"ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE OF LIBERTY." LAPORTE, PENNA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 2 1900. Democrats and Republicans! In fact it matters not with what political party you are affiliated, you should be a Protectionist in one re spect. That is to say you should protect yourselves against loss by the destruction of your property by tire; and what is still more essential, protect your families against the loss of their support by the death of the person who produces that support— the husband the father. This latter protection can be obtained practical ly without expense, since it is pos sible, and in fact compulsory, for the life insurance company to safely in vest the funds paid into their hands, and, after a term of years, return same with profits to policy holders, if living, on demand. This matter should command your seri ous attention. Delay is dangerous and expensive. You will therefore do well to consult the agent in regard to the merits of the I'en 11 Mutual Life Insurance Company of Phila delphia, which is justly reputed to be the most conservative and the most economical as well as the most liberal and equitable in its dealings with policy holders. It is no experiment or adventure but by all odds the safest and best investment you can make, besides furnishing protection to your family. The Pen 11 Mutual is already over ">:s years old and has overrun, ooo,ooo of insurance in force, several hun dred thousand dollars of which is in Sullivan county.

The Kliiu Had Been Atfeiidliiw a 1JI». trlliutlon of l'rlnes at Mootn and Had Jimt Entered Hl* Carriage When Fatal Shot Wna Fired. MONZA, Italy, July 80.—Iviug Hum bert has been ussassinated. He was shot hero last evening by u man limned An gela Brcssi de l'rato and died in a few minutes. The king had been attending a distri bution of prizes in connection with a gymnastic competition. He had just en tered his carriage with his aid-de-camp, amid the cheers of the crowd, when he was struck by three revolver shots fired in quick succession. No special precautions had been taken. Very few police were in attendance, and only n small guard of soldiers was keep ing the way for the carriage. The king, amid the cheers of the crowd, came out smiling, accompanied by his premier aid de-camp, General l'onzio-Vaglia. He had entered the carriage and was just driv ing off wlien the revolver shots were fired in quick succession. Some witnesses as sert that Bresgi was seen just previously waving his hands and cheering. The first shot wounded the king in the neck; the second, the fatal one, pierced his heart, and the third broke the arm ol the already dying sovereign. The assassin was immediately arrested and was with some difficulty saved from the fury of the populace. When Queen Margherita arrived at tin viU.i, it was still hoped that the kins: wo.'Jd survive, and when the truth was broiien to her a heartrending scene en- KINO HUMBERT, sued. Bursting into tears, she ex claimed: "It is the greatest crime of the century. Humbert was good and faithful. No per son could have loved his people more. He was one who bore ill will to none." The assassin's name is variously given as Angelo and Gnetno Bressi. lie wn» born in l'rato Nov. 10. 1st;!), and is a ! weaver by trade. He comes from America, where lie had resided at Faterson, N. ,T. lie siiys lu: had no accomplices and that he com mitted the crime because of his hatred of monarchical institutions. Humbert I, king of Italy, was born March 14, 1844. lie was the son of King Victor Emmanuel and of Queen Adelaide of Austria. In 1808 he was married to his cousin gerrnan, Maria Margaret of Savoy. He succeeded his father as king in 1878 and had made in most respects a model ruler. Victor Kmmanuel, l'rince of Naples, who now succeeds as king of Italy, is .'{l years old, having been born Nov. 11. 1800. He was married four years ago to the Princess Helena of Montenegro, who is 27 years old. They have no chil dren. The Friuce of Naples is very small of stature, has kept to himself a good deal and is by no means popular. Monzu, the scene of the assassination, is a summer resort about nine miles from Milan and is much frequented by the Milanese. The royal palace was built in 1710 by order of the Archduke Ferdi nand of Austria after designs by Pier tnarini. It stands in a beautiful and very large park, surrounded by walls and laid out in many winding drive*. The last attempt upon the life of King Humbert was made on the afternoon of April 22, 1807. The king was proceed ing to the Gampanella race track, when a man approached the carriage on the pretext of presenting a petition to the king. As he reached the carriage doot with a scroll in one hand he drew :t dag ger with the other and lunged at Hum bert. The king parried the blow, and the assailant, who proved to be Pietro Acciarita, an insane young blacksmith, was arrested by the royal escort. The king then went onto the races as it nothing bad occurred and received an ovation. PLOT HATCHED IN AMERICA. Humbert's AIUHIH Formerly Mved i In Pnterson, N. J. I'ATEKSON, N. J., July 31.