WILDEST EXCITEMENT Prevails in Colorado Over the Occurrence. Mob Seems to Be Absolutely Fearless of Law. Cuchara Junction, Cola, March 13. A mob entered the Wakenburg jail early today and killed two more of the Italians charred with the murder of A. J. Hixon. Five Italians in all have beeu killed. The others were killed last night. One of those shot today was wounded last night, La3t Sunday night Abner Hixon, keep er of a temperance saloon at House was assaulted by a company of Italians. While one named Antonio Gobotto held him Lorenzo Danino struck him twice on the side and back of the head with a ta ble leg1. They carried him some thirty rods north leaving him near the door of John Leibel, who found him in the morn ing just breathing. Nine arrests were made. As a result of the coroner's inquest five of the pris oners were held for trial. Danino was brought over to the jail at Walsenburg about noon Tuesday, and the four others with deputies Earl Danford and Charles Ilarriman and driver Joseph Wellsby started after six o'clock in the evening. When on a bridge less than a mile from Walsenburg, six men on horseback, masked or disguised, rode up, ordered the driver to stop, the deputies to hold up their hands, and the prisoners to get out. The horsemen began shootiug, frightening the horses, which ran into a wire fence. The driver was killed by an accidental shot.' One Italian was wounded in the breast and brought to town, the other three have not. been found. About 3 o'clock this morning the jail here was broken open and Danino and the wounded man shot in their cells and killed. The coro ner's inquest over Wellsby is now in ses sion. INTERNATIONAL, DIFFICULTIES. The Italians Killed at AValsenberg Were Not Naturalized. Walsenburg, Cola, March 13. The United States may have an international complication on its hands as the result of the mob violence here last night in which live Italians who were believed to have been unnaturalized, were killed. After the attack on the wagon party last evening as described in the Associated Press dispatches last night all was com paratively quiet until soon after mid night About that time seven or eight men wearing masks, knocked at the door of the jail where Lorenzo Danino, who was charged by the Italians with having struck the blow that killed Ilixon on Sun day, and the Italian wounded in the wag on attack, were confined. In answer to a question, the men said O'Malley, the sheriff wanted to enter. As soon as the door was opened the guard found guns in their faces. Part of the masked men then went to the cell where the two Itilians were con fined and fired eight or ten shots. Each prisoner received four or five bullets. One died instantly, but the other lived a short time in great agony. No trace has yet been found of the three Italians who were taken from the wagon, though they were killed beyond a doubt The list of dead and missing is: Joseph Welsby, driver of the wagon, Lorenzo Danino, Pete Jocobiny, Antonio Gobotto, Stansilo Vittano, Francisco Roc cetto. The other five BUBpects had been re leased from custody before th8 mob arose. Some fears were enter tained at Rouse last night that the Italians who there outnumber the Amer icans, and other nationalities might rise up and attack their neighbors in revenge. Nothing of the sort happened, nor is it much anticipated, but the feeling is so intense that should an uprising occur the Italians would be exterminated. ITALY TAKES IT IP. The Italian Minister Calls Attention to the Colorado Killing. Washington, llarch 13. Marquis Im perial!, first secretary of the Italian le gation, called at the state department and directed attention of the officials to the news from Walsenburg, CoL, of the as sassination of four Italians. He asked that the good offices of the state depart ment be used immediately to prevent the further killing of his countrymen. THE NEW It. OF L. Grand blaster Wilson Says the New Or der's Prospects Are Fine. Pittsrukg, Pa., March 13. General Master Workman W. B. Wilson, of the in dependent order of Knights of Labor, who is ia the city, is very enthusiastic over the prospects of the order. He says that originally the Knights of Labor had a membership of 75,000, and that fully two thirds of these have joined the new organ ization. The only districts of any consequence remaining true to the old order are locals in St. Louis, New York and Brooklyn. The first general assembly of the new Knights of Labor will be held in Wash ington, D. C, in January, 1898. BISHOP TH031AS' FUNERAL. The Services at Grace Cathedral At tended By m Great Ihronr. The funeral of Elisha a Thomas, bihop of Kansas of the Protestant Epis copal church, was held at noon today at Grace cathedral. The damp, cold, dreary day seemed to add to the sadness of the occasion. Bishops from four states, and members 1 of the clergy from every portion of the state were present and took part in the funeral' service. -.These, with the visiting laiety, the students of Bethany college, Topeka Episcopalians and other friends and admirers of Bishop Thomas filled the church to overflowing. Shortly after the hour of noon the cof fin was borne from the bishop's residence in Bethany square to the church by the pall bears, I). C. Nellie, C. J. Brown, F. E. Holliday. P. G. Noel, Dr. S. E. Sheldon and William Henderson. Tiie escorts were more than a score of stu dents from St. John's military academy at Salina, in full dres3 uniform. At the church to a subdued dirge on the pipe organ, the funeral party headed by the bishops and clergy, marched to the chan cel. The clergy were followed by the pall-bearers, the casket being concealed by a huge mantle of royal purple, the bishop's color. Next came the widow of the bishop, heavily veiled, supported by her two manly sons. Rev. Natnaniel Thomas and George Thomas of New York. The choir beaded by Prof. Leib followed, and the students of Bethany college and St. John's academy came next. The latter stood in the aisle dur ing the service. The chancel was beautifully decor ated, more than forty Easter lilies being among the decorations. Prominent among the floral tributes was a cross' of large proportions and intricate design' from the young la dies of Bethany college. Conspicuous also was a floral mitre from the gentle men of the vestry, and a bishop's crozier of roses from Mrs. Dr. Sheldon. The lec tern was draped in purple as was the bishop's chair. Rev. Dr. Beatty of Newton, the acting bishop until Mr. Thomas' successor is named, read the scriptural lessons of the Episcopal ritual. Bishop Tuttle of Missouri knelt at the colli n-side and offered a prayer that was moit touching and perceptibly affected the audience. Bishop Tuttle himself was almost overcome. After a chant by the surpliced choir Bishop Brooke of Oklahoma offered an other prayer, and Bishop Tuttle pro nounced the benediction. The hymns sung at the funeral service were No. 176, "For ail the saints who from their labors rest;" No. 394, "Oh, Paradise," and No. 670, "There ia a blessed home." In addition to the noon service.there was a morning communion at 6:30 this fore noon in the Bethany chapel; and also at 10 a.m. a service at Grace cathedral by the bishop of Missouri, the assistant bishop of Minnesota, and the vested choir. The remains of Bishop Thomas were sent to Wickford, Kdode Island, for burial this afternoon at 2:30. A large number of the beautiful floral gifts were Bent with the body, 'lhe hearse bearing the body was' followed to the Rock Isl and depot by a large number of people.

