Awe Thirty Wounded at the Celebration
of an Italian Feast.
A New York despateh says ; Eleven
people are dead and 30 wouuded as the re-
nult of the bomb explosion at the Italian
celebration last night. The Italian colony
aveitling in the neighborhood of 13eyden 8,nd
Ntrasau streets have for several days been
preparing for the celebration of the feast of
rat Rocco. Alfonso Mario, a saloon -keeper
who on account of his wealth, is known as
"King Alfonso," was the chief mover in
the arrangements. Aplatform for musicians
was erected in the street next •door to the
saloon. A statue of St. Rocco was next to
the platform. The houses were decorated
and at nightfall Chinese lanterns were
'lighted, The band played, fireworks were
exhibited awl a great crowd blockaded the
Area. A big copper casing mortar was
used for the bombs. These were filled with
colored fire and elect into the air where they
'burst, throwing out a shower of various
colored sparks. It was this mortar
that exploded and caused all the harm. The
bomb -casing is a,bout.5 inches in diameter
eaid 30 inches long. About 11 p. rn. a large
bomb was put in the mortar and lighted. It
is supposed that the bomb exploded in it.
There were hundreds of men, woznen and
children stendine around watching with
„great expectancy. When it exploded the
,air was filled with the ehrieks of the injured
levand dying. Intense confusion fcillowed. A
platoon of police were on the scone, and
they had great difficulty in preventing the
frightened multitude from trampling the in„,
eured to death. The explosion is supposed
to have been due to an overcharge of
powder.
The names of the dead are: Michael .An-
maloria, 19 years old; Charles Stewart Caro -
lin, 12; Michael O'Neil, 13 ; Paequalli
Rezzilino, Bred Weiss, 15 ; Guiseppi

nzo, Frank Miller, 8 ; Arthur Flynn, 11 ;
Lizzie Hughes, 18 '• Lizzie Murphy, 19 ;
Henry Burgesser, 13.
Rumors were Aroad that there had been
,dynamite in the bomb, but this is denied.

COMICAL BIRD.
The Grotesque relic:is with, Its Dusky
• Asthmatic whisper.
Four or five mangrove trees in the vicinity
ef Bird Key were occupied by a colony of
brown pelicans. The nests were a simple
3nass of refuse, twigs and seaweed, and the
flotsam and jetsam of the ocean, upon
which were perched two large blood -marked
eggs. A young pelican may be considered
one of the comical things in nature—a
grotesque, ill -proportioned animal, a medi-
al do -do, and like that famous bird, of
which an old writer said it was "as re-
markable to the eye as to the stomach."
The voice of the pelican but adds to its
_absurdity, being a husky asthmatic whisper,
writes a correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle.
This patient bird, with its solemn, decor -
aux bearing, is a victim to the laughing
es.enall. The laughing gull, beinglazy and
hi
heavy, labors at a disadvantage n fishing,
So prefers to borrow fro•aa its companion,
the pelican. The operation, which I have
-often, observed, as well as its sequel with
the frigate bird, is as follows: The pelican
like along at a distance of about 20 feet
from the water, occasionally precipitating
'itself upon a school of small fry that, not,
'being able to see an object directly over-
head, often become victims, and are cap-
tured by the long bill and pouch. Having
leaught the sardines, the pelican rights
itself, and for a seconi floats serenely upon
the surface, wagging its diminutive tail in
s satisfaction. To swallow the game, it tosses
itss beak upward, which throws the fish from
the pouch between the bills, the next move-
ment being to swallow.
But here the laughing gull becomes a
party to the performance. He has been a
watchful follower for some time, and now
slights upon the ' pelican's head, or some-
times its back, the pelican uttering no pro -
teat and apparently not objecting in the
least. As the tempting morsel is tossed by
the pelican the gull leans forward and deftly
plucks it from the long bill, and either
cooly swallows it then and there, while
standing upon the broad back of the victim,
ser flies away with the stolen fish, uttering
the victorious "ha, ha," that may attract
the attention of the frigate bird, which, in
turn, proceeds to rob the gull.

Three Fishers.
Tbree fishers went strolling away to the
•streato.,
To the babbling brook where the fishes swim.
Of speckled beauties they all did dream,
And each felt certain they'd bito for him.
For men will tramp from morning till night,
An suffer the fierce Mosquito's bite,
And drink to stop their groaning.
Three fishers strolled into the market place,
'Twas some two hours after the sun went
. down,
.Aucl a look of gloom was on each man's face,
For at empty baskets they each did frown.
For men nia,y fish; but may get no bite,
And tired and huagry go home at night,
And vent their wrath in groaning.
Throe fishers strolled into the beer Saloon,
Where the crowd sat round and the gas was
bright,
And each gayly whistled a merry tune,
And showecl his fish with assumed delight.
For mon will ash, yea, and men will lie,
And boast of catching the fish they buy,
While inwardly they're groaning.

