The Murderer Pursued by the City Marshal and a Mob. HAYDEN DEFIES THEM. With a Gun He Holds the Crowd Back. Shots Interchanged and Hayden Wounded. HE MAKES HIS ESCAPE, And Is Last Seen in a Farmer's Barn. Valley Falls. Feb. 10. Mike Duffy, a white coal miner, was stabbed to death by Eph Hayden, a colored tough, on the main street of this place Saturday night during a drunken quarrel. Hayden made his escape after being pursued by a mob which tired several shots at him, wound ing him. Three men were also slightly wounded by Hayden during the chase. There are any number of accounts of the murder. Shortly before 9 o'clock Saturday eve ning Hayden was in Conaer's restauraut eating a piece oT pie when Duff7 came in. Both were intoxicated. Duify went to Hayden at the lunch counter, and, put ting his arm over his shoulders, engaged him in a drunken conversation. People who were in the restuarant Bay they heard Duffy say: "Eph, you are a pretty good man, but I'm the best man in this town and can whip anybody in it." "Wait till I eat this pie and' I'll show you," said Hayden. The talk continued and the men went outside tho door. There they made it up in some way and in a few seconds ware leaning up against the building with their hands on each other and joking goad naturedly. In a few minutes, however, the fight ing talk broke out afresh, and Duffy said: "If you'll put that knife up and come out into the alley I'll whip you before you find it out." Jake Huber and a man named Smith were in the crowd and say that Hayden had a pocket knife in his hand open in the position that one would hold a pair of shears. The men wrestled to the edge of the sidewalk and some way Duffy struck Hayden with hia fist. Duffv BaiJ: know you've got a knife there. Put it up." It was at about this point that Hayden thrust the knife viciously at Duffy and the blade entered his body i'.a full length lust aoove his lower right vest pocket Duffy never spoke afterward. He was bleeding and made an effort to get away. He backed out into the street about 50 feet, Haydeu following. Hayden then used his knife as a dag ger and plungad it into Duffy's left breast ju3t above the heart, and struck a!so at the side of his neck, evidently at the jugular vein. Hayden then ran to the middle of the street, and Duffy fell in front of Dr. inglanas office, iiayaen ran hack to him and jumped on the prostrate bodv beating it with his fist and kicking it with his shoe, raving like a madman and crying-, time after time: "Now you have you got enough? Say 'enough,' you." Smith, who is not more than eighteen or nineteen years oia, says he ran to Hayden and taking him by the shoulder Baid: "For God sake, Eph.; don't kill the man." With an oath and a threat Hayden turned on Smith and Smith ran. Hayden than ran north on the street toward his home and Duffy was carried into the Hillyer hotel where he died in a very few minutes without speaking or making any sign. Coroner 11. H.Johnson held the in quest at Casseday'a undertaking rooms Sunday morning. Immediately after the killing the streets were full of excited people and the city marshal, W. I. Fletcher, eather- ed up an armed mob of abjut fifty men ana opvs ana went to Hudon'j h..m. the northeast rart of town r,a.r n, Santa Fe track.

W hen he appeared at Senn's farm an hour later he was carrying a bullet in his leg, he said, and one hand had been wouaded. Hayden then fired his gun directly into the crowd. It was loaded with bird shot Paulson Of the Calf rf Will: fBeibleR xrnr siv nnr Bart Knwlai. ou vuo This seemed to upset the crowd and niany of them started to retreat. Hay den then took to the brush and though several shots were fired after him the crowd turned its attention to its wounded and took them to town where it was dis covered that none of the wounds were much more than skin deep. It is believed today that Hayden has been captured and is being held at some secret place by the officers who are either afraid of a lynching or are await ing for Governor Morrill to formally offer the f3J0 reward usually made in such cases. Al. Stock well, who is the star criminal catcher of this county has been unusu ally easy about the question of a capture every since yesterday morning when he went to the farm of Joe Senn a mile north of town in whose barn the murder er spent the nieht. The murder was committed at about 9 o'clock on Saturday evening and at eleven when Senn returned from town he found the fleeing man in his barn. Hayden formerly worked for Senn. When Senn went into his barn Hayden was in one of the stalls and had a shot gun. "Is Mike dead?" asked Hayden, "Yes, he is dead," said Senn. "I'm in a bad scrape, I guess," said Hayden. "Whai'il I do?" "You'd better go to town and give yourself up. At least get out of here. I don't want vou on my place," said Senn, "I won't srive mvself up," replied Hay den. "If they get me they'll get me dead." Senn went into his house, aud when he went out to his barn iu the morning at ten o clock Havden was still there. Senn warned Hayden to get out again and then went to town to inform the authorities. Deputy Al Stockwell went out with Dr. Swallow and wlien they came back they announced that Hayden was gone and that it would be useless to try to track him that day. Then Stockwell, who is accredited with knowing his business pretty thoroughly. went home and went to sleep. Innumerable rumors are afloat about town. The population put in the day on the streets in little groups talking over the murder and the probable or pros pective capture. There was a great deal of suppressed excitement. Men were found who had no hesitancy in asserting that if Hayden were brought to Valley f alls he would be lynched without delav. Hayden is known as a very tough man. Less than two years'ago he returned to V alley Falls from the state penitentiary. having served a term of five years for at tempted assault udou a white girl. Duffy, the murdered man, was a hand some young fellow and a coal miner. He is spoken of as a pleasant fellow when he was sober, but inclined to be quarrel some wliea intoxicated. Although it is related that several weeks ago Hayden acd Duffy had a fight while skating in which Duffy whipped Hayden by striking him on the head with a pair of skates, they had been friends.

It is probable that Mr. Kockhill's place will in turn be filled bv a promotion of some person in the state department. This may be either Mr. Dridler, chief of the diplomatic bureau, or Edward A. Renick, chief clerk of the. department. THE DIVORCE MILL. One Separation Granted and Two Petitions Piled Today. Two divorces filed and another granted completed today's record of the district court.

In the list of the successful bidders for the new $100,000,000 4 per cent thirty year government bonds which has just been given out, there are three Kansas purchasers. The largest Kansas purchase was made bv Mr. Guilford Dudley of Topeka. who took $10,000 and bis bid is auoted in the list at 111 although Mr! Dudley said to a State Journal reoorter this afternoon that his bid was 111J. air. uuciiey says he has not yet re ceived an official notification of his bid being successful and says there was a contingency conuected with his bid which now causes him to doubt whether he will receive an official notification. The premium ou these bonds is already advancing and on Saturday 116 was offered for them in New York so that if Mr. Dadlev would sell today he would have made at least 500 on his purchase. Ihe Morgans' bid for the bonds was 110 and a fraction, and that firm was to have all the issue at that figure after the higher bidders had been supplied. ihe list of western purchasers of bonds shows that some of them bid as high as no ana lib. ine other two Kansas purchasers were the Bank of Commerce.

FOR VENGEANCE. Greencastle Younsr Men Form an Organization To Lynch the Murderers Pearl Bryan of IP THE LAW FAILS. The Dead Girl'a Body Headless Placed in a Vault in 'the Ceme tery. Chicago, Feb. 10. A dispatch from Greencastle, Ind, says: The headless body of Pearl Bryan, who was so bru tally murdered at Cincinnati, was brought to Greencastle Saturday and at once deposited in a vault. When the news of its arrival spread over the city, hundreds of people went to the cemetery Sunday and for several hours there was a large crowd around the door of the vault.gazing at the casket through the iron gratings of the door. In the forenoon Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, father and mother of the girl, and her sisters and brothers visited the cemetery and entered the vault. The mother was so overcome by the spectacle of the head less trunk of her daughter that she swooned in the vault and the father was nearlv overcome in a similar manner. While the relatives were in the vault there was a meeting of the young and middle aged men of the city some dis tance away, aud it was said later that some twenty-five or thirty of theee pledged themselves to each other to avenge the girl's death if the murderers were not hanged Dy the law. The organization thus formed is said to be regarded simply as the nucleus of a larger one which will take the law into its own hands if Jackson and Walling escape the extreme penalty la the Cin cinnati courts. Ixdianapolis, Feb. 10. The police and reporters have been extracting state ments from Miss Hollingsworth. She says: "I shall be able to clear Jack son. He is responsible for Miss Bryan's condition, but he was not responsible for her death. I don t think either that Wood has anything to do with this case. I became interested in the girl because I had ouce known her and chanced to meet her at the anion station. She told me what had happened and said that Jackson was to blame. When I told her what drugs to get, she said she would take them in Jackson's presence and die there so as te throw suspicion upon Jack son and get him into difficulty." "How did you know what drugs to get?" "A young doctor told me." "What was his name?" "I decline to tell." "Did you ask him because of this case?" "No; I learned from him at a different time." The police are trying to get the names of the druggists of whom Miss Hollings worth said she, in company with Pearl Bryan, secured the drugs. Cincinnati, Feb 10. Jackson and Walling, after a somewhat exciting first day in jail, are 'reported to be in good spirits today. It looks as if the men will shortly be taken to Newport for trial. The grand jury is now in session and it is said is hearing evidence in the case. The prosecuting attorney is already preparing indictments. Besides this, Governor Bradley has sent a special officer to Newport to get the facts with a view to the issuance of a demand for the extradition of the prisoners. While the officers of Campbell county, Kentucky, are confident that they can protect the prisoners in Kentucky, and while citi zens of Newport resent the imputation of lawlessness it ts still the common notion that little would be left for the courts to do with these prisoners if they should be placed in the Newport jail. Scott jacKson toaay gave a written statement about his bloody coat found in the sewer. He claims that Walling wore hiB clothing on the night of the murder. A special from Greencastle Ind., says that no confidence is placed in the statement of Miss Hollingsworth of In dianapolis. She is an intimate friend of Jackson s. KNOWN AT PARSONS. Pearl Bryan Had Visited Her Sister In That Town. Parsons, Feb. 10.

Congressman O. L. Miller, of the Second district, is back from Washington and is at his home in Kansas City, Kan sas. Congressman r Miller says he likes Washington, but he cannot afford to stay there. "My law practice here amounts to more than the salary of the office," said he, "and I cannot afford to give it up. The two won't go together. Imust part with one or the other, and I have chosen to quit politics. It costs all of a congressman's salary to live there. When a pour man goes to congress he is poor when he leaves. I am the only member of the delegation from Kansas who is not a candidate for re-election." BOD IT AND BUEECI1ES.

Spectators and All May Be Clap ped in JaiL Austin, Tex., Feb. 10. Governor Cul berson in reply to interrogatories on the question of the pugilist tournament at LI Paso, says he has nothing to say on the subject Adjutant General Mabry and a troop of Texas" rangers are now at El Paso under Governor Culberson's instructions, and having every faith in their ability to prevent the fight on any, land owned by Texas the governor is resting se renely. It is understood that two United States troops from San Antonio post left there this morning for El Paso to prevent the fight on any so-called neutral ground. Governor Culberson says there will be no fight on Texas soil so long as there is a man left in the Texas ranger force. He does not think Stuart will at tempt to fight on Texas soil. Washington. Feb. 10. Mr. Romero, the Mexican minister, said today that it. was his understanding that the Mexican state authorities would cer taiuly prevent the Maher-Fitzsimmous mill from taking place on Mexican soil.

