If Main street does not want to be passed it must bestir itself.

Kvery year thousands of Americans travel in Italy freely spend-in- g their money in Venice, Home, Na-ples and other cities, while in return wo get from that peninsula pauper workmen, mafia, vendetta, banditti and other social outcasts, carrying de-gradation wherever they go. A New York paper only a few days ago cried out for legislation prohibiting child marriage, resulting from the discovery that Italian girls of l: years of age were sold in matrimony. What a pretty inlluence this sort of im-migration must have upon the morals of other people. If the Italian government would agree to recall all its subject, together with its minister, and keep them at. home, we might be willing to negotiate for indemnity. TIIK KKCAI.L OK FAVA. When Chispi retired from the Italian cabinet and jk Hl DlM assumed the duty it was believed that his tenure of olliee would be brief. The trouble is not a lack of confidence in the premier but a lack of means to carry on an ex-pensive government. So long as Italy aspires to a commanding positiou in the concert of Kuropo 80 long has she to keep in a high .state of armament although her finances do not warrant it. In this dilemma it is not impossible thai Signor KriiNi resorts to jingoism iu order to arouse the patriotism of his countrymen and at the same time dem-onstrate the possibility of a war so as lo stimulate them to extraordinary sac-rilic- That the recall of from Wash-ington is a menace of war we do not In the first place there is no cause for it. The American government has b"en courteous to tho Italian govern-ment in the treatment of the New Or-leans troubie. It is certain that a ma-jority of the murdered Italiaus were naturalized citizens of this country, aud it t certain but what all of thern were. If liiis provo the case, then the government of King Hi MBKlif has about as much claim for indemnity as the government of Siam has. If a number of the victims were still sub-jects of the king then the investigation now in progress will show 'it. No re-call of any minister will hasten or in- - - Iluenci! this action. The state of Louis-iana has sole jurisdiction of the matter nnd all the general government can do is to keep Italy advised of the proceed-ings. Italy's game is a mere game of bluff. She has not the means to go to war and if she had she would not care to engage in an unequal war with us, or if she cared, she would still bo unable to spare her navy from home. In the face . of these facts the conduct of the ad-ministration in Washington is com-mendable for its moderation and dig- - nity. If, however, the foolish recall of Min-ister Fava shall have the effect of modifying our immigration Jaws bo as to keep out the hordes of Italiaus who coiuu to this country uud, liv- - THE SALT LAKE TIMES.

Woman's Journal. A SLEEPING BEAUTY. Boraarkable Lethargy of a Young Woman lu Illinois Who Is Nearly Head. One of the strangest and most interest-ing cases to tho medical profession as well us to tho people is that of Miss Grace Gridley, a pretty young lady of Ami;.--, Ills. Iler singular case has called the attention of the medical pro-fession far and wide, and they have thus far been unable to solve tho mystery. Your correspondent culled ut the home of the'purents at Amboy, and wits met at the door by Mrs. Gridley, a motherly woman, who, when told of tho errand, suid: "It is very embarrassing for ns, and we have felt delicate in saying anything to strangers about our dear Grace. There is hardly a mail thut does not bring let-ters of advice and inquiries from doctors and strangers from all over the country. Wo have asked tho local papers to re-spect us in our sad ltrrenvement and say nothing about the matter, and they have respected onr request, but, as yon say, there have Wn reports in other papers, and I don't know but that it would lie best to have something like the fiicts ap-pear, though my husband or myself do not. like tho attention of our friends called to onr sad trial. "Grace had a seve re case of la grippe along in February, from which we sup-posed sho had fully recovered, but in March sho bad a relapse which left her languid. Sho was always a bright, act-ive child of a nervous temperament. She is now over 2- - years of ago. We first no-ticed that, contrary to her usual custom, she wanted to lie in bed in the morning, which gradually grew upon her until on the 1st of April wu were unable to arouse her. "Medical assistance wi'.s called in, und not until a strong current of electricity had been applied did sho awake. She re-mained awako for two days, and on the third wo again had to resort to electrici-ty. Sho awoko with a scream, and said: TlnrTr. An tlmt- - it. hurts him so! Mamma. I don't want to wake; I am so comfort-able. I understand and know everything that is goinj; on iiround me.' and she sank back in that dreadful lethargy you find her in today. , "Yes, she got ont of bed once. It was several days after tho second applica-tion of tlio battery, and wo found her iu the front parlor vr room is upstairs by the window with an open liiblo on her lap. She turned the leaves restless-ly, but did not seem to read. I am sure she did not know what sho was doing, and sho did not seem to recognize mo when I led her back to her room. Sho seems conscious at times, and to this day seems to notice the presence of a stranger in tho room, ns tho presence of any but the family seems to distress her." When asked if it had not been report-ed that the strange illness had been brought on by religious excitement at a revival, Mrs. Oridley said: "There has been such a report, but there is no truth in it, though Grace is an ardent Chris-tian and a member of the church. She has not attended any revivals for a year, and was never unduly excited over religion." Miss Oridley is slowly wasting away, tlemgh she i given liquid food about every three hours, and swallows uatu? rally. At times she seems to be awake, 0X'iiing her eyes about a quarter of the way. Sho turns herself in the bed and seems to have control of her limbs. "When she had opened her eyes," said Mrs. Oridley, "wo have earnestly asked, even implored, Grace to make some sign, a movement of hand or eye, or to do something to show that she recognizes us, but she makes no sign.

