Kill Tells It tJie House Will Never Give In. That the Senate Bill is Every wTT""f disapproved. OBSTINACl WON'T DO. Tbo House Dill Has the Syni- pathy of Everybodj'. The Press, Democratic Masses antl President Back It. Washington, July 21. Every seat in the galleries was again tilled today when the senate met. Resumption of the heavy firing against the executive was anticipated, Tae strain and excitement wa ahtiost as intense as when the senate conveyed yesterday. The senators them selves were slow in arriving, most of them remaining: in the cloak rooms until the morning business was completed. Senator Vilas of Wisconsin, who was expected to defend the president against onie cf the aspersions cast upon hita yesterday, was, Iwwever, on hand early, uud so was Seuato'rV Hill of New York, who was also billed for a speech. When at IZ 'i, Mr. Harris, the floor manager of the tariff bill, called up th.e conference report almost every seat on the floor was nLetL Mr. Hill was on his feet and was t.t once" recognized for a speech. It was agreed, he said, at the out set, with Mr. Gorman that the Democratic party was in the midst of a great crisis. The -I -jinocratij party after such a long straggle in the minority, had at last been intrusted with power. It had gone to work to redeem the pledges it had made. The greatest of these was that of tar iff, reform. Thu house had parsed a tar iff bill which, aside from the income tax feature, seemed would meet with gener al satisfaction and approval. As it pass ed tha senate, however, after long and weary months cf debate, it was not satis-LK-tory and violated the pledges of the party. It weut to conference. The house conferrees were .confronted with the fact that tho senate had made the bill inconsistent; had made it unworthy of Democratic s upport. They rejectee tae duty on coal and iron ore. They refused to yield and there was no hope ti:at they would yield. If they insisted upon their attitude and the senate was obst.nate. all prospect of tariff i legislation was at end. Hi? (Hill's) mo tion that the senate recede from the coal and iron duties, was in the line of an agreement. It would do no good to ob stinately, adhere to the position taken i when the bill was passed. "Do You See Sigm of Yielding?" 'Do you see s.ny signs of yielding on the part of the house?" he asked, ad dressing his Democratic colleagues. 'Bacited by the public press of the country, by the Democratic masses, and the president of the United States, as it' undoubtedly is, the house will ot-yield. Why not yield on these two points and see whether it does not lead to an agree ment." He was not, be said, talking about Mr. Vilas' motion to recede from the differ ential in favor of the sugar trust. But concessions mint and should be made if the bilr was to become a law. Mr. Hill said he sympathized with the president's letter to Chairman Wilson. Its sentiments were his. The president violated no clause of the constitution when he sent the letter. He had the right to do it It was a private commu nication. The question as to making it public was one to be decided by its sender and receiver. It was not one for the senatcrs to do. No Democrat ou this lloor could controvert the position taken by Mr. Cleveland in that letter. He saw that to place a duty on coal and iron would be to violate the platform declarations of the party and would place the party, whose success he de hired, in a falsa and indefeasible posi tion. The Democrats of the country were in sympitliy with Mr. Cleveland. Democratic ciubs and Democratic con ventions all over the country had in dorsed the Wilson Tiill in respect to free raw materials. On the other hand the senate bill had been received every where with-signs of disapproval, DON'! W ANT HILL THERE. I). mocra! of the nar. Are Golug to Held a Conference. Washington, July 21. The Democrats of the senate intend to hold a conference at 3 o'clock. J; will not be a caucus as that would mean that all senators ghould be invited, as it is desired that Senator Hill should not par ticipate. Ths plan will be to invite the Dem jcrats who voted for the tariff bill to the conference. It will mean also tint there will be nothing binding upon them and that a general consul' -j,- may take place with un in tert ;n "SS -f Views with the hope of reacuiig some agreement. As Boon as as the senate met today, Senator Faikn ir went about the Demo cratic side notifying senators of the con ference) today. When members of the fcteericg comm.ttee were asked as to no tification being extended to Senator Hill, he replied: "This is a conference of friends of the tariff bill aud only the friendly senators will be asked to attend." JImj Turner" Prrirat. Denver, July 24. The 18th biennial convention cf the North American Tur nerbund met as East Turner hall today with about 4 JO delegates present, repre senting neafly every state in the Union. The meeting was called to ordr by President Henry Braun, who delivered his address. The IVeather. .Today is the hottest of the year. At 2 o'clock the thermometer at the govern ment signal service bureau had made its y si jwiy; but with terrible certainty, from 67 at 7 o'clock up to 99 degrees. It's about as hot as it gets and fortunately so. WHO THE RIOTERS ARE. The Idle and Vicious From Europe, Say Ereii Hlrtr li. Chicago, July 24. Fred Ilirsch of Frunkfort-on-the-Main, Germany. Las been in Chicago several days and has been a witness of many of the strike episodes, at which he has much marvel ed. Next to the Krupp works, Mr. Hirsch represents the largest steel works and arms manufacturers ia the world, employing as he said, "no less than 12, OUO mechnuics and other workmen." "I am,"' said he, "amazed at ttie discon tent manifested among the working peo ple of this country, and especially at that phase of it that has manifested itself in riots and acts of violence. In my coun try, Belgium, where the people are the least governed ia the world, such rioting as has occurred day aft.jr day in this great city, would not have been tolerated, or rather endured. There would have been somebody hurt, the mob speedily dispersed and the rioters arrested aud swiftly punished. "As I have said, we employ 12,000 men and they are industrious, contented and trustworthy men; and 1 want to bay that I have observed in this country men of my own country who were never al le to earn more than sixty-rive centr a day in your money, receiving $1.25 and $1.59 aud more per day. yet they are dissatis fied, and I am sorry to say that they are among the most riotous nul lawless, es pecially as 1 am informed, in the coal regions. I cau in part account for this. They were the most un desirable of our population, little inclin ed to work, preferring idleness and when they did work they were not able to earn much. It is this clas3 that emigrated to this country, and they have been assisted away from home because they were a burden upon the industrious and provi dent people of our eouptry. There un desirable, here they have become a menace. 'It seems strange to me that your riot ers are not dealt with promptly aud posi tively. "The labor conditions hive adjusted" themselves largely in liurope. The law ordains the settlement of ditliculties between employer aud employe. But when the difficulty is settled by law neither employer nor employe dare dis pute it." LOSS TO STOCK YARDS. A. Little C'tiurce Wlitoli lis l.ot the YrU lOO.OOU Cattle. Chicago, July 24. As soon as the pres ent strike at the stock yards is over, the officials of the stock .yar 1 company may turn their attention to a new tight they have shelved for the present, the $2 terminal charges on stock received at the yards. Tlio rule levying a $2 tax has been in vogue only since J une 1 of the present year and it has causwd among shippers to the market as much trouble as the strike has caused the stock yards officials. Conservative com mitteemen assert that it" has already driven stock from the Chicago market to other markets, in cattle alone fully 100, 000 head. The committeemen are an gry over it, and their patrons, the farm ers, feel worse. Ttie plan is a new one and the committee say it was created with only one idea, to make money at the expense of the farmer for the people who have $23,000,000 invested in the property." May 14 the stoch yards companies no tified the railroad that tuey would make the same tracknge charge on live stock cars, both loadd and empty, passing over the company's tracks, and that the charge was lixed at about, $1.20. The railway people replied by notifying their atrents to place a "terminal charge" of 2 on each car. IT LOOKS LIKE POLITICS. OoTernor Mcfwlnley? ex-Oovernor Alger and Oilier. Meet at Cleveland. Cleveland, O., July 24. Ooverner William McKinley, of Ohio, ex-Governor William R. Merriam of. Minnesota, and ex-Uoveruor Kussell A. Alger, of Michi gan, are all guests at the present time of Hon. Mark A. Hanna, of this city. There is more or leas gossip in circula tion to the effect that the gentlemen have met here in conference, and that the meeting ha considerable political signiticance, or in other words that Gov ernor McKinley's presidential possibili ties are under consideration. To an Associated Press representative who called at Mr. Hanna's resilience, however, the latter declared that the presence of the three gentlemen named had no special siguiticar.ee. "Then you have lost faita in Governor McKinley's political future?" Mr. Hanna was asked. "Not in the least. I Lave every cause to hope that a Kepublica.i president may succeed the preaeut executive, and I be lieve the trend of political events points very strongly to Governor .McKinley be ing the man. The Democrats certainly seem to be doing all tuey can to help things along." "Who do you think will be selected to fill out the ticket in the event of Gov ernor McKinley's nomination':" Oh, that is too far eff to talk about. If you have ever attended a national con vention you know combinations are made on very short notice at t.m s." "Governor McKiuley was next seen and when asked if his visit had any political signilicauce said: -Oil, no. None whatever. I have just run away from my work for a little while, that is alL It has been terribly hot in Columbus recently, and I have been very busy. 1 needed a little rest, so I ran away for a few days." Governor McKiuley will deliver an ad dress to the Tippecanoe cl ib of this city tomorrow night. lr. Cook'fl Arctic Expedition. St. Johns, N. F., July 24. Dr. Cook's Arctic expedition returned to this port today, the steamer Mirani havicg been damaged iu a collision wita an iceberg. Ihe Lniversityof Pennsylvania Labra dor exploring p irty was lauded at Cape Charles. The M irauda will be thoroughly overhauled here aud will probably pro ceed to Greenland in a few days. All on board are well. The Statk Jochnal's Want and Mis cellaneous columns reach each working day in the week more than twice as many Topeka people as can be reached through any other paper. This ia fact. TO UillTE ALL LABOR A Monster Labor Union is Started in Chicago. To Include All Workmen in the Country. Except Railroaders. IT IS CALLED THE A.L.U. It Will Probably Work With the A. R. U. And Seeks, to Supercede Every Other Labor Order. Chicago, July 24. A new labor union to be called the American Labor union, has been launched forth on the troubled seas of the labor world, which, its leaders say, will gather under one banner, the whole army of the toiling masses. At a meeting of the board of directors of the new order it has been decided to admit militiamen as members of the new or ganization, which the directors claim will take the place of the Knights of Labor. "The declaration of principles," say the directors, "have in consideration many obstacles that will be encounted. First will be the characters of the prime movers by the so-called labor leaders, caused by the fear of our dis rupting older organization and there leaders pull with politi cians, corporations and shysters of every description. Second will be the arduous task of convincing the masses that it is necessary to their welfare; that the so-called labor leaders are too num erous and are thriving upon hard earned wages of the toiling masses, and that the time has arrived when only one organ ization of labor is sufficient. "There should be one general head shorn of all power to precipitate the or der into any conflict or strike; the grievance of any one member will be the concern of the whole organization. Trades and classes have frequently been righting single handed to be overwhelm ingly defeated in nearly every instance. The A. L. U. protects its members to its full strength, sacrificing every member to get the combined capital with com bined labor under one grand brother hood of man. Its motto is: "The cause of one is the cause of all." "The late struggle of labor has clearly convinced the most skeptical that united action must be used, and this action shall be left to the power of the rank and tile. We have for years liberally contributed a share of our hard earned wages in sup port of so-called labor leaders, whose asptrations have been in many cases to become politicians. The time has ar rived" for an honest labor organization, with each and every member a leader." Temporary headquarters will be at McCoy's hotel. There will be chosen two directors from New York, one from Philadelphia, one from Buffalo, one from Kansas City, two from fct. Louis, two from the Pacific coast, and one each from St. Paul and Minneapolis. The officers of the union are: W. C Walsh, president; W. 1L Overton, vice president; M. A. Cogley, secretary and treasurer. The Chicago directors are C. A. Keiler, W. E. Kerr, Col. F. Hamil ton, P. J. Grimes, F. M. Donnelly, H. E. Huntington, John Costello, Owen Mc Shane, William Kussell. Peter Kennedy, B. Frotherstone, C. 1. Dahl. The officers of the new organization say organizers will put in the tield immedia tely and the union extend throughout the country. Resolutions were adopted pledging financial support to F.. V. Debs and pledging corperation with the A. Ii. U. J. tj. McFadden, a personal friend of Debs, stated that Debs and his co-work-era are behind the American Labor Union. It is the intention to include in this organization all labor of whatever kind not merged under the head of rail roading. It will be affiliated with the American Railway Union, and doubtless be controlled by the same officials. FItICK A WITNESS. Be Claims tlit Stories About Armor Plates Is a Money Making; Scheme. Washington, July 24. Chairman Frick, of ihe Carnegie bteel company, was the witness before the naval commit tee in the armor plate investigation to day. The armor plate business was a com paratively unimportant branch of the works and he had left the details entirely to Superintendent Hunsicker, he said. Mr. Frick regarded the penalty levied by the navy department as exorbitant and appealed to the president, as he was per mitted to do under the law. He did not regard the information to the government as conspiracy on the part of former strikers for revenge but rather as a money making scheme. "If the government inspectors had done their duty there would have been no trouble," said he. "I knew they were there to see that the work was properly done and depended on them. You gen tlemen will see how that was when you come to the works." Air. Frick could I not see how it benefited his men to slight their work as it whs of no financial advantage to them. WILL AID TIIE POPULISTS. Knights of Labor K.iolr. to Work For Them In Nebraska. Omaha, Neb., July 24. The session of the executive board of the Knight3 of Labor today was devoted to the situation in Nebraska. State Master Workman D'Allemaud was called in consultation and after hearing his statement, it was resolved to lend the influence of the or der in the impending campaign to the Populists. It was decided to send organizers over the state in conjunction with the Popu list state committee to thoroughly or ganize the wage workers and the farmers for tke struggle at the polls in November. SOLDIERS' LAWLESS ACTS. The Major of Enid Makei Sensational Charges Against l'liaui. South Exid, Ok., July 24. John C. Moore, mayor, has created a sensation by issuing a public statement over his owa signature and, as he states, after a thor ough investigation regarding the shoot ing at Lnid oi Corporal Gleaves. Mayor Moore states that me soldier was shot during a quarrel with a comrade, and that to protect themselves the soldiers told their otlicers tney were attacked bv citizens of Enid. Captain .uackay, who is in command of tne troops, it is charged by Mayor Moore, took a squad of men to Charles L. bnearer's house, pulled him out of bed, accused him of complicity in the shootiug and after placing a rope about his necii, threateneu to hang him if he did not tell them who fired tne shot. Next the soldiers went to A. li Elliott's home, awoke him and with their guns aimed at him, demanded to know who had burned the bridges, threatening to shoot and hang him if he did not give them the deaired information. Elliott's wife huding tiie soldiers, as she thought about to murder her husband, rustled into the streets in her night domes, call ing on the citizens to come to reacue, and her screams alarmed the soldiers so much that they left Elliott's house, aud takiug bhearer with them, went 10 Noi tii Euid, whence they sent their prisoner to jail in Guthrie. Tne secretary of war has been inform ed by wire of these occurrences, aud Mayor Moore has forwarded to him charges in accordance with this state ment against Captain Mackay. KMK PEOPLE DEMAND 1'KOTECTION Got. Rentfrow Called I'pon to Protect Their Home. Guthrie, Ok., July 24. At a late hour last night, Governor liantfrow received the following telegram from Enid: "United States deputy marshals are violating the organic act of the territory by arrenting our citizens aud denying preliminary hearings in the jurisdiction of officers. We are being taken away while an unlawful organization at North town threatens to burn our city in our absence. United States troops invade our homes in the night, take our citizens out iu their uight clothes and tureaten to hang them in the presence of their wives and spirit them away beyond the jurisdiction of the court without prefer ring criminal charges or warrant. Tliey are -placing the city guards under arrest and when we return home it will be to find our city iu ashes. We demand pro tection at once." Governor Ren f trow. Secretary Lowe and Secretary Brooks left for the scene this morning to put a stop to any outrage, and if possible to restore peace. THE TRIAL OF DEBS. Attorney Milchrlst Savs Argument of the Ltefense Palls. CnxcAuo, July 24. During the pro ceedings in the trial of President Debs and his associates, for contempt today, District Attorney Milchrist called the attention of the court to the act of 1SHU, kuown as the anti-trust law. He read some of its provisions stating that if two or more persons conspire to obstruct inter state commerce they slall be deemed guilty of an offense against the govern ment, and shall be proceeded against in the United States circuit court. The district attorney said that under this law the argument of the defense that the bill under which the injunction was issued is void falls to the ground. The bill was filed under the act of lb9L. There is no doubt, Mr. Milchrist said, that the government has such a pecuniary interest in' inter-state commerce that it has a right to file such a bilL The gov ernment maintains itself in part by the revenue derived from the postal service. The greater part of today's session was taken up with the argument of Attorney Irwin for the defense. Mr. Irwin was frequently interrupted by Judge Woods who questioned the attorney closely. Judge Woods was particularly inquisi tive regarding the advisory character of the A. R. U. officers' duties. "If the officers could not order a strike but could advise the organization's mem bers," asked the judge, "why could not the former advise the men to desist after the strike was in force?" Attornew Irwin repliedj that the gcvj ernment's complaint contained nothing regarding advice, but simply charged the defendants with ordering strines. "If the government meaut advice in stead of order," said the attorney, "it should have said 6o. Our answer fully covers the case as stated by the prosecu tion." PACIFIC RAILROADS RILL. A Minority Report t Which Congnii. man Harris Will Contribute. Washington, July 24. The minority of the house committee on Pacific rail roads, who voted against the Reilly bill for adjusting the debts of the Central and Union Pacific, are drawing up a re port on the subject, whicii will be present ed to the house this week. Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana, is drawing that part of the document which is in tended to point out the defects of the railroad bill from the standpoint of the opposition, while Mr. Harris of Kansas, and perhaps others will contribute sup plementary views. lhey will hold it is inadvisable for the government to grant any extension of time fvr the railroads to settle their debts; that the plan, if it becomes enacted into law will have the legal effect of qua-hing the suit brought by Attorney General Olney against the Stanford estate; that the bill reported does not afford any se curity to the government that the com panies will carry out its provisions. To Frrvent Opium Mmnggling;. Washington, July 24. Senator Power of Montana, has introduced a bill to transfer the custom revenue along the northern border of the country to the war department. His object is to have the border better patrolled that at pres ent so as to prevent the smuggling of opium and Chinese. Vigilant H im Again. Roches Point, Southampton, July 24.

