THE OLD, OLD 8TORY RETOLD WITH
MODERN ACCESSOR E& ";' :
A Touf Lieutenant Shot and Killed by
the Brother of the Girl He Loved The
Girl Clue luuos The Murderer Seu-
teneed to Prison for Klre Venn.
In the criminal court of Naples the
story of Romeo' and - Juliet in modern
life -. was; told recently. Lieutenant
r . 1 rrt ix : . m .j .
leryr while stationed in Palermo felt
tarbartolo de Villarosa. a - beautiful
young -woman. The NotarbHitolo fam
ily is among the most powerful in Sicily
where a good deal of the old feudal sys
tern flourishes in spite of the Italian
unity. Donna Maria Bentiragna. Widow
Notarbartolo and the mother ut the
voting woman, had a brother execnteU
hi 1859 for. political offenses. ..anil the
was banisheiU but she returned to Sicity
with tiaribaldi. : ; Although she; Is sixty -four
years of age she administers' tbe
rich patrimony of bet. family. Tbe
beautiful Catherine was her youngest
child v .,,,
The question -before ,the.; court wa
whether the'ybrmg' officer": committed
suicide or was in ureteral by the brother
of the young girl. His body was found
at the door of the Notarbartolo mansion
He had been shot through tbe heart
and a pistol was found at his feet. " The
evidence for the prosecution - was' that
he had been called into the bonne by
Catherine's' old nurse. ,Calogera' Tinni-rello,-
and that Catherine3 brothers, who
were his sworn enemies, had waited for
hinf at the' entrance and had shot him.
Francesco - Notarbartolo.- who was ac
cused of having organized the plot, bad
previously fought a duel with the lover.
If was a' one sided fight, however, in
which all the fury was with Notarbar
tolo. Leone, who was an expert swords
man, foiled all his desperate attacks, and
allowed himself to he wounded rather
than run the risk of killing the brother
of his ladylove. Francesco was also
the recognized chief of the Mafia society
in Palermo. Eleven times he was on
the point of being arrested, but on each
occasion he was saved by the Maha nd
at one time he was concealed in tbe
house of a near relative of tbe chief of
police.
The trial of the case extended through
two years in Palermo, and theu tbe
venue was changed to Naples, where it
lasted for eighty days. Love letters iu
abundance from. Leone to . Catherine
and from Catherine to Leone were read,
in which the tender paasiou was painted
with all the high coloring peculiar to the
Italian school. The brothers Notarbar
tolo did not deny anything of the love
affair between their sister Catherine and
the young officer: they simply confined
themselves' to denial of the charge of.
murder. One oi thein Pietro. declared
in his examinat-.i'm that Leone was com
pletely unknown to him when he re
ceived the following note:
Brav 1 love tout sister Catherine. Pronounce
the last wot If ft should be "No." I give you
Of word Unit i sbalt abide by It and Insist no
longer.
In describing the effect of the letter
Pietro said: -1 spoke of .that letter to
my mother who said; This young , man
is craey. The marriage is impossible. ' I
informed Lieutenant Leone of this decis
ion and advised him to postpone as far as
possible the stupid rfotion- of getting
married.. We parted on ' the best of
terms. A few daysafterward while we
were at dinner, we heard a pistol shot
outside the door. We" came down and
found Leone dead at the door. He had
just sent a bullet through his breast.'
: "The medical reports seem to estab
lish that Leone did not kill himself, bnt
was murdered,' the president of the?
court remarked.
. i"On the contrary." Pietro responded.
"He shot himself in the heart. Lovers
always shoot themselves in the heart
and bankers always shoot themselves in
the head. Whether it is tbe heart or
tbo brain, it is always the affected part
that they aim at."
The old nurse, who carried the letters
of tbe lovers, denied that she induced
Leone to come to the house.
The deposition of Leone, Sr. , the father
of the yonng man. was particularly dra
matic. He said i "When J learned that
my son was in love with one Of the No
tarbartolo young ladies I knew that it
was all over with him. . All the lovers of
the young ladies were killed by the
brothers Notarbartolo. Francesco killed
Boccardo. und his. brother-in-law cdp
pola. J ' - : - - '
"If I struck down Coppola," the ac
cused Francesco interrupted, "it was lie
cause be began to court my sister Con
stance, and theu deserted her to make
love to my sister Maria. . And now poor
Constance ia crazy from love.",'
"You are also accused of having killed
Lieutenant Leone. ..Why did you run
away after the tragedy?" the president
asked. . . .. ... ,.. ...
"Because I knew that 1 would be sus
pected. 1 have already been in prison
for beating policemen, and I know what
it is to be shut up in four walla.'
Other witnesses gave the details of the
duel, in which.;' Leone was kind enough
to allow himself to be wounded by the
brother, of. his expected bride. Letters
were' then? produced to show-that when
the broken, hearted lover were parted
by the orders of the proud' old woman
and of- tne-'.feTOblbi-oiheTS. who sus
tained her decision, Leone for a time ac
cepted hi fate, but on receiving a burn
mgJ aind. ieai document fromCatbe-;
rfaJe beggbig'. bini to -continue his suit
and asking him if x be had ceased to love
her, he. weakened and determined to re
turn to Palermo. His brother officers '
urged him not to go. "They will kill
you, they- BafcL,-i'..:S - -
"Well, let them kill me," Leone said'
;I cant give up mf love." , . .:
' Several of his comrades testified that
he never bad any idea of suicide., The
evidence pointed to- murder, or at least
to manslaughter, for. a quarrel between
Leone and the;, brothers was also de
scribed.. Francesco, Notarbartolo was
sentenced to five' years imprisonment.
Tbe others were acquitted, .and now

