ITU CillLIE A COMPLICATED ONE First Act Resulting in Murder of Woman Occurred Thirty Years 'Ago. (American News Service) Milan. Ken. 20. Too murder of Certain Maria Pclllzxonl. near Verona U lifted out of the category of commonplaco crimes by the extraordinary circumstance which Inquiry Into the past history of the persona concerned has revealed. The misdeed forms the closing scene of an Intricate drama, the first act of which was played near ly thirty years ago, when Giovanni Fatiro married Maria Pelizzonl. but only, with religious rites. They lived together for a few months until Giovanni was called up for his term of military service. He had not been away from home very long before he was advised by anonymous letters that Maria was carrying on an Intrigue with his brother Giuseppe. He accordingly returned to his native town of Ttonca. and spent several days In searching for the guilty couple. But lie outstayed his leavo of absence, was declared a deserter, arrested, and condemned to eighteen months' Imprisonment, being sent to the military prison at Havona. Having completed his term of punishment, Giovanni was drafted Into the disciplinary stationed at Osoppo. Here he received further letters stating that his wife had given birth to two children. He again deserted, returned to Ttonca and had a quarrel with his brother. The carabineers had to Interfere on this occasion, and Giovanni finding himself In Imminent danger of another term of Imprisonment for desertion, managed to escape from the country altogether. He wandered through Germany. France and Belglum, in 1900 he went through the civil form of marriage In Germany with a certain Anna Klein, by whom he had four children! Three years ago, Giovanni Fauro. abandoning his German wife, obtained work In a mine In Belgium. Here, as the result of an accident, he lost his right arm, and received as compensation from an Insurance company the sum of ten dollars per month. By this time he was no longer liable to punishment In Italy for his previous offences, so last year he returned once more tr Ronca. and established himself in his brother's house, of which he was part owner. It was at this point that the final phase of this curious family tragedy began. Giovanni's former affection for Maria Pelizzonl was reawakened, and it was not long before there were violent scenes of jealousy between him and his brother Giuseppe, who by now regarded the woman, by whom he had had eight children, as his own wife. And. It would appear that, for her part. Maria was by no means displeased at the return of the man she had married twenty-eight years before. Such a situation could not last very long. While Giovanni spent most of his time in the house, Giuseppe assiduously attended to his work in the fields. Yesterday morning after milking the cows, Giuseppe returned home

and said to Pelizzonl, "Pack up my clothes; I'm off to America." Without saying a word, the woman did as she was told, and soon brought the bundle Into the kitchen. Gulseppe, however, who suspected that the woman wot i Id not be sorry to see the last of him, was rendered furious by her coolness. Taking down a double-barrelled gun from the wall, he fired twice at her. She fell to the ground mortally wounded. Guiseppe replaced the gun,, stuffed a revolver In his pocket and fled. He has not since been found. AN EARLY HEARING OF SLANDER SUIT Interrogatories were filed by counsel for Dr. Arthur H. Jones of Whitewater In his rase against Man ford E. Walllngford. of the same place , In which Jones accuses Walllngford of slander and asks $5,000 damages. Indications are that the trial will be held within the near future, although ft Is known there have been efforts made by residents of Franklin township to have the suit withdrawn. .

Oucc an American divine sjtent Christmas in a highland inn. On Christmas rooming he gave the maid a tip of a sovereign, and he said, looking earnestly at her, for she was a pretty maid: " 'Do you know, Kathleen, yon are a very good looking lassie?' "Of course Kathleen was pleased, but, being modest, she blushed like a rose and answered: "'Ah. na! Ah. na! But my kissing, sir. Is beautlfuir "The divine frowned. "Leave the room, you wicked young baggager he said sternly. . "He didn't know, you see, that modest Kathleen bad been simply praising In her highland dialect the superior charms of her cousin Janet of 1'eebles." Philosophic Tea.

