Grasping and Dishonest Justice Court Fee System Eesults in Imprisonment of an Aged Grandmother And Her Two Small Grand Children in Jail. DOWNRIGHT VILLAINY Appears to be at the Bottom of It. The Poor Old Woman Weeping1 Children and BEHIND THE BARS. The Offense Merely a Small Neighborhood Quarrel. The Fine One Dollar Costs Are Thirty-seven! SUCH COURTS MUST GO. An Indignant People Should Crush Out A Magistrate Who Will Permit Such Inhumanity. The iniquitous fee system which pre vails in the justice courts of Shawnoe county i3 responsible for the outrageous incarceration of an aged, gray haired woman and her two liitle grand-children for debt. For some, reason the reporters of the daily papers were not informed of the circumstances when they visited the county jail and justice court, and it was not until the following letter was brought to the State Journal office by an indig nant citizon that the facts were learned. The latter reads: To the Editor of the Stato Journal: Sorre time since the writer noticed an article in. the Jouksal exposing1 the wrongs inflicted on applicants for justice in our lower courts, notably, exposing the excessive fees of various kinds tax ed up under the color of law, and it struck him at the time that the subject should be m5da a matter of legislative action, in order to correct these abuses; but it remained for him to receive an object lesson of the hardships resulting from these practices. Last evening hav 'ing occasion to be in the office of the sheriff at the county jail, an old lady about 70 years of age, together with two grand children, one a little girl of about 13 years also a boy about 8 were iin the officr The little girl was sobbing ibitterly, and on inquiry of one of the at 'ten'iants, who seemed to treat them with great kindness and civilitv. it was learn ed that the old lady in question was on account of some petvy neighborhood quarrel, found guilty of a misdemeanor 'and mulcted in fine and costs to the amount of $38. She had paid $20 of this amount, and because the balance was overdue a few days she was commit ted to the connty jail in default thereof. The little girl being cid enough to re alize thuir situation, and who in all prob ability never saw the iuside of a prison before, would between her sobs urge her grandma to "oh come home." It was a case which appealed to the sympathy and hearts of all who were witnesses to it. One can hardly realize that the man exists whose sympathies are so entirely dead, as to prompt him for the sake of a few paltry dollars to cause a poor old woman just on the verge of the grave aod two innocent children to be commit ted and locked up in prison for a -mere email debt, under color of unpaid costs. Surely the heart and needle pointed soul of such a person is not to be euvied and in this great moral city of Topeka too. As soon as the above letter was re ceived a Journal reporter was seat to investigate the facts, and found them fully as bad as reported. The victim of this outrage on human ity is Mr3. N. J. Bishop, 67 years of age, who lived at 323 Say weli street, North Topeka. She ia the widow of an old soldier who served through the war in a regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers. She has lived in Shawnee county nearly twenty-three years, and used to own con siderable farm property, but most of it has passed into other hands. She is in poor health. Mrs. Bishop's offense, if any, consisted in not getting along with her next door neighbors. She was tried for disturbing the peace of Andrew Stone. Mrs. Bishop had no one to testify in her behalf. A few of the neighbors testified that Mrs. Bishop had used hard language to the Stone family, although she is too old and feeble to do any harm if she wanted to. The trial was on July 6 in Justice Grov er's court, and Mrs. Bishop was fined $1 and f 37 costs total 38. The cost of the litigation bore heavily on the unfortunate woman. She is poor and dependent on the utmost thrift and economy to live. She took all of her little savings, amounting to just $20, and applied it to the costs. She promised to pay the rest as soon as she could. That was a month ago. The remaining $13 was still unpaid, so a commitment was issued for her, and this week she was locked in th county jail for not paying the costs of Justice Grover, Constable Davies, the witnesses and jurors. Mrs. Bishop baa the sympathy of every one at th.8 county jail, and even the jailer says her imprisonment is an outrage. She is kept in the spacious loft of thja county jail, where she can look out through the grated window upon -the street. She was seen by a Journal reporter today. Mrs. Bishop is a woman with grey hair combed in old-fashioned style, parted in the middle and combed smoothly on either side like the. pictures of grand mothers of the olden time. She wears glasses. Her clothes are old and worn but neat Altogether she is a woman whose appearance would appeal to the sympathies of any human being. Her two grandchildren Jessio and Frank Curlibs, aged 12 and 10 are with her. "I am glad to see you sir," she said when the Journal reporter entered. "Excuse me for not rismg, but I am sick. Mr. Stone poured a bucket of water on me a month ago and I have not been well since. This is the first time I ever saw the inside of a jail and it humiliates me so 1 can hardly think. I don't know how long they are going to keep me here. I don't know enough about law to know how to set about getting released." "What is the charge on which you are locked up?" 'I was convicted of disturbing the peace and I wasn't able to pay all the costs. I only had $20, and the costs were $33. 1 don't know as my troubles with Mr. Stone would interest the people who read the paper. Mr. Stone has wanted for a long time to get rid of me and he has annoyed me every way in his power and called me vile names. He threat ened to burn my house down and his children tore the shingles off my roof and robbed my garden patch. When I remonstrated with him he had me ar rested." "What means have vou of making a living?" "Not much. When I was a girl I was taught economy and I have practiced it ever since. With my little garden we manage to live." It was learned from Mrs. Bishop that her husband served through ihe war from Pennsylvania, and that he died twenty-five years ago. She hai lived in Shawnee county most of the time since on farms, until she moved to North 'iopeka two years ago. Her two little grandchildren, healthy little youngsters, are dependent upoa Mrs. Bishop for support They feel the irlisomenes3 of being shut up in jail, but as there is no one to take care of them but their eld grandmother, they muse stay with her. FLIMSY EXtTJsES MADE. Prosecuting Attorney, Conable and Jan tiers Try to Excuse Themselves. S. 6. Urmy, the deputy pounty attorney who prosecuted Mrs, Bishop, said re garding the case to a Journal reporter: 'The prosecuting witnesses were after me a long time to have Mrs. Bishop ar rested. I hate to meddle with neighbor hood quarrels and I tried to get them to settle their troubles out of court They insisted so many times that I finally brought the case. I didn't have any al ternative. The testimony of the Stones and soma of the other neighbors showed that Mrs. Bishop had sworn at them." Mrs. Grover, the wife of Justice F. M. Grover, who keeps his books, said: "The case against Mrs. Bishop was that she called the Stones some bad names and I believe they testified that she threat ened to shoot them. She paid $20 of the costs, and promised to Day the rest in a few days. She wasn't able to do it, so Constable Javies locked her up on a commitment I am sorry te old lady has to go to jaiL" Constable Davies savs: "I didn't want to lock Mrs. Bishop up, but they kept after me aud kept asking why I didn't put her in jail, and finally I had to do it." "Whom do you mean by they?" the re porter asked. "Well, 1 mean the atones, and the of ficers, too, for that matter. You see the costs were somewhere between $35 ard $38, and she paid $20 and promised to pay the rest in ten days. She didn't do it, and we gave her more than thirty days to do it in." A statement of the costs is as follows: Witness fees $6 70 Constable faes 7 25 a S. Urmv 7 50 Six jurors 3 00 $24 43 wre the The remaining $12 or more fees of Justice Grover, FOUR BURNED IN A HOTEL.

Body of a Well Dressed Found Man Lying Under the Trees Near the Kansas River. CAN'T BE IDENTIFIED. Nothing by Which His Name Can Be Told. Indications That It Is Another Suicide. A well dressed man was found dead this morning in the woods between the river and the Rock Island tracks, near where Ward's creek empties into the Kansas river. There is no clue to the man's identity up to 3:30 today. The body was found by several boys who were fishing near by. The indications point strongly to suicide. The man was stretched at full length on the green grass under the shade of a large tree. His coat had been folded carefully and placed by his side. A black sail hat was placed on the coat A fashionable oaue was by his side. The body lay at full length with the head towards the east Flies, bugs, roaches and ants had helped nature in the work of destruction and insects literally swarrr.id over the body, which was badly decomposed. The stranger is believed to have been dead three or four days. The boys who made the discovery ran all the way to the police headquarters, uearly two miles, and reported it The patrol wagon, with Undertaker M. E. Stoker and several officers, were soon on the ground. In the meantime a large crowd of boys had gathered and viewed the body iu awe and horror from a dis tance. The man was put into a cheap coffin and brought to Stoker's morgue, where Coroner Ejiley holds an inquest at 3:30 today. The man wore a suit of good iron gray clotb, of light weight, and nearly new. His hat is a black derby, with the mark of the Golden Eagle Clothing com pany on the inside. The man wore a negligee shirt with a black '-string" tie, good shoes aod fine underwear and hose. There were no papers or anything else in the pockets to show who ihe man is. In the trousers pocket was a bunch of keys, but no money. So far as had been examined pri"r to the inquest there are no marks of violence on his person. It appears to be the deliberate suicide of a man who wanted his identity kept a secret. Several small me ical tablets ere found in a vest pocket They may be a poison or merely phenacetine tab lets. It will require a chemical analysis to show. The aead man may be anywhere from 25 to 35 years of age, and seems to have been a powerful man of robust health. He is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs probably 165 pounds. He was clean shaven, except for a small mustache of several weeks' growth. MORALS AS GOOD AS OURS. A Buddhist Says Japan Could Hardly Eearn of Christina Countries. Chicago, July 8. In W. E. Curtis' let ter to the Record from Japan, he has an interview with a Buddhist pri3t, who says: "It is a serious question whether your morals are any bet,er than ours. An American friend of mine in Yokohama recently showed me a book written by a great English humanitarian that tells what Christ would see if he came to Chicago. I am sure that he would uot see any such wickedness in Japan. Suppose our emperor should be in duced to accept Christianity as a national religion, as some of your missionaries have suggested he might do, and before doing so he should send a commission to the great Christian nations to ascertain what effect your religion has had upon the morals of your Deople. "They would be compelled to report that there is no such folly and wicked ness and degradation in Tokio, or in any of our large cities, as they would find in London and Paris, New York and Chi cago, and when the statistics of poverty and crime were compared, I am very sure the emperor would ba convinced thot Buddhism was better suited to the welfare. of Japan."

