Se darpaieh Eta: Toronto says: With the arrest on. Friday of sev- tn men and one woman, the police | *© believe they have broken up the]: headqnarters of the Black Hand Bociety i si 'Toronto, which for sev- 'eral months past has been keeping te-thinds ot the Italian coloay in central part of the city in a state of terror. As esuld information' gleaned by the police, following the surrender of Frank Griro on a charge of murdering Francesco Sei- sone, Sergeant of Detectives Alex. Mackie and the entire stafi of de- tectives on Friday visited three res- tauran'is igh pin by Italians in York stréet, ahd placed under ar- rest fourteen people, and seized several dirks, letters and other articles. wd those brought to headquarters eight were detained, the remainder being given their freedom after giving satisfactory explanations for their presence in the places. After being examined those detained were taken to the <_ m as certain indiyiduals in te "Tealisk colony learned that Griro was behind the bars they were not slow to a the au- thorities upon some he conidi- tions under which the yoo Black Hand organization was being op- erated in Toronto. Fearing that some of the ringleaders might make their escape the police deemed it best to act promptly in the master. Shortly after 2 o'clock the -detec- tives visited 160 York street, a restaurant conducted by Joe Muse- lino, where.they found seven men and two women; 165 York street, a fruit store, kept by Salvatori Sci- arone, a br r of the murdered man, where there were five. men, and 174 York street, a barber shop, conducted by James Rapola, who admitted selling the revolver to Griro, who fired the fatal shots. Rapola was the only occupant of the place. The prisoners, who were' very excited, when teken to. uar- in Toronto, information conveyed to to the police; the headquarters of the organiza- tion in Toronto was Muselino's restaurant. A few diss ago there arrived in Toronto a sec- ret service detective from Maplets who figured prominently in th famous Camorra trial now in Be: gress in Naples. He was walking along the strect when he recogniz- ed two alleged Black Handers, who escaped from Naples following the commencement of the trial. As soon as they got a glimpse of him} they boarded a street car and got away. This satisfied that they were here for the purpose of op- erating, and their description was al given to the authori- ze Subsequently it was learned that they had been loitering around the places visited by the police in York street, = when the officers lined up the mates in the different places ea two much-sought indi- viduals were not among the num- ber. That the place kept by Muse- lino was used almost exclusively for those connected with the soci- ety as @ meeting place the police feel certain. Muselino formerly kept a restaurant at 125 11th street, Niagara Falls, N.Y., which up till a few months ago was re- cognized as the headquarters of the Camorra Society in Canada. Following the circulation of some mysterious letters on the Niagara frontier, where a large nurtber of Italians were engaged in construc- tion work in connection with the different power plants, Muselino was ordered to close the place and get out of the city. He came di- rect to Toronto, and upened the restaurant on York street, which, it is alleged, was used as a blind to cover up any portions. in To- ronte and vicinity. bO6.6.4.446446 Sees @ -- {T} > me --j rele Ai Al Al, 4 A, A ln. i A A ees ee'e's SHINGLES. A person of an eiymological turn of mind, seeing a case of well- marked 'shingles, with the little blisters so closely set as almost to overlap one a might think @ affection well named from the shingles of a roof, but the word is really a corruption of the Latin cingulum, meaning a girdle. The term was applied because of the|™ arrangement of the eruption, which encircles the body, or one lateral half of it, like a belt. The scien- tific term is zoster, or zona the Greek words for girdle or belt. Shingles, or zoster, is: a skin eruption due to disease of one of the cutaneous nerves which run from the apinal cord round the boc; to the middle'line in front. The eruption slways follows the course of the affected nerve, ceas- ing abruptly at the front, unless the nerves on both sides are af- fected, when in encircles the body just like a girdle. is complete form is fortunately rare. The eruption consists of a suc- cession of hard blisters like those of a cold-sore or tever-biuster, so common on the hps. It begins in the form of reddish patches, upon which pimples and then sma)] blis- ters form. These blisters are ar- ranged in groups along the course of the affected nerve, or they may, in severe cases, run together, forming an almost unbroken line round one-half of the body or face. For the first three or four days the contents of the blisters are watery; then they become cloudy, the patches turn brown, and final- ly dry and form yellowish crusts. For a few days or a week preceding the eruption neuralgic pains are felt in the part to be affected, and during the eruption the pain is of- ten very acute. In children, curi- vusly enough, the pain may be ab- sect. _ The attack is usually ushered in by fever, sometimes slight chills, nad a feeling of genera! illness. Fhe eruption may appear all at cessive crops, taking a week or more for its full development. é most serious form is that of the face, for it often results in se- vere scarring, and may even attack the eyeball. The pain usually sub- sides when the eruption appears. There is no treatment which will certainly cut short the attack, aud the most that can be done usually is to protect the blisters from irri- ttation of the clothing or other in- jury. This is done by applying 'soothing powders of starch or oxid tof zinc, painting the blisters with wollodion, or applying court-plas- ter. After tthe atitack the patient may need tonic treatment for a while. There is generally only one ab:- k. Where there are repeated reourrences there is usually some underlying fault of constitution rom | which calls for careful, syctemaitic medical tremtment.--Youth's Com- panion. +--__--__ NO TWO CENT RATE.

The children did not see him all day, but Bennie woke up from what was like a bad dream' all drenched and shivery, for some one threw a whole bucket of water over him when they saw him act- ing strangely.

All 'she dreamed that night by tthe fire almost came true, for Ben- mie was given to a kind family who lived on a farm. But they did not have everything they wanted them- 'selves. They had plenty of milk, and were surprised when they found that the new cat would not touch a bit of it. They did not have fish so far away from the sea. and |® the butcher's cart came only once a week. They gave him some roast pork, and then some roast mutton. but Bennie turned away with the most disgusted lked off. Then they were puzzled. Was the cat homesick? What would he eat, anyway? He was growing thinner and thinner every day, and his eyes were so hollow and so wist- ful; but they did not know he said "Beefsteak! -beefsteak!" every time he mewed.

But the day before the 'butcher's cart came the poo naughty eat was so hungry that he determined to try and taste the hateful milk. He had just taken one lap and made _ up one face, when Brownie, the next-door neighbor's cat, came over the fence with one bound, pushed the parti- | cular, strange cat to one side, and drank all the cream, as if she en- joyed it and was glad to get any- thing so nice. All the while Ben- nie wate hungrily by. How he wished he could eat everything like that!

They Had Refused to Put Mail Ashore and Went on Strike. A despatch from Montreal says: Fifty -seven men, comprising the entire contingent of first and sec- ond-class stewards on board the Allan Liner Victorian, were ar- rested and driven to jail on the ar- rival of that vessel from Liverpool on Friday evening. Their arrest was due to the fact that they had refused to perform their duties at Rimouski and during the voyage up the river from that point. The en- tire fifty-seven were taken into cus- tody without a blow being struck and without any signs.of trouble, and they seemed somewhat surpris- ed that the company should have called in shore law to settle the dif- ficulty. The trouble started when the vessel arrived at Rimouski on Friday morning and the-stewards refused to assist in putting the mail ashore. This has been a frievance for some time, and was the cause of some little trouble "Taxt year, but since the spring, when' t i Liners took to putting all the mail, except that for the Maritime Prov. inces, -ashore ab Quebec, the a handled at Rimouski has en so small as not to cause trouble ----i--. * HEAT mx oF GERMANY.