The Cold Ware Today- The cold wave todav has been felt all along the line of the Rock Island and Santa Fe, although when the latest ad vices were received sleet was falling west of Nickerson. East of that point it ia snowing. In the southern portion of the state, in the vicinity of Arkansas City, it was raining, but no snow had fallen.. ROSEBERYWILL GO. The Expected Eegsination of the Premier Settled. He Has Determined to Retire From His Office. ILLXESS THE CAUSE. The Event to Take Place After Easter Recess. Date of Dissolution Discussed by the Cabinet. Nkw York, March 13. A special dis patch from London to a morning paper says Lord Rosebery, owing nominally to the present state of his health, has de termined to place his resignation in the aueen's hands. The real obiect of to day's cabinet council was not to consider a matter relatively so unimportant as the succession to the speakership, as has been sriven out. but to discuss the date. of dissolution. It is likely that this long expected event will take place immediately after the Easter recess. TILLMAN'S BLACK EIE. Whisky Can Be Shipped Into South Carolina By Boat at Least. Charleston, S. C, March 13. Judgo Simonton, in the United States circuit court, delivered a decision in the habeas corpus proceedings brought by J. S. V. Jervrey, master of the schooner Carolina and others of the crew, arrested for trans porting whisky from Savannah to Char leston in violation of the dispensary law. The petitioners alleged they were held in custody in violation oi tne unitea States constitution. The court finds, this arrest in violation of the constitution and interstate commerce act and in ordering that the prisoners be discharged from custody, says: "The clause of the dispen sary act, so far as it has been made to apply to the petitioners, is absolutely void." GUARDED THE CHURCH. Father Karminski's Followers Were There Armed but No Attackers Came. Omaha. March 13. All night long a battalion of police guarded St Paul's Roman Catholic church to prevent an other battle between factions of ths Polish congregation. A report had been circulated that the Poles of South Omaha were going to Sheely station .to capture the church. The followers of Priest Karminski flocked to the church heavily armed with revolvers and shotguns. But the anticipated attack did not materialize.

Early this morning he had a bad spelL His physician was hurriedly summoned and applied restoratives and expressed the opinion that the faint resulted from the effects of the medicines. The doctor says the chief danger of his patient will be in the event of in flammation. SPRING DELAYED. It is Winter Again Today and Will be More ho Tomorrow. Mr. Jennings got his instruments to gether yesterday in his room in the Col umbian building upstairs and whittled out a snowstorm for today. It was a good fit and was here at 10:30 this morning. It has been snowing quite steadily but not hard, ever since, and is getting some colder. At seven o'clock this morn ing the mercury stood at 29 above, and this afternoon it is 20 above, and the wind is blowing from the north. The clouds will clear away tonight and the weather will behave itself except that it will get much colder including tomorrow. A winter storm prevails today in the west, with snow from Western Montana to Southeastern Colorado and into cen tral Nebraska, with rain in western Kan sas. The barometer has risen decidedly in the northern states but remains low in the south. Though slightly warmer in Arkansas and eastern Missouri, it is much colder in Kansas and the other western states, and decidedly colder in Montana, the Dakotas and Minnesota, where it is be low zero, Bismarck reporting 22 degrees below zero. The rain in western Kansas will change to snow and spread over eastern Kansas during the morning with con stantly lowering temperature, becoming fair and much colder tonight and Thurs day. MR. WILDER HAS GRIPPE. He Oot It Id w York Where He Has Been Visiting. Mr. Edward Wilder, treasurer of the Santa Fe railroad, is ill and confined to his room.

The city of Topeka at last resents the imposition of the Topeka Water compa nay and a suit was filed today in the United States district court by City At torney Tillotsoa to compel the water company to comply with the terms of its contract with the city or quit business. Judge Foster has set the case for hear ing next Monday. Some time ago the council refused to order the payment of the semi-annual hydrant rental amounting to $7,504 Since then nothing has been done, but the receiver of the company has talked of compromising the trouble with the city. It was apparent that nothing would be done by the company, so City Attorney Tillotson commenced the pre sent suit, which will bring matters to a climax, and the city will know whether it ha9 any rights under its contract with the water company. The suit is brought on the strength of the tests of the fire pressure and the purity of the water furnished by the company, which were made several months ago. It was found that although the company had contracted" to furnish adequate fire pressure, that provision of the contract is being continually violated, and the pressure is sadly deficient. It was also found by chemical analysis that the clause in the contract which says they will furnish "pure, wholesome, water," is meaningless, and that the water furnished is of such a quality that the chemist in his report pronounces it deleterious to the public health." "In consideration of the facts as found existing in the conduct of the water com pany, the city attorney asks that the court compel the company to comply with the terms of the contract with the city. He also asks that fair and equitable rates for water service be fixed by the court The city attorney asks that if it is found impossible or impracticable for the water company to comply with the terms of the contract that the court may order the contract cancelled. If the contract with the city is can celled the city will not be required to pay the $15,000 annual hydrant rental until a new contract is made. It is doubtful if a new contract which would be satisfactory can ever be made. The plans for the new works are nearly finished and may be ready to be presented to the council at the next meeting. MR. EVERSOLE RETIRES. One of the Candidates for Councilman in the Second Ward Withdraws. The contest for councilman in the Sec ond ward has been simplified by the withdrawal of L. D. Eversole. There had been three candidates in the field until last night, when it was announced that Mr. Eversole had withdrawn from the race. This leaves the race to two Santa Fe shopmen Councilman Frank Stevens and C. L. Smith, so that the people of the Second ward may be assured of having a practical workingman to represent them in the council for the next two years. THE CUSTOMARY JUNKET. The Railroad Board Win Inspect All the Railroads of Kansas. The new Republican state board of railroad assessors he.d a meeting today and outlined its work for the next few weeks. It is the purpose of the members of the board to make a tour of all the rail roads in the state for the purpose of as sessing the raiiroad property, and the first road to be inspected will be the Memphis. The assessors will start out on the Memphis week after next, and will then go over the Rock Island, Frisco, and Santa Fe in regular order. EXACTED J1LACKMAIL. Michigan A. P. A. Said to Have Roceived Mone7 From Candidates. Detroit, Mich., March 13. The Eve ning News witl publish today a three column sensattonal interview with a prominent ex-member of the A. P. A, in which it is alleged that a prominent offi cial of the order received some $G,000 from Col. Bliss, one of the candidates for nomination as governor last year and various sums from other candidates. It is also charged that an attempt was made to secure $600 monthly from United States Senator McMillan during the senatorial campaign last win ter. Fac-simile letters between Beatty and members of the A. P. A, state political committee are published to substantiate the charges. Other allega tions of "working" the candidates and appropriating the proceeds are set forth in detail. Karefied Air In Mountain Climbing. This question of loss of breath at great altitudes cannot, however, be tak en as a sure test of the height reached. The state of health of the climbers, and whether they are training in proper or not, whether they have had a sufficien cy of food, and the different states of the weather are very large factors in the comforts or discomforts of an ascent. Count Henry Russell, one of the most experienced of mountaineers, suffered severely on Mont Blanc (15,800 feet), while Mr. Henry Gale Gotch, after an easy ascent of the same mountain, tried the experiment of jumping a number of times over an alpenstock, which he did without any inconvenience whatever, his guide, Henri Devouassoud, how ever, confiding to him after a few days his abiding astonishment at so peculiar a mode of resting after an ascent. Mr. Whymper and the Carrels suffered se verely on Chimborazo (21,424 feet), while, on the other hand, Dr. Gossfeldt on Aconcauga reached 21,000 feet with out suffering any inconvenience, and Mr. Freshfield's party of six did not suffer in any way from the air, though they almost ran np the last rocks of Elbruz (18,526 feet).

