THE 311 II I) Eli OF WARE. A Sju I'ranelco 1jhi Who "a Too Fmui nt Wonien. 8x Francisco, Dec. There is absolutely uo clue to the perpe'rators of the horrible murder of Eugeno Ware, the drug clerk who was so foully murdered about 1 o'clock Friday morning as he wa3 preparing to leave the ttore for the night. The police seem to be absolutely in the dark, their main efforts being- di rected to tracing the youuer man's past and his associates, both male and fc7mde. The robber theory h -s teen abandoned I and the motive for the murder is now ascribed to jealousy either on tae part of some one for a woman's devotion or of a j discarded sweetheart. Ware was on familiar terms with a number cf women, so many of his female friend calling to bee hirn at the drug store that the pro prietor was obliged to interdict the&e reception-. The number of wounds on the dead man's breast indicate fury on the part of the murderer and many believe a wom an's scorn wielded the fatal kaifo. Neith er money or valuables were removed irom the dead man's person, nor the store and the only theory considered tenable is that a woman is directly or indirectly responsible for the crime.

This de cision is regarded as a triumph for ihe British diplomacy and it i- al-o siguiti oaut as indicating the existence of an An glo-JJusso-Franco entente.

Two Xew York Hankers (five Their Money Views. 3ir. St. John is an Easterner Favorable to Silver. HE IS AN ANOMALY. S.ivs Stroiis1 Tliinirs About Cleve land and Carlisle. OnlvOne National Hank Indorses Carlisle's Flan. Washington, Dec. 15. Great interest was manifested today in the closing hearing on the question of currency re vision before the committee ou banking and currency of the house. Mr. Carlisle was present at the open ing of the session. The bankers to be heard reported two widely divergent views. President (j. G. Williams of the Chemical .National bank of New York represented the prevailing views among bankers, while W. P. Sr. John of the Mer cantile bank of Sew York represented the eastern view favorable to silver. The presence of Mr. St. John had drawn Senator Teller to the hearing anxious to hear the views of an eastern silver man on currency rev ision. Chairman Springer read a letter from President Post of the York National Bank of Y'ork, Xeb., endorsing the Car lisle plan. Representative Johnson (Rep-Ind.) asked why this letter was chosen to I.e read when many letters giving different views were received. It was explained that this was the only letter received from a national bank endorsing the Car lisle plau. There was some sparring over the let ter aud Mr. Springer withdrew it. There was added iutetost in the state ment of Mr. Williams, who opened the hearing, from the fact that the bank of which he is president has the largest de posits in the United States, if not in the world. "The situation is one requiring firmness aud common sense," he said. "The lirst problem in our clumsy and conglomerate financial system is the dis position to be made of all our legal ten der notes." He urged that these notes be funded fifty millions at a time until they were eliminated from our financial system. Bonds at o per cent should be received as security of national bank notes on a basis of par for the bonds, the govern ment to have a first lien on the assets of the bank, d'hese notes should be rn deemabio in .New York city and when issued in sufficient volume and being readily convertible, would furnish ade quate elasticity to tho currency. The tax on the circulation of national banks should at once be removed. As to the Baltimore plan, Mr.Williams said it would bo eafe iu large cities, but it might start many mushroom banks merely with a view to it.-ue notes, ami the failure of such banks would caue lo-s to the whole system. Conservative and wedl managed institutions would ab solutely refuse to join hands in meeting the losses sure to arise from these mu-h-room banks. After landing the legal tender notes and givinir a new national t- ink issue, Williams said the next step was to lock after the silver certificates and Sherman notes. The latter were amply protected by the one Honored millions in toe treas urv. As to the sliver certificates con gre.s should pass a law redeeming them in silver bullion at its market value at the discretion of the secretary o."' the treasury, and it rnisrht be well to simi larly redeem the "Sherman notes. With t hese changes our currency system would become absolutely sound anil our bann. intr system the most perfect devised. Mr. Williams was questioned as to the eouaition of his own bank. He said its capital was ft.'l'JU.OUO. It has a surplus of iJiiOO.UOU. The undivided profits were more that Sl.UOO.UOO. The deposits reached :10,' UU,0b0. probablv the largest in the United States, if not in the world. The dividends were 150 per cent annual ly. The bank stock sold for $4,300 per share of $l.oU0. President St. John lent much spirit to the hearing by the vigor of his state ment and its novelty as coming- from an eastern banker. "Under official dicta tion,'' he began, "tutored by the one most aggressive of our handful of 'goldites' in the United States, congress riddles with bank notes while the burning issue is our primary money; coin. "Identically tutored, our chief execu tive has required his secretary to aban don the option conferred by the law upon the United States and grant to holders of the United States notes the right to exact gold always, silver never, as their redeeming coin. Had the option to redeem in silver dollars been exercised boldly at the time when only three million silver dollars were owned by t:ie United States, with an ownership of 1K million gold, any possible alarm could have been laughed to scorn. To attempt to seize upou aud exercise the option now, or under immediately pros pective conditions of the treasury would be to court all the perils of disaster."

The mayor took a neat package out of his pocket at the meeting of the council last night, and the members of the couq cil waited anxiously for him to unwrap the mysterious package, half expecting that the mayor intended to award a medal to some faithful member. They were disappointed when he dis played two ordinary looking pieces of btotie which looked as if they might have originated in some pre-historie age. "Here yon see something," said tho mayor, "and what do you think they are':" The council looked perplexed. 'Do you know," continued the mayor, that you may have something like those in your stomachs right now:'' The. city fathers looked frightened, but the mayor hastened to say: "This is what is in the water we drink, and that we pny the water company for." "Tins one," aud he held up a red for mation, "comes from the water when it is slightly heated; and this other," and he held up a trrayish formation, "when the i water is boiled. And still the water com- pany dares to say that they are supply ing us with good, pure water."

Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 15. There were two remarkable incidents in connection with, the Fraker casa yes terday. One was the arrest on sus picion of Will Stuckle, alias R. E. Kehl, a witness for the insurance companies whom they were unable to find, which reason they gave as a grounds for a continuance, and the discovery that he had been in the city for eight days, stopping at the Mid land hotel with the attorneys for the insurance companies. The other was the positive statements of Mrs. Alex Ilussell of Oklahoma, and Dr. Harry 11. Sullivan, that the Rev. Charles S. Mason of College Springs. Iowa, is the missing Dr. George W. Fraker. The statements were made after being al lowed an opportunity of seeing the gentleman and studying his features caref ully. Another sensation was the testi mony of Dr. King of Excelsior Springs. He said that Fraker was neither man nor woman, but a freak of nature. This was backed by the testimony of Dr. Sullivan of Excel sior Spri ngs. So far both Bides have introduced positive testimony as regards Fraker's sex. The plaintiff has introduced testimony showing that Dr. Fraker's income was large enouirh to maintain the life insurance policies, amounting to S jS.odO, taken out bhortly before Lis d isapoeara nee. The defense, on the other hand, has many witnesses who testify tiiat Fraker's income was small. The average amount was about SI, M0. This would not maintain $"5,000 in life insurance, and the defense at tempts to create the feeling that the policies were taken out with the in tent to defraud the insurance com panies. til OK Ell WiLL NOT A 1 PEA It Tbe Tammany Ho4J Declines to Cio lie fore tlie Leiow Committee.

Currency Committee Still Con siders Money Question. Mr. Warner Says Carlisle's Scheme is Xot Elastic. MASY 3IEX ARE HEARD Democrats Agree to Report the Carlisle Bill. Washintgtox, Dec 15. Ex-Representative Warner of Ohio, president of the Bimetallic league, addressed the house banking- and currency com mittee yesterday on the currency, going into the principles of the entire currency question. He urged that an elastic currency, such as Secretary Carlisle suggests, was an impossibili ty, and that prices rose as fast as cur rency increased. Mr. Warner said the history of the world proved that the gold standard could not be main tained by giving to the banks the power of expanding the currency. He was amazed that this proposition should be made in this enlightened age, in the face of the financial ex periences of the world. Enoch Piatt, president of the Balti more clearing house, was next heard. He said with regard to the Baltimore plan that it embodied his views. Speaking of the fifth section of the Carhsie bill, providing for a guaran the fund, he said it would be safe if the strong banks could be got into it, which he considered a oubt fill. Among the letters and telegrams read by the chairman was a telegram from John it. Walsh, president of the Chicago national bank saying that it had been impossible for him to leave Chicago this week, but inviting at tention to the letter he had written to Comptroller Eckels. The letter to Mr. Eckels was also read. in this Mr. Walsh states his objection to the Baltimore plan. They were that it does not provide adequate security for the notes; second, because it throws on the treasury of the United States the burden of redeeming the notes of failed banks; third, because the people would never receive the notes of any bank not properly se cu red. He added that the Baltimore plan is nothing but a revival of the old New York state safety fund plan, a system which was abandoned long before the organization of any na tional banks. In his opinion, the proper way to deal with the currency is for the government to issue an ir redeemable z t per cent bond, which could be made the basis of circulation for national banks up to the amount of the capital. A long discussion arose between General Warner and Mr. Sperry over a question by the latter as to the effect that an increase of the circula tion would have upon the price of labor. Mr. Sperry called attention to a statement by the treasury de partment showing that the circula tion in 1873 had bien $771,000,000, whereas, in 18t3 it was overS-,00.-000,000, and asked him how how he reconciled the facts with the decrease in wages. Mr. Warner replied chal lenging the treasurer's report of t he gold in circulation at the present timn which he said was $200,000,000 beyond the facts, and by referring to the in crease of population and wealth. Mr. Sperry did not consider the reply as adequate and intimat-d that if Mr. Warner's theory had nothing more to stand on, it must fall. J The hearing was resumed in the j afternoon with A. L. Ripley, vice president of the National Hide and Leather bank of Boston on the stand, j He characterized the scheme of issu- j ing disnand notes redeemable in gold as thoroughly vicious. Colonel Jackson of Jackson Cur- tis, brokers, of Boston, followed Mr. j Riplev. lie urged a provision in any bill that might b-? support Jd by the j secretary to begin in January, 1 to cancel 94,000 0o worth of United I States notes each month until the en- i tire o it stand ing amount should be dis- posed of and to sell bonds if neces- j sary to accomplish this result. To pass the Carlisle bill without any addition would, he thought, fall far short of restoring the confidence j of the world. j VS report the Carlisle Bill. W.ish;t,tov, Dac. 15. -The Demo cratic members of the banking and currency committee held an execu tive meeting immediately after the adjournment of the regular hearing, and after an hour's discussion decided -to report the Carlisle bill without amendment. It is understood that Representa tive Bland has given up all hope of getting his free coinage bill out of his committee, and hai determined to of fer his bill as an amendment to the Carlisle bill in the house. If it is de clared not to be germane, he will ap peal from the decision, giving the house an opportunity to vote on the proposition.

