Brothers spent Their All.

Mourned by hundreds of her coun-
try people, who thronged the streets
to view one of the most elaborate
funeral pageants ever witnessed in
Little Italy, sixteen year old Florence
Tursi was yesterday buried from her
home at I'll South Twelfth street.
To defray the funeral expenses of
the young girl and TO bury her with
all the pomp and ceremony appro-
pirate to the occasion, according to
the custom of Italians in their ma
tive land, three brothers, all younger
than she, willingly spent every cent
a sum of little more than $500
Aey had saved day by day for the
last five years by washing windows
and blacking shoes.
Their sacrifice, which renders them
practically penniless, crowned a life
of self-sacrifice led by their sister
First she had toiled in Italy, work
ing twelve hours a day in a maca-
roni factory, to bring her mother to
America to join her three sons. Then

expenses of the family of five be-
came too great for the three young
brothers, the daughter, although
knowing she had been stricken with
consumption, which threatened to re-
suit fatally, went to hat factory
for employment.
There in daily toll, which fostered
the progress of the disease from
which she was suffering, she spent
a year and a half. She died on last
Monday afternoon.
1t was to express in some way
their recognition of this devotion that
the funeral yesterday was planned on
such a scale. For the coffin $500
alone was spent A brass band with
twenty members played solemn mu-
sic. Eleven girls of the same age
as Florence marched at the head of
the hearse, carrying garlands of flow
ers, with streamers of white flowers
thrown over their shoulders. All the
mourners wore knots Of black and
white silk festoons.
The three brothers are Jospeh, An
thony and Emanuel. The first two
are window cleaners, and work for
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany The last of the trio is a boot
black. Grief stricken when their sis
ter died died on Monday, they coun-
seled that evening.
I have saved $500 in two years, .
said the eldest, Anthony. Shall We
not give our brave little sister fun
eral that befiits her self-sacrifice?
Yes, responded the other two.
When the procession moved from
the Twelfth street house TO the
Church of Our Lady OF Good Coun-
sci, the street for half a square each
way was blocked by Italians, their
wives, daughters and sons Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

FINE ATTRACTIONS
FOR NEXT SEASON
MANAGER JAMES NEWBY, JR.,
HAS BOOK ED SOME SWELL
SHOWS FOR THE coll
UMBUS THEATER.
Season Opens September 4th With
son the Bridge at Midnight"
asParSifaF' is Prominent
Among the Bookings.

The coming theatrical season prom
fses much for Southern amusement
lovers, as business in the North is
never good during a presidential cam
paign, and practically all the best
companies come South during the
early fall. Manager James Newby,
Jr., of the Columbus Theater, has,
through Klaw & Erlanger, the New
York representatives of the house,
secured some of the best attractions
on the road, and Columbians will
have the pleasure of seeing some
swell shows next season.
Foremost among the bookings is
the great Wagnerian opera, "Parsi-
fal," which will be produced here
in all its pristine splendor. Par
sifaI' has been greeted with greater
enthusiasm than was accorded any
dramatic offering since Ben Hur, !"
and is now in the zenith of its fame.
The coming of "ParsifaI" will be the
musical event of the season, and
many people from surrounding towns
will doubtless come here to witness
its presentation. Another notable
booking is ..The Great Divide" This
is the play which was received with
such great favor when produced in
New York a few years since with
Henry Miller and Margaret Anglin
in the leading roles. The company
which is to present the play here is
nd
this is a guarantee that the produc
tion will be first class in every
respect.
The season will begin rather early,
the house throwing open its doors
on Friday night, September 4th, with
''On the Bridge at Midnight" as the
initial offering. This is an unusually
strong melodrama, and its merit is
attested by the fact that it has been
on the road several years, having
grown in public favor from season
to season. The King Dramatic Com
pany follows "On the Bridge at Mid
night" and the Mcdonald Stock Com
pany will occupy the boards during
fair week.
Negotiations with several big pro-
ductions are now pending, and Man
ager Newly will keep continually on
the lookout for good things, as it is
his intention to do everything possi-
bic to make the coming season the
most successful in the history Of the
house. The following attractions are
already booked to appear here dur
ing the coming season:
con the Bridge at Midnight
'sThorns and Orange Blossoms.
The King Dramatic Company.
The Mcdonald Stock Company.
"The Three of U.s."
William and Joseph Jefferson in

The frost of the last few days has been hailed with delight by the cattle. men of this vicinity, and especially south of the Mexican line, as frost is the only natural enemy of the Texas fever tick, the presence of which in Mexican herds has resulted in quar- antine being placed by the United States on Sonora cattle, which extends almost the entire line of the interna- tional line in Arizona. It is extremely doubtful, however, that the quarantine will be raised soon.

