j, One Ilnndred Millions More j- Dumped Into the Gizzard 'OF THE GOLD MOLOCH. The Harpies Crowd Thick About the Spoils. 'Such Throngs From Wall Street -Gather There THAT JUDAS CARLISLE Can Scarcely Worm Himself Into the Room. The Bond Issue Subscribed for Six Times Over. Washikgton, Feb. 5. The secretary of the treasury today opened the bids for the purchase of $100,000,000 United States 4 per cent thirty year bonds which have been received under his call dated Jan uary 6, last. By 12:15 p.m. there had been received 8,707 bids, aggregating $380,323,500, ranging in price from par to $119 and a fraction. Other bids not yet opened would probably raise the number to 4,500, aggregating $75,000,000 more. At 9 o'clock this morning a force of c'erks i.i the loans and currency division of the United States treasury began tne task of opening and scheduling the bids. The clerks employed in -this work were not allowed to leave the room until the time for receiving bMs had closed, bo that by no chance couid any informa tion in regard to the bids be prematurely disclosed. The bids were announced from the Schedule already prepared in the secra- tary's office, where a large number of bidders and representatives of the press had catJUered. The interest manifested at the treas ury department In the opening of the bids for the present loan far exceeded that attending either of the others, and as early as V: i o cock, the prominent capitalists lrom New York and other eastern cities began to put in appearance at the treasury. Many of them called on Assistant Sec -retary Curtis, who explained to them what arrangements had been made for the opening. Among those who had ar rived up to 11 o'clock were Win. H. Coombs, president of the Manufacturers Trust company of Brooklyn; Sir. Gra ham, of the International Trust company of Boston; Mr. Hendricks, president of the .National bank of Brooklyn; Mr. Toulmin, vice president of the Hide and leather bank of Boston; Mr. Redman, of lied id an, Kerr Co., security dealers of New York; Mr. Burns, of the American Exchange National bank of New York, and 31 r. Lehman, of Lehman Bros., New York. The opening and scheduling of the bids was conducted under the direction of Assistant Secretary Curtis by a com miltee consisting of Mr. Morgan, United States treasurer, Mr. Eckels, the comp troller of tho currency, Mr. Huntington, chief of the division of loans and cur rency. Later on the arrivals included Mr. Martin Erdman of Speyer Co., New York; President John A. McCall and C. Ci Baldwin of the New York Life Insur ance company of New York; I. G. Hampton, representing John A. Stew art, resident of the United Stales Trust company of New York; Mr. Wormser of Wormser Bros., New York; Daniel Magone ot Ogdensburg, N. Y., and ex-collector of customs of the port of New York, and Mr. Kemp of the Com mercial and Farmers Bank of Baltimore. Dr. George W. Hosmer and Mr. James Creelman, representing Mr. Pulitzer of the New York 'World, Mr. Burnett of the Investment Corporation company New York, and Mr. Chandler of Boston. All the morning bond bids came in rapidly, sweliing largely the already long string of bidders, great and small. Every train and every mail brought a list of bond bids and at 11 o'clock the ex pectations of treasury officials were ris ing and predictions were made freely that the loan would be largely over sub scribed and that the bonds would bring a good price. At 11:30 the large crowd assembled about the secretary's door was allowed to enter, and all of the available space was soon occupied Secretary Carlisle entered the room at 12 o'clock. The room at that time was bo densely crowded that it was with much difficulty that he could make hia way to a seat. The big syndicate bids were not re ceived until this morning and the result was that it was impossible at 1 o'clock to give their amounts or prices, the force of the treasury clerks being swamped with the work of tabulating the vast number of bids received urior to today. These earlier bidders with'the exception of Robert E. Glendeniog, Philadelphia $500,000 at $112:75; Albert L. Judson $500,000 at $113.75, all bid for amounts below half a million, the amounts rang ing from $50 to about $300,000. The treasury tabulated the bids according to the price offered. There were 154 bids aggregating $3, 800,450 at 110; 84 bids aggregating $983 800 at 110.2992. The Hanover National bank bid for $1,000,000 at 109; do at 109.95; do at 110.299, do at 110. 5i; do at 110.875. Xkara were fifty-three bids aggregat ing $1,269,750 received at 110.50. Joseph Pulitzer bid for $1,000,000 at 1.14. In a note accompanying his bid, Mr. Pulitzer says: "This bid, at the highest market today, is in lieu of the offer of the New York World to head the list with a sub scription of $1,000,000 to a popular loan on the basis which was not adopted of an open subscription at a fixed and equal rate." Merchants National Bank, Baltimore $350,000; Heidelbach, Iekelheimer Co., $1,000,OOU; U S. Trust Co., by John A. Stewart president, $4,000,000; Vermillion Co.. $2,000,000; Lazard Freres, $4,000,000; German American In surance Co. of New York, $200,000; and New York State National Bank of Al bany, N. Y. $300,000. The Latest Amount of the Kltls. Washington, Feb. 5.-2:30 p, m. The total (corrected) number of bids received for the new loan is 4,640 aggregating $058,209,850. This number and amount do not include three bids of $100,000,000; $10,000,000 and $0,000,000 which are at least of doubtful au thenticity. Secretary Carlisle was greatly pleased at tho brilliantly con spicuous success of the loan and said it allowed what the people of this country would do when appealed to. He thought too that the effect abroad would be very marked in our favor. WHAT THKSJS HOSBS ARB. Particulars Ab.-nt the $100,000,000 Issue Mail Today. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, Feb. 5. The United States 4 per cent 30-year bonds which were issued today are redeemable in coin and will be issued in denominations of $10 or multiples of that sum as may be desired by the bidders. Only United States gold coin or gold cer tificates will be received in payment of the bonds. Under the terms of the secretary's cir cular calling for bids the first payment of 20 per cent and accrued interest, must be made upon receipt of notice of the acceptance of the bid. The remainder of the amounts bid to be paid in install ments of 10 per cent each and accrued interest at the eud of each fifteen days thereafter. Accepted bid ders, however, are allowed to pay the whole amount of their bid3 at the time of the first installment, or at any time previous to the maturity of the last in stallment, provided that all previous in stallments have been paid. The bonds will be dated February 1, 1895, to run thirty years from that time and will therefore mature February 1, 1925. According to the calculations of the actuary of the treasury, a bidder in order io realize 2l,4 per cent interest on his investment should have offered 130.8749 for each $100 in bonds bid for to reaiizo higher rates of interest, bids should have been made as follows: 2 per cent, $124:9234; 3 per cent, $119 3229; 3 1-16 ppr cent, $117.9749; S1 per cent. 116.6471; 3 3 18 per cent', $115.3391; aj-i per cent, $114.0506; 3 b-lti per cent, $112.7814; 3?g per cent, $111,530; 3 7-16 per cent, $1102992; per cent, $lo9.-0856; 3 9-16 per cent, $107. 8900; 3s per cent, $106.7121; 3 11-16 car cent, $105.5516; 834 per cant, $104.4U82; 3 13-16 per cent, $103. 2816: ZVZ per cent, $102.1710; 3 15-10 per ceut, $101.0778; 4 per cent, $100.0000. For the 5 per cent of Feb. 1, 1894. there were in all 288 bids, representing $52,292,150. Of this amount $42,995,850 was bid for at the upset price of $117, 223 and $9,295,300 at a price in excos? of that figure. The amount awarded was $50,000,000 upon which the government realized a premium of $8,633,295. For the 5 per cent loan of November 13, 1894, for which there was no upset price, the government received 394 bids amounting to $178,341,150. The amouut of the bids received at $116.8898 was $50,000,000, amount below that rate $61,770,100 at rates be tween $116.8S98 and $111.7077, $5,629, 8 JO; at $117,077, $50,000,000 made by the Morgan-Belmont syndicate. The amount bid at rates above $117. 077 was $10,9o5,250. The syndicate bid was accepted, the government realizing a premium of $3, 53?,5'J0. The gold purchase of February 8, 1895, was for 3,500,000 ounces payable in United States 4 per cent bonds. The bid of the Morgan syndicate to furnish the gold was accepted. The government under the terms of this agreement issued bonds amounting to $62,315,400 for which the syndicate paid a: the rate of $1044946 per $100, the government thus realizing a premium of $2,800,644.

While His Cousin, T. J. Kellam, Lies Coffined IN HIS DARKEN ED H03I E Mr. Ed Kellanrs Death a Shock ing Surprise. An Unexpected Attack of Heart Disease THE CAUSE OF IT. The Funerals to Be Held Simul taneously, If Present Arrangements Are Not Altered. The relentless angel of death spread bis sable wiugs over a Topeka family, and before he had winged hia flight two households were desolated, and two men of the same name and of the same kin were stretched cold in death. Never in the history of Topeka has there been such a sad and startling coin cidence. Yesterday morning, Mr. T. J. Kellam, after a fortnight's suffering passed away, and this morning, his cousin, Mr. E. P. Kellam, in full health and vigor, but a moment before, sank down and died. Words cannot express the shock that that these two deaths coming so closely together havo caused in social and com mercial circles in this city. When Mr. E. P. Kellam stood by his coneiji's bedside and saw his life go out there was no premonition of his own end, though he was stfraugely affected by his cousin's death He spoke of it only in a whisper and as if the death had been a terrible blow to him. -Mr. Kellam's death came like a thun der clap to his friends and it was un doubtedly hastened by the death of his cousin. He was with T. J. Kellam when he died yesterday and spent almost all of Monday night with him. He did tre complain of being sick but was melan choly. He was at his office at the gas com pany headquarters yesterday afternoon a short time and complained to Judge J. T. Clark of feeliug tired. He went home early in the day to rest and arose at the usual time this morning appar ently as well as ever. He ate his break fast and started for the office. At the corner of Fifth and Harrison streets he met Mr. W. A, L. Thompson and the two men started to walk down town together. When they had almost reached Kansas avenue he pressed his hand to his breast and said: "I am not feeling well and I believe I will go home." Mr. Thompson inquired whether hs felt very sick and Mr. Kellam replied- "No; but there is a pain here." Mr. Thompson offered to walk home with him, but Mr. Kellam said that it was not necessary and that he could easily go home without assistance. He tho n turned around and started back the way he came and Mr. Thomp son came on to his store. Mr. Kellam walked home unassisted and his wife met him at the door. He said that he was not feeling well and would lie down a few momenis. He went into the sitting room and threw himself on a large leather covered couch, while Mre. Kellam arranged pil lows under his head. She theu got a restorative from the sideboard and he drank a little. His breathing became more labored, but still neither he nor any of his family felt alarmed. In a few moments the attention of Mrs. Kellam was called to her hnsband. lie was breathing with the greatest difficulty and appeared uncon scious. She ran to him, water was brought and other methods of reviving him were employed, but in a few mo ments breathing ceased altogether and he expired without a word or opening his eyes. Mr. G. G. Gage, who was his most in timate friend, was first notified and the neighbors began to gather in. The body of Mr, Kellam was lifted from the couch and carried to a bed room adjoining. His death occurred at 9 o'clock, about twenty minutes after he returned to the house. He did not talk after he lay down on the couch and he died without appar ent suffering. It is supposed that his death was the result of heart failure, but it was not known by his family that he was afflict ed with that disease. He has complained very little, though his health has not been good for several years. Mr. Kellam talked to a Journal re porter at the home of Mr. T. J. Kellam at noon yesterday. He seemed very much affected by his cousin's death, but there was no indication that he was ill. He told about the details connected with his cousin's life with no thought that in less than twenty-four hours his own earthly career would be closed. Mr. Edward P. Kellam was one of the oldest settlers of Topeka and was 62 years of ago. He came to the city in 1857 and has lived here ever since. His brother, Charles Kellam, was one of the first postmasters of Topeka, and E. P. Kellam worked with him in the office. He has amassed quite a fortune and his wealth is estimated at $75,000. He has for many years bsen a stockhold er in the gai company and cashier. He was married in 1857 in St. Joseph to Miss Orpha DeWoife, who formerly lived in Topeka. They have had two sons, but E. P. Kellam, Jr., a young man about 21 years of age is the only child living. Last summer Mr. Kellam built a hand some mansion atH5 Topeka avenue and only a few months ago he moved into it with his family. It is furnished with the greatest of elegance and is one of the finest and most complete homes in Topeka. Mr. Kellam became rich through the boom in Topeka. Hs sold a tract of land west of the "city for $3 J.00O, and kept the money, while other people went wild and made investment after investment, until when the bubble burst they found themselves worse off 'than if they had nothing. The funeral arrangements of J. T. and E. P. Kellam have not yet been en tirely completed but it is probable that they will be held together from the Episcopal church at 2 p. m. on Friday. The delay in the arrangements is caused bv the failure to hear from a brother of T. J. Kellam who lives in Florida. The idea of having but one funerel was suggested by J. S. Collins, D. W. Nellis and other friends of the families and it is probable that it will be so ar ranged. If not, the funeral of E. P. Kellam will ba held at 2. p. m. on Friday and that cf T. J. Kellam at the same hour on Saturday. Banks Will Ha Closed. The clearing house association held a meeting today in the parlors of the Na tional and adopted resolutions on the death of T. J. Kellam, who was a mem bar of the association. It was decided to close the banks at 2 p. m. on the day of tho faneral and a committee consisting of the following gentlemen was appointed to attend the funeral: Maj. M m Sims, John R. Mulvane, C. C. linker, I. B. Snow, Peter Smith, E. D, Small, P. L Bonebrake, SEDAL1A WINS. Everything Smootli Sailing ow to 4et tlie Capital or Missonri.

