FEELING INTENSIFIED AGAINST AUSTRIA Itlots Narrowly Averted In Rome on Anniversary of Execution of ber. dank. 'Rome, Dec. 20.-The police of various Italian cities had difficulty to 'day in preventing riotous denionstra tions, at celebrations of the anniver sary of the execution of Oberdank for concoction of the unsuccessful plot to assassinate Emperor Francis .Joseph of Austria Iii 1882. During last night, in violation of orders from the authorities, the streets were placarded with posters eulogizing Oberdank. Leaflets also were distributed, some of them with mourning borders bearing the In scription "Remember the Sacrifice of Oberdank." The republican deputy, Cola Anni was loudly applauded when he de livered a speech reciting the history of the "Tristan -martyr" and his ideals and declaring that it was ne cessary soon -to realize them. The demonstration reached its climax when Ricotti Garibaldi, son of the famous Italian patriot, a-rose and leaning on his crutches, said: "A voice still is ringing from Cap rera Island where my father is buried It asks for facts, not words, from the committee protnoting the enlistment of volunteers." 'As Garibaldi ceased there was a tremendous outburst of applause and cries of "long live Italy!" "Long live Trent;" and "Long live Trieste." Sev eral crowds of demonstrators tried to invade the center of the city, but 'Were prevented from doing so by the police and tfoops. The afternoon the Republican as sociation held a procession and later unveiled a marble tablet in the re publican club, in honor of Oberdank. Rome, Dec. 19.-(Delayed)-A meet ing was held here privately last night to commemorate -the anniversary of the death of the soldier Oberdank. Af terwards, despite efforts of the police, those who had taken part succeeded in reaching the center of the city, shout ing and scuffling with the police. Sev eral persons were arrested and some of the demonstrators slightly injured. The police succeeded in preventing the crowd from approaching the Aus tian embassy and finally dispersed it. Mrs. McClain's Experience With Croup "When my boy, Ray, was small he was subject to croup. and I was al ways alarmed at such times. Cham berlain's Cough Remedy proved far better than any other for this trouble. It always relieved him quickly. I am never without it in the house for I know it is a positive cure for croup," writes Mrs. W. R. McClain, Blairsville, Pa. For sale by all dealers.