Laughter and a voice, "Wish, ho was again V Referring to the charges of corruption in congress Mr. Ingalls said: "I take no stock in general calumnia tion of public men, for I affirm that there is no country whpre the publio service is on a higher plane than it is in tho United States of America; but if thero be any men in the great tribunal whose cjedentials were due to the fact thh.t ho had a large bank account, that man is there because soma constituency sent him there. 'And I will add further, that if there be auy taint or contamination resting upon that great tribunal, if there be any man there who is there wrongfully, and dull and brutal, a millionaire with not sen?e enough to vote intelligently when his name is called on the yea and nay list, there is one way in which that diffi culty can ba remedied, and that is to abolish the present antiquated, obsolete, clumsy and superfluous system of choos ing senators by ihe voice of the legisla ture, and to have them elected rather by the direct popular vote of the people, as they ought to be elected. Applause. "And if I could go further I would abandon the present way of. choosing a president and vice president by the elec toral college, and have them chosen by the people of the states, as they ought to be chosen. Applause. "If that system prevailed if senators were chosen by the direct vote of the people there are many states whose representation in the senate of the Unit ed States would be very different from what it is today."

He wishes the integrity of the Domo- cratic party to be made secure. All other matters which naturally belong 'to the canvass going on, and matters which do not legitimately belong to it injected into it, are oi minor consideration. So far as concerns the candidates on state and county tickets, for the members of the general assem bly and the selection of United State3 senator by the convention or by the pao- ple, he cares nothing about in compari son with the main o meet to be attained. It is not his intention to engage in any side issues merely to detract from the ultimate act Of the 550 delegates elect ed to the state convention 400 are said bv the gentleman to be for sound money.

One Silver Man Prohahly Won't Run On the Ticket. MarsAalltown, Iowa, Aug-. 8. One of th most notable conventions in this state closed here yesterday afternoon. Since Monday there haa been bitter strife between the two opposing1 ele ments of the party one contending1 for a ticket on the platform of a "sound money" basis, the other asking1 for free coinage without waiting for an international agreement. By a for tuitous incident the silver men had a fine chance to exploit their views In convention hall during1 the af ternoon, from the fact that the resolutions committee got into a wrangle on the financial plank, which kept them iii the commit tee room till 4 o'clock, the curreney resolution be ing1 overhauled and reconstructed two or three times before an agreement was reached, and the majority making1 persistent. efforts to avert the intro duction of the minority report. Dur ing this interval the convention did nothing but listen to free silver speeches by the white metal cham pions. The "sound money" men pre served silence, except that Cato Sells made a short talk of a conciliatory character. The controversy grew warm and bit ter and when the minority report, fa voring free coinage, was introduced, another prolonged silver discussion was precipitated and for a while the proceedings were tumultuous. The final roll call on the resolutions showed the white metal crowd de feated by a vote of 651 H to 420 A shout, mingled with groans, followed the announcement of the result. A large number of free silver delegates immediately left the hall, not waiting for the nominations. The state ticket was then nominated as follows: For governor, Judge W. I. Babb, Mount Pleasant; lieutenant governor, ex-Governor S. L. Bestow of Chariton; superintendent of public instruction, Lyman B. Parshall, Maquoketa; rail road commissioner, Colonel George James, of Dubuque; supreme judjre, Senator Thomas G. Harper, Des Moines. It is undersrood that Bestow will not accept the lieutenant governorship nomination. lie is a strong free coin age man, and was chosen in hope of conciliating the silver people, but says he cannot consistently run on the plat form. Tiie financial plank of the resolu tions reaffirms the seventh plank of the last national Democratic conven tion, holding- to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country and the coinage of both without discrimination, and that the parity of the two metals be main tained.

He also epoke of the existing conditions, and claimed that Colorado will certainly get into the Populist column again at the next election. Senator Peffer of Kansas was the principal speaker at the evening ses sion. He arraigned the present ad ministration for its financial policy, and accused Carlisle of law breaking in issuing bonds; spoke at length in favor of the Omaha platform; proph esied success for the party in the fu ture, and wound up by explaining away the charge made against him that he was in favor of a new party. This he denied emphatically, and said the Kansas country press was to blame for the report. The Populists sent resolutions of condolence to Debs in his prison cell, aad roasted to a turn the people who had put him there. BASE BALL SCORES. Western League.

People In Paris have been deceived recently by two remarkable beggars. One was an old widow of over 80. She had Deen living in a house in the Rue du Texel, upon the charity of the other lodgers. She was an object of pity, this distressed, yet ladylike and gentle old woman, and the little purse made up for her each week was contributed to gladly by those who were under the same roof with her. Her room re mained locked for over forty-eight hours and the police were called in. The old woman lay upon her bed. A doctor was called. He said she was dead, and an examination indicated that the cause was starvation. There seemed to be nothing worth making an Inventory of, but the police investigated perfunctorily and under a heap of rub bish they found 3,500 francs in large bank notes. A more careful search re vealed in the straw of her bed a heap of bonds and other securities to the value of 30,000 francs. The "poor" old woman's heirs are being sought for, but there is not the faintest clue to them. A clever swindler presented himself In Paris under the guise of a deaf mute. He was first noticed by the police while conducting an energetic begging cam paign from house to bouse. Upon being arrested he went into an energetic pan tomime, to which the officers paid little attention. In the police station he sud denly lost his infirmity and uttered a torrent of invective against the police. It was afterwards found out that, speaking five languages, he had plied his trade in all the countries of Europe and with remarkable success. His method of operation was to visit only the houses of the wealthy and to strike for large sums. In Paris his operations netted him not loss than fifty francs a day. He would first write to the fam ilies he intended to visit. They were always of the foreign colony. The let ters would detail his pitiable state. They were well written and seemed to have the impress of truth upon them. A few days later he would call, and, con triving to be seen by master or mis tress, would show a host of certificates of physicians, mayors of cities and com missaries of police in proof of what he had written. The interviews with these wealthy people were naturally had upon paper, and the answers to the questions put to him would be so beautifully and carefully written that they would sel dom fail to win the sum sought. This young man Gustav Remshager is now held by tile police, and his convic tion is practically assured. A Heroine Killed. Louisville, Ky., Aug. 8. Miss Car rie Hart was thrown from a wagon ette by a runaway team at Henderon yesterday and killed, after she had heroically saved the life of a child by lowering it to the ground. In jump ing from the wagonette Miss Hart's dress caught and bhe was thrown to the ground with terrific force, falling on her bead and crushing her skull at the base of the brain. Death was in stantaneous. Iron Clad Contract Dissolved. Ptttsbtjrg, Pa., Aug. 8. As a result of the miners' settlement the nineteen operators who had the ironclad con tract with their men yesterday re leased them. The contracts compelled the men to work for fifty-five cents and prohibited them from attending meetings of any labor union or fiom being members of any union. Famous Cattle Breeder Drowned. Richmond, Ky., Aug. 8. A telegram from Virginia Beach, Va., reports the drowning of Colonel Tom Moberly, of this city, who was away on a pleasure expedition. He was owner of the fa mous world's fair premium Shorthorn herd of stock that never met defeat. Isbpeming Strikers Emigrate. Ishpf.mtng, Mich., Aug. 8. The strike situation has simmered down to a dead calm. There was the customary parade from Negaunee and Ish peming to Union park'. At the park the greatest care is still taken that none but members of the union gain access to the grounds. It looks as though the strike would expire through men going elsewhere if the present situation continues. Old Soldiers in Reunion. Carf.ollton, Mo., Aug. 8. A re union of the veterans of the late war is being held in this city. Several thousand have already arrived. A Sublime Pose Disturbed. She was extremely fond of drawing or making a pretense at it. Often ehe would go about with sketchbook, pen cil and preoccupied expression, even awing her friends with her great genius. Down in the art gallery her efforts were much admired, especially her study of animals, and so the dear little girl fan cied herself a second Rose Bonhenj. Now, she was inspired to paint cows, gouts and pigs, so one fine morning she betock herself to a suburban farmyard beyond Wells. All alone under a spread ing tree she commenced sketching a humble bossy cow that was 6trolling slowly across the dusty road in search of clover. A great work of art would have been produced no doubt had not a bicycle rider made his appearance, and as he crossed the cow's rope Bossy gave a jerk, and down came bicycle, rider and alL "I beg your pardon," muttered the gallant, picking np his sore and battered shins. "Did I frighten you?" "No. But the cow She has stopped chewing, and I was just getting such a good sketch of her month." St. Louii Republic. Kinsman Ball Club the Vietor. Kingman, Kan., Ang. 8.