In some respects the scope of the late census was too wide, uecesMtaiiutr work which gave cause to no end of complaints, especially m tho enuineration of people. Ju other re-spects the new features serve as an source of interest ami benelit. Thus for instance thiMin eslij;alion of truck tannine; is a novel thine; never before niaile.

Upwards ot $1U0,(MI;),0!I0 are invested in the industry w hich is rapidly on tho increase. Tnick-farniin- s as considered in this report i" distinct from market garden-in. The latter is carried on in inline- - diate connection with local markets, the grower himself transpnrtin r h'n products direct to the retailer o;- - con-sumer. Tho truck farmini; of which the census returns have been obtained is tho growing of fruit and vegetables in favored localities for distribution lo markets at any distance within the range of transportation for perishable freight. Florida sends early vegetables to New York and Boston, and Califor-nia sends her products to Si. Louis. Chi-cago and farther east. Such is the di-versity of climate in the great area of the United Stales that the peculiar ad-vantages of a host of localities are given their turn of profit, and every year there is a cycle of production giv-ing various sections their turn in sup-plying the markets. In this vicinity the industry is prac-tically ignored. While remote iroiu the centers of population lo which truck farming is tributary, we still ne-glect what we may possess and depend on California for our home supply which by systematic and scientific cul-tivation we might in part at least cover. It needs but a drive down into the val-ley lo see how neglected, for instance, our orchards are which iu times past were noted for their luscious fruit, among them certain varieties of peaches that had attained a wide reputation. A litle reform iu garden and orchard culture would bo a marvelous help. AKSIVALS AKD0L0SE OF MAILS. Bihrduleof arrival and eloslns of raalli al C'.tv Hi stoffl.ip, So'-- . V. ISA): MAILS.

Mrs. Mary Raybnrn, an nged lady from the lower part of this comity, is on the way to Alabama to visit a sister, from whom she has been separated for sixty-thre- e years. They were separated when 'they were small prirls, and have not heard from each other since the war. They corresponded during the war, l.mt by gome means their corre-spondence ceased, and until a few months atfo each one thought the other dead. Two or three mouths ago Mr. Robinson, a Confederate veteran and a native of this county, attended a re-union of the veterans, and when ho left Alabama the sister over there risked him to inquire if Mrs. Raybnrn was still liv-ing, and to his surpriso ho found her in her seventy-sevent- h year, aud us spry as when forty years younger. A correspondence liotween the aged and long separated sisters was renewed, nnd Mrs. Raybnrn concluded to pay her sinter a visit. So, by herself, she left for Alabama. Mrs. Raybnrn remarked that there would be a happy meeting when she reached her sister's homo. Mrs. Ray-bur- n will bring her sister back with her to tho home of their childhood days. Warrenton (Oa.)

The .special object of the apparatus is to enable a fall report of games to lw made in sight of a large number of pooplo and at the same time to dispense with one or more of the assistants now required iu reporting such games. This device is intended not only to indicate tho progress of (lis- - taut games, but actually to bo used at the opposite end of the ball held from the L'rand stand, in order to enli.L'hten the spectators on many points on which they are liable to be momentarily in doubt. Spectators coming in late are often unable to ascertain the number of innings played, the utrilr ut the but, tho number (r balls niuffltrikes called, etc., aud even those already on tho ground sometimes find it difficult to de- - whether the umpire has called a strike or a ball. Ail these weighty issues, upon which tho baseball enthusi- - ast e.onds such intense solicitude, can now be clearly and reliably recorded, and all anxiety and uncertainty can bo removed by a glance at the exhibition bo:ird placed in sight of tho spectators, tho indicators en which are electrically controlled and operated by an experi-enced person located close to the dia-mond.

