italian 9Ilferinq OF Mails.

One deplo bile effect Of the Tn-co-
Italian war is the bold pilfering of the
mails in Italy-especially of those from
from the United States. The Italian
government, doubtless struggling un'
der the onerous task of carrying on
the war, seems to be quite unable to
insure safe handling of the mails.
That this Is petty thievery is indicated
by the fact that not alone registered
mail. but ordinary letters as well are
being stolen right and left Two or
three weeks ago the Italian police
captured a man with forty stolen let
tiers in his pocket. An American stu
dent at the North American college IN
Rome reports that he receives only
half of the letters that his relatives
write him. He has lost six letters
since January l, 1912. Americans IN
Italy, unable to get any satisfaction
from the Italian post office officials
are asking their relatives and friends
at home to procure some effective &C
ton toward safeguarding this interna'
tional correspondence,-National Mag
azine.

When IFS IlI-Gotten.

Mayor Brand Whitlock of Toledo
was praising the modest comfort OF
the life of the physician, the author,
the school teacher, and such-like
workers. Don't let us desire wealth"
he said. Don't let us waste our lives,
forfeit our joy, in scramble after
wealth that is bound, nine times out
of ten, to be fruitless anyway. Wealth
what is It, after all? May not
wealth too often just be defined as
the rogues advantage over the honest
man."

Mill Is Veteran in Service.

Residents along the New York and
Connecticut shores OF Long Island
Sound are familiar with an interesting
old mill, still in operation, which was
erected at the close of the Revolution
and has been in more or less con-
slant operation ever since. Original
ly power was developed through two
undershot wheels which, in course of
time, were replaced by turbines. The
waters are impounded at high tide in
an artificial basin and are released
when the tide commences to fall.

Will Test the Law

St. Johns, Aug. 12.-An impor- tant matter will come before Judge Ling of the superior court today, the hearing of an application for a writ of mandamus, brought by At torney Yates, a democrat, to compel Recorder Platt, democrat, to register Gabriel Armiio and Luis Chavez, wealthy Mexican republicans.
 Their ancestors were here long before the civil war and they claim citizenship under treaty stipula- tions. Registration was denied them on account of the educational quail fication of voters. They refused to take the reading test, though Chavez is educated in English. But he claims that he has vested right to vote and that he has voted for the last thirty years. Greer, republi- can, is Platt's attorney. This is a test case of great interest and will be taken into the state supreme court by one party or the other.

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN

Society folks at the summer colo nies such as Lennox, Bar Harbor and Narragansett Pier and Newport have nothing on the Williams so- ciety set when it comes to unique entertainments and pleasant sur prises.
 Last Friday evening the smart set of Williams were royalty enter tained in very unusual manner, which was replete with many sur prises to the favored few.
 Misses Fisher, Johnston, Buggeln, Watson and Dermont were the in- ventors of the pleasing entertain ment, which was called a progress i've lunch.
 The invited guests assembled at the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. Mcdonald Robinson, where the first course of the progressive menu was served, after which part ners were switched and the party repaired to the residence of Mrs. Thomas Maddock, where the second course was partaken of The third course was prepared at the residence of Mrs. Martin Buggeln. Partners were again changed and met at Miss Watson's residence, where the fourth course was joyfully received.
 The party then meandered to the ''Pines," where Mrs. w. F. Der mont received the guests and served the fifth course, after which the en- tire party of about twenty-five young people assembled at the Parish House and indulged in danc- ing until midnight. The famous Italian orchestra, which visits Will jams once a year, furnished the mu- sic for the occasion. Following is the unique menu:
 1st Course The ladder al ways breaks (Cantaloupe) 2nd Course Get in the swim (Soup).
 Sd Course-Meet me tonight in Dreamland Chicken and other fix in's).
 4th Course-This ain't no lob ster (Fruit salad). 9th Course-Out in the desert (Ice cream and cake).