Arctic Explorer's Ship Believed to Be Crushed hy Ice. Grave Fears as to the Safety of the Farty. 31 AY ALL BE DEAD. One of the Party Left Behind to Die x.lone. Prof. Oven Found With Only a Doz for Companion. London, July 24. Carl Siewwers writes to the Standard that he is in receipt of advices from Norway that leave little doubt that the Walter Wellman arctic expedition is lost. Experienced skippers just returned from the Spitzbergeu seas, express the same opinion and CoL Fielding, who ac companied Capt. Narez' expedition in 1BS5, shares this belief. The Pall Mall Gazette is in receipt of similar advices from Tromsoe.all confirm ing the general Oelief in the fate of the expedition. 'J. no loliowing reply to an inquiry has been received: CuiCAtio, July 24. To the General Manag'T of Ih.j Associated Press: Ihe fact that there was so much float ing ice mis year led Mr. Wellman to be lieve mat his vessel, tue Rahuavald- Jario could get further north man any ship had ever reached before. This iulorina tion wus corroborated by a great many navigators whom he saw just before ne left. Reports that eomo about tiie loss oi the expedition arise from the fact that fishing and other vessels have no seen the itaunavald-J arle, which they would have douu in ordinary season Private cablegrams to the Heraij from Troiuaoe say mat even if the vessel is lost there is no reason for anxiety for the crew, wnicu is undoubtedly upon the ice somewhere makiug iu way toward the poie. Wneu Mr. enman left Trom oe it was with the understanding that the vessel should come back and bring reports of the expedition up to the time that he Could send messengers back from the interior aud undoubted the ves sel is waiting at some point for such com munication. He arranged that the.vessels tshouid return some time between July 15 and August 1, but possibly the vessel might be still later. It was to return to Norway to coal up and to prepare for the return trip to bring Mr. Wellman back, which would require it to leave about August 15, consequently there is no occasion for alarm uhtil arter that time. Signed James W. Scott, Publisher Chicago Herald. lSelleved to FSe Cru.hed Hy Ire. Arctic skippers report that the flow of pack-ice. and its density this summer would prove irresistible to auy vessel, however strong. They believe that the Rahnavald Jarle has been crushed in the ice and ex press the belief that there is a remote chance that the men of the Wellman ex pedition have been saved or managed to get upon an ice-float, in which case they believe that the explorers are in a most dangerous position. Should the forebodings of the arctic skippers prove true, and if the Rahna-vald-Jurle was crushed without warning, it is probable that the members of the expedition were unable to take any large quantities of supplies with them upon the ice floe, even supposing they suc ceeded in escping thereto. When questioned regarding the effect iveness of the aluminum boats in such an emergency, the arctic captains ex pressed the belief that they would be of no use in such pack-ice. The last heard from the expedition it was at Dane's island off the northwest coast of Spitzbergen where Prof. Oyen remained alone with a dog to guard the provision depot established there. Mr. Fielden, the owner of the yacht Saide, has received news of Prof. Oyen's distress from Captain Johansen, of the sloop Anna. Mr. Fielden instantly ordered the Saide to Dane's Itland, and she reached that spot the next day, but only to be welcomed by the professor's dog. Oyen was found in his bed in an almost dying condition. He had given up ail hope of ever seeing the face of a human being again. Piofs.or Oyen Itltter. Upon a table in the professor's quar ters was found a letter containing bitter reproaches against Wellman, whom he accused of having left him in the lurch. Weliman, according to Prof. Oyen, promised that a mau should stay with him aud share his frightful solitude. But it appears at the last moment. Wellman decided that a man could not bo spared, and so the professor had to be content with.the company of his dog. The Saide also reported that Prof. Oyen was so badly provisioned when he was found that his early death appeared inevitable. But in spite of his Bufferings and the thought that death was hovering over him, the professor refused to be taken off Dane's island, insisting upon remaining there, faithful to his trust, even though death was the result of his continuing at his post of arctic solitude. The Saide, however," left a quantity of provisions, and also presented the pro fessor with some medicines of which he stood in great need. Thus was Professor Oyen left in com pany with his brute friend, probably to die on Dane's island, another victim add ed to the long list of persons who have given their lives to the Arctic explora tion. The Walter Wellman referred to i3 well known to the readers of the Statk Journal as the correspondent who fur njshed such valuable letters from Wash ington. The expedition left Philadelphia about five months ago. MUST SIGN CONTiLli; Santa Fa Employes lterilrel to lt.n'in AH.gUao. to Labor I'nloni.