The mists were falling across the hills of Dartmoor.- A man sat on ono of the great granite rocks that lay on the top of Daine Tor. He had been sitting there since midday. He bad watched the sun as it shone on the purple heather and green bracken he had watched the cloud shadows as they wan dered through the valleys and along the burns and streamlets. The man had not enjoyed so long a rest of undisturbed quiet for many years. Away in the distance, when the sun shone at midday, he had seen his home, the home he'd inhabited for seven years. He was never going to return to that home, and he smiled when he saw the sunlight strike the windows of the great ugly build ing. For his home had been no cottage; it had been a large mansion, and he had lived there in solitude, yet surrounded by hundreds of his fellow men. At 8 o'clock the moon lifted herself above Hound Tor and nestled among a few white cloudlets which hung around her in the east. Yes, it waa delightfully peaceful and calm. There was only one thing he want ed a pipe of tobacco. He laughed aloud as the thought crossed his mind, Jor it seemed a queer want just then, but he had not smoked a pipe for seven years. Seven years agol It was near Hound Tor, too, just those seven years ago that he had smoked his lust pipe and had his last chat with little Clo', lying amidst the heather. Perhaps little Clo' was still at Barber's cottage It would be good to see ber again, and they could climb the Tor and lie amidst the heather just once more. Yes, be would go and look for little Clo'. There was a light in the cottage win dow. He opened the door without knock ing. A woman rose from the oak chair, and started when sho saw the man. "I want little Clo'," he said, forgetting now that seven 3Tears had passed, since he last entered the homestead. The woman regarded him attentively for some minutes without speaking. Then pushing a seat toward him: "So you've got away at last? I guessed you'd tire o' living there" pointing south "pretty soon. But it ar'n't no use your a-comin hero. Yon got yourself into th' mess, and you'd better clear yourself if you can." "Where be little Clo'f" the man asked again. "I be little Clo', or leastways I was lit tle Clo'. They don't call me that name now. Have you forgotten 'twas seven" yeari ago?" He sat down on the chair she had pushed toward him and looked absently at the oil lamp burning on the table. "Yes I'd forgot yes you was little Clo' once. I'd forgot I'd somehow ex pected to find her here still I wanted her to come up and sit on Hound Tor, and have a chat while I smoked my pipe just as we used I mean as she and I used to do. But I'd forgot; 'twas silly of me" "Yes," answered the woman, 'twas silly." She stood by the open door, nerv ously smoothing her dress. The man let his eyes wander around the room. Things ain't changed much the chairs and tables and ornament things, I mean but I can see that she's gone; I under stand now. So you be a woman ay, and a line one too. You ain't married? I won der at that, then I You ought ter have married. Say, could you find a pipe? any old pipe I s'pose mine's lost. No? That's nice! I didn't 'spect to see him again and tobacco? I knows your father always smoked 'Pride o' Devon.' Thanks." He filled his pipe, and she noticed his fingers trembled. Sho gave him a light, and then resumed her position by the door. "This is like old times, almost if only little Clo' was hero. I s'pose you couldn't be little Clo' just for half an hour or so sort of play actin at it, you know? Forget what 'er was like? Fancy that, then! I remember well enough. I s'pose you think I'm a bad 'un. That's why you don't speak to me. Perhaps I am, but I did it to save little Clo', though maybe you've a-forgotten that." Ho relapsed into feilence and sat looking absently at the old grand father's clock and puffing hia pipe. After a little while the woman spoke. "I hear some one coming. If it's" "Your father?" the man interrupted. "I hope it'shini." He rose and advanced, pipe in hand, toward the door. At the same moment a tall man in uniform and carrying a carbine in his hand appeared. The woman fell baek a pace or two, say ing: Yes, he's bare. I wasn't shelt'ring him" The two men looked at one another for a few seconds, then he In the uniform spoke: "Thought I'd find you here. No use resisting a couple more warders Stan d ing outside. Come along, my beauty, bank to Princes' Town." "All right," he replied quietly, "but just grant me one favor; let me finish my pipe, my first for seven years." He laughed. The warder, after a moment's hesitation, acquiesced. He finished his pipe and rose and hand ed it to the woman. Thank you. You might keep it in memory of Jim Amerz and little Clo and I'm" sorry I did wrong I'm sorry I was too late to see hei again." The woman held the door open for the warder and the convicS to pass out. "All right, she said. "I am sorry for you, but I had to do my duty, you know." New Budget. A. T. Waggoner, prescription druggiit. Lowest prices. 731 Kansas avenua. 1AX7 hmMfiiP''

THEY ASK FOR HELP, American Missionaries Urge the Government to Act. Swift Yengenance Asked by Foreigners at Hong Kong. Hong Kong, Aug. 8. The British and American missions, at Fat-Shan, near Canton, were attacked yesterday after noon by a large and infuriated mob. The hospitals were demolished. The mis sionaries fled to Sha Meen, othars re mained. A Chinese gunboat has been dispatched to quell the riot. It is reported all the missions at Kwang Lung will soon be deatroyed and the mis sionaries driven to the treaty ports. The Vegetarians aro 1C,0u0 strong and well armed and organized and able to with stand the Chinese troops. Jacksos, Miss., Aug. 8. Bishop Gal loway of this city yesterday received a cablegram from Rev. Drs. Parker and Keid at Shanghai, China, which read as follows: "Horrible massacre. More danger. Move Washington." Londox, Aug. 8. A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Shanghai says that further and reliable news of an alarming nature has been received there. It is stated that a national outbreak against the Christians has occurred at Ching Chow, a seaport of the province of Fo-Kien, and at Hupeh, Taiping and An Uui These outbreaks, it is added, are not merely the work of Vegetarians, but they are said to be organized and carried out by the Chinese officials. The extent of the damage done is not yet known, but the foreigners are reported to have escaped. Owing to the unsettled state of the province, 200 Sikhs, reliable British Indian troops, from Hong Kong, will escort the British codsuI from Foo Chow to Ku Cheng, where the consul will con duct an inquiry into the recent outrages. The Shanghai correspondent of the Fall Mall Gazette expresses the opinion that further outrages are inevitable un less Great Britain "takes swift and deadly vengeance." In regard to the despatch from Hong Kong, announcing that the British an 1 American missions at Fat-Shan, near Cauton. were attacked yesterday after noon, it is stated that the Wesleyan mis sion hag one of the most importat medical missions in China at Fat-Shan, The hospital and station are under charge of Dr. Wanyon, who has just arrived here after a perilous overland journey during which he was arrested in Armenia as a spy. The rest of the mission stiff of the Wesleyan mission at Fat-Shan are Chinese. A representative of the Associated Press has had an interview with Mr. W. W. Rockhill. third assistant secretary of Stfate for the United States referring to the massacres in China. Mr. Rockhill said he thought the Vegetarians must be the North China society know as the Tsaili, who are not so much vegetarians as abstainers and non-smokers. Hong Kong. Aug. 8 At a public in dignation meeting held here resolutions were passed expressing anger at the supposed connivance of the Chinese gov ernment in the Ku Cheng massacres and disgust at the apathy and indifference of the British government in failing to re cognize the gravity of the situation. Those present at the meeting further de clared that money compensation for such outrages is wholly inadequate and that swift and stern action is required. WON'T HELP DURRANT. Charles Clark the Missing- Witness Knows Xothing of the Case. Boston, Mass., Aug. 8. Charles Clark, the missiag witness in the case of Theo dore Durrant, to be tried in San Fran cisco for murder, was interviewed just before his departure for the west last night He emphatically declared that he knew absolutely nothing that had any bearing on the murders and that because of a casual remark the lawyers for the defense had sought to stay proceedings through the use of his name. He said he did not know Durrant and never saw him. One of the murdered girls, Blanche Lamont, he knew by sight, but he had never met her in fact. He had seen her on a street car with a young man, and he had made a remark to that effect to a lawyer. The outcome has been his figuring as the important witness. He had thought it over for days, and had concluded that it was fully two or three weeks before the murder when he last saw the girl, and that her companion waa not Dur rant. Fur Over "irty Tears.

The office of the Standard Oil company was the scene ef a sensational cowhiding of a husband by his young wife. Hugh T. Brown, bookkeeper for the company here, and a prominent young man, has entered suit for divorce from his wife, to whom he had been married but three months. He says that shortly after they were married Maude Pharr, who was a very attractive society girl, told him that she (his wife) loved another man. For the three weeks that they lived together as man and wife, she made his life a hell by taunting him with her lack of love for him and the fact that another man filled her heart. Then she left him. A few days ago she walked into his office and struck him with a cowhide. The prominence of the patties has made the affair a big sensa tion. AN IMMENSE SHOW HOUSE. It I To Bo Bu It in Chicaro and V ill Hold 20,000. Chicago, Aug. 8. The Chicago exhi bition company is to have the largest amusement and exhibition building in the world completed September 2. The structure will be known as the "Coli seum," and it is being erected upon the ground occupied during the World's fair by the Buffalo Bill Wild West show. It is 770 feet long by 300 feet wide, cov ering five acres, and giving a total street frontage of 2,200 feet and will seat about 20,000. There will be a ground floor area of 24,000 square feet, together with an interior gallery and mezzan nine stories, gives a total floor area of eight acres. One of the peculiarities of construc tion, and a novel feature of the interior, is the movable character of the im mense auditorium constructed in porta ble sections so that it can be made larger or smaller at pleasure to suit each parti cular show, foot ball games, bicycle tour naments or any other exhibition or gath ering requiring accommodations for an enormous audience and ample space to operate in. BIG DISPLAY FOR G. A. R. Louisville Trying to Make It the Finest Encampment Ever Had. Louisvillk, Ky., Aug. 8. Louisville is making preparations to outshine all other encampment cities, and from indi cations already visible the city will be most gorgeously decorated and illumi nated during the visit of the G. A R The various electric plants doubt of their ability to furnish the additional illumination without extra machinery being put in. All the plumbers in the oity have a rush of design contracts to fill and thousands of yards of bunting are being purchased daily. The city will be a blaze of light at night and the layout of nags and decorations will eclipse any thing heretofore attempted by an en campment city. One feature of the entertainment will be the most stupendous fireworks display on the river ever undertaken. Doom of Witty Frenchmen. "Great wits are sure to madness near allied." The doom of witty Frenchmen who cater to the amusement of the public seems to be the madhouse. Daumier, the greatest of French car icaturists, kept hie mind by throwing away his pencil and retiring to vege tate in the country. Gill, Grevin, Guy de Maupassant died lunatics. It ia now the turn of Jules Jcuy, the comic singer, who sang with irresistible fun hi3 exquisitely finished ditties. As they dealt with current events, he was always on the lookout to give a fresh and comical turn to events not too hackneyed. Hia anti-Paulus music hall campaign against General 3ou langer made him suddenly famous. Yvette Guilbert and the Coquelins found themselves eclipsed. The salons followed Montmartre in lionizing him. At the end of a few eeaeons he was rich and famous. But he fancied it was harder to keep than to win fame worried, fretted, overstrained his via comica, and ia now under restraint. London Truth. Good MUk. So carefully are germs avoided In the dairies of Denmark that the celebrated butter of the country, much of which is sent to England, is washed when necessary in water that has been boiled. The butter is, however, rarely washed, but is first worked over by hand by girls who are scrupulously clean, and afterward finished by ma chinery. This butter, which is mads with the greatest care, from milk that is strained through flannel and after ward filtered through clean gravel, is white in color when finished, and i3 artificially colored. It is very little salted when used at home, but more or less salt is added when it is sent as far as England. It is said to retain its fins quality when shipped better than any butter known. As an incentive to furn lsh only pure milk, the owners of the cows are under contract to notify the buyers at once if 'there is any sickness in their herd. The milk is then bought from them and paid for at the usual price, but it is thrown away. Phila delphia Ledger. What Carats Signify.

