BosToN, Feb. 14.-Many Bostonians
who take pride in their ancestry are much
annoyed over the publication OF a book
by James H. Stark OF Dorchester. in
which the regulations OF some Of the old
patriots are severely criticised.
The title OF the volume 10 -Loyalists

Samuel Adams, he too proved to be a
defaulter. For twenty years the cor
poration begged and entreated him to
make restitution,
They threatened to prosecute him
and also to put his bond in suit as Adams
was but IL was all OF no avail. He turned
a deaf ear to their entreaties. and it was
only after his death in 1898 that his heirs
then made restitution to the college,
when a settlement was made in l7o6 in
which the college lost s526 interest.

Giovanni Passanante was a cook by

drawn up to welcome them. A. the royal

were reoeived everywhere with great
enthusiasm.

his arm.
The King acted with coolness and eff

he struck the would-be assassin a sharp
blow on the head. At the same moment
Signor Carroll grabbed the man by the

thigh. Then the soldiers jumped on the
house.
The only reason that Passanante ever
gave for his act was that he did not like
kings He was tried and convicted in
short order and condemned to the awful
penalty Of solitary confinement in abso-
lutte silence for the rest OF his life. this
being the penalty which Italy infiicts
instead Of death upon those guilty OF
the most serious crimes. Its invariable
result is insanity. Passanante held out
for some years. but at last he gave way
like the rest and was transferred to an
asylum.
The attempt of Passanante was only
one of several made upon the life of Hum
bert. The final one was that OF Bresci,
which was successful. on July 30. 1900.