The legislature in establishing the six divisions of the court of appeals neglect ed to provide any way for the organiza tion of the political, machinery to make nominations for judges in the several divisions. v Chairman Lelsadfte-Republican state central commitee suggested mat the state committee take hold of the matter aud designate persons from the several divisions to call division conven tions to put the required party machin ery in motion. Tula was done at last night's meeting of the state central com mittee. The following resolution offered by J. B. Tomlinson was adopted: "Resolved, That the members of the state Republican central committee, who represent tne counties constituting tne several appellate court districts, b and are heretiy authorized to call judicial conventions in the respective divisions at such time and place as in their judg ment will be agreeable to the Republi cans of such district." The members of the several divisions organized at once. In the northern de partment, eastern division, J. F. Getty of Kansas City was made chairman and J. J. Cox of Lawrence, secretary. Central division, J. B. Tomlinson, chairman, J. C. Postlethwaite, secretary. Western division, K. E. Wilcockson chairman, J. R. Sedgwick, secretary.

After several hours of deliberation the sun concluded to show himself, and as a result the clouds have taken a lay off iu this portion of the state this p. iu. If the weather men are correct in their prognostication the lay off will extend over tomorrow, as they state that fair and warmer weather will be our portion. In eastern Kansas along the lines of the Santa Fe similar weather to that ex perienced in Topeka exists. In southern part of state clear aud pleasant weather is reported. Clear and cool weather is reported on all divisions of the Ruck Island, with the exception of the Omaha and a portion of the western, where a cloudiness exists. In New Mexico the weatQer is report ed clear and cold. In Colorado and Texas clear aud cool weather is being experienced.

Can He Justify His Death Deal ing Shot? WITNESSES DECLARE That Gaines Was Pounding Mrs. Crusrer's Mother With a Piece of Hose W hen Mr. Crusrer Interfered. THE TESTIMONY SHOWS That Cruger Was Not Resisting When He Was Shot. The district court room was filled to day by those anxious to hear the trial of ex-Poiiceman Gaines for murder. The defense has brought forward a fine point to overbalance the argument that Gaine3 was a trespasser because he had no warrant. Tom Robbius was putting he stolen wagon tongue over which the shooting occurred into a buggy, they claim, in the plain sight of the officer when he arrived. They say that appropriating stolen property to one's use is a crime. As Tom Robbins was doing this in sight of Gaines he had a right to take him with out a warrant. The witnesses for the state are ex-Coroner F. W. Bailey, Dr. J. B. Hibben, Mrs. Maggie Cru ger, Cynthia Bobbins, Lillie Robbins, Caroline Henthorn, Tom Robbins, Robert Hitchcock, Jack Neal, Sarah A. Garland, Mrs. E. B. Akeroyd, Mrs. E. L. Kinade, Jesse Smith, Mrs. Silvernail, Anna Silvernail. H. S. Bates, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Christopher, Mr3.Diffii, Mrs. Carter Roe and Miss Inis Kincaid. There are twenty-one of them but it is not likely that they will all be called. When the defense begins its presenta tion of testimony Gaines will probably be the first on the stand on his own be half. Following him will come OHie Smith, Scott Carr, Henry Schriber, P. L. Wonderly,Delaney Wilkerson,Policeman Art Wellman, L. Rooker, Fry, and perhaps Mrs. Dalnney Wiikeraonl Yesterday afternoon a jury was se cured after seven challenges by the de fense and five by the state. The defense waived its other five rights of challenge and the jury was sworn. The jury is made up of F. H. Schone, Albert Griffith, J. H. Howes, J. T. Fraok Iin, J. M. Bowers, C. A. Lamb, C. M. Z r kle, G. W. Berry, J. D. Harvey, C. D. Bush, James Stevenson, A. E. Jackson. The state first, put upon the stand Mrs. Cruger, the wife of the man killed by Gaines. She took her two little children to the witness stand with her. Q Were you at the hom9 of your mother, Mrs. Robbins at 1513 North Har rison, street on August 2G last. A Yes; I went there after dinner to help them pack up a3 they were going to move. Mr. Cruger and Mrs. Hen thorn were also there to help. Q Did you see Gaines on that day? A Yes, we saw him coming up the street. My husband said, 'I wonder what that Ingalls wants,' aud we went out the back door into the yard. Q What did you see? A I saw Gaines coming from the back of the lot with my brothar Tom (Tom Robbins). Mother was out cutting corn for the cow. She went up to Gaines and said, 'What have you got my boy, for? Where's your warrant? He re plied, 'Go to with your warrant,' Q What then? A She pushed him back with one hand. She had a 6hort piece of rubber hose in her haud and Gaines jertted it away from her aud began hitting her over the head and back with it. Q How many times did he strike her? A I know he hit her at least three times. Q What did you do? a I picked up a stick and ran to where they were. Gaines struck at me with the hose. Q Were you going to hit him with the sties? A I expect I would if he hadn't struck me with tho hose. Q Why were you going to strike him? A To make him quit beating mother. Q Simply- to defend your mother. What then did you see? A Mr. Cruger started toward Gaines. B Did he have a wagon spoke? A No. Q What made him do this? A Because I was yelling, 'Don't strike mother, don't strike mother,' and Gaines wouldn't stop. Q What did your husband do? A He came down to where wo all were. 1 didn't see him strike Gaines, but I did see him start to run and Gaines after him. He followed him from the spring wagon where we were standing until Mr. Cruger got to the corner of the house. He was looking back to see if Gaines was following him, I suppose, when' he shot him. Q How far apart were they? A Not loss thnn 10 feet, C Did your husband fall immedi ately? A Yea, he fell right down and 1 ran to him. Irving (the child) came up and said '"Get up, papa." He was alive, but unconscious. Q Did you see any other officers? A De Wilkerson and Art Wellman came around there and Wellman Baid, "What's the matter here? What's ail this racket about?" I replied, "Oh, they've killed my dear husband." Art Wellman said, "It's good enough for him. He ought to have been killed. The whole family ought to nave been killed." (.Continued on ihirU Pate.J FOR MARCH 10. Republican Convention to Elect Del egates to Be Held at Wichita Then. Chairman Cy Leland of the Republi can state central committee worked the committee in the interest of his candidacy for national committeeman at its meeting last night. By a vote of 18 to 17 the state cen tral committee voted in favor of Chairman Eelaad's scheme for an early convention to keep down the fight which is being inaugurated on him out over the state. In accordance with this plan the committee decided to hold the state convention to elect delegates to the Republican national convention March 10 at Wichita. The following members of the com mittee voted for Cy Leland's scheme: T. S. Stover of Iola, assistant secretary of state; George A. Clark of Junction City, secretary of the state board of char ities; A. L, Green of Newton, T. J. Hayes, steward of the Oawatomine insane asylum; L. Cram of Oswego, Mr. Le land's political side partner; J. S. Skin ner of Winfleld, W. S, Kenyon of Jetmore, Johu Kelly of Wichita, T. A. Hubbard of Rome, S. M. Fox of Manhattan, adjutant sreneral of the state militia; C. Leland "Boas", K. E. Wilcock son, of the 6tate board of charities; J uimfjsuu, sioiB rauroaa commissioner: baugb, president of the state board of charitii 8; J. F. Getty of Kansas City, Kan sas; and N. M. Lee of St. Marys. Those voting against Chairman Le land s early convention scheme were J M. Chisham of Atchison; W. E. Sterne Topeka; J. J. Cox, Lawrence; J. m! Humphrey Fort Scott; J. A. Moscher, BellvUle; Geo. Huyche, Ellsworth; J. C Posthlewaite, Jewell; Geo. H. Burr, Sr. John; M. M. Beck, Hoi ton; J. R. Sedgwick, McDonald; T. C. Raney Anthony; J. R Tomlinson, Minneapolis' A. J. Burns, Meade: T. A. Scales, Liberal; B. H. Bunu, Rush Centre: R, M. Wright, Dodge Citj', and J. L. Senior of Waverly. It is charged that Chairman Leiaud was particularly anxious to have the state convention early, so that it would be im possible for the committee in the First district to call their convention first. When the question of the time for holding the state convention was brought up, J. M. Chisham of Atchison offered a motion naming April 30 as the date of the convention. Chairman Leland refused to put Mr. Chisham's motion, saying he wanted all the members to vote for the date they wanted and said he wanted the conven tion held March 10. W. E. Sterne favored the April date and said he wae opposed to a rush con vention which would not give the com mittee time to call primaries aud elect delegates: He said there had been a good doal of talk. about a cut, and dried convection and if this March 10 scheme is worked through the people will be justified in saying the talk is not ground less. Let April oO be named and thereby suit the people. The question was then argued by other members of the ceramittee, and at the suggestion of Chairman Leland an informal ballot was taken, which result ed as follows: March 10, 9 votes; March JO. 10 votes; April 2, 6 votes; April 15, voles; April SO, 3 votes. After stillmore discussion there was a cah for a regular ballot, and Chairman Leland called to his friends to vote solid ly for March 10. The result was a vic tory for Leland by one vote. The ballot stood: March 10, 18 votes; March 19, 8 votes; April J 5, 9 votes. Chairman Leland said he wanted March 10 because that was the day to be selected for the Ohio state convention to be held, and Kansas could elect McKin ley delegates and send Ohio greetings to her convention.

Senator Baker's Body Blow De livered at Kansas. The Subject of Adverse Com ment Among the Kansans Who Really Strive to Represent Their State IN HALLS OF CONGRESS. While Baker May Ba Sincere in His Beliefs, He Is False to the People Who Sent Him AS A REPRESENTATIVE To Legislate According to Their Ideas, Found in the Gold Camp With the State's Enemies. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, Feb. 5. Senator Ba ker's vote on the free silver substitute for the house bond bJll is the subject of considerable quiet comment among tha Kansas contingent in Washington. They wonder how his opposition to tha coin age of silver, as shown in his voles, will be received by his constituents. The spectacle was presented of a senator from Ktusas, where the sentiment oi tne people is unmistakably favorable to sil ver, voting with the east against the west; with gold men and upholders of the policy of President Cleveland and against the Republican senators from the western states. This Is an nnu3ual eight, a senator separating himself from those who rep resent western interests and western ideas and going into the company of the exponents and defenders of Wall street, men whose mission is to antagonize and straugle the interests of the west. And yet Senator Baiter a votes on the Lund bill and the ditferent amendments to it were the same us those of John Sher man, IJaVia li. II ill, Uormau, tray, Hon:, Morrill and Vilas. There is no douui Senator Baker was perfectly sincere ia hia vote nod do one wonld accuse lti;n of being untrue to his convictions, but how he can reconcile his action Willi lha sen timent and interests of the state h is supposed to le representing is1 some-. tning tnav it is aimcuit lor tnuse wuo ar watching the progress of events to un derstand. West of a line dividing the Lmtcd States north and south and coinciding with the eastern line of Kansas Senator Baker was the only senator but one who vo ed with the gold men against the tree coinage substitute. Ths other one was Senator Thurston of Nebraska. These two are the only senators of tne whole west to vote against their own sec tion and with the, insolent east. If the line were put even farther east to the Mississippi river there were only lour more senators wno voted witu tua gold men these were Nelson and Davis of Minnesota ad Gear aud Allison of Iowa. It seems therefore a trifle odd that a senator chosen to represent a western state should go over into the camp of those who have always been ready to profit at the expense of western interests. Not until lately has the west had tho numbers and power to defend herself, but since the cnance has come it is con sidered unfortunate for Kansas and for Kansas Republicanism that the only Kansas Republican in the higher branch of congress should desert his brethren of the west and their fight for its interests. It is infelicitous that Kansas should thui be put out of joint with the element wtitch is now iu control in the senate and which will grow stronger from now on. There can be no doubt, however, that Senator Baker has severed himself com pletely from the silver cause aud that he is not in favor With the silver man who are now controlling the United States senate. While the vote was being taken on the free silver substitute for the bond bill, he made a feeble attempt to havo bis' amendment providing for the coioage of tha American product only, considered, but his efforts showed that he was fa r more successful iu attracting attention when he raised his feet in the senate than when he raised his -oice. Oaly his half heartedness and the fact that be was a new senator kept him from receiving a rebuke such as was administered to Seua tor Lotlge of Massachusetts who also urged the amendment, but in a more vig orous way. Senator Lodge sought to load the bill down with a bond provision for coast de fenses. Senator Teller moved to lay the amendment on the table, and it was car ried with such emphasis and rush that even the pugnacious senator from Mas sachusetts was squelched Senator Baker's votes on the different amendments io the substitute as well as on its final passage show that Ue was in favor of killing the free coinage provi sion. On the Populistic amendment of Senator Allen of Nebraska ho voted aye with Senator Hill and some others who desired to fasten it on the bill so it couid not pass. On the motion ot Senator Ger man to table the bill and thus effectually dispose of it he voted aye along with Gorman, Hill, Gray, Vilas and the otticr Cleveland financiers. On the amend ment of Senator Morrill of Vermont, providing that the seigniorage on the coinage' of silver be retained by the United States to the extent of the differ ence between the coinage value and the commercial value of the bullion, which meant in effect gold monometallism. Senator Baker voted aye. Ou the fiee. silver substitute and on the final passaje Mr. Baker voted no. Earlv in the discussion ot these amend i Continued on Fifth fae-J

STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 5, 1896. 2 "A. P. A." FIGHT. Exciting Debate in the House Over Appropriations. Money for Episcopal and Catho lic Institutions Not Allowed. ELOQUENT I1ENDEESOX The Iowa Representative Takes a Liberal View. Mr. Hainer Makes a Hasty and Indignant Reply. Washixgtos-, Feb. 5. The House spent the most. of the day debating-a series of amendments offered by Mr. Hainer, Republican, of Nebraska, to strike from the District of Columbia appropriation bill the appropriations for private and sectarian institutions of charity in the district, and place the money proposed to be appropriated for them at the disposal of the board of children's guardians. Much feeling was engendered and at times the de bate grew quite exciting. The appro priations for six religious and charita ble institutions, one Episcopal and five Catholic, were stricken out, but the amendments to strike out the appro priations for other private institutions, including- the Young- Women's Chris tian home, the Hope and Help Mis sion, etc., were defeated. Mr. Henderson, Republican, of Iowa made an eloquent speech against one of Mr. Hainer's amendments which frequently evoked applause. "If I were a Catholic," said he, "which I am not; it I were an A. P. A., which I am not; if the thunders of the Vatican or the inquisition of Spain or any other secret cabal tried to chain my lips, I would speak out because I be lieve it is my duty. The amend ment offered by the g-entleman from Nebraska," said he, "strikes with an iron band orphans and insults these God-anointed institutions which care for these little children. (Loud applause.) Gentlemen of the American Congress, when I see a helpless child not cared for on the ground, and a kindly woman, whether in the white g-arb or cowl, or whether infidelity has stooped down to lift it up, God give me a conscience that will keep me from looking to see whether he or she is doing it under the cross or under the cresent. My warrant for sanction ing such an act was planted here in my breast, not by priest, not by oath bound associations, but by my Maker and mother." (Loud applause.) Mr. Hainer made an indignant re ply to Mr. Henderson. He declared that he was not a Catholic, nor a mem ber of any secret order. His sole pur pose, he affirmed, was to turn the money appropriated for public charity over to a public board, in order that it might be under public control. Mr. Hainer then move I to strike out the next appropriation of $5, 00 for the maintenance of children at the St. Ann's Infant asylum. This was a Catholic institution, and Mr. Bartlett, Democrat of New York, in opposing the amendment, declared that it was the anti-Catholic sentiment the spirit of the A. P. A. that was ruling the deliberations of the House. He called attention to the fact that Mr. Hainer made no opposition to the ap propriation for the Washington hos pital for foundlings, a private institu tion. The debate was prolonged and at times quite exciting. The Hainer motion was adopted 93 to 25. While the vote was being taken Mr. Crain (Democrat) of Texas, who was opposing it, called out: "I rejoice in the courage of the Republicans and regret the cowardice of the Demo crats." Mr. Williams, Democrat, of Mis sissippi then arraigned Mr. Hainer and the majority of the House for the illogical manner in which it had voted to retain some appropriations and had rejected others. He was in sympathy with the old Democratic doctrine that public money should not be appro priated for private purposes, and when Mr. Hainer announced his platform yesterday, he thought another Daniel had come to judgment. But he had refrained at the outset from making his motion regarding the appropria tion for a temporary home for ex-sol-diera and sailors. There were votes behind that. But when Catholic insti tutions had been reached the motions had been renewed. Perhaps there were some practical A. P. A. politics in it. He asked why Mr. Hainer bad not moved to strike out the appropria tion for the Women's Christian Asso ciation. j Mr. Hainer replied that the question illustrated the calibre and high water mark of the gentleman from Missis sippi. He denied Mr. Williams' right to question him, but said he recognized the temper of the House, and was only in favor ot striking out appropriations for sectarian institutions. "Why did you not move to strike out the appropriation for the Women's Christian Temperance association?" asked Mr. Williams. "Because it is not sectarian. "It is," replied Mr. Williams; "no Jew nor Catholic can become a mem ber of it" Mr. Milnes, Republican, of Michi gan suddenly put an end to the strug gle by moving to adjourn. His motion was carried 10U to 80 and at 5 o'clock the House adjourned. Campos Hissed at Madrid. Madrid, Feb. 5. Martinez Campos has arrived here. The crowd in the streets hissed him on his arrival. A S3.000 Fire at Alma, Kansas. Alma, Kan., Feb. 5. The two frame store buildings owned by H. G. Rich ter and'occupied by L. W.

Nicholson, one of the proprietors of the New Orleans Picay fuia, diea suddenly, FAB WELL CO'S MOIiTUAGE Ilave Until September 1, 1S97 to Pay 880O,000. Chicago, Feb. 5.

CONGRESS OF REPUBLICS. Plana for Holding: the Great Convention Are Taking Form, Wasdixgtos, Feb. 5. The move ment initiated by the government of Ecuador for the holding of a congress of representatives of all the republics of the Americas to define and indorse the Monroe doctrine and to establish other commercial and political rela tions between them is rapidly taking form. The following are the fundamental points which will be submitted to the deliberations of this assembly: The enactment of a public law of America, which, paying due respect to all legitimate, rights, should give to the American Monroe doctrine, all the extent that it desires, and all the guarantee necessary to enforce its re spect. Means of promoting progress and the introduction and development of industrial enterprise, of developing commerce by enacting measures con ducive to its extension without preju dice to the interests and welfare of each country, and to the rights and relations from country to country; and of taking advantage of everything which without doing injury to the other countries of the world, may af ford our Republics proper means to place upon a firm basis their commer cial relations and to secure their greatest prosperity. To appoint the time and place where the Congress should hold its future sessions. As unfortunately some differences exist at present between some Ameri can Republics, owing to special facts of ancient origin, as, for instance, the demarkation of limits, the assembly shall not in any manner or form occupy itself in dealing with these matters, as otherwise serious diffi culties might arise, and the beneficent labor to be expected from the assembly might be frustrated. The general scope ot the labors of the assembly having been set forth, the assembly shall be left at liberty to decide how long it shall remain in session. The capital of the Mexican republic is suggested as the place where the first meeting of the assembly should be held. August 10 of the present year is also suggested as the date of the first meeting. The government of Ecuador has ac credited a minister plenipotentiary near the Wasnington government, who has been given instructions to facilitate the meeting of this assem bly. In a communication addressed to the secretary bf state of the United States, on November 16, 1895, the fol lowing language was used: "The ef forts which the representative of Ecuador must preferably make shall be in the line of extending the polit ical and commercial relations between the two countries and endeavoring to secure for the interests of this conti nent, through an international con gress, all the force of cohesion which is required for the mutual prosperity and for the greatness of the nations of the new world."

There was an excit ing time yesterday about the sewer they are digging on North Market street. It all began with the finding of two or three brass buttons in the upturned soil. They had evidently belonged to the uni form of one of the British soldiers of the days before the revolution. They were quickly sold by their first finders for 25 cents and a half dollar apiece. More were found, and seme ancient gold coins, somebody said, had been dug up by the workmen. There was a rush to the spot. Bids ran high, and one lucky Fp3culator sold a 50-cent lot for $2.50. Ihat set the crowd wild, and had not a policeman from the mar ket squad appeared on the scene just then there would have been trouble, so anxious was each in the crowd to get first chaoce at clawing over the dirt.

No other metals occur in any of the ores in quantities of commercial value. The ores often consist simply of country rock, either eruptive materials or granite, containing secondary quartz and associated materials, instead of, as in many gold fields, consisting of well defined bodies of these materials. A characteristic ore of this district is an intimately mixed mass of quartz and fiuorite, prominent on accouut of its bril liant purple color." KANSAS MAN'S VIEW.

Harvard Preachers and Others Take np I ho Color Line. Boston, Feb, 5. The incident of the relusal of three leading Boston hotels to entertain Bishop Benjamin W. Aruett, of Wilberforce, Ohio, because of his color, had a sequai today iu the announcement of Rev. Samuel M. Crothers, university preacher of Harvard college, who was to address the South Middlesex Unitarian club, on "Tue Americanism" at its next meeting, that he declines to speak on the subject if the meeting of the club is held at a hotel in which the color line is drawn. This declination is prompted -by the fact that one of the hotels at which Bishop Arnett was refused accommoda tion is the usual meeting place of the club. Mr. Crothers has made known his sentiments to President A. M.

From .the Savannah News: A Rus sian steamer hailing from Odessa has for some time been engaged In the Mediterranean trade, principally carry ing pasesngers between Leghorn and Malaga. On one of the recent trips it encountered an adventure which will never be forgotten by either the crew or the passengers. The passage had been a stormy one, but the day of the occurrence was unusually fine. Though a rather heavy sea was running, most of the passengers were on deck. Sud denly the lookout called: "Hurricane cloud leaward." At once there was great consternation aboard and a num ber of people sought safety below. The captain, however, after glancing at the barometer, gave it as his opinion that it was no hurricane cloud. The black mass they saw hovering near the hori zon was, he thought, a particularly denee volume of smoke., from some steamer. But the solution of the mys tery came much sooner than they had expected. The threatening mass grew larger and larger, and soon was seen to bear down in tha direction of the vessel with terrific speed. Everybody, both crew and passengers, became frightened at the mysterious cloud, which seemed to move with great rap idity, notwithstanding that a perfect calm prevailed. Then came the solu tion. The vast cloud they had seen was composed of swallows. The fore runners, a small detachment of some .10,000, swooped down on the deck, to the bewilderment of the people on board. These were soon followed, not by thousands, but by hundreds of thousands. The birds literally over whelmed the vessel. The man at the wheel lost his bearings, and the wild est disorder prevailed. The birds poured into every available opening, hatchways, windows and everywhere else. They got tangled in the ropas and sails and clustered about the rigging. Even the smokestack was so filled up one time that the fires were nearly ex tinguished. The most amazing part of the whole thing was that the birds did not evince any disposition to leave. To heighten the confup'"i the steamer had got out of its coui and ran ashore. However, on accou of going very slowly, no material nage was done, though the passengers were badly frightened. When tie crew had recov ered from their amazement, they began to clear the deck and the vessel in gen eral of these unexpected and not at all welcome guests. The captain ordered the men to use shovels and whatever else they could to throw the birds over board. After getting fairly in shape the vessel proceedea on its voyage, hav ing been delayed for eight hours on ac count of this singular experience. The captain could not offer any theory as to where this vast army of swallows came from. All he said was that the birds were exhausted from a long flight dur ing the storm of the previous day and sought rest on his vessel. He Wasn't Afraid. "When I wad holding up trains ia Ne vada," began City Attorney Creswell, "to collect the railroad taxes being district attorney of the county through which it ran I had to assist me as brave a man as I ever knew. He would think nothing of walking right up into the muzzle of a gun and peeping down the barrel. "A passenger train came in and we seized it. I ordered the engineer and fireman out of the cab and put my as sistant in, with instructions to hold it. The whole town was out to see the hold up and, with the passengers from the train, crowded around and poked fun at us. Suddenly the engineer shouted to my man in the cab that the water was about out of the boiler and would blow up in a minute or two. "He glanced at the water gauge and seeing no water in the glass looked about him in an uneasy way for a mo ment and then commenced climbing out of the cab. He started to walk away in a slow, dignified stride but his step kept getting quicker till at last he broke into a run. The crowd jeered him but he only ran the faster till he was out of danger. 'Look here, Jim,' said I, 'I thought you were afraid of nothing." 'Well, I don't feel a blamed bit skeery on my account, he replied, very deliberately, 'but somehow or other I couldn't hold my legs down. They were just determined to do some fast work an' I couldn't stop 'em.' San Francisco Post. Mistook Wis Occnpation. Baron Rothschild ne day entered an old curiosity shop to buy some paintings. The dealer brought out his rare old pictures, dusted them and set them in the best light. "Look at this Rembrandt, quite authentic, M. le baron." "Authentic, you say? You have got there a Raphael of the first style, which is a good deal more au thentic." "Oh! oh!" said the dealer, "why, you are a connoisseur, M. le baron." "IV observed Rothschild, with a sigh; "if I had gone into the old curiosity business I should have a fortune." A Man of Letters Gone. Rev. Dr. S.

