PALAzzOL0 SPEAKS
TO PICKED CROWD
UNDESlRABLES NOT ALLOWED
TO ATTEND MEETiNG-URGEs
LOVE FOR HOME LAND.

Rarely has an audience been more
carefully selected than that which as
sembled to hear the address of Signor
Raffaello Palazzolo In the Light In
fantry armory. Sunday afternoon.
About 700 persons from Detroits Ital-
ian colony of many thousands were
there and. Of these, few were found
to be unsatisfactory and were ordered
from the hall.
Those who remained were treated
to an hour Of genuine oratory. In
command Of voice and gesture, Signor
Palazzolo is an artist. and he swayed
the Sicilians present as a wind sways
the trees. Every climax of his speech
was greeted with cheers and hand
clapping that shook the rafters.
Love Of the home land was the prin-
cipal theme OF his grafton. He con-
trasted the sunny fields of Italy to the
! colder American shores and urged
those who are not prosperous here to
return to their native places, where
many fertile fields lack tillers. The
policy of army and navy expansion
pursued by Italy was defended, and
he held up picture of happy and
prosperous country welcoming her
sons who had ventured aboard to find
greater gains.
With regard to the charges made
against him by other Italians, Palaz-
colo declared that he is not leader OF
any secret society. He said that the
men who have attacked him should
be disowned by their countrymen. He
made an appeal to the Sicilians to
live good lives and declared that the
race should not be held responsible
for the doings Of few bad men. At
the close Of his speech. he read poem
in regard to the Sicilian vespers. the
massacre by which the Sicilians rid
their island of the French invaders
centuries ago.
An opposition meeting billed for
italian Workers hall failed to ma
terialize, only few men gathering to
adopt resolutions antagonistic to Pa
lazzolo. President Franchi and Secre-
tary Luciani. of the Italia Workers
union, were among those ordered from
the armory before the Palazzolo
speech

and the store now occupied by the
Kuhn confectionery establishment at
No. 203 Woodward-ave., made part
OF the big store. Mr.. Hickey has leas-
ed the building which he now occu-
pies for 10 years and also the store
adjoining for similar term. This
will give him a 40-foot building, four
stories high and a basement.
Both buildings will be completely
remodeled in the most approved fash
ion and will constitute one Of the
most attractive establishments OF the
kind In the northwest. Mr.. Hickey will
not take possession OF the Kuhn store
until next spring, when the remodel
ing process will begin.
The success attained by Mr.. Hickey
In the present location Is extraordin-
airy. He opened the store at 201
Woodward something over seven years
ago and the business has increased
TO such an extent that 1t became evil
dent some time ago that more room
was necessary. Every available inch
OF the present store was being utiliz-
ed and still that proved insufficient. As
the firm was well established In the
present location, II was deemed mad
visable to move, so when the cppor-
tunity presented itself, the building
adjoining was leased.
There will be no new departments
added, the idea simply being to take
care OF the present line OF trade.
The splendid progress made by
Mr.. Hickey since he started In this
store Is due, without doubt, to his
strict integrity and close attention to
hucinpss Customers are treated In
courteous and businesslike manner
and in this way a splendid trade has
been established and Is constantly In
creasing. The store is located In the
very center OF the shopping district.
and when the contemplated change Is
made, the Hickey establishment Will
be one OF the largest and most up-to-
date on Woodward-ave.

ARNOLD PARK.
So named in Honor of Citizen of schuy-
Ter, Nebraska.

So named in Honor of Citizen of schuy-
Ter, Nebraska.
A postal card from Hon. John E. Ar
mold of Schuyler Neb., who, accom-
panied by his wife, visited Maine in
August, announces their arrival home
last Saturday, happily ending a most
enjoyable visit. On the return trip
they made stop in Illinois and took a
sail by the big steamship Christopher
Columbus on Lake Michigan. Mr..
Arnod's health, which had become
somewhat impaired by hard and long
continued labor, has been much i'm
proved by the trip, and he has resumed
his duties as treasurer of the Schuyler
savings bank with renewed strength
and vigor. During his absence the
city council of Schuyler paid him a
pleasing compliment in naming the
new city park, recently opened
there, Arnold park, in his honor.
During the three years that he was
mayor of the city, he inaugurated the
movement for establishing the park,
making the plans, securing the needed
action by the city, and raising by popu-
lar subscription the money needed to
purchase additional land, the city al
ready owning part; he also subscribed
literally himself. Schuyler Free Lance,
from which we gather this informa-
ton, says: ''The block was at once
cleared, planted to grass, fenced, trees
put in, gravel walks laid, fountain
purchased and put in, flower beds made
and filled, the band stand moved over
there and fine park made of it. Elk
Mayor Arnold was the leading spirit in
all this and while many citizens de-
serve credit he is we'll entitled to the
honor of having the park named for
him. That park is credit to the city
and has added much to that part of the
city, which was the worst part in APP
pearance ''-Rockland OniniOn