Pay Rolls fop November Show an IB crease of Earalnji of 15 Per Cent. New York, Dec 15. R. G. Dun fc Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Dun's review is enabled, by the kindness of several thousand manu facturers who have forwarded otate ments of their pay rolls of November, this year, in 1893 and in 1S92, to make a very encouraging comparison of i S or that month, which shows an increase in total payments I of 15.2 per cent over last year, but a decrease of 18.3 per cent in compar ison with 1S92. A statement cf hands employed shows that in the same es tablishments 10.2 per cent mora per sons were employed than a year ago, but 8.6 per cent less than 1S32. The average of earnings for over 250,000 hands is 41 per cent larger than ia ISO'S, but 13.3 per cent less than in 1S92, and this statement takes no account of hours of work in the months com pared, or of the establishments now working at all this year. In some of the industries more hands are at work than in 1S'J2, but in others the de crease is large. Contradictory changes in business are quite in order at this season. Neither the larger orders in eome branches nor the depression of prices in others afford a safe indica tion of the general movement. But the working force does not lessen more than usual for the time of a year and the demand for goods does not seem to diminish, though in some departments it is considerably below the capacity of works in operation and the volume of business transacted is a little larger in comparison with last year than in November. The speculative markets have ad vanced a little, throut'h reasons hard to find. Wheat is unchanged in price, although Western receipts are as large as they were last year and At lantic exports are 831,205 bushels, against 1,029,000 a year ago. Corn is a fraction weaker without anv im portant charXge in movement though the receipts continue remarkably large. The heavy receipts of cotton have broken down the price to $5.75 in spite of a strong speculative in terest looking for some recovery from the lowest point on record. Hank learinaro. New York.

Many Entertaininff Feature! and Who rrodnced Them To ISe Jtepeated Tonlsht. The home talent minstrel show at the Grand last night was a corker a burnt corker, as it were. ihe house was crowded on the lower floor. The curtain went up at 8:40 and re vealed forty Topeka young men of whom, in justice it should be said, they were not so black as they were painted. In fact they were some of our best young men, and their presence on the public statre was in the interests of a new and 11 rarishiug charity in Topeka. the Kin dergarten association. The big audi ence was taere largely from the same motive. The bones and tarnbos. eight of them, were in the regulation end-men attire They hai a vast expanse cf starched bosom and collars, such as are never worn off the stage. John Siargnt was the largest of them, and he looked just like Policeman lucks. And J. F. Myers, the typewriter man, bore a strong resem blance to a brownie. Lindsey Peg ties had a regular Primrose West diaieet. Paul Torriugton had large red stripes and a diamond larger than a dollar (but less valuable), and people said. 'Tsn't he cute'r" Frank Alderson's make-up bore a strong resemblance to James Phil lips, the mineral water king of Kansas, and the other end-men. C. S. Swartz. O. L Sheldon and Wood were just a3 funny as any comedians wiio have been in To peka since Joe Cawthoru was here a week ago. The remainder of the talent, who were merely there to sing and look pretty, had on Turkish or Arab costumes. Col. Hughes was to have been there but at the last moment he found he was too modest to wear divided skirts. Fach had a large red star on his head-gear, but whether this was meant as a sign of authority or an advertise ment lor a brand of plug tobacco was not explained. A. W. Dana made a great interlocutor. Please understand this "great" to be spelled in large letters. The function of an interlocutor 13 to ask "why. at a time when it gives the end men a chance to "bring down the house,' and he did this in aa elegant and reverberant way that has never been surpassed. There was only one thing that was neglected. Business Manager C. li. Mer riain failed to have any small rope on the stage to aid those who lost their "lines." Ever since that memorable day eariy in the '0 is when Col. bam Kadges struck town with -his directory idea, there hasn't been a minstrel show without several al lusions to him and his dog. These were reiterated last night. There were some other good things about prominent citi zens and Cliff Holbert. The interval between the first and sec ond parts was very long, but the audi ence waited, knowing they would be re paid by some elegant stage settings. In about forty -live minutes the curtain went up and revealed Mr. Crawford's cele brated woods scene in the background and a kitchen chair in the foreground. Frank Alderson and Will Whitton, in their joke specialties were all right. Mr. Alderson was much livelier than a pas tor's son is supposed to be. The juvenile musical sketch by the little Hughes brothers of North Topeka was one of the funniest features of the whole performance. The people pres ent had seen worse dancing- than Messrs. Head and -igg gave. The specialties by James Scully were decidedly Irish and he was brought back twice. The Aeoli an Mandolin club closed the second half with a selection under the leadership of Howard Lawrence. The most meritorious feature of the evening was the presentation of the com edv in one act, "My Lord in Livery," by Georgia II. Brown of Lawrence. Robert Pierce, as "Spiggott," the old family but ier, was excellent, and A. W. Dana', as Lord Thirlmere, the hero, won much ap plause. Eva Brown and Abbie Wilcox of Lawrence, added to the charm of their parts by their beauty and clever ness. Little Ted Holliday played a minor part, but he did it well. Georgia Brown is always good There is little criticism to make, and only in details. The reference to Smoky Row is in bad taste, and the telephone business, that brings in the name of a well known druggist, is questionable. An unpleasant reference to our Jewish citizens, some of whom contributed to this charity, which occurs in a recitation, ouffht to be eliminated.