I must be candid, however, and say that the powers of the legal authorities are very limited in this territory, there is absolutely not a word upon our statute books making it a crime to be engaged in prize fighting in this territory, aud we can only depend upon the laws with re gard to breaches of the peace.

Atchison and Topeka especially that my candidacy would meet with most favorable consideration, I am profoundly grateful to my friends for their promised assistance, but I do not desjre the office. The discussion in tbe newspapers of my proposed candidacy has been without my consent. I have never intimated that I wnuted to succeed Senator Peffer. I retired voluntarily from the .chief justiceship to devote my time and services to my profession. I consider that office as honorable and re sponsible as a United States senatorship. When I laid down my duties as chief justice I decided not to engage again in any contest for office. I have had enough. I am fully satisfied. I have given eighteen years of ray life to pub lic service at great personal sacrifice. Now 1 prefer to remain a private citizen. I have a lucrative law practice, and have neither the time nor inclination to run for office. This decision is final." COUNCIL UKOVE ANGRY Because Governor Morrill Pardons a Law breaker Lawfully Convicted. Council Grove is all torn np because Governor Morrill pardoned J. N. Barber, a notorious jointistof that town ten days ago. Barber, who keeps a hotel, was twice tried and convicted in ttoe district court of selling liquor. The court of appeals affirmed the decision of the district court. January 22 a petition signed by ten citizens of Council Grove was presented to Governor Morrill asking that Barber bo pardoned. The governor said he would write to the county attorney about Barber's case. The petitioners pleaded that that would only stir up a muss and the man ought to be pardoned without any trouble and the governor "gave iu" and signed the pardon without investi gation. Barber had been sentenced to pay a fine of $200 and serve 60 days in the county jail, but by the governor's pardon he was released on the payment of the costs of the case. The petition for the pardon was signed by C. S. Kelly, caBhier Morris County State bank; J. M. Hensen, ex Mayor A. J. Marks, transfer and bus line; W. H. White, president Farmers' and Drovers bank; W. J. JIc George, live stock dealer; U.K. Riehter, mayor; W. P. Snamleffur, postmaster; C. M. lieese, grocer, and N Trawbridge, "farmacist."

A douMe suicide, which shocked Paris the other day, brought to the at tention of the public the financial straits in which, it is said, the majority of the physicians of that city live, says the New York World. Dr. Arnaud de Langlard, an old physician, who had been decorated by the government for brave conduct during the cholera epi demic many years ago, committed sui cide with his wife because his practice had dwindled to the vanishing point and starvation was staring them in the face. In commenting upon the trag edy several newspapers asserted that in Paris not more than one doctor our of five is able to make more than the barest living. Among the causes of this poverty among physicians is the destitution of most of their patients. Medical science has made great strides, too, that maladies of all sorts are more quickly cured, and such precautions are taken to prevent the spread of con tagious diseases that epidemics are be coming practically unknown. The num ber of doctors, on the other hand, has rapidly increased. Another reason why there is not practice enough to go round is that in many of the hospitals people can be iroated for nothing or at a very nominal figure. Many of these hospi tals have trained schools, which are free, in which are taught tl rudiments of medicine and surgery. These schools are largely attended and many sick people are taken in hand at their own homes by some member of the family who has profited by this in struction. Mother, I&ave You a Baby.

A No. Q Did you see Cruder strike at Gaines? A Yes. Q Did he strike at him with a stick, or piece of iron? A I don't know. Gaines threw up his arm and knocked the lick off. Q Did it knock Gaines down. A No. It did not. O, How far had Gaines chased Cruger belore he shot, him? A About fifty feer. Q Was Cruger making any motions as if to strike Gaines, or doing anything except trying to escape? A Not anything. Q Did you see any powder marks on Cruger's face? A No. Mr. Hite cross examined. He ques tioned tho witness sharply in regard to her testimony before the coroner's jury, but she each time replied she did not know what she had testified to. "I was so excited I didn't know what I was doing." she said. Q Did you see Cruger hit Gaines? A No. Q What did Gaines do? A lie threw up his arm. Q Then you saw Cruger strike him? A No, 1 did not. 1 saw him strike at him. Q Was Gaines still when he shot? A Yes, sir. Q How did he hold the pistol? A With both hands. Tom Uobbius, 17 years of age, was called. Q Did you know Gaines? A No. Q Did you know ho was an officer? A No. Q What did he do? A He came to the stable where I was working and took hold of me. I went with him and he said after we had gone about ten feet that he was going to take me. Q Did he exhibit any warrant? A No, sir. Hobbins then told of his relatives in terfering and of his jerking away from Gaines and escaping, while the police man was beating his mother with the hose. Cross examination by Mr. Vance. Q Where were you on the Saturday preceding this killing? A In Wabaunsee county with my brother. Q I will ask you who saw you out there? A Oh, 1 saw lots of people, but I didn't know any of them. I never had conversations with any body. Q Didn't you talk to this man Schrib er? (Pointing to Mr. Schriber.) A Not that I recollect of. O, What did you say to Gainea when he started off with you? A Nothing. Q What did Gainea say to you? A Nothing. Q Where did you go after you got away? A 1 went to my sister's on Second Btreet. I stayed there until Wednesday afternoon when I went to Kansas City. t2 Didn't you know you were wanted Tuesday before the coroner's jury? A No. Q You knew they were hunting for you. Why didu't you appear? A I wanted to keep out of Gaines' way. Q-Why? A I didn't know but we'd get into trouble and he'd shoot me. I supposed he had a likeness fur killing people. Robbius was evasive and Mr, Vance secured answers with the utmost dif ficulty. He did not impress anyone with his truthfulness. The stories told by Mrs. Cruger, Miss Lillie Hobbins and Tom Robbins corresponded closely in every minute detail. There was not the drffarence in detail that is usually ob served when several persons see the same things from different standpoints. Pictures of the house and surround ings and architect's maps of the same were used in explanation of the events. The first witneass 011 th9 stand this morning was ex-Coroner F. AV. Bailey. Q- WThere was the bullet wound in Cruger's head? A On the right side of the head, two inches in front of the ear and on a level with it. Q Did you take the range of the bul iet at that time? A No, not at that time. Q What did you see on the ground in the back yard? A I saw blood stains on the ground. There were lots of pieces of iron and sticss lying around. The yard was lit tered np. Q Did you see this piece of gas pipe? A Yes, or one similar. Q Did you subsequently probe this wound? A Yes; I located the bullet under the skid on the other side of the head. It had gone through both sides of the skull. It ranged backward and upward. Cj Were there any powder marks? A There were not. Dr. Hibben and I failed to find any. Q Did you see any marks on Mrs. Rotbins at the inquest? A There was a discolored place three or four inches square on the shoulder. It was evidently made by a blow. Q I will ask if you gave orders not to allow the family or friends of Mr. Cruger to see him? A 1 did not. Mr. Welch cross-examined: Q Would not a bullet ranging as this one did miss the nerve centers of the brain? A It would. Death was caused by hemorrhage of the brain. This would cause immediate paralysis of the limbs and body. Q Is it not easier for the skin of an old person to become discolored from a blow? A Yes. Q Might this discoloration not have bean made by something other than a blow? A It had every appearance of being made by a blow. Q Might it not have been made by a pinch? A Oh, it might, poBsibly. Dr. J. B. Hibben's name was not in dorsed on the information, and therefore was not competent to testify, but the de-. fense insisted on his testifying and the county attorney consented to use him. He located the point of entrance two inches above the right ear and exit of the bullet the same as the coroner. Q Did you notice whether there were auv powder marks? A No. The object of asking about the powder marks is to prove that Cruger was not close to Gaines when he was shot, but trying to run out of his way. Mrs. Cynthia Hobbins, the mother of Mrs. Cruger, has lived in Kansas City ever since the tragedy. She was the next witness. Q Did you push Gaines back? A I did. I astted him where his war rant was. He said, "Go to h with your warrant." Q Did you hit him with the hose? A I expect I tried to. He grabbed it out of my hand and hit me three or four times, the first time on the right shoulder and tae next in the left. side. 1 don't know where he hit me after that Q Did you see Mr. Cruger strike Gaines? A 1 did not. Q Did you see Gaines fall? lie did not fall. O. Did he drop to his hands or knees? A No, sir, he did not. Q Did you see Gaines shoot? A Yes, he followed Mr. Cruger to the house, took his pistol from his right hip pocket and shot. Q Did you see Cruger at that time? A Yes. ie never moved a stop. Q Did Gaines say anything as he started after Cruger? A He said, "You son of a gun," or "You I don't know which. "I'll get you." Q Did you exhibit the places where you were struck, at the coroner's in quest? A I showed the place on my shoul der. Cross-examination by Welch: Q What did you ask for a warrant for? A I thought officers always carried warrants. Q That's the way they'd always done when they came after the other boys, was it? A That don't make any difference in this trial. Q So you picked up this hose to help you ask for the warrant? A I thought I'd try to get Tom away from him. Q Where were you when Cruger and Gaines started tu run? A standing there by both of them. Q Where were you when the shot was fired? A Six or eight feet may be from Gaines. Q How did you get there? A I don't know how I got there. Q Isn't it a fact that all this racket took place right there by the weii? A No, it is not, Q Will you explain to the jury how you can remember everything Gaines did aud can't remember what Cruger did? A Well. I had my back to Cruger. Extracts were read from Mrs. Hobbins' testimony before the coroner which dis agreed with her present evidence. She said if she testified to it she didn't know what she was talking about. Mrs. W. H. Henthorn, 1423 North Harrison street, Bobbins and Cruger homes, fied next. lives at near the She testi- Q Did you see Gaines with Tom Houbms? A Yes. I saw them at the wagon, half-way back to the barn. Mrs. Hob bins came up with some corn in her arms, dropped it, and picked up a piece of hose. She is left-handed, and draw back as if to strike Gaines with it. He jerked it out of her hand. Q Did you see any throwing? A Yes. The women were all throw ing, but there was nothing large iu the air. Gaines seemed to turn all his at tention to fighting the women, then, and cracked tbe hose around him. Cruger ran to the crowd and threw up his arm as if to ward the blows off the women. Then he stepped back behind the women and picked up something. He jumped forward and poised this iu the air a mo ment as if to take good aim. Then at the instant that he struck the blow he started to run. Gaines ran after him. Q What did he do with this thing he hit him with? A I don't know. He had nothing in his hand aa he ran toward the kitchen window, where I was standing. As he pointed it in the air it looked like a piece of iron hoop, but this iron gas pipe was the only thing I could tin J which looked like it. Q How far did Cruger run? A I should say about fifty feet. I thought he was coming in the kitchen door, and ran to get a child out of tnere who was standing in the door. At that instant I heard the report of the gun and the thud of the body almost simulta neously. Q Did you see Gaines when he fired? A No, but I saw him almost imme diately afterwards. He stood erect with his right arm straight out holding the pistol. Q What then did he do? A He looked kind of sideways at tbe murdered man and then walked bade over the ground he had run after Mr. Cruger. and back to the alley. Q Was Cruger running toward Gainea or away from him when he shot? A Ob, away from him. Q Did Gainea fall when Cruger struck him? A No. Q Did he fall down or partially down or stagger any time during the fight at the wagon? A -No, sir,- he did not. Mr. Welch cross-examined. Q -How long have you lived in To peka? A Twenty-four years. Q Was your husband once arrested for gelling liquor? A He was. O, Did he not blame Gaines for that arrest? A AVhy. na I don't think he did. Mr. Welch followed this at length, bat failed to elicit anything satisfactory to the defense. Q Then you persist in calling this a murder? A Why, I have certainly always thought of it as such. Q Did you not testify at the coroner's inquest that this wagon was only 35 feet from the pump? A Yes, I did. (The witness tried to explain how it happened, but Mr, Welch refused to listen.) Q Did you hear Gaines Bwear? A I only beard him use one oath, as he started after Cruger he yelled, 'I'll fix you,' and just as he stopped to shoot he said, 'You G d son of a gun. Q How soon did he shoot? A Almost as quick as ha said the last word. Q Did you see Crdger run past the open kitchen door? A Yes. Q When was that in reference to tbe shot? A Just before the shot. Q Didn't you eay to De Wilkerson ana Art Wellman afterward that you first heard the shot and then saw Cruger run past the door? A i don't think I did. It certainly wasn't in my mind that way. Mre. Henthorn is an eldarly lady and was an excellent witness. Her answers were clear cut aud decisive and her mem ory good. Her story was the best by far that has been told bfthe killing. The gas pipe which she identified is a small oue about 18 inches long. MRS. W iLUE DEAD. Oscar Wiltlo's Mother Expires at Her liome in London. London, Feb. 5.