The Mayor and Sheriff Are Amonif Those Arrested. roKU Cf.f.k. Ok.. July ZL Nearly 200 citizens have bean arrested for train wrecking. Sheriff Hager was the first man taken and Mayor Frank the second. The arrests were made by seven deputy marshals, backed by a car-load ot Federal soldiers. At first the I'oad Creek look-outs, ttationed on the top cf build'ns, aaw twenty soldiers marching- from Pond Creek station and 9j reported. The citi2ens took their Winchesters in high glee to give them battle, but when they were drawn up in lina waiting- for the soldiers to demand their surrender, two unexpscted com panies of soldiers relied off a train that had just come from another direction in great baste. The citi zens then grounded arms aad sur rendered. It is said that when the soldiers were arresting the citizens other citi zens with veog-eance in their hearts rode out of town hastily au l it is ex peeted that they are scattered alonjj the unprotected line of road applying the torch to brirtg-es and culverts. J. C. Moore, mayor of South Enid, another one of the scenes of the pres ent disturbances between the citizens and the Rock Island railway, has pre pared and forwarded to the secretary of war charg-es and specifications un der the articles of war ag-ainst Captain Mackey, who is in command of the federal troopn in that city. The speci fications allege that at the dead hour of niijht Captain Mackey and his men went to the home of Charles Ij. tiherer, took him out of bed, and showing- him a rope, threatened to hang- him if he would not divulge the cames of the parties who firod at a cot-Doral in Captain Mackey's com mit. id, who was in a row. He also alleg-es that Captain Mackey and his nif n drajrg-ed A. K. Elliot, another citizen, out of bed, presented their rifles to his breast and threat ened to kill him if he would not di vulge the ident ity of the parties im plicated in burning bridg-es. They kept him under torture until Mrs. Elliot, who ran throiiffh the streets in her nrpht clothes, aw akened the cit izens by lier screams. Mayor Moore has notified the sec retary of war by telegraph that the eharsre.-. ag-aiuit Captain Mackey aro en route. I10ADES WILL IiETALIATE They Will Follow the Example and I et Out" Union Men. Kassas City, Mo., July 21. It is pretty generally known that the Chi cago, liurlin'-ton and Quincy road suf fered less from the recent striko than any of the Western railways. In fact, what was another's loss was its gain, and the Q reaped a harvest. This con dition was due to t"ie fact that the liurl incrton took adrantapre of experi ence pained in its bi- strike of some years pa'-t. Since that trouble was settled, the Burlington has employed very few union men. It has not made an open declaration that it would em ploy no union men. It simply had no vacancies when they applied for posi tions. That other roads will now adopt a similar policy seems boyond question. Ba d a local railroad ollicial yesterday: 'On our system and on all others iserionsdy affected by the strike, it will now be the policy t weed out tho members of the A. R. U. and their sympathizers as rapidly as possible, ilea. is of all departnisnts have had in structions to keep a list of these men. They will be let out, not by whole sale, but quietly, sir gly and by twos and threes." OUTLAW KILLED. Tnnk Hawkins bhot by Two Full-Stood Eofacla, Ind. Ter., July 24. Frank Hawkins, a notorious Creek-Seminole outlaw, was shot and instantly killed yesterday evening-, six miles east of here, by Sam Checoa and Hilly Nar come, two full-blood Creeks. Some thing over two j-ep.rs ag-o Hawkins was arrested by David Sizemoore, a deputy United States marshal, but be fore lie was landed in jail he mur dered the ofieer and made his escape, and has since been scouting- and selling- whisky.

Abdul Ails of Marocco, His Remarkable Slav Mother and His -Many Trouble. A country "staggering tinder a load cf debt, a civil war and four foroisn ca tions watching for an excuse to seize his throne and his territory are a few of the difHculties that confront Abdul Aziz, the bey saltan of Marocco, who was elevated to the ofHea upon the re cent death of hia father, Sultan Muley Hassan. His seaports are full of the warships cf England. Spain, France ai:d Italy; hfs uncle, Muley Ismail, is dis puting his right to rule Marocco at Fez, and he has a one eytd elder brother, named Muley Mohammed, who thinks that if any sultan business is to b3 doi in Marocco he is just tho boy to do it. Strange as it may seem, there is an ele ment of strength in the fact that four foreign nations are canting greedy eyes at his country. Each nation is like the dog in the manger if it cannot feed on Marocco hay, it is very sure to prevent any other nation from doing so. Abdul is only 16 years old, but he has a fair army behind him and the good old constitutional right of lopping oS any ABDUL AZIZ, EOT SrXTAN' OF MAHOCCO. heads that do not pleaso hie; eve, and consequently the situation does not daunt hi in. His mother was a beautiful Cir cassian woman named Ayes-ha, who was a slave, but -who gained complete as cendancy over the late saltan. She was educated in Europe, speaks Spanish and French and has cleverly used her great power over Muley Hawaii to procaro tho advancement of her son. Three years ago, whi u Abdul "was only 13, she cajoled the sultan into appoint ing Abdul viceroy cf the kingdom cf Fez, with ample maintenance and a court of hi3 own. This step broke tho Lf-urt of the one eyed Muley Mohammed, who in the eldest fon of the late sultan, for his mother was a legitimate Shere-ifa and not a slave, like Ayesha, the mother of Abdul. The one eyed Muley's protests were unavailing, however, ami the sul tan's act was generally regarded as all indication that he desired Abdul to suc ceed him. When the sultan's political tef lament was opened after his cleath, it was found that Ayesha had won the fight for the throne, and a council of repents was ap pointed to perve during the first years of Abdul's reign. With his mother behind him there seems no fjood reason why Abdul should not overthrow all his local enemies. She must be a remarkablo schemer and diplomat, for the late sultan had some 2,000 wives and mistresses, who were constantly plotting to f.dvancj the interests of tlnir favorites, hut who were outwitted and outgeneraled by thj Circassian 6lavo woman. THE PYTHIAN UNIVERSITY. Zt Will H Erected In CallaHn, Tenu, and Will Cost SiSO.OCO. The Pythian University For the Order Universal now being erected at Galla tin, Tenn., will be the only authorized Pythian school in the country, it is said. The'cornerstono was laid with impress ive rites on May 2 in the presence cf the grand lodge of Tennessee and prom inent visiting Knights. Tho building is to bo a four story structure surmounted by a picturesque dome. The frontage is to be 200 feet and the width 130 feet. The structure will be constructed cf polished stone, with tile flooring mil marble wainscoting, and will be as near fireproof as it is possible for man's in genuity to make it. The main entrance will lead to a spa cious rotunda, from which a handsome marble stairway is to wind upward to the floors above. The basement will te a large hall, from which easy acteM may I! t THE PYTHIAN I'NIVERSITT. be had to the society halls on the first floor. The second and third floors will be- partitioned off as recitation rooms, and one room will be used as a library on the second floor. The fourth story will contain the lodgeroom and lecture hall. The site of the structure ia par ticularly attractive. It is on a hill one mile north cf Gallatin and commands an excellent view of the town and sur rounding country. There are at present 500,000 Knights of Pythias, and the order is constantly gTowing. Another big building project they Lave on band is a state Pythian home which is to bo erected foca by the members of the order in New York state. There are 21,000 members of the order in the Empire State, and this year they are paying a per capita tax of 10 cents each, which will furnish $2,100 toward the project. Many lodges have al given substantial sums toward the enterprise. An act iucorpcratiuar the in stitution under the namecf the Pythifui home was passed by the legislature arid signed by the governor last year. The home will be a refuge for the disabled and indigent members of the older. o WARE AHOLD UAH' WarJenChaseand JulgeMcDon ald Fijrlit at Leavenworth. Chase Called Names and the Judge Got Mad. CUASE CHOKED HIM. McDonald Was Hit Vigorously on the Head, Leaveswohih, Kan., July 24. The charges preferred ag-ainst Warden S. W. Chase of the state penitentiary by three of its former employe are novr undergoing- investigation by the board of directors. Shortly after the board of directors adjourned yesterday morning an inci dent occurred not expeoted to 1e a part of the proceeding's of the investi gation. The lie was passed between Judge J. F. McDonald of Fort Scott, one of the attorneys for the complain ants, and Warden Chase. The latter made vijjrous use of hia strong- arms upon the n end of the judge; friends parted both and peace Boon reigned again. It 'appears that some time ago Judge McDonald stated to the war den that under no circumstances would he have an'thing to do with this investigation. Yesterday, in a familiar manner, the warden called the judge's attention to this, at tho same time saying-: "Judge, you are an old liar;" no notice was taken of this by those present, knowing the fr.enuly relations existing between thu two. The judge, however, be came riled over the warden's remark nud replied in kind with many adjec- tives. Hardly had he uttered the last word when the warden sprang to his feet, grabbed the judge by tha throat, the latter turning his head, and permitting a vigorous pounding upon it by the warden. The Board of Directors had already withdrawn from the room for con sultation and only a few psrsons witnessed the scene, j It appears that Judge McDonald j has for some time been trying to square an account with the warden because of the latter's regulation prescribing how far attorneys should proceed in securing the permission of convicts to obtain for them their pardon. I NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION. i An Unused Well Near CofTeyville, Kan j das, Kxplodes. j Coffeyvii.le, Kan., July 24. An ex- plosion occurred here yesterday morn- ing at 2 o'clock at gas well No. 3. This well was an unused one and was on land adjacent to the city and no one was injured. The force of the explosion was simply terrific, arous ing the whole city, many thinking that an earthquake had taken place. The ground around the well, covering an area of an acre, was thrown into ridges from two to twelve feet deep, llocks weighing two tons were thrown to the surface. Th; suppo ition is that the gas had been escaping for a long time iuto the fi.ss-tres and crev ices of th i rockf forming a large amount an i the pressure becama so great that an exn osion followed.

Here is an example of a two story and attic dwelling designed to meet tho requirements of a family in comfortable circumstances liv ing in tho suburbs of a city or in a thriv ing town or village. The lot has a frontage of 60 feet and a depth of 125, thus affording an excellent opportunity to erect a stable Ln the roar FRONT ELEVATION'. and at a distance from the house A cellar seven feet deep in the clear extends un der tho whole hous; with a concrete floor.

A wide veranda ex tends across the entire front of the housi.-, its lln being prettily broken by the pro jecting pediment of the porch which cov ers the front steps. In tho first story plan aro found a vesti bule and large staircase hall, parlor and dining room, kitchen, pantry and closets. The principal rooms are arranged to com municate by means of sliding doors when desired. Some people would prefer to have O a FIRST STORY. curtains, in which case the openings in the partitions whore the doors slide can be covered by a neat molded st n to which the curtain poles may be secured. The kitch en and pantry aro neatly lifted up and equipped with all the modern improve ments. In the second story there Is on largo chamber and an unusually largo bedroom in front, which are so arranged as to al low a pleasing grouping of the windows, thus adtling greatly to the exterior effect.

