Italian Cat and American Canary.

The other day, when an italian friend
so sWcetly, SO subtly prevailed with
me against my nature and habit, to
say some words on this occasion. he
first caught my fancy with the fact
that New York is. after Milan and Ma
piles, the largest Italian city in the
world. He said. '"There are five hun
dred thousand Italians in New York. ;"
and this sent through me a thrill of
that pride in numbers which the Amer
lean feels when the census justifies his
forecast of any fabulous increase of
population. To be a greater Italian
city than Venice, than Florence, than
Rome herself, that seemed indeed some
thing truly great. In my fancy 1t
equalled us at once with those beauti-
full and stored capitals. and for the
moment / walked contemporary with
their roets and painters. their politician
and patriots, their saints and soldiers.
in. the spleiidor of their deafness MEM
cries. Our sky-scrapers climbed into
the same heaven with their domes and
towers, the mansions of our million
aires WED with the palaces of their pa
tricians. II was a glorious moment.
but when my friend bereft me OF the
magic of his presence, the glamour ia
tled, and my heart began to misgive me.
How, / wondered, shall we ever assimi-
late that half-nillion of Italians. 1t
was toward evening. and the question
persisted well through the night, but
with the morning a. great light snone
into my darkness. 1t was not for us
Americans to have the misgivings, but
for those Italians: it was not for us to
assimiIate them, but for them to assim-
late us.
What I wish insistently to observe Is
that it has always been the new, not
the old inhabitants, who have done the
assimilating in New York. Each immi
grafton has been an invasion; but while

Dennis MiIIiken Bangs.

Dennis Milliken Bangs, son of the
late Gen. Isaac Sparrow Bangs and
Hadassah Jane Milliken (Bangs), died
suddenly at S.45 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing at his home on College avenue
after several years of i'll health. His
death was due to heart trouble with
which he had been a sufferer. For the
past five years Mr.. Bangs had made his
winter home in Washington, d. c. on
account of his health and came to this
city in the summer. He returned here
last week in a critical condition.
The deceased was born in Water
vile, Al years ago last June and re-
ceived his earlier education in the pub
lie schools He was later graduated
from Coburn Classical Institute He
entered Bowdoin College, from which
institution he. was graduated with the
Glass of 81 While at Bowdoin he be-
came member of the Zeta Psi fra
ternity and was very prominent in the
secret society work. He held several
prominent offices in the order.
Upon the death of his father he
took charge of the insurance and real
estate business which he conducted
and carried on the business for few
years. until his health failed him and
he was obliged to seek a change of
climate. With his mother he went to
Washington. D. c.. returning each sum-
mer to their beautiful home on College
avenue.
The death of Mr.. Bangs was severe
shock to his many friends in this city,
many of whom did not know of his
illness or his return hme. He was one
of the most prominent citizens, always
interesting himself in the city's well
fare. In social circles he was most
prominent. He was a member of the
Loyal Legion and when Garfield Camp
No. 1, Sons OF Veterans. was organized
March 90, 1883 by his father, the late
Gen. l. S. Bangs. he was chosen to be
the first captain. He never married
and was the only descendent of the
family. His mother survives.
The funeral service will be held from
his late home on College avenue at 2
O'Clock Thursday afternoon. The ser
vice will be conducted by Rev. George
Dana Sanders of the Unitarian church
and the body will be laid at rest in the
family lot in the Pine Grove cemetery

Spain's Great Art Revival.

Jgnacio sZuloaga, who was born at
Eibar in the province of Guipuzcoa on
July twenty-sixth, eighteen hundred
and seventy, is clearly the leader Of
the national movement in the art of
northern Spain, just as Sorolia is of
that in the south. Zuloaga is the true
son of that. robust and ancient race
who were only reduced to submission
by Alfonso XII after the hardest sort
of a struggle. and who will regard
themselves as distinctly less Spanish
than Basque. They had really es-
poused the Carlist cause only because
they thus hoped to remain independent
so much longer, and today these men
of the mountains are as resolute and