The effect of pedigree is a great puz lie, because careful attention to it secm3 to refine some families without in the least refining othei a dozen castes in India are equally old and careful of descent, yet only the Brahmins and Kshetreyas are clearly aristocrats but if there is any truth in heredity tho cescendants of the reigning houses, once compelled to exert themselves, should be men and women of special force. Those houses have kept at tho top of the world for nearly a thousand years. The objection that they have inter married too much, even if it is true, which is doubtful, except where some taint has entered the blocd, would dis appear in two generations of plebeian marriages and the consciousness of an cestry does not of necessity weaken character.

For Kansas: Generally warmer in northwest portion tonight; warmer Thursday; variable winds. So it seems that Major Anderson Is to rake the Leland chestnuts oat of the fire. Three times has the United States senate passed a free coinage bill within the past six years. The Republican house is now in a po sition to make a record. If it does not take up and pass the senate silver bill, who will be held responsible for the fail ure of congress to enact legislation for the relief of the country? The earthquake reported this week wad probably but the vibrations caused by the aigb.3 of relief which went up from various, presidential candidates at the news that Benjamin Harrison waa positively out of the race. A bill has been favorably reported in the senate granting a pension of 20) a month to the widow of AValter Q. Gresham and one of $100 a month to the widow of General ThomaB Ewing. The difference made in the two pensions seems to indicate that the services per formed for his country by Judge Gresh am were ju3t twice as valuable as those of General Ewing and that the services of each were much mora valuable than tUo9e of the common soldier who gave up his life on the field of battle. We are doing our best to build up an aristocracy and if we don't succeed it will not be the Jault of congress. Pome of the Republican senators who voted for the silver substitute for the house bond bill last Saturday seem to think they have been trapped, Their language in regard to the action of the committee on the house emergency tar iff bill indicates that they did not vote for the free coinage measure so much for its own sake as they did in the hope that their course would win votes for the tariff bill. They now seem to think that a job has been put up on them to defeat the tariff bilL One cannot help regretting that the new senator from South Carolina, the successor of gentlemen of character and ability should thus throw away his op portunity and all probability of influence and standing in Washington and before the country, as he has done by this speech. He cannot hereafter expect to be taken seriously in anything he may say, or to be counted as above the level of a slang whanging buffoon and dema gogue. Such a speech may amuse the senate and the country, but more of the same sort will only bore both. Spring field (Maes.) Republican. There will be more, many more, "of the same sort" of senators as Ben Till man In the senate before long if the gold conspiracy is not broken up pretty soon and the gold conspirators put to flight. Old Granny Massachusetts with her money bag will cease to pooh, pooh" and turn to flee. The west and south will soon all be armed with pitchforks or something worse. The Chicago Times -Herald gives the following outline of what may happen: It is possible that by the establish ment of a silver party and the conse quent drain to it from both the chief par ties no candidate would receive a major ity of the electoral votes. In that event the election of president would be devolved upon the house of representatives and the election of vice president on the senate. In the house the vote ia taken by itates, each state having one vote, to be cast by a majority of the congressmen from the state. As there are now forty five states it would take twenty-three votes to elect a president, who must be chosen from the three highest who have received electoral votes. Inasmuch as the Republican party controls at least thirty-two of the states, it is easy to see that the Republican candidate would be elected president. As to the vice presidency the result might be different, for the senate is obliged to elect to that office one of the two highest that have received the votes of the electoral colleges. The senate does "not vote by states, but each member for himself, and as a majority of that body ia in favor of free silver there is little doubt that it would choose the candidate most inclined to that view. All this is apparently remote, and yet it is something to be considered in the coming presidential campaign. GOLDBUG BAKER. Under the caption "Goldbug Baker of Kansas" Senator Stewart's paper, the Silver Knight, after reviewing his speech in an extended editorial article, addresses the people of this state as fol lows: We call the particular attention of the people of Kansas that Mr. Baker is the first senator who ever represented that state who was not for the free and unlim ited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 by the United States alone. Ingalls and Plumb who served that state so long with such eminent ability, were fore most in the racks of those who favored the restoration of the money of the con stitution by the free and unlimited coin age of silver by the United States acting independently, and at the ratio of 36 to 1. Senator Peffer, the successor of Mr. Ingalls, has been from the time he took his seat an earnest, intelligent and able advocate of the coinage of both gold and silver at the established ratio by the United States alone. Senator Martin, who took the place of Mr. Plumb, spoke and voted for the free and unlimit ed coinage of silver at every opportunity which offered him. But Mr. Baker is for free coinage after parity shall have been secured. Plumb, Ingalls, Martin and Peffer have all favored free coinage to produce parity. Baker is in favor of gold alone to produce disparity and as signs the disparity thus produced as the reason why he is opposed to the free coinage of silver. The remainder of the article indicates that the Silver Knight regards Senator Baker as reflecting the sentiments of the Republicans of Kansas, but in this it is greatly mistaken. The State Journal is urging the nomination of Judge S. R. Peters of Newton for chief justice of the supreme court. While Judge Peters will doubt less decline to think of this or any other oifice, the News only expresses the opin ion of the people of western Kansas that if he will take the place they are for him. Hutchinson News. This is the News' little joke. If Judge Peters is "urged" much harder the way the Journal is urging him, he will fall over the edge of the earth. Thomas D. Fitzpatrick, candidate for delegate from the Fifth district to the Republican national convention, grew up in Topeka and was educated at Wash burn college. CHARITY HOCK PJtE. Able-bodied Male Applicants for Churity Will Be Given Work and Libor Chscki Beginning today able-bodied men who want to live off the county will be given a chance to earn what they get; Those who are willing to quarry and break stone, need not suffer fur want of some thing to eat. Those who ask Poor Commissioner Hale for help will be given an order on the superintendent of the stone quarry near the fair grounds to be put to work. The county has had one man at work there all the time and he will bs ad vanced to overseer. He will give each person who works a check for the amount he earns which he can cash in to Mr. Hale for food. As Commissioner Hale is not running his business for profit, he wiil let the laborers have provision at cost. This will make a day's work keep a man in provisions for two or three days. Part of the stone which is quarried will be used at the county rock pile by jail prisoners and part will be broken by the poor people. For this the county will probably allow forty cents worth of food for each yard. TORQUATO TASSO. Lore Had Turned Ills Brain A Widely Celebrated Poet. Tasso was beyond question the most celebrated poet in a day of immortals, says the Quarterly Review. His epic had found an audience before it waa finished, wherever the Italian language was studied or spoken. Queen Eliza beth, as though neither Shakespeare nor Spenser had begun "to live with the eternity of her fame," desired In Tasso's rhymes to be remembered, and envied the Estian princes. His genius and sufferings, perhaps not without a suspicion that love had turned his brain, were known at Paris and in the court at Greenwich. But Montaigne, who re published his "Essays" in 1582, speaks of having seen him at Ferrara, "en si piteux estat, suivant a soy mesme, meg cognoissant et soy et ses ouvrages, les queles, sans, son seen, et toutesfois, a sa veue, on a mis en lumieres, incorri gez, et informes." It waa too true. From the sale of his poem the author did not receive one single scudo. Worse still, as if it had been a property dere lict, editors, not asking leave nor with Tasso's revision before them, flung themselves upon it "ubicorpus, ibl aquilae congregantur"; they published each his own version at Venice, Parma, Mantua, and in the same year no less than eight editions saw the light. Of these the first, published in Venice by Celio di Malespini a brigand who well deserved his name was literally stolen; but, as Cherbuiiez remarks, had Celio not committed this robbery, we might never have seen the original poem. Febo Bonna alone had Tasso's assist ance during his publication. But the long battle with Silvio proves that, even in the earlier stages of his mental dis order, the poet would have kept to the first design. It was not until weakness grew upon him that he changed the personages, hardened the outlines and added the fierce strokes which make the "Conquistata" both a gloomy and a morbid legend of untempered zeal. The world has passed judgment on this at tempt to deface a noble work. When the "Conquistata" came out, some few read, and fewer applauded. The last good edition is dated 1593, and only the curious are aware that it contains a description, so detailed as to seem prophetic, of the calamities which just two centuries later were to overwhelm the house of Bourbon, or that, on ac count of what was deemed an insult to Henry IV., the parliament of Paris or dered these verses to be erased from all the editions, which, in Franca accord ingly was done. AS A GREAT NATION. We Have Left Undone Things We Ought to Do. THIS IS THE YIEW OF COHGEESSMAS J. e. Cannon The VprMslly or Liberal Appropriations Looking at a Wider Field-More Moncjr P Capita. Washington, Feb. 3. Hon. Joseph D. Cannon was in a delightfully social end reminiscent mood when I called on him the other evening at the Norman die, and having just come in from his regular late afternoon spin on the bi cycle he was aglow -with vivacity and good humor. "I confess to being an old man at last," he said, "and, like other old men, my thoughts turn oftener to the scenes of my youth, and I love to meet eiDme one from the old neighbor hood and bear how the boys and girls of 1850-60 have turned out." I may be permitted to add that in the days he re ferred to his father was known to our folks, borrowing a term from Scripture, as the beloved physician. He was drowned while returning late at night from a professional call, so in the local memory his position was something like that of a martyr, and tears sometimes shone in the eyes of those who told of his good qualities and sad fate. Air. Cannon talked at great length of his classmates in the Bloomingdale Quaker HON. JOSEPH G. CANNOT. eehool of early days on the Wabash, "when around Annapolis a man wasn't in style unless he had an ague cake;" of the great antislavery fight made by his Quaker friends and relatives, and of tho developments of his own political side since tho memorable day when he sat under the stand at Rockviile and heard the first great speech of O. P. Morton, then candidate for governor, opening the hot campaign of 1856. Finally, however, ho got on to what he calls the philosophy of budgets and gave his views as to the principles which should govern the committee on appropriations. With much else he said "The true question for the people to ask is not, 'Do we pay more taxes than we did?' bnt, 'Is what we pay honestly and economically expended:' If yes, then they should be willing to pay more, for just now this nation can earn and save very many dollars by the proper expenditure of one. To state it bluntly, the United States has reached that point where it must assume a new and far higher and more commanding place among the nations. Providence has im posed on us the suzerainty cf this west ern continent, and we cannot abdicate our function. If wo try to do so, it will be ranch the worso for us. All history shows that a nation, in order to live, must go on developing, and any nation that withdraws its energies and con tracts them within its own boundaries is certain to become like China or worso. A nation liko this is not at liberty to sit back at selfish ease and disregard the claims of tho weak. We have a duty too plain to be mistaken. And here comes in the great question of an efficient navy and coast defenses, and herein is mado evident the truth that parsimony is not economy. Need of a Navy. "What is your idea as to immediate action?" "I wonld have them all, both navy and defenses, brought to a very high state of efficiency not for war, but to prevent war. Under Arthur we began to build a navy, and though wo have been ridiculously slow we have made a very handsome start. We have ravy enough to give ns some standing, but, what is of far more importance, we have learned how to build a navy and have got the plant to do it and the men who under stand the business, and if we don't go ahead now it will be nothing less than criminal negligence. It is to strengthen the diplomatic arm that we want these things. One dollar in preparation-will save very many which would otherwise be expended in war. The embassador who speaks with a good navy behind him is listened to. I want to say, how ever, that while I am not criticising any others our man at Constantinople is in a condition of unusual embarrass ment, and so far he appears to have done his duty well. "Embassadors, however, are not tho most important. In fact, I sometimes think that in these days of interconti nental telegraphs and rapid transporta tion we might do better with special envoys than resident embassadors. It is the consular service that wa need to de velop. I am almost afraid to say how far I would go in that line if I could have my way and how much money I would spend in establishing a world wide consular service on a new or at any rate a far more thorough and com prehensive system. We should indeed we must have it renovated from top to bottom. Not that it isn't pretty good now, bnt we want a system far better and more comprehensive than that of any of the older nations, and we want it put under a far more rigid system of civil service. There should be a first class man of business in every great eeaBQit and foreign, city, and that xnan I ehonTd'roRko fcfmselFf ami liar with "all the details of business in his district. What do the people of that country want, and how able are they to bey it! He should be able to answer these ques tions at a minute's notice. Need of More Foreign Trade. "Did yon ever figure out how little has really been done by the great na tions in foreign trade compared with what might be done? Why, the world contains 1,500,000,000 people and only about 400,000,COO of them can really manufacture for themselves. Now, all these uncivilized or not entirely civiliz ed people who are using only $2 or $3 worth each yearly of manufactures ought to use 20 times as much. To civilize them is merely to stimulate their de sires and develop their capaoity to pay. Look at the 'vast tropical regions of Spanish America, where they produce almost nothing to compete with us and need almost everything that we can manufacture cheaply. Why, we ought to sell those people $3,000,000 or 4, 000,000 worth of stuff in a little while, even if we supplied them with nothing but household conveniences and farm implements in which we beat the world, and do it easily. Now what has all this, you will say, got to do with my committee? Why, I would select the very best men who could be got for the places, put them in all important cen ters there and have them make it their life business to serve this oountry in commercial lines, and to get the right kind of men we muEt pay them. This country doesn't want cheap men to do its work. We want the best, and, by the blessing of God, we eaa afford to pay for them. "I sometimes smile when I think of the protests against increased cost and the pledges of retrenchment and then of the way circumstances have forced us into a wider field. Take the history of my committer, and it illustrates it beau tifully. The constitution, you know, re quires that all bills for raising money must originate in the house, and, while it does not say that bills for spending money must, yet the reason of the thing carried it, and so for the first 76 years the ways and means committee made the appropriation bills. Early in 1865, how ever, Thad Stevens carried a measure for a separate committee on appropriations, and as he had been chairman of the ways and means he elected to follow the ap propriations and was the first chairman in the Thirty-ninth congress. The com mittee had all the 13 bills till Randall had his great fight with Speaker Carlisle and our Bill Morrison, then chairman of the ways and means. Of course it was taken for granted they wanted to curtail Randall's power, as he was a protectionist. At any rate, they took from the committee seven bills and gave control of them to the special commit tees having the special subjects in charge, and now we have exclusive con trol of hut six bills. Paying and Getting "A great reform; was it? Well, we have more work to do than the commit tee once had with all the billd, and as wo necessarily have a sort of supervision over the seven bills brought in by the other committees, on account of defi ciencies coming in, we can measure tho advance with precision from year to year. It is destiny that is forcing us along the path toward higher functions and greatly enlarged national activities. And why not, if the money is properly expended? Contrast our old neighbor hood in 1850 and now. Taxes then were perhaps 50 cents on $100, bnt what did we get for it? Courts and jails Now the taxes are three times as high and on five or ten times as much prop erty, but look what the citizen gets for his money the finest system of gravel roads in the world, with splendid bridges over the river and all the creeks at every important place the finest school system in the country, a system that has been taken as a model by many new states and even by tho District of Columbia, and a hundred other things. Here Mr. Cannon told several anecdoto3 about the mud roads of his early days and laughed most heartily at the recol lection. "Why, tho citizen gets twice or three times as much for each dollar paid in taxes as in 1850. Now it is perfectly practicable that the United States should do the same, for, though it is a govern ment of limited powers, within its sphere it is supreme. That gives ns all the power we want as to navy and coast defenses South Africa and the islands near to us, the Nicaragua canal and all the rest and I am very decidedly for a bold and vigorous policy, believing that to be far more economical in the end. Mr. Cannon directed me to many cu rious and interesting points in the rec ords of the committee on appropriations, and by the courtesy of the chief clerk, Mr. James CJ. Courts, I was enabled to pass a very pleasant afternoon in the Burvey. It is an odd fact, by the way, that this Committee has had but two chief clerks in the 31 years of its exist ence. The first was Robert J. Stevens of California, who held continuously for 18 years, and was succeeded by Mr. Courts of Tennessee, who has held for 12 years aa chief and had previously been Mr. Stovens' assistant, for 6 years. The latter was a Republican, and Mr. Courts is a Iemocrat, civil service rules having hold from the start in this com mittee. Thad Stevens, as aforesaid, was the first chairman, and was followed in turn by Washburn of Illinois, Dawes of Massachusetts and Garfield of Ohio. Then came the political revolution of 1874, and the Democratic chairmen were Randall, Holman and J. D. C. Atkins of Tennessee. Frank Hiscock, Republican, followed, then Randall again, then Cannon in the Fifty-first, Holman in the Fifty-second, Sayers of Texas in the Fifty-third and Cannon again in the present house. He has been on the committee for 14 years, having started with th8 Forty-sixth congress, but lost his seat in the Fifty-second. J. H. Esadle. Weighty Responsibilities Endanger. It's curious that the floating debt of a corporation often sinks it.-Philadelphia North American, A TERRIBLE MACHINE. Victor 6c hs, Political Prisoner, Claims a Startling Invention. HAS AN AERIAL MACHINE WHICH, lie Says, Can Fly 300 Miles Pr Hour Wants $35,000,000 lor It Impris oned for Stri viag to Forn a New Re pnbliein Hcxieo. In the Kings county (N. Y.) peniten tiary is confined a man who claims that he has invented an aerial machine proved by many tests to be perfect in every re spect. He has written to.President Cleve land and the secretary of the interior, Hoke Smith, asking them to see that the government gives it a trial, and, if satis factory, that the government purchase the right to manufacture the machine. For this right he asks the modest sum of $25, 000,000. This man in Victor It. Ochs. He is 85 years old, and he is a prisoner for endeav oring to create a revolution in Mexico about a year ago. He is of medium height, well built, and finely educated, apparent ly, speaking French, German and Spanish with much fluency. By birth he is a Mex ican, but soon after he was born his par ents settled in Texas, and ho is an Ameri can citizen. "I began my experiments," said he, "in El Paso, Tex. I earned my living by publishing a small newspaper in the Italian language. But I spent little time in my office; I was too interested in the experi ments I was conducting. These were made in my own house. No one lived with me, and I took no one into my confidence. In fact, I was never a great hand at making friends, and therefore was not bothered by tho inquisitive. Often I worked all night long, and got no sleep the next day be cause of my newspaper work. My experi ments were not inexpensive. Indeed, as I began to see the end they cost me many dollars. "I took tho machine back to my El Paso house, and a short time later I decided to go personally to the patent office at Wash ington and get my machine patented. I had started for the capital when a sheriff arrested me and claimed the reward of $30,000, which the United States and Mex ico bad set on my head. I was tried on a charge of attempting to cause a revolution in Mexico and injuring the interests of America in that country. I was convicted and sentenced to three years in the peni tentiary. The prisons in that part of the country were full, so I was sent hore. I want the United States government to take up my invention purely and simply because of the money there would be in it for me. I charge $25,000,000 for it, and I want to state right here that I will not sell it for one cent less than that amount. If tho government will give it one fair, impartial trial, it is all I ask, for I am confident thatsuoh a trial will be convinc ing. If the government will not give it a fair trial, I'll sell it to some other country. "Of what use would the machine be to the government? It would be of so much use that in the event of war it could be used with about 80 times the deadly effect of a battleship. The machine is construct ed so that it will carry two pounds to ev ery one of its own weight. High explo sives in any quantity can be carried in it, and you or any one else can see in a min ute how they could be used in warfare. Tho machine can be built of any size, and it is so simple that a child almost could manage it. One can bo built in three months. Put a largo force of men at work, and you can build enough to put a stop to a war in short time. The machine will move at a velocity of 300 miles an hour. That is the limit. You can cause it to go as slowly as you choose. It is provided with a steering apparatus, to which it an swers with wondorful obedience. It can bo propelled as high a3 you like, and if you want to be within a foot of the ground it is just as easy. The cost of the machine I decline to state, for reason of my own. You can say this: That I nm not making this move to regain my liberty. I don't want my liberty. What I want is tho Unit ed States to take up my invention, and I think it will. Where is the machine now? It is in safe hands. I won't say where un til I got my patont or the government comes to an understanding with me." Just how the machine is built Ochs de clines to say. He refuses to say also of what it is composed, but it ia supposed at the penitentiary that it is built of a com position resem bling papier macho. It is ex tremely light, so Ochs says. Tho motor power, he gays, is an invention of his own, and ho refuses to tell what it is. He de nies that it is electricity. The machine is replete with air tight compartments, and in the bow is an observation tower, with steps leading to it from the passenger compartment. Ochs has a remarkable history. Ho and others were of the opinion that President Diaz was not treating the Mexicans as they deserved, and ho gathered men with a view of forcing the republic to give up a portion of its land. This he intended to j form into a soparate republic. Something j might have come of the scheme but for j tho arrest of Ochs.' New York Recorder. Snperatitions of Today. Cecil Rhodes has the powerful jaw and tho strong teeth that belong to men of his typo. So great has been the luck of this man that South Africans sometimes ask him to bite sixpences for luck. A young Englishman during a recent evening in Bohemia produced the traditional crooked sixpence from his pocket and told how Cecil Rhodes had bitten it. The possessor would not part with it for many times its value. Everybody laughed at the super stition; but, ns it turned out, nearly every man present had some such fetich. Neither he of the crooked sixpence nor any of his companions quite believed in the effioacy of his charm, but each liked to dally with the superstition. New York Sun.

i- STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 5, 1S96 7 M .f fj t THE AX FALLS IN TOPEKA Three Hundred Employes at the Santa Fe Shops Dismissed YOCSJA OD UFHiHRIED EES Mostiy Are Srleelod, In Order t Wake tbeUrdtaiia Lieii I'onsible One II and red and Fitty Have Only Been in IneCompany Employ Four Iontbs. President E. P. Ripley's ax of economy tf.ii n .n4 a 1 r Qft.t V, men, employes of the Santa Fe shops, are thrown out of employment When the large whistle at the machine shop announces at 5 o'clock this evening that the work of the day is at ao ei.tl, it will also sound a farewell to 200 em ployes of the car shops and 100 employes of the locomotive department. The reduction is made under the direction of the different foremen, no es pecial rules being observed with the ex ception that the men dropped are to be the youngest in point of service, and that a preference is to be given to married men. The car department includes the car penter shops, paint shop), piauing mill and repair yards. The larost portion of the two hundred men will be taken from the repair yards, as over one hundred and fifty men have been added in tnat part of the service since last October. All branches of the machine shops, the roundhouse and water service compose the locomotive department, and the one hundred men will probably be drawn proportionately from the different lines of service. At present there are J 55 J men employed in the Santa Fe Shops in this city. Tomorrow there wiil bo only 1250 menat work. Tho three hundred men d!sch2rged will receive payment for tneir ser vices during the five davs of this month in the shape of discharge checks at the office of the superintendent of ma chinery this evening. Their wages for the month of January will be paid at the treasurer's office in the general office building tomorrow. This reduction was decided upon by President Ripley iu conference with General Manager Frey and Superinten dent of Machinery John Player while on their tour of inspection, and the order wired to Topeka. Such a move has been expected since the new management as sumed control of the road, as President Ripley stated some time ago that the present earnings of the road were inade quate to meet the expenses, and reduc tions in the working force were absolute ly necessary. Whether the cut -will be temporary or permanent depends upon the future business of the road. Should a profitable market be found for the' thousands of bushels of corn stored in this sta!p,increasing the freight traffic which at present is extremely light, the force would necessarily have to be increased to maintain the standard of the rolling stock. On tho conlrary, ahouid freight traffic remain as light as at present for any length of time, further reduction might possibly b9 made. j A reduction in the shop force has also been ordered on the Chicago and west ern divisions of the. roaj, which also takes effect at 5 o'clock this evening. In comparison, however, to the cut made at the Topeka shops, the reduction is slight. Thirty men are to be taken from each division. On the western division tea men wiil be drawn from each of the three shops located at Pueblo, Denver, and Ia Junta. On the Chicago division the shops are located at a number of dif ferent points, and the cat will hardly be perceptible. Reductions in the working lores at other division points where hops are located are looked for within the next few davs. WILL BE REAUT FEB. 15. The New Santa Fa Mapltal at Topkn Aluy 1-3 Opened TIiod. The new Santa Fe hospital in this city is fast nearing completion, and Chief burgeon Geo. V. llogeboom now believes that it will be ready for occupancy by February 15. The large blocks of stone to be used in the construction of the front entrance have arrived, after a delay in the order of several mouths, and will be placed in position at ones. When the steps are completed the exterior work on the hos pital will be finished. The work of fitting the interior of the building with water pipes, steam and hot air pipes and electrical appliances has been entirely completed. The painters are the only workmen now engaged on the interior of the hospital. The offices of chief surgeon and super intendent of hospitals will be moved from the general offices to the hospital building as soon as it is completed. The dispensary in charge of Drs. Gibson and Egleston, at present located at Fourth and Washington streets, will also be moved to the new building. MECHANICAL AND OrEHATIXO. Pergonal and Items Among- the Em ploye of tbo Easini and Train Service. Brakeman H. A. May of the Santa Fee has taken a ten days lay off. Santa Fe Engineer Irving Wellman of this city, in charge of engine 13, has been assigned a thirty days passenger run on the Howard brunch. Santa Fe Brakeman J. W. Tweedale has taken a leave of absence and is vis iting in Humboldt, Kansas. There are now three brakemen running on local freight trains 42 and 43, between Topeka and Emporia, an extra man hav ing been added on each tr;iin vosterdav. Heavy consolidated Richmond engine 817, after a thorough overhauling and repairing in the Santa Fe shops iu this city, has been sent to Raton, ieir Mexico, for passenger service out of that point. Joseph Phillips, a nephew of Superin tendent of Machinery John Player, who for the past three years has been em ployed in the decorating denartment of the Santa Fe shops in this city, has been transferred to the Sonora shops in old Mexico. William Doyle, for the past three years decorator in the Santa Fe paint shops in this city, has been promoted to the position of foreman of the Santa Fe paint shops at San Marcial, N. M.