f f i s 1 I 1 1 1 f i 1 S BAD AS COULD BE Congress Will Not Adjourn Till August, Maybe Later. It Has Sat So Lona Few Weeks More Won't Hurt. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Their Encampment Will Help to Enliven Washington. Washixgtc K, July 24. Special. Congress has changed Its mind onco more, as IS Is capable of doing and has a perfect right to do. Thj currant talk now is that Wednesday, Aug. 15, will bo the date of adjournment, and this talk comes from so many of the old heads on both sides that it may be taken as a sort of semiofficial announcemen t. As to the question about those who wcro so anxious to get homo and see about their districts, a western member laughingly replied: ''Well, it's just like it was with iny wife when we first went to housekeeping. If I was de layed half nn hour after the regular meal time, why, I knew that the dinner was spoiled and that my wifo was as mad as eho was goin r to be anyhow, and so it didn't make any difference how much longer I staid away. When the 1st of July passed, with no tariff bill and a cer tainty that sugar was to be heavily taxed, my constituents were as full of in ad as they could bj and not bust, and so it laakc s no difference now how long I stay here. A Lively Month. August will indeed bo a very lively month. July 'JS tho troops of this district, including the Columbia national guard, will fzo into camp on the Oat near Mar shall Hall and remain till Aug. 6, and if the appropriation tiierefor cets through In time there will be a general brigade encampment. After thiswill come a great variety of public functions of an intarest ing charaeltr and then the grand encamp ment of tho Knights of Pythias, which, if onu may ...le from the preparations made and tho letters received, will be by far ti e grandest thing of the kind ever held in the United States. It is a fact of j tomo interest ti;at very many fythian commands in Indiana, Illinois and farther west have sent special notices that their members aro also very largely members of tho militia ar.d that if tho labor troubles aro serious late in August their acceptance of the Washington call must be considered as withdrawn. It being taken by consent apparently that the scssioa is to round out the year sinco this congress first met, there Is quite a revival in old business that had been laid aside and renewed activity in some of the committee rooms. Messrs. Geary, Maguire, Mallory and others specially interested in it once more hope to get tho Nicaragua canal bill to tho front, and the committee on Pacific railroads swear by all that is good and great that they will do some thing yet this session if the house does not positively forbid it. In tho general rush of routine business and concentration of interest on the tariff conference the various investigations were quite overlooked and, except for Senator Allen, 16 is possible that the inquiry into the 6ugar bribery charges would bo ignored. Those Armor Plates. The house naval committee suspended its investigation for a week because of the naval appropriation bill coming? back from to senate with important amendments, but it is now resumed, and Chairman Cum inings talks as if they bad hardly got fair ly into it. There have been sudden and curious changes, and the case has so far shown three very distinct phases. First all the testimony seemed to bear very hard on tho Carnegie company, as it was ad mitted that all kinds of tricks had been practiced on the government inspectors, and sorao very sensational results were promised. A new set of witnesses turned the tide strongly against the inspectors. It was admitted that they had been im posed uion in various ways, but claimed that it. was done merely to save trouble, which their ignorant officiousness would liavo caused, and that tho plates were ev ery wiiit as good as was agreed upon, and most tf them better. 'I he real rppeal, said tho company, was to the ballistic test, and that brought on tho third stage. It was shown that the plates bad the tensilo strength and other qualities contracted for, and yet projectiles wero fired right through them. The consolation now is that, while, wo probably got its good xlates as we contracted for, yet wo did so much better in tho p-x;ectilo lino that wo shall now have to invent tougher plates. The Conference I"ight. Old senators say that they do not re memlmr any conference which resulted so nearly as the public expected and the journalists predicted. Everybody said that the light would ba on coal, iron and sugar, especially sugar, and so it seems to bo coining out. Senator Kyle, who is proba bly as impartial an observ er as a senator could be at sue l a time, and who has been kept well informed of every day's proceed ings, says: "I rm satisfied that an agree ment could be reached in an hour if the senate conferees that is, the Democrats were sure that their party in the senate would sustain them, and I am very certain that on a final vote there is only one Dem ocrat in the senate who would take tie responsibility of voting against a party measure cf tha; importance. That is not what the Democratic conferees are afraid of. They know that they can pass the bill finally they must pass it, in fact but if a partial agree nent is reported and then disagreement on the six important items a long struggle may follow and keep us tiers till October." Comparison Tables. The Carlisle tables, as they are called, have excited unusual interest and aro studied with far more zeal than public documents generally aro, and it seems as if they have reconciled many Democrats cf the house to the senate bill, whether that was their object or not. They present the rates of duty under the law of 1S83, the Mills bill, the McKinley act, the Wil son bill as it left tho house and the senate bill in parallel c jlumns.with specific duties reduced to ad valorem per cents, and thus how at a glance what the reduction will be if the senate bill is accepted. Occa sionally there Is an increase. Thus tho McKinley rale on alcoholic compounds is 163 per cent, while in the senate bill is is 188 per cent, and so of several articles of that nature in the first schedule chem icals, oils and paints and yet there is a great average reduction. In the schedule of earthenware and glassware the reduc tion la figured by experts at 20 per cent. 2jx thm third chedul-istaif and manu factures thereof there appears great re duction on the face of the figures, but it would be a big job to figure the average reduction on the hundreds of articles, with their varying rates. The schedule of wood and manufactures therecf is quite a sur prise, for the senate bill makes the first eight articles free, while the Wilson bill had them dutled at from 7 to 14 per cent, and so of unvf-nt orher ifras.

St. Louis, July 24 The fourteenth annual convention of the Photographers Association of America began its four day's session in the Musical hall in this city at 10 a. m. today, being called to order by President Adam Heimterger, of New Albany, Ind. HE IS ADJUDGED INSANE The Crank "amd .Joncn, Threatenad Bradford's The man who threatened W ho II as Life. to kill Ex as told in Attorney General Bradford, yesterday a Joi'RXAL, was sane in the probate court adjudged in today. He is known as J. Bntton Jones, and "Jones of Bala," but he is commonly called plain John Jones. Jones, like nearly all crazy men, has a delusion, and he has faithfully followed it for many years. It is that the state of Kansas has robbed him, of his t roperty, wife and children. Many prominent men in the state have been held by Jones in some measure responsible for the fan cied wrongs of which he has teen the victim. He says the state should make him reparation and with that object in view he has almost continually harassed the last two state administrations. His grievance against Gen. Bradford was caused because Bradford while attorney general refused to prosecute the probate judge of Osage county, before whom Jones wife was found insane and sent to the asylum in 1870. She died in the asylum several years ago. Jones recited his delusion to the jury today telling how he had come lrom Wales with his family in 1808 and how hard they had worked to get along. He was very profuse in the use of big words and told how he had been "given an ex pensive education in my youth, sir," and how he and his wife were "confused al most to perplexity" ty their troubles. He then told how his wife had been sent to the asylum so that his property and chil dren could be stolen from him. The witnesses examine were Mayor T. W. Harrison, S. B. Bradford, City At torney Tillotson, Deputy City Attorney Hungate, Police Commissioner Krauss and Deputy County Attorney 5. S. Urmy. All testified that Jones had come to them and requested that they help him to get back his property and children. Krauas testified iliat he had accused Bradford of robbing him and had said he ought to have a rope about his neck. The testimony of Jones, himself, was enough to convict himj. It took the jury but a little while to deckle that the com munity was safer with Joaes in the in sane asylum. He has been a familiar character about Tope lea "for several years but has always been considered harmless until recently. CHASE IS CONDEMNED. State Officials Bl.me Him for Losing B Is Temper.

The Democrats of Shawnee Pass Some Stringent Resolutions. In answer to a certain article which appeared in the Kansas Citv Times of July 14th, and which was deemed derog atory to the Democracy of Shawnee county, and an insult to the recent Dem ocratic convention held in this county, the Shawnee club which is an organiza tion of Democrats consisting of about 200 members, passed the following resolu tion at its regular meeting. Vhereas, An article appeared in the Kansas City Times of July 14th. setting forth in substance that the fight made in the Shawnee county Democratic conven tion against Eugene Hagan was instituted by Populists, who "had it in" for him oa account of the part he took in the quar rel between Sirs. Lease and Governor Lewelling, ann had been very angry with him ever since and that they had' tried to get him off the state central committee, but fail ed and that they had claimed that Ha gan was not in good standing in his par ty in his own county, but that the ab surdity and falsety of this charge was proved by certain resolutions having been adopted by the Flambeau club of Topeka, and Whereas, Each and every one of said charges are absolecely false and untrue and the entire article as contained in the Kansas City Times is wholly false and untrue as therein stated, and' Whereas, The Shawnee County Dem ocratic convention that passed the reso lutions against Mr. Hagan was compos ed of the best Democrat? in Shawnee county and was the largest Democratic county convention ever held in Shawnee county, and Whereas, The resolutions uassed by Democratic Flambeau club referred to in said article were passed by just eight members of said club and did not, by any means, speak the sentiments of faid flambeau club, nor of the Democrats of Shawnee county. Therefore, Be It Resolved, By the Shawnee club, a Democratic organiza tion consisting of 200 good and loyal Democrats, that we denounce said article in the Kansas City Times as a falsehood and eminating from persons, who are now working as Hagan did, in the inter est of the Republican party and of the election of the Republican ticket in this state, and Resolved, Further, that we denounce the appointment of Eugene Hagan on the state central committee as au insult to every true aud loyal Democrat of Shawnee county, and also an insult to the democracy of the state of Kansas, and Reserved, Further, that we believe Ha gau's appointment was made through petty spite, aud reflects no credit on those appointing him, and will do the Democratic state ticket great and lasting injuryln the coming campaign, and Resolved, Further, that the Secretary is instructed to furnish a copy of this resolution to the Kansas City Times, Topeka Daily Press and the Topeka State Journal LOCAL 31 EN T I ON".

The First Strike fer Recorded T"S America. Iix-a tiorai't inn at Heducvd Liquor Allow ance A Strike For Shorter Hoars Trou ble Over a Hate Forbiddiog; Suiokl ig:. Special Correspondence.! New York. July If. The first re corded American strike was entered upon in this city iu 1711 133 years ago by journeymen bakers. It wis a strike for wages, but just how small was tho weekly or monthly stipend re ceived and despised by tli9 breadraakers is' not known to thi9 chronicler; neither is tho amount demanded. Tho whole afTair. frcm start to finish, was conduct ed very much n.3 are strikes of these modern days. The men made thoir de maud formally. It being promptly it not formally refused by their employers, they walked out ia a body. This fiction aroused great indignation, and tho load ers were arrested aud tried on tho charge: of having entered iuto a "conspiracy agaiust the king. It was more th;m a half century aftci that tho seeoud recorded stiike was made. The staid city of Philadelphia was the scene of this "labor trouble," aud tho dissatisfied element was com posed of the "fine" shoe makers. They wanted higher wages, walked oat and had to walk iu again for their pains, for their employers said th?y co'tld not, and certainly they did cot, accede io tha ruon's demands. After two years the tnon, wi-ose dis satisfaction was only sruo! tiering, not quenched, tried it again rnd won. Tho next year, or iu 179?. the employers, who wero much chagrined over having given in to their workmen, announced that tho wages must be put down tc tho old figures again. This did not suit a little bit, and then came Philadelphia's second aud the republic's third strike This was settled by a omprromiso, but whether there was al.-o arbitration is not stated. It should lo noted that the action of tho men in leaving work was not termed a "strike" iu tho.se early days. They were said to have "turned out. Tho ma cries wires that tick tho news to every city iu tho lard wcra uc-t the n strung, of course, and ro intelligence cf the Philadelphia "turnouts" was slow in its diffusion. Dut in time it was duly spread abroad, and great was t ie ex citement it engendered among working men. It was i:o doubt the victories won by the Philadelphia shoemakers that brought about tiie exciting tnrnoTits of seamen in New York that marked the year 1'iO:. These were accompanied by decidedly riotous manifestations, tha first that had ever been known, 1 oca use of differences concerning wage, on tho western hemisphere. Just how the nat ter terminated in the rontost between the shipowners aad tho seam'-n I bavo not been able to discover, but it seeing probablo that tho rae7i won, f ,r it is stated that in 1S05 tho Philadelphia shoemakers, encourage 1 in their turn by tho results of tho turnouts i:i New York, inaugurated a still further move ment for better pay. This was the longest struggle between "capital' and "labor" that had so far occurred in the new wr r!d. It lasted full seven weeks and terminated at last in crushing d -feat for tha men. Their ringleaders, moreover, were arrested, tried aud convicted of having entered into a "conspiracy to raise the ir wapc. The records of the trials of the shoe makers are preserved in tho library o? the United States supreme court, at Washington aud possess a curious inter est not only as contributing to the his- tory of the "labor movement," but be- cause of the side lights incidentally Bhed on the life and manners of tlioe days. 16 was testified 1 y Mr. John Bed- j ford, a "master cordwaiuer" it up- i pears that that was tho-titles of an em- ploying sboemakf r e-arly in the present j century that he had lost over $-100 an- naally because of "turnouts" ordered by the Journeymen's association. lie- j corder Moses Levy, -who heard the cases, j fineel the men $S each, with costs. His official action reminds one forcibly of the English statute in force duri'ig the reign of Edward III, providing for tiie fining of tenants who "conspired to lower their rents. Labor unions in Philadelphia were very slow to recover from tiie effects of the paralyzing fines i in posed by Eei-ord- er Levy, and there were no more turn- outa in the City of Brotherly Love for many years. In New York, however, there were more strikes in ISC!', and again it was the shoe makers who were uneasy. Nearly 200 men, the largest number yet, engaged in that turnout. The term "strike" see ms to f.ave been first used in that je ar. It was applied, however, only to a stoppage cf woik by the men in one si: op. A general volun tary vacation was still spoken cf as a turnout. The men in this case were vic torious. Many strikes, nearly all of shoemakers and few of much cone- quenee, were orelf reel in different places during the year immediately following. The most important of all occurred in Pittsburg, a town that, by the way, has aequired a considerable reputation be- Cause of its great strikes of later years, i The first strike for shorter hours cam1? in 1S30, when the carpenters and ma- I sons of Boston wanted to establish a 10 hour day, but could not succeed. In 1833 Boston's labor unions got so strong that the employers pledged themselves not to employ union men. It came t: naught. The first big mill strike was in Paterson, N. J., in 1833. Militia were first called out to repress strikers in 1S31 along the line cf the Providence rail toad. A strike as curious as the one at Medford occurred in Maine in 1S26, when some French laborers refused to tverk longer on a dam they were con tracting because they had been forbid ten to smoke their pip-?s while at wotk.

