population of the lazzaroni.
The lazzaroni are so accustomed to fetid
odors, the misery, the loathsome filth Of the
"Fondaci," as the slums are called, that 1t Is
difficult for them to be happy under any other
circumstances. They are born in 1t, they live
in it and they die In it, and ret there are
grades Of misery, just as there are grades OF
prosperity.
There are lazzaroni who are rich and COM
Portable compared with others who may oc-
cupy the adjoining attic, but It is said by
those who have studied this class that they
are never reduced to a condition which Is be-
yond their philosophy to endure; that they
will always Jest about their hunger and laugh
about their pains.
Sentimentalists who have made study Of
them insist that the poorer and more loath

neighbors who are even more badly of than

There are three distinct classes In Neapoli-
tan society-it would be better to call them
castes-the nobility and aristocracy. the gal
antuomini" or middle classes, and the 'laz-
zaroni" or the submerged multitude"
The first class 1t is unnecessary to de-
scribe, the other classes live side by SIDE,
and are yet distinct and hostile They diner
in religious and political convictions IN NOR
ais, in social customs, in food and clothing
The galantuomini include the shopkeepers.
the small manufacturers tradesmen, DOCK
keepers, persons engaged in clerical occupa.
tions, and practically all who are compelled
to earn their living, but who are not engaged
in manual labor.
They are generally liberal and often radical
in politics. The men express an open In
difference and often contempt for the church,
but require their wives and daughters to OBJ
serve all the conventional religious duties,
and they themselves never fail to reach for
cruci1x or call for priest whenever they
imagine their own lives to be in danger
They are fond of dress and display and In
dulge their taste as far as their means Will
permit, but their wives and daughters are
kept in seclusion and are never allowed to
leave the house without duennas to protect
them.
The lazzaroni regard with contempt as
we'll as aversion the families OF the galan-
tuomini, who are not wealthy and have to
struggle to keep up appearances. The laz'
zaroni are strongly attached to the nobility,
have often given practical evidences OF loyal
ty and on several occasions have been OF su'
preme service to the crown.

event conspicuously was there exemplified the
adage that In union there is strength, and

However, without Understanding the pres

all these unusual attributes Of her present trip
1t must be admitted that the greatest sgnif
canoe Of all attaches to this 1911 cruise be-
cause Of the mission Of the Delaware. The
fleet Of battleships that visited South Amer
can ports couple Of years ago went solely
on the initiative of President Roosevelt as
practise cruise and sort Of object lesson to
other nations, but the Delaware goes on
specific mission of coincidence, out of respect
to the memory Of an international statesman
and In compliment to friendly nation She Is
to convey from our shores to his native land
the body Of Senior Don Anibal Cruz, the late
minister Of the republic Of Chile to the United
States.

prescribed, not merely as a tribute to the

country and the government whose accredited

mediately after the funeral, but the trip was
deferred until this month, the flag draped cas-
ket reposing in the meantime in a receiving
vault In cemetery at Washington.
The United States government has been
called upon twice before, within comparative
ly few years, to convey home the bodies Of emil
nent Pan-American statesmen who have died
In this country. Some years ago the body OF
an ambassador Of Mexico was thus conveyed
home in state and only year ago similar hon.
ors were paid to the remains of the late Senior
Nabuco, who was for years the ambassador of
Brazil at our seat Of government On neither
occasion, however, was there employed for the
service SO imposing a vessel as the Delaware.
That the officials and the public of Chile
will appreciate the significance of Uncle Sans
sending his largest and finest warship is the
expectation of the American authorities and
there Is plain intent to thus create an espe-
cially favorable impression-possibly the more
so because Chile is one of those South Ameri-
can countries with which the United States
has at times in the past been on the verge of
Ill feeling, and it is the desire Of our statesmen
to allay any lingering suspicious and cement
friendship in this quarter. The Delaware was

Captain Cove, who will command
the Delaware on this important
cruise, is one of the most capable
officers in the United States navy.
He was for years the commandment
of midshipmen at the United States