The Machinery for the New Woolen Mill IS ON THE TRACK AT ARGENTINE. Bat Can't Be Ie!ivcred at the Mill Here Bfrauic an Agreement Can't Be Iteaolieil About a Nwilrh Wliat'fi to be Ionf. There seems to be another little diffi culty about the matter of getting the Oakland woolen mill started and the citizens of that little burg as well as those of Topeka, watched with much in terest the outcome of a meeting of the stockholders that was held in the office of C. J. Prescott this week. The building is all completed and ready for the machinery. The machin ery is on the sidetrack at Argentine where it has been since last August when it was brought from Maine in a train of fourteen cars, and is valued at 000. Wm. Appleyard, who is to manage the mill, formerly owned the machinery and it was in his Sebee, Maine, mill. The contract with the Santa Fe company for its transportation reads that it is to be delivered a' the mill, but the spur has not yet been built or decided 011 and as there is a jangle about that it is not likely it will be soon. There is plenty of material on hand for the track but the difference lies in the route. Three surveys were made by the Santa Fe and one agreed 011, but tho miil company has agreed to furnish the right of way and wants the route changed to lessen the property condem nation. Until this difference is settled there must bo a delay. There is also a little matter of $800 due the Santa Fe for transportation, and that will have to be paid. If it is not paid, and the machinery is held for it. about twenty workmen who have not yet received all their remuner ation for the building threaten to bring twenty mechanics' liens. Mr. Appleyard now demands the sec ond payment of $3.7.jO from trie woolen mill company, but the company, at its meeting, decided that it would not pay it till the machinery was at the mill and until Mr. Appleyard gets the railroad company to build its spur he will not get the money. It is a critical time for the woolen mill. The whole matter seems now so near fruition that it ought not to be allowed to fall through. EXCLUSIONS SANTA FE ROUTE. HO M KfKEKERs EXCt'lflON.

A Look at the Legation Building From Arrows the Street Some Appalling Fig ures of War and Famine And fctill the Heathen Itage. Specia.1 Correspondence. Washington, Dec. 13. It was 23 years a'0 last April and in the rather diugy old courthouse in Evatisville, Ind., that I first met and talked with Colonel Charles Denby, whose recent experience iu China has interested all Americans. II -3 had several kinds of tal ent and considerable learning, but I think if I had been charged to select a diplomat from the entire southern In diana bar he would have been among 3-' COt.OVEL CHATtl-EB DPVP.T. the last I should have thought of, for hi.-, ul ilititiS certainly seemed to bo in other lines. lie wan a cplendid looking yountr lawyer, tall and well made, quite fair, with soft blue eyes and medium hair and a voice that had a sort of ap pealing or care-sing tone iu it. A Cleveland .Mystery. Coloml Denby was then in tho full tide cf success as a rising lawyer and t'jpeciully as an advocate in criminal cases, while I was just admitted to the bar and turning an occasional dollar by reporting evidence for the old fellows, but ho was always very friendly to be ginners. IIo war, born in Virginia- and educated at a military school, but went to Indiana in early manhood, and early iu the civil war became lieutenant colo nel of one of the state's regiments. In the fall of ho resigned, and as it was often charged that ho did so on ac count of tho emancipation proclamation, and it has nevt-r been donied, thttt must stand as history. He was extremely conservative on all the questions of the time, and when warmed iu a speech his southern accent; came out quite no ticeably. lie stuck to the law faithfully and made mmey, paid little attention to politics, very si -Flora mado a ppeeoh and seldom or never sought a nomination or took tt lending- part iu party manage im. at, raid just how and why he was ap pointed minister to China is a Cleve land my.-tery. Nevertheless we have the uniform testimony of all who know, including tho Chinese legation here, that ho has made a success of it and is. extremely well liked at the imperial court. The mere far-t that ho bold over u Republican administration and still holds the place is a high proof of his FUcess. On cue point, however, he seems to have been seriously mi -taken and to have overestimated his Chinese friends, for when he was hero last he was vi iy positive that Japan would not dttelait) w;ir against her big neighbor, and that if she did she would gain not hing by it. It is impossible) for a correspondent to even get into the building occupied by tho Chinese legation, and very few congressmen can make it in these trou blesome times, but anybody can stand in the rtreet and admire the somewhat curious structure. It occupies probably tho mo-t commanding and advantageous point iu the city namely, at 270:j Fourteenth street, on tho very crown of the hill in the northern section. At first view it seems a rugged and irregular pilo of old red sandstone, and it would take a college of architects to describe the style, but this very ruggedness gives it a sort of grandeur which is attract ive. Minister Yang Yn and all the at taches are extremely busy, and only tho interpreter, or, as they call him, student translator, Mr. Sze, S. K. A., has time to talk to any one, but as he has noth ing to do with any business until it is completed and ready for print his talk is not iu tho nature of news. Chin- as s Trader. In the beautiful library of the state department are several late reports on China and a few bound volumes just is sued from the English press, but it would give an ordinary American the blues to read them. The Fuglish have penetrated almost everywhere in their zeal for trade and have even mapped out and to a great extent surveyed the rapi'is, shallows and cataracts on all the largo rivers of the empire. But at the end cf it appears a rather melan choly plaint in the very last report that the trade of China still amounts to but one-thirtieth of Grreat Britain's exports and one fiftieth of her imports. They find a sort of consolation, however, iu the conclusion that, small as it is, it equals that of all other western nations combined. The agents whose statements are summed up ia this year's report find some encouragement in the increas ed willingness of the natives to tolerate Englishmen, but if half they say is true life in that country is certainly not worth living. The best cf these volumes are "Three Years In Western China," by Alexander Idosie of the British con sular service, and "China and Her Neighbors," by R. S. Guudry, a minor British diplomat, and they bring the description down to midsummer 1893. As every fellow writing for the general press on China contradicts every other fellow, it is a real satisfaction to get views taken on the spot by men who -.v never mention their religion aud do no profess to have any extraordinary mor als, but merely want to find out how the people lire and how much they caa whack up. Slightly Anti-Mongolian. Mr. Hosie was tha first Englishman and probably the first Arvan since Mar co Polo to explore the province of Yun nan and all its bordering regious, and he finds that a very large proportion of the people are not Chinese; that a region comprising nearly one-half of the em pire is capable of sustaining but a very ecant population, and that in all proba bility the figures on the swarming mil lions are grossly exaggerated. A nervous man or one of delicate susceptibilities really has to hold his nose in reading Bome part3 of this report, there is such a painful monotony of dirt and poverty, kicks aud cuffs, hunger and foul weath er, with the most debasing superstition and utterly reckless aud indiscriminate lying. In the western part of Yunnan he seriously questions whether any man really believes his most intimate friend. In short, if one reads and believes Mr. Hosie, ho is compelled to conclude that our California friends were quite with in bounds, almost too moderate, in fact, in their anti-Mongolian invectives. All who talk on the subject seem to agree that there is some radical moral defect in the present day Chinaman. And truly the history of the country seems to indicate that it needs a revo lution and the infusion of a fierce and vigorous element. There appears to have been a regularly recurring cycle in Chi nese atTairs. Firit, there was an inva sion by a barbarous but energetic race, which gave tho country a forward im pulse. Then it degenerated rapidly to tho stagnant condition, and with stagna tion came cowardice, after which there Were decay and retrocession till the next invasion or revolution. All the world has heard of China's extravagant claims to an antiquity so great that a littlo discrepancy of 20,000 years is accounted a trifling variation, and the most crit ical western scholars allow her an au thentic history of near 3,500 years. I confess to being so impressed with this fact that I cannot form a lively concep tion of a young Chinaman. Every man of tho rc.ee looks to me as if he were thousands of years old. The knowledge of ago in the race completely overcomes the sells of youth in tho individual. War and Famine, I am even more overcomo by the ap palling figures in their accounts of war and famine. Man seems but a weed in these awful regions. Bome lu,000, 000 were slaughtered in a war w hen the population of the country was supposed to be scanty. Our own civil war caused ns to overlook tha great Tai-Ping rebel lion in China, and yet at least 7,000,000 lives were lost in that struggle. The British agents think that 9, COO, 000 died in the last famine, and, as for the mil lions osi millions drowned in tho various overflows of tho Yellow river, it makes one sick and fatigues the imagination to compute them. To understand the present condition, however, wo need only begin with (Jen ghis Khan, first emperor of the Moguls and Tartars. His history has been writ tell by the Chinese, Persians, Arme nians, Syrians, Arabians, Creeks, Ilus sians, Poles aud Hungarians, and we may certainly credit each of these when they describe their own disasters and humiliations. For 20 years ho poured a continuous stream of barbarians upon all his neighbors, and the southern Mo hnranifaians admit that in the battle of Juxartes they lost 160,000 men. He J overran all the present Chinese empire j except that part known as Yellow Chi- j na, and in view of what is probably go- j ing on in that region now it is inter- j est ing to read that at tho siege of Po- king in the year 1212 the inhabitants were compelled by famine to devour j their slain fellow citizens. Tho Chinese j .historians arsa mat- tney lougnr. as long as they could stand, and when their reg- ular ammunition was spent they dis charged ingots of gold and silver at the foe, but the Moguls undermined tiie city, and the great palace was destroyed in a conflagration which lasted 130 days. Thjs was the beirinuing of Mogul or Tartar rule in China, but there have been several revolutions, and the pres ent, or Ming, dynasty dates hack but 2). 2 centuries. Tho very latest docu ments at the state department show that our relations with China were at their very best just before Chinese affairs reached their worst. The treaty con cluded here the 1 7th of last March by tha signatures of Secretary Gresham and Minister Yang Y'u has been ap proved by the Chinese government, and ,-rX i ml i 'i THE CHINESE LEGATION BCILDrXG. Minister Denby has received many as surances of a willingness to extend the most liberal terms to Americans engag ed in business in China. The Chinesa frankly admit that they don't take to missionaries, but show an increasing liking for traders. J. H. Bi-adle, Original I'se ot Church Bells.