Among tha mil lions of people of this country whernsa clams not on-3 in 10,000 kt.ov.-s any thing about their life, habits or anato my or the reasons why this most useful bivalva is accepted as a nerve restorer and stomach tonic. As a matter of fact, so little has been written about clams and soneglecteel has the natural history of this mollusk been i6 is safe to state that less is known about the life aud habits of the clam than of any other food shellfish. Tsvo kinds of clams aro popularly known the soft clam, which is also called long clam and Nauninose, and the hard clam, often called Little Neck clam, from the excellent specimens of tho species that are taken in cat dis trict. But there are also sever-. I specie3 of giant clams, notably the giant clam of the Pacific often weighing 10 to 14 rounds the flesh of which ia dried by the northwestern Indiaa tribes and forms a considerable factor in their win ter food. This clam is somewhat like the soft clain of the Atlantio seaboard In appearance, and its anatomy is pre cisely similar. Then there is that hugo East Indian shellfish, erroneously call ed giant clam, whoso shells often weigh 2o0 pounds each and which are often broken iuto pieces and used by some of the natives of the Indian archipelago for hatchet heads, spears, etc. These facts are interesting, hut ifc will bo much more interesting and use ful to tell something of the life, habits and medicinal properties of the soft and hard clams which now form so impor tant a part in our fish food supply. Nearly $0, 000, 000 worth are consumed iu tho United States each year, the greater part of which are taken on the coasts of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York auel New Jersey. The hard clam is much the more valuable. Beginning at the birth of tho clam, we find that they are nearly all mono sesular that is, they have separate sexes while it not nnfrequently hap pens that many are found to be bisexu lar, having both sexes in the one ani mal. Some investigators were of the impression that the latter were hermaph rodite and could not breed, but this j theory is wrong, and we know that the j bi exular clam is capable of procreating I in precisely tho same manner as do the I European or flat oysters (Ostrea eduli.s), which aro all bisexular, in contradic tion to the American oyster (Ostrea vinganiens) and the Portuguese oyster (C -trou olongatu), which are monosejcxi lar. Evc--y ct.o who has eaten a clam has noticed the dark, tough, tubular part that cxi-eiids outside the shell of the soft clam to a considerable distance and is r.Iso found in the more highly prized hard clam. It is supposed by some that this is the mouth or head, wdiereas the mouth is situated at the extreme other end cf the body within the shell. How ever, this protuberance plays an impor tant part in the feeding of the animal. It consists of two tubes incased in a tough, leathery sheath. The tube near est the hinge of the shell is called tha ex-current siphon, and the outside one is the iiK-urrent syphon. Their business is to draw water (containing food) through the incurreut siphon, from where it passes along the millions of hairylike cilia that form the fringe which surrounds the body, thonce over the gil's, where the oxygen is taken in, then around the mouth, w-hich absorbs tho microscopic food, anel when these operations of filtratrm and absorption arc completed the remainder of the wa ter deprived of the fexxi and oxygen required for tho sustenance of the little animal is forced back into the sea through tho ex-current siphon. The fringe or myriads of cilia to which I have here referred have also an impor tant bearing on this feeding process. They are in constant motion, shaking or moving backward and forward, and thus, forming a kind of current on the water, adel impetus to the suction which is used to draw the water iuto the in current siphon. The tough, semiconical piece of flesh which is seen upon open ing a clam has a use far different from that which is generally attributed to it. It is the foot, is peculiarly muscular and is useel as a lever for opening and closing the shell, as an offensive and defensive power, in the same manner that the foot or muscular little pieces which are found attaching the oyster at tho center of the body to each shell serve to open and keep it closed. J The juices of the clam, which are j kept pare by the filtering, feeding proc- ess which I have described, have long been recommended o persons of weak j stomachs, etc., but the reasons why this juice is so efficacious is littlo known, j As a matter of fact, the instinct of pres ervation which enables the animal to absorb only that which is nutritious is really the causo why tho flesh and juice are such valuable foorl for the building up of the human system. The hypo phosphites are helel in natural solution in both the flesh and juice, and analysis proving that the latter (the juice) is al most ith-utical as to its compositioii with the gastric juice of the human stomach it is quite obvious why clam juice should be a powerful restorative for thciso whose stomachs and gastric juices have been injured or depleted in eco nomic value by excesses or illness. For many years befoT3 the white men visited the shores of New England the Indians used tho clam as a food and for bait. The clambake of today some what resembles their methods of cook ing them. In fact, the Indians seldom ued them raw, but the millions of tons of clam shells that now whiten certain parts of the coast testify that the drying process of the present north western tribes was also the chief meth od employed by their early eastern kins men, although we have also proof that When gathered for immediate use the incient natives of New England inva riably adopted the clambake process of Ijday.

It was while wandering through the primeval forests, over tho floor of which were scattered the gigantic trunks of fallen trees, moldering for long years and suggesting an indefinitely remote antiquity, that tho poem was composed. When the young poet left Cr.mmington to begin Ids law stuciies, he left the poem among his papers. When his tis toniahed end delighted father found it, he read it to a lady who happened to be in the horn;, and both Were moved to tears.

The suit is brought on behalf of Carl ton J. Balfour, minor, by his mother iLliza A, Baiiotsr of Colora 1 o Springs, Col. "'J, ae pel it: n alleges that C. JJalfour of that city joiued the Knights of Colu:nbia in 1K.KJ and tools out Lsne lioiary certificates for id, but before the certificates were received Balfour died. The claim is ma le that he was regularly initial j 1 into the order. The co:iititu ion gives any one who has been Indi.tted and whole application has been approved by t le me i.eai director the benetbs of the insurance feature. The c!i ir-e is mala sli.it tiie supreme ollieers refused to levy an assessment to pay the death cl i m. A list oi nine members who have died and whose deatj claim., it is alleged, have not been paid is included in the j villi hi an J theie is also a list of four members who have been totally disabled and who, by th cvtintiiu: ion, are entitled to one-hail the f tee of their beneficiary ceriiticates. who have made proof of total disability but have, it ia asserted, have never been paid It is set up in th3 petition that the supreme ofiiceis are diverting the fund received from assessments to other uses a lid cites the case of a member of the order at Emporia, who died, and the hoid-r of his beneficiary certificate, was deerived as to the amount received Irotn tie assessment, and was forced lo c i ti! r- i.iise at at out, one half the proceeds rtceivod from the assess ment. liie charge is al-o ma le that the pres ent .-upreme oilit-era were never elected in a la w lul meet: uu; of tho supreme lo lire, and that the comtitution was altered so that the betietici try funds received from a-.--.'--:n--'its m;j. ht be used by the su preme uilicers. It is charged that the otlicers have been, enriching themselves at the expense of the order. This trouble is tl.e outgrowth of a factional fight in the organization against Colonel Heed. Early in last month a meeting- of dele gates was cailel to meet in North To peka to elect supreme otlicers, but w hen the meeting assembled Colonel Reed made an agreement to cad a regular dele gate convention and the convention ad journed without taking any action. The convention has since been called to meet in Kansas City, August 15, while, it is alleged, the c institution of the order provides in no mauner for such a conven tion. In granting the orJer this morning Jud-e llazea stated that he had been Informed that T. A. Beck and J03. E. Kisrgs, on the part of Hie supreme lodge had gone to Colorado Springs to investi gate the matter aud that if Balfour was a legal me nher of the order the supreme lodge wo jld take steps to pay the benetieiarv certificates, and thereiore hf would withhold the restraining order until they could return and report. Cob Iieed was eeea by a Journal re porter and said that the whole thing was trumped up to em-b-irrasa the order. "Mr. Beck and lr. Higgs," said Col. Heed, "are now at Colorado Spring investigating the claim and it will be paid if it is found to be just. It had been understood ihat Mr. Balfour was not a member of the order at the time of his death."' "Although charges have been publicly circulated about the order for weeks, ap parently lo damage it, it is wortuy of no e that the present m.iuth's business has been one of the best in the order's feis'ory. :i:is shows a gratifying confidence and faith in the directory which is made up of some of ths i.st men in the west. You w 1. see tho Knights of Columbia come out of this urdeal stronger and better than ever and established as one of the greatest ct fraternal beneiit asao ciatious."' tnit O ril creel Dlamtaseil.

The Plaintiff Ronm eeare a Verdiet Ase!mln2 the I e re rift ant Witli Cti Vnieli the lMalntiff lias to Pay. W. E. Ross, a Santa Fe fireman, began a suit for divorce from Mary II. Boss in the district court today. The petition is quite lengthy and goes into the details of a turbuleut domestic life. They were married over in Missouri live years sgo. The petitioner says he had not been married long before he bepan to see evi dence of a temper and other undesiruDie trails of disposition, the existence of w-hich he had not suspected before. His wife beg-an to scold him and call him "names." She used to tell him when he started out on his run that she wished he" would u't live to get back. After that Mary is said to have become negligent in her household duties. She would go off on a visit to neighbors and compel Mr. Ross to prepare his own meals, wash the disnes and make up hia own bed. The climax was reached when Ross got an order one day to haul a circus tent, an assignment that would take him away for seven days. His wife protest ed, but Boss had to go or lose his job, so he weat After he had gone Mrs. Boss swore out a warrant for her husband, charging him with disturbing her peace, lie was tried aud acquitted aud the costs amounting to $io were taxei against Mrs. Ross.

