolution and in this
substitute ask the committee on military
affairs to conduct an investigation into all
of the matters pertaining to the ARRAY at
Brownsville, Texas. The term 'all of the
Matters 1t Is said, would have permitted
an inquiry into the constitutional question
for the decision of the committee. Senators
who sought to end the controversy between
Mr. Foraker and supporters of the Presi-
dents action assumed that the military
affairs committee would have considered
that the constitutional and legal questions
involved were for the deliberations of the
judiciary committee.
Mr.. Foraker said that he cared little for
the phraseology. but he did object to Mr..
Lodges Interpretation of the substitute
prepared by Mr.. Knox and offered by the
Massachusetts senator. This caused him
to oppose the Lodge substitute.