''Gentlemen, I presume all of you have at some time or other noticed a sign, 'Keep Off the Grass,' said the man with the crutches as ha came into the smoker and sat down after much effort. Most of us assured him that we had met such a sign at some period of our lives, and he continued: "And the minute you set eyes on the Sign you had a rebellious, defiant feeling. In fact, you took pains to walk on tho grass. Am I correct, gentlemen?" All of us this time assured him that he was perfectly correct on the grass question, and that, furthermore, we never had seen a sign of "No Admittance" without be ing tempted to enter upon the premises. 'Thanks, gentlemen, thanks!" blandly exclaimed the cripple. "I am glad to find that I am not the only fool in the United States. Naturally enough, when one sees a cripple, he has some curiosity to know how it happened. Good manners oppose inquiry, but in this case I will volunteer to give you particulars. Perhaps some of you know where Kit Carson station is, on the Union Pactflo roadF I take It for granted that such ia the case; also that some of you may have noticed a pet bear there belonging to the station master." '"A half grown cinnamon bear chained to a pole. I saw him," replied the black whiskered man with the brier root pipe. "That's the one, srentlernen. Ha was as big as a house when I saw him, but maybe he was only half grown for all that. All around that inclosure were eign3 of 'Danger! Don't Approach tho Bear!' My eyes no sooner rested upon those signs than my proud American spirit revolted. In other words, I was seized with a wild desire to approaclu "And you approached?" queried the blank whiskered man. 'T did. To show these United States that I couldn't bo bluffed I walked right up to that bear. I didn't caro a copper whether he was a polar, grizzly, cinnamon or plain black. The beast was muzzled, but as I reached him he rose up cn his hind feet and" "And reached you?" "Exactly. Hu hadn't much to epnra that day, but he gave me all he could. He got his lore legs around me, gave me one squeeze, and when he let up I was as you see me now a cripple for life. No; I shall never be any better. Sometimes I think how nice it would bo to have the use of my legs again, and then acain I'm glad I haven't. If I had, I should go to a circus and menagerie some day, and I should ex pect to tee on the casre of a Bengal tiger a sign reading, 'Don' Put Your Finger In His Eye.' I should rebel. In would go my Super to be bitten off, and before I got out doors a Numitilan lion would probably get most of my nose and a hyena at least one of my eyes. No; I guess I'll let well enough alone.

