Senator Ben jamin Tillman will leave Washington Thursday night for his western tour. Among tb.e cities in which the senator is booked to speak are St. Louis and Denver. This tour is designed to brine: Ser.atorTilimnn forward as a candidate for the presidency. Senator Tillman's friends have been doing some close figuring and they claim to be ready to show the Chicago convention that with Senator Tillman as the nominee he will be sure of l.Scb l'opulitic votes and of r,an.(n,i sil ver Republican votes. Should the free siiverites d-'initiate the convention and Senator Tillman be selected as their standard bearer a bolt of the sound money Democrats and the nomination of a sound money candidate is expected This, in fact, is what is desired, for with an eastern s-und money Demo crat in the held and a Kepub-iiean nom inee on a sound money platform. Till man will then have his opposition di vided and Ids own forces solidified. Shouid the free siiverites fail. however. t- ttet control of the Chicago conven tion, tiie purpose of the Tilimanites is to make the silver vote as large as possible, and have him put forward as the nominee of the free silver and Pop uhstie convention in St. Louis. If the expectations of SenatorTiilman and his admirers are realized in re spect to the popularity his advent in I the west will biing him. he is prepared on his return to Washington to furnish a grand climax to his campaign. It will be in tlie form of a speech in the senate on the subject of the Pacific railroads. The senator has been devot ing a great deal of time to a thorough study of the subject, and he is confi dent that his efforts will far surpass that by which two months ago he star tied tlie entire country. M'K IN LEV BUTTONS. The Flambeau Club Will Keplenish Its Treasury and Boom McSinley. "Candy Jim" and other venders of eampaien buttons, particularly of tlie M-i--i:;ley variety, wiil not find their busi!,.ss so good since the action taken by the Republican Flambeau club Ian night.

The members have the exclusive sale of this button in Shawnee county and expeet. to do a good business. A large number of the officers of the club were not present at last night's meeting, as the "High Jinks" of the Kiks proved a greater attraction, but the club did business nevertheless. A dance will be given by the club Fri day evening. April 17. at Hamilton hall and it is believed a large sum will tie realized from this source. The monev re eived from this dance will go into th-? uniform fund. Senator W. E.