Court This 31ur ninf Were X.et Louve. "Three little vags from Africa, Ioaii-i' around the Santa Fe,' as recorded, were all there were of the yesterday's haul to amuse Police JuJge Eaominger this morning. Otlicers Capron and Cun ningham found these three colored boys hiding behind a freight car in the Santa Fe yards, at the rather unseemly hour of four o'clock this morning, and ran them in. They gave their names as Will Brown, Jesse Fulbright and Robert Ransom. The charge of vagrancy placed against them was a severe shock to their sensitive organisms, and they resented it with all the vehemence the dignity of the court would allow. 1 he story of the evidence was that the boys had been sleeping with a friend in North Topeka and as they had to go to work early in the morning, had arisen at 3 o'clock in order to get over in time, ihere was no explanation as to how they got into the Santa Fe yards and hid be hind a freight car, but as the judse re membered one of them as a boy that worked across the street from his house he let them go, aud they didn't object. The continued case of the drug clerk was next called. It will be remembered that his appearance ia court was duo to the overweening vigilance of Mr. Hicks, he of the brunette complexion, the pout ing lips and the corduroy brow. The witnesses for the prosecution were not procurable, but the young man in ques tion had his there, and also his attorney, Mr. Luenhart. The three witnesses ex amined, the hack driver, the gentleman friend that was in the hack and a colored friend of the driver that was also along, brought out the fact that the trouble was all about a copy of that sometimes most necessary of articles in the middle of the night, a nursing bottle. The most commendable delicacy displayed by the two men who stopped the hack in refusing to divulge the name of the object of their desires in the presence of the young lady in the hack was the di rect cause of the clerk's refusal to grant their request. It was shown that the prisoner did not use boisterous or abu sive language, and after Mr. Isenhart had given the court a little customary advice, which seemed good. Judge Eao minger discharged the prisoner. The young lady iu the case was next called to testify to the same charge of disturbing tiie peace but as the evidence in her case would have been exactly the same as in the other she was discharged without further examination. Ttie court then toos a recess till tomor row morning. SUr FKAUi; CLUBS. Some of Them 51 d up tiattrely of Men. Mrs. S. A.

STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING. JULY 24. 1894. 3 FASHION'S CAPRICE. BLACK CHIFFON USED AS A NOVEL TRIMMING. A- Tasteful Dress Made of Ckiffbs Oescrlp t too of a Hancloin and Simple Costam. Ervers and Stole Tabs Give bo Artistic Touch. fSper ia". Correspondence. New York, July 19. It Is a, novel caprice, that of trimming a bright and Fhininj eilk that reflect a dozen chang ing colors with black chiffon, but it has been done and with success, and a3 every success is repeated let us talk this one over a bit. Tho dr:ss, as I said, ia of chameleon Bilk tha is also striped with alerian colors, to perhaps it needed juifc the toning given by the v? it J U ,W fit V A POETTIY IN DRT GOOD3. fclacfc cobwebby texture of the chiffon. All around tho bottom is a narrow self ruching, and starting from that and mounting quite to tljf knees are 12 planting ruffles of chiffon, each one fall ing forward and endinj; under a rosette f black ribbon. The chiffon is bordered with black silk floss in scallops. A wide black sash and stiff belt, also added their sobering effect. There is a berths, dou bled on the shoulders of the chiffon, which forms a fichu in front, the ends reaching down nearly to tho knees in a round jabot. The delicate shading af forded by the diaphanous black film makes the gown lovely and almost po etic. Quite poetic is the new tea gown, also endowed with a wealth of chiffon, but this is of a licrht golden hue to match, the brown and green silk which forms tho upper and more important part of the tea gown. This graceful dress is cut to half lit the figure in front and has somewhat of a wutteau shape in the back, where it trains in heavy folds. The under portion or front is of gold colored chitfci plaited over pink silk. Across the bottom and twice cross the fkirt and once across the bust soft silk lace is sewed, and the loose front is partly adjusted by shell pink ribbon fas tened with a rosette. There is a wide berth: collar of plaited chiffon edged with tho lace and falls of chiffon at the elbow, where the largi; puff ends. And thero is such a dainty Jfttle tea cap of chiiTon and pink riU on that it is no wj-der that. I have rebelled in tho de scription of the poetic gown. Who would not find a cup of tea cheering pre pared by a lady in suc'i a dress? I never saw a wholo dress made of chiffon until yesterday, but the dress in question was very tasteful, and it some how did not look as thin as it should. This was made of ciel blue accordion plaited chiffon over blue taffeta, and the waist was drooped down in the up per portion, hanging in broken folds over a corselet of dark blue velvet, and the forepart of tho sleeves and the collar were al.;o of velvet. Taerewas an epau let collar of rich lace. White lace is used frequently to trim gowns of the widest contrast, such as black silk and frequently novelty wool ens. A black faille had a full flounce of white liussian lace all around it and tip on the right side in a double jabot, which was enriched with a looped bow of pale blue ribbon nud dull gold buckle. Tho double breasted corsage was also lavishly trimmed with white lace, and the black para.-ol was tri mined to match the dress, blue bow and all. There was a narrow piping of blae satin ribbon at the head of the flounc 3, and also on tho waist, and a blue chiffon ruff at the neck. Pale blue and black go together admirably. I was struck by a walking costume that I saw and thought how very little it needs to give a special effect to any costume if skillful fingers do the work. There was a pretty gray gown, with a -.71 KOVEL SC'lf ME R GOVS3. lain tailor finished skirt and pimple French waist with no special effort at trimming. The sleeves were gigot. but were opened up the outside of the arm, and the open places were bound with tailor braid and had silk buttons. At the neck thero was a small bow, and two sharply pointed revers had a rich trim ming consisting of boniton point ap plique. From under these fell two long tabs reaching nearly to the bottom of the skirt, trimmed in the same manner. The idea was extremely simple, but sug gested in some indefinable way a long and elegant wrap and one intended to be quite dress y. The Fame gown minus these rerers find stole tabs would be but ft very ordlinary look! ag dress. Olive IIaepkb. Hi Flower Girls In I niform. In room 28 of 7 Warren Ktreft 12 pretty girls stood at a long table at about 8 o'clock yesterday morning up to their ears and eyes in roses, pansiea and sweet peas, which they swiftly sort ed and formed iieto buttonhole bou quets. These boutennieres, when finish ed, were placed in wicker baskets ready to be carried out and sold. A new idea was put in practice yes terday in New York. The bouquet com pany, superintended by F. C. Clark and managed by Mr. Hamilton, scored a tre mendous riecess in San Francisco last year, and if things turn out as brightly here we will soon see uniformed fiowez girls in all part3 of the city. The young girls employed live at home and are to be paid regular sala ries, according to their worth as sales women. The entire compauy is ran on 6trictly military principles. At present there are two captains, Hisses Wagnei and Haine, who will receive $7.50 a week; the lieutenants' salaries will be $7, eergeant3 $6.50 and the privates $6 per week. Later will be added inspect ors and superintendents, acceding to the promotion of the young soldiers, which depends entirely on the amount of sales made, conduct and executiv9 ability. After $2.50 worth of bouquets are Bold the successful ones receive 20 pet cent of the amount taken, and thi3 will be added to their regular salaries. New York Herald. Matthew Hale Set Higlit. The Boston Transcript says: "One oi the most excited of the male 'remon strants' in New York is the lawyer, Mr. Matthew Hale. In tho June Forum ho attributes to women 'an irrepressible tendency to extreme exaggeration. As a glaring illustration of the peculiarly feminine tendency he mentions that a New York woman suffragist is reported as saying, 'We have but one slave now adays, and that slave is woman. He seems not to be aware that tho New York woman was merely quoting a fa mous saying of a distinguished man Victor Hugo. Tho use of the word slav ery as synoymous with deprivation ol political rights is somewhat rhetorical, no doubt, but masculine literature bris tles with it from tha day when tha Scottish bard wrote: "Xow'a the day and cow's the hour. Sew the front of bat lie lower, tree approach proud Kdsvard's poirer Edward! Chai ns and slavery! "But it is not necessary to go back to Bums. If Matthew Hale thinks the use of highly colored rhetoric is peculiar to women, let him take a course of modem campaign speeches. Wlien the Grate Is Closed. To destroy the sooty smell that often fills a room after an open grata has beon closed, for the summer I have used news papers and coffee. Last week I found the library filled with a pecnliar odor, as I have described, from tho grate. I had the girl make a fire with newspa pers, mixing freely ground coffttj with kindling wood ami paper. There was at first a decided smell of paper, but the coffee soon began to burn and acted as a disinfectant. The whole atmosphere of tho room was seemingly purified, and after a half hour's airing it was the most pleasant place in the house. I closed the doors and windows and opened the jar containing the rose potpourri, shook up the leaves, and in another half hour the library was ready for yon to enter, and I would have been greatly disappointed had yon not made some exclamation of pleasure as you met the delicate per fume. Housekeeper. The Monocle Tho monocle has appeared in the shops of New York, and the ultra fash ionables are adopting these little fastid ious affairs. It has a short handle and a gold or silver rim. Many of the fash ionable women who have decided to gaze at the world through a monocle are displaying great originality in the frame which they select for the little round glass. A young woman in be reavement screws into her left eye a monocle framed in a narrow rim of black enamel, and if she uses one with a handle this will also be in black. A favorite monocle lias a silver handle and rim, inlaid with turquoise. Women Toetli Cleaners. A firm of London fashionable dentists has introduced the occupation of "den ti cure, which, in plain English, "is the art of cleansing tho teeth." Young women aro sent out from the office to visit customers daily, like manicures, and properly and personally, as it would seem from the reading of the ac count, perform the office of brushing the teeth. Bo sanguine are theintro ducers of the new scheme that they as sert that "many a gentlewoman who hitherto has been -unable to find con genial employment will, in denticure, secure an occupation at once interesting and remunerative." rrnnes and AppntHHti. The fact, stated the other day by a contemporary- in a letter to the editor, ol the writer's belief that the de.ily eating of prunes is a preventive of appendicitis is an interesting one. The letter cited the record of a fruit valley in California whose 75,000 residents should he in con stant menace of the trouble because of the continuous fruit season and the habit of eating seeds. Yet not one, it was re ported, had ever had a symptom of ap pendicitis, and the correspondent, as has been said, attributes this immunity to daily prune eating. The gently laxative property of this fruit is well known, and it is probably this action which makes it of value. Its action on the liver, too, is beneficial, and it has besides a considerable nutritive ex cellence, making it a valuable family food. It is a good plan to prepare 5 or 10 pouncia at a time, saving time and having it al ways ready. Let the prunes stand at least four hours in water enough to cover them. Then put on in a little cold water just enough to kep from burning and stew very slowly, closelv covered.