The light took place in the second story of Schlecter's mattress factory. Schlecter was knocked down and his head hit the floor so hard that his skull was fractured. TWO NATIONS ON GUARD To Prevent the Priza Fight on Either'a Territory, Washington,, Feb. 10. If an attempt is now made by the promoters of the FitzsimmoriS-Maher prize fight to "pull it off" iu New Mexico the government will prevent it at all hazards. Attorney General Harmon said this morning: "If they fight on any territory of the United States we will follow tham to the ends of the earth if necessary to bring them to justice." Opinion here is that Governor Culber son will certainly prevent the tight in Texas territory and no doubt has in Uuence enough with Mexican author ities to prevent its taking place in Mexico. It is understood that Governor Culberson has gone to the frontier to di rect in person the movements of militia if necessary to prevent this battle taking place on Texas territory. Texas undoubtedly will assume juris diction of,the disputed territory for the time being. If it is definitely known where the fight is to come off the author ities in that jurisdiction can arrest the principals before a breach of the peace takes place. Senor Romero the Mexican minister here, says the Maber-Fitziimmoos tight will not take place in Mexico and signifi cance is lent ta this declaration by the fact that the minister was in consultation with Secretary Olney this morning before making the state menu Thb lines of the law on both sides of the Rio Grande are drawing more closely around the party of pugil ists who are standing on the border of the United States and Mexico, and de velopments extremely unpleasant in their results to the sports may occur at any moment. Senor Romero says that the authorities of the Mexican state of Chihuahua are thoroughly iu earnest in the determina tion to stop the fight, and he points out that if the sports get across the line into Mexico they will be subject to immediate arrest In other words, it will nut be necessary for the Mexican officials to wait until au eilort is made to tight actually, but having no r satisfactory evidence that there is a de liberate intention on the part of pugil ists to break the law of Mexico the le gal officers of the state of Chihuahua are under the Mexican practice, at libertv to arrest every member of the party in cluding the would-be spectators, who by their presence give encouragement to intended offence, just as soon as they cross the boundary line. As for New Mexican soil, it is certain that the territorial officials with tho as surances they have received from the federal government of the fullest meas ure of support in their efforts first to prevent the hght coming oil thereon and second to secure the punishment of all participants if it is pulled off regardless or wnere luej may aeea, reiugu iu me United Stales, are now lully able to meet any movement of the fighters. In Texas also the way seems to be closed agaiust the sports by the active steps taken by Got.- Cniberson, who has assembled the lexas rangers near the scene of rendezvous, ana it is moreover reported that soma surprising develop ments may be looked for in that state that will discomfit the pugilists. Whether this means that the governor will adopt the Mexican plan of raiding the party before they ac tually commit an overt act or not, can not be determined at this distance but it is surmised that he may feel justi fied in taking some such action if he is assured of the purpose of the .party to violate the rigid Texas law against prize fighting. In reference to the current rumor that an attempt will be made to pull off the fight on some of the islands of the Rio Grande or other lands which cannot now be accurately said to be in either Mexico or Texas, it is said that if in such case the Mexican officials Bee fit to assnme jurisdiction over any such tract for the prevention of an act in violation of the laws of both the United States and Mex ican governments, our government will not be disposed to make any point against them. Wlirro They Expect to Fight, t I Washington, Feb. 10. Delegate Cat ron, of New Mexico, says the managers of the prize fight will probably attempt to pull it off about four miles below Ei Paso, where the Rio Grande cuts a poict of land on the New Mexican side, which is in the state of Chihuahua, and is still Mexican soil. President Diaz will probably take steps to stop the fight there, as he would have ample au thority to do under the circumstances. ENGLISH'S OLD SCORE. Startling Provision Made in the !ate Win. II.

CUBA'SAPPEAL Issued by President Blanconrt of the Provisional Government To the People of the United States. RECOGNITION ASKED From the President and Ameri can Congress. Have Proved their Eights as Belligerents. Philadelphia, Feb. 10. The Press today publishes an appeal to the Ameri can people signed by President Blan conrt of the provisional government of Cuba, and craving recognition for the insurgents. Says the appeal: "All we wish now is to be looked upon by the government of the United States as men and soldiers battling for their birthright. We do not wish to appear in the eyes of the world as bandits." After rehearsing in detail the history of the United States' struggle for freedom, the appeal continues: "We ask the American people to grant us through their president and congress those rights of belligerency to which, ac cording to laws of war and nations, we are entitled. Our armies have marched whither they might throughout the en tire island and for weeks have threat ened the stronghold of Spain's power in Cuba. "Must we capture Havana and drive Spain's hirelings" across the eea before we are even given the right as men to fight for that price less gift which God destined should be universally divided among his children. Must wrt gain our independ ence before we are accorded the sanction of the world to labor for it? 'Is Spain entitled to consideration at the haads of a modern civilized and high ly progressive nation? Does misrule of Cuba for a century commend her to the hearts and minds of men? Are her hire lings here to lift up and educate the Cuban and make his beloved island prosperous? "Cuba the bleeding, appeals to her American sisters. She does it in the name of God, of justice, of civilization and of America." BROTHER YS. BROTHER.

During their unique race for governor Bob and Alf did not actu ally carry their fiddles with them, but in almost every town the people wouid hunt up a couple of violins and insist on hearing them piay. When the elec tion was over and Bob was occupying the highest office in the gift of Ten nesseeans a convict of the penitentiary oae day sent him a fiddle. It was a -home-made instrument, the convict be ing its author and finisher.. He had made it while serving out his sentence in the "pn," and designed torching a tender chord in the governor's heart by the presentation. The story is best told in Governor Bob's own way: "One day just before Christmas a state official entered my office and sard: 'I have been implored by a poor, miserable wretch in the penitentiary to bring you this rude fiddle. It was made by hia own hands with a penknife during the hours alloted to him for rest. It is ab solutely valueless, it is true, but it is his petition for mercy. He begged me to say that he has neither attorney nor influential friends to plead for him; he is poor, and all that he aeks is, that when the governor shall sit at his own fireside on Christmas eve with his own nappy children around him, he will play one tune on this rough fiddle and think of a cabin far away in the mount ains in which is a family of poor, rag ged children crying for bread and lis tening for the returning footsteps of their convict father." Who would not have been touched by such an ap- peal? When Christmas eve came the governor sat at his own happy fireside, surrounded by his own happy family, and sitting there he played one tune on the rough fiddle. Far up in the mount ains there was another hearthstone bright and warm, the pardoned convict was there with his children on his knees and his heart re-echoing the strains which the governor played on the home-made fiddle.

As a result of her devotion to the cause of equal rights, Miss Emily Hays, odo of the most ardent workers for the emancipation ot her sex, is in a fair way to have a breach ef promise suit on her hands. MiBS Hays has always contended that women have as good a right to propose marriage as the men. Frank Wallets, a coy yonrg farmer near town, was selected as a fituug sub ject upon whom to make the experiment. Miss Hays now claims that the proposal was only a joke, that she merely wanted to practice upon Wallets, and he is real mean to take the matter seriously.

ON SILVER The Missouri Congressman Abandons tne White Metal in a Sensational Speecra. Washington, Feb. 10. In the House Saturday, Mr. Hall, Democrat, of Mis souri, announced his conversion to "sound money" in a rather sensational speech, in which he charged that eight senators who voted for free coinage, according to "credited information," had privately said that they believed free coinage would bring upon this country national and individual bank ruptcy and ruin. He charged them with trying to "leather tnair nests at home," and declared that the greatest sin of the present age was the cowardice of statesmen. He also de clared that a high officer of the admin istration had said that the silver agi tation had already cost the govern ment $262,000,000 in bond issues, and in the course of the next twelve months the bond issue would increase to $1,000,000,000. He said in part: "I am convinced that the greatest curse that besets our country is the cowardice of our poli ticians who have not the courage to tell the people when they get wrong on these economic questions. I know it is regarded as political death for a man in a rural district-not to throw up his hat and applaud these delusions, but if my people want a man of that kind to represent them they can get rid of me and I will willingly and gladly retire from political life." "I did not intend to make an ad dress further than to put myself on record as the one Democrat from a rural district west of the Mississipi in a purely agricultural region, that dares stand up and say that sound money is the salvation of the agricultural and laboring classes of this government. I understand full well that the action of the National Bimetallic League has put my district on the black list. I understand, situated as I am, both of my senators on the opposite side of the question, my entire State and all my speaking colleagues on the Democratic side on the other side of the question, that it leaves me stand ing alone practically and with a hard row to hoe. And if I shall go down'to defeat I will go with my own self-respect and my friends will be able to appreciate that I was not too cowardly to tell my people what I believed to be right when their judgment was en tirely the other way."

Bob Fitz Simmons and Peter Maher will meet in the ring in spite of official action, and there is strong probability that several of the other carnival events will take place. Dan Stuart so declares and the preparations are being made as though no bar had been placed upon the events. The only effect of the action at Washington has been to make the pro moter and his associates more secret ive as to the plans. At midnight last night much of the paraphernalia for the mills was taken from the city. Great care was taken to keep the mat ter quiet. The material presumably went across the border into Mexico at a point north of here. Adjutant Gen eral Mabey of Texas galloped into the city yesterday morning at the head of a company of twelve Texas rangers. Their arrival caused a stir until it be came known that the object of their visit was to see that the fights did not take place on Texas soil. When the troop found there was no likelihood of it being called into action the indi vidual rangers expressed an intention of being spectators. The fights may take place at any time, although they are not likely to be brought off for at least forty-eight hours. fZuSS At a meeting of Dan Stuart and his lieutenants it was decided that on the day of the big fight Bat Masterson will be given charge of the train and will have 100 men under his orders. Jim Bates will be given charge of the equipment and Secretary -Wheelock was made master of transportation. Governor Ahumada of the State of Chihuahua, arrived at Juarez yester day afternoon and the story at once spread around that be had come to prevent the fight taking place. He laughed when asked if such was the case and declined to discuss the fight in any way. He had, he said, declared himself once, and that was enough. Last evening Martin Julian received the following cablegram: "London, Feb. 8. Should the con test not take place and there is no chance to pull it off, the National Sporting club of London will post 5,000 for a twenty round fight. Wire acceptance or declination to A. Lu al ley. New York. Reuter." When Julian opened this message he crumpled it np and said indignantly: "Well, what do you think of that? Here we are fighting to a finish for a cheap purse and taking chances against soldiers when we might pull the fight off in the best club house in the world and get a lot of money out of it." The New Mexico border is protected by a pgsse of deputy sheriffs. At Juarez, Mexico, there are five com panies of Mexican national infantry, two of the companies having been transferred to the Juarez barracks within the past ten days. El Paso In the Hands of Toughs. Austin, Tex., Feb. 10. The ad jutant general has gone to El Paso, at which point it is understood that the major portion of the ranger force will be found concentrated within the next few days. United States Dis trict Attorney R. U. Bulburson has also gone to El Paso, presumably in obedience to instructions from Wash ington, and United States Marshal Ware may depart for that city to morrow. From persons who have just come from El Paso it is learned that the city is in the hands of the boldest gang of toughs ever gotten together in any one spot on earth, and hold-ups are sc common there now as to attract no attention. Troops Ordered to Jaarez. Chihuahua, Mexico, Feb. 10. Gov ernor Aiiuamada of the State of Chi huahua has taken decisive steps toward preventing the proposed pu gilistic carnival taking place within the confines of this State. He has is sued orders for 1,000 troops to proceed to the border and patrol the city of Jaurez and adjacent territory during the days on which the fights are scheduled to occur. The governor has also addressed a letter to the princi pals and managers of the fights in forming them that they will positively not be allowed to trespass upon Mex ican .soil if any pugilistic encounters are contemplated.

