Heart of Italy’s Ruler.
MURDERER WAS QUICKLY SEIZED
King Had Just Entered His Car
riage at Monza When Three
Revolver shots Were Fir
ed In Quick Succession.
According to dispatches, King Hum
bert of Italy has been assassinated.
He was shot at Monza Sunday even
ing at 10:45 o’clock by a man named
Angelo Bressi, and died in a few min
utes.
The king had been attending a dis
tribution of prizes in connection
with a gymnastic competition which
took place about 10 o’clock.
He had just entered his carriage
with his aide-de-camp, amid the cheers
of the crowd, when he was struck by
three revolver shots fired in quick suc
cession. One pierced the heart of his
majesty, who fell back and expired in
a few minutes.
The assassin was immediately ar
rested and was with some difficulty
saved from the fury of the populace.
He gave his name as Angelo Bressi,
describing himself as of Prato, in Tus
cany.
Humbert was the eldest son of Vic
tor Emauuel and on the death of his
father, in 1878, succeeded to the
throne. He was liked by his snbjects
and was very popular.
CABINET SUMMONED.
News of the terrible event was not
received in Rome until midnight.
Signor Saraco, the premier, immedi
ately summoned a meeting of the cab
inet and the ministers will start at the
earliest possible moment for Monza.

ISLANDS WERE LEFT OUT.
United States Arranges to Buy Omitted
Fart of Philippines.
Arrangements have practically been
completed for the purchase from Spain
by the United States of the islands of
Cibitu and Cagayen, which were left
in Spanish possession by tli9 treaty of
Paris although part of the Philippines
archipelago. The purchase price is
said to be §IOO,OOO.
Had the peace commissioners at
Paris, in arranging for the relinquish
ment to the United States of the Phil
ippines contented themselves with the
phraseology, “The Philippine Archipe
lago,” as descriptive of the territory to
be ceded to the United States by Spain,
no question, perhaps, would have
arises over the possession of Cibitu
and Cagayen islands. But to avoid
the least chance of loose definition,the
peace commissioners drew a geograph
ical boundary line around the islands
to be transferred. The bounds were
fixed by meridians of longitude and
parrailels of latitude, and in this way
the two small islands were uninten
tionally left out.
LIVELY IX NORTH STATE.
Tar Heels Kclegate Everything In the
Excitement of Heated Campaign.
A special from Raleigh, N. C., says:
From one end of the state to the other
the one theme of conversation with
men, women and children is the cam
paign just closing. It has been the
liveliest, the most heated campaign iu
the history of the old North State,
eclipsing by far the struggle of 1898;
and as the day of election draws near,
the interest has reached the fever
point.
The Charlotte Observer prints special
dispatohes from every county in North
Carolina forecasting the result of the
state election, showing that the pro
posed constitutional amendment and
the Democratic ticket will have over
40,000 majority.

How to Keep Cool.
Here is a brand-new plan for stand
ing off the summer heat: Convert your
clothes press into an ice box. I have
tried it with success. Keep your un
dear wear, trousers, shirts and coats in
water-tight compartments as near the
ice as possible. Moths will not enter
and thieves will never think of going
there to steal After the morning’s
tub, Jump serenely into ice-cold
clothes and you will be cool all day.
The average man, after a bath In cold
water, feeling like a fighting cock, gets
into heated garments and is immedi
ately miserable these wilting days.
There is much virtue in ice. even at the
prevailing price—Victor Smith in New

New York's Unknown Millionaire*.
A Wall Street man who has been
making up & list of old unsettled es
tates in New York City said that until
he began the work he had no adequate
appreciation of the great weulth of
this city. "For instance,” he said, ‘T
discovered an estate last week which
amounts to a good deal more than a
million and when the man who owned
it died suddenly several years ago no
one knew him outside of a lfttle circle
of family friends. He was born in
New York City and lived here all his
life with real estate valued at more
than a million dollars in his name and
yet he never figured in any of the
lists of wealthy men. Of course the
Fnyerweather estate was a striking
example of unexpected wealth, but
there are many others which foot up in
the millions and of which the public
knows nothing. There is no way to
get a directory of these valuable es
tates. Many of the trust companies
have lists of them, which they guard
closely. My information has been
gained by following up all sorts of
clues and old records and if I decided
to publish it, after it had served my
purpose, It would make interesting
reading.—New York Sun.
O-I-C
When a preparation has an advertised rep
utation that is world-wide, it means that
preparation is meritorious. If you go into
a store to buy an article that has achieved
universal popularity like Cascarets Candy
Cathartic for example, you feel it has the
endorsement of the world. The judgment
of the people is infallible because it is im
personal. The retailer who wants to sell
you “something else” in place of the ar
ticle you ask for has an ax to grind. Don’t
it sta and to reason? He’s trying to sell
something that is not what he represents it
to be. Why? Because he expects to de
rive an extra profit out of your credulity.
Are you easy? Don’t you sefe through his
little game? The man who will try and sell
you a substitute for Cascarets is a fraud.
Beware of him ! He Is trying to steal the
honestly earned benefits of a reputation
which another business man has paid for,
and if his conscience will allow him to go
so far, he will go farther. If he cheats
his customer in one way, he will in an
other and it is not safe to do business with
him. Beware of the C’ascaret substitutor!
Remember Cascarets are never sold in
bulk but in metal boxes with the long
tailed “C” cm every hex and each tablet
stamped C. C. C.