ATWOOD MAY Be
MADE CHAIRMAN
Strong Sentiment in Favor
Of Placing Party Reins
In His Hands.
Is A FRIEND OF BRYAN.
is AN ORATOR OF NOTE AND HAS
HAD EXPERIENCE IN DIRECT
ING DEMOCRATIC AFFAIRS S.
MANY FAVOR HIM.

Denver, Colo, July "a strongly
supported movement having the back
ing of a number of the most intimate
personal friends of w. ]. Bryan, in
tional committee. was launched in
Denver in the interest of John H. At
wood, of Leavenworth, kas., a member
of the Democratic national commit
tee from that state, for the chairman
ship of the new national committee.
1t is stated upon good authority that
the selection of Mr.. Atwood would be
gratifying to Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Atwood is one of the best known
attorneys in the middle west and his
work in connection with the prosecu-
ton of many important cases against
the railroads before the Interstate
commerce commission, has attracted
national attention. He has been in Mr..
Bryans confidence for years and at
the request of the Nebraskan will
make one of the principal seconding
speeches of the latters nomination.
He has a considerable reputation as
an orator.
Mr.. Atwood has had wide experience
in directing Democratic political af-
fairs, and is credited with having to
do more than any other man with the
victory of Bryan in Kansas in 1896,
when the latter swept the state by H.
600 majority.
Henry S. Cummings member of the
national committee from Connecticut
is one of the members of the commit
tee who expressed themselves strongly
in favor of the election OF Mr.. At
wood to manage the coming campaign
for Mr.. Bryan.

EIGHT RESCUED BY
HERO IN SMALL BOAT
Two Women Among the Res.
Cued.

Watertown, n. Y, July 9.-The two
masted schooner Acacia, owned and
captained by William Simmons, Of
Kingston, went ashore on Bull Rock
Point, near Sacketts Harbor, and late
yesterday afternoon the crew was res
cued by S. Gibble of Sacketts Har-
Dor, who. after a struggle of several
hours in small boat, managed to
reach the stranded craft. The eight
persons on board included two women.
The Acacia was of $50 tons burden
and left Oswego late last night for
Kingston. Ont, with a cargo of coal.
Capt, Simmons said that the storm
was the worst he had ever experience
ed in the forty years that he has
sailed the lakes.
When the Acacia grounded those on
board never expected to reach land
and spent the night in prayer. The
boat with its cargo will probably be a
total loss

The Changing Tides.

The most approved theory among sci
entists as to the cause Of the rise and
fall of the tide is that the moon is the
dominating cause through its differen-
tial attraction upon the opposite sides
of the earth, drawing the nearer water
away from the earth under the moon
for the production of high water large
away from the opposite waters for the
production Of high water small The
smaller tidal effect of the suns at
traction becomes noticeable mainly as
modifying the lunar tide, increasing it
in the spring tides and decreasing it at
heaps and further modifying it in the
printing and tagging Of the tides.

A FAMOUS MONSTER.
An Old Time Wonder That Had an
Eye In Its knee.

In the writings of both Licetus and
Zahn may be found descriptions and
illustrations of a monster born at Ra-
VIENNA, ITALY, in the year 1911 or 1912,
the exact date being somewhat uncer-
tain. This monster had body and
shoulders like those Of a young woman.
There was but one leg, gradually TIA
pering from the hips down and termi-
mating in an immense scaled claw, like
that Of a turkey buzZard. There were
four toes, each tipped with a bony nail,
three Of them pointing to the left and
one to the right. The creature had
held them in an erect position, as
though ready to take fight at the
slightest provocation. From the hips
to the single knee the flesh was COW
cred with large, well arranged feath-
ers. From the knee joint to the foot
the leg was scaled. like that Of the COM
mon barnyard fowl, the spot where the
feathers left off and the scales COM
menced being marked with large lid
less eye. which seemed to be altogether
incapable Of voluntary motion. The
neck, head and general outlines of the
face were those Of a woman, but the
ears were large and set very low, al
most on the neck.
The head was covered with a queer
mixture Of scales, feathers and hair,
but the oddly of the whole upper
story" was a pointed horn, which rose
just in the edge of the hair on the CEN
ter Of the forehead. This horn was
three inches in length, and, according
to Zahn, "even a farmer would have
mistaken it for the horn of two-year-
old heifer had 1t been removed and
shown to him.
The old time wonder mongers all give
pictures and descriptions of this horn
ed italian monster" but none tells how
long it lived or what was done with
the body after death.