"Mamie, Come Kiss Your Honey Boy," may be a foolish song, but as sung ty the minstrels last night it is a most "tak ing" melody. It was far the best song in the whole show. A Topeka oll'eader says his idea of trouble would be to be "charged with an offense before Justice C. P. Bolmar, with Rev. C. M. Sheldon on the jury and W. E. Dom to defend him.

The choruses of the Kindergarten minstrels are without doubt the best amateur male choruses ever heard in this town. The minstrels should maintain their organization, and give musical en tertainments. It is a pity to dissolve and let so much music go to waste. Griggs Axtell sell hardwarh cheap.

Roman letters are said to be supersed ing script on visiting cards. Yesterday a Topeka girl found a fresh green four leaf clover on the Rock Isl and depot lawn. She is fond of sleigh riding but can't see how this is a good omen that she will soon enjoy one. Two of Topeka's brightest society girls are now on the staff of a Kansas City paper. The Topeka girl who was at home yes terday afternoon was as the Irishman won id say out. Tlie young woman who isn't too busy having a gown made, these days, to fin ish up all tho Christmas fancy work she has planned, is in luck. The one who does accomplish the bitter under any cir cumstance is a freak. A lady manicure in Topeka has a num ber of men as regular patrons; one of them a prominent and iulluential politi cian. There is one advantage attaching to the Grand opera house. it is that each row of seats is so much above the one in front of it that the high hat has no ter rors. At last Dame Fashion vindicates her self. A small card bearing the lejetnl, "No presents," is one of the latest en closures with wedding cards received in this city. When a girl nnkos her debut in socie ty it is a signal for her friends to quit using her nickname iu addressing her. but she frei piently remains Dottie to them to the end of tlie chapter. One Topeka man says of another: "The Yale lock on his door has a margin around it of an inch that has all the paint scratched oil." Perhaps it's a case of wanting keyhole3 of assorted sizes on occasions. A Topeka young man who is grieving that he cannot attend the next bail to be given by his crowd, says its all because his beat girl refuses to go unless she lias a new gown. It does not seem to occur to him to ask another girl to go, and yet some folks say the dear fellows are tickle. Said a Topeka lady this morning: "The man who has learned from habit to talk about the high hat nuisance at a. theatre, sat behind a lady last uight at the Grand. Stie wore a hat which consisted of a cir cle of velvet with a single rosebud and a tiny feather on it. But he talked about high hats until he disturbed everybody iu bis vicinity, and he climbed over ev eryone between him and the aisle three times during the evening to the infinite peril of the ladies' gowns." "How shall the press the people's rights maintain'.'"' Never better than by advertising Dr. Price's Baking Pow der. AFTER ilEDWKLL ASYLUM. Keiileiits of NortH Topeka Say It Ih a. N uiMi&ua'e. Geo. Kimmerle and forty-five others presented a petition to the city council last uight asking that, Bedwell's private asylum be removed irom its location iu North Topeka. The council has had complaints before this about the asylum but, this last peti tion was prompted by the trouble result ing from an insane patient who persisis in escaping. He gets away with his shackles on aud then hunts around through the yards and houses in the neigh Dorhood to lind a hie with which he can rid himself of the manacles. Councilman Holman said last night that the man had escaped three times and had terrorized tue people in the neighborhood continually. "Ihe asylum is a nuisance," said he, '"and the council should take steps to abate it at once." "I don't believe," said Councilman Bradford, -that the couueii can do any thing of the kind.

Kr.w York, Dec. 13. Almost any vrotnnn can manage to look attractive and well dressed iu tlie .street, but it i3 not every one -who ctsu or does take the pains to look well at home. It is one thing to have au outdoor dress with all its concomitants and to put the whole ontfjt on at cu.ee and take it off again on entering the house, and another to ket p up a supply of rsertt and dainty homo frocks. Trie first is comparatively easy and too often done. The second re quires several attributes in the woman. She must be neat by nature, refined an.l artistic through teaching and instinct, and she rnu?t respect herself and he: home life. Given all these things, the woman will always be sweet and dainty and a pleasant picture to look on, even though she is old or her gowns are ol calico, and few at that. All this sage reflection was invited by a pretty sight that accidentally came tinder my eyes today. I saw a young mother sitting by tho .side of her littla daughter. Her husband is a physician, and her income is not overabundant, but how few women with plenty of money would have looked as dainty and sweet as she did, taken unawares! She had a neat striped cheviot dress flecked with white over tho drab and brown stripes. The skirt was plainly finished anl shirred at the slim waist. The waist itself was the new bias blouse, belted in ana with a band ot embroidery around the neck and down the front. It wai slightly open in the neck, and there A g- s. i V v tv r A DAINTY HOME ATTIP.K. was a wide collar of Venetian point. The materials were so plain and tho make was so simple, and yet there was the subtle charm of individuality about it, and the teatness that made it per fect. 2"ov, why cannot all women dress as carefully as that? Her little girl had a silver gray serge, made with a yoke and braided with black soutache. The skirt was plainly hemmed, but the little frock was: as at tractive in its simplicity as the sweet little wearer. With all the richest frocks iu the country no child can be well dressed without the stamp of neatness. When' neatness and proper style are ob served in making clothes, the result is tlie best dressing. I know ono lady who is so careless that she will put one dress on over an other when she goes out. She does not do it on purpose, but she forgets. She is not a well dressed woman, though I know her garments cost much. It is not the cost or quality, but the care and stylo that make tho woman a pleasure to strangers and a treasure at home. Now, I know an ultra fashionable lady whose clothes cotrte from afar. She has the deepest of maroon cloth in her new gown, and she lias the sweetest of bonnets, and at this day of grace she has a most elegant moire coat. It is long, of superb quality, and it is border ed with fur and lined with brocade. Tho sleeves are enormous and half of Lyons velvet. There is heavy Vandyke guipure upon it, and as she moves along tho street people are apt to say, "What an elegantly dressed woman!" but seo her at home, and you would give the praise to the doctor's industrious wife. Tho doctor's wife stays home, studies the fashion papers, makes her clothes and sings tit her work. The other buys a silken gown and a dolman opera cloak and sits wearily in her box, to be stared at, and goes home dissatisfied with wh it she has. My object in saying all this is not very clear even to myself, but I dimly feel that I am trying to make it plain that fashionable dressing is not all of it. There is something beyond and above a mere following after a leader, and a woman may be well, becomingly and tastefully dressed with a small outlay if she will but pay attention to her gar ments and have her home attire her prettiest and neatest. She lives at home and for hr home, and there she shouM look her sweetest. And, if she wants to, iJL ii ii. sa mrocery. i bi LOW nni'E CUOCLRY Everything you want at prices Yvithin your reach.