Another State Meeting Here Be sides the Cattlemen. The First Kansas State Co-Operative Congress IS HOLDING SESSIONS In the City and Discussing Co operative Work. Two Hundred and Fifty Dele gates Expected. Topeka has any number of conven tions and public gatherings, but never before has there been such a gathering as is row in session at Lincoln Post hall on East Sixth street. This new gathering is known as the "First Kansas State Co-operative con gress"and its session began this morn ing, and will last until Saturday night. The convention or "congress" is composed of delegates or representa tives from all over Kansas. and though the attendance today is not very large, only about 75 persons being on hand, fully f.-,y are expected by Sat urday, by far the most important day, according to the managers of the con-gr-?ss. This congress was called by the State Farmers Alliance at its meeting here last winter and is for tlie purpose of discussing various co-operative enter prises now in existence and prospective. The main object of this congress is to take steps toward a permanent or ganization ami to educate the people along the lines of co-operative reform"; as one of the leading delegates said. This now consists of co-operative stores farms and various other kinds of enter prises. The president of the congress, elect ed this morning, is Joel Reese, of Pratt county, state lecturer for the Kansas Farmers' Alliance. The secretary is O. B.Horton. manager of the co-operative store at Emporia. Both are reformers and have socialistic tendencies. Secre tary Horton satd today in response to a question as to what extent socialism entered into the scheme: "If this were to go out to the worid as a socialistic organization, or if it were understood that that were the ultimate object of this congress, a good many Kansans would undoubtedly be shocked, yet it is true there is something upon a so cialistic basis int ended. Corporati on s are formed for the benefit of their stoek hedders.and so these co-operative socie ties are to be formed for the direct benefit of those interested in the pro ject." The co-operators intended meeting in Representative hall, but the railroad commission and the cattlemen prevent ed this as far as the clay sessions were roncerricKl. It is likely the whole ses sions, night and day will be held in Representative hail after tomorrow. Tonight at 8 o'clock in liepresenta tive hall Governor Morrill will deliver the address of welcome and a paper on "Co-operation vs. Competition, Paper Credit and Debit" will be read by N. O. Nelson of St. Louis. There is also a paper by S. H. Com ings of St. Joseph, Mich., but the auth or will not be present and the papier will lie read by some one else. Prof. Bemis. formerly of Chicago universi ty, will not be here, but a paper by him wil be read. Among- those in attendance are: J. H. Lathrop, Oberlin, Kan.: N. O. Nel son, St. Louis, Mo.: F. S. Mickey. Heb ron. Neb.; C. H. Custenborder, and L. T. Yount, Topeka, and Mrs. Emma Troudner, president of the state al liance. EXPEL I OMAN CATHOLICS. The Sultan Will Take Decided Action in Asiatic Turkey. Paris, April 9. Considerable irrita tion against Turkey has been ar-fused here by the reports from Constantino ple and London that the Sultan has de cided to expel all Roman Catholics and protectant missionaries from Asiatic Turkey. The newspapers, particularly the Fimiro have taken up the question in earnest as one directly and strongly af fecting Christianity and as calling for prompt and effective action. Tite Fi garo complains of the deception that Turkey officials have practiced upon the world at large in the whitewashing stories of the massacres sent out by the Turkish government and expresses the hope that France will not permit the missionaries to be expelled from Asiatic Turkey. Other newspapers express similar views and hope that the French gov ernment will act with promptness and energy in the matter. SMALLPOX SPREADERS. Cree Indians to be Deported to the British. Northwest Territories. Helena. Mont.. April 9. Finally Can ada has taken official action in regard to Cree Indian matters, and the pres ent outlook is that all frees in the Uni ted States will be deported within the next four weeks. Governor Bit -karris has received a letter from A. T. Traig et. commissioner of Indian affairs for the northwestern territories of the Do minion of Canada to the effect that his government was willing to take charge of all Cree Indians, requesting that the same be delivered to him not later than May 1. As a matter of Internal affairs Gov. Rickards sent Trai get's communica tion to Secretary Olney with the re quest that he accept the Canadian government's proposition. This matter has been under consid eration since IS -a. when Mr. Blaine was secretary of state, ne made special efforts to have the Indians deported. The Cree Indians are charges of Canada, having no reservation of their own. They roam over the countrv, dirty and shiftless, and have spread smallpox all over Montana several times. The northwest contains thou sands of them. Huntington Will Be Re-Elected. San Francisco, April 9. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Southern Pacific Railroad company re sulted in the re-election of the old board of directors without opposition. C. P. Huntington will undoubtedly be re elected president of the company. CLEVELAND FIR3I OUT. They Can Not Have the Bridge Bonds Will Be Sold Saturday. Shawnee county's bonds for the bridge across the Kaw remain yet to be sold. Dietz, Denison Pryor, who bid them in for $155, 355, will not take them. After fooling along for nearly three months waiting for the Cleveland firm to make good their offer, the commis sioners gave them unr'l tomorrow to take the bonds. County Clerk Chas. T. MeCabe this morning received the following telegram sent last night from Cleveland, signed Puetz, Denison Pryor: "Conditions over which we have no control have delayed attorneys' exam ination of legal papers on Shawnee county bond issue for report by Friday. Please be patient a few days longer. When legality of bonds approved we will receive and pay for them at Un ion National tank, Cleveland, O., as per contract." The county commissioners will not wait any longer for Dietz, Denison Pryor. Three months have passed since the bonds were sold. The Cleveland firm did not intend to keep the bonds themselves, but to sell them again. It seems peculiar that they could find no buyer when the de mand for them is really great. This week a number of representatives have been here trying to make arrange ments to buy them. It is said that the commissioners do not intend to fool any longer with bond brokers, but they will deal with pteo ple who want the bonds for themselves and have the money to pay for them. A half dozen or more representatives of big firms who are anxious to buyour paper have been notified to be present Saturday morning when the commis sioners meet, and the bonds will then be sold. The bridge seems to be encountering more than its share of delays, mali cious and otherwise. ONLY $'20,000 CAPITAL. The Currency Committee Report a Bill Requiring Less Capital to Organize National Banks. Washington, April 9. Representative Van Voorhis of Ohio, has reported to the house from the banking and cur rency committee a bill to permit the or ganization of national banks with a capital of not less than J20.000 in cities of 4.0(h) inhabitants. Under existing law the minimum cap ital stock required for the organization of a national bank is $.50,000. In some sections of the country says an accom panying report, there has been a. grow ing neeel for bank issues as well as for other banking accommodations in small towns in which $50,000 cannot readilv be raise 1 for banking rmrposes. In eastern and middle states banks are abundant and in thus--? sections this measure will not be availed of to any considerable extent. Put in the west ern and southern states there is a dearth of banks in many sections, due no doubt to the lack of capital in those sections. NO FISH FOIt LAKE VIEW. The Irate People of Madison Relieve Topeka People of Their Supply of Bass. Assistant State Treasurer Geo. Sew ard, George M. Eagle, J. S. Payne and J. H. Leonard returned today from Madison without the fish which they had hoped to add to the stock at Lake Vitwv. When the gentlemen went to Madi son they took with them Fish Commis sioner Sadler and conse-quently ftdt safe from inte-rruption. Rut when the Greenwood county people found what the Topeka people were doing they were indignant and there was talk of having the entire party arrested. The men went on fishing, however, and succeeded in catching about 150 pounds of bass. They were fixed up ready to ship but be-fore they could be placed on the train some of the irate citizens captured tile cans containing the fish and emptied them back into the Verdigris river. That is why the Topeka pe-ople re turned without their catch of fish. NOT GOLD 1511 K K G Oil DON. The One on the Coast KTot the One Wanted Here, They Say. Sheriff Kepley no longer thinks that the gold brick swindler arrested at Oakland, Cal., is the one who rose to fame in Topeka as Gold Brick Gor don. The sheriff has been in correspon dence with the Binkerton detective agency, and he is informed that the man in California confined his opera tions wholly to the coast. The Pinker tons also say that the man who operat ed in Kansas was arrested a, short time ago in Texas and taken to New Or leans to answer charges there. A let ter has been written to the New Or leans authorities to find out if this is really Gold Brick Gordon. WAS IN THE UPRISING. An American Engineer Will Be Tried at Pretoria for High Treason.

Lamed Presbytery. Kansas City. April 9. A special to the Star from Hutchinson, Kan., says: The Earned Presbytery comprising the southwest quarter of Kansas in session here has elected Eider S. B. Crosby of this city and Rev. J. B. Fulton of Har per, delegates to the general assembly at Saratoga in July. For the first time in its history the Presbytery departed from the custom of electing a preacher modei'ator and selected J. Hanna, a hardware merchant c Sterling British Imports and Exports.

Tells Our Correspondent That the Mystic Brotherhood MAS 0XE THOUSAND Members in His County and Will Cut a Figure In Kansas Politics This Fall That Will Be Unexpected. From Our Special Correspondent. Washington, April 9. Barney Sheri dan of the Paola Spirit, who has been in Washington for the past ten days or so started for home Wednesday. He was accompanied here by his daughter, Linnie. Mr. Sheridan was well pleased with the appointment of J. A. B. Bear as postmaster at Paola for Mr. Bear was the one in whose interests Mr. Sheri dan came on. The appointment of T. Fitzhugh at Kansas City, Kan., didn't suit him so well. When asked about Kansas politics Sir. Sheridan said he believed Governor Morrill would be renominated by the Republicans and that there would be no fusion between Populists and Demo crats. Though he felt sure that Governor Morrill would be renominated he said: "If Troutman should be nominated it w-ould be the case of St. John and Glick over again. "I shouldn't be a bit surprised to see a legislature elected in Kansas this fall which would resubmit the prohibition question. The German voters in the Republican party are solidly in favor of it and while they will stay with the party for ail general offices they will be sure that the man they vote for for the legislature is in favor of resubmis sion. The Republicans, too, are not going to lose the legislature if they can help it and so will see to it that their candidates for the legislature are all right on the resubmission que-stion. "The Mystic Brotherhood is going to cut a big figure in the campaign, too. It is scoffed at and ignored but it will wield a big influence. In my county alone it has 1,000 members and most of them are Republicans." Mr. Sheridan said the national and Kansas Republican platforms would in his opinion declare for "sound" money. Fie was naturally very much gratified in securing the man he wished to be postmaster at Paola. If he is as agree able as Mr. Sheridan the people of Pa ola ought to be thoroughly satisfied.

