One of the features of the lesson was a unison singing of "America," in which the Hungarians appeared to good advantage.

New York, Nor. lL-3iovanl de Chi-cblcia, who. until be was compelled to choose between lore and duty, was a lieutenant in the Italian army, committed suicide in the Tombs. His imprisonment wu brought about by his brother Lulgl, a banker of this city. The latter believed Giovani insane.

According to the police records, he fell in lore in Italy and, unable as an army officer to support hie wife as he wished, deserted and sought his fortune as a cowboy in the American west. The venture was not a success, and finally, leaving his wife in their new home, he came to New York to get a fresh start. Again unsuccessful and penniless, he asked 'financial aid of his brother. The meeting of the brothers was not amicable, and at a second interview Giovani was alleged to have peremptorily demanded first $1000 and then $2000 from the banker. He exhibited a revolver and, it Is charged, threatened his brother's life.

The banker wished to have Giovani detained as insane, but the court would not entertain this charge, and the former soldier was held for trial on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. In the Tombs Giovani became despondent, complained bitterly of former friends and constantly grieved for his girl wife, left alon in the west. When the doors were opened to permit the prisoners to go to the yard for their dally exercise, Giovani, who occupied a cell on the third tier, stepped quickly out upon the balcony and then sprang upon the guard rail. He dove head foremost to the stone flagging, 25 feet below. Several hundred prison companions witnesses his death.

How Horsefly on Stereoptioon Plate Startled Jersey Audienoe. While Professor Robert Prentiss, astronomer of Rutgers college, was lecturing on Mars in the Highland Park Reformed church, at New Brunswick, N. the tiler night there was a startling demonstration of the inhabitation of the planet says a special dispatch to the New York Times. The professor had just told all about the canals which carry irrigation to the dried up planet and was showing the canals with the aid of a stereopticon when a monstrous thing was seen to walk upon the landscape and sit down beside a canal as though to take a drink. As Professor Prentiss had just told his audience that Mars was certainly inhabited the effect was startling.

The Martian had many legs and a whole arsenal of weapons strung about him; also he had a flying machine attachment and a horrible head, with wicked eyes that thoroughly realized H. G. Wells conception of the inhabitants of the canal pianet. At length the Martian got up and walked up the canal several thousand miles and sat on the north pole. Professor Prentiss, who was taken aback by the unexpected demonstration, investigated and found a horsefly on his stereopticon glass.

About this time the to a Bill of Fare Students Pretend to Be Liyerwurst, Chicken, Etc Hungarian immigrants gleefully pretended to be liver sausages, pork chops, soup meat and other viands at the Franklin school in Chicago the other night. The fascinating game of "butcher shop," which is one of the devices used to teach them the English language, was in progress, and they entered into it with such spirit that their mouths almost watered over the imaginary edibles. The game is a part of Miss Addie Barrs genial method of getting her pupils interested in the tongue of the land in which their fortunes are thrown, says the Chicago Record-Herald. Practically all o.f the students are adults whose length of residence in the United States ranges from two months to a year, and Miss Barr has invented a system of her own design to give entertainment with the instruction. She is being repaid with large attendance and rapid progress.

"Now we will play butcher shop," said Miss Barr after she had given the class some exercises in writing and pronunciation. "Mr. Vik, will you please be the butcher?" Vlk, a little man with a merry twinkle in his eye, the comedian of the class, came forward enthusiastically and took his stand behind the teacher's table. He rolled up his sleeves, sharpened his knife a ruler and went through other pantomimic business that proved him to be a keen observer with a ready sense of humor. The class enjoyed his performance to the full.

Then Miss Barr selected Rosa, a young girl, to accompany her on the marketing expedition. They approached the grinning butcher and looked over his stock. "Have you some good roast beef? asked Miss Barr. "Yes; fine," Vik responded readily. "Give us five pounds." Vik tore up a piece of paper, weighed it on a pencil box and then wrapped it READ THIS The BEST, is the only kind of Silks good enough for us to sell.

Mr. Hosick was annoyed, and he was making his way back to bed again, when his attention was attracted by an unfamiliar bundle on the dining room table. He looked Into It and found that it contained all the family silverware and many other articles of value. Snatching a revolver from the mantelpiece, he started an investigation and found a man hiding in the comer of the dining room.

Vik thought awhile, with ideas of frenzied finance filling his brain, and then answered: "A dollar and a half." The class shrieked with joy. Miss Barr and Miss Rosa waxed indignant at the butcher's extor A. P.

One of the first tasks they set the new curate, who was handicapped by youth and inexperience, was to investi gate the bona fides of a "widow wo man" who had applied to the church tion and declared- that it was too much. Vik's comic spirit ran ahead of his English, and he could not find words to express his feelings, but his acts spoke volumes. He ruthlessly regained possession of the imaginary roast, put it back on the counter and turned away from his customers with a proud and haughty air. Then the teacher and Miss Rosa flounced away to find another shop. That was the first episode of the butcher shop game.

In the next Miss Barr passed among the pupils, telling them that they were to pretend they were different kinds of meat. One was veal, another pork chops, and so on. The students themselves were eager to represent their favorite dishes. "I'll be liver sausage," said one man. "I'll be shoulder of beef," announced another, grinning from ear to ear.

"I'm a chicken," shouted a six footer with a bristling mustache. The various pieces of meat were written upon the blackboard by Miss Barr, who then asked Hartman, a student who was with her lost year, to come forward. The rules of the game were explained. Hartman was to call out the words at random, and if ha said one three times before the human pork chop or sausage echoed it once the aforesaid sausage or chicken was to stand in the comer until the list had been exhausted. Hartman was too good an English scholar for the incarnated delicatessen store.

At the reception, with which Miss Barr opens her evening class, he was greeted with a comment upon his absence the night before. "I am glad to see you, Mr. Kosma," said Miss Barr. "We missed you last night" "Yes, I didn't get here," answered Kosma haltingly, calling up all his knowledge of English to meet the emergency. "I could not get here.

I was drunk." "I try to teach these people to talk and be happy after their day's work," said Miss Barr at the end of the lesson.