This woman, in this present instance, w a s passably plain, but she hatl knowlcdfre and m;i jrne tism. 5 I1' Ml iT T o m Itenton first met Ler when he was a bachelor. She was sweeping' the pavement in. front of a tidy, unpreten tious frame dwelling, at Atlantic Citj-, and not seeing- him had thrown much dust into his eyes. Apolog-ies followed; her dictation and modula- i.-ir-, t n i- A t 4 n rra t it .i, i i -i v-;th her trmrrham and her menial position, and as Benton passed on he fell to wondering-. And that night, by luck, her jrotvn caug-ht in a nail in the board walk just as he happened alon;; in time to extricate her. And then she threw more dust in his eyes, i Her name was Cora Iventley. Or dinarily close-mouthed, to Kenton she told much. She lived with her grand mother she said. (irantlma was a Russian, wealthy, peculiar, and had rented a little cottage in an out of the way street at Atlantic City. UranJ ma never went out and Cora did all the housework. Only three men ever called at the house the butcher, the baker, the milkman. For a month Denton and Miss Lent j ley were boon companions. Their tastes were identical, their logic ran to the same syllogism love, life and death were all material bits that were immaterial. One day she passed him with a tall, sioister-looking man in tow. The man said: "It must be done quickly," t gave the conversation a passing thought then. Later he thought it over. That evening he heard that a Cap tain iSkolski, a well-known Russian, who stood high in the Russian police, was making a short stay at one of the well-known hotels. For three days he saw nothing- of the Lentley woman. Then his morn ing paper enlightened him. The ar ticle was headed: "The Police Puz zled," and ran as follows: "Mrs. Ivan Palitj-ki, a Russian, was found dead in her bed this morning at 4156 Atlantic avenue. The deceased had lived in the house for the past three mouths, her only compan ion being a domestic, who, no doubt, finding her mistress dead, tied for fear of being arrested. There were no marks of violence on the body, and death was no doubt due to natural causes. Mrs. I'alitski was arrested ten years ago in Moscow charged with being a Nihilist; but owino- to rrreat, nolitieal influence, she I ,,0 aA idc try. Xo papers were found in the house when the police searched this morning, but her money and jewels were found intact, showing that if foul play was meditated, robbery was not the motive. The servant had evi dently left the house last Mondav for Mrs. Palitsky had been dead for sev eral days. Tommy Benton's marriago in the fall was a brilliant one. Everybody IF.R HEAD WAS PILLOWED ON" HIS BREAST. who was anybody was there. Of course the bride was the prettiest bride that anyone ever b.a.vv. Like wise the presents were as handsome as anybody remembered to have seen, and half of the invited folkss thought she was far superior to him. Then six years sped around and s l 3 f n 1 upiu grewcireu 01 touovviuj iur. ana .Mrs. isenton ana went on 10 attend to other -oung folks. Benton was a bit more attentive than most married men. and knew no clubhouse or had