Lowe's Case Continued Other Criminal Cases. Marcus E. Lowe was to have been tried in the district court today for his murderous assault on George W. Reed, Jr., but the trial of two other cases which jirec-eded it on the docket caused it to be passed until tomorrow morning. The trial of Henry Jordan, a colored young man, for forcibly robbing Airs. Malinda Neviis. also colored, of $4.50 and a silk scarf, took nearly all day. It is claimed that Jordan and Charles; Sneed knocked on the door of David Neviis home on North Van Buren street on the night of January 14 last, and that when it was opened by Mrs. Neviis they rushed in, seized and searched her and made their escape. Neviis carries mail and telegrams for Archie Will iams and the Union Pacific, and he had gone to meet tiie 9:40 Union Pacific west bound passenger train. J-i-bm was arrested by the police at the home of Mrs. Essex from the d. -script ion Mrs. Neviis gave of her assailants. He was in the house covered up with bed clothes. Jordan naturally claims it is a case of mistaken identity. The case to follow was that of the state against Charles Rote, the busi ness college overcoat thief whom Chief Wilkerson caught in Lincoln, Neb. Myerick, his partner, who escaped from the Lincoln chief of police, has never been recaptured. A BUGGY RIDE PLOT. Annie Lamborn Makes a Further Con fession of the Murder of Her Father. Leavenworth, April 9. Annie Ls in born, who yesterday ceinfessed to hav ing helped plan the murder of her rich father, J. T. Lamborn, at Fail Loaf. February 17, and fastened the crime on Thomas Davenport, her lover, up. nt two hours with, her attorneys today in an endeavor to arrive at some sort of a defense. Her confession which is said to give; details of the pilot and murder, is in the possession of Detective Charles Sc-haef-fer of Kansas City, who positively re fuses to make it public, at least at pres ent. Neither of the prisoners would talk today, their attorneys having instruct ed them to remain silent. All ttiat can be gathered from them is that Daven port in killing Lamborn followed an ar rangement made the day previous while taking Annie a buggy ride. The object of the murder was to secure a di vision of the property. after which Davenport was to marry Miss Lam born. Charles Lamborn, according to his sister's confession, knew Davenport committed the murder. MORE CRIME COMMITTED In Five Miles of Carnegie Hall Than in Five Western States, Says Sen ator Mantle. Washington. April 9. Mr. Mantle, (Rep. Mont.) today spoke in the senate on the resolution reeommitirig the tariff bill to the finance committee. There was special interest in the speech from the fa-t that Mr. Mantle was one of the live Republican senators who voted against proceeding with the tariff bill. It was. moreover, his maid en speech of a formal character. He said he hesitated as a young and new member of the senate to address the body but interpretation and misrepre sentation which had been indulged in against the representatives of tiie west ern interests led him to speak. He spoke of the recent utterances of President Cleveland before a. mission ary gathering derogatory to trie west as but one of the assaults made of late against the "rotten boroughs and min ing camps" of the west as the metro politan press designated it. Mr. Man tle declared that within a ra dius of five miles from Carnegie hah. New York, where Mr. Cleveland spoite there was more poverty, ignorance, squalor, starvation, crime and crimi nals than in all of the silver st tt-s combined. He gave statistics comper ing the silver states with five eastern states. showing the former to be abreast and ahead of th-ir eastern sisters in material and moral standing. Mr Mantle said the attacks sprang mainly from the fact that five Republi can senators from the west wen against proceeding with the tariff bill at an inopportune time. Mrs. Irlaybrick'8 Case.

CMUzu's Senator Speaks on the Call Resolution in the Senates Washwutov, April 9. Senator Turpi-e's speech on Cuba was the event of the day in the Senate and in many respects it was the most picturesque and vehement utterance heard on the subject. While arguing for radical action, even to the extent of sending a fleet to Cuban waters, much of Mr. Turpie's speech, was given to sarcasm .nd ridicule of the course of Mr. Sher man and Mr. L' 'ge in managing the Cuban resolutions. The Senator cre ated much amusement by his por trayal of Senator Lodge as a warrior about to fight a duel with Minister Dupuv De Lome of Spain. Most of the day was given to the Indian ap- j propriation bill, which was not com pleted.