All Workmen of Any Color Will Be Protected. No Rioting Has Taken Place Yet Today. Nkw Orleans, March 13. The bureau of freight and transportation held a spe cial meeting to discuss the troubles and decided the local authorities having failed to take steps to repress the law lessness, to request the various commer cial bodies to send delegates to a general meeting, to take the necessary steps to protect commerce, and the lives and property of the citizens. The response to tne call was unanimous. Daring the first session the debate was heated and finally resulted in the adop tion of a resolution appealing to the federal authorities for pro tection, and requesting the presi dent of the United States to intervene in the interest of both law and order, the governor of the state and the local authorties having unanimously failed to meet the situation and preserve the peace. Later the decision to appeal to the president was rescinded upon the receipt of a telegram from Gov. Foster stating that he could reach the city during the evening. Resolutions were introduced pledging the various bodies to see that the labor ing men were accorded ample protec tion in any portion of the city at all times. At the latter session Gov. Foster made a speech in the course of which he said the state troops had been ordered to re port at armories at 6 o'clock today in case of emergency. The following addresses were then adopted; To the People of New Orleans: The acts of lawless violence that have been witnessed on the levee front during the last twenty-four hours, around which wheel of events covering many months which have seriously injured the fair name of this city, call for the expression of the merchants of -New Orleans, We have patiently stood an interfer ence from organized labor, which has cost us and the city and the state many hundreds of thousands of dollars. With our business drifting from us because want of confidence elsewhere born of labor troubles, of interruptions, we have quietly stood by hoping against hope tnat we could by moral suasion and fair offers bring about a peaceful aud amica ble solution. "Every effort in this direction has failed and we find that, mistak ing our forbearance for fear, an armed mob has taken possession of our wharves and landings, de termined to uphold a minority who insi3t that the merchants of New Orleans shall entrust the conduct of their business to them. It is not a question of wages nor com pensation, but simply and solely one of whether the merchants of New Orleans shall conduct their own business in their own way, or whether they shall be dic tated by a handful of employes. We say handful, as the men who insist on domi nating our business methods are two thousand out of about 50,000 male adults of this city. Two thousand who have and do insist that the means of subsist ence of 48,000 and their families shall be stopped unless allowed to dictate. "It is useless to enter into details. The facts are too well known to every man, and woman and child to need recital. The time has come when forbear ance has ceased to be a virtue, we can no longer treat with men who with arms in their hands are shooting down an inoffensive people because they will not think and act with them. "For these reasons we say to these peo ple that cost what it may we are determ ined that the commerce of this city must and shall be protected so that every man who desires to perform honorable labor must and shall be per mitted to do so regardless of race, color or previous condition; no man shall be interfered with in the pursuance of his daily avocation, and that we insist on the right of every employer to hire whom he may choose, and they have their work performed in such manner as he may direct. "We do not deny the right of the men to combine for mutual protection, or to stop work if they choose, but we deny their right to prevent others from working, and we warn these men who have taken the law into their own hands that the conditions they have brought about must cease. We are willing to meet them amicably if they will return to peaceful methods and accept work. according to all men's equal rights. If not they must stand aside and let others work who wilL The levee, the scene of yesterday's rioting, presents a peaceful aspect this morning. Where yesterday's crowds of excited workmen, armed with all kinds of weapons patrolled the river front, nothing was to be seen thi3 morning but squads of policemen, discussing the af fair of yesterday and its probable out come. The police did not wait until ac tual shooting began before they took ac tion, as was the case yesterday morning. Every colored man whose business calls him to the river front today, took a day off and very sensibly kept at home. The various agents who have np to yes terday been working nogro screwmen, told their men to remain away until they were sent for. At a meeting of the agents held last nieht thev decided that in view of the j resent unsettled state of affairs it would be oud policy to attempt to work their colored laborers. They realize that the white screwmen have been worked up to a pitch of fury, and that if an attempt was made to work today that more blood would be spilt. Gov. Foster said early this morning that he did not anticipate any more trouble. A rumor was going the rounds that street car employes will go out on a Btrike today at noon, but they agreed to submit their case to a committee of citi zens and appeal for justice. President Shaw, of the screwmens' association, was at the car employes' meeting last night He made a very incendiary speech and said that he ad vised the carmen to strike. Governor Foster when seen by an As sociated Press reporter this morning, said that he had requested another meet ing of all exchanges, various military eoinmanderies and other interested par ties, which will be held some time today to discuss the situation. The governor, however, said: "I am determed that the law shall be upheld and that life, prop erty and the commerce of the city shall be protected. If necessary all the power of the state government will be used to that end." Governor Foster looked care worn this afternoon at the Hotel Royal. In ans wer to a question as to what action he would take he said: "Oh, I've nothing to say on that line but that effective steps will be taken and peace restored at any cost I have issued no orders to the military except that they be held in readiness in their armories. The United States government will not under the existing circumstances be called upon for assistance, and I con sider that our state military is sufficient to protect the life and liberty of our citi zens." Later the governor was closeted with delegations from the various exchanges and the commanding officers of the military. The meeting was au executive one. i urther arrests were made this morn ing of men who participated in, yester day's riot They were Dave.Kehoe of Washington street, near the levee, Morris Ryan and Salvador Moriver, alias Tor- redo. Kehoe was armed with a loaded revolver when taken to the station. BLIZZARD IN IOWA. One Has Struck Det Moines and is In- creasing in Severity. Des Moines, March 13.

O. a. Jeffries, Manager. Stormont Building, Topeka, Kansas. A Novel Legal Method. A novel method of getting rid of men in possession has been discovered by an impecunious lady living in the Rue Thiers in Paris. In an unguarded mo ment she opened the door to the men, who bad beeu watching their opportu nity for some days. Finding what she had done, she tried to frighten the men by making a parade of legal learning. There were severe penalties, she said, for taking possession without securing the attendance of the local police com missary. The bailiffs only laughed at this, whereupon the lady went out to complain, as she said, to the police and locked them in her fiat. Shortly afterward she returned with two policemen and said: "Arrest these men. They have broken into my place. It was in vain that the poor wretches declared that they were honest broker's men. Possibly their looks were suspi cious. At all even ts, the policemen, while muttering something about "having heard that sort of thing before, march ed them off to the police station. Ar riving there, they were soon released on production of evidence of their iden tity. The men contemplate an action for false imprisonment, but meanwhile they have to devise fresh means to secure an entry to the place from which, they were so unceremoniously ejected. London News. a j'erpuitial Minor. Prince Henry of Orleans has been de clared a perpetual minor. His father, the Duo de Chartres, asked that Henry be placed nnder a guardianship. He won the case by default, as Prince Henry is now in Indo-China.