On the evening of May !.':3 tho moon will rise in eclipse at five minutes to 8, but the shadow will for the greater part have already passed away, and it is only in eastern countries aud at the antipodes that her face that evening will by seen wholly obscured. It will bo otlvTwise with the total eclipse of our sKtellito, which will begin at thirty-fiv- e niitiutes past 10 on Nov. 1.1 next. This, as tho almanacs tell us, will be "entirely visible at Greenwich," whither, no doubt, tho legendary cock-ney will once more betake himself in time to witness tho phenomenon. There will bo two solar eclipses one annular, and visible in this country as a partial eclipse on the upper limb, begin-ning at two iniuu1.es past 5 on June C; the other a partial eclipse on Deo. 1, which will be visible chietly in the South Pacific. Besides these there will be, on May 10, a transit of Mercury over 1 he sun's disk, which will bo only partially visible in this part of tho globe. Science Notes. IT PAYS TO PAVE. Somebody has published a table show-ing the comparative deith rates of all the largo cities in Europe und Amerie from which it appears that Denver, due to an epidemic of typhoid fever and diphtheria, is next to tho unhealthiest city in the union, and tho Denver News commenting op this sad f ict, charges the incompetent or corrupt city govern-ment with the responsibility because it persists in keeping the streets and al-leys in a filthy state and the sewerage in a bad condition. The News claims t hat Denver has expended nearly $:10,000 in those improvements wilhin a year but that the funds have been wasted by corrupt ollieials. I'rom this distance we are better pre-pared to judge the matter without prej-udice. Tho mistake Denver has made is in patching up her streets the same ss Salt Lake is doing, instead of paving them. She h at last coining to her senses. It costs more money in the end and resuits in less satisfactory work to be constantly digging in the streets and accomplishing no permanent good. Pavements take money but the lack of them takes that and a host of innocent lives besides. Which is cheaper iu the end? Whatever may be the first cost of paving, it is more than compensated for by the enhanced value in property, by the improved appearance of, the city, by the greater healthfulness 'and the easier and therefore cheaper way of keeping the streets clean.

The gentiles have never elected any w ard ollicers and therefore the price of real estate could not have advanced on that account. It h is ad-vanced, however, for natural reasons, a nil because a little over a year ajio a liberal government was installed which is endeavoring lo pive us such improvements ns made Omaha what she is today, notwithstanding her resources are not one-fourt- so great or varied as ours. Mereover, there has been only one election in this city "in the last year or tw o," or at any time, in which the liberal parly scored an success. The liee should re-strict itself to granger politics. Hon- - Mm. llarr Cumn to Write. Mrs. Amelia E. Barr, who now divides her talents between The New York Ledger and The Century, is said to make more money than does the chief justice of the United States. She is the daugh-ter of a Church of England clergyman, and grew up and married across tlie sea. Upon first coining to America the fami-ly settled in Texas. There yellow fever carried ott tho husband and sons. Mrs. Barr came north and got a place as teacher. One day at a dinner party a man beside her said. 'Tf you could write as you talk you might make a living by it." The result was n short story in The Christian Union. Tho Texas experience furnished the local color for "Hemember the Alamo," which, however, is far from being Mrs. Burr's best book. Indeed tho story is so nunienea wnn nisiory that it drags throughout, and in spots is distinctly tiresome. However, it sells, nnd the juggling of tho guinea helps all hurt that art may feel. New York Let-- ter. Odil Journey of a Tree. A stately elm tree is being moved sev-eral niilws to (iraceland cemetery, and since it began its travels, which are about half over, it has killed one man and slightly injured several others. The tree grew about thrive mill's from G rosso IVint, and is destined to adorn a lot where a Mr. Latbrop is buried. It was dug up about a month ago, the earth around its roots boxed up, and it whs placed in a standing position upon a plat-form moving upon rollers. The plat-form is pulled along by liorses. During the process of changing the supports the other day a laborer was crushed tc death under falling beam. It is esti-- ! mated that when placed in the cemetery the tree will have cost not less than J,5U0. Chicago Tribune. A viiioiiut s discussion is going on over the bill now before tho New York legislature which would forbid sending any delinquent child in future to Ran-dall's island or Rochester unless guilty of felony. This measure has received the cordial support of the state board of ' charities, and seems based upon a sen- - timent of broad humanity. The great object of the bill is to prevent the clouding of a child's future by a com-- I mitnient to an institution as a punish- - ment for crime. Children of lend r years who may have wandered from the narrow path are certainly belter off in houses of refuge than in institu- - tions which carry tho prison stigma with them. i To I'rntm--t Lamp t'hirtn, j b. The season is just on us when lamp chimneys break iu spite of nil precau-tions, and cause people to use bad lan-guage who are usually above such weak-ness. The ut stal remedy or preventive recommended is to chip a fragment out of the glass to allow for expansion. Nine j times out of ten the glass is cracked by the process and destruction expedited. If tho chimney is washed in coal oil and never evt n wiped with a damp cloth it will bo practically indestructible, and will smoke jet black before it will crack, I have recommended this remedy to cus--' turners for years, and have never heard of its failing. Interview in St. Louis G t. An Organiser's Month's Work. At the December meeting of the exec-utive committee of the Massachusetts V. S. A., the state organizer, Mrs. E. A.

Spencer, Oxford and South Framinghain, where there are no leagues; had distributed 1,31)0 pages of literature, and had received encourag-ing letters from Ayer, Andover, North Abington, North Brookfield and South Hanson. A league will probably be formed in Clinton. Woman's Journal.

Philadelphia Ledger. Either American IIdke or the war correspondent is a liar. One denies and the other asserts that there will be trouble in the spring. We give the benefit of the doubt to Americas House.
