honorary nallbearers But there was one other
courtesy which international etiquette pre-
scribes shall be offered under such sad clrcum-
stances. In accordance with the usage OF
friendly nations the president of the United
States cabled to the president of Chile Offer
ing the use of United States warShip to con-
vey on his last journey home the body OF the
deceased diplomatist The offer was accepted
and the Delaware has been assigned TO act as
funeral barge on this voyage OF thousands OF
miles to Valparaiso and return. In accordance,
however, with the wishes of the Cruz family
the battleship did not start on hes journey i'm
mediately after the funeral, but the trip was
deferred until this month, the fag-draped cas-
ket reposing in the meantime in receiving
vault in cemetery at Washington.
The United States government has been
called upon twice BEFORE within a comparative
ly few years. to convey home the bodies Of emf
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 ouly year ago similar hon.
ors were paid to the remains Of the late Senior
Na5uco 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 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
i'll feeling and it is the desire Of our statesmen
to allay any lingering srsspicions and cement
friendship in this quarter The Delaware was
not, of course, member of the und-.he-world
squadron that visited Chilean ports several
years ago so that not only will she be nov
city to eyes beyond the Andes but she will af-
ford the people of Chile their first opportunity
to inspect an example of the worlds latest
ideas in heavy battleship building.

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 '1az-
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 differ
in religious and political convictions, in NOR
ais, in social customs, in food and clothing.
The galantuOmini include the shopkeepers,
the small manufacturers tradesmen, book
keepers, persons engaged in clerical occupa-
tons, 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,
hut require their wives and daughters to OBJ
serve all the conventional religious duties,
and they themselves never fail to reach for
crucihx or call for priest whenever they
Imagine their own lives to be in danger.
They are fond of dress and display and in
duge their taste as far their means will
hermit. 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 SUI
irene service to the crown

means that she is fully one-fourth larger or
heavier than any other vessel now in commits
sion in our navy except her sister ship, the
North Dakota. She Is also the speediest OF all
our battleships built or building, being capable
of gait of "a or % miles per hour which is
dictinctly going some" for so ponderous craft
and which will enable her to make good time
on her round trip beyond Cape Horn II neces-
sity should arise.
The Delaware is the heaviest armed of all
our "peacemakers," excepting of course her
twin sister, the North Dakota She carries ten
of the big Pinch guns, four OF which were
few years ago considered ample for any battle
ship. and in addition she has ranged on her
sides IA of the tremendously effective 5-incn
guns, to say nothing of whole array OF smaller
naval shooting irons" Some of these latter
the three-pounders for instance. will be the only
ones used on the present cruise and then merely
for firing salutes. The Delaware has ship s
company of record breaking size-55 officers and
nearly 900 men.

THREE ORDERS OF SOCIETY IN NAPLES

They live cheaply in the open air. with a
room in the basement the attic Of some
old tenement, to which they can retreat for
shelter in case of storm, and when the hour
comes for sleep.
They delight in garlic, shell fish, raw vege-
tables and fruit The women pay little at
tention to their dress and always go bare
headed. There are probably not dozen hats
or bonnets to the thousand Of the women
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 it 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 let there are
grades of misery just as there are grades OF
prosperity
There are lazzaroni who are rich and COM

cupy the adjoining attic, but 1t 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 a study Of
them insist that the poorer and more loath-
some the family the stronger the love and at
tachment AS misfortune comes upon them
they seem to cling more closely together, pa
rents to children, children to parents and
brothers to sisters, and not one is so low or so
destitute as to be unable now and then to do
an act of charity or express compassion to
neighbors who are even more badly off than
themselves.

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land Of cot
ton of the results of four years use
Of the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since can remember we had
used coffee three times a day. It had
more or less injurious effect upon
US all, and I myself suffered almost
death from Indigestion and nervous
ness caused by 1t.
II know it was that, because when
/ would leave it off for few days ]
would feel better. But It was hard to
give it up, even though I realized how
harmful it was to me.
"At last 1 found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago 1 abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and also in
fiuenced the rest of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink 1t freely as they do
water. And it has done us all great
good.
II no longer suffer from indigestion,
and my nerves are in admirable tone
since I began to use Postum. We
never use the old coffee any more.

lightful and healthful beverage, which
not only invigorates but supplies the
best of nourishment as WELL" Name

be bad idea either, for the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
are very Jealous of receiving their due need of
respect and recognition from their big brother
of the north This focusing of the attention
of people on the east coast of South America
will come about through the circumstance that
the Delaware, being unattended by coal or sup
ply ships, will find 1t necessary en- route to and
from Chile to put in at ports in Brazil, Argen-
tina and other places for fuel, supplies, etc.
Of course the natives at each port cannot fail
to be impressed by the vessel and the impor-
lance which Uncle Sam attaches to her mis-
sion.