The Man Who Tried to Do It in Prison. OTHER STATE NEWS. The Town of Axtell Visited hj a $17,000 Fire. Wichita, March la The case of the City of Wichita vs.' S. E. Lushea. now pending in the United Sutes court, is likely to be settled through the death of one of the principals and the incarcera tion of the other in the Iowa peniten tiary. A man and his pretty young wife en deavored to secure $12,000 damages from this city for alleged injuries received by Mrs. Lushea on a defective sidewalk. Hundreds of similar suits from the same cause are now pending in this county. S. E. Lushea brought this suit for $12, 000, alleging that his wife had had a bad fall, from the effects of which she would never recover. It is stated that her spine was injured to such an extent that she would never be able to walk again. The Lusheas had a room on East Doug las at a hotel there and Mrs. Lushea was said to be utterly helpless. Her big, prize-fighting husband carried her about in his arms like an infant, and the doc tors who were called in to examine the woman said that there was no doubt that her injuries were serious. In this extremity Detective Redford Woods was detailed to work on the case. He was empowered to act in conjunction with Myatt and find out all that was pos sible. The main feature was to see Mrs. Lushea walk. All sorts of games were put up on the couple. On one occasion, by a plan of the detectives, the Lusheas were invited to dine with a family living some dis tance from their rooms. It was thought that surely the woman would take a step in going from the hack or to the table. But she did not. Her husband carried her liKe a baby. In the meantime, by pumping Lushea'a intimate friends, it was learned that he had entered similar suits for damages at other points in the west. City Attorney Myatt finally opened correspondence with these places and learned that at a small city on the Santa Fe line near Iowa, Lushea had recovered damages on bis own account. Up in Iowa at another town the same scheme was put in opera tion, and resulted in adding wealth to the Lushea exchequer, at the expense of a railroad corporation. Then came the Lusheas' case here Mrs. Lushea took her tumble and the suit was entered. Eventually, while the case was pending, the husband and wife suddenly fled the city at midnight, to escape a board bill. Judge Myatt says that at Newton Mrs. Lushea was seen to walk, and also again at a small place called Mound Ridge, in McPherson county, where shs had relatives. Last July she died, and her husband disappeared for a time; but he was still after that $12,000. Chief Cone has now just received a letter from Lushea, saying he is in the Iowa penitentiary. He says he was put there on the testimony of a man who swore he broke jail at Wichita and he wants Chief Cone to tell Judge Woolson the straight of it, as it will do him some good. This ends the attempt to defraud Wich ita of $12,000. Examined Yoaog Ministers. Leavenworth, March 13.

Plunger Grannan Has Been Losing Heavily in California. San Francisco. March 13. Small fortunes have been won and lost at the Bay district track during the past three weeks. Large sums have been wagered on several races. Riley Grannan, the celebrated Kentucky plunger, who wag ered a fortune on the Henry of Navarre Domino race last year, has had a run of bad luck, and is reported to have lost $25,000 since his return to California last month. Grannan came to California last season and cleaned up $52,000 in less than two months. He went east with his pile and returning made $8,000, increasing his winnings to $60,000. Smith, better known as "Pittsburg PhiL" has made as much as Riley Grannan has lost and is $30,000 ahead of the game, making a winning almost every day. He is not the reckless better that Grannan is, but being a shrewd judge of horses, backs his judg ment irrespective of talent. David Gideon, of that famous racing firm of Gideon Daley, is reported to be $20,000 winner on the season. BIDDING FOG THE FIGHT, Ktw Orleans and Oklahoma Strong Com petitors of Jacksonville. New York, March 13. Now that Judge Richter of Louisiana has found prize fighting in that state is a legitimate business under the special protection of the law the followers of pugilism are beginning to pick New Orleans as "the scene of the Corbett-Fitz-simmons contest. The strong prob ability that by a stroke of the pen the chief executive of Oklahoma may also legalize prize fighting has like wise had the effect of calling fresh atten tion to the great battle. Will Brady, Corbett's manager, said: "The New Orleans decision cuts no figure with the arrangements between Corbett and Fitzsimmons. The Jackson ville people have put up $5,000 in Phil Dwyer's hands as a forfeiture in case they .cannot pull off the fight. They have offered a purse of $41,000, and April 1 will pay Corbett and Fitzsimmons $1,000 each for training ex penses. At that time the date of the contest will be named. "The principals have signed to fight in Jacksonville, and the Floridan3 have the first and only claims. The fact that the city council of Jacksonville passed an ordinance, amounts to nothing. If the legislature passes a law against us then New Orleans and Oklahoma can do their bidding. Corbett will train in Asbury Park if they fight in Jacksonville or New Orleans, in Hot Springs if Oklahoma gets it." Brady is expecting to hear soon from the Jacksonville peopla He thinks if it came down to a bidding match between New Orleans and Oklahoma, the West erners would not stop short of $50,000.

His elbows rest on the table, and his face 13 hidden in his hands. In front of him the empty bottle and the big knife. The tal low drips from the flickering candle. He had drunk himself into a state of unconsciosness several nights of late. He would go to sleep, but not in yonder bed! Horrible! Here on the old chest he sinks down and leans with his back against the wall. His head falls forward on his breast, his eyes close.. His arm hanging down by his side swings to and fro once or twice. Then it becomes stiff. Sleep; forgetful ness; death. Knock, knock, knock on the door, first gently and then louder. Closely wrapped in a cloak covered with snow a woman 6lips In on her tiptoes. She throws off the dark cloak, and in dazzling beauty and dressed in gold and diamonds she stands there Columbine! "Ha, Pierrot!" She approaches him and gazes search ingly upon his face. 'lHpw old he has grown! How wretch ed he looks! "Supposing he were to strike mo again and throw rne out into the street!" Then her eye falls upon the big knife lying beside the bread, and she starts. "If he strikes me No, no; I am afraid! I will go!" Hurriedly she wraps her fur cloak around hor so as almost to conceal her face and is about to leave the room on tiptoe when