Father Marquette's memory was honored here today by many citizens of Miohigan in a celebration in recognition of the mis sionary explorer's services to humanity and the country. The. celebration was also designed to be the initiatory movement for raising money for a suitable monument to be erected over Father Marquette's grave in this city.

Chicago Wheat opened Jc lower than last night's close on easier cables and in sympathy with weakness in corn. It steadied up immediately after the opening and rallied quickly to OSigC on covering by shorts, but lack of outside buying failing to materialize, it slowly declined to yesterday's low point, 66JgC. At this point foreign eables came show ing estimates of large decrease ranging from 100,000,000 to 125,000,000 bush els in the European crop, and. the prevalence of heavy rains in France dur ing the present harvest which caused a wave of buying orders which soon ad vanced the market to near the high point again. The opinion is growing among professional traders and observant out siders that the market is at or near the bottom. The very light crop at home and the poor ontlook abroad have con vinced even the most pessimistic believ ers in low prices that this is to be a bull vear from now on. On all breaks of one cent we advise buying wheat for a good turn. Corn has acted weak all day, but we would advise caution in selling as we be lieve that the market is largely over sold and is hkely to get a very quick rally at any moment, September is now selling on the cash and while we believe that corn is a good sale on all bulges, yet we advise caution selling at present prices. Oats We believe oats are a good pur chase at the present price ana should they go lower we advise buying. Provisions Pork has acted stronger for the past too, and as predicted in ours of last week we advise buying pork around $9.00, as we expect a very sharp advance and it is sure to make handsome profits.

Vsather Indication. Chicago, Aug. 8. For Kansas: In creasing cloudiness, followed by showers; cooler; southerly winds shifting to west erly. Theks is no danger of Governor Mor rill's bank; in Leavenworth being wreck ed. It appears he is not going to close the saloons there. Gold continues to go to Europe and the price of wheat continues to decline. If the price of wheat justified shipping it instead of gold it might be different. The Trades Assembly has perhaps hit upon the surest way of securing Mr. IogalU for a speech on Labor Day, in threatening to get J. Ralph Burton in case the Atchison man refuses to come. It appears that the United States wag much more prompt in' demanding satis faction from China for the outrages committed on the missionaries than it has been in seeking reparation for the Waller outrage. But then France and China are different countries. Thk California plan of having two alternate jurors to serve in case sick ness or death should occur in the regu lar panel U worthy of imitation. The state would many times be saved a very large expenso resulting from the neces sity of a new trial. A better arrange ment, however, would be to allow nine members of a jury to return a verdict, then it wonld not matter whether tiie twelve were present or not. The results of the contest over the sil ver question in the Democratic party up to the present time shows the free silver lenient to be slightly in the lead. In the reliably Democratic states they have captured Missouri and Mississippi as against Maryland for the "sound money" wing of the party and a "stand-off" in Kentucky. In the Republican states of Illinois and Iowa it is '"hosa and boss.'' Ik New York they are organizing to secure a repeal of the excise law. How much more sensible that is than to at tempt to nullify it as Wichita, Leaven worth, Atchison and Kansas City are do ing in this state. There is no quicker way to secure the repeal of aa obnox ious law than to enforce it, Violators of the prohibitory law in Kansas have al ways claimed a majority of the people are against it. Why then don't they try to have it repealed but obey it in the jnean time? The convention of Missouri Democrats which has just adjourned has shown how asy it is to make a party platform that can be understood when it is desired to do so. No "sound money" advocate will claim that this platform means gold monometallism. How different from the atioaal platform of the party adopted in 1S92 which has been claimed by both factions as expressing their views. This money plank of 1692 is what is proposed by the- Democrats in the Republican state of Iowa as a declaration of their views on the money question. This is not to be wondered at, however, when it is considered that there were more than 100 federal office holders in the Iowa convention. Some interesting figures have been compiled from the last census in regard to the decline in the birth rate as com pared to deaths. While the general aver age for the country is but four in a thous and, there is a much greater decline than this shown in the western and southern states where has been the most marked advance in culture and progressive ideas. While the rate in the New England states is lower than ia any other group, it remained almost at a standstill during the decade from 1880 to 1890. The most marked falling off is shown in Utah, where polygamy has been abolished, the decline being from 41.52 to 31.20 per thousand population. Wyoming, where women havo more freedom and indepen dence than elsewhere, comes next with a decline from 27.13 to 21.7S. This last figure is considerably below the general average, which is 26. 68. The Kansas rate is still slightly above the average, being 34.83 in 1880, and 28.16 in 1890. All the eastern and middle states are below the average. The decline is probably due to a keen appreciation of responsi bilities among the prudent and to later marriages. Married people of the pres ent day do not desire large families. As civilization encroaches more and, more upon the means of support, the tendency of the birth rate to decline will become more apparent until a point is reached where deaths and births balance each other, or nearly so. But while fewer children are born to a portion of civilized communities, the birth rate increases in an inverse ratio to culture and intelligence. The millions of Asia and Africa continue to accumulate. Eastebn gold bug organs are making much capital out of Senator Feffer's re ported expression that the silver move ment is dying out in the west. It is the first time that any utterance of the Populist seuator from Kansas has been considered of any importance by this class of papers.

As ev erybody at home and abroad who does not ride on a bicycle seems determined to learn to ride, the subject can hardly fail to be, in the widest sense, popular. Volumes on volumes have been written on the theme in the last year or two. Nearly every newspaper and periodical has more or less of it. Nevertheless it continues to be interesting, especially to those who have just learned, who are learning or who intend to learn". My own personal experience with the wheel has been entirely different from what I have understood others' experi ence to be. And then I have gathered many facts from talking with cyclists and frequenters of "academies" that I did not know before and that others may not know. I can scarcely remember when the bi cycle has not appealed to me as a de lightful form of exercise and recreation. I felt sure I should enjoy it, but I made no attempt to acquire the necessary practice. I was assured that it was easy, but I felt that it would not be easy for me, who never have had the least me chanical skill of any sort. I have heard my father and paternal grandfather say that as boys they could not make a kite for themselves that they could do al most nothing useful with their hands. And I am convinced that this peculiar incapacity has been transmitted to me. In a word, the thing appeared to be too much trouble. So years passed. Cycling became contagious. Persons of all grades, ages, colors, conditions, bestrode the wheel and spun over space as they chose. At last even I was infected. In the immediate vicinity of my home in New York I never looked out of the window or went into the street that I did not see shoals of children, lads, girls, men, wo men, young, middle aged, old, whirl ing by as if they were part of their ma chines. And how they seemed to revel in it! It must, I thought, be glorious fun. I still had doubts of myself, not withstanding that I heard that anybody could learn that nobody who had tried had ever given it up. I determined to make a persistent ef fort to learn bicycling. I carefully ab stained from saying that I could learn, but I promised myself that I would learn, if I should live. I intended to de Tote myself to it as if it were an enor mous task, a labor of months, of years, instead of, as commonly happens, a labor of a few days. I consulted a number of cyclists who had become such within a year and inquired about the character of the leading "academies, conscious that I should need superior teaching. You see how very seriously I considered what the many hold to be a mere trifle and what really is such. The result of my inquiries was that, by excellent advice, I selected one of the poorest of all the 30 "academies" in the city of New York. Much depends,' as I discovered, on one's selection. Many of the instruct ors are rough, illiterate lads who know how to ride themselves, but are incom petent to teach anybody else, and into the hands of one of the worst of these I chanced to fall. They are not, I under stand, paid by the week, but receive 12 cents for each lesson they give, for which the pupil is charged 50 cents, or $2 for five lessons. I took five lessons (the average pnpil is generally said to learn to ride in five lessons) and then knew less about the wheel than I did before I ever mounted one. I ascribed this to the nnintelli gence of my instructor, though it may have been owing to my own stupidity, for I am aware that I am abnormally stupid about cycling. At least I did try, however, and tried hard, and the harder I tried the less I learned. That indeed was the trouble, I suspect. I put my mind into it rather than my body. I reasoned entirely too much about it. I lacked faith in myself and in my wheel. I do not believe, however, that I should have got control of a machine in 50 les sons from such an instructor. I certain ly was not afraid of it or of falling, as men are often accused of being, for I fell frequently, and sometimes quite hard, during my initiate so hard as to arouse solicitude in my not very sensi tive teacher. But I was not hurt in the least. After the five profitless lessons I de cided to seek another academy, and I looked into half a dozen critically, choosing one that seemed satisfactory and was warmly recommended. It de served to be. It has made cyclists out of some very obstinate cases and may have done so even .out of me. On the seventh lesson I was actually able to go round the hall a number of times alone. I was amazed at my proficiency. I had not ex pected to do that for weeks. I was al most as surprised as if I had suddenly learned to fly. The sensation was rav ishing. I further improved in two more lessons, though I still occasionally shot off at a tangent and did not feel at home on a wheeL I was assured that wih a little more practice I could go on the road, and I am bound to credit the assertion. I have since come to the White mountains, bringing a wheel with me, and have begun practice on the un even, sandy roads with animating pros pects. I expect to be seen dashing over the Boulevard on my return to town in October without reminding any one of my excessive clumsiness in adapting fiiyself to the wheel. I have learned authoritatively that some men and women need 25, SO, 40, even 50 lessons, and that others despair cf learning altogether. That the major ity of people require but five or six les sons is only the encouragement cf in structors. But I am convinced that any man may be a cyclist if he will perse vere. I am a case in point.