The Santa Fe is preparing to com mence salt to test the constitutionality of law pasted by the last session of the legislature, which gave the right to western- Kansas counties to levy a tax to af ford Drotection Bt?ain&t oraiiie fires. I The Santa Fe paid this tax in Ness, Rush, .Lane, fceagwick and bcott counties unaer protest, and the suit is now to be brought to secure the refunding of an aggregate of about $3,000. It is expected the suit will be filed in Scott county. BIXEl'S DOUBLE BILL. An Old Favorite Kftnrnf to Topeka After Some Years Absence, If Manager Crawford continues to bring attractions like Salvioi and Hnery E. Dixey to Topeka, he can depend on large audiences. This city never fails to give a suitable reception to the playB brought here. If the show doesn't de serve an audience it doesn't get one and if it does, the audience is there. It is better to have the opera house dark half the time and make money when it is opened than to have it open all the time with poor entertainments and lose money. Dixey in the "Lottery of Love" will be welcomed by a large audience, possibly as lrga as tne Salviui one. Mr. Dixey gives two pieces, a curtain raiser, which is the last act of his "Seven Ages" bur lesque and afterwards the comedy, "Lottery of Love." This year Mr. Dixey has broken away from burlesque aud has takeu up legiti mate comedy in the Eame line with Ro land Rsed, Nat Goodwin and others. He has had a long and successful tour and the people of this city will ba glad to welcome him again after an absence of several years. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS.

He said to the 'Frisco people that, in the event of the separation of that road from the Santa Fe system, he was pre pared to use his own money and his mother's in the construction of a certain branch and aux iliary line, which would give St. Louis an entrance into central Texas by a route many mites shorter than the present routes.

TO PUSH MATTERS AT ONCE Commercial Club is Organized and Ac iion Taken FOR FALL FEST1YAL AHD ESUSI01 Meet Ins of the Commercial Club and tne Committee of Fifteen Tomorrow Tbe Fall Festival to Be tne Order ofSuainessat tUeCommercialClub'a Mntisg oh Wedneidsr Sexf. The Commercial club is now fully or ganized, with twenty-nine members. This was completed at last night's meet ing. At the first regular meeting of the club, next Wednesday evening, the subject will be "The Fall Festival." A committee was appointed at the meeting of the club last week to meet with the citizens' committee of fifteen on reunion, appointed at the mass meeting at the court house. The committee of fifteen failed to get a quorum, and Chair man D. J. Greenwald of the Commercial club committee reported the fact. The committee was then continued to meet with the committee of fifteen tomorrow evening. F. O. Popenoe said in speaking of the work of the committee and the club: "We should have representatives at the meet ing of the citizen's committee and find out what their plans are, so it may be de termined what we Bhould do toward the sucsess of the festival There have been suggestions that we should take charge of the arrangements, but it seems to me that it is more than we should undertake now though we should by all means co operate and do all we can to make the festival a success." President W II. Davis said: "I cannot believe that the festival is too large an undertaking fur the club. I do not like to see the club infringe upon the rights of the citizens' committee or act as if we wanted to take the matter out of their hands, but I feel that we should not be backward about taking hold of this mat ter." Samuel T. Howe said: "I think that this committee should be continued and the citizens' committee should be in formed that we stand ready to co-operate with them." Mr. Popenoe then moved that, "The Fall Festival" should be made the spe cial order at the next meeting of the ciub when plans shall be outlined concerning the action to be taken by the Commer cial club with reference to the fall fes tival. This motion was carried without opposition. J. L. Dunham said: "This a very im portant matter. I am satisfied that this citizens' committee would say 'take the festival and run it.' It is my opion that while the club should take an active part it should not assume the responsibility for the whole. A per manent committee should be appoint ed and our president should be at its head and this committee should look after the interests of the club in the ar rangements for the festival. I think that the festival should be in charge of a citizens' committee and when they go out to raise money it can not be said that this is a Commercial club scheme." Samuel T. Howe said: "We should do all wo canto co-operate with the citi zens' committee aud make the festival a success." D. J. Greenwald said: "It is my opinion that we should take a very active part in this matter." J. P. Davis said: "I am inclined to take a hopeful view of this matter. 1 think that we will get the reunion next fall, but if we do not, we should have the fes tival just the same. It seems to me that we should give this citizens' committee our strongest co-operation in this mat ter." F. P. MacL9nnan said: "We should start out with the idea that we will have the festival next fall. Of course we want the reunion, but we must have the festi val. The people out over the state are expecting it and they have made up their minds to come to Topeka. We must have one of the biggest times Kansas has ever known. I am glad the subject of this festival has been made a special order for the next meeting and hope that something wiil then be done that will crystallize into action," Mr. Dunham thought that one of the first things the club should do is to get permanent quarters. Mr. J. P. Davis said that he felt that the success of the ciub is assured and rooms should ba secured as soon as possible. It was de. cided to do something toward selecting rooms at tne next meeting of the ciub. The following new members were ad mitted last night: E. H. Crosby, George W. Crane. Charles Adams of the Mills Adams Co., A. A. Godard, Colonel A. 8. Johnson, Otto Kouhne, E. W. Poindex ter, E. Wilder, Major J. K. Hudson, Hal W. Neiswanger. K0IIT11 TOPEKA.

Concluded from First Page. ment3 to the bond bill Mr. Baker indicat ed in a conversation that this was the course he would take, but he justified it then on tbe ground that being opposed to the issue of any kind of bonds he could consistently vote against a free coinage amendment. The free coinage amendment however, proved to be a substitute which struck out all the bond provisions, so Mr. Baker would not have had to vote for any bonds. The eastern gold men are no doubt greatly gratified and surprised to have a recruit from the silver section, but the desertion of one who would naturally be of their number does not please the western Republican senators. Senator Baker's course raises the ques tion whether a public officer should vote his individual opinion or the well known sentiment of his constituents, end many are looking with interest to see what the decision of the people on this question will be. M. F. M. A CIAIM FOE $7,000. Introduced by Congressman Miller In XSehalf of a Wyandotte Indian. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, Feb. 5. Representative Miller has introduced in the house the claim of Mary Walker, a Wyandotte In dian, for $7,000. She is the widow of Isaiah Walker, who was also a Wyan dotte. The money is to reimburse the widow for property of which it is said her husband was wrongfully deprived. Pricr to the treaty between the United States and the Wyandotte Indians, ap proved March first, eighteen hundred and fifty-five, a ferry was maintained for the benefit of the Wyandotte ludians across the Kansas river. It was provided ia the treaty that the ferry with its right3 and privileges to gether with four acres of land on the north Bide of the Kansas river, should be sold at auction to the highest bidder for cash. Walker purchased it paying the sum of seven thousand dollars cash. Parties owning the lands adjoining the ferry tract procured a ferry charter from the territorial legislature of Kan sas, and in the courts succeeded in de feating said Isaiah Walker in the use of his rights and privileges, making his purchase valueless. BKODERICK'3 ANTI-TRAMP LAVI Which Applies Only in the Indian Ter ritory. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, Feb. 0. Representative Broderick has introduced a biil in the house which reorganizes the whole ju dicial system of the Indian Territory. The system has been very loose and in adequate and the judiciary committee assigned to Mr. Broderick the task of drafting the biil which was referred aftsr its introduction' to the judicial committee. The bill is very complete and is de signed to check the lawlessness which ha3 been so prevalent in that country. For this purpose additional judges are provided for and additional marshals who shall have power to appoint as many deputy marshals as shall be deemed necessary for the enforcement of law. One section of the bill is devoted to tramps and their usual mode of trans porting themselves from one point to another. If the law should pass and be enforced it will make "bumming" difficult and unsatisfactory. The section provides that any person who shall board any railway train in tho Indian Territory, whether moving or standing, having no lawful business thereon and not intend ing in good faith to become a passenger thereon, but with intent to obtain a free ride on such train, however short the distance, shall be guilty of a misde meanor, and shall be punished by a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $100, or by imprisonment not exceeding six months, or by both such fine and impris onment. PEFFEB ALSO DAB ISLES IN PENSIONS No Kansm Statesman Can Escape the Overwhelming- Pressure. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, Feb. 5. A bill will shortly be introduced by Senator Pefier to make a certain class of pensioners who have recently been dropped from the pension roll eligible to the list. These are ex-Confederates who were taken prisoners and upon certain promises of loyally were released and entered the service of the Union army. It was a frequent occurrence during the war that Confederates who were taken prisoners afterwards enlisted in the Federal army and were faithful sol diers. Many of this class now resident in Kansas had been drawing pensions, but when the present administration came in it discovered that there was no law justifying such pensions, and being ever ready to cut down the pension list, this class of pensioners was cut off. Senator Peffer recently had this state of affairs brought to his attention by a letter signed by three ex-Confederates who had served in the Union army under the conditions before described, and he gave it to Senator Hawley to have the matter looked into. Senator Hawley mislaid the letter, and Senator Peffer has no means of knowing who the men were who wrote, and cannot, as his invariable custym is, answer their letter, but he w-ill attend to their case in the bill which he will soon introduce. STANLEY FAYOKS AMERICA Says Olney was Kight In tbe Vene zuelan Controversy. Nkw York, Feb. 5. Henry M. Stan ley, the African explorer, now a member of British parliament, has written a letter to Major J. B. Pond, of this city, touching the Venezuelan question. In the course of it he says: Now, on this Venezuelan question, 1 am entirely on tha side of America, but I must ad mit I am not surprised that the Eng lish papers backed up Salis bury and differ from me. Taught by the virulent remarks of your journals, I had, of course, devoted much time to understand it, whereas English editors were exceedingly ill informed.

I wo Ways ty Which These Passages May Be Successfully Conquered. To make "studies" of difficult meas ures in a composition is as of innch val ue as "etudes" in general. We need not have such a long list of "etudes" if we seek inside each thing wo study for a difficult passage and enlarging it make it useful as a means as well as an end. There are two ways of helping one to conquer a passage first, by enlarge ment; second, by change of position. The second seems almost contained in the first, yet it is distinct. We can see clearly now by taking scales and arpeg gios and showing how not only they are at tho bottom of passage work, but how their formation leads us to the thought that single passages can be developed in like manner and serve a purpose. Let us take first extension or enlarge ment. A cne octave scale is but an en largement of two or three or four notes. A two octave scale is but an enlargement of a one octave scale. And so on. An arpeggio having within itself the inter vals within the octave is an enlargement of two or three notes, which themselves are alterations of a scale. Two octaves of the same are but an extension of one octave. Now, of course one octave is harder to play than three notes, two oc taves harder than one octave. And so on. Before applying this, let us take the change of position. A passage is easy at center of piano, difficult at both ex tremes, and of medium difficulty be tween the extremes and center. Then, applying both, we say in singling out a measure of difficulty the easiest and best direct way of conquering it is to take that one measure and continue it that is, play it in one octave, then in two octaves, and, indeed, from one end of the piano to the other. This brings with it, of course, change of position, but, as was said, this is really distinct, and tho author of the foregoing says in The Etude Therefore play a high pas sage higher; play a high passage low; play a low passage lower play a low passage high also the passages which lie between may be played in other po sitions. We may also say that what is played in tho right hand can be better controlled if learned also with the left hand, and vice versa. But this brings with it such a train of difficulties not necessary that it can hardly be supported so strongly as the singling out of a pas sage and enlarging it or changing its po sition in order to "bound" or surround one's grasp of the execution of the meas ures elected. It is well known that one can play a passage better as it .stands if that pas sage has been conquered on all sides. Superfluous Hairs. Sufferers from superfluous hairs are often much exercised in their minds as to what to use on their face in order to keep it smooth and clear, especially when it is inclined to become rough as so many skins are inclined to do any thing of a greasy nature naturally hav ing a tenrjency to increase the growth, but they, will find that a judicious use of lemon and milk, used each time after washing, will go a long way toward hindering the advent of pimples and keeping the skin in that condition which they wish it to attain. In mixing this very simple application it only requires a quarter of a pint of milk, less rather than more, and the juice of a whole lemon. This mixture will keep good if well corked down for two or perhaps three days but, if it is possible to do so, it is far better to mix it fresh every day. Hsrvelons Remits. From a lettter written by Kev. J. Gun derman, of Dimondale, Mich.,we are per mitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery as the results were al most marvelous in the case of my wife.

Terrible paroxbnn of coughing would last hours with little in terruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them.

So many times this season has this tine dancing rendezvous been beautifully decorated that it would be quite appro priate to refer to it as a progressive dec orative contest. In this case last night's decorations would score high. The green of many palma was relieved last evening by pink aud white. The draperies were white; the lamps pink shaded, and above the especially pictuesque setting of the stage the white drapery was veiled in soft pink 'aud cov ered with tinsel. The stags was divided into refresh ment and music rooms and screened by a pretty and effective arrangement of palms and Cowers. In the center a handsome stand held a bowl of pi nk and white carifatious. From this stand suiilax was festooned to twe marble statues each of which heid a pink shaded lamp. On the table was an elaborately wrought ceuterpiece in embroidered carnations and point lace, and a vase of pink and white curnatious.