THE HILLS ARE RICH, But Capital Alone Can Develop the Mines. If Yon Go Take a Tent, Cooking Outfit and Team. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Cbipple Cheek, Feb. 10. Less than twenty-four hours after leaving Topeka over the Santa Fe found me in the Crip ple Creek camp. Cripple Creek lies high np in the mountains, 9,000 feet above sea level at the foot of a long valley in which are situated Victor and Anaconda, two min ing camps five and three miles respec tively, from Criuple Creek. cripple creek is a town, or camp, oi 12,000 population now, with accommoda tions for less than half that number. As a consequence fearful prices for the bar est necessities of life are the rule. A half dozen brick buildings, in two of which are the leading hotels, give it an air of age and solidity, bfit with those exceptions? it is a new town of shanties put up hastily for the needs of business. Its streets are constantly crowded with a cosmopolitan mass of excited people who are talking of "leads," and "paying ore and "new finds," and prces of shares. These are not placer mines, though free gold is said to be plentiful, but Cripple Creek has no "creek" or any run ning water to wash gold with. ine man who expects to pick up nug gets of gold as he would stones will be disappointed. The quartz and rock cou tainiug the gold is mined, crushed, smelt ed and treated with chemicals to free the gold. Only companies with large capi tal can make mining pay. Since the pros r active miner cannot engage in mining he will probably try to locate a mining claim but he will again fail for there is not a single claim left in the whole gold bearing district. Every one of them, 600 feet by 1,500 feet, is taken long ago and half of them have a contestant or two fighting over the ownership. lhe discouraged "tenderfoot" will then offer his services to a mining com pany only to have them rejected, for there are twenty native Colorado miners of experience ready to work for every one needed. Then lr our man he ot true grit and Kansas education, he locates a claim on a barren mountain, twenty miles away from any gold, forms a stock com pany, issues handsomely lithographed shares of stock, puts thein on the eastern market at low figures "to develop the richest gold property in the state," "dhareg certain to sell at par in 60 days," and works suckers to more profit than he would any gold mine in the district. Such companies are formed daily, solely for swindling purposes. there is not a town between the oceans of the same population in which as much misery, vice, and crime exist as in Cripple Creek. The excellent jail facilities of the camp are tested to their utmost, lhieves, murderers, and vag rants crowd the jail, and among the lat ter are also many deserving working men unable to find employment. Mechanics, especially carpenters and masons, can be quite sure of finding work at $2.50 to $3.50 per dav, but the unskilled laborer has a poor chance there are too many of him. The cheapest board is $7 by the week. and it is very poor. A great deal of building is being done in the camp, and buildings rent furnormous pricea. For the capitalist and the business man, there is almost unlimited wealth in these gold fields. There is not the shad ow of a doubt of the enormous richness of the district. Cripple Creek will be for years to come a busy, thriving city; such as Leauvule Its town lots and business locations sell and rent for fabulous ericas, and a fabu lous business is done bv the saloons, gambling houses, dance halls, hotels and theaters that plunder the transients who comprise half the people there. An advance guard of the influx of me chanics, business men, capitalists and all classes and conditions of men it is gen erally accepted Colorado is to receive from the eastern and Mississippi valley states this year via Cripple Creek, ia al ready on hand ready to do work. A party of 30 building mechanics from Lincoln, Neb., is here in a private tour ist sleeping car in which they traveled from home and made their headquarters since arriving. I hey have a mutual cor poration and come to engage in their various trades. It is estimated by visitors from the east that this district will teceive an increase of 50,000 in its population within the year. Many will come intending only to make money to send to the folks at home, but some of them will bring their families with them or send for them after they have made a permanent location in (Col orado. Investments in mines or mining stock and Cripple Creek property, if wiselv mnde, will unquestionably pay splendid ly. A great rush for this district will occur in May and June, and it is believed the boom will reach its zenith at that time. TIkbj who go to find work should take a tent and cooking supplies, and a team if possible. tl. A GBOWBKG INDUSTRY, The Tictor Listed on lhe New York Ei elianee $485,000 Dividends.

The princess of Wales is wonderful! On the first night of the play she came upon everybody as something like a revelation, after an absence of a few months from our midst, eays the Lady's Pictorial. We forgot how young, how beautiful she was. We had often said she did not loot a day older than her daughters. But now we began to think that she looked even younger. With her fair hair arranged toperf ection and dressed in verv becomins lace and black velvet. bediamonded to tie throat, she called to my mind the de scription given of her by Dean Stanley, the prettiest princess ever stepped om of a fairy tale." And she was radiant with smiles, chatting now with the prince, now with Prince Nicholas of Greece or the duchess of Fife. Both prince and m-incess of Wales were de lighted with the play and congratulated the star In the kindest manner possi ble. When the curtain had fallen they desired to have the leading woman pre sented to them, and shaking hands very cordially, said such pretty and gracious things to her that she (a very young and ingenuous girl) fairly beamed with delight an the rest of the evening, x imagine that the Drincess is desirous of setting the continental fashion here of adopting deml-tollet at the theater. For the last vear or two she has per sistently worn a smart high bodice with sleeves almost to the wrist whenever she has been seen In the royal box. Of course, abroad, at the theater as well as casinos, full dress Is unknown, wen, there is a reasonableness in the fash- Ion. Once inside the theater a woman is in public, a,nd there are those who think it Inconvenable, I suppose, that she should wear a low dress as in her own drawing-room. Granted, nut we In London always dress lor dinner, some more, some less, and we hop into" our broughams or hansoms straight from our coffee and liqueur.

'TRILBY" WAKES UP JOHN BULL B Has Just Discovered That Jonathan's Uterary Judgment Was Correct. Our British cousins did not take very strongly to "Trilby" when that novel was first put upon the market, says the New York World. The English critics, who are a" very clever and high sal aried lot of gentlemen, instantly an nounced with a suddenness of percep- ception and immobility of conviction peculiar to the British isle that there was really nothing in the book, and the British public, which has been waiting with strained ears to catch the mani festo of the critics, at once came to the same conclusion. Shortly afterward the work became extremely popular in America, and when they heard this the British critics and the British public threw their hats up in the air and ex claimed aloud in a frenzygof joy and self -congratulation "Did not we say long ago that there was nothing in 'Trilby?' And "Is it not now proved that we were right? The great American public ha3 approved of 'Trilby.' The great American public never approves of anything that is worthy of approval; therefore, oh, it is so plain, 'Trilby' is trashy." But now two year's have passed and the sad news is flashed over the cable that the discerning British public and critics have succumbed. They now acknowledge "Trilby" as their queen, They have the "Trilby" craze. They wear Trilby shoes. They give Trilby teas. The women buy Trilby garters, The concert halls are all giving Trilby burlesques. In fact, "the Trilby Infec tion" (so reads the cable dispach) "has worked in the slower English blood a fever no less violent than that from which America recovered months ago. The craze has invaded everything and become almost insufferable to the Americans in London. More than 100, 000 copies of the book have now been published here, and the demand Is un satisfied." If the British public keep np this hustling there is every possibility that they will adopt the sleeping car in time. Market Prices In Alaska. Gold may be plentiful in the Alaskan fields, but it takes a good deal of it to buy what in most places are considered common luxuries If not necessities. Whisky costs 50 cents a drink, meas ured out by the vendor, too, in Circle City, and a gallon of it costs ?20 or more. Beer hot from the vat costs 25 cents a drink and Is scarce at that. Usually it is to be had only on festal occasions, at dances and the like. Then brewing kettles are kept going on the cook stoves, the beer is set aside a few moments to cool a little and then it Is passed steaming over the bar at 25 cents a drink., A brewery is now being built at Circle City.

SCORESJJAWES.. Judge Dale of Wichita Says Tiger Bill is Guiltless. That the Trouble Was With the Attorney General at Topeka. CAMPBELL WAS TOLD To Accept Attorney Fees and Dismiss Liquor Cases. The Assistant Attorney's Hon esty Not Questioned. Wichita, Feb. 10. Assistant Attorney General W. P. Campbell was BCquitt6d at exactly eight minutes before 6 o'clock in the district court Saturday evening. He was accused in disbarment proceed ings of obtaining fees illegally in consid eration of dismissing prosecutions under the prohibitory law. In announcing his decision Judge Dale took occasion to severely score At torney General Dawes: Judge Dale first thanked the commit tee for the work they hud done and the disagreeable task tbey had to perform. He hoped that during his four years of office he would not have anything else bo disagreeable as it. With this intro duction he announced that the prosscu tion had utterly failed to make a case against Judge Campbell. lie referred to mr. Stanley s argument concerning the character of Judge Campbell for honesty and integrity and also the pre cedent spoken of as dangerous. That is the question exactly," he said, "and Mr. buuley asks where we are at. We are at a point that we must elect an attorney geueral that knows the law and is competent to advise on it The trouble is not with Judge Campbell, it is up at Topeka. He then said that the advice of the attorney general given to the request of Judge Campbell settled the question of motive. lie did not con sider nor did the evidence justify the conclusion that Judge Campbell's action in taking fees under .the circumstances as shown was wilfully corrupt or know ingly was illegal oud nothing was left for him to do but to acquit the accused. He said, however, that the practice of taking attorneys' fees in cases dismissed would not be tolerated in his court no matter whether the attorney general ad vised such a course or not and that he would hold to that rule until he was re versed by a higher court than his.

From the Pall Mall Gazette: The old est of all the obelisks is the beautiful one of rosy granite which stands alone among the green fields on the banks oi the Nile not far from Cairo. It is the gravestone of a great city which has vanished and only left this relic be hind. That city was Bethshemes of the scripture, the famous On, which is memorable to all Bible readers as the residence of the priest of On, Poti pherah, whoso daughter Asenath Jo eeph married. The Greeks call it Heliop- olis, the city of the sua, because there the worship of the sun had its chief center and its most sacred 6hrine. It was the seat of the most ancient uni versity of the world, to which youthful students came from all parts of the world to learn the occult wisdom which the priests of On alone could teach. Thales, Solon, Eudoxus, Pythagoras and Plato all studied there; perhaps Moses, too. It was also the birthplace of the sacred literature of Egypt, where were written on papyrus leaves the original chapter of the oldest book in the world, generally known as "The Book of the Dead," giving a most strik ing account of the conflicts and tri umphs of the life after death, a whole copy or fragment of which every Egyptian, rich or poor, wished to have buried with him in his coffin, and por tions of which are found inscribed on every mummy case and on the walls of every tomb. In front of one of the principal temples of the sun, in this magnificent city, stood, along with a companion, long since destroyed, the 6olitary obelisk which we now behold on the spot. It alone has survived the wreck of all the glory of the place. It was constructed by TJsertesen I., who is supposed to have resigned 2800 B. C, and has outlived all the dynastic changes of the land, and still stands where it originally stood nearly forty aeven centuries ago. WThat appears of its shaft above ground is sixty-eight feet in height, but its base is buried in the mud of the Nile, and year after year the inundation of the river de posits its film of soil around its foot and buries it still deeper in its sacred grave.

Several members of the Grand Army have re ceived communications from the sol diers' home at Tountville expressing great indignation at the treatment to which the bodies of soldiers who die in the institution are subject. The feeling was aroused by a paragraph in the last annual report of the home, and it has been increased by recent developments Following is a copy of a letter received by a G. A. R. official in this city: Vetehan's Home, Yountville, Jan. 81. Much indignation exists here about the bodies of old soldiers, members of the home, being mutilated and dismembered for the benefit of doctors and medical students. In bis last annual report, dated June 30. 1895, Dr. W. F. McAllister says: "Sixteen autopsies have been held during the year, and from this date on autopsies will be held and a history of each case will be carefully recorded of all who die at the home." This report was accepted, approved and printed by the directors, who have lately, to facilitate this and other matters, appointed three other doctors a visiting pbysician, an ear, eye and throat special ist, and a young assistant surgeon. Some of the old vets have left and others will leave on account of this unlawful and outrageous treatment of our dead. Tbe attention of relatives, the Grand Army who fonnded this home, the peo ple who support it with their taxes, and the law officers of the Government is called to this degradation of the bodies of the heroes who fought to save our nation.

