able demonstration in tribute to the
memory of Arthur S. Cheney, the
American Consul, and Mrs Cheney
who were killed in the earthquake at
Messina, was made by the Italian So
cieties of this city today. The bodies
reached New York today on board
the steamer Venesia, and escorted by
several thousand members of Italian
societies, were conveyed up Broadway
to the Grand Central Station in the
presence of a great multitude of per
sons who thronged the sidewalks.
A notable feature of the procession
was the fact that except for the police
escort and the relatives of Mr.. and
Mrs. Cheney, it was composed exclu-
sively of Italians. Aside from the
presence Of a representative of the
Collector of the port, the Government
was unrepresented in the official re-
ception.
The procession was headed by
Frank De Caro- as Grand Marshal, who
was followed Immediately by Count
Massiglia, the Italian Consul General, |
and other officials of the Italian Con-
5ulate. Italian societies followed a |
ong line, each society carrying
wreath to be placed on the caskets /
when they were placed on the train.
The hearses containing the caskets,
lraped with American flags, carriages
illed with relatives of Mr.. and Mrs.
cheney, followed the Italian organiza-
ions.
The bodies were placed on a train
or shipment to New Haven, Conn,
he home of Mr.. Cheney.

the entry of a mistrial in the case OF
Ed Marshall, the alleged night rider

announcement was made by the prose
cutting attorneys that they will en-
deavor to have the hearing of others
charged with having had a part in

ONCE MAN Halter;
WOMAN MARRIES
PRESIDENT CHICAGO SOCIETY RE-
SIGNS; DON'T BLAME ME, HE'S
A DEAR" SHE WRITES.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-There was al
most panic today at the headquar-
tiers of the North Side Widows Club,
an exclusive organization, when an
nouncement was received from Mrs.
". H. Prenevost, the clubs president,
that as she was no longer eligible to
membership she rendered her resigna-
ton. She is married to Denbigh
Harold Scott, of Coyington, Neb.
Mrs. Prenevost was one of the or
ganizers, and her inaugural speech
was revolutionary Here are few of
her most striking utterances:
Il Man is unfit in the present
stage of his mental development for
association with the best type of wo-
manhood. The wife generally is fifty
years ahead of her husband spiritually
and in her intuitive higher under
standing.
20. Man is a head-hunter, rowing
the lighted streets with an eye single
to conquest. While he is telling you
that he loves you he is winking at the
girl in the big red hat at the next
restaurant table. Men were deceivers
ever
%. Man is selfish, self-centered,
suspicious, jealous untrust-
worthy, given to lying, prone to crit
icism, arrogant, Unbalanced, material
istic, born vulgarian, holding woman
a chattel and himself god. For my
part, no man will ever enter again in
to my life, I have tasted freedom,
and It is sweet"
Mrs. Prenevosts views now are not
fully known, but in her letter Of resig-
nation she wrote; Don't blame me
too much. He's such a dear"

A Eiohtinq Farmer.

Successful pugilism has become such a sure road to fortune. and the leading fighters are so avowedly in the game for the money. that it is a novelty for a bruiser to seek nothing but the glory of being the best man. "Cyclone'' Thompson, wno whipped Fighting Dick" Hyland at Kansas City the night before last, is an edu-
 cated and wealthy young farmer of Illinois. He frankly states that he is after the light weight championship only, that he expects to beat Bat ting Nelson at the first opportunity, and that he cares nothing for the money that may come to him as the result of his victories. He owns 215 acres of fine farming land. and car ries letters from Illinois bankers cer- tifying to his high standing at home. Regardless as MT. Cyclone" Thomp- son be concerning the emoluments of his new calling, however, he will find that his revenues from the ring will exceed the profits from his big farm.
 What is the moral? We don't know.

Beyond the Department.

A fraud order has been issued by the postoffice department against Harry B. Wooding of Council Bluffs. Iowa, denying him the use of the mails. According to the postoffice in- spectors. Wooding was doing large business in the sale of photographs ..an enormous business it is officially described. He inserted advertisements in many newspapers, such as: AS nature made them. Photos of beau tiful forms. Sealed 25 cents" Send CTS of 25 cents received a photograph of a grove of trees Another adver- tisement reading: Night scene in a hotel. Sealed 25 cents yielded to the curious who remitted the money. a photograph of a man and woman dusting and cleaning a bedroom.
 Of course. the Iowa swindler shrewd- ly addressed himself to people of prurient minds. and the harvest he reaped indicates a large class of the lasciviously curious. The only, re- deeming feature of the business is the fact that the senders of the money were buncoed, as they deserved. The paternalistic postoffice department can suppress a scoundrel now and then. but it cannot reform the erotic popu- lace.