VAS/MO irail SICK.
Nileinems to the sick end the afflicted is
euch a commendable virtue that its exercise
eevers a multitude of sing, yet discretion
ehould go with it. According to a Brooklyn
paper, one woman in that city diesents from
the idea that it is true charity to take
flowers and books to the hospitals. " If I
were sick," she remarked, and in the
public ward of a hospital, I should, it is
poeeible, be very miserable but why should
my misery be accontueted by having women
eit down and read to me about the tortures
of hell ? Or have them lay on my bed half -
withered flowers, or by giving me Bibles or
buns ? It is obsoletely tree that a poor
old German, who is in one of the
public hospitals, wanted a bun the
other day, and thet the visitor would not
give it to him unless he first took a Bible.
He could pot read or speak one word of
English, but he took the Bible and got the
bun, and if that woman don't take the
cake for being a consummate fool, then the
world has a larger store of them than even
I had ithegined. It is no charity to go in
and int down and read. the Bible to sick
people. It would be a good deal more of
a charity to take an entertaining book,
read a little from it, and say a few cheerful
words, and then when the poor wretched
body was better, think over if it were
better to say a little about the poor,
wretched soul. One of the cleverest doctors
in Bellevue told me that if anybody who
had plenty of money wanted to do a really
good work there was room for it. And this
ie what he suggested: Men come here with
broken legs, hurt in all sorts of ways, men
who aro laid up for months. They would
get well in half the time if their minds were
easy, Now, when a man is brought here, if
some of the people who want to do good
would come to him and say: My friend,
have you a wife or a mother, ? Have you
any children ? And is there ate body t
care for them and give them bread
and butter while you are ill?'
and then, when he told the state of affairs,
for the Samaritan to look after
that wife and those children until he cou.c1
come out and care for them himself. There
is a work for you. It is better than carry-
ing around half -faded, sickly -smelling
flowers. It's better than buns and Bibles.
It is what the Bible teaches'and the ex-
perience of most people its this world is, we
tied it easier to give away black and white
editions of the Bible than to show its teach-
ings as man to man, and brother to brother.
Charity may cover a multitude of sins,
but there are more crimes, more worrying
little deviltries committed in the name of
charity than in the name of any other
virtue.
"A woman thinks she is charitable when
she asks a man what he thinks about the
future. Now, when he has a raging fever,
and every separate and individual bone in
his bocly is aching, a.nd his eyes feel like
balls of fire the future doesn't trouble him
in the least; it is the present that he is
interested in ; and a good sponging off with
cool alcohol, the straightening up of a bed,
and the giving of a veritable drink of cold
water is a far greater charity than pictur-
ing to that man what he would look like
dressed up as an angel, playing on a harp
In his present condition he has no use
for harps. Just remember that I don t
want to say one word to keep any goon
woman from trying to do her best, but I
wish a few of them—just a few—would be
a little bit more practical, and remembei
how, when they are ill, their own husbands
and sons want to be treated, and credit
other men with having the same human
feelings. A sick man is always a sad and
sorry sight—especially if he isn't very sick.
He has it firmly planned out that he is going
to die. He thinks nobody ever had such
pains as he did, and from the very first
takes an aggressive position toward the doe
tor, regarding him as a personal enemy,
rather than a kind friend."

leer the Homely Girl.
Homely women are always more enter
teeming than pretty specimens of the fair
sex. The latter • rely on their beauty to
carry them through the world, and it gene-
rally does until they get married, when it
commonly fails them. The homely girl,
knowing she has no beauty to rely on, goes
to work and improves her mind ; she learns
some accomplishment, becomes a clever
artist or pianist, reads a good deal 8,nd so
learns to converse readily and well. She is
better company than the pretty girl, for the
beauty does not think it worth her trouble
to be entertaining as she has spent all her
efforts in trying to look pretty. The beauty
may make a good wife, but the chances
are that she will learn nothing after mar-
riage a,nc1 so will soon become dull and
uniuteresting. The ugly girl, with a little
brains, stands as fair a chance of getting' a
good husband as her pretty sister and a
nuich better prospect of having a happy
home.