"I was a baggageman on a passenger train on the C, B. and Q. read for five years before I came east, 6aid the one story man with the yellow goatee. "In my day no man on the face of this earth could beat me at trunk handling, and I got the name along the route of "The Destroyer. I expect I did smash a few hundred trunks yearly, but I wasn't half as bad as they tried to make me out. I had a curious notion about new trunks. I never got hold of one that I didn't just ache to smash it, while I handled the old ones with all smother's care. I think I got malicious about it, but the feeling was beyond my con troL" "And what" I queried. "Well, one day on the run up to Chi cago there came aboard a particularly overgrown and particularly handsome Saratoga. I was mad that day anyhow,' and I no sooner got hold of that big trunk than I saw a way to work off my bile. As soon as the train got under way and I had checked off my numbers I took off my coat and vest and went in for a row with Saratoga. I banged her and slammed her and knocked her about and jumped on her, and in the course of 15 minutes she was the saddest wreck you ever saw. By and by, when I got cooled off, I began to wonder how I could ex plain the damages to the owner, and while thus engaged it seemed as if some of the contents scattered about had a familiar loot." Yes, I'm listening. "I gathered them up and hunted up the end of the trunk to look for a name. I found certain initials which sent cold chills up my back. I wasn't dead sure yet, but was feeling like a fool, when a woman came into the car, saw that wreck and uttered a wild shriek." "She was the owner, of course?" "Yes, of course." "And how did you get out of the scrape?" "I never got out cf the scrape. I'm in it yet. It is thrown up to me every day of my life. "Then the woman was"- "My wife? Yes; she was going np to Chicago on a visit, and, unbeknown to me, had planked down 28 for that Saratoga to pack her duds in. I had tackled and wrecked our own family property, and though I have bought her silks and satirs and diamonds since then she won't let up on me. It got out among the boys, and I just had to leave the road. It got into the papers, and I have to leave Burlington. Say 1" "Well?" "Never mind, though. I'm out of the railroad business and running a butcher shop, and it won't hurt me to have the story republished. If it does, I must stand it. I'm a chump, and chumps have no rights which newspapers are bound to respect. You needn't even try to make it easy for me, for my wife has 52 newspaper articles about it in a scrapbook, and every time I get a little off she points to that book and says 'Young man, come down. You are the chap who knocked the stuffing out of a trunk which cost you a month's wages 1' Equal to the Emergency. Everybody spotted them for a bridal couple as they landed at the Erie depot, in Jersey City, and there was a good deal of winking and nodding among the passengers on the ferryboat crossing to New York. The bride, who was a coun try girl of 20, was very uneasy and evi dently much put out, but the groom, who was two or three years older, didn't propose to be sat down on without show ing his colors. He therefore walked straight up to a man who was grinning and winking and queried "Are you grinning at us, sir?" "Oh, no, no, no!" replied the grinner as he instantly sobered up. "Didn't know but you were. We were 1 just married this morning and are going to spend a week in New York. Have you any objections to the marriage?" "Of course not." "Any objections to the bridal tour?" "No, sir." "You have seen newly wedded cou ples before, haven't you?" kindly in quired the groom. "Yes a few, was the sheepish reply. "Didn't scare you out of your boots, I hoper Do you or any of your friends here want to ask any questions?" The grinner was a very sober looking man now, and he had no reply to that. "Because if they do now is the time, you know. If anybody's at all curious, I'll give 'em our names, ages, where born, how brought up, politics, religion, etc., and add that it was a case of love at first sight and neither of us had any money to speak of. Did you say' No, the grinner didn't say. He was out of sight before the groom had gotten that far, and for some reason there was no more smiKng and nodding among the other passengers. "Well, Tillie," said the husband as he looked all around and then sat down beside the blushing bride, "I thought the crowd wanted to know all about us, and I was willing to explain, but it seems I was mistaken, and so I guess we'll land on the other side all right.

There is au interesting sequel to the death of the man supposed to be Cor nelius La Blanche, the desperado who was ground under the wheels of a Rock Island freight train ia North Topeka yesterday. The brother who was with the dead man when they attempted to board the train when escaping from the officers, returned to Topeka this morning and gave himself up to the police. Officers McElro" and Jailer Hopkins took him in charge. "What kind of a looking m'an was that tnaa who got run over yesterday?" be asked. "Why, do you know him?" "Yes." "Are you his brother?" a9ked the offi cer, detecting the resemblance. "Yes." he replied after a moment's hesitation. The officers were thunderstruck. "What did you try to escape for he wa asked. "Because we didn't want to be taken," was the reply. Further than this LaBIanche refused to tell anything. "Your brother died game," said an offi cer by way of drawing him out. "Yes you know he had nerve lots of It." During the forenoon LaBIanche was taken to Stoker's morgue to view his brother's body. When he entered the room he threw up his hands dramatically and exclaim ed, "Great God! 1 wonder if he's in hell?" Then he sat down on the side of the marble slab that held the body, and cried until the officers led him away. When he was searched by the jailer and also when he was examined by Chief Wilkerson, LaBIanche cried. His grief seems to be deep and overpowering. The man admits that he had a revolver yesterday morning, and fired at the poiica He went on the freight train to Kansas City and read in an evening paper there that his brother was dead. He then took the first train back to Topeka. "I threw my revolver and dagger into the Kaw river before I left Kansas City," he says. La Blanche resembles his dead brother Btrongly. He is younger than his broth er Cornelius, not being over 22 years old. He wears cloth shoes with rubber soles, with which he is able to walk without being heard. He had a pair of shears, a few pennies and a few pieced of cheap jewelry in his possession. La Blanche gives as his reason for not giving an account of himself that he doesn't want their sister to find out how his brother died. He will notify her of the death but will keep the details a se cret from the family. WIFE WENT AFTER HIM. James Billlnp.lea, Ones of Topok limn Away from Home. From the Effiingham New Leaf.

Georgia Hen Ask to be Saved from Mur deresses in a Resolution. Macon, Ga, Aug. 8. The people of Twiggs county, in a largely attended mais meeting, have passed resolutions calling upon the governor to interfere with the hanging of Mrs. Debbie Nobles, the old woman who has been convicted of the murder of her husband. The ag itation over this question promises to become of national importance. It seems that several weeks ago when sentence was pronounced the "New Woman" fad had reached the larger cities of the etate. The women con cerned took the idea that Mrs. Nobles had been driven to the crime by the ex actions of her husband, and they etarted petitions to the governor to commute her sentence. They wrote to sister soci eties in other states, and already letters are coming in from many places pro testing against the death sentence for a woman. So strong has the movement become that the male citizens of the county in which the offense was committed have held a mass meeting to call for the pro tection of men by the execution of fe male murderers: -The resolution adopt ed at this mass meeting of Twiggs county residents reads: "We earnestly protest against the ex tension in any form of executive clem ency to this murderess, polluted with the life blood of her hus band and do hereby declare our perfect confidence in our chief mag istrate and our belief that he will not be swerved from the performance of his sworn duty by a desire to cater to weak sentimentalism or transient public feel ing unless inspired by a desire for equal justice and the sacred execution of our laws." Three, women have been executed in Georgia, a poisoner, a girl accomplice in a murder, and a colored woman who was concerned in the celebrated Eastman riot. INGALLS AND LINCOLN.

Demoralizing Influence of Politics in Glathe Institution. TEiCEERS ILL IS GREAT FEiR That They Will Bo DismUicd to Matte Boom for Poltttetana Children Ke gard Their Teachers Almost as Par ents. "One of the evil effects of politics in our state institutions," said G. C. Ciemens to a Journal reporter, "is especially no ticeable at the deaf and dumb institution at Olathe. I visited the institution some time ago and I found that all teachers in the building were leariui lest tney would be discharged. There is a teacher there, Miss Harrison, who has been there for years and she is recognized as one of the most proficient sign teachers in the world but even she does not know at what minute she will be dismissed and her place given to some one as a reward for political services. 'The changes in the teachers in the in stitutions is one of the most touching things imaginable. The little ones who go there practically have no other home. There was cracticallv no one at their homes with whom they could converse, and it is not strange that they should be come attached to their teachera They become mother, father and friend to the young unfortunates, and it is cruel and inhuLaan to separate them because they do not vote right or because some one that does wants the place." WHO IS GOVERNOR NOW? If Mr. Trontman Is, Will Be Enforce the Law? The question that is agitating the peo ple around the etate house now is, who is governor? Charles S. Martin says that Lieutenaut Governor Troutman ia acting governor with full executive power. Attorney General Dawes says that he ia not, but ret used to give a formal opinion. He said that the same rule applies as in the National government, and that the vice president cannot act except in case of the death or disabtlity of the presi dent. The question is, if Lieutenant Gov ernor lroutman enouiu, uunuif mo governor's abnence, remove the Leaven worth, Atchison ana Kansas iuy ponce commissioners and appoint boards in favor of the enforcement of the law, what would be the result? It would be exceedingly interesting, to say the least, if auch action would be tasen. FOUR COUNTIES OBJECT. They Do Not Want to Pay the University Tax.