Pierrot awakes. He sees her. He thinks ho is still dreaming. Who is she? What does she want? "Say what you want!" he says. She lets fall her cloak from her shoulders. Tableaux and deep silence. "Leave!" and he opens the door wide. "Leave!" "It is so cold it is snowing! Have pity!" "You are right. Stay here." "Thank you," she says in a low voice. She tries to kiss his hand, but he pushes her away with scorn and disgust. "Do not touch me!" he cries. She shrinks back, keeping her eye fixed upon his face and thinking how she can touch him and get him in her power. Step by step she glides toward Pierrot, her hands, her eyes, her lips, all beseech ing him for forgiveness. But when he feels her warm body against his own he repels her and thrusts her back roughly. But again and again she moves up to him, and by degrees his hatred begins to lessen and passion to rise in his throat. His hands tremble, his face grows white as chalk, and the anguish of passionate love shows itself in his features. Colum bino puts her arms round him and presses him to her breast, covering his mouth and eye3 with her kisses. Columbine triumphs and a passing smile hovers round her mouth. "You smile, but I weep," says Pierrot. "The tears have furrowed my cheeks. You have sold yourself. This dress, this gold, this jewelry." He raises his fist as if about to strike her. "You have forgiven me," murmurs the enchantress. "Look at me, am I not beautiful?" "Yes, you are beautiful too beautiful," groans Pierrot. "I have no heart left you have taken it from me. I am coward ly and weak. But you still belong to me, and I will love you." He draws her toward lym. She repels him. She thrusts him back, and her eyes begin to flash. "You turned me out. "Forgiveness!" he begs. "On your knees!" He kneels before her. "Your head on the ground!" He hesitates a moment and then bends his head to the boards. She places her foot upon his neck and laughs mockingly at his humiliation. Pierrot springs to his feet and puts his hands to her white throat. "And what if I strangle you?" he cries. "Do it!" she replies quietly. She stretches her bare white neck out to him. She looks into his eyes. His tight ened fingers loosen their hold of her flesh, and he groans: "I cannot!" She taps him on the forehead with her jeweled finger. i "You poor fool!" "Yes, I am a fool. My reason has left me." And he stares into vacancy, his face white, his eyes fixed. "I shall goto sieep," says Columbine. "I am tired. Goodnight." Pierrot is alone. He passes his hand over his forehead and tries to collect his thoughts. There she is yonder! Behind those curtains, she who deceived him, and who will continue to deceive him. He looks at himself in the little cracked mirror. How pale his face is, and his eye falls upon the table where the big knife lies. The big knife draws him toward it with a horrible fascination. No, no! It is horrible! He cannot! The knife, the knife. Pierrot turns away with a great effor and draws his trembling hand through the air as if to fling away from him the horrible temptation. Te knife, the knife! Slowly Pierrot draws close to the table. He mops the perspiration in great drops from his forehead. With precipitate steps he flings himself, as it were, upon the knife, and his greedy eyes cannot feast themselves enough on the glittering steel blade. He seizes the handle with a convulsive grip, and with staring eyes and uncertain 6tep, like a sleepwalker, takes a step for ward toward the bed. The curtains close behind him. It is seen how they toss and shake their folds In the ghastly struggle. A shrill cry, a gurgling, rattling sound In the throat! Pierrot appears, white and bewildered. There is blood dripping warm and thick from his knife. His clothes are bespat tered with blood. He flings the hideous knife into a cor ner of the room and pulls the curtains wide open. There stands the bed, and lying upon it Columbine dead. How beautiful she is! Pierrot bends over her, raises her head in his hands and kisses the lips. The head falls back. Pierrot goes slowly toward the door, walking backward and with his eyes fixed and staring upon the corpse. The curtain falls 6lowly. From the German. A prominent physician says that a ca pacity for tears abundant, warm and ready ones is one of the surest preserva tives of feminine beauty. Highest of all in Leavening Power.- Latest U. S.

The whole Cripple Creek district is greatly excited over a lively running fight last night between an officer and a number of miners and former railroad men in which one man was killed and another badly injured. Constable Frank Leup toa had arrested a man named McQuade at Victor, for participation in the railroad strikes last summer. A number of his companions objected, and in the melee one man, Seth Ralston, was shot through the cheek. The offi cials finally got Ralston and McQuade before a justice of the peace, where both were put under $200 bonds, which they refused to give. Leupton placed his prisoners on a train to bring them to Cripple Creek, but friends of the men covered tne engineer with guns, pre venting the train's departure. When the constable approached the locomotive, the engineer jumped off and ran. Finally the train was started, but after going a mile was stopped ostensi bly to let off passengers. Patrick Loon ey and a couple of other men attempted to enter the rear car where Leupton and his officers were. Leupton grappled with Looney, and as he was losing ground, pulled a gun and fired, killing Looney instantly. The prisoners were finally landed in jail here without further incident, but further trouble is expected. TAILOR NOT CAUGHT. Pinkertons Have no Knowledge of the Ab sconding Treasurer's Capture.

Wheat opened steady at last night's closing prices and for the first hour held very firm, advancing to 57 for May and 57 for July. At these prices Pardridge began selling an immense line, probably over two million bushels, and assisted by heavy realizing, ham mered the May option until 56c was touched. At these prices the market steadied up on higher cables and good foreign buying, absorbing all offerings. Bulls have been whipped so badly the past year that they run at their own shad ows and begin taking profits every time Pardridge is seen around the wheat pit, consequently there is no long interest in wheat and ought to be bought on any weak spots. It will be the principal speculative article and there won't be any money made on the short side with these large exports firmer cables, good cash demand, and small supply in farmers hands. Corn opened steady at last night's close and held firm until wheat began to ease off, when timid holders began to realize heavily, assisted by the bear crowd, succeeded in hammering the market a cent. Corn is good property and will sell much higher before another crop. Oats are steady and sympathizes with corn. Provisions firm and higher. Buy pork on all weak spots. Open. High Low. Close.

Even Dr. Talmage could not refrain, from introducing a little politics into the pulpit on the occasion of the adjourn ment of the late unlamented congress. He returned thanks to the Most High tkat the congress had gone and that the members would not return. It is said that Dr. Parkhurst will now take St. Louis in hand. It is presumed that Sam Jones is merely paving the way for the New York divine. The St. Louisans are such a sleepy lot that they need somebody to arouse them before anything can be done with them. Thb "Populist craze" appears to have located, temporarily at least, on the Pacific coast. The Populist candidate for mayor was elected In Oakland, Cali fornia, yesterday by 800 majority over the united votes of the Republicans, Democrats and non-partisans. Another casi of fusion, From the report of the department of agriculture the Globe-Democrat figures out that American sheep owners have lost $49,435,503 in thaee years, and inti mates that it is all due to the changed tariff law. It neglects to mention, how ever, the enormous losses of American wheat owners and American cotton owners. All these shrinkages in values are easily traceable to one principal causa and that U the complete over throw of silver. Thb numerous murderous assaults upon the colored population of New Orleans suggests a question as to what is to become of these poor oppressed people. It appears that they can't stay where they are, neither can they go away. Those who went to Mexico some time ago are said to be returning, find ing It impossible to live under the con ditions which they found there. The par ty which was organized to go to Liberia, it seems was taken in by swindlers, and when they got to the sea board found no transportation provided for them. They are human beings, they are also Ameri can citizens, made so without their ask ing, and are entitled to tome measure of protectioa What is a government for if not to protect its citizens? Thb State Library again procured an appropriation for the purchase of books for its miscellaneous department at this session of the legislature. The publio has no sympathy with the renewal of the old conflict with the State Historical Society. It is absurd to suppose that the state is to permanently maintain two libraries of the same kind in the state house. For the past six years the appro priations for the State Library have been confined to law books. This library is essentially a law library, and now, with the Stormont endowment, a medical library. Between these two special de partments and the general library of history, science, nociology and literature, such as the law requires the State His- torical Society to make up, the line ia a plaia one. The policy of the State Library in seeking appropriations for a separate department of this kind is ob structive; it prevents adequate appro priations for the library of the state His torical Society, in which the people tane a deep interest, and which the legisla ture is disposed to liberally maintain. The scenes of lawlessness and riot witnessed in Topeka in 1893 during the session of the legislature have been com pletely eclipsed by the legislature of In diana, and it was not by Populists, either. It was the Republicans this time who barred the doors of the legislative cham ber against the officers of the state who were engaged in the legitimate discharge of their duties, and when an entrance was forced, mobbed the governor's mes senger and thus succeeded in defeating a measure which they had been unable to defeat in a legal manner. Indiana is sorely in need of a campaign of "redemp tion," and will probably get it They might draw on Kansas for several first-class "redeemers" who don't seem to be need ed here; at least no place has been found for them yet. The Hoosier must hang his head in shame for two years yet, how ever, and when he goes east, instead of proudly registering from Posey county, he will whisper quietly to the hotel clerk that he is "from the west." He will be ashamed of Indiana. It always happens sooner or later that praachers who attempt to urge reforms from the pulpit have to be disciplined. Rev. Thomas Dixon ha3 been forced to follow Rev. Myron Reed and resign his pastorate. Dr. Parkhurst will be called before the presbytery of his own church ti show causa why he shouldn't retire. When will creachers learn that some congregations want stupidity in the pul pit, not progress. KANSAS PARAGRAPHS. Miss Wedd is not the only girl in Grant who would like to be. There is a man in Clay Center who is reported to have voluntarily resigned an office. A latch key wouldn't be a bad thing for Mr. Lockout of Florence, to carry with him. Mrs. Huee. of Howard, is a woman who doesn't fail to embrace her oppor tunities. It is no wonder that a letter addressed to Mr. Bjorkman remains uncalled for at the Morganville postomce. The Methodist ministers can pick up considerable material for temperance sermons while in Leavenworth. Something is wrong at Clay Center. Among the presents at a wedding there were three tea pots and only one pickle castor. balina bicvcusts have been given per mission to construct a track in the park to keep them from riding on the side walks. Notwithstanding a number of deaths the Times says the Republican river is the only thing that has gone up in Clay Center recently. An inexperienced youth of 80 procured a license to marry a lass of 61 at McPher- son the other day, and blushingly asked that the names be kept secret for a few days. A dance announced at Green the other n urht didn't take place because there wasn't a girl in attendance and the men didn't feel like waltzing around with chairs. Alma Enterprise: There are fifteen at torneys at law in Wabaunsee county, or one to about every 750 inhabitants, and plenty of room for more more inhabi tants. Clav Center Times: The Indian is never without direct spiritual consola tion. Uid not tha savior say: -"Lo, 1 am with you always, even to the end of the world?" Atchison Globe: A man in town got his yard raked without cost, by announc ing that he lost -a dollar in the snow month ago, and would give it to the tinder.