In Which the Rough Haokabaclc Towel ins; Flays an Important Fart. Huckaback toweling is not associ ated, as a rule, with fancy work, and yet this rough material affords a capital substance upon which several kinds of embroidery can be wrought. Examine a piece of good huckaback toweling, and yon will discover that the weaving is sufficiently regular to insnre the pattern being taken as a guide for designs. The huckaback takes kindly to cross stitch, which, if a good design .is select ed, gives effective results. Huokaback work best known consists in embroider ing the ends of towels in cross stitch, and when properly done with cotton that will wash these towels bear the wear and tear of the laundry unusually well. Large, bold designs are the best for tow els and over towels are pretty embroid ered on huckaback and yon will find them quite easy to work. Griffins, con ventional flowers, geometrical patterns, Greek fret and arabesques are all very good for this purpose. Elaborate designs, such as include Cowers and other objects to be shaded, require to have the pattern traced on the toweiing. Of course transfer paper may j be employed, and as many ladies uso transfers it may be helpful in this con nection to tell them, first, that they must not U3 too hot an iron, and, sec ond, that it is necessary to iron on a hard surface if you want to take off a good impression. Table centers and sideboard cloths can be prettily worked in huckaback, and bedspreads as well. Flax threads are good for huckaback work, and so are any KTAB PATTERN IS HUCKABACK WORK. kinds of embroidery cottons that wash well. Although huckaback itself is such "a very ordinary material, yon can glorify it very much by working upon it in silks, and this has often a very charm ing result. A novel and pretty way of embroider ing in huckaback much affected by Eng lish women employs a design of a con ventional star. This is first of all work ed in plait stitch in two shades of red washing filoselle. This stitch is worked by bringing up your needle a little be low the tip of a petal and putting it in just at the tip. Bring your needle out again at the sitieV'cf the stitch where it began and put it iu at the top in such a manner that the silk crosses in the cen ter. To do this, easily and well you should trace a line down the petal and work alternately from right to left and vice versa. Always bring your needle out a little at the side of the middle lino and at the right of it if the stitch is to go to the left and vice versa. Keep your silk over your needle and work 1 your stitches so closely that no spaces are seen between: A line of stem stitch or crewel stitch, which every one knows, is made round each petal in a contrast ing shade of the red. In the middle are French knots, which are worked thus: Hold your working thread down with your thumb close to the place where you first brought it out. Twist ii three times round your needle. Turn your needle round from left to right and pass it through the stuff close to wliere the working thread came out from then push your needle through and bring it out where the next stitch is intended to be. A cluster of these knots forms the center. The darned background is easily done. There are small threads at regu lar intervals in the weaving which are to be taken up on tho needle. Use a darning needle, and if you are darning in filoselle about three threads are enough. This example is darned in a darker shade of red. Always select the best quality of huckaback for this work. Alice Vabnum. Role For Creamed Hash. Mrs. Eorer's rule for creamed hash answers for all forms of tho more deli cate or white meat, such as veal, chicken or lamb. Chop sufficient cold cooked meat to make one pint. Put a table spoonful of butter aud one of flour in a saucexian. Rub butter and flour together, add half a pint of milk, stir constantly until it boils, add half a teaspoonful of salt and a saltspoou of pepper; then stir in carefully the' meat. Have ready squares of nicely toasted bread. Heap tho hash on these, cap each with a neat ly poached egg and serve at once. Cocoa Made With Water. The boiling of the milk, or the scald ing of tho milk, explains Mrs. Eorer, "destroys tho delicate flavor of the co coa. When it is made with water and served with cream, it is much more del icate and much more wholesome. Where milk is boiled, as it is in making cocoa, it frequently produces indigestion, fol lowed by headache, and for this reason this delicious food is given up by many persons who might use it perfectly well when made from water. Inexpensive, bat Pretty. The Household gives an illustrated description of a pretty garter that can be easily made and at a small cost. The elastic of the garter is run in between the puffing of two pieces of satin ribbon, a trifle a pretty sahter. wider than the elastic. This is edged with cream color lace and ornamented in front with a bow and ends of the satin ribbon. First published in the Topeka State Journal, February 5, 1890. Council Proceedings.

Delft China and Teacloth Embroidered ta Match Bodices Profusely Trimmed. Linseed oil Js 6n excellent preservative of wooden furniture, and French honso wives employ It largely. It is particularly good ns an application to oak, tho wood becoming harder and darker under its no tion. It also destroys woodworms, but on account of its darkening influence can not bo used for light furniture. The cloth for the 6 o'clock tea table is now embroidered to match the pattern of tho china used. Delft coloring and designs are at present most popular, but in order to be fully effective should be set off by a touch of yello or orange, such as may be supplied by a vase of daffodils or chrysan themums. Bodices aro more and more trimmed, if any increase in adornment is possible. This excess of ornamentation is permitted by the universal fashion of capes, which in turn are necessitated by tho largo 6leeves now in vogue and must endure as long as they do. Jackets are worn, but not so much as capes. The jacket is much liked for young girls, being simpler and less elaborate In BALL COSTUME, adornment, but they also wear capes, al though not richly adorned ones, the ma terial being cloth or velvet du nord and the ornamentation, if there ia any, being very slight. One of the newest collarettes consists of a double row of loops of ribbon, the outer loop shorter than the under, falling from the top of a high, plain collar. Another collar of black velvet has coques at the back, while the upper edge is crowned by a square collar of white linen stiff enough to stand out horizontally and looking very much as a college mortar board would if the wearor could pull it down over his head until it rested around his neck. An illustration is given of a ball cos tume. Tho court train is of moss green bengaline and opens over a skirt of pink satin, which has a deep flounco of old point headed by a band of blue fox. The train is lined with pink silk. The bodice is fit ted at the back and full in front, strings of pearls falling over tho fullness. The square decolletage is bordered with a band of blue fox. The bolt is of rose satin. The sortie de bal is of broche white and gold silk, lined with pink wadded satin, and has a full pelerine of old point. The collar is of white ostrich feathers and coques of pink satin ribbon. Bands of ribbon are carried down each side of the front and held at the corner by a cluster of plumes, from which fall a loop and end of ribbon. Judic Chollet.

Brothers Who Fell Oat About a Matri monial Arrangement- "The queerest feud I ever heard of," aaid M. C. Allen, the -well-known sportsman, to a Minneapolis Journal man, "is one that I encountered while hunting in southern Humboldt county. I noticed our guide carried a repeating rifle, a big revolver and a knife half as long as his leg. He proceeded with the greatest caution and appeared to be on guard continually. I knew there were no hostile Indians in that country and my curiosity was aroused. Finally I asked him what the trouble was. 'Oh, I yoost look out for some fel low, he replied in his Swedish dialect. 'What's the trouble, anyway?' I in quired. 'O nuttin' much. Maybe a big man mit a goon watch me pretty close, too. "'Who is he?' 'Oh, he is my brudder. Las' time I fix him plenty, you bet. He come back now und maybe he fix me.' "Inquiry developed the fact that the brothers had settled in Humboldt somo years ago and our guide, who was mar ried had left a pretty sister-in-law in Sweden. The brothers talked the mat ter over and finally agreed that the mar ried one should send for the girl, and when she reached this country he would give his old wife to his brother and take his sister-in-law. "The girl arrived in due time, but she was so much prettier than the unmar ried brother had expected that he was loath to accept his brother's cast-off wife. Finally he married the girl and then refused to compromise the breach of contract by paying what his brother had expended in getting her to this coast. A quarrel followed and the guide pinked his brother in the shoul der with a rifle ball and landed him in the hospital for three months. The other vowed vengeance and they do lit tle now but watch the mountain trails, fully prepared to renew hostilities at a second's noticei" Topeka to El Pjso and return for athletic contests, Santa Fe route.

At each corner was a tower and from these many a flag waved in the wind. A bridge connected the island with the river bank, and on bridge and tower and rampart a hundred sentinels kept guard and called to one another with hoarse voices. In tills castle lived a knight, a brave and famous fighter. Whenever he returned from victory, great wagons laden with booty rumbled over the bridge into the castle, the trumpets long the battlements blew fanfaral fanfaral and all the peo ple who dwelt along the river bank shook in their shoes. There were deep dungeons beneath the castle, and In them many prisoners were shut up. Every day these prisoners wero led out to work, some to keep the ramparts in repair, others to dig in the castle gar den. Amocg them was an old woman who was a sorceress. She had sworn to be revenged on the knight for his ill treat ment of her and waited year after year for her opportunity. One day as she was working in the gar den the knight came walking along and sat himaelf down on a bench. He was tired, for be hod just returned from a toil some campaign. So presently his eyes closed and he fell asleep. 1'bo old witch, who had been watching him, went to a bed of poppies, and gather ing some poppy seed in her band crept up to the knight. She scattered the poppy seed over his eyes to make him sleep the sounder, and then she took an aspen branch and struck him on tho breast over his heart. At onco his breast opened, so that you oould look iu and see his heart aU it lay there and beat. Then the old witch laughed an evil laugh, stretched out her bony arm, and with her hooked fingers drew out the knight's heart so quiotly that he never even stirred. Next she took a hare's heart, which she kept hiddon upon her cloak, put It into the breast and closed up the opening. Creeping away on tiptoe, &lio hid herself behind a clump of bushos to soe the effect of her wicked work. Tho knight was not long in finding out tho change the hare's heart was making in him. He began to shiver in his sleep and turn uneasily from side to side, for he, who had never known fenr, was begin ning to dream horribly. He woke with a shudder and sat up. His forehead was damp with sweat, and he felt as if his armor were crushing hini. Over the wall came the voices of his hounds barking In their kennels. Once he had delighted in the sound and dearly he had loved their deep baying as he followed them through the forest after the wild boar. But now he quaked from head to heel and fled out of the garden for his life. As he ran up the stairs to his room the clang of his ar mor, the jingle of his silver spurs, the clatter of his sword, possessed him with such torror that he tore them off, and, flinging them from him, sank upon his bed. Fear followed him even in his sleep. Night after night the challenge of his sentries upon the ramparts, the barking of his watch dogs in the court, kept him shuddering as ho lay on his bed, and he buried his face like a frightened child in the pillow. Night after night he wept to think that he was such a coward and paused in the midst of his tears to shudder and shake at the wind that sang around the castle roof, or the sound of the river as it lapped the foundation walla far be low. At length a body of his enemies took heart and came to besiege him in his cas tle. The knight's soldiers eyed their mas ter and waited for him to give the word and lead them forth. Tbey could not un derstand why he delayed. But he, whose heart had used to swell at the sound, When he heard the clash of arms, the shouts of men and the tramp of horses' hoofs, fled up and up to the topmost chamber of his castle and from there looked down upon the enemy's force. And when he remem bered his deed in time past his campaigns and combats and victories, he fell on his knees and olasped his hands together and cried out aloud "O God! give me back my courage. Give me the old strength and vigor of heart. Already my men have taken the field, and I, who used to lead them, now peer out upon the enemy, like a girl, through the highest loophole. Give my old self back to me and send me forth a man again." As he prayed he seemed to awake from a dream. He ran down to his chamber, buckled on his armor, leaped upon his horse and rode out at the castle gate. His 'soldiers shouted as ho came and sounded the trumpets. The knight spurred his horse and dashed forward with fury. But in his secret heart he was afraid, and when his men pressed after him and gal lantly .engaged the enemy, his fear grew and grew, and he turned and fled. Evan when he wus back in his fortress, safe behind the thick walls, the fear did not leave bim. He tottered down from his horse, ran to an inner chamber and there, juite unmanned, sat down and waited for a shameful death. But, as it happened, he was safo, for his men had turned tho foe and chased them off the field. The guards cheered as they roturnod victorious, and the trumpets sounded along the battlements. But when they came to looli for their chief, they found bim hiding, half dead, in a deep cellur. The unhappy knight did not live long after this. During the winter he tried to warm his limbs by the big fireside of his castle, but they shivered and shook all the time. When spring came, he would open his windows to the sunshine and fresh air, and one day a swallow that had built its nest under the eaves of the roof came swooping by and brushed the knight's face with its wing. As if struck by lightning the poor man fell down upon the ground and in a short while died. All his men mourned for their master, for they knew that nothing but enchant ment could have changed so good a knight. And about a year after, when some sorcer esses were undergoing the ordeal for keep ing off tho rain, one of them confessed that she hod stolen the knight's heart and put a hare's heart in its place. Then they un derstood why a man who had once been so bold had become so fearful, and dragging the witch to his grave they put her to death there. A. T. Quilier-Couch. Written Elpraislj For Him.
