The Societa Operaia di Mutuo Soccorso Trivigno Magherita di Savoia, at its last meeting on May 6, after having voted $40 for the Vesuvius victims and $20 for the victims of California, discussed another question that to us seems of great importance.

The Society decided there will be no more parading when a member dies, but instead one fourth of the members will ride in carriages. This is brought to the attention of the public so that other societies may follow suit.

This decision by the Margherita is a worthy one from every angle.