Ex-Pennsylvanians living atSalina, are making preparation already for a cele bration on the Fourth of July. They can't have been in Kansas long or they wouldn't need so much time to get ready. STEAL TILE WASTE. Tramps Have that Habit and Will Be Arrested When Caught. Watchman Wylie of the Santa Fe ar rested John Wright, a tramp, last night, for trespassing. The company has been bothered a good deal lately with tramps who take the oiled waste out of the boxes of the cars to builcf fires with. This is a triple offense. Not only is it a loss of 'waste but the fires are sometimes built too near to buildings and cars when the wind is blowing. The worst danger, however, is that if the car should be sent out without fresh packing it would only be a matter of a few miles until the journal would be burned oS and the oar disabled for days. Wright was brought to the police sta tion and was this morning fined $5. FOUND A POT OF M0N EY. Laborer Dig; Up 2SO Pieces of Colonial Money. Whitb Plains, N.

ThoseWho Care for Offi.ceBuild.ing3 the Cream of Janitordom. SOT SO HIGH SOCIALLY IS Superintendents, bat Still Men of Some Importance Their Homes at tuo Top ot Great aUraetures of Steel and Stone. The resident janitor ia essentially a city type. Under one title or another he has ex isted ever since the first modern city was built In Pans, as the concierge, he has flourished for centuries. He has been much more in evidence than ever before in American cities since the adoption of the steel truss by builders and the in troduction of the rapidly moving pas senger elevator, because these two in- THE ROOF IS THE SUMMER. ventions have made possible the erection of the great office buildings that form today such a notable feature of these great settlements. In many ways the life of a resident janitor and his family is different from the life of any other class of persons. Instead of dwelling in a house by them selves or in a flat with many other ten ants in the same building, these live in apartments at the top of a vast structure of brick and stone and steel that is full of life and action and companionship in the daytime, but at night deserted and silent as the grave. Even in the day the companionship of the hundreds or thou sands that inhabit the big building dur ing business hours is not for the mem bers of the janitor's family. So far as the tenants are concerned, these might as well not exist at all. Although they are physically removed from them only by the height of a few stories, they are virtually as remote as if leagues of sea and walls of mountains separated them. Between the janitor's family and the tenants, in fact, there exists that most impassable of barriers, difference in so cial standing, a barrier that many would have us believe is not as apparent here as elsewhere, but which is quite as in surmountable here, when it exists, as anywhere else in the world. Even the smart typewriter girls and tho junior clerks in tho offices look down upon the janitor's wife, his sons and his daughters whenever they chance to see them, while to the janitor himself only that sort of toleration is accorded that is meted out to a servant of an up per grade. When the building i3 a very big one, however, the janitor becomes a superintendent, and with the change of title there is a vast change in the social standing of the man in charge and that of his family, though his duties would not seem likely to undergo any great change. But there is this really impor tant difference the janitor is obliged himself to perform a part of the menial services that must be rendered about the building, while the superintendent, who is generally also the renting agent, is able to delegate all these things to em ployees of a lesser grade, to spend his own time in an office quite as well fit ted up as that of any tenant and to live "up town" or in the sub-irbs. Of course the superintendent general ly receives better pay than the janitor and for that reason is usually of a high er grade intellectually, for money will always procure brains. Janitors get from $75 to $200 a month, though the latter figure is not often reached. Su perintendents receive from $2,000 to $5,000 a year and occasionally more even than the latter figure. The author THE ROOT IS THE WtSTEB. ity of the superintendent extends over the entire building from the stokehole in the second subcellar to the tip of the flagstaff. His subordinates include the engineer and the elevator men, aa well as the scrubbers and cleaners and the watchmen, and in some cases there is a janitor as well as a superintendent In buildings without superintendents, how ever, the administration is two headed, the engineer having charge of the heat ing, the engine and the elevators, while the janitor has the care only of the com fort of the tenants and the cleaning and care of the rooms and corridors. Yet, notwithstanding his circum scribed domination as compared with that of the superintendent the janitor J of a big office building is a good deal of a man in his way, for even in an office building of moderate size, as such struc tures go nowadays, he has quite an army of employees under him. The jan itor's staff in a building of S0O num bered rooms includes about 20 persons. A dozen of them are scrubwomen who go to work at 6 in the morning, quit at 9 and begin again at about 5 p. m., continuing till the work ia done. There are eight or ten men who polish brass and do the heavier work of various sorts, in cluding small repairs, and the night watchmen. The engineer has his own staff of 10 or 12, including firemen and elevator men. Besides being to all intents and pur poses an employer the janitor is a pur chaser of no small account Brooms, dusting brushes, boxes of soap, polish ing powder and soapine, rubbing cloths, glass, putty, eta, are bought in whole- Bale lots every six months, and the year ly outlay for supplies, wages, eto., ia such a building reaches well up into the sums that are expressed by four figures. For all theso expenditures and for the conduct of his employees the janitor is responsible, and he has to keep a very level head all the time, for he has as many masters as there are tenants be sides the agent and the owner. "Some folks think janitors have a snap,' said one of the ablest janitors I know, a man who has charge of a fa mous building in one of our large cities, "but they don't. Times ain't wb.atn.hey csed to be. When I went into the busi ness, office janitors got no salaries. They had their rent free, as they do now, and they looked after the scrubwomen, as they do now, but they didn't take care of the tenants' rooms unless the tenants hired them to. Most tenants did this, and besides they paid the janitors to keep their towels washed and furnish soap and the like of that Why, in them days I was in hard luck if I couldn't get $200 to $250 a month net out of the job, and one year it run $300. Some of the janitors used to make $400 or $500 a month. Them was the days for money. "But bimeby some fellow that put up a big building had a new scheme. He offered to keep' the rooms clean and in good order for his tenants without any extra pay beyond the rent He thought he could fill his building easier and