Attorney General Dawes says that the trouble is that his opinion was misunder stood.

The attorney general says that the only mistake made by tne legislature was mat tney auempieu to make the levy perpetual ana mat can not be done. He says it is good only lor two years.

Colokado Springs, Colo., Aug. 8.-The great alarm entertained for the safety of four eastern young ladies, supposed to be lost on Pikes Peak, has been allayed by a telegram announcing their safe arrival at the summit. The Misses Park er, sisters, of St. Louis, Ida M. Wright of Fulton, N. Y., and Anna Wagner of Currie Grove, Iowa, started to drive up the peak. At the Seven Lakes they left their team and driver and started to ascend the remainder of the distance on foot, being deceived by the wonderfully clear air as to the actual distance. On the way they encountered a blinding snow storm and nearly perished before reach ing a section house a mile from the sum mit. 1 There they rested, and they then started back to where they had left their driver. He in the meantime concluded from the length of time they were gone that they had reached the summit and concluded to remain there until the storm wag over. He had there fore started back toward Manitou when they reached Seven Lakes. Although fearfully exhausted, the four latJ'ea realized that their only hope was in reaching the station at the top of the Peak, and again they began the ascent with many difficulties, often fall ing exhausted on the rocks. They finally succeeded in reaching the sum mit, -where they were cared for, remain ing there until morning. When the driver reported at Manitou that he had left them on the mountain wild excitement prevailed, and half a dozen parties were at once organized to go in search of them.

A Topeka young man who has been in Colorado spending his vacation, received seventeen copies of a recent number of the State Journal, containing a marked item about him. The street sprinkler man is a friend to tbe wheel riders of Topeka and leaves a small space next to the car tracks dry for them. It has been suggested that a proper punishment for Mickey Heery and his pals would have been to condemn them to wear white duck trousers for a week. A Topeka young man who is compell ed to interview his barber every day, re cently said to a member of Senator Pef tet'm family: "I hate whiskers; don't UII1SU SSi A3 AS C3 otc yara. AJ AS e m ta AS A3 A3 A3 AsJ A3 A A3 A3 A3 A3 O A3 AM 9c yard. fnr S9.1Q Anoh for 59c each.- Ah Ai Ai A3 you?" and then he wondered why his listener seemed sort of nonplussed. Speaking of a Topeka woman, a gen tleman says ''she has wit enough to be beautiful, and beauty enough to be witty,'' and that means a good deal. A woman must be most charming whose gentlemen friends will allow her to be witty at their expense. Sometimes the young fellow who is considered as quiet as a lamb turns out a black sheep. It is said it is good to be perfect in something, be it ever so smalL How about being a perfect idiot? Candor may well be described as the knack of saying unpleasant things. The Town Gossip is candid and lately has been saying some of his unpleasant things to me, probably because he has no opportunity to say them to those toward whom they are directed. Yesterday he met me on the street corner and said: "Don't you think the custom which ob tains in Atchison, of which a Topeka girl who visited there last month tells me is very jay?" 1 replied, "Don't be too slangy, but which custom?" "Why, when there is to be a party in Atchison the hostess sends a list of the invited girls down to the postoffice, (one of the clerks there is a very popular so ciety youog man) and the men just go in and check off the girls they want to take." "They even have them numbered, and it is said the same fellow always gets 14." "Fourteen!" I exclaimed, "why, how obliging he must be. Some Topeka boys don't take even one girl to a party; can it be because some greedy fellow takes fourteen?" 1 Then the T. G. explained that he meant the girl who was numbered 14 always fell to the same fellow. But die still insisted on hearing my opinion of such a plan, and If I thought the girls really approved of it. I was slow to answer, as I was thinking of something else,the assertion that a bright woman had made to me ten minutes be fore, to the effect that all men are spoiled. Stie said, "Why, my dear, the men are all spoiled to death!" I repeated this to the T. G., and ha said, "Of course they are, and you women are to blame for it "For instance? Well, I have just come from the office where a young man of 22 18 employed, lie ,nad just received, as he does daily, from an intelligent, line looking, well-dressed woman, more than ten years his senior, a box of hothouse flowers, accompanied by a tender billet doux. "Not only that, but she goes to the office and ogles him by the hour, to the great disgust of his employer." "Does the young man himself like it?" "O yes; his head is turned somewhat by it, but he does not even shield her in her folly; he sends the flowers to his girl friends and laughs with them lightly, and with his men friends per haps coarsely about her. "Verily, the man who said, 'save me from my friends,' was a philosopher, but it were better to ask to be saved from ourselves sometimes; especially when a balance wheel seems to be lacking in our makeup." I let the T. G. finish his harangue with out interruption or my usual defense of my own sex. Generally I am ready to declare that only women possess any sort of wisdom, but I went on my way wondering if after all some of us really need more suffrage than we have, and if Puck surely could have meant to say, "What fools these women mortals be." Becky Sharp. ADMIRES MRS. CLEVELAND. Mr. Hastings, the President's Nephew, rn Interesting Personage. The Journal, has before chronicled the fact that a nephew of the President of the United States lives in Topeka. Mr. C. E. Hastings, who has an office in the Columbian Building, is that man. Mr. Hastings is above medium height and has a closely built well proportioned figure. He has a very pleasant, rather intellec tual looking face, on the student order. He wears an sxtremely pointed Van Dyke beard. Mr. Hastings' attire is as thoroughly correct and up to date as the most fas tidious could desire. He wears ordinasily a business suit of grey tweed. His club house tie is carefully and properly self tied, and sets exactly right. A small diamond stud is in his snirt front. Although somewhat reserved, Mr. Hastings is a pleasing talker. In answer to an inquiry he says: "No, I have not been with the president much of lata years, though I used to see a good deal ot him when he was governor of New York, and before; and I've been fishing with him, and can vouch -for the fact that he really enjoys the sport ."I have never seen Esther and Marion, bat I have seen Ruth," Speaking of the president, Mr. Has tings always says: "Air. Cleveland" or "the president," never "uncle." Over Mrs. Cleveland he grows enthu siastic, and it is plain he thinks her an ideal woman. Speaking of her tact and diplomacy he says: "I don't believe any one ever accused her of doing anything but the right one." Mr. Hastings was born in Ceylon, In dia, and did not come to America till he was fifteen years of age. His mother is Mr. Cleveland's sister. Mr. and Mrs. Hastings and little son have taken rooms with Mrs. lsbell on Harrison street. SOME NEW SCREENS. The Various Treatments of This Useful and Decorative Article. Screens are no longer an effective and decorative .bit of furnishing merely. They have developed from that stage into the radically useful one, and as their ornamental characteristics are all retained they are a most valued supple ment to the housekeeper's efforts in making the home attractive as well as comfortable and convenient. Among the newest this season are those of burlaps, an effective material which comes in designs of flower-de-luce dragons and the like conventional ly treated on dull reds, greens and blues. Bands of leather put on with brass nails Btylishly finish these screens, or the ma terial is carried over to the back, large dull bronze nailheads being set four or five inches apart along the top. The backs are neatly covered with linen in tones of gray, a narrow gimp tacked on as an edge. The upright mahogany screen has now become in America a sort of elegant ap pointment for the artistic library. They THE NEW BUEJLAPS SCREEN. into vogue during the reign came of Louis XIV and bear the stamp of the furnishings of that period. This email affair, working on a pivot is a and filling two needs a shade for the eyes from the lamplight and a screen from the fire. As it was only a small bit of ornamentation, this little comfort in the olden days was made by one of the family. It was sometimes painted on eatin, embroidered in gold and silver, or perhaps done in old fashioned cross Btitcli. It was handsomely fringed and decorated with cord and tassels of gilt. A writer in the New York Times gives the assurance that all kinds of satin screens are now seen in pretty parlors. In form they are irregular and not very large the gilt frame suiting admirably the dainty texture aDd design. The satins of today are of such splendid tone i that as a general rule they form a fine background for the colors and tints used on them. These affairs look well before a mantel, in a corner, or they can hide the ugly radiator, which finds a place in some of the even high class apartment parlors. The medium size screen is always an additional need when the kitchen door opens into the breakfast room. This useful bit of decoration can be made of linen, in somber tints, the center panel painted in strong picturesque effects, which stand out in bold relief the sides in dull hues, in which a motto with quaint lettering may fill the space. Nowadays screens are treated in the same manner as the furniture for special rooms. They have become a part of the upholstery. Screen frames of all sorts are now on sale at prices of wide range to suit any purse, and with the enamel paints obtainable in any tint or effect the desired finish is quickly added. Peach Cake. Bake a sheet of delicate sponge cake. When cool enough to handle, cut into 3 inch squares, split and arrange half the quantity in dessert plates, crust down. On each slice put a generous quantity of sliced peaches and sugar. Cover each slice with its companion piece, crust down. Serve cold with whipped cream. Fashion Notes. Parasols cf white, pink or blue crape, frilled, harmonizing with tulle, muslin or lace dresces, are also used. Frenchwomen make their most sim ple costumes very chic by wearing a hat in decided contrast of color. A characteristic of the swell black gown is the skirt lining, which must be of some bright colored silk. Organdie, swiss and india mull are the materials most used for young ladies aud white silks, daintily striped or figured with colors, for middle aed women. Finely corded dimities are becoming 'to full figures from, the effect of the cords, no matter how slight they may be. It seems that feathers are to be all the rage as soon as the summer season is ver. Engineer and Fireman Killed. Laconia. N. H, Aug. 8.