F011 HIS SAKE. &jt Amaan Story Told by Tom .'rAoo In Kew York Truth, T feel discouraged." The worn-out husband heaved a deep eig-h aa he sat down -wearily by the table and leaned his head on hia hand. "Yes," he continued, absently fingering a huge pile cf bills that he had just been looking over, "try how I will, I cannot seem to make both ends meet. Just as I get to the point where I begin to see daylight ahead, new ex penses threaten to engtilf me, and thus goes on the usual struggle," "Say no more." While the heavy hearted man had thus ben inveighing against fate, he had not noticed the look of deep joy that had rradually overswept the face of his wife, -who now. rising from her chair, came over to where her husband sat and gently placed her hand on hia head. "Say no more, dearest," she said, a half triumphant echo in her voice; "I have something to tell you which m8y lighten your burden a little. Some months ago I foresaw that the time was approaching when yon might be short of ready cash. With this end in view I determined to save tip on my own account. It was not so easy to do th'- but when T thought of your pale, overworked fce, it gave me renewed courage. And so, dearest, in this way I have manfie-od to save up nearly five hundred dr liars." "Fiv hundred dollars!" exclaimed her husband, frantically jumping to his feet and throwing his arms almost fiercely round the neck of the one who had made such a supreme sacrifice, "and you have done this for my sake?" "Yes. for your rake," she proudly replied, the tears of joy coming to her glad eys: "'just hink, dear, now I won't rnve to ask you for a cent to buy that new sealskin cloak!" Tom Masson in Truth. A HISTORIC BUILDING. The Old Fotortlre at Charleston Has Seen Famous Men. "Among the quaint old structures of Charleston our old postofHce building takes the lend in historic interest," said Mr. James S. Mnrdock, a leading whole sale merchant of the Carolina metropo lis at the Ebbitt to a Washington Post reporrer. Mr. Mnrdock is here with a delegation of his townsmen to ask con gress to make a modest appropriation so as to donate the aforesaid antique edifice to the city. "The old portofRce," said he. "was built of brick imported from England in 1S67 under the direction of a com mittee of the colonial assembly. Ita leading members were John Rutiedge. Henry Laurens and Thomas Lynch, who later took a prominent part in the formation of the republic and whose names will be found among the signers of the declaration of independence. 'During the occupation of Charleston by the British it was used as a prison and between sixty and seventy of the best citizens were confined ther" before their removal to St. Augustine. Fla. In that number was Col. Isaac Haynes of the celebrated family of that name. In revenge for the execution of Major An dre Haynes was led out frora prison and suffered the death penalty by order of Col. Balfour, then in command, with out the formality of a trial. In 1790. when Gen. Washington visited Charles ton, it was in the same old building that he was entertained and a splendid ball was given in bis honor by he wealthy planters of the state, co-operating with the town people. With such historic associations surrounding it our people naturally take a deep inter est in thPir old postofHce. and the idea is to keep it in its original condition as a &acred momenio of the past." Common Senne and Courage. Two young Americans, it is said, re cently settled a quarrel in a fashion which would have made the hair of a Parisian tencing master bidstle with horror, but which nevertheless had an inspiration of common snse in it. They were both in love with the sajce lady and it became necessary to their feel ing that they should fight for posses sion of her. One of the two must clearly be put out of the way. Yet why should they kill each other? They bore each other no malice: each merely wished to be left in sole possession of the lady in dispute. The onestion re solved itself to a simple issue which wa3 the better shot? And they de termined to settle this question by shooting, not at each other, but at a tree. The tree was shot at; the in ferior marksman perforce admitted that h would n-e been annihilated by his rival and agreed to vanish, not by giving up the gh'v. brt hv leaving the country. Here wre all the results of a duel obtained without its mock hero ics and without more tragedy than be longs to sil renunciation. Exchange. Fatriotle Kansas Man.

Foreman of the .lining Gang Was Too Hasty. TIIEEE BADLY HURT, Being Blown 500 Feet Over a CiilT to the River. Over 200 "len "ear the Seene of the Accident. Ogden, Utah, April 9. A terrific explosion, entailiig- the loss of seven lives and the wounding- of several others, occurred shortly after 6 o'clock last evening- in the canyon four miles from this city.

When one looks into the sweet, ear nest face of Mrs. Ballington Booth, it is hard to associate her with the Salvation Army parade, and yet is it not in the spectacular life of this certain form of. religion that she has come to be so wide ly known. People who are her inti mate friends tell of her simple, gen tle life, a constant round of going about and doing good. And it is this sweet humanity which draws hearts to her, not only of the poor, the sad and lone ly, but the women in higher circles. But Mrs. Booth has no time nor liking for the idle amusements of society life, and this was plainly shown when some months ago a few New York women, eager for a new fad or favorite, tried to take her up. Mrs. Booth's repH- was characteristic: "I cannot accept your invitations," she said, gently, "though believe me, I take them kindly. If you care to be with me, come where I go, in to wrenched homes w here a smile and a v i r MTtS. BAT.T.LXOTON BOOTH. word of cheer, or a helping hand is needed, a thousand times more than one more unit in society." If you should speak with a touch of surprise to Mrs. Booth about her fine ly bred manners, and gentle quiet, you would be met by a smiling reminder that although tlie noisy fervor of the Salvation Army is intended and doe,s appeal primarily to those unschooled in suppressing their emotions, yet there is a spirit behind the method which appeals to all. It is Mrs. Booth's gen tle, sunny manner, as well as her mag retisni, refinement and rarely fine edu cation, that makes her work so won derfully successful. She was the daugh ler of a well-known English Episcopal clergyman, and, in a charming home, was tineiy educated by a French gov erness. When her school days were over she wasspendingt.be summer once at an English watering place, where she wa.s brought face to face with the work of the Salvation. Army, and within a few months she returned home to tell her father that she wished to cast her lot with the people w-hose belief was of the heart, not of the head. Her family were bitterly opposed to it all. but she left, and was soon promoted to open the campaign of the Salvation Army in Switzerland, where they met antago nism at every step, and where she was thrown into prison. The British min ister demanded her release, and before it was granted the aiTair became astabe issue. A few years later she married Gen. Booth's son. and tht-y came to America as co-leaders of the Salvation Army. They are naturalized citizens, and in their years of labor here th; w ork they have done is so extensive and has made so many people happy, that it i3 with regret all classes heard the news of their recall. Orange Judd Farmer. SPRING WEAKNESS. A Change of Food Is Necessary at This Season. It usually is essential for the health of the family that the housekeeper make a decided change in her daily meals. If white bread has been the rule, introduce coarse bread made of rye meal or whole wheat, or raham. It is not a difficult matter to raise lettuce in a hot-bed, so that it can be placed on the table early in March of April; a few dandelion seeds sowed with it, and the plants tied up, will introduce with this salad a little of the good tonic bitters of the dandelion plant. Few salads are as excellent and as valuable as those of bleached dandelion leaves and lettuce. Greens of spinach or beet tops ought to be ready for the table as soon as possible. It is time to give up fre-h pork whe March winds blow and introduce more delicate meats. Acids are especially necessary now, and tart cranberry sauce ajid apple sauce and tart spiced fruits should be used in place of sweet canned fruits. The early parsnip is alua'ole at this season, when all the winter roots that have been stored up in the bins are becoming watery' and pithy. Bitter tonic salads and good boiled greens are more agreeable than nauseous doses of spring medicine, such as. old-fashioned women with the best intention used to manufaoture from bitter herbs and sirups.