quicker that way. And, say, the scheme worked, and now all the big buildings are run so all we janitors are on salary, and the real good times have gone. Oh, yes, it's better fort he tenants and better for the landlords, but where do we come in, I'd like to know? "To be sure, some of us have a few little things left, like getting ice for the tenants and moving them from one floor r1 U A JASITOR'S SUBORDINATES. to another, and so on, but the hull busi ness don't amount to much. The towel supply companies have spoiled our towel and soap business; we can't make any thing on supplies for the buildings, for, though we buy, we turn the bills over to the agents they're a new feature, too, and they attend to the renting nowadays and we have to look a good deal sharper after the tenants' comfort than we used to. Of course it is an object to the janitor to get his living apartments rent free in addition to his wages. Sometimes these apartments are large and handsome. Oc casionally they consist of a house of sev eral airy rooms built upon the main I roof, which serves as a yard, albeit it may not be converted into a sodded lawn. In the summer time this roof yard is the most delightful place in the world for a promenade or for quiet lounging. In the winter time it is a bit airy perhaps, but not so disagreeably cold and bleak as might be expected. It is a capital play space for children at all seasons if well protected by railings. When there is snow, it does not melt as quickly as on the street level, and a oer- tain small boy who has lived on one of these roofs all his life can tell a great number of interesting yarns about the snow forts he has built and the enow men he has "sculpted" 150 feet above the street level. The same boy pitches a tent on the roof in the summer time, and the entire family enjoy its shade. The apartments on this roof are furnish ed with taste, there is a piano of good tone in the "parlor," and etchings and engravings hang on the walls. It should not be imagined that all janitors are of the same social grade. No, indeed. Janitordom assuredly has its aristocracy. Between the $75 a month janitor of the old fashioned five and six storied buildings and the $200 a month janitor who has charge of eight or ten stories there is as great a gulf as be tween the high grade janitor and the superintendent who is able to associate with professional men and small mer chants. Upper crust janitors are .treated with great respect when in the company of others of the same calling. Of course there are thousands of resi dent and nonresident janitors in every really great city who care for business blocks, flat houses and the like; but, saving only those who have charge of the biggest apartment buildings, none is to be mentioned in the same breath as to social standing with the resident janitor of office buildings. M. L Dexter. ALL HOPE LOST. 1 Be Tried to Get Ahead of His Wife, bat Failed. "Do yon ever try to get ahead of your Wife?" Mr. McBride asked of Mr. Cumso. "Not now," replied the latter, with an air which indicated the failure of some at tempts in that line. "Do you?" "I haven't been married as long as you have, and that may be the reason I have not yet given up all hope of succeeding, but I must admit that my last attempt was anything but successful." "Let ua hear It" "I found in the morning paper what looked to me like a very attractive adver tisement that is, I thought it would be attractive to my wife. It was a glowing description of a new lot of sealskin sacks just bought from a firm which had gone into bankruptcy, and which were to be sold by the firm which bad been fortunate enough to seoure them at an Immense re duction from ruling prices. Now, I did not feel able to indulge my wife in a seal skin, and I was desirous that she should not see the advertisement, but I took the wrong means to keep it from her." "What did you do?" "Why, I cut outthe advertisement be fore she saw the paper." "Well?" "Well, I went down town, and after I was gone she picked up the paper. She saw the hole. The rest of the sheet had no charms for her. A 11 the other interest ing news it contained might as well not have been printed. She wanted to know what was cut out, and she put on her wraps and started for a newsstand without a minute's delay. The rest of the story la easily told. When I reached home, she had one of those sacks." 'It was such a perfect bargain, I could not resist it,' she explained. 'I really needed it, too, for I hadn't a wrap that was fit to be seen on the street, you know. And you won't have to pay for it until the 1st of next month, Harry, dear, for I had it charged. Now, tell me if your dear little wife Isn't an excellent naunager?' I had to admit that she was,' added McBride, with a sigh. Truth. What May Happen When One Bleep at the Office. Goes to Fliegende Blatter. Too Much Remorse. There had been a feud of long standing between two Galveston darkies. They were continually fighting and quarreling. Not long since one of them died, and, to the astonishment ot the colored popula tion, the other one attended the funeral. After the funeral services were over the Rev. Aminidab Bledso, the presiding clergyman, met the surviving enemy and said impressively: "I was much pleased to see yer at de obsequies ob yore ole enemy. Hit does credit to de goodness ob yore heart. Hit shows dat yer don't carry yore presenti ments beyond de grave. Ever'body is praisin yer for yore goodness. "I dunno about dat ar'. I had to lose half a day '8 work attendin dat ar' funeral, and de Bible 6ays 'business fust and pleas ure afterward,' and I tuck de pleasure fust and did my work afterward. I reckon I ought to be ashamed of myself. "Texas Siftinga. The Way the Case Was Settled. "A wire grass Georgia judge has just decided a big dog case." "How did it turn out?" "You see, a man went to Texas and left his dog with a neighbor, and when he came back he wanted the dog. "Well?" "The judge decided that the man who had the dog didn't have a title, and that a fellow who would leave a good dog oughtn't to own one." "What did the judge do about it?" "Kept the dog himself.

Thousands of Applicants for New Posi tions Created by Congress. Washington, March 13. There seems to be an increase in tha demands for place aa the positions grow scarcer. Whenever there are some new offices provided by legislation, there is gener ally a scramble for the positions. During the closing days of congress, a bill was passed for the examination and classifi cation of mineral lands in the grant to the Northern Pacific railway in Montana and Idaho. There were twelve officers created by this bill, to be paid salaries of $2,400 a year. The candidates for these places come from all sections of the country, and the interior department is flooded with ap plications. Some men come to Wash ington to personally solicit these places. It ia desirable that men with some knowledge of minerals shall be chosen, and it appears to the officials of the de partment that there are mineral experts in every section of the country, ana 11 the appointing officers should believe all that is said to them, they would become convinced that the coantry is one vast field of mineral resources.