MULE WAS A POOR SUBSTITUTE. Disastrous Results ot an Innovation in a LodffO Ceremony. From the Portland Oregonian: The little black mule which is seen on the streets very frequently with children on his back has attained quite a reputa tion among the various east side lodges during the past few weeks. It is gen erally supposed that all candidates "ride the goat" when initiated in se cret organizations, but it has been a bad year for goats, and some of the ledges have been in the habit of bor rowing this mule instead and giving the candidate a ride around the haU on its back. On one occasion, a few evenings ago, it is reported, the initiatory cere mony came to grief. The candidate had been blindfolded, so it is related, in the anteroom, and then brought into the lortgeroom, where he was mounted on the mule. The guide was immedi ately in the rear, while the mile was being led by one of the brothers. Sev eral others were near at hand on either side. The procession approached the chair of the presiding officer. Sudden ly the mule stopped ard refused to go forward. No amount of pulliUg and urging could get him to budge. Final ly one of the brethren told the guide to twist the mule's tail. The guide never had any experience with twisting mules tails or he would have declined to do so, but, being ignorant of the -.,,1 f 5. hn i mule nature to resent such dignity he promptly seized the rather chart cauaai apnendace and eave a twist. Tbe mule was a little surprised, but, quicKly re covering, let fly both feet, lifting the offender nearly to the ceiling. The mule plunged forward toward the chair of the presiding officer with the can didate still clinging to the saddle for dear life. The presiding officer man aged to jump out of the way. From here the animal made for the secre tary, who dodged under the table. His head wss now turned down the hall, and away he went, over chairs and members, whom he knocked down in every direction. The candidate by this time had fallen from the muls's back. Around and around the mule flew until the hall was in the wildest state of confusion, everybody trying to eaten the mule, which made several almost successful efforts to plunge out of a window into the street below. Finally, in malting a turn in one corner of the hall, the mule fell, and a dozen men piled on top of him and held him firm. He was taken downstairs by one ot tne brothers and led home. After order was restored the candidate was per mitted to sign the constitution and be come a member without further cere monies. A motion was passod to tne ei fect that any member divulging the un happy event of the evening should exDelled from the lodee without r course. But most of the members aro married and told their wives. Then the secret leaked cut.

Mr. Oldeu, pastor of the First Af rican Baptist church, closed his series of black board lectures last nigm wuu an interesting and instructive lecture on "Social Purity." Mr. Olden impressed upon nis nearers me neeu 01 a uiguet social life. He said it was impossible for a race to rise higher Jhan its women, la the light of scripture Mr. Olden said man and woman are put on the same so cial level, aud that the man who falls into disgrace should receive the same treat-

ment a woman receives wuuium miu shame, and society snould not conaone the sins of a mn any more than the sins of a woman. Both are guilty alike. Mr. Olden closed his lecture with a strong plea for better and purer man and wom anhood. The lectures have been an ed ucational benefit to Mr. Olden's congre gation. Bicycle Makers Strike. Chicago.

JAPANESE TAKING HAWAII Jlnlian I- Maine Says the Island Will pecome a Japanese Outpost. San Francisco. Feb. 10. Julian D. Haine editor of The Hawaiian, a monthly magazine published in Honolulu, arrived on the steamship Australia. He takes a very pessimistic view of the present government of Hawaii and says the Jap anese are becoming so numerous there and so firmly rooted that the islands are in danger of becoming mere outposts of Japan. The utter failure of the effort to recon cile the native Hawaiians to disfran chisements the sudden aggressive action of the Japanese residents and the inde pendent stand taken by Chinese agricul turists, make the situation anything but comfortable. "The government is like a business house threatened by bankruptcy. Tbe crisis may be delayed but not for long.

Mrs. Ormiston Chant Has Arrived in Chi cago to Purify the blnms. Chicago, Feb. 10. Mrs. Laura Or miston Chant, one of England's best known woman speakers, who arrived in this city Saturday night de livered three noteworthy addresses in this city Sunday. The first was on the evils of a great city and what tbe churches might do for them; the second on the ideal heaven and earth, and the third one on deductions drawn by slum worn in tionaon. To Mrs. Chant, more than any other person, is given the credit of arousing public sentiment against the low er order of music halls in London, and of conducting a campaign which resulted in the closing of the- most objectionable of them. She hopes by an agitation of the subject to start a similar wave of reform in Chicago. Between her different addresses there was no connecting links.

Wheat There was an easier tone to cables this morning, and as a consequence an easier opening in wheat ind lower price were scored than had been looked for. The news was favorable to higher prices, but there was heavy realizing, and though it was a bitter dose, tbe bulls took their medicine meekly. Late cablea were stronger and higher, however, and when a break to 65?g for May wheat occurred about noon, there was heavy buying, both against puts and for long account. Receipts in the northwest were larger than expected and estimated cars for tomorrow somewhat of a sur prise here. The worlds visible supply for the month of January is reported to have decreased twenty -one million bushels. This is a good break and we advise clients to buy on soft spots. Corn and oats were quiet and feature less, sharing fluctuations in wheat. Provisions had another set back at the opening, but the decline was small and was met with good buying of May pork. open, tlin liow. cloe C14 Wheat- 646 64 64 64 65 V May 66J 66& 65 66 07 July 66 60i 65 06 603 Corn -S8 5:8 23 28 23 May 30 80 30s' 30 3'J July '61 31i4 31i 81'a Sept. 82$ 32 82 B2U Oats 3956 193 ltt58 193 9?J May 21i 21 21 21 21 July 21 H 21 21 21Jg 21' Pork 10.05 10.05 1U.05 10.1'5 10.1 1 Mav 10.22 10.35 10.22 10.25 10.32 Julv 10.50 10.50 10.45 10.45 10.50 Lard 5.47 5.47 5.47 5.47 5.47 May 6.65 5.67 5.65 5.65 5.67 July 5.77 5.80 5.75 5.77 5.S2 Ribi 5.10 5.10 5.10 5.10 5.12 May 5.30 5.32 5.27 5.27 5.3-i July 5.37 5.40 5.35 5.37 5.43 Market Uotsip.

The closing sentenoj in Albert Grif fin's new book is as to lows: "The destinies of the Repablicau party are In the hands of the present cocgress what will it do with them?" The estimated cost of completing the Nicaragua canal is $111,000,000. The proceeds of the pending bond sale would just do it Why not apply the money that way? There is no other real use for it. Congressmen Curtis and Broderick know enough to respect the will of the people, and they will be in public life when Blue, Calderhead, Long, and others have been forgotten. Thk State Journal's suggestion of Judge S. R, Peters for chief justice is arousing enthusiasm ail over the state. Hutchinson .News. Isn't it, though; there is grave danger that Mr. Sampeters will be forced onto ihe bench in spite of his screams. Thk reference made by Senator Till man in his recent great speech to the "endless chain" mentioned by the presi dent as "a contrivance with thieves at one end and dishonest officials at the other to rob the American people" ap pears in the light of current events to be not far from a true statement of the case. So it seems that Wichita is greater than the state of Kansas after all and the liquor prosecutions have been aban doned because of the impossibility of se curing convictions. In the face of the positive evidence of violations of the law the jury acquits without leaving the box. This fact will probably be con strued as a point in favor of Governor Morrill. lie said the law couldn't be enforced in the face of an adverse public sentiment and now it will be considered as proven. One of the latest contributions to the cause of "honest money" is "The Key note" by Albert Griffin, formerly of Kan sas. The keynote, according to the .au thor is to "substitute honest money for fictitious credit." The work, according to the title page, has for its object "an appeal for genuine money from a Re publican standpoint." The subject is treated nnder the following general heads: "Cause and Cure of Panics," "Real Money and Standards," "The Golden Vampire," "The Silver Cornu copia," and "What Must We do to be Bayed." The book is a volumes of 443 pages and treats the whole currency question in a thorough and exhaustive manner, presenting the history of cur rency legislation in a concise and tangi ble form. There is not much in it new to the stndent of the subject but the facts are collected in a form which will render the book invaluable for reference and throw on the subject all necessary light lor the uninformed. The man honestly desirous of arriving at the truth can ob tain from its pages what it would take him months or even years to search out for himself. After going over the history of the currency, the author arrives at the conclusion that the present monetary and industrial troubles arise from the fact that there is not enough "real money" and that there is too much' "fluctuating panic producing substitute credit." The remedy therefor is stated to consist in "more good money and less fictitious bank credit." To bring about this .change the immediate restoration of ail ver is suggested and the issne of all paper currency by the government. The procesB by which government money is to be placed in circulation is treated in n intelligent and commonsense way. The book should be ia the, hands of every friend of the toiling masses.. It is published by S. L. Griffin Co., Phila delphia or Topeka In paper cover 50 cento. In an editorial artiole justifying the bow famous speech of Senator Best Till man the St, Louis Post Dispatoh quotes Secretary Carlisle and others. The article appears under the caption of "Till man and Others" and Is as followst Except in giving it a personal appli cation, how does the speech of Senator Tillman differ from the arraignment of iaa saanoiai conspiracy by Carlisle, la the house of representatives on February 21. 1878, when he said: "According to my view of the subject, the conspiracy which seems to have been formed here and in Europe to destroy, by legislation and otherwise, from three sevenths to one-half of the metallic money of the world is the most gigantic crime of this or any other age. "The consummation of such a scheme would ultimately entail more misery up on the human race than all the wars, pestilence and famine that ever ocourred in the history of the world." What has Senator Tillman done but point to the abettors of what Mr. Bright of Tennessee in the Forty-fifth congress condemned, when he said: "Aye, sir; it was a fraud that smells to heaven. It was a fraud that will stink in the nose of pos terity, and for which some persons "must give an account on the day of retribu tion." To what else did Senator Tillman call attention, but to that colossal crime to which the special committee of the house on the cause of agricultural depression in March, 1895, referred when it re ported that "class legislation or me worst character encumbers the statute books and has been carried on to the detriment of agriculture and its de pendent industries for thirty years, culminating in the crime of the age, the demonetization of silver in 1873." As John Clark Ridpath, in the current number of the Arena, says: "W ords are inadequate to describe the protuncuty ana criminality of that scheme. It was done by a turn of Shylock's wrist, so adroit, and. one might say, so devilish. as to be indescribable in the phraseology of this world." It is because they feel the effects of this crime and would fix the responsi bility for it that so many people today applaud blunt-spoken Ben Tillman. THE KATE NOT THE SAME. A Dltr.renca of 17 Cinti Between Haw York and Galveston Corn Rates The state board of railroad commi: sioners has notified the various railroad companies doing business in Kansas that unless they do something immediately to bring relief to the farmers of Kansas in resDect to the corn rate which was re cently advanced, the matter will be ap pealed to the inter-state commerce com mission. In a letter written to the railroad com missioners. General Attorney M. A. Low of the Rock Island says the charge that the recent advance in rates was just to make the Galveston rate the same as the New York rate, is untrue, lie says the rates from Wichita to New York is 4S cents per hundred, and from Wichita to Galveston is 32 cents per hundred. TO SOLVE GRAIN QUESTION. Cattle Exempt I'rom Taxation In Grant County, Oltlauoma. Wichita. Feb. 10. The people of Ok lahoma have advanced a new idea that will in a measure solve the grain trans portation question. The commissioners of Grant county have passed a resolu tion exempting feeding cattle from tax ation. This was done for the purpose of in ducing Texas cattlemen to bring their cattle there to eat up the surplus grain of that county, and thus avoid its ship ment to eastern points and giving the railroads the pro tit. UgliFon a Dark Mystery. There Is an organization in Boston known as the Society of Psychical Re search. The other evening at one of the meetings a certain person, said to poss ess remarkable occult powers, volun teered to give an exhibition, which of fer waa gladly accepted by the society. The "professor" was a woman, slightly built, with pallid cheeks and dark raven hair. One of the members, while not par ticularly skeptical, thought he would try a little experiment on his own ac count, so before going to the meeting he provided himself with some pieces of phosphorescent paper that in the dark lit up like a glow worm. This he tore into small pieces and just before the lights were extinguished contrived to place three or four bits of the paper on the "professor's" head. Then he sat down and waited. When the room was dark the "profes sor's" cranium emitted a pale light, visible to every one in the room but the "professor" herself. In a few minutes the phenomena began, but, strange to relate, when a tambourine in one corner ef the room began to sound. Hip illumin ated head was there also, and the mov ing about of the operator could be easily traced. The suppressed mirth told the "professor" something was wrong, and when the light waa turned on and the paper discovered the remarks made were far from spiritual. There were no more manifestations that night. Bos ton Post. t HJ Sealing Doesn't Pay. More than half the schooners that composed the San Francisco sealing fleet last season have already gone out of the business, and it seems generally agreed among the Bealers there that the sealing business is dead so far as San Francisco is concerned. Last Jan uary thirteen vessels left San Francisco to hunt seals. Only four will leave this year, and several of the schooners which went sealing last year are now fitting out to cruise after otters a more pre carious, but, if successful, a much more remunerative business than catch ing seals.