A NEW method of generating electricity
to light railway cars is proposed by Mr. J.
F. McElroy, of New York. The storage
battery system has slot proved to be an un-
qualified success. The batteries are heavy,
occupy considemble, space and reguire con-
stant care. Mr. NIcElroy's plan is to apply
to the axle of the engine a cylindrical dy-
namo which he has invented and which
weighs less than 300 pounds. In order to
provide for light while the engine is stand-
ing a small storage battery is hidden away
in each car and automatically comes into
circuit when the train is brought to a
standstill. This battery is charged during
the running of the train and is of sufficient
capacity to light a car for six hours without
re-cbarging.

A Constantinople cable says: The death
of the man who calls himself the rightful
head of the Christian Church universal is
rare, because advancing age commonly gives
the nictunbent of the Greele Patriarchal
chair time to resign before the fatal hour.
Hence the funeralof the Patriareh Dionysius
called together an enormous concourse of
people. Along the whole line of four or
five miles traversed by the procession the
streeta were packed with men, women and
children who might never have an oppor-
tunity- to see this pageant again. Turkish
troops formed the escort of the procession,
but were not used to protect it from the
mob of Greek sight -seers. It had hardly
left the Patriarchal Church at the Fanar
when its orderly structure was annihilated
by the rush of the rabble bent on seeing
the awful thing which the priests had
brought out of the church. It was nothing
that prince and sheen:eke"- bishop and
boatman, diplomat in cocked hat and
pache in massive gold embroidery struggled
together and with the pall -bearers for the
right of way. The awful thing, the haunt.
inera horror of the spectacle, was the osten-
tatious parade of the decaying corpse of the
white-haired olcl man, crowned with gold,
bedecked with ecclesiastical finery, tied,
like a criminal who has been executed by
electricity, into a chair, with head left to
hang noddieg on one side, with one hancl
held aloft by strings in grim caricature of
the attitude of benediction, and with at-
tendants spraying perfumery over the
ghastly thing in order to conceal its odor.
As if this was not enough, when after
several hours of such exposure in the streets
the corpse reached the place of sepulture,
proceedings were stopped in order that the
robes of the defunct might be saved. The
poor dead patriarch was thoroughly stripped
of his garments. Dretsed in a bare white
shroud he was seated on a stone in the
coreer of his lest resting -place and the place
was closed up. Then at length the men
who had teken such liberties with his body
retired, satisfied with their last homage to
their spiritual head.

on tke Gallows.
A Charleston, S. C., despatch says : The
most death dealing sentence in the legal
annals of this State was passed at Laurens
yesterday, ten negro menbeing sen termed to be
hanged for the murder of another negro.

Some months ago Jim Young, Monroe
Young, Henderson Young, Allen Young,
John Atkinson, Lije Atkinson, John Adams,
Perry Adams and Jack Williams, all
colored, having some cause of quarrel
against Thornton Nance, also colored, ar-
ranged a plan to take his life and carried it
out successfully. They were all tried
together for the crime and were all convicted.

whole ten to be hanged on October 23rd

The Bush of American Securities Causes
a Gold Outflow.
A London cable says : Economic experts
agree that the net addition to the Normal
imports of American grain has not exceeded
$100,000,000, of which part will be taken in
luxuries and part in gold. If the extrava-
gant buying of American Railroad securi-
ties continues the English indebtedness will
be further enhanced and will lead to an
increase of Bullion shipments.
Mr. Giffen's recent estimate that 10,000,-
000 in gold would be the limit of the
export to New York is not disputed, but
even this maximum is expected to entail an
increase of the Bank of England rate to 5
or 6 per cent.

Tired Feeling
Is a dangerous condition directly due
to depleted or impure blood. It should
not be allowed to continue, as in its
debility the system is especially liable
to serious attacks of illness. It is re-
markable how beneficial Hood's Sarsa-
parilla is in this enervating state. Pos-
sessing just those elements which the
system needs and readily seizes, this
medicine purifies the blood, and im-
parts a feeling of strength and self-con-
fidence. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best
remedy for that weakness which pre-
vails at change of season, climate or life.
S
Sarsaparilla
"I believe it is to the use of Hood's
Sarsaparilla, that I owe my present
health. In the spring, I got so com-
pletely run down I could not eat or
sleep, and all the dreaded diseases of
life seemed to have a mortgage on my
system. I was obliged to abandon my
work, and after seeking medical treat-.
merit and spending over $eo for different
preparations, I found myself no better.
Then my wife persuaded me to try a
bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Before
the first bottle was gone I began to
amend. I have now used two bottles
and have gained 22 pounds. Can cat
anything without it hurting me, my
dyspepsia and biliousness have gone.
I never felt better in my life." W. V.
EULOWS, Lincoln, II1.