Statement Made in the "Journal" J About Registration, JUSTIFIED BY LEGAL OPINION Of Lawyers in Topeka-The Registra tion Clerk and the Commissioner Seed Enlishtenmeat The statement made by the Journal that it is not necessary that women or any one else give their exact ages, in order to be eligible to registration, is endorsed by leading lawyers of Topeka and it is safe to repeat that if you do not desire to give your exact age, do not do so. Tbe stubborn and unreasonable clerk may refuse to register you, but do not Btop to argue the case with him. Ask him to fill out a blank appeal to the board of election supervisors who will listen to it. Following ia what lawyers say about the matter: Ex-Discrict Judge John Guthrie: "I am fully conversant with the law and I am satisfied that it is not necessary to give the age to register. I know that the statute says that a person must give his aire but that provision ia not mandatory. The exact age does not determine the qualifications of the voter and the pro vision in the law is not placed there for that purpose. If I satisfy the commis sioner that I am above the legal age I am eligible to registration. According to hia ruling there are a great many people in Topeka who cannot vote at all for they cannot give their exact age If the age 'must' be given these poople can not be registered and that position makes the commiasioner ridiculous. Everv one knows that they could not be disquali fied because of the fact that the age was not given." Captain Joe Waters said: '"Of course they do not have to tell their ages. All that it is necessarv to do is to satisfy the commissioner that the applicant is over the age which qualifies him or her as a voter, and that is twenty-one, as every one knows. The commissioner was right when he registered Colonel Holliday, al though he refused to give hia age except to say thai he was over twenty-one, the qualified age: but he surely makes him self ridiculous when he refuaea to regis ter women who make the same answer." Ex-County Attorney A. H. Vance said: "I do not think it is essential that the age be given. The law does not mean that the exact age must be given. It is only put there to determine the age qualification of the voter, and if he is- over- the age required by the law which makes him a qualified elector, he ia eligible to registration, and should be registered though he refuses to give hia age." Chairman P. L Bonebrake, of the board of supervisors, said: "I would not like to say what we shall do until I have care fully examined the law, but we will sure ly do whatever ia reasonable. It seems to me that the commissioner should not be small in a matter of thia kind."' Dr. F. S. McCabe, who ia a member of the board, said: "We will do whatever is justified by the law." NANCY SYKES' GREAT HIT Flayed by an Actor Only a Year on the Stase. With three rehearsals and only one man that had ever played the piece be fore, "Oliver Twist" waa put on at the Grand last night by the McKee Rankin company. The audience was large and was will -ing to admit that the acting of the com pany or a majority of it was meritorious but the piece itself ia a nightmare of the deepest dye and during the murder scene in the fourth act, which wa3 re markably well played, though it i3 a most horrible scene, a good many women covered their facea and some in the boxes retreated to the rear till it'waa over. Mr. Rankin played Bill Sykes, and Mr. Dick ns could not have imagined a more brutal character than Rankin made it. It was natural and the murder scene also judging from what most people have read of murders. Of course very few of the spectators have ever seen a murder, consequently all they know about it being "natural" is hearsay. The Fag u of Frank Sheridan seemed rather weak at times owing perhapa to hi3 apparent forgetf ulness but his strong scenes were played with an energy that brought forth sincere applause from the audience. Earnest Walcott as Fany waa very well done. So also was P. T. John son as Vellum and L, E. Beach as Brown low. Very good, too, was the acting of E. O'Connor aa Dawkins, the Artful Dodger. To one young woman in the company is especial credit due. The rendition Miss Patrice O'Neil gave the part of Nancy Sykes could not have well been better and the audience attested ita ap preciation by giving her and Mr. Rankin two enthusiastic curtain calls. The part is one that has been tried by all the most famous women of the older school and is looked upon as a "test part" by many now. Until Mis9 O'Neil played the part last night herself she had never seen it play ed. She got the part Sunday, had three rehearsals and did it last night most cor rectly and evenly, if she did get away from her dialect once or twice for a mo ment. It haa hardly been a year since Miss O'Neil left the public schools of San Francisco and joined Mr. Rankin and wife in small parts, on the recommenda tion of a mutual friend. She has done well, and will do much better. M is3 Isabelle Lincoln was acceptable as Oliver Twist The company will put on Mr. Rankin's famous "Canuck" tonight. SILYER DEMOCRATS. They Are Going to Call a Convention in I Alabama. Birmingham, Ala., March 13. About fifty prominent Democrats met here last night and took preliminary steus to or ganize a state Free Silver Democratic league. Captain Joseph F. Johnston, who last year opposed Governor Oates for the Democratic gubernatorial nomi nation, presided. Several speeches, heartily endorsing free silver, were made and a committee was appointed to call a convention to ef fect a permanent organization and to is sue an address to Democrats and invite prominent speakers to address the meet ing.

Birmingham, Ala., March 1& The Alabama executive committee of the People's party met here with a large attendance last night. Capt. B. F. Kolb and candidates on his ticket were pres ent. Shortly after the meeting conven ed, Chairman Adams read a lengthy communication from Kolb, in which he urged upon the committee the necessity for calling a special session of the legis lature. At midnight the convention adjourned after having adopted an address to the people of the state in which they de clare for law and order and deprecate any unlawful undertaking. They score the Democratic party for its alleged fail ure to fulfill promises by passing a con test law which does not apply to Kolb's case. They do not deem a dual government advisable, claiming that should one be established, Cleveland would send federal troops to Alabama and put down their government They set up the claim that one hundred thousand voters have petitioned congress to establish a Re publican form of government in Alaba ma, which they claim does not exist. They endorae Captain Kolb'a resolu tion that a special aesssion of the legis- lature be called. lhey conclude by mapping out a plan of campaign strengthening their organization and predict national success next year. NOT AS BAD AS PARIS. Chief Crowley Contradicts Max O' Hell's Statement About San Francisco. San Fkncisco, March 13. Chief of Police Crowley vigorously denies the assertion of Max O'Rell that the illegiti mate children born in Paris annually were not more than one-third the number of illegitimate children born every year in San Francisco. Chief Crowley says this city is not half bo immoral on the lines suggested as any of the large manufacturing cities of the United States, England or the continent, where young girls and women are thrown in daily contact with irresponsible males of their own age. The chief does not know where M. Biouet obtained his data, but pronounces the conclusions false, whatever the source of his so-called sta tistics. "If we who have lived here all our livea and have to deal with crime and the element of immorality," said Mr. Crow ley, "cannot form any accurate estimate on this illegitimacy how could a stranger and a foreigner acquire such data? This alleged French humorist is a fakir of the rankest kind. "It is an insult to compare San Fran cisco to Paria, where the marriage laws are looked upon by most in the light of a useless encumbrance. If O'Rell were here he would get what he promises would be the treatment of Mark Twain were the latter in Paria hia nose would be pulled." WAS A "BOLD OPERATOR."

WARNS COTTON GROWERS. Cotton Manipulators Trying to Delude Them, Says Mr. Lane. Athens, Ala., March 13. Proctor IL D. Lane, president of the American Col ton Growers' Protective association, haa issued the following address: "To the Cotton Growers of the South: "1 wish to call the attention of the cot ton growers to the strategic movement being made by cotton manipulators to de lude them into the suicidal act of plant ing again a large acreage of cotton. "I warn the farmers of the south that the price of the last few days is fictitious, and ia the product of a conspiracy of men to systematically rob the producer of his legitimate gains. It is a delusion and a snare to catch the unsuspecting farmers to inveigle him into the toila of another 3,000,000 surplus, so that they can bear down values lower than last sea son with an increased surplus."