"I vas com in to dat. You'a see, da countess dat's my gal, ycu knew wanted to be an actress and star in me great five act piay called 'De Livin Pirut of de Dead Sea. Dere's a play fur ye, Cully Yer hair would begin to curl almost before de curtain went up, and ye'd faint dead away wid de cIoko of de first act. De cast takes in 12 char acters and 230 supes, and de 12 of ns formed de Shakespeeriau Dramatic as sociashnn. Besides me dere was Scotty Jack, Busted Joe, Cockeyed Sam, Chirpy Charlie and Fatty Hope. Besides the countess dere was Sassy Jane, Big Sue, Nippin Nell, Bowery Mary and Taffy Aloll. Dat made 12 of ns, aud I'm teliin ye, Cully, dat it took iu all the east side dramatic talent to de last eyebrow. We got together, as I've been sayin, and reuted a hall and got to work." "You were the hero of the play of course?" I queried as he paused to sigh and draw a iong breath. "Of course, Culiy. I was de grand star aroun which all other stars had to twinkle. I was de hero and the countess was de heroine. Say You orter seen us when we had our togs on! De wardrobe alone in dat play calls fur a check of $10,000, aud de ships and cannon and swords and armor fur do supes cost as much more. When I walked across de stage, wid me cocked hat on me ear, me sword in me baud and me red velvet cloak traiin behind, it jest trowed Booth and Barrett right over de fence. I felt de situashnn right yere, Cuily right yere in me soul. Fur de time bein I was de bloodiest pirut dat ever chawed beef, aud if dere had been a huudread peelers around I'd hev given 'em all back talk. And de countess jee whiz! She jest showed born royalty down to her heels, and she looked so sweet dat de pirut hero which was me licked his chops and couldn't think o' iiuthin but peaches aud cream. Ah nm "Well, you rehearsed the play?" "We did, Cully. Da fust two rehear sals went off as slick as fa 11m down ou Broadway. Den Fatty Hope begun to play de mewl. Yon's see, in de secoud act me and me pirut band board a vessel and lick de crew outer deir butes and captur ten boxes of gold. Fatty was my support and captain of de other craft. He didn't want to be licked, be know, atid so he made trubt-la. When we went to captur' him, he licked de hull gang and upsot de programme. 'What's de row?' sez I. 'I won't be licked by no blamed pirut sez ha. 'But it's in de play.' 'Can't help dat. IMe friends will be at de play and roast me if I give in. "I argned with him, bnt he woludn't giveiu. Den Sassy Jane got in de sulks. When de piruts captur' de ship, I take de countess on my left arm, kill two men wid me sword and jump 20 feet on to me own craft. Sassy Jane wanted to be de gal to repose on me arm, and when she couldn't hev her way the went in to bust de grand Ehakespeerian aggre gashun. "They all wanted leading parts, eh?" "Dat was de trnbble, ole man, aud you see it can't be did in a play. Dere's got to be de leadin man and de leadin woman. All de rest has got to stand back and gin 'em a show. In de third act de countess falls overboard and swims to an island and climbs a tree. It's 0D9 of de great incidents of de play and bound to made de etitboosiastic audience riz up ou their feet and howl. Francis Wilson offered me $50,000 fur dat one scene alone, and he shed tears when I wouldn't take it. Well, de coun tess hadu 't done de trick but twice when Taffy Moll got up on her oar about it. She wanted to do de fallin and de climb in act herself. Why, Cully, dat gal weighs 200 pounds, aud ye couldn't git 'nnfl water on de stage fur her to splarsh iu, and as fur climbin a palm tree, she kin hardly git up stairs! When I tried to argue wid her, however, she got mad and kicked de bowsprit off my pirut craft and elapped de countess on de jaw. "And so that was the end?" I asked. "Not quite, cully. I told ye 'bout de birthday party aud de dnkesa bein sent over tode island for a sixty? Well, some one wid a pull got him out de oder day. We was rehearsio dat play, and things was goin tip top, when de ole man walks in on ns at Frog Pond hall. 'What yer a-doinl' he yells as he looks abent. 'Rehearsin me pirut play,' sez I.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 9, 1S96. ALL !S iviiov;:. Annie Laiiiiiorn jlaies a Full Confession Gf tlie Particulars of the Fall Leaf Murder. TTAS TIIOS. DAYEXPORT Who Knocked the Old 3!an in the Head, Tlieu the Brother, Sister and Lover Gaily Danced. I.-EAVKSWOtmr, Kan., April 9. The foul murder cf J. T. La ui born at his tome near Fall Leaf, this county, is co long-er shrouded in mystery. Every detail has been laid bare in a written confession by Loth the son and daugh ter of the murdered man, who were placed in jail here Tuesday night, tosrc her with Thomas Daren port, a lov-r of the yonng- Lamborn girl, nho was jailed at the same time on a sim ilar charjre. Smarting under the horror and dis grace of dingy prison bars, and liar rassed by the belief that one would "peach" on the other, both the boy and the girl made written statements, which verify one another. Calmly and deliberately they wrote of a prearranged plan to put their acred lather out of the way, and liioms 1 iawjiiiort, the lover of the g-iri, was chosen to do the awful deed. Charles Lamborn. the son of the murdered man, is about 'JZ years of and Annie Lamborn. the daug h ter, who bore such an active part m this awful tragedy, is aoout 24 years old. She is of frail physique, not weijrhing- more than ninety pounds. Is'ot ail the details of the crime could be learned, but the following facts from tiie confessions have been made known. They stamp the crime as one of the foulest imaginable. Ac cording to these confessions, after mature deliberation on the part of Charles Lamborn, Annie La alburn and Thomas iur.inport, the night of February 10, !at. was c.iosen as the time that old man Lamborn wa-s to bo killed. The Lamborn house, which is in a secluded place, fronts north on the public road, while There is another road running east and west about one-half a mile north of the Lamborn resilience. Near this east and west road the young- La aiburn g-iri and Davenport had a trystiug place, as old man Lam born did not allow young- Davenport to visit his house or to keep company with Lis daughter. Here at this tryst in.Lr place on the evening of February he Charges and Annie Lamborn met Lavenport, as the three w-ere going to a dance. The brother and sifter told Davenport tUat their father was all alone and it wa-s agreed that the tw should remain there white Davenport should ro to the house and commit the murder. The plan was executed. Davenport rode his horse around to Lamborn's, hitched in front of the house on the public thoroughfare, secured an ax, rained, entrance to the house by repre senting himself to be Charles Lam born and, without delay, proceeded, with the murderous ax, to chop his helpless victim to pieces. Quickly mounting his horse he re ported t 'ae fiendish act to the waiting .son and daughter of the victim and then, accompanied by Charles Lam born, Davenport returned to the Lam born house, where they found and burned a will that had been made by the murdered man. Accomplishing this the two men re turned to where they had left Annie Lamborn and telling- her o what had been done, the three proceeded to the dance and enjoyed themselves as much, apparently, as any of the olUer g-uests. How they returned from the dance, went to bed in the house where their murdered father lay and did not '-discover'' t he remains of tlseir father un til late the next morning, has already been told. Tiie arrest of the two Lamhorns and Davenport was brought about bv the young Lamborn g-iri confiding the secret of the murder to a woman in Lawrence, who often visited at the Lamborn house, as she was a bor rower of money from old man Lam born. Annie Lamborn's love for Daven port, it seems, faded away in contem plating the awful crime to which she bad been an accessory. IJer horror stricken soul needed solace and she cor.fiJed her terrible secret to this woman friend, under a promise of secrecy, soon after the cr:iue was committed. Until very recently, bow frver. this woman kept her own coun sel, under the belief that the gn.ity parties, if known, would be hansel for tao crime. Learning- later that there is no capital punishment in Kan sas, she made a confidante in turn of Mrs. Charles M.aeiTer, who is hTjn,, temporarily at Kansas City. Mrs fshaefi'er told her husband, and it was he who went to Ka'l Leaf, arrested the murderers and placed thaui in jail at this point CA?T. WHITE DEAD.