no business that kept htm late at n'ffht. For six years he had never

spent a night away Irom It is wife. And one morning he woke up and carne to the conclusion that he was horribly bored, that he wanted to be free and that his love for hia wife was a bit of Quixotic imagination. The whole morning he thought the j matter over and then partly to get away from his environment and part- j ly for a change he took the train for New York. He walked around the 1 city aimlessly until about 3 o'clock and then he walked to Central park. J A woman passed him and half turned, j There was something familiar in her j face and figure and he walked after I h'er. t "Cora," he called, and &he turned j to him smilingly. j the put out her hand and said: "I S tried to avoid you. Tommy Benton, j for both our good, but," and she crave j a little sigh, "you have made that im- pot ibl'1 now. lam not a fatalist, but j Qm i ym im 1 j 'i J ll 1 1 Juctive of good," and she smiled agasn n that e uig-ma. tical way of hers. "Let's sit down," said Benton, and they found a bench. "Well," he said after a long- pause, "I am disillusionized. I woke up this norninsr and found that I was not, in J 'ove with my wife. Possibly that was j aot the underlying thought, for the -eal fact of the case is that I want my i freedom. Mature never cut me out to j oe a domestic inau. I haveu't as much i sentiment possibly as the majority of I 'iien, but I will bay that since I have i been a married man I have always j icted as such. I want my freedom j now, and you, Cora, must tell me how to pet it." She pursed her lips up and said, with j some show of coquetry, ''Me?" I "Yes," he said. "Vou. I am going1 to ak my wife to get a divorce. If j ihe does not accept well your grandmother died suddenly, didn't I btie? And there weren't any marks of violence on her body." j "There usually isu't any mark of violence on the body of one who has 1 died a natural death, said the irirl 6.. "Possibly not." he answered, "and I want my wife to either get a divorce or die a natural death, "and he looked at the girl fixedly. The girl was siientfora little space, i Then she said: "Why bhould I help you, Tom, to get an inotl'ensi ve wo i man out of the way?" f "Because, he answered slowly, "I want another inoffensive woman to take her place." Their eyes met. Her lingers were working nervously and the toe of her boot vvajs describ ing untreomctrical circles iu the gravel as she answered: "I will help you." i He was trying to be calm, but his i lips shook as he asked: "Can I meet l you here Wednesday afternoon?'' "Yes." she answered, "and I will urjDy. tne drops with me." Then the woman in the case dropped the sen- ous and began to be as other women. with the smile on her face, and after a space, hiding her thoughts. Kenton took the 5:30 train for Philadel phia. That night he and his wife were playi ng euchre. Ueutoa was dealing. "Nan." he began, "I'm tired of mar ried life. I want to be fre-e. Will you get a divorce from me?" There was a scared little look in her face as she glanced up at him. "I'm perfectly isane, Nan, and ter ribly in earnest. I never will a thing unless I do it. You know me enough to understand that. I'll give you grounds for divorce and then you sue. Clubs are trumps." "It would kill me to sue for a di vorce, Tom.1' "You'd better do it. Nan, for I mean to be free. You riniged there. I played a club and you put a heart on it. Your mind's not on the game." She played the hand on without speaking. Then, when he had handad her the cards, she said trem ulously: When do you want my de cision?" "To-night is Monday," he said. "Say Wednesday morning before I go to business." "All right, Tom." They played cards for a time, and 1 tiien siie took a book and he his PaPer- j Stle cried bebiQd her book- but he j read tbe stock reports carefully. Then "elIL lu ueu" I'm sleepyy too." he said, "and a good night's sleep won't hurt me." Just as thev were about to retire j she asked as a favor that the window be closed. "It's a trifle chilly for May," she explained, "and I've got a 1 bad cold as it is." I He was just about dozing off when 1 he heard her getting up. "What is j it, Nan?" J "My throat is parched, Tom, and I j want some water." "Let me g-et it," he said, starting I tip. "No never mind, dear, I'm now up. j The water is on the bureau here, and I'll light the gas a second." I She lit the gas, drank a tumblerful of water, and then put her hand over her heart as if nerving herself for an ordeal. Then she turned the light out and crept into bed again. She put her arms around her hus band and said: "Tom, dear, may I put my head on your chest tonight, and sleep as we used to when we were first married?" "Certainly, dear," he said, "only don't forget that you give me your answer Wednesday morning." "I won't forget, Tom," shu said. And putting her head ou his chest she fell asleep praying. The next morning the cook smelled g-as. For over an hour she smelled it, and then went up stairs to investi gate. When she came near the sleep ing apartment of her mistress tne e cook-s mental observation was that either Mr. or Mrs. Bentoo must liave inadvertantly left the gas on all nig ht. And so the coroner's jury decidedj It was a very deplorable accident, said everybody, for the couple loved each other so. And the policeman who opened the door when sum moned by the cook testified before the coroner that Mr. and Mrs. Benton looked like lovers, for lie was smiling and her head was pillowed on his breast. Saved the Mn. Magistrate Jelfs of Hamilton, Out., has adopted a method of correcting erring youths, which has also been tried in the United States. Two boys, convicted of wilfully breaking windows, were fined, but their parents were notified that the peualty would be remitted if the offenders were adequately punished. Accordingly their fathers applied the cane to them in open court and saved the tine. i haraob' Death.

STATE JOURXAL, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 15, 1894 OFFICIAL NOTICE OF THE WORLD'S FAIR AWARD TO Dr. Cream Baking John Boyd Thacher, Chairman of the Executive Committee on Awards at the Col umbian Exposition, writing from Washington, D. C, to the Price Baking Powder Company, says "7 herewith enclose you an official copy cf your awiri, ?thich in due time, n-i!l be inscribed in the Diplcma, and forwarded to your address, unless ether wise indicated by you." Thus are the Price's Baking or. at the World's Fair fully verified. On the other hand the claims to awards at the Fair by a New York Baking Powder are proven wholly false.

The do tails, as related, are of more than or dinary interest. Mr. W. P. Power of Powmanvil'e, who has bei.'ii reeve of the town for eighteen years, and also for a long time warden of the united counties of North u mbi Hand and Durham, decided to take a trip to the old country for the benefit of his health, which had been consid erably impaired for Hie last two years or more. Mr. Power was an under taker by trade an 1 a native of Devon shire, England. His medical advisers thought that the air of his rmtivo heath would bring him back, to health and strength. He was aeeompan:ed to the old land by his wife and family, and. when relatives and friends were expecting t hem back to i.'aualu, sad news reached IJowman viile as well as a most singular request, Mr. Power, feeling that lu had little time to live, personally cabled to his brother-in-law, a few days sine?, to send over their foreman undertaker, the dis patch enjoining the latl er to bring w-:th him embalming instruments. While the friends of t ho absent gentleman were making preparations to send the man over to England another and more pressing cabio crraru arrived asking the foreman to hasten his departure, aid also to bring a metal-lined coffin. As a matter of course there was no time to lose, and Mr. Denuet took passajre on board the Dominion liner Vancouver at once. Carrying- out his master's in structions, the faithful servant is taking over with him the eofiia and other articles required, a. id the poor man is sad enough in hav'iDjr to de part on such a mission.