A Corner In Candles.

AS an example of trusts and monop-
olies prevalent even in that early day
it may be mentioned that IN 1850 one
Benjamin Crabb obtained the exclus-
i've right to make sperm candles in
Massachusetts for IA years.
A year laUer, however, factory was
started in Providence, r l., and with
In the decade there were eight fac
tories in New England and one in
Philadelphia. Their output greatly re-
duced the price of candles, which not
long before sold for FIVE sldjlings a
pound. In those days $i.25 was worth
fully three times as much as 1t Is now.

other the largest hole in the cushion
was worked round until 1t was well
to the front, and after that each Of
three emphatic thumps from the par
sons vigorous hands, as he expounded
his ideas, sent a shower of feathers
floating down over the heads of the
people in the front pews.

parson resumed his charge, there
were no broken panes in the window
behind him, and the pulpit cushion
had a new cover.-London telegraph.

Delaware's trip will naturally be compared
that Notwithstanding first leg" of the mem
orable round-the-world cruise when Rear Ad-
miral Bob" Evans led fleet of 16 battleships
around the lower half of our continent In that
event conspicuousy was there exemplifed the
adage that In union there is strength, and
aside from the self-confidence inspired by the
coordinate action of whole feet of battle
ships there was the further insurance against
the unexpected offered by the presence with
the feet of a repair ship, supply ships and
val Golfers. The Delaware, on the other hand,
must traverse the track fguratively
as well as literally ION her own bottom" as
the seafaring men say.
However, without Understanding the pres
tige that will come to the Delaware through
all these unusual attributes of her present trip.
1t must be admitted that the greatest signif-
canoe of all attaches to this 1911 cruise be-
cause of the mission Of the Delaware. The
fleet of battleships that visited South Ameri-
can ports a 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.
When foreign diplomat dies at his post of
duty in an alien capital it is customary for
the officials of the government to which he
had been accredited as envoy and for his fell
low diplomats TO accord him every possible
honor in death. Elaborate ceremonials are
prescribed, not merely as a tribute to the
statesman whose work in behalf of interna-
tional good feeling has thus been interrupted
by death, but also a compliment to the
country and the government whose accredited
agent he was. All the unwritten laws were
carefully observed IN the case of the late Chi
lean minister. His funeral at Washington
was made the occasion Of an elaborate mill

battleship cannot ascend the com
paratively shallow Potomac river
to Washington to receive the body,
and SO the presidents yacht May
flower will be used to convey the
casket from the capital to Hamp-
ton roads, Va, where the transfer
will be made to the big vessel
When the casket is conveyed from
the receiving vault to the May
flower there will be another mill
tary and naval pageant and guns
will boom in salute and high off,
Gals Of the government win stand
with uncovered heads while the
casket is swung by means of the
long arm of a crane from the CATS
son used as a hearse to the deck Of
the vessel. A high official of the
state department will accompany
the body to Hampton Roads as a
preventative of our government
and, in all probability, one or more
Chilean diplomats will go with the
body on the battleship all the way
to Chile
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 commandant
of midshipmen at the United States
naval academy and is thus known
personally to almost every one Of
the younger officers of our sea ser
vice. The Delaware, Of which he
is in command, is $40 feet in
length, IS feet breadth and dis
places 10000 tons of water, which

The cruise of the Delaware takes

the first stunt of the kind attempted

formidably armed than any of our old

these ships that were so awe inspir-

these new "all-big-gun" ships are as
yet something of an experiment In our
navy In so far as actual service goes
and consequently naval officials and
shipbuilding experts will await with
no little concern the outcome Of this
prolonged shaking down" cruise.
Another circumstance that makes
this coming cruise stand out as a not
able achievement is that the Delaware

newspapers must have noted, it has
not been the practise of our naval au
thorities of late years to assign single
battleships to long cruises. They usu
ally go In fleets, or in divisions OF
four ships, or at least in pairs. Why,
1t will be remembered that when Pres
ident Taft made his recent trip to Pa
mama a second warship was sent along
with the one that carried the presiden-
dal party, not because there was any
real need for it, but simply to have q