Telegraphs of the World. One of the leading publications de voted to the news of the electrical world has been at pains to gather sta tistics from official sources regarding the extent of the telegraph system of the world, the figures being brought up to December 1. The total length of tel egraph lines in the world is 904,761 miles, and the total miles of wire used on tne same 2,682,583, or enough to go around the globe at the equator over 107 times. The total miles of line in the United States January 1, 1S95, was 190,303, with total miles of wire 790,792. At tba Hub. Boston is a great musical as well as Intellectual center. One of its papers says of a sermon last Sunday: "The spiritual lesson it bore was pointed and enforced by an eloquently rendered so graao aolo just at ita close.' CREATES! OF TRUSTS. J. Pierpont fTorgan's New Deal in Coal. COAL ADYAHCED 35 CENTS PER T08 A, a Starter toy tne Trnat Control" Over 88,000.000,000 at Capital. A new trust," greater, richer, stronger, more important than any other trust now ia existenoo, has been formed and actual operations begun. Involving thousands of miles of railroad and more than $2,000,000,000 of capital of the Vanderbilts and J. Pierpont Morgan, it is far ahead of the wildest dream of wealth and monopoly which the late Jay Gould ever conceived. J. Pierpont Morgan is the master spirit and originator of tho new trust, the magnitude of whose opera tions makes the profits of a gold ring seem insignificant and trifling. The anthracite coal mining and railroad companies sold last year 46,000,000 tons of coal at an aver age wholesale price of (3.08. It is proposed by tho new trust to ralso the price to 94 a ton. On decreased production an increased profit of $38,000,000 is assured and will b3 divided among 11 companies. It is easy to estimate what a per capita tax this means upon the country. The groat Coal, trust began operations by advancing the price of coal 35 cents a ton. This inorease is only the first step, but it means over $15,000,000 increased cost to consumers and an even greater profit to the trust, as many middlemen and selling agents are to be dispensed with. Tho permanency and suocess of the trust are not doubted by the most skeptical in Wall street, because the companies which have broken every previous trust agree ment are now absolutely controlled by Mr. Morgan or the Vanderbilts. The new trust is a giant, compared to which the Standard Oil, the Sugar, tho Tobacco and the Leather trusts are mere pygmies. A. A. McLeod, during his meteoric career as president of the Beading railroad and coal mines, tried to iorm sucn a trust nve yeara ago, but the New Jersey legislature an nulled his lease of two rival companies, and J. Pierpont Morgan finished bis career by shutting; him out of New England and forcing the securities McLeod had pledged to carry through his Boston and Mains deal on to the market In a panic. Now more than 00 per cent of the Head ing railroad stock has been deposited with Mr. Morgan for reorganization and a vot ing trust created for flvo years. The Beading railroad and its mines have thus passed into an alliance with capitalists whose board of direotors are all so closely commingled and interchangeable that their board meetings might be held simultane ously in a single room without conflict cr confusion. Tho magnitude of these interests sinco tho monopoly of anthracite coal mining has now been added to the enormous rail road interests already centralized is so vast and farreaching that bankers and railroad men cannot oslimate its ultimate effect. Excluding bonds, the new coal and rail road trust stands for nearly $1,800,000,000 capital and 24,530 miles of railroad. This capital stands for 2XA times the entire bonded debt of the United States. Here is a list of the leading companies, with their mileage and capital stock. There are many smaller companies controlled ab solutely by the Morgan-Vandorbilt inter ests: Capital New "Fork Central 819 J170.00O.O00 take Shoue 1,449 100,000,000 Canada Southern 450 34,0u0,000 "West Shore 495 61,000,000 New Vork, Chicago St. Louis 623 49,000.000 Chesapeake Ohio 1,360 130,000,000 Michigan Central 1,570 43,000.000 Beading 1,170 254,000,000 Delaware Hudson 685 40,000,000 Erie 2,016 21,000,000 Ontario Western 47T 72,000,000 Delaware, Lackawanna Western 900 29,000,000 New York, New Haven Hartford 843 83.000,000 Chicago Northwestern. 4,273 200,000.000 Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul 6,169 185,000,000 Cleveland, Columbus, Cin cinnati St. Louis 2,394 100,000,000 Beech Creek Coal 188 11,000,000 Total 24,530 ?1,852,000.000 The advance in the price of coal made by the trust is the first step.

How to Tell by a Fixed Bale tbe Day ol This Anniversary. r Easter Sunday this year falls on April 5, and Shrove Tuesday, tbe close of the car nival season in France and in the Latin countries, falls on Feb. 18. The establishment of tho Christian fes tival of Easter, typical of the resurrection of the Lord, was a matter of much contro versy in the church for centuries, but was finally established by the Gregorian calen dar adopted by the Roman church in 1753, and Easter is always the first Sunday after the full moon which happens upon or next after March 21, which date is the begin ning of tho ecclesiastical year. Therefore the earliest date upon which Easter may occur is March 22. If the full noon should fall on March 21, Faster is ho following Sunday. The latest dato upon whioh the festival may fall is April 25. In 1761 and 1818 Easter fell on Maroh 23, but that will not occur again in this or the next century. In 1886 It fell on April 25 and will do so again in 1913. Salvation Army to Invade Chinatown. The Salvation Army will erect a fort and begin a campaign in Chinatown, San Francisco.

Tba Candidates For President of the league of American Wheelman. On the eve of the annual assembly of the League of American Wheelmen, whioh meets at Baltimore on Feb. 10, the polit ical pot is boiling quite furiously. There Is a decidedly spirited oontest for the office of president of this great organization of cyclists. A number of prominent wheel men have been mentioned In this connec tion, bnt the contest has now narrowed down to Archibald O. Willlson of Mary land and Sterling Elliott of Massachusetts, and the fight promises to be the hottest in the annals of the organization. Mr. Willlson is tho present head of the league, having been elected president at the last annual assembly on Feb. 18, 1895. Ho now seeks a re-election. His home is A. C. W ILLISON. STERLING ELLIOTT. in Cumberland, Md., where he was for a number of years tho business manager and assistant editor of the Cumberland Even ing Times. His most noteworthy piece of work as a newspaper man was done dur ing the flood at Johnstown, Pa., in 1880, being the first correspondent to enter the stricken town. He retired from journal ism in 1891, and organized 'the Cumber land Hardware company, of which ho be came president. He has been a member of the Maryland board of L. A. W. officers six years, in each of which he was delegate to the national assembly. In 1894 he was elected first vice prosldent of the league, succeeding to the presidency In 1895, with out material opposition. Mr. Elliott, who aspires to succeed Pres ident Willison, Is the editor and publisher of The L. A. W. Bulletin, the official or gan of the league, whioh is published in Boston, where Mr. Elliott resides. He is a writer of recognized ability, and known as the poet laureate of the cyclers. He U now chief consul of the Massachusetts divi sion, and is enthusiastically devoted to wheeling and its interests. He is a man of action, of enthusiasm, of originality, and his ambition ia to double the member ship of the league. To the average wheelman, who Is not on tho inside of leaguo politics, it is a case of "How happy could I be with either were t'other dear charmer away," as the feeling prevails that, no matter how the issue is finally decided, the affairs of the league will be in good and capable hands. WITH THE WHEELMEN. Soveral daily cycling papers are pub lished on the continent of Europe. Sir Julian Pnuncefote was an interested visitor to the Now York Cycle show. Somebody has figured out that there are 876 different kinds of bicycles manufac tured in America. Soft balls stand less chance of being crushed than extremely hard balls, and also wear more evenly. Mayo, one of the crack tandem team of Mayo and Saunders, is now racing at an indoor track in London. Municipal governing bodies out in Ari zona have a penchant for prohibiting women from wearing bloomers. Overriding is a frequent cause of in somnia, while the same annoying trouble is often completely cured by cycling in moderation. Polo playing on bicycles is becoming a popular sport with New York wheelmen and matches between rival club teams a) frequent occurrences. Zimmerman to Leave the Track. W. J. Walford, tho manager of A. A. Zimmerman, the bioyclist, says that his racing days will end when he leaves Aus tralia. Zimmerman hod malarial fever in Ceylon and has not since been in his old form. It is stated that upon bis re turn to this country he will manage a bi cycle factory at Freehold, N. J. Ho is president of the company operating the works. CHECKERS AND CHESS.

Kotzebae Conies to Washington After Lon diplomatic JSzperienee. Washington society is said to ba much pleased with M. de Kotzebue, the newly appointed Rus sian embassador, who has recently arrived. In the first place his name is much easier to pro nounce than that of Prince Canta enzene, whom he succeeds. In the next place, he is not only a pol- U. de kotzebue. iehed diplomat, bnt an accomplished society man, -with a beautiful wife and an interesting family. Mme. de Kotzebue did net ac company her husband, as she is ill in Rus sia, but she will probably arrive before the winter is over, and then it is expect ed that the Russian embassy will be a more lively place than it was under the regime of the prince, who, while being a refined and able diplomat, did not care much for social gayeties. Ernest Charles de Kotzebue is abont 57 years old and comes from a prominent and powerful Russian family. He is a very wealthy man and has vast estates in the Baltio provinces. His grandfa ther was a famous Russian naval officer and was one of the first foreigners to en ter Japan. M. de Kotzebue himself has had some naval experience.baving served for three years as a midshipman, but bis wife persuaded him to enter the diplo matic service. He became an undersec retary in one of the foreign legations and has held some important posts. Be is a privy councilor and chamberlain, and his last mission was as Russian minister to tho court of Wnrttemberg. It is understood that he exchanges places with Prince Cantacnzene, who is his cousin, at the latter's reqnest. The new embassador speaks English with no per ceptible accent. His daughter, who is the wife of Count de Rebindor, is a tall, beautiful blond, and his sou is an officer in the Russian army who has just mar ried a very pretty Russian girL His son accompanies him as secretary. HERMIT, SCIENTIST, PHILOSOPHER. Dr. Oswald Has a Roving Commission Frora Nature to find Out Queer Things. Many readers of scientific and popu lar magazines are familiar with the writings of .Felix L.

Dr. Oswald is now living quietly in Louis ville bnt it is probable that his resi dence there is only a temporary one, as he spends most of his time far away from the haunts of men. Besides being a writer Lo is a hermit, scientist and philosopher. Dr. Oswald was bom in Belgium abont 50, years ago, but he was gradu ated from a Russian college, and for many years has been roving abont the earth, always with his eyes wide open and pursuing some sort of scientific study or investigation. He was edu cated as a physician, bnt turned his at tention to natural philosophy, and it was this science that led him to become a wanderer. He is a most prolific and versatile writer and finds a ready sale for his articles. He has visited all sorts of out of the way places and wrote a series of most entertaining articles en titled "Summerland Sketches; or, Ram bles In tbe Backwoods of Mexico and i t .B u i. f vmiuai .aziierioa. juouj uj. urn mgs deal with the laws 01 health, and he is regarded as something of an au thority on this subject.