—The fad that the assassin of King Humbert proves to be a former resident of this place occasioned a little surprise here It has long been suspected that a plot of this sort and magnitude might be hatched among the Italian anarchist! who have formed a settlement here. These Italians are mostly employed it. | the silk mills and some are experts, hav ing engaged in the same industry it ' Italy. Numerous Italian societies are knowc | to exist, though the Patersou police pre tend that the objects or tliese secret or ganizations are unknown to them. There is little doubt that' the plot tc kill King Humbert has been known foi several months in the Italian settlements around New York. It was given world wide publicity two weeks ago by the sui cide of nn anarchist in Paterson whe claimed to have been chosen by lot to dc tho killing. That his position was knowr is proved by the fact that liis compa triots were only prevented from givins him a magnificent funeral by the police. ALL ITALY MOURNS. Qneen Iteicent Proclaims Accexalon of the New Klnfc, ROME, July 31. —Thousands of tele grams have been received from all parti of the country indicative of the deep sor row of the whole nation. Everywhere work was suspended yesterday, and tho bourses and theaters were closed. In the principal cities the municipal author ities are considering plans to honor the memory of the murdered monarch. At Messina a procession marched through the streets cheering for the house of Savoy and the young king. At Palermo an imposing demonstration proceeded in solemn silence to the municipal offices to express the sorrow and indignation of the population, after which a vast crowd cheered the new king. There were sim ilar demonstrations in other towns. A proclamation from the queen regent has arrived announcing the ascension of the new king and stating that pnriiu- VICTOII KM MAXI'HI. 111. ment will lie convoked after iho fu neral. Several warships have started to meet King Victor. it is reported that Em peror William will attend the funeral. The socialists and anarchists have is sued a formal condemnation of the crime. The police have made several arrests of suspected persons on the theory that a conspiracy exists. The socialist organ Avanta accuses tin- government of being the indirect as sassin of the king because of a mistaken policy of dealing with socialists. In con sequence of this tirade the police seized the Avanta. The pope's grief was unmistakable. Assurances have been conveyed to the government that the Vatican will dis courage any attempt to embarrass the ministry. This is the outcome of a ru mor that a dangerous coalition exists be tween the extreme papal partj and the Republicans for the overthrow of the moiia rchy. THE INDIA FAMINE.

Several Spanish merchants came forward and maguani niously offered to provide the neeessar.v security. The raising of the Spanish Hag ovei the Spanish consulate in Matanzas WHS made the occasion of a general fraterni zation between the Spaniards and Cu bans of the city.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT. Llgtitoil Cljiurette Tlirotvii Into Pow der Cause* Kutal Ki|>lo*lf»u. SIMtINGFIELD. Ills.. July 30.—'Ten persons were injured, two fatally, by the premature discharge of the evening gun at the Illinois national guard encamp ment. Camp Lincoln, last evening. The explosion was caused by some one throw ing a lighted cigarette into powder which had fallen to the ground. The accident occurred in the presence of a large crowd of visitors to the camp. Corporal Paisley and Jesse Ruppert. acting quartermaster, were loading the gnu. assisted by several men of Bat tery A. A sack of powder was placed in the mouth of the cannon, and Ruppert was about to drive the charge home. The powder sack was too large for the gun, and in forcing it into the cannon the canvas was torn, and some of the powder fell to the ground just below the nozzle of the cpnnoir. Private Ruppert' stood facing the gun, ramrod in hand. Italsley also faced the gun, and a num ber of soldiers and civilians were gath ered around despite the commands to keep back. Suddenly some one said, "Watch them scatter." There was a flash of powder on the ground. The flame was com municatetd to the powder which was be ing forced into the cannon, and the gun was discharged, the ramrod being bro ken and shot front the cannon. Paisley and Ruppert had their clothes blown from their bodies, which were blackened by powder. Others staggered back, burned and blinded. All of the wounded were taken to hos pitals. Some say it was a man in uni form who threw the cigarette, but Harry Peters, who was an eyewitness of the ex plosion, is of the opinion it was a small boy. Globe Wheeler* Heach \Va*hlnn;toii.