It would hardly be thought that if would be worth while to construct a machine expressly for the cutting up of old ties for fuel, and yet the operation of a n w shearing machine which is used for that purpose is said to have been found most satisfactory. The blades are about eight inches wide, with a clear ance between them of about one inch, sc that old spikes, etc., can pass through. The machine is driven by a belt wheel and runs at about 20 strokes a minute, cutting 120 cords of wood per day from ties and telegraph poles. The pieces are crushed in cutting so that they can be split lengthwise with an ax. Lumber man. Celtic lilood and Girl Rabies. A curious and interesting fact given by the register general in his statistics for 1813 is that in the Celtic portions of the United Kingdom the proportion of the female births is much higher than it is in the non-Celtic portions. The highest proportions are found in Cumberland, Cornwall and north Wales, while south Wales is only a little way down in th list and has a proportion considerably above the average for the whole country. The proportion of female births is higher in Ireland and Scotland than in .Eng land. Cardiff Western Mail. GENIUS TACKLED THE OLD PIANO. And All It Asked In Keturn Was a Cap ol tiie fetrocfcest. Well FilleL At the foot of East Ninety-second street and just a few yards from the Astoria ferry house is a small cottage which has been transformed into a bar room. At one side a pavilion extends some distance out over the water, and in this pavilion are a piano and many tables and chairs. The place is a great resort for the young men and women living in the neighborhood. Anybody who likes is allowed to sit down at the piano, and as dancing is the favorite amusement in the vicinity the instru ment is constantly in use, the result be ing that it is all out of tune, and when touched makes noises not unlike those made by a combination of small boy, tin pan and stick. It would be hard tc convince anybody that music of any quality could be got from the battered instrument, yet on Decoration day music such as is seldom heard outside the very highest class of concerts was ground out of that piano under circumstauces quite extraordinary. It was about 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, and the pavilion was crowd ed with men and women, young and old. Tho young people had been eing ing and dancing, when suddenly the girl who had been playing the pianc rose from the stool and ran to tho other side of the pavilion. As she did so an unpleasant apparition made its appear ance. It was a tramp, with long hair, unshaven face and a general greasy ap pearance. His clothes were in tatters; his toes stuck out of his ruptured shoes; his old hat was battered and torn. The women began giggling, r.nd one of the young men, a youth of the Jimmy Fresh typo, shied a piece of crust at him. Tho man paid no attention to the people, but steered straignt for the piano, his eyes threatening to pop out of his head as ho gazed at tho instru ment. Just as he reached tho stool ar.d was preparing to sit down a waiter ran tip and grabbed him by the neck and threw him nearly across tho pavilion. "Y'ou git," he said. "What the devil do you mean by coming in here anyway J7' The tramp picked himself tip, looked around in a dazed fashion and some what plaintively and much more husk ily said: "Jcs' let me touch her up a bit, parlner. Y"ou won't bo sorry," and started for the piano again. No one in terfered with him this time, and seating himself on tho stool he ran hi i fingers over the keys in a fashion which mt.de his audience open their eyes. Two 01 three times be ran up and down the keys, and then suddenly ho branched off, and in a second he was rendering a most exquisite bit of music,. It was the "Tranmerel. In a style which was absolutely faultless the pianist played it through, and when tho last chords of the exquisite melody had been sound ed he suddenly began Mendelssohn's "Song Without Words." This also he played Ihrough, and then he rose from the piano stool and looked around him, and a smile broke over his dirty face. "Say," he said in a husky voice, "ain't that worth a drink?" No one made any reply. At first the people seemed dazed. A stout German was the first to recover. "Y'es, he said, "of course you can have a drink. Hey, waiter, come here!" Then turn inur til tb trann 3J" will VOU havfcS" I 1 -r I -v. FASHION S 1884. Boston Budg'et. "Whisky, and pay, waiter, plenty of it." After tossing off tho liquor as though it wero water the man turned to the German and said, "Friend, if yer'll promise me one more drink, I'll play you something else that'll tickle you if yer anything on music." "Go on," replied tho German, and the tramp slid up to the piano again and was soon in the middle of Chopin's "Twelfth Nocturne. Finishing this, he played Iioff's "Cavatina, and then springing up cried out, "Give me that drink quick, and I"ll go." He grasped tho liquor that tho waiter brought him, tossed it off and started for the street. Tho German followed him. Outside he stopped him and said: "See here, friend, I want you to tell me something about yourself. Maybe I can help you. The tramp stopped and looked at him a moment. Then he burst out laughing. "Every one that hears me play wants ter help me. Fer two years people have been trying ter help me. All I can say ter them i3 that nothin but liquor'U help me, and it'll takeer lot of that ter. Well, I guess you won't help me the. way I want, so I'll leave yer. Good day, and he started down the street. The last seen of him he was entering a saloon on tho corner below. He went in the side door. A moment late he came out of the front door a little more hastily than he entered. The German shook his head and returned to tho pa vilion. For five or ten minutes the tramp and liia remarkable genius were the sole topic of conversation. Then somebody started banging away at the piano, and in a few miuntea the place had regained its wonted tone. New York Sun. Qili Praise. "Mrs Winks can't say enough in praise of her new servant."

T was a beautinl Sunday morning in the early part of June. The sweet breath of rosts and honeysuckle laded the fresh, country air. Sejfroes in wajrons, bnetries, carts, on mule back, horseback and afoot were wending' their way to church. For weeks a Xg "revival" had been in progress at Wilson's stand, and this bright Sunday moraine was to witness the crowning- act. Brother Petty bone Peters, in all his dusky dig-nitv, would bury thirty con verts beneath the baptismal wave of a neighboring; dam. Oh, for the happy contentment of the negro. With his coarse, everyday par me n ts he lays aside every perplexing care and dons with his jfaudy Sunday at tire a mind at ease with all the world. No fears of a threataned drought; no reflections of prassy cotton disturb the serenity of his soul during the sermon. No (rnilty panjs of con science about the chicken which dis appeared from "Mars John's'' hen house Friday night and attended preaching in a lunch basket the next day. Aunt Dinah Brown was a shining light at Wilson's stan 1. No one could sing louder, shout longer, or groan more intensely. Mer voica excit-'d the admiration of the brethren and the envy of the sisters. Now it happened on this occasion that Aunt Dinah was sick an l could not attend tha meeting. If there was one thing, however, upon which she prided herself more than upon her own faithful attendance at church, it was the strict way in which she was training up her only son. Sambo. Deep down in her heart she secretly hoped that Sambo would some day succeed Brother Peters at Wilson's. With natural pride she aat on the doorstep and watched her young hopeful start to church. It must be admitted (with deep humiliation) that Sambo, in spite of his religious training arid godly ex ample, in the form of Aunt Dinah, was brimful of original sin, and no sooner was he out of sight than he left the road and started on a rn across the cotton field toward Rock creek. Here he was joined by another boy, and together they trudged along the banks of the stream. "Where's de bait, Dick?" asked Sambo. "Dey's in my britches pocket," was the reply. Dick cut two long caries, fastened lines and hooks on them, and handed oue to the delighted Sambo. "Now, look here. Sambo, you'se got on yo Sunday clothes; what yer gvvinter tell yer mammy case yer gits em dirty?" asked Dick. "I gwine tell her Sister Viney wus so overcome wid de sperit dat she faints dead away in de pool, en I jumped in fur to fotch her out," an swered the inventive Sambo. In the pleasure of catching an occa sional minnow. Aunt Dinah's preaching and Sunday clothes were alike for gotten. The day was warm and the water invitingly cooL For some reason the fish did not seem inclined to bite, and Dick grew tired lounrrmg on a fallen tree watching his cork remain mo tionless on the surface of the water. 1-T S 1 f, 1 -s 4 (L f J -V' ;r M' i oh, lordt! oh, LonDr! At length his cork went under, and he jerked with such force that he not only sent a surprised little crawfisa flying up the hill, but entangled his line in a grapevine high above his heal. He threw down his cane In dis gust and slid into the water. "All de fish in dis river is de kin whut runs back'ards. I's gwine to quit fool in' wid 'em and wade in de water." Sambo watched Dick splashing about until the temptation could no longar be resisted. Rolling his Sun day pant high above his black knees he too wa led in. Seeing a large spider on an old stump near the bank, Dick was cau tiously approaching with uplifted stick when an unearthly yell from Sambo made him tumble headlong over the stump.sp'uler and a!L Sambo stood in the middle of the creek and yelled: "Lim'ms loose! Lim'me loose C Dordyl O Lordyl I'll neber go fishin 110 mo on a Sunday ef you'll lim'me loose dis timet" Dick sniffed the air as if expecting Sts "VJtt jr ft?" V. (sj to smell sulphur and looked ia every iirection for bis aa tanks majesty t ppar upon the scene horn, ta.;;, pitchfork and all. Seeing no ou La ventured to ask: "What de matter, niggar? What's rot yer? I don't aee nuflnT "Dat's hit!" yelled the miserabio Sambo. "'Cose you don't see naiUn, cose hit's de debble, an' he's got met by the toe. Don't you fcca me a tinkin'? Lim'me loosal Lita'mj loose!" Dick would have taken to his heels it once, leaving poor Sambo to his fate, had not an idea suddenly oc curred to him. Golly! Nigger, de debble don't lib In water, kr.se it would put lii fire all out. Pull out by dat ava pi in iar. I'll bet my ole hat you'se cots a bt whalin big eooter." Acting upon this suggestion, iab pulled out, continuing to yU: u "Lemme loose!" Feeling himself fairly caught by tb king of the lower world. Samba was not a little surprised to land, aa Die s bad predicted, a large Rocky crsak cooter. Dick was delighted. "What did I tole you. n!,vei? Whoop! lie's er whale! You d ies cotch de finest cooter in dis crick. Sambo." But Sambo refused to be comforts i lie could not see it in that light. "I ain't kutcU hi in ha kotoh, ia. O Lordyl" Dick suddenly grew serious. "Dat am a fac. Sambo; he is kotch you, and he won't turn you go till hit tlm nd res, nather." Visions of dragging the cooler borne and of Annt Dinah's righteous indignation arose before the unhappy victim, and he wailed louder tUs'. ever. He rolled his eyes skyward in t' vain hope of finding a tingle clou 1, but nothing but a clear expnnse of blu greeted his gaze. No pronpect of thunder, and the cooter clinging with a death grip to his great to. Dick experienced a sudden inspiration. "Sambo, I's gwine fool dat corttr. I's gwine roll dis little rock down ober dat big one, and cose he gwics think hit thunder, and let you go see?" Dick rolled and re-rolled the rock, but the cooter had more Intel in-r than they credited him with, u l re fused to be deceived. "Sambo," said Dick, with an air of depression, "w'y can't we don cat dat cooler's hea 1 oil?" Sambo was willing. Anything to feel the sweets of lib erty once more. With trembling hands and a dull Barlow knife, Dick began the decapi tation. Sambo's kicks and his own tears lest the cooter trausfer itsclutc i to one of his fingers, made it a slow an l dangerous operation, and lia-1 tbo knife been sharp Sambo's leg would have in all probability "lot go in stead of the cooter. When the body at last tumbled back into the creek Dick gave a fehout of triumph. Bat in this cais!, as i u all others, the way of the traa'rt'a sor was hard. The ghastly head still held its clutch upon Sambo's too as if it was the one offending member, The boys were thoroughly convinced that nothing short of a thunder storm, Xerhaps a cyclone, could persuade it to let go. Sambo resumed his cries and once more vowed never to go fishing ou Sunday. Dick thought he saw a way out of the difficulty at last. "Sambo, I know dat toe is got to grx Hits de only way. Jes say de wor I, an' I'll whack her off name as I don dat cooter. Hit won't hurt i" iimre'ii yo' mammy's beatin' when she m: dat bead hansfin on dar, an' you'll still hab 'ntiiT toes lef fur to wear yo' shoes on Sunday." Sambo would have consented to sno rifice his toe as a means of si.-aps had not the head at this moment turn? i loose of its own accord. Without a a instant's delay both boys fled froi the scene of adventure. Sambo gave his mother a full (if imaginary) account of the big meet ing, and when he exclaimed in hii sleep, "Lemme loose, Mr. Debbif!" she was thoroughly convinced of Lis call to the ministry.