Where Children Are of Seme Conee quence White Ctthmore Cloak" Pereale.Prtat and ZephyrCrinzham. New Tobk, August 5. Roses in deep dark and decided colors are now worn set on hats of every kind in profusion. "Jacks," red damask roses and the small red rose of our youth, with its eplendid color and its prodigal clusters, are put upon the hat3 as if they were growing irom some invisible hidden away in the ribbons. NEW MILLINERY. flowers stand up on long stems, nodding and bending with every movement and every breath of air. Many of them give the hats a top heavy appearance,- buc that does not hinder their use. In some cases, however, they are trailed grace fully and naturally around a wide brim med rice straw or leghorn hat, or they are mingled with bows of ribbon. The foliage is of quite as much account as the flowers, and it is surprising to see how carefully each leaf is copied after nature, some leaves even appearing to be faded and worm eaten. This last is quite appropriate this season, as all sorts and kinas of "critters" are at work on the plants, so that few remain un scathed. There is a new straw openwork hav ing serrated edges of split straws which glisten like gold. This forms an admir able ground to plant the artificial roses on, and it is also an effective back ground for almost any kind of trim ming. Ribbons or bias pieces of silk are used as drapery, and a tuft of bronzed feathers adds all the color needed, though roses may be added ad libitum. For an elderly lady I saw a queer little black satin straw capote, with a very full ruching of white edged crepe lisse in front. On the back was a fall of fine white lace, and on the top of the crown there was a tinsel butterfly topped by a curled tuft. There were black ribbon strings. There was a novel hat for a young lady of black plaited silk muslin edged with lace. On the left side was an enormous bow of gold colored silk muslin and back of that a full black os prey spray. Some of the flexible leghorns and fine chips have clusters of roses tucked in under the bent and twisted places, and some have bunches of two to three roses set on the tiny capes or on the collars of the drosses or the revers to the fancy blazer jackets. The silk mull and muslin hats are very popular for lawn parties and such requirements. There is one house in New York which is devoted entirely to children's garments, and here I noticed among other things that the pretty white cash mere cloaks for "long babies'1 are em broidered richly not only in white silks, but also in delicate colors. Pale tints of green form vines and foliage, and there are delicate pink flowers on those for girls and blue for boys. Batiste, cam bric, jaconet and linen lawns are em ployed for the little dresses, and tucks in fine clusters, hand run, together with the old fashioned stout embroidery, are used for trimming. For several seasons lace has taken the place of the embroid ery. I should say the cloaks, are made in two pieces one a snug coat with flaring long skirt and a cape reaching two-thirds the whole length. For sum mer "long babies" that is, babies in long dresses have elbow sleeves, and the necks of the dresses are cut out slightly. For fall long sleeves and en tirely high necked .dresses are necessary for the proper protection of the child. For the wee toddler the percale, print and soft zephyr ginghams are the best for every day. These, edged with em broidery, are quite fine enough for all occasions. Still pure white is more dressy. For small boys pique and cot ton bedford cord are good, because FOB THE LITTLE ONES. strong. These may be in solid colors or printed, and the skirts are better kilted. There are dozens of different cotton goods suitable for everyday summer frocks for little girls, but of them all the ginghams are the most serviceable. A pretty way to make them is to shirr the skirt to a yoke, in Hubbard fashion, with a pierrot ruff around the neck. Bishop sleeves are by all means best for children. Nearly all small children's frocks button all the way down on the I back for the sake of the overworked laundress. Olive Harpeb. source These A STATUE OF THE PATHFINDER." The Associated Pioneers of the Territorial Days of California, who recently solicited com petitive designs tor the General Fremont statue, have selected as most appropriate and artistio that submitted by Mrs. Clio Hinton Huneker, of New York city. In specifying as to tbe nature of the design the committee requested that tho story of the Great Rock on Fremont Peak, where General Fremont engraved the cross as a symbol of the Christian faith, should be told In an artistio and impressive manner- The figure of General Fremont is to be of bronze, eight feet in height, and mounted on a stone pedestal of naturally rough rock, fourteen feet in height, with a bronze panel, twelve feet long, at Its base. On the panel is a bas-relief of the exploring party, iieaded by the "Pathlinder," making their way to the spot where General Fremont carved the cross. Tnis scene commemorates Fremont's first expedition ecross the continent in 184:, when the explorers made the ascent of what has since been named Tremont's Peak, now in Wyoming, and which by act of legislature has been reserved as a state park. The statue wilt be erected in Rockland cemetery on the banks of the Hudson river near New York. GENERAL MAXIMO GOMEZ, Commander-in-Chief of the Cuban Forces..

Statistics re ceived at the Indian bureau show that 80,000 Indiana are novr engaged in farm ing, stock raising and other civilized pur suits. During the year they raised over 1,878,000 bushels of corn and other grain and vegetables in proportion. They own 206,000 head of caUie, and 1,284,000 heep. About 22,000 Indians voted at the last election. It is estimated that 30,000 out of the total Indian population of 247.0'JO are ch.urch members. Out of the 247, 000, 189,000 are self-supporting and 35,000 pay taxes. IRRIGATORS TO CONTEST. "Will App.al from the Decision Making California Irrigation Law Invalid. San Francisco, Aug. 8. Local hold ers of irrigation bonds have decided to appeal from the recent decision of Judge Ituss in which he declared the Wright irrigation law to be unconstitutional At a meeting held last night $1,250, 000 in bonds were represented and it wag decided to form a fund for the pur pose of securing attorneys and paying the expenses of an appeal from the de cision. Among the bondholders present were several representing German and Swiss capitalists. HITCHING POST ORDINANCE It la Not Dead, Nor Is It Even Sleeping. Councilman Stephenson says that his hitching post ordinance is not dead yet. The committee decided to report it un favorably, but the report was not made at the last meeting of the council as in tended. Tho committee decided to with draw the report to await developments, and with a few changes the Second ward councilman may yet be rewarded by see ing his beloved ordinance placed on the calendar with a favorable recommenda tion. Councilman Stephenson himself thinks that the ordinance should describe where the posts should be placed, so that on Kansas avenue there would be no inter ference. Denver.

The Floral TriDutea Were Handaome and Dr. Gunsaaltt Iellvered the Sermon. Rock Island Paymaster Wm. Hodson, Assistant Auditor H. F. Morris, Car Ser vice Agent J. P. Johnson, George B. Painter of the passenger department, Construction Superintendent W. E. Dauchy and T. B. Trader, traveling freight agent, returned yesterday from Chicago, where they attended the funeral of General Superintendent Charles Dunlap, who died there Sunday morning. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church, at the corner of Sixty-fourth street and Yale avenue, in Englewood, and the body was placed in a vault in Oatwood cemetery. Rev. F. W. Gunsaulus delivered an eloquent funeral oration at the church. The church building was packed, and more than 1,000 persons attended the services. Nearly all of them were Rock Island employes. A special train, con sisting of eight coaches, was run from the union depot to accommodate the em ployes. The floral tributes were many and handsome. A large one of white flowers six feet high came from the Dea Moines division employes. A broken column of flowers eight feet high was contributed by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the O. R. C The employes of the eastern division in Kansas which includes Topeka gave a full size broken car wheel of white flow ers. A clock with the hand stop at 2 15 the hour of Mr. Dunlap's death, came from the Southwestern division employes in Kansas. The pall bearers were superintendents of the eight divisions of the road, as fol lows: S. B. Hovey, Fort Worth. W. M.' Hobba, Horton; W. J. Lawrence, Trentoo; W. H. Slillwell, Des Moines: C. S. Nichols Chicago; R. B. Agnew, Colorado Springs; C. H. Hubbell Chicago, and Harry Fox of Ilerington. TO MOVE THE CAPITAL. Neir Kansas Party That Wants to Deprive Washington of Its Importance. A convention of "Reformers" was held in Labette county, a few days ago, at which steps were taken to perfect the organization of a new political party to be known as the Independent American. The principles of the proposed party were set forth in elaborate resolutions declaring for true Americanism, free coinage of silver, and the removal of the national capital to some point more cen tral than Waehington. A call was issued for a state conven tion to be held at Topeka, on Thursday, Sept. 5, to which all persons in sympathy with the principles of the proposed par ty are invited. Patriotic orders, such as the A. P. A., are especially invited to send delegates. TROUBLED SUFFRAGISTS. Rumor That Their Girl Baly at Scranton is a Boy. The Topeka suffrage ladies are in graat trouble. It has been announced by some unprincipled person that their baby at Scranton has no teeth, is bald-headed, or neariy so. All this is a source of great annoyance to the ladies who had already gone to the trouble of naming the baby after their great leader, Susan B Authony. Nor is this all. Sme one has even declared that it is a boy. It wouldn't be right at all to name a boy Susan B. Anthony and the Topeka women are well, disturbed. It is believed, however, that all this is a vile calumny and that the baby must really be a girl with long, dark, wavy hair. PLAYS TO BE HERE.