Pittsburg. Pa., April 9. The bitter reception given by the Pittsburg peo ple to Bob Fitzsinimons here this week will in all probability keep the Au stralian from this town during the rest of his natural life. The storm of hisses which greeted the long fellow when he appeared on the stage at the academy drove him back of the scenes, and he would not appear again until Julian had come out and made peace with the audience. Last night his reception was but lit tle better. The storm of hisses and cat calls which greeted him made the pug ilist turn white with rage, but he kept on his work, making it very short, however. Speaking of his reception af ter the show. Fitzsinimons said: "This is not by any means the first time the people of Pittsburg have given me the worst of it. I have been'mls treated every time I came to your town. Why. I do not know, unless it is because I have beaten your man Maher. I can do it again every morn ing before breakfast. I don't like Ma her. I don't like his backers and I have no love for his town." SAW THE SPLINTER, Cathode Hays Used on a Ball Player's Wrist. Louisville. April 9.

Vance and Stucky took a photograph of Cas sidy's wrist with cathode rays. It was a very successful trial. The young man had been suffering with his wrist for some time and ordinary remedies did not seem to do hirn any goo.l. Then the X rays were thought of. The pho tograph showed that in C'assidy's wrist there is a loose piece of bone a splin ter which moves about in the wrist. This was what caused all the trouble. K very time the wrist got a jar the lit tle piece of bone moved to another part of the member, keeping the wrist very- sore all the time, ter required but a eniove the spliu ;le operation.

MITT'S CHICKENS Stolen Last Night and Found at the Police Station This Horning. Soon after 5 o'clock this morning while Officers Aye and MeE-lroy were standing at Second street and Kansas avenue they saw a man at Jackson street going west on Second street. Cm his shoulders he carried a suspic ious looking sack and the officers called on him to halt. This the man did not do. The officers gave chase and at Van Buren street the man threw his sack over a fence and ran north escaping in the woods at the old waterworks. The sack contained four live chickens and two dead ones, and was taken to the station. About 8 o'clock this morning J. J. Hitt called at the station and made complaint that his hen house had been robbed. "Are these your chickens?" asked Jailer Disbrow. "Them's them," said Mr. Hitt and took them home with him.

Furnished by the Associated Press to the State Journal. Chicago, April 9. On small northwest receipts and firm cables, wheat opened higher at GS'b'r HG-c for May in advance of 1i(s over yesterday's close. The market, however, was dull on a general disposition to await the government crop report. Elevator people w-ere moderate sellers and the market de clined to GCssC after touching 66?4c. Corn and oats were easier, the rains and the weakness in wheat being the cause. Trade was small and largely local. May corn opened 'ic lower at 30'ic. May oats opened at W 19c, also selling down 3rC soon after. Some strength developed at the open ing for hog products, the yard reports having a strengthening tendency.

WHEAT It was a waiting market all day and fluctuations were narrow. Everybody is now waiting on the gov ernment crop report that comes cut to rn o rrow aft era o n The buying was scattered but kept pouring in steadily, and absorbed all offerings that came from the bear crowd. If the government report turns out sensationally bullish, as is looked for by well informed people, there will be an exhibition of fireworks next week and by the latter part of April prices will be soaring among the pictures. Cables come dull and fractionally lower and clearances only moderate. Cash demand continues excellent and heavy engagements of cash wheat were reported. The price current was bul lish and crop reports from several win ter wheat states indicate a low condi tion and decreased acreage. Heavy liquidation caused a sharp break near the close. Corn and oats quiet but firm. The situation in corn is becoming quite strong. Cribbcrs are determined to hold their corn until good prices are to be had and as a consequence receipts are running very light. Provisions were dull and featureless with Cudahy pounding pork but with small success. Today's Range of Prices. Open. High. Low. Close. Wed.