Frach tenburg, of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, who i3 engaged in study of the languages of the Indian tribes of tho Pacific Northwest, lie found that, contrary to the scientists making researches among the Coast Indians, the lower Umpqua and Siuslaw tribes of Oregon poscss languages entirely different from any other of the tribes and not dialects, as has always been thought. The Siuslow and Umpqua- tongues are radically different from those of the other tribes, in fact, there are only 12 languages on the globe, it is said, that have a similar form of expression. In speaking of the same action, th male 'and female use different words, thus creating practically two different languages. The division made is based 'upon animate and inanimate objects. The male Indian classes himself as animate and places the female of the tribe as Inanimate, no doubt because he considers her an inferior being. "It was supposed that the ' Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw forms of speech were mere dialects of the Yaquina tongue," said Prof. Frachtenberg, "but this supposition has proved not to be in accord with the facts as I discovered them. I find that these two languages form a new linguistic group, which bears no relation to the Alsea. Upon learning the certainty of this fact, I telegraphed to Washington and was directed to proceed immediately with the work of investigating these languages . further. "There Is but one woman who can still talk the language. She is almost 90 years old and is rapidly passing in to a stage of second childhood. She Is one of the lower Umpquas. Her husband is an Alsea and they speak different languages, but they understand each other. Through them, I

hope to tabulate their vocabulary andthe factlon wWch refused tQ

preserve this language now becoming extinct. This will be a work of months. My chief interest lies in finding 'other members of tho tribe, and if I can find them I shall have added considerable to the anthropological history of the Indian." Third annual ball of B. I.

DRANK INDIAN DOPE Composed of Cocaine and Alcohol Went Dippy. (American News Service) Spokane, Wash., Feb. 20. Drinking copiously of linaments and a concoctionn of alcohol and cocalnne, used by the Indians as a hair restorer, proved the undoing of George Moses, friend of the early white setlers in eastern Washington and Oregon and northern Idaho and foremost in the counsils of the Nez Perce tribe. Moses, who a few days before had proclaimed himself a Messiah, died a raving maniac in bis home on Tom Beall creek, six miles from the Indian agency at Lapwai, Idaho, on February 12. He was roped and strapped to his bed when the end came. Mrs. Moses, who also had used the drugs, is violently insane and may not recover. Funeral services over the dead headsman were accompanied by the ceremonials of the tribe. The sermon was delivered by Rev. James Hayes, a native pastor of the Indian church, in Indian Presbyterian church at Joseph. The funeral was attended by Indians from many parts of the northwest, also many white men and women. Burial was made in the little cemetery on the bank" of the Clearwater river, within a few feet of the grave of Rev. Henry II. Spalding, pioneer missionary, who came west with Dr. Marcus Whitman. Several days before his death Moses, while posing as "king of kings," summoned the Indians to his throne and pronounced judgment on each, decreeing that some should be blessed and others consigned to purgatory. Many of the Nez Perce Indians believe that Moses was possessed of supernatural powers. Moses was looked upon as second to Chief Joseph, declared to be the ablest man the Nez Perce tribe has produced. He was identified with join Chief Joseph in the hostilities against the whites in 1877-8, when, the reds led General O. O. Howard such a lively chase in' the Northwest. Lakes of Blood. The name Lake of Blood or its equl alent lias boon given to places as fat apart as England and South America. "Sanguelac " i. e., the Lako of Blood was the name given by tbe vie torious Normans to the battlefield at Hastings, where the Saxons wer overthrown and slain with terrible carnage. For a similar reason Lake Trns.imene has borne the name "Sanginetto" because its waters were reddened during the second Punic war by the blood of some 15,000 Romans who fell before the troops of Hannibal. Yet" another Lake of Blood, called also "Yaguar Cocha," is situated in the state of Ecuador. It Is ono of a series of lakes formed by the extinct craters of volcanoes on the towering heights of the Andes range of mountains. . . Coughing Burst . BLOOD VESSEL Says Danger Avoided ' and Cures Coughs in 5 Hours. A writer for the medical press states that coughing is responsible for the bursting of blood vessels quite frequently. A cough or cold' means inflammation l fever) : and . congestion, and these in turn indicate- that the body is full of poisons and waste matter. Simple relief as found in patent cought medicines, and a whiskey, often result In more harm than good; as they cause more congestion. A toniclaxative cough syrup will work marvels, and here follows a prescription which is becoming famous for its prompt relief and thorough cures. It rids jhe system of the cause, except it be consumption. Don't wait for consumption to grasp its victims, but begin this treatment which cure3 some in five hours.