Mr. mill Mrs. Bailey (Formerly Miss Nargarrt Home) Are in thct'ity and I,AiigEi at tiie Published Acctiaut. Th8 following- appeared in Saturday evening's Leavenworth Standard: It ia announced that Miss Margaret Home, niece of tho liev. Charles Mc xSulty of Kansas City, eloped from there last Tuesday evening with B. A. Bailey of Topeka, They were married in Atch ison. There was considerable romance con nected with the elopement. Mr. Bailey is county surveyor of Shawnee county. The bride is well known in Kansas City where for several years she was soprano in the choir of All Souls' church, Sue is of excellent family and stands high as a soprano." Miss Horn and Mr. Bailey arrived in Leavenworth Tuesday evening on a Bur lington train. They went to the Hotel Imperial and had supper, Mr. Bailey registering as "B. A. Bailey und one, To peka." A man who came up from Kan sas City on the same train with the elon ers said at the hotel that Mr. Bailey al most dragged the young woman into tho train at Kansas City. At first she said she would scream, but he whispered something in her ear and she became quiet for a time. The night clerk at the Hotel Imperial says the couple acted strangely while at the hoSeL The young woman seemed to fear pursuers and was greatly agitated over something. Her conversation with Mr. Bailey as they went to the parlor to await supper was intermittent. Mr. Bailey appeared aggressive and talked in the most earnest manner. He was trying to convince the prospective brida of something that must have been very important. Immediately after supper, it seems, Mr. Bailey went forth to find the probate judge, but allowing the prospective bride to remain at the hotel alone did not suit him, so he soon returned without a mar riage license. Mr. Baiiey and Miss Home left the ho tel and went to Atchison on an early evening train. It was in that city a license was procured and the marriage ceremony performed. While at supper here Miss Home was recognized by a Mr. Davidson of Kansas City. She uttered a suppressed excla mation and soon finished the meal. It is thooghtt his incident was what prevented the couple from getting married here. The following was published in yester day's Kansas City Journal: A special telegram from Leavenworth ays that Miss Margaret Home, of that city, has aleped with B. A. Bailey. Miss Home is a niece of liev. Charles Me Nulty, of this city, and Mr. Bailey is county surveyor of Shawnee county, and lives in Topeka. kj? CODPla arrived in Leavenworth Uat Tuesday evening over the Burling 604: j Kansas Av ton, and took supper at the Imperial hotel. According to the night clerk at the hotel, the young people acted strangely, the young woman appearing to be especially agitated. It is claimed that Mr. B.iiley went immediately after supper to seek the probate judge, but he returned in a few moments empty handed. The couple left on an early train for Atchison, where they were mar ried. Miss Home's family but recently removed to Kansas City from Topeka, where the young lady was a popular choir singer. Both persons are well known in Topeka society. County Surveyor B. A. Bailey and his bride are at 827 Quincy street, where they have rooms. Mr. Bailey hooted at the idea of an elopement. "There is absolutely no truth in any of the stories," said he. ,VVre are both old enough and have been taking care of ourselves long enough to not have to elope. Mrs. Bailey has not even been liviDg with her uncle in Kan sas City for some time, and she was surely tree to do as she pleases," Mrs. Bailey, who was formerly Miss Margaret Home, is a beautiful woman. When she was in Topeke she moved in the best society and was known both for her excellently trained voice and charm ing manners. She came to Topeka from Pittsburg, Pa., where her mother lives. WORSE THAN NEKO. Persecution of Christians Thtt Repeats the History of Ancient Times. New YoRK.Feb.10. Sixty-two bishops of the Protestant Episcopal church in tho country, have sent petitions to the archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Anglican church, and through the var ious ministers of foreign affairs to the czar the president of France and the emperors of Germany and Austria. In their letter to archbishop of Canterbury the bishops de clare a crusade supported by Chris tians the world over would be truly war ranted, and plead that the great Church of England, shall take decisive action. To the great powers the prayer that in the name of Christ they come to the aid of the persecuted brethren, who are suffer ing from persecution worse than the Roman emperor ever perpetrated, worse than the martyrs or the early church en dured.

Our Partisan Police Force One in Jail for Murder, FOUR DISMISSED FOR STEALING, One Suspended tor Steins; Drunk and Absent From His Beat la This Po lice Force Any Better Tban Hank Iiindsey'sT The board of police commissioners at their session Saturday night discharged three policemen and cut another off the extra list for stealing and drinking beer, but allowed the sergeant who had charge of the night force and. who not only knew of the occurrence, but helped drink some of the beer at tho station, off with a reprimand. The action of the board was the dis charge of Patrolmen W. G. Hobson and 3. C. Johnston, Special Officer George Matthews and John Haisch, extra. Reprimand Sargeant Frank Ellison and Night Jailer Hopkins. Frank Foster, the president of the board was in favor of the discharge of Ellison and the vote stood two to one. Dr. McCabe voting with Commissioner Holliday, the Democratic member. The police board needs a change. The officers did not deny that they had stolen the beer. It was also admitted that two nights la3t week beer was taken from Frank Durein's cellar and carried to the police station where it was drank. The first time Night Ser geant Ellison was present and helped drink the beer without hinting to the of ficers that they had done anything but their duty. The second time Sergeant Ellison was not on duty. Such an infraction of the rules on the part of a police officer in charge would not be tolerated in any city in the country bnt in Topeka where we have a partisan police force and a weak-kneed board of police commissioners. The third rule under which the police force is governed is as follows: "The use of intoxicating liquors by policemen is positively forbidden, and any policeman who enters a drinking house, or a gambling house, or a house of ill-fame, or any other house of evil re sort, except in the performance of his official duty, will be discharged," The fact that the police force is sadly demoralized is apparent, but still men are appointed policemen to protect the lives and property of citizens of Topeka as a reward for political services. Chief of Police Wilkeraon is handi capped in the enforcement of the law by a police forco which was not ap pointed because the members would make good officers but because some politicians said they should be ap pointed, The commissioners appointed the wrestler. Jack King, and ex-policeman Henry Bernard on the force. Bernard used to be a good officer, and King has sufficient muscle to make one, if he has judgment, which time will determine. With one policeman in jail for murder. 1 four removed for stealing and one tem porarily dismissed for drinking and be ing absent from his beat it ougnt to be pretty clear to the citizens of Topeka that a partisan police forco is us great an evil in Topeka as it is in New York. When policemen are given their posi tions for political services or because some friend has "influence" to put them there, they will inevitably neglect their duties because they do not hold their places thrungh merit. The attempt to make the police force ail Republican has proved as disastrous as the attempt to make it all Populist This police force has proved as dis graceful as Hank Lindsey's; it isn't a whit better. This is the natural result of partisan politics in municipal matters. The people of Topeka ought to learn a lesson from this, even the most blindly partisan. We do not want a police fore 3 that is either Republican. Populist, Dem ocratic or Prohibitionist, but one com posed of capable men selected regardless of politics. Patrolman Henry Steele and a great many others who were on the old force should never have been discharged to make places for members of ward Republican clubs.

KANSAS DELEGATES HOTEL C hair m an BIcbardson Selects Quarters For Flfcy People at tbe I.eland Motel. Chicaoo,- Feb. 10. The Kansas dele gation was located at the Leland hotel yesterday by John S.

I am inclined to the opinion, however, that Morrison will get our delegation. The central committee will meet on February 2S, to call the con vention. Wa shall have a fight in the convention on the silver question. On the surface it looks as if the free silver men had a majority, but I think we shall send a divided delegation on that issue. In the national convention I expect the antt free silver men to write the platform, but I doubt if they get the required two thirds to nominate. "What is going to happen then?" he was asked. i'Nobody knows." CECIL RHODES DEPARTURE Lesvu London Secretly For South Africa, and Surprises People. London, Feb. 10. The Hon. Cecil Rhodes, formerly premier at Cape Col ony, started for Buluwayo today. His departure was managed very quietly. He will go to South Africa via the Suez canal. The duke of Abercorn, president of the British chartered South African company, and a few friends were the only people who saw Mr. Rhodes off. It is under stood that he. will return to England for the trial of Dr. Jameson, which will take place in June next. The sudden departure of Mr. Rhodes for South Africa was a surprise,. it is said, to the colonial office. The Pall Mali Gazette this afternoon mentions the report that Mr. Rhodes went away in order to defeat any attempt upon the part of the house of commons to stop him from leaving the country, THE FAD IE WASHINGTON. Men Should Attend Afternoon Teas and Functions In Business Dress. Washington society is enjoying a fad that has spread rapidly and has taken a firm hold. It is regarded now as the proper thing for a man to attend afternoon teas and other like functions dressed in ordinary rough and ready business clothes or even in an outing suit. During the entire social season men- hnvo been noticed making afternoon calls dressed in sack suits and colored shirts, and while at first they woro looked upon as being from the country they are regarded now as tho early disciples of a new cult. On last Thursday, at the bouse of a western senator, celebrated for his wealth and lavish hospitality, the young man em ployed as tho mentor of the senator's wife in social matters was here, there and ev erywhere in the great parlors with his bi cycle "trousers guards" still attached to his ankles and his feet incased in russet shoes. Two guests from a western city, in leaving tho house, commented on the young man's appearance, and one of thorp criticised his apparent lack of good breed ing. His friend explained, however, that this young man was employed by tho sen ator's wife at a hi3h salary to manage so cial affairs in her household as they should be managed, and that he was present in his bioycle clothes for the very purpose of advertising the fact that the tea or recep tion or whatever the hostess' guests might choose to call her regular Thursday at home was Intended to be an entirely un conventional affair, according to the new code of etiquette, and she hoped this would be understood by a glance at the social dictator's appearance and behavior with out tho necessity of advertising it. New York Sun. THEY LIKE HIM. Senator Bill Acknowledges That He Gets on With Women. If any one could have seen Senator Hill ii the ruarblo room of the capitol the other day, surrounded by a bevy of woman lighters, there would have been no doubt as to his popularity with the ladies. They chattered around him, asking him all sorts of questions as to the prospects for recog nition in a statute of their right to vote. Many of them knew him personally, for they were tho New York contingent of the convention now in session, and they had t?od the corridors of tho capitol at Albany on the same suffrage mission. "Oh, I get along with them all right," laughed tho senator, as some one spoke to him about his visitors after they had de parted. "You know I appointed tho first woman notary in the state of New York. You didn't? Well, you see, you have learned something of my good work for the advancement of the women."

