. ROME, September 9'~—Flve persons
were killed and ten were wounded yes-
terdny. in a conflict between troops
and striker , at Candela, a small town
i Apulia, in the extreme southeastern
part of Italy. Owing to a dispute on a
, question of wages, four hundred peas-
Santa stopped work yesterday The
strikers occupied all the roads in the
district, and prevented others from
proceeding to their work. The gen-
»dat'nis, in attempting to intervene,
were assailed with stones and sticks,
and acorporal was severely wounded.
Troops were then called out, and were
received with volleys of stones. which
felled several of the soldiers. Two of
the latter were disarmed by tne Iioters
who walked (lit with their rifles and
,‘ revolvers The troaps then fircd. kill-
ing five strikers and wounding ten. An
‘ official of the ministry of the interior
has gone to Candela to open an in—

_ Many celebrated stamp collectors arc
‘ just now concentrating their energies
on collections of stamps of the Vic-
toria era. Such a collection posseses
. singular interest, for it willanot only
illustrate the artistic progress that has
been made in designs since the innug~
uration of the postage stamp, but it
Will also demonstrate in a fascinating
fashion the expansion of the British
empire.
"‘1 take it there were about 20,000
distinct and representative issues
throughout the British empire during
the reign of Queen Victoria.” said 1". R.
, r‘ ~Ginn, the well-known stamp dealer of
V 143 Strand, W. C., to an Express rcprrL
sentative. "This number," he added,
"does not " of course, include \aria-
tions of type or varieties rare on ac-
count of a misprint or other trivial pe-
culiarity. Already there is a run on
.Victorian stamps of. a high value. For
instance, a canceled fivc- pound stamp
selling a few weeks ago at 25s., is now
~ worth 358. An absolutely pcrt’crt col
' lection of the Victorian era would have.
to include a British Quiana pink cir-
cular stamp. which it is practically
impossible to purrihnso in the open
market, and the Mauritius pustofilcc
stamp, which is worth several lIu'I~
drcd pounds sterling.

THE HORSE-
Every little while they tell us tlIat the

When the bike craze first got started
people told us right away.
As you probably remember, that the
horse had saw his day.
People put away their buggies
went kitirr' ‘round on wheels;
There were lots and lots of horses
didn't even earn their meals.
I used to stand and watch ’cm with
their bloomers as they'd ilit,
And [thought the horse was goin’
But
he
ain‘t

and
Then they got the horsclcss carriage,
and they said the horse was done
And the story's been repeated 20 times
by Edison
Every time he sits another of his bat-
teries to go,
He comes wh'oopin' out. to tell us that
the. horse don't stand a show.

Pupils of the “school" in the state
prison at Sing Sing are an interesting
lot to even a disinterested spectator.
All the nationalities are assembled in
this schoolroom: most of the faces
are bright and llrmlghti‘ul, and every
countenance cxhibiis a profound atten-
liorr lo the, daily lesson and lecture.
Perhaps it is a mark of diligence
and enthusiasm that each and every
pupil invariably insists that he never
neglects an educational opportunity.
A fcw days since the school teacher
(an inmate) delivered a lecture to his
class upon physiological anatomy. lie
drew the shape of the heart. the lungs,
the liver upon the. blackboard and dc.
scribed the functions of each; and he
courludcd his lecture with especially
interesting and instructive informa-
tion about the kidneys.
'I‘lIc lecture finished, the teacher. In
dwelling upon another matter, had no.
casion to refer to the Bible.
Said he:
"i wish to say to you that, outside of
the. spiritual benefits to be derived
from the Bible. there is Inasmuch of
value to be obtained (rem it at every
man should be thoroughly vorsant
with it. How many of you read the
Bible?”
With the over readiness to exhibit
an enthusiastic affirmative quickly in-
to the air. Even the teacher was as-
toniubed. and perhaps somewhat ludig.
pant. too. ai so many bare-faced lies
on such a sacred subject. for he sud-
denly pointed to a bright-faced italinn
and demanded:
”You read the Bible. do you? Toll
mo of what‘ does the book of Genesis
treat?"
With absolutely no show of hesita-
tion the answer came, loud and
stream