STATIC JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 24, lE-iABKABLE STATEMENT. tV Topeka Attorney Saya Twasty 6an Pao pla An Coafintd at th Asylum. A strong Intelligent locking man with broad shoulders and a handsome coun tenance etood before Judge llazen thi3 fciorning, and asked for his release from he state insane asylum, llis name is I'atrick McEntee. lie wti sent to the asylum from Pcttawatocjie county nearly six years ago. There is nothing- in h's actions or con venation which would indicate that he had ever been a fit eutjeet for the asy lum, and ha recalls without hesitation the events conceded with his incarcera tion, lie was sent to the asylum as a dangerous man, having made an assault upon a neighbor with a knife. It is now asserted that he and th 3 man assaulted became involved in a quarrel and a tight was the result, in which McEntee worsted the other man. Well McMillan who hai been an at tendant in the institution for three years tsays that during that time McEntee has shown no evidence of insanity and that he has never considered him insane. McEntee owns a farci in Pottawato mie county and was a well to do farmer when he waj sent to tie asylum. Pro tests against his release have been made by his guardian and other people around his home who seem afraid of the man. John Brun the fornn-r steward of the asylum says that McEntee was insane when he was put in the asylum. W. F. Kightmire tte attorney who asked that McEntee be released, says that there were about twenty inmates in the asylum who were not insane when the present managotxent took charge, but that the board cf charities has been slow in taking action. The only question raised was that of the jurisdiction of the court and Judge llazen took the question under advise ment Dr. McCasey, the superintendent of the asylum was preseit and said that McEntee had shown no evidence of in sanity for three months or more, but that he considered his mind enfeebled Ly the attack. lie said that he had made inquiry for relativos of the man bo that he might tend him to some one who might look after him until ho is fully restored. HOW :iAXr SCAVENGERS? The City la In Doubt .ti to tha umber Entitled to Ant. There is a question ;ust now whether Topeka hus one or more scavengers. Early lat May a scavenger ordinance was passed by the city council providing ttiat the ma3-or should appoint one or more scavengers, and the mayor at once appointed T. W. Durhnm. An effort was made to have one or more additional men appointed, 'but the mayor has so far neglected to act thougti he told a Jour nal reporter today that he would proba bly make additional appointments when the work increases as it does in the fall. Under the old ordinance there was no upeeial provision for the scavenger and the functions of the otfioe were exercised by as many as had the necessary sanitary apparatus re paired by the ordinance. One of the men who assisted in keeping the city clear of tilth was M. E. Eow. When the new ordinance was passed he kept on at work and he is still working, though he Um received no appointment from the mayor, lie tendered the license fee of fou to the city clerk but it was re f used. Mr. Durham had intenled to get out an injunction to atop Low but so far nothing has been done. It is understood that Eow will tight the ordinance on the grounds that the council has no right to give public work over to the charge of one man, when the individuals for whom the work is done pay for it themselves. aIjuT docket Xa Already In Sight for tha September District loan.

Vebb Ilarris.druggiats, Bennett's Fiats A THRILLING EPISODE. An Kxprasa Masr. er.r ltunnlasj Oat of Topsk IJadly Scrd. An express1 agent running between Topeka and femith Center had a thrilling experience one night a short time ago. The night was dark aud cloudy and the train was going about 45 miles an hour. The agent had locked himself in his car and was preparing to check up the bundles. He w as not long in notic ing that two long boxes, containing cof fins, were among the other express mat ter checked for Manhattan. All was still in the car except tha rumbEng of the wheels and the soughing winds. It we.s only natural, therefore, that the agent should jump about six feet into tue air on hearing a voice apparently in ono of the coffins say, "Let me out! The express agent drew his revolver prepared for anything and inquired: Where are you';" "Let me out!" Well, where are you?" "Lei me out," was all the answer he could get in a tone like a voice from the tomb. The express agent was not superstitious but he was by this time thoroughly alarmed. He unlocked the re ar door of the car and summoned the conductor, brakeman and porters. It was Lis in tention to open tue caskets if necessary and comply with thevrequest of the mys terious voice. One coffin was placed at one end of the car and the other coffin at the other end. Then the express agent inquired: "Where are you now?'' "Let me out!"' said the voice, not from either colSn but from a pile of miscel laneous express matter where they had been. Stealthily and with arave fears of the result the crew began further inves tigation expecting to hud anything from a highwayman to a wild-man. They did not ind either however, but down towards the bottom of the pile they lo cated the voice it was a parrot. A RECORD BROKEN. Soma Interesting Hum About th Holtoo Hlcycl Meer.

Aii Old Story Itevl ve I and. Sent Out liy Telegraph. Secretary Semple of the Populist state central committee, denounced a story which appeared in the Chicago Herald under a Topeka date line, in which his brother, Matt Semple of Ottawa, was con nected with a sensational penitentiary story. The Herald story said Matt Semple, who was at one time a guard at the pen itentiary, but had lately been discharged, was the author of tho story. The story which was originally print ed ia the Troy Chief, without any name being mentioned as its author, told of a convict who was sent to the peniten tiary for murder, and pardoned by Gov ernor Lewelling. He, it is alleged, first agreed to conduct the goveru jr and War den D.ck Chase to a place in Franklin county where a valuable treasure was buried which he had secured in Arkansas and had buried before he was arrested. Secretary Semple denounces the story as the worst kind of a fake, an i says his brother Matt has never teen employed at the penitentiary and could not bo the author of such a story. Another brother Sam Semple, was a penitea'iary em ploye, but he knows nothing about the story told by the Chicago Herald corres pondent.

In lireaklns the News to Her of the Late Lamented' Sadden and UaUmely De parture He Does It With th.n Courtesy of a True Gentleman. i I was rid in out from the town of Perry when I cuius across a woman and Eve chil dren camped in a wagon on an alkali claim. Iwasa goin by without stoppia when the woman calls out to me: "Stranger, I'm a feelin a leetle bit shaky about myole man. Mebbe you've passed him on the road?" "Mebbe I hev," says I. ""What's yer per ticular distress about yerole man?" "He's bin gone two days, lookin arter stuff to build a shanty, and raebbe he's met with a mibfortin." "What sort of a critter was he. If I may be so bold?" says I as I rid a little cluser. "Xutbin to brag of, but jest farish as crit ters go. I could hev done better, and I j. might hev done c wuss. He bossed the children, butl bossed him." "Did he hev any pertickler looks, ma'am!" "Not so very per tickler; he was too lazy fur that. He was a small man, with red hair and whiskers, and was shackelty in the knee jints." "Was his front teeth purty long O.V3.-' and purty yaller. ma'am?" EE picked the CRITTER "N ow I think of UP IX KANSAS. jt they was." "And he had a voice with a squeak in it, the same as if sunthin needed to be iled up?" "He had. When he tried to sing a song, the children's ba'r alius curled up in hard knots. Stranger, I reckon you must hev run across my Ebeneezer Skinner sum whar." "One thing further, ma'am," says I as she throwed two of the children outer the wagon to let 'ern hev a fa'r fuss on the ground below. "Did the late lamented hev any pertickler weakness of character that ye kin handily remember?" "He had a heap of 'em, stranger, but if I was to name any pertickler one I'd say it was the habit of sorter K'ttin hold of sun thin belongiu to somebody else an hangia on to it like a dog to a root." "And I kin take it that the dear departed had objecksbuns axin dyin?" "You kin. He had lots of pepper, but uo sand. What had he bin a-doin, stranger, jest afore ye met up with him?-' "Stealin stuff fur his shanty, they said." "And was it a proper hangin?" "Perfeckly proper, maam- -perfeckly so. Tbey Kin him 10 rninits to sorter git used to the change of climate, and when he spun itout to 15 nobody kicked. I've seen a good many huskin bees of the sort iu my time, but I never seed a more proper one." "Did Kbeneezer seem to be much put out about it?" she asked after cuffin one of the children for pinchin the baby. "He did, ma'am he did. He couldn't Ekassly bring hisself to realize that he wag goin to leave Cherokee. Sum critters are purty slow about sich things, you know." Whar did they bury him?" "Right thar, ma'am, and it may console ye to know that he wasn't in no trance when they Laid him away. No, thar wasn't no question of his bein plumb dead, and I'll give ye my word he won't leave thar in a hurry. As the crowd was a leetle short handed on funeral obsequies, I helped to drap him into the hole myself." ""That was powerful kind, bein as ye had never met him before." "Waal, ma'am. I'm alius willin to ohleege a feller critter in distress. He gin his name and money to the feller who bossed the hangin, and if that feller hain't pressed with bizness he will probably hunt ye up in a day or two. Would it be im perlite to ask ye whar he got the horse hu was ridin when the enthusiastic populace overtook him and extended the invita shun "Oh, not at all. He picked the critter up in Kansas as we cum along. It wasn't jest the critter he'd a-picked outer a drove of 50 with all day be- fore him, but he r C did the best he riO could under the 2X carcumstances." "y7 'i- "I don't doubt It, ma'am, and I may say the crowd didn't 'pear to doubt it either. In fact, the owner of that boss was thar to gin all the per ticklers. I noticed that the late la mented was also iu""""HAT's the ghasshop posseshun of arifie PER FUR?" that he didn't hev no pertickler use fur, bein be could hev killed two or three men., but didn't fire a shot. Would it be too much fur yer sorrowful feelin's to say whar that, gun was diskivered?" "Sartinly not. Ebeneezer lifted it outer a wagon one night when the owner was sound asleep. It wasn't jest sich a weepin as be would hev selected from a wagon load in the day time, but he was limited in his choice, ye see." '"I sees the pint, ma'am. Yer Ebeneezer sorter froze on to auythin he could lift, I take it?" "He did, and a thing bad to weigh a ton to discourage him. D d he menshun any thin about me or the children?" "Not in the English languige as she is spoke out yere. ma'am. He probably meant to, but was rushed with bizness just then. No, be didn't say cuthin, and yit be sorter looked at me in a yearnin way as if he wanted to ax me to ride over yere and break the sad news end tell ye to sorter disguise that yaller hoss out thar afore his owner appeared. I'm a-takin it that yer Ebeneezer also picked him up as ye jour neyed henceward?" "Yes, he sartinly did. It hain't much of a boss, but Eben only had two hours in which to find him, and it was a dark night." "I" might arrange it, if it would console jei perturbed emoshuns, to bev yer dear departed brung down yere, whar ye could gaze on his last restin place as the sua went down and the shadders of twilight fell upon the nirth." She thought it over fur a minit and then replied: "It's very kind of ye, but I never did keer to hev my husoands' graves hangin around, as it were." "Then this yere Ebeneezer wasn't the fast?" "Not by several! Stranger, he was my fifth husband. It wasn't uiy habit to wait rXt over four weeks between 'em, and I don't see why I should make any change now." "Not the slightest reason fur it, ma'am. Jest ye git another and go right to work on this land. I'd offer myself, but I'm out here on a mission, as they calls it." "And what might it be?" she asked a; her foot struck the oldest boy and upsot him. "Exhibitin of this grasshopper in a bot tle and a-sellin my magic cemeat and Cher okee sassyparilly. Both wanted in everj household. When ye hain't usin one, ust t'other." "What's the grasshopper fur?" "Fur to show off my goods. I break off hh leg9, stick 'em on agin with my cement, and by the aid of one dose of my sassyparilly the hopper is all right next day. Carry tht livin proofs right with me, ye see. Kin I say any thin more to sorter soften yer sud den bereavement?" "Not as I knows or, and I thank ye fut yer great kindness. Hold on a minit, though. V hen ye ar' ridin along ye may cum across a decentish lookin man about 40 y'arg old. Mebbe he'll be a lone man, s'archin fur the comforts and blessin's of borne. If it hain't puttin ye out too much, ye ruiht stop that man and say to him that ye've jest met up with a headed away for the widder with fire claim. children and an outfit and a claim. The widder ar' a bustler at workin and savin, and the children ar' almost too good and purty fur this kentry. That widder is sortei lonely way off yere, and them children is a-cryin more or less fur a father, .'float man ar' a-lookin fur the best thing in all Cherokee, tell him to put spurs to his hoss and never stop till he gits yere." "I'll do it, ma'am, and I'll do it properly and with pleasure, and if the kuss happens to be on foot I'll lend him my critter and fire three or four shots arter him to make him hurry." I think I brung consolashun to her sor rowin soul, fur doorin the day I met and spoke to about 20 different reptiles, all of whom headed away fur the claim with their critters throwin dirt 20 feet high behind 'em.