It may be necessary to use the coal hole fund to patch up the old bridge, yet. Let the new city council do every thing openly and above board. Execu tive sessions are dangerous. When the new city council is organ ized it should see that the asphalt pavement is repaired as soon as possi ble. Topeka will entertain the old soldiers j r.ext fall and they may depend upon it There will be no gate keepers in the j way either. i While Topeka is planning for a week of festivities next fall with which to entertain the old soldiers, Leavenworth is talking about holding an Apple car nival. It is only in Topeka that it is possi ble for an election like that of this week to be held. Not a "ward heeler" nor a "party worker" was seen. It was har Eiony unadulterated. Governor Morrill evidently still hopes to capture Shawnee county. The or ganization of a Morrill club of asylum employees in Potwin is the act of a drowning man who catches at straws. "Is rot Grover Cleveland the logical candidate of the Democratic party?" asks the New York World. Judging by the returns which are coming in from Missouri, he is not. Nearly every county in the state has declared for free f..0vfcr. Senator Allen of Nebraska declines the Populist nomination for the pres idency. He says there are others in the party who deserve recognition. "Who are they? It is pretty safe to pay that there is no man now identified with the party who will be made its standard bearer. Their choice will probably lie between Judge Caldwell, Senator Till man and Don Cameron, neither of whom is a member of the party, with the chances In favor of Cameron at present. Unless the unit rule and the two-thirds rule defeat the will of the majority, it is now evident that the Democratic national convention will declare for free silver. Such action would take Tillman out of the list of possibilities. An American eounsul reports that -after eleven years trial, Germany has been unable to do anything- toward ameliorating the condition of the victims of the sweat shop system. As the mat- ter is just being- taken up in this coun- try, it is probable that the same ground i will be- g-one over here with about the j same unsatisfactory results. "VVe never seem to learn anything from the exper- j iences of other countries. Some day, r perhaps, we will learn that the only way to regulate evils is to aoate tnem and the only way to abate them is to remove the causes. Senator Butler of North Carolina, h.13 introduced a joint resolution for an amendment to the constitution which shall make a majority sufficient to over ride the presidential veto instead of a two-thirds vote as now. It would be just as well to take away the veto power at once; since, under such an ar rangement as is natnr b'.urler Drnnosc?. if there w enough votes to pass a measure, there would, of course, be enough to pass it over a veto. The business failures in this country for the first three months of the cur rent year exceed those of any similar period in the history of the country, according- to Eradstreet. Surely, the prosperity which was to follow the re peal of the Sherman law and the estab lishment of the gold standard has had sufficient time to set here. What's the matter now Seeretary Carlisle says he does not desire to be a candidate for the presi dency, but will be content with an en dorsement of his policy from his own state. In view of the fact that Ken tucky but recently had an opportun ity of endorsing Carlisle's policv in the election of a United States senator and failed to improve it, it looks as though the secretary might be doomed to dis- content. The hous: narrow me; system of w has at last decided by a in to adopt the European eients ana measures as weu as the European monetary system for this country. When the fathers found ed the government they did not go to i Europe for a pattern; why should we j begin now. Why not let Europe adopt i our system if it wants harmony. 1 NEW USE F01I ELECTRICITY It Will Soon Supercede the Old Meth ods of Bleaching. Lowell, Mass., April 9. It is be lieved by some of tuti leading manufac turers cf cotton clctbs here that the new process cf bleaching by electricity is destined to supersede gome of the old methods within the near future. The thought is not a new cue, bnt it has been only within a short tima that any efforts have b?n made to do the bleach ing on any scale of magnitude. 2'cw, however, it is found to bo psrfectly fea sible to bleach cloths in any quantities at a fraction of the cott cf the dil-'erent processes in eeusial use, and the revclu- tion in the trade seems inevitable. j Like so many ether developments in i electricity, this was foreseen and de- j scribed by Thomas A. Edison. It was fully ten years Ego that the great invent- cr told me of the feasibility cf such bieachi! and declared that if he were 1 not so busy with other matters he would devote himself to that for a time, as ho knew the c.-rcmercial value of the idea. Sow the process is being introduced in England by some of the principal bleachers in Manchester, and experi- meats are being made in several of the mills here with a view to perf-sctina it. j So many different methods of bleaching are it) use that it is probable that the new one will liavo a lccg competition j ahad, but the electricians are sanguine. The diiVereuee in cost between the bleached and the unbleached article roughly stated is about 2 cents a yard retail, and the electrical bleaching can be done fur a fraction of that price. The way in which the cloth is treated Tinder the new process is briefly as fol- lows: Is is fht soaked in saltwater and then passed between two rollers that are placed horizontally close together. These i rollers are connected with a battery or j dynamo, and one roller being cf iron, i while the other is of carbon, they serve as electrodes. As the current passes from one to the other of these rollers it disintegrates the salt, resolving it into I its elements, chlorine and sodium. The j latter, combined with the water, makes in an instant a caustic soda, which is taken tip by a felt covering over the iron roller, and being squeezed out is carried on. The chloric remains in the cotton axd does the bleaching. It is true that some cf the rnancfac ttsrers say that they find the electrical bleaching insufficient for their purposes, indin all likelihood there will be many cf them who will prefer to continue with their present methods. Chess who are working with the new pro -sa are, have y ex, very sanguine cf results. ix a. a TO CURE A COLD IX OX3 DAT. Take laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

