' delta Bad Killed 18 Peraonn
Considered a Demlsjod by
Ike People.
Whut a career of criir.e, bloody and
vengeful, it is in which has indulged
the last of Italy's bandits, to the great
joy of south Italy peasants and the
amusement of the civilized nations.
I'.orn of a family more or less affected
with brain trouble and otherwise ab
normal, GuUeppe Musolino, epileptic
siuce childhood, started on his ca
reer of crime when, at the age of II,
he inflicted a mortal wound upon a
companion with whom he had quar
reled. For this net lie was imprisoned
for several jears. I'pon his release he
was accused rather naturally of most
of the crimes of any neighborhood in
which he happened to be. At the age
of 13 he threatened his father so seri
ously that the protection of cara
bineers was asked. Two years later
he joined the local : : '.- . tf that in
fnmctls society, l.-e "Malia." which in
the southern part rf ilaly is known
as the Piceaotherin or "bad life."
Musolino had a rival for the leader
ship of the Ticeaotheria, whom he
killed. This was October 27. 1897.
This man, Zoccoli, and his relat ives of
the same name seem to have been the
Nemesis which drove MiiRolino on to
his .career of crime and brigandage.
In hiR trial for the killing of Zoccoli.
Musolino'x companions in the "Mafia"
did not observe the usual custom of
secrecy, but gave witness against him.
This was the additional bitterness
wliich made him vow to get revenege
on anyone who had been in any way
connected with his arrest and trial.
His sentence was for 21 years of hard
labor, but in less than four months
Musolino escaped and retreated to the
forest where he started on his cnre.er
of vendetta, lie at once let his fam-
KMeaea Kaleaaw.

(Italian Peasants Consider This llandlt
Chief a Uerjilgud.)
ily know that lie was free, and they
and his many sympathizers supplied
him with food and clothing. Twenty
days after his escape, learning that
one of the witnesses at his trial lived
in the neighborhood, lie made his way
to his cottage. I'pon Ihe door being
opened bv Hie witness' wife, he shot
flier deatl and then killed her husband.
Then he laid in wait for Zoccoli, but.
instead, Zoccoli's brother appeared,
and was immediately shot. 1 1 is next
victim was n peasant who had assist
ed in his arrest. He warned, by shoot
ing in the legs, various persons whom
lie thought might inform against him,
and in this manner .terrorizing some,
appealing to the prejudices of others,
and to the superstition of most, he
procured immunity from immediate
arrest, it being said that at one time,
for a period of many months, he could
count on the aid and support of 150,
000 people, against the efforts of the
600 police and gendarmes sent to ar
rest him. Musolino contemptuously
denies that he ever killed anyone who
had not a clear chance to take hiR own
life, and ever waged war in an under
hand mnnner. ficfore his arrest,
which did not occur for another two
years and eight months, he put to
death in all 19 persons included in his
scheme of life-long vendetta.
The curious side of his career, says
Current Literature, is the fact that
Slufolino convinced the people of the
southern provinces, the wealthy and
enlightened as well as the poorer and
more ignorant classes, that he was
siipernaturally aided and was immune
from death by the authorities. The
southern imagination at once took
hold of his adventurous career, em
bellished it with romance and threw
around it a glamor which makes him,
even now, w hile in prison, serving the
life-term fixed by his recent convic
tion, n hern, a demigod and a martyr.
The Sultan's Simple Diet.
The sultan's diet is very simple. He
eats very little of the plainest food
and never touches wine or liquors of
any kind but consumes enormous
quantities of coffee, which aggra
vates his nervousness. Up to a few
years ago a servant with a coffee pot
always followed him when he went
ou for exercise, nnd while driving
in the park coffee stations were
placed at frequent intervnls, where
he could stop and refresh himself.
By the advice of his physicians he
now limits himself to five or six cups
of his favorite beverage a day, and
it is said that he has himself noticed
an improvement in Ills health. He is
not so nervous and sleeps better.