Is It really possible for the bicycle to beat a railroad train? This would be the highest achievement of all for tbe wheel, and six strong lunged and muscular leg ged riders will next season endeavor ta accomplish it. They will be speeded against the Empire State express on a new sextet wheel which has been built. It is a big contract to run away from the fastest moving train on tbe earth. Bicycle people, however, the practical manufacturers no less than tho general whoel enthusiasts, believe that the rubber heeled steed can be built to got over ground more rapidly than any other ani mate or inanimate thing that moves. A highly important factor in this race wilt be the track. This will be built as smooth and level as human ingenuity oan make it in order to give the riders equal chances with the iron horse. The oom- pany of cycle manufacturers who have built this wheel will be ready before the 1st of May. Then they will throw down their gauntlet to the giant of the rails for a half mile dash. The bicycle that has been thus named is said to be the largest in tbe world. Its length overall is 13 feet, and its "water line," or wheel base, is something under a foot less. It weighs 137 pounds, giving crnch rider about 23 pounds in addition to his own weight to propel. The wheels have only two inches more of diameter than those of the average bicycle that is, they are 30 inches across. The tires are said to be the largest ever mado. They are 2Ja inches in diameter. And the gear, wherein lies the secret of its phenomenal velocity, has been compounded to 15-3. Think of it, ye bicyclers, geared at 1581 This is the simple description that tells the whole tale, at least to experts. To the lay mind, however, these few figures fail to explain just why the maohine is re garded by many people who examined it at tho late bicycle show as one of the great mechanical marvels of the age. What give3 it its extraordinary speed?, when mounted by expert riders, is its wonderful goar. It is a compound gear, constructed with four driving sprockets. The largest sprocket, tho one nearest to the rear wheel, has 28 teeth the next largest has 28, tbe third 14 and the smallest driving sprocket 9 teeth. To calculate tho gear you must multiply the product of the two large sprockets by the diameter of the wheel. Then you divide this by the product of tho two smaller sprockets, and you have as the gear 153. When you are told that it Is Impossible to construct any form of vehicle propelled by man power that will exceod tho maxi mum of speed of the sextet, you are natu rally disposod to question the accuracy of the statement and to argue that if six men can manipulate a machine that goes in finitely faster than a wheel mounted by a single ridor, therefore an apparatus de signed for ten men must be correspond ingly more rapid than the sextet. The invontor of the Empire express' rival de clares that yos: are wrong and demon strates its technicality. He says that it is impossible to construct a machine for more than six men that will not lose in velocity for each added saddle or sprocket beyond six. He has tried it, ho says, and finds that any further exten sion of the length between the wheels makes it absolutely unreliable. It will wabble, be declares, beyond any possibility to prevent. To correct this wabbling re quires such an extreme speed that it is impossible to get a gear high enough to offect the necessary velocity. Therefore tho man who designed the bicyolo built for six believes ho has struck the nail on the head, and that it is not in human nature to outclass his machine. The inventors of tho sextet declare that no expense has been spared in perfecting the design of this wheel. They say that the pneumatic tires alone cost $600, being made with rubber walls three-quarters of an inch thick, leaving an air chambcr,pne inch in diamoter, made to withstand an air pressure of C20 pounds to the square inch. The six riders will be men of even weight, about 145 pounds. The traok will be about six miles of a straightaway road, parallel with the route of the Now York Central's flier. There is such a level stretch a short distance west of Albany, and if the ground can be secured the track will be laid out there. Six straight miles at least are necessary. It is estimatud that it will require at least two miles for the sextet to get properly started, and that after the half milo has been run against the express train from three and a half to four miles will have to be gone over before the sextet can be stop ped. The riders will be supplied with a pat ent breathing apparatus attached to an air chamber, from which each man, having his nose and mouth closed oil against the wind, will be obliged to respiro from start to finish. The inventor believes the sextet can cover a mile in 35 seconds. If it can, it will stand a fair chance of winning the race. New York World. Her Double on Canvas. A big sensation is the result of a coinci dence in the appearance of a picture painted by Karl Kappes, a well known artist, to Miss Georgia Gordon, one of the handsomest young ladies in Zancsville, O. The picture is in tbe annex of tbe Chit tenden hotel, at Columbus, and was seen by a traveling man, who, seeing Miss Gordon, referred to the fact in such a manner that tho young lady's mother heard of it. The report that Miss Gordon posed for the picture acquired some cir culation, and this rendered the mother ex ceedingly wrathy. She consulted attor neys and went to Columbus. A dispatch from there Bays she was in the city inquir ing into the matter. The artist says he painted the picture from a French model and gave it an ideal head, but tho likeness to Miss Gordon is so striking that Miss Gordon's closest friends are surprised at its exactness. Cleveland Plain Dealer. General Grant In the Mexican War.

FOUR TOWNS WANT IT. Emporia, Salina, Abilene and Hntohinso Seek tbe Fopulist Convention. There are now four Kansas towns bidding for the Populist state convention. These towns are Emporia, Salina, Abi lene and Hutchinson. The last application is from Hutchin son? Chairman Breidenthal of the Populist state central committee is in receipt of a communication from the Commercial club of that town asking for the convention and promising that peo ple of that town will do all in their power to make the convention a success if it is sent there. At the meeting of the Populist state central committee to be held here r ri- day evening it is expected that there will oe large delegations from Abilene, sa lina, and Emporia to ask for the conven tion. It is understood that Salina will send a whole car load of business men to pre sent the claims of their town. TUNNEL UNDER THE RIVER Gen. Sooy Smith Advocates Going Un der Kather than Over the Oclroit. Cleveland, Feb. 10. Geo. William Sooy Smith, of Chicago, in a letter to Harvey D. Goulder, general counsel of the Lake Carriers' association, advocates the building of a tunnel under the De troit river instead of a bridge across it. He estimates the cost of such a tun nel at three millions of dollars, saying that a bridge, exclusive of right of way and land damages, would be four mil lions. In conclusion, he says: "Believing-, as I do, that a tunnel is in every way preferable to a bridge, I cannot conceive what good reason the railroad companies that must furnish the means to build the crossing can have for building an inferior structure when the better one will surely cost at least 25 per cent less.

PICK SMITH'S ICE BOX. It Was Beautiful lint Was Entirely Too itie. Pick Smith's face is pale and wan and thin. His hair is grayer than it was. Recantly Pick decided that the ice, box at the Elks room was not large enough aud they would have to have a larger one. So he sat up one night and measured it himself and decided that he would have to have an ice box about six feet wide by eight feet long by five feet high. it was completed Saturday and when the varnish on it was all dry Mr. Smith stood off and gazad at it from all sides in satisfied admiration. It was delivered at the Masonic build ing on the third floor of which the Elks rooms are and the men took it in to the hall. It is there now. It won't go up stairs by several inches; it won't go into the elevator by several feet, and even if it was up stairs it could not be put in the Elks door unless the door was enlarged or the box sawed in two. The only thing left to do is to have the building remodeled and Pick will begin figuring with an architect today. DIAMONDS FOB, NOliBICA. Admirers or the Songstress to Give Her a Tiara.

SA1 FASHIONABLE COSTUMES. Velvet Skating Costume Medici Collars and Melon Sleeves. Now that rinks of artificial ice are be coming common skating is growing rap Idly in favor as a pastime, and skating costumes are of more importance than they once were to the majority of wors!4ri. In Paris velvet is the principal fabric em ployed for. these gowns, velvet being un derstood to include velveteen and kindred materials. English women prefer tailor made costumes, as a rule, and braiding In the military style is beginning to be the fashionable style of trimming for them. All the newest cloth jackets have the medici collar and are double breasted, fastening high at the Deck. The melon sleeve i9 largely employed for jackets of velours dii nord, each seam being covered with jet trimming, the same adornment being carried down the seams at the back of the jacket. The stago success of "Trilby" in Ion don has produced the Trilby costume for wear'off the boards. It is of bright violet cloth and has a long coat with cloth epau- ROSE RED COSTUME. Ists edged by gold fringe. The coat is drawn in at tho waist by a cloth belt fas tened with a golt buckle, and the buttons are covered with black and gold thread.. Fancy velvets are much used for short opera wraps, blouses and Louis Quinze ooats, as well as for trimming. Stripes seem to command the greatest favor. Black and whito in combination con tinue to bo very fashionable, and many leading designs devote special attention to costumes of this kind. Princess and redingote costumes are seen more and more frequently and are exceedingly becoming to stout figures. Thero aro many ingenious ways of arrang ing tho trimming to enhance the slender effect of those one pioco gowns, and it is probably only the fact that they are not as generally useful as two piece costumos that prevents them from being largely worn.

Apparent Tendency to Simplicity Indica tions of Smaller Sleeves. It looks as if there were to bo a return to slender simplicity again, for some of tho exclusive novelties in jackets are tight fitting aud without revers or a large col lar; also sleeves fitting close to tho arm are seen in several of tho newest models of bodices. If sleeves are really to decidedly diminish and tho present large masses of trimming to bo omitted from the corsage, skirts must of nocessity become smaller in ordor to keep in harmonious proportion to tho upper part of the figure. The tond doncy of rioh materials is always toward plainness of make, and tho magnificent goods now worn will quite likoly give an impetus in the direction of simple styles. The Mario Antoinette fichu, which has been so much worn this winter on house and evening gowns, will probably be seen largely on summer gowns of muslin, naln- girls' costumes. sook and thin silk. It is graceful and very becoming to slender figures. The fichu may bo made of the same goods as the gown or of net, nainsook or iace. Tho shape that passes around the waist and ties behind is less attractive than thoso that fuston in front with large or short ends, because the wrapping of so much loose fabrio around the figure makes it look clumsy. The illustration shows two new cos tumos for girls. The first, for a girl 12 yoars old, has a godet skirt of moss green velveteen with yellow and red plaid lines. The blouse bodice is of white liberty satin and is very full. Bretelles, epaulets and bands of black velvet form the trimming, aud there is a double belt of black velvet. Tho second gown, for a girl of 14 years, has a godot skirt of mordore velveteen adorned with two bands of pink satin rib bon, which terminate on each side of the tablier under large paste buttons. The. blouse bodice of pink liberty satin is gath ered on a yoke of white embroidery and is ornamented with bretelles of mordore vel vet tied on the shoulders. The collar is of mordore velvet, as are the bs which finish the balloon elbow sleeves. Tbe pink ribbon belt is tied at the side with long loops and ends. Judic Ohollet.

Over fifty that I know of have used No-To-Bac through my influence, and I only know of one case where it did not cure, and then it was the fault of the patient 1 was 64 year old last week.

Tchonang Tsen of the country of Sonng was n learned man who carried his wis dom so far as to detach himself from all perishable things. He had avoided the error so common to mankind of struggling to acquire useless riches and Tain glories or honors. Be must have been profoundly satisfied with his career, for after his death he was proclaimed as happy and worthy of envy. Now, in the days the gods accorded him to pass under green, skies amid flowery bashes, willows and bamboos Tohouang Tsen was accustomed to walk dreamily I through the country. yjue aay, wnen wanaeruig aiong wo flowery slopes of the mountain of Nam Hoa, he found himself unexpectedly in the middle of a cemetery, where the dead, ac cording to the custom of the country, re pose nnder hillocks of beaten earth. At the sight of theses innumerable tombs which spread above the horizon the learned man meditated on the destiny of man. "Alas!" thought he, "Behold thehighway where all the roads of life end. When once one has taken a place in this resting place of the dead, one never sees the light of day again." As he was moralizing thus be suddenly perceived a young woman in mourning garb that is to say, in along white seam less robe of coarse material seated beside a tomb, fanning with a white fan the earth of a freshly covered funeral mound. Curious to learn the meaning of so strange an action, Tchonang Tsen saluted the young lady with great politeness and said: "Madame, dare I ask yon without of fense what person is sleeping beneath this tomb and why yon give yourself so much trouble to fan the earth that covers itf "I am a philosopher and like to know the causes of things, and here is one that escapes me, tbat I cannot even guess at." The young woman continued to move her fan back and forth. She blushed, lowered her head and murmured a few words that the good man could not hear. He renewed his question several times, but in vain. The young woman took no further notice of him, and it seemed as though her very soul had passed into the hand that was so busily moving the fan. Tchouang Tsen went his way regretful ly. Although he well knew that all is vanity, he was naturally inclined to seek the motive of human actions, and particu arly those of women. This little creature's odd occupation aroused within him a malevolent but live ly curiosity. He continued his walk slow ly onward, but turned his head occasion ally to watch the fan, which still beat the air like the wing of a huge butterfly, when all of a sudden an old woman, whom ho had not seen at first, approached him and made a sign to follow her. She drew him into the shadow of a mound a little higher than the rest and said to him: "I heard you ask my mistress a ques tion to which she made no reply. I will satisfy your curiosity, from a natural wish to oblige and in the hope that you in re turn will give me the wherewith to buy from the priests a magi) paper which pos "besses the power of prolonging my life." Tchouang Tsen drew out his purse and nlaced a nioce of monev in har hand, and f the old woman spoke as follows: The lady that you saw seated beside a tomb is Mme. Lu, the widov of a learned man named Tao, who died 15 days ago after a long illness, and the tomb is her husband's. They loved each other most tenderly, and even when dying, M. Tao could not reconcile himself to their sepa ration, and the idea of leaving her behind in the world in the flower of her ago and i of her beauty was altogether Insupportable to him. However, toward the end he be came resigned, for he was of gentle na ture, and his soul submitted to the inevi table. "Weeping at the head of M. Tno's bed, that she had never left during his entire illness, Mme. Lu called upon the gods to bear witnoss that she would never survive him, but would share his grave even(as she had chared his couch. "But M. Tao said to her, 'Madame, da not swear such a thing as that.' 'At least,' continued she, 'If I must survive you, if I am condemned by the genii to still behold the light of day when you can no longer see it, know that I will never consent to become the wife of another, and that I will never have but one husband, the same as I have but one soul.' "But M. Tao said to her: 'Madame, do not swear that.' 'Oh, M. Tao, M. Tao I Let me swear then that for at least five years 1 will not think of marrying again.' But M. Tao said to her: Madame, do not swear that. Swear only that you will keep my memory faithfully in your heart until the earth shall have dried over my grave.' "Mme. Lu took the oath and the good M. Tao closed his eyes never to open them again. "The despair of Mme. La surpassed all bounds. Her eyes were swollen with weeping and her pretty, soft cheeks were scratched to pieces by her sharp little fin ger nails, but everything passes away, and the torrent of her grief soon spent its force. Three days aftor the death of M. Tao Mme. Lu's sadness had become human. She was told that a young man, a follower of M. Tao's, desired an interview to ex press the grief and sympathy be felt on this sad occasion. She thought it would not be right to refuse him this privilege, and she was correct. She received him with sighs. "The young man was of distingnished tearing and handsome face. He spoke to her a little about M. Tao and much about hersolf. He told her she was charming and that he felt he loved her. She allowed him to talk. He promised to return soon. In the meantime Mme. Lu, seated beside her husband's funeral mound, where you saw her, passes her time in drying the earth which covers his tomb with the air stirred up by her fan." When the old woman had finished her story, Tchouang T6en thought: "Youth is short, the incitement of de sire gives wings to young women and young men. After all, Mme. Lu is an honest young person, striving to keep her promise. It is an example worthy to pre sent to the whito women of Europe." From the French. Begga' German Salve. Beggs' German Salve.