EASY TO KILL. Russian Thistle Can lie Exterminated If Not Allowed to Go to Seed. State Secretary of Agriculture Cobura ears of the Russian thistle: "The plants are now generally coming into bloom or forming their seeds, and should be sought out and exterminated before any have time to" ripen. A majority of the people seem to suppose that because the plant is called a 'thistle' (which it is not,) that it is itkin to the Canada thistle, with roots that live through the winter and are only destroyed by digging, salting, burning, etc., which is all a mistake. This Rus sian importation is an annual, producing only from the seed each season, and needs but to be cut off near the ground before the seeds mature to prevent its spread. There is, to be sure, a law re quiring the destruction of such noxions weeds, nnder the direction of the county commissioners, but no right minded cit izen should wait to be commanded by public officials before beginning a per sistent war of extermination on such en emies. Russian Crop Prnpreti Poor. Washington, Aug. 8. Consul Gener al Karl at St. Petersburg, furnishes the stata department with a review of the crop prospects in Russia. The report is to the effect that while in some regions there is a good crop, in others the out look is very poor, owing to bad weather, late sowing and other conditions. Mr. Karl says that both winter and spring wheat have suffered. Mrs. Mattie Couch, a widow ajed 60, died at 1311 North Jackson street yes terdav of cancer. CASAB1CRANKA. The girt sat on the bast"ball stand All but her beau had fled. And he, poor chap, could not demand Belief from what she said. 'Why does the pitcher throw it sot" She murmured in dismay. "Such actions violent, you know. His awkward moves display. ?hy does he so expectorate Upon the enow white ball? Vas he not taught until too late That that's not nice at all? Vhy does that fellowdon a cage And let his voice resound In cries of 'Strike!' awak'ning raee In those upon the ground? Why do the runners always fall And slide upon their face, Or else they do not care at all Upon some other place? Why do the people murmur 'Rank?' He has no rank, 'tis plain. Why does that player, lean and lank, Seem in such awful pain? Why does the catcher wear that pad Close to his bosom pressed? And why ha3 not the other had His clothes cut like the rest? Why does that player swing the wood In such a reckless way And question, as no good man should. What those behind him say? Why do the men such colors wear" But here she turned her head. And then at last became aware Her escort had dropped dead. Nebraska State Journal. Hypnotized. "Now, Wally," said Edgar, with a friendly smile, "I just want to make an experiment. If you offer no resistance, I think I can hypnotize you. "What you have to do is to maintain a passive mental attitude. Try to think of nothing what ever no, not even of me. Come, try to be serious. There, lean back and make yourself comfortable. So; that will do. Now turn your eye to this light and don't forget that your mind is to be kept entirely inactive. I will count 60 seconds by my watch." The young1 lady scrupulously obeyed these instructions. In 20 seconds her eyes twinkled after 40 they closed completely. "Ah! I knew I should do the trick!" Edgar triumphantly exclaimed. "Now, Wally, I command you to reveal to mo the secrets of your heart. Whom do you love? Tell me, I say!" An expression of reluctance flitted for a moment over the maiden's face; then she began in a monotonous drawl: "I love Edyar P., and" "Yes! Yes!" exclaimed the enraptured Edgar. "Goon. Tell me all tho secrets of your heart "I love Edgar P.," she went on in the same tone, "and I would love him still more were he noc so stingy. I should like to go to the theater twice a week, but he only takes me there once in three months. I wanted diamond rings, and ho gives me rings with cheap stones. I should like to have gone for a drive once or twice a week, but he never invites me. When I walk out with him and feci hungry, he never thinks of treating me to oysters. When I" "Enough!" the young man cried. "Wakoup! I command you!" And so saying he made a rapid exit, without awaiting the result of his com mand. Das Neue Blatt. Complimented. The Prince de Joinville tells In his "Memoirs" a story that is rather hard on the Americans he found during his visit to this country in war tjmes: "Ono.of the chief members of society at the time was the British minister, Mr. Fox, a diploma tist of the old school. I was told that one day as ho was leaning against a chimney piece in a drawing room, where dancing was going on, in deep conversation, an American came and stood just in front of him in a country dance. Soon the young man began to show signs of anxiety; his voice grew thick, his cheeks swelled alter nately, and he cast anxious glances at the chimneypiece. At last he could hold on no longer, and with the most admirable precision he shot all the juice of his quid into the fireplace just between Mr. Fox and his interlocutor. 'Fine shot, sir,' the old diplomat contented himself with say ing, with a bow." Argonaut. The Lucky One. He Look, quick! Jack Dashing is kissing your sister.

It is All Right Bat Brick Men Trying to Discredit It. An effort will be made to have a strip of asphalt on either side of the car tracks where it has been the most worn resurlaced. The people of lopeka want the asphalt to stay. The wily schemes of the brick men to wheedle the city into the belief that the asphait is entirely worn out and brick should be put down will not be successfuL The people have tried both kinds of pavements and have found that there is no comparison between the two kinds. With the repairing Kansas avenue needs it will be in excellent shape and the cost will not be great. If it is not repaired the brick men will be happy, for they will then see their way clear to having the asphalt tabooed entirely and turn up within a few years. The city engineer has found that if the surface heater is used on the strip on either side of the car tracks it will put the pavement in the best of condition, and it is probable that the committee on streets and walks will make such a rec ommendation to the council at the nex; meeting. The cost now is only half what it has been to make the repairs. The company used to charge 1.50 per square yard and now the contract price is but 15 cents. WILL BE BURIED ALIVE. A Mind Header Who Will Try It for Ten Days. San Fbancisco, Aug. 8. Mind Reader A. Mclver Tyndall proposes to permit himself to be buried alive for ten days. At the end of this time he expects to be resurrected alive. His proposal is to be placed in a hermetically sealed casket, being first covered with clarified butter, called by East Indians "gee," sealing ali the pores of the body, eyes, mouth, ears and nostrils. This work is to be performed under the eyes of physicians. The casket is then to be placed six feet under ground, covered with earth, and grass seed is to bs planted and permitted to spring above. Trusted men are to keep guard over it day and night. At the expiration of the tenth day it shall be disinterred and opened in the presence of physicians who had witnessed the interment. The experiment is modeled after the feats performed by an East Indian sect. The feat will be performed at Santa Barbara. NEW PASSENGER RATES. Western Passenger Men Fixing Fall Bates at Kansas City. Will Nicholson, chief rate clerk of the Santa Fe, is in Kansas City attending a rate meeting of the passenger men of the west. Fall rates are being discussed in general and the meeting wili result in a general revision of the passenger rate sheets of the west and southwest. The matter of the rate from this terri tory to the G. A. R. national encamp ment at Louisville, Ky., in September is being discussed. It is likely to be an open rate of one fare for the rouud trip.

The navy de partment has determiued to give the ciuiser Atlauta a thorough overhauling next winter if congress can be induced to appropriate the necessary funds. It will cost about $800,000 to do this, but if the plans in contemplation are carried out, the old Atlanta will be practically a new ship when she emerges from the hands of the workmen.

TO SELL N. P. LANDS. The Receivers Will Place' Them on the Market for Settlers. Spokane, Wn., Aug. 8. Receiver Henry C. Payne of the Northern Pacific arrived last night on a special train from the east With him is United States Cir cuit Judge Jenkins of Milwaukee, who made the original order appointing the three receivers for the Northern Pacific. "The receivers have made application for authority to enter upon extensive j improvements on the road," said Air. Payne. "Judge Jenkins before granting i the desired authority expressed a pur pose to travel over the line and judire for himself as to the need of the proposed changes." The receiver's attention was dire cted to the dispatch bearing the information that Brayton Ives, in the federal court at Seattle yesterday had applied to Judge Hanford to have the receivers appear and show cause why an order appointing them receivers had not been declared null and void. "This is the same old trouble," Mr. Payne said. "Threshing over eld Btraw between Ives and the Adams interests. "The Northern Pacific is a great pub lic highway, and its construction was largely aided by a laud grant. The peo ple, therefore, have a right to expect con tinued individual operation of the road. "The receivers have recently entered upon a new policy iu regard to tho dis posal of these lands to actual settlers. They desire the advent of immigration, and the se.tlement of the country. The lands will accordingly be sold to pur chasers of this class at prices- they are able to pay, and which are close to gov ernment prices." ONE OF QUaWrILL'S GANG Jim Clark. Who Was Shot at Tellnride, Had a Remarkable Career as Outlaw. Denvkr, Aug. 8. Jim Clark, the Rio Grande railroad detective wiio was shot and killed in the street at Teliuride yes terday by an unknown assassin, was for merly a desperate outlaw and is believed to have himself killed more than a score of men. During the war he was a member of Quantrill's band of guerrillas. Afterward he was a government scout and Indian fighter. He was a member of the Jesse James gang, and after it was broken np he committed numerous stage robberies in the northwest. Eight years ago he settled in Teliu ride, where he served a long time as town marshal, enforcing strict observ ance of the law. He had the reputation of being one of the best shots in the world.

There is a controversy of small practical importance, interesting from e. purely lit erary point of view namely, which reli gion possesses the largest Bible. The rab bis, with wonderful patience, have ascer tained, by actual counting, that the Old Testament in Hebrew contains 593,493 words, 2,728,100 letters and 23,214 verses. Christian students, with even greater pa tience, have ascertained that the Bible in the authorized version contains 773,092 words, 3,586,489 letters and 31,173 verses. The results of these labors, though inter esting and curious, are comparatively small. For instance, it has been found out that verse 8 of Psalm cxviii forms the cen ter of the whole Bible; that verse 21 of chapter vii of Ezra contains all the letters of the English alphabet except F; that II Kings, chapter xix, is identically the same as Isaiah, chapter xxxvii; that the word "Lord" occurs 1,855 times, the word "rev erend" but once, the word "and" 46,277 times. The Rig-Yeda, the oldest of all sacred books, contains about 10,500 verses and 153,826 words. The Avesta, such as we now possess it, claims 73,020 words. What must strike every one in these statistical researches is the great amount of repeti tion in all the sacred books. For instance, although the number of words in the Old Testament is estimated at 593,493, the words occurring in a dictionary of the Old Testament would amount to no more ti about 5,642; so that, on an average, eveiy word is used 100 times.