cisco Examiner.
Name of the BlUaiasippI Kiver.
An anonymous writer has asserted
that from the mouth of this Ohio to the
source7 Of the Mississippi it was known
as Pe-he-ton-at, an Algonquin significa
tion of abode or habitation of furies.
The same writer asserts that L. M.
Gould is authority for the statement
that an analysis of the word shows that
it does not mean "father of waters."
"Mis-siak" means "grass;" "Mis-sisk-ke-on,"
"weeds;" "Mis-sisk-ke." "medical
herbs," and "Mis-ku-tuk" "the broad
bottom lands" of the river. Thus the
tribes inhabiting the bottom lands were
called Mis-shu-tan or meadow people,
from which the assertion comes that the
literal meaning of the word is "the river
of meadows of grass." But it is believed
that the latter designation is a fanciful
idea, in the light of other and very posi
tive information which has come down
to us.
A Jesuit father (Allonez). who first
made personal acquaintance with the
"NasOuessiouck." speaks of them as liv
ing toward the west, near the great river
called Messipi, a memorable remark, it
being the first time (A. D. 1667) that the
word was noted by any- French writer.
Tt would appear that, if Uroseilliers and
Raddison, to .. whom must be awarded
the honor of discovering the upper waters
of the . river; west of the great akes,
noted the name , in - any diary kept by
them, it was probably lost when Grpseil

from tbe second voyage. Goldthwaite's

G. Washington, Murechal de France..
An interesting bit of history-was told
me lately , by a descendant of Ot. W.
Parke Oustis. : .
It seems that When; in 1781, the Dnited
States sent to France a special embassa
dor some difficulty arose between him
and the French government as to the
command of the combined armies. Colo
nel Laurens, the embassador,-- stated
very firmly that George Washington,
our chief, inust command, vfor it is our
cause; and the battle on our soil." The
etiquette of the' foreign government,
however, exclaimed: "C'est impossible r
for here was Count Rochainbeau, an old
lieutenant general, who could only be
commanded by the king in person or a
marechal de France.
The American wit of Colonel Laurens
flashed upon the situation a - happy
thought. He said: "Make bur Wash
ington a marechal de France and the
difficulty is at an end." It was done.
Mr. Custis continues tha't a friend of his
heard General Washington spoken of as
monsieur lo marechal at the siege of
Yorktown. ' '
. I have heard that in some southern
home there is a treasure, held beyond
price even the antiquity hunter's price,
and he who aspires to buy the bones of
his ancestors an ancient porcelain mug,
on which is- painted an edgy of Wash
ington on horseback, and nnderheath is
this inscription: "George Washington,
Esq.. General in chief of' thf United
States Army and Marshal of France."

The Coinage of Money in France.
For several hundred years and down
to 'a comparatively ' recent date, money
was coined at from twenty-five to thirty
different cities in ' France that had in
herited the privilege. Now all French
money is coined at the Paris mint and
bears, instead of the effigy of some dis
tinguished person, a head representing
the republic, or liberty in . the more
general sense. . . - '-