It is probable the city will be divided into sections, with magnificent arches at the entrance of each division. The streets of the West End through which the coronation procession will pass, will be lined with rows of Venetian masts connected with floral garlands and topped by flags representing all portions of the empire.

The singers will number almost five hundred and the instrumentalists probably one hundred. The nucleus of the choir will naturally be the Westminster Abbey singers, who will be reinforced by the choirs of St. Paul's cathedral, the Chapel Royal, St. George's Chapel at Windsor, and drafts from the choirs of Rochester . cathedral and other sources in the provinces. The orchestra, in which the trumpeters will have a conspicuous part, will bo made up of musicians from the King's private band, the orchestra of the Royal Cho ral society and the Kneller Hall of Militarp Music. The chief features of the musical ritual will be the anthems specially composed for the occasion by Sir Frederick Bridge, Sir Walter Parratt and Sir George Martin, the three great organists of England. Sir Frederick Bridge probably will be selected to compose the anthem- which will signalize the entrance of the royal party into Westminster abbey. This recalls an interesting and time honored custom. Midway in the anthem a break will be made so that the boys of Westminster school may exercise their ancient privilege of greeting their majesties by shouting "Vivat Regina Ma ria," "Vivat Rex Georgus."

Miss Ruth Wynne Offers $1,000 If, She Is Granted

First Privilege. Washington, Feb. 20. To be the first one to take a flight in an aeroplane is the ambition of many society girls, and a lively battle is raging for the first chance when the aeroplane season opens in the spring. There will be a lively scramble at the aero meeu une sm 18 so aaxious lo iaKe me nrsi nigm mai sne nas onerea - . 11.000 for the privilege. The aspirant jl Miss Ruth Wynne, the granddaughici ui uuc uj. iuo umcoi unuucn ui ( congress. "To be the first girl to ride in an aeroplane In Washington would be a very great pleasure," said Miss. Wynne. "I am very much interested in the" sport and believe others are equally so. In view of this I believe there is going to be some strife among us for the distinction of going up first." Miss Gladys Hinckley, who usually has her way, is equally determined as Miss Wynne to be the first to take a flight. "I don't, know how this matter will be settled." said Miss Hinckley. "It is probable there will have to be a drawing of lots to arrive at an amicable decision. I am Just as enthusiastic over the great sport as anybody could possibly be, and most certainly would like the honor of being the first to go up." One young society "bud" has suggested an original way of solving the problem, and that is to bring a whole fleet of aeroplanes down here so that there will be one for each fair flyer. "Just think." she said, "of the confusion if all of us girls tried to get a place on one small aeroplane." An aeroplane dinner is on the tapis and a miniature airship will be placed before the plate of each guest, while a larger one will be suspended over the table. The aeroplane costume is occupying the minds of the girls quite a little. Hair Soals and Fur Seals. The fur seal has a sharper nose thn: the hair or harbor seal, and both it swimming flippers .and Its tall flipper are, proportionately to Its body, muc' longer than those of the harbor sea' The harbor seal, when it rests c: sleeps, climbs out on the rocks, or, ir winter, on a cake of Ice. The fur cd a far wider -traveler, sleeps nore or the water, and when it sleeps it fold the long tall flippers up on the bod.1 between Its side flippers, presenting thus a curious appearance, quite unlike the harbor seal.