Postofficr, Ton, May bo Established for tha President. Buzzard's Bay, Masa, Feb. 10. When President Cleveland returns to his sum mer haunts his mail will be sent to Gray Gables, for a project is on foot, wliich bids fair of realization, to have a post- omce ot mat name in the section of the town where is the president's villa. Then, too, the president will have Heht to guide him homeward from inland nshiug trips. The Ladies' Village Im provement society several winters ago began a series of entertainments in the village hail, the proceeds of which es tablished a street light fund. Not enough money for lighting ttie main uignway was uerivea. so trie entertain' zuents were continued in the sum' mor, the Jeffersous contributing to tnem. J-.aat year it was round desira ble to extend the lights to Gray Gables, so there has been an extra hustle, a change of the name of the society with a viow to increasing tne interest m the project and two eutertainments a week the last month. The fund is now bulg ing the treasurer's pockets, and there will he ligut at Uray Gables for sure. The president intends to cultivate his farm more extensively this year, and has purchased a new farm wagon and a lot ot agricultural implements. The yacht itu'.n, tne president s favorite boat, is be ing hauled upon the ways. PROHIBITION YS. BEER. Robert Schilling Has Challenged Airs. UoiiL'ltr for a Debate. Milwaukee, Wis. Feb. 10.

At present their trip through the south is planned to terminate at New Orleans and from that city the cardinal and arch bishop will go direct to Santa Fe, After a brief stay at the home of the arch biehop they will come to Denver, and will remain the greater part of a week. A. H, Nooney, a prominent political worker and the senior member of the plumbing firm of A. H. Nooney Co., announces himself as a candidate for councilman from the Fourth ward. Mr. Nooney lives at 619 West Fifth St. When asked on "what .issue he is running, he said: "Well, I believe the city should get something out of the franchises granted mad I want to do all I can to help along the Fall Festivities. I don't be lieve we should look to Kansaa City for this kind of entertainment for Topeka and Kansaa when we are able rt carry oat a programme of our own." I 7 H S I 2L VU C I AMONG THE RAILROADMEN Change in the flanagement of the Howard Branch. ARKANSAS CITY MAS ARRESTED For Drawing Pay From ttae Santa Fe for "Straw" ilea. There is a ramor afloat anion J ;he Santa Fe employes that another change is to be made in railway circles. This time it is the management of the Howard branch, which runs between Emporia and Molina. This road has always been under the management of the eastern division of the road, with headquarters in Topeka. The change which is about to take place locates headquarters at Chanute, where the main orhces ofthe Southern Kan sas division are located. This will effect this city in no way, in as much as all the office work has been done at Topeka. In connection with this change another one is to take place, viz., the Panhandle division, running from Wellington to Panhandle, Texap, will be changed from the Southern Kansas division to the southern division of the Santa Fe. STILL WITH THE! FRISCO. Aldace F. Walker lixplalns His Present Position. 8t. Louis. Feb. 10. Receiver Aldace F. Walker of the St. Louis and San Fran cisco railway, who likewise occupies the position of chairman of the board of the new Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe rail way company, sent the following dis patch to tne Globe-Democrat from New York: To the Globe-Democrat, St. Louis: Your reporter here today asked me-'tf 1 had resigned as receiver of the Frisco in view of my connection with the reor ganized Atchison company. I answered no. Lest you be misled in this matter you should also know that a majority of the Frisco bonds secured by the mort gage under foreclosure are held by the Atchison committee and its friends. In the Atlantic and Pacific case the condi tions were reversed, as the Atchison in terests hold none of the bonds controll ing the property. All indicating point to the harmonious reorganization of the Frisco under the pending suit. Aldace F. Waiker, BREW PAT FOIt "STRAW MEN." Arkansas Cltr Man Arrested for Working w Fradaleat Schema on the Santa Fe, Officer Wiley of the Santa Fe, and Marshal Nash of Arkansas City, have arrested Alexander Shields upon the charge of aiding L. IT. McKenzie, form erly road master on the Santa Fe, in car rying "straw" men upon the pay rolls and obtaining money. The arrest of Mr. Shields,who is a prominent church mem ber, was n grevious surprise to his friends at Arkansas City. Detectives have been working for some time on the ca6e. The road will attempt to prove that Shields cashed a $5J check last July at Perry, O. T., drawn in favor of William Shields and countersigned by L. U. McKenzie, road master. At tba; time no such person as Wjlji.m Shields was in the employ of the,, road. A few weeks ago L. U. McKenzie left the employ of the Santa Fe and .went to work for the Choctaw railway, ile was arrested last Thursday night at Shawnee. O. T., but made his escape from the officers. Shop Close Another Ilalf Day. All branches of the mechanical depart ment of the Santa Fe, with the excep tion of the roundhouses, at ali points along the road were closed Saturday afternoon, as they were the previous Saturday. Although this h:i3 not' yet been made a permanent feature, it wiil continue until the reductions in the work iug force are completed. THE NEW WOMAN PliAISEl). Ir. Carlos Martyn Livei Her, Bloom ers and Al 1. San Francisco, Feb. 10. Dr. Carlos Martyn craated a sensatiou py his ad dress on the "New Woman." Dr. Mar tyn among other things, said: By the new woman, I understand, not a slangy edition of young America who has stolen her brother's ciothes uud who apos his vices, .but a woman athrob with new feelings and aglow with new thoughts, expectant with new hopes, sober with new responsibilities, broaden ed with new expectations and healthy with the new activities of this last de cade of the nineteenth ceatnry. This is the real new woman the old in a new and enlarged environment. For my part I hail even the bloomer. There is common sen.se in it, and is something never before found in Woman's dress. The Chinese women in the strei ti of ban Francisco are more sensibly dressed for outdoor locomotion than thousands of women who are gowned as fashion decrees. Old-fashioned people looked with ter ror upon this appearance of the new wom.n. Let us possess our souls with patience; it will be found that the new woman is only the old one with larger ideas. The home will sur vive, sweetheartship will survive, mar riage will survive, motherhood will sur vive. These are in her nature. No out- ward changes can reverse the feminine function of the feminine disposition. Dr. Martyn answered elaborately the scriptural objection, and maintained that St. Paul himself was a good woman suffragist. 1NGEKS0LL TO DEFEND. lie May Be Mayor Hatlhlnsen's Counsel In the Sunday Clou in 3 Case Peru, la, Feb. 10.

IBs Result of "Gaaeral" Randall's Idaal Town In Michigan. General John H. Randall went upon the steppes of northern Michigan to found on ideal town. It was going to be unlika anything on earth. The prospectus made riches easy. It figured that each man should be healthy, wealthy and wise; eat terrapin for dinner, wear whito shirts and sleep on hair mattresses. People came from nil over the country to join the circle and form part of the model community in which co-operation was to settle all the ills of existence. There was a common granary, equal division of all holdings, and all summer the "general" and his followers heralded the glories of Hiawatha. "General" fiandall has returned to Chi cago. He Is wiser. He learned one lesson when be led 600 hobos in the Cosey move ment. This is his second. There has been the first annual division of the result of a year's wosk in municipal co-operation. Tho 60 families and the lot of single men who honed to find a rosy path to independ ence are strandod. They have 4, GOO bush els of potatoes as the result of the sowing and reaping among pine stumps and brambles. Michigan towns are sending them clothing. "General" Randall declares there is noth ing wrong with the plan. Human nature is not built right. His next excuse for tho failure is the fact that Hiawatha is 14 miles from anywhere. This is the distance which the 4,000 bushels of potatoes must be hauled. They are worth 10 cents de livered at the station. The thermometer rarely gets higher than 60 degrees in tho shade, and in the winter the sociological reformers dare not step outside to see how low it is. It was averaging about 25 de grees when tho "general" buttoned up his ulster and came to Chicago to think op some other scheme of making two and two result in more than four. The remaining Hiawathans have gone into sand pits to prevent freezing to death. They have about them some 700 acres and a few clothes. The man are holding time checks for work, to be paid when the har vest was sold. Corn and wheat tried to get a living from the soil, but starved in their infancy. So the net result of the ex periment of running a co-operative town is 4,000 bushels of potatoes at 10 cents, 14 miles from the railroad, and a good lesson to "General" Randall and his associates. Chicago Times-Herald. S0H00L FOB MOFKETS. Calcutta's Novel Institution Xor Our Speechleas Relatives. There has just boen founded at Calcutta an institution for the education of mon keys. Probably the prime movers of tho affair never heard of Professor Garner, the celebrated American simiologist, who has again gone to Africa to make an exhaust ive study of the language of monkeys, or else tbey have deemed it easier to teach the monkeys than to learn from them in simian tongue. At any rate, one of the methods employed In this strange educa tional institution is the following: A young monkey is taken, and before him is placed a set of blocks on which are painted in capitals the letters of the al phabet. These blocks are, in fact, exactly similar to those which children play with in every civilized country in the world, and they are used in precisely the same way as if tho monkey were a young speci men of the human race. There is one professor for each monkey, and the mon key is taught by means of the blocks to spell certain words. If the word is "fruit," for example, the monkey, after having been taught to arrange tho blocks so as to spell the word quickly and with out error, received a bit of fruit as his re ward. The fame exercise is repeated with other words, and it is hoped that in time tho simians will learn how to read and spell and understand English if they can not speak it. Only young animals are taken, for they learn more quickly than old ones. Thei-o is no danger of this queer school lacking scholars, for there are thousands of mon keys to be found in that part of India where Calcutta is situated. An effort will also bo loado. it is said, to educate theso beasts so that they may become fair ly efficient domestio servants. The school is so young as yet, however, that what it wiil accomplish is entirely a matter of speculation.
