They sailed' from Leghorn for
V
America in May, 1850. Ossoli's
spirit was broken by the failure of
the revolution, and when their ship
was wrecked off Fire Island beach
just as they were approaching New
York harbor he made no attempt to,
save his own life or- that of their
child. No one knew exactly what
happened as the ship was breaking
up under the pounding of the waves,
but it is said that his wife also was
lost through her failure to make an
effort to save herself. With her
sank too the manuscript of her ac-1
count of the Roman revolution, an ex
haustive work based upon her per
sonal knowledge and experience and '
her acquaintance with its chief ac-1
tors, a work which was an irrepar
able loss to the historical literature
of the period.
Brady and Hylan.
The charge was made by William I
A. Brady at a dinner on Sundayi
night that indecent plays are pro-'
duced in New York because of "rot-1
ten politics on the part of Mayor
Hylan'k administration." Mr. Brady
added that he would tell Mr. Hylan
"right to his face" where the fault
lay.
To this Mayor Hylan replies with
dignity that he will be glad to hear
Mr. Bkady at any time and that .he
will have the reporters present to
listen to the discussion. This is
much more sensible than denouncing
Mr. Brady as a Tool of the Interests
or a Plunderer of the Plain People,
titles which the Mayor usually con
fers upon those who criticize his ad
ministration.
Many persons will agree with Mr.
Brady's statament that the city ad
ministration is to blame because it
has the power to prevent improper
productions. PerWaps the Mayor
will b?*able to dissipate this idea.