The celebration will consist of various feat-area. There will be conventions arid reunions of stare and national organiza tions thas will brincr together a great body of people, who are to be enter tained in all manner of -ways that the ingenuity of the citizens of Cleveland can devise. Th'-re will bo big parades, of course, a musical festival, an interna tional yachting regatta, a bicycle meet, banquets, bulls, receptions and the like. The revival of the history of the city and state will briny Connecticut into the affair, for the Western Reserve, of which Cleveland is the metropolis, was once owned by Connecticut, and the state oCicials of both commonwealths will be present and will lend a certain dignity to the proceedings. The celebration will formally begin on Snncl.iv, July 19, when special serv ices will be held in all of the churches. After this prelude will come the real opening on Wednesday, July 22, which wi'l be known as founders' day. The chief event of the day will be a big- mil itary and civic parade. In this there will be seen the fjovernors of Ohio and Connecticut and their staffs. There will be, besides the Ohio military organiza tions, fully 500 of the Connecticut na tional guard, together with the govern or's foot guards and the horse guards. It is also expected that t.h? live weeks' state encampment of the Ohio national guard and the United States regulars will be held in Cleveland at this time, and, if so, these tiwps will also take part in the parade. The exercises of the day will consist of a historical oration ly United States Senator Joseph R. Ibtwley of Connecti- v 1 1 V MAYOR ROBERT E. M'KISSOX. enf, an address of welcome by Mayor Robert K. McKissou, who is very active in makinir preparations for the event, besides addresses by distinguished visit ors and the reading of an ode especial ly written for the occasion by Colonel J. J. Piatt, the well known Ohio poet. In the evening of founders' day will be given a historical pageant compos ed of 22 floats, representing various stages of the growth of the city during the century of its existence. Following the pageant will be a centennial ball, to be attended in costume by 150 young business men and the ladies who aro most prominent in Cleveland society. The n st day. July 23. will be Ohio editors' l.iy. The Ohio Associated Dai lies and the Ohio Editorial association, representing both the daily and w eekly press of the state, have accepted an in vitation to hold their midsummer meet ings in Cleveland oil this date, and the inolder.i of public -pinion will be hand somely entertained. Woman's day h.'.s been set for July SO, aud the women's department of the centennial commissi, n is making ar rangements for a most interesting aud instructive programme. The progress of the women of the Western Keserve in literature, art, industries and philan thropy will be shown by a series of ad dresses and by exhibits. In connection with these exercises the various public institutions managed by women will be thrown open f..-r public inspection. In croer to projwriy celebrate the set tling of the West, rn Reserve elaborate arrangements are being made. Dele gates from every part of the reserve have been appointed, and on Ang. 4 th--y w ill met t with representatives of all the pioneer societies now in exist ence f"'r the purpose of organizing a Western Reserve pioneer associate u. On the next day exercises of an interesting and historical character will be con ducted. The Early Settlers' association pro pose;? to reconstruct one corner of a pub lic square into a pioneer settlement, to be used during the celebration as a de partment of public comfort. On Aug. 1 0 to 1 3, inclusive, an inter- j national yacht regatta will be held on the lake off the harbor, in which the leading yacht clubs of both the Cana dian and American lake cities will take part. The entire week beginning Aug. 24 will be devoted to the holding of a se ries of historical conferences. A mon ster parade of school children, will also be held during this week, which will be closed by an old time, dinner held in one cf the public parks under the aus pices of the Ohio Sew England society. Athletic sporting carnivals will be held, and one day is to be given to the wheel men for races and a parade.

CLOSE. "Iie Eailroatls Give Their Side of tlie Controversy. Aii Attempt 31ade to Show a De crease in Eates. Joe Waters Cross-Examines the road Officials, and Asks Some Pointed Questions The Case 2adebythe Railroads K"ot So Strong as Anticipated. The railways had their inning yester day afternoon and did not put up even as strong a case as the cattlemen ex pected they would. Their testimony in the main was to show a decrease in freight rates. In admitting testimony for the Santa Fe, Mr. Ilurd admitted an increase per car for each of the first three months in 1S96 and the same was true with other roads. At the beginning of the afternoon ses sion John C. McCoy, a commission mer chant of Kansas City was put on the stand. The testimony of this witness was used to show the light shipiment under the rate ami also regarding the matter of weights. The weighing at all shipping points is done under the new rate by the Western Weighing as sociation. Witness testified to delay caused by the weighing under the new system and that frequently there are discrepancies in weighing mure than under the former method The next witness was P. II. Lander gin of Eureka, a heavy shipper of 13 years experience. The witness testified to a personal knowledge of a material increase in freight rates, air. Lander gin has usually shipped from 20,0oO to St. l00 piounds in each car. That this was not heavy loading, he showed by say ing in all his experience in shipping to Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago he had never lost a single animal from ex cessive loading. Taking 29 cars as a basis of compu tation, Mr. Landergin showed that there was a difference of $300.5$ between the old and the new rates in favor of the old rate. This makes an increase of S12.S5 per car. After the examination of Mr. Lan dergin the cattlemen, through attor ney Waters, signified their willingness to rest. Geo. "Li. Corwin of Chicago, superin tendent of the Western Railway Weigh ing association was introduced by the attorneys of the railroads and asked to explain the system of weighing used. A statement of weights from all Kan sas points to Chicago for January, Feb ruary and March. 193. The witness also testified to state ments of shipments made from Kan sas points for 1S95. over the Santa Fe, Burlington. Rock Island. "Wabash, Bur lington, Chicago Alton and other roR.js. Tl.pse various statements were introduced in evidence br the railroad attorneys, each as a separate exhibit. These statements were offered to con tradict the evidence of the cattlemen as to the customary loading of cars. Attorney Davis for the cattlemen in quired of Attorney Kurd of the Santa Fe whether the ship'Ping had been changed from Kansas points to Chi ago, and receiving the answer that it had not, asked if it were not true that the change only affected the shipment to Kansas City. Attorney Ilurd re plied that this was true. A statement was also introduced by the witness for the Santa Fe road show ing the total shipments from all Kan sas points to Kansas City, for the months of January, February and March, 1SS6, but being called upon for a comparative statement for 1S95 under the old rates Attorney Hurd admitted he did not have it. In presenting these statements Mr. Hurd admitted an increase upon the Santa Fe for the month of January, 1C?1. of Sd.78 per car; for February, .49; for March, .8G. Statements of the same kind were also introduced for the Union Pacific for the same months, January, Febru ary and March, 1SSC. showing an aver age increase for these months respect ively of S1.4S. n.ll and 49 cents. Under the shipments over the M., K. T. an average increase was shown of J1.71 for January, $1.31 for February, 93 cents for March. It developed during the examination of Mr. Corwin by Captain Waters that the Western Weighing association was composed of 57 railways west of Chi casro. "Is the weighing association a cor poration asked Captain Waters. "Xo." teplied Mr. Corwin. "Is it a stock company?" "Xo." "Is it a trust, a monopoly formed by the railway companies to do business for themselves?" "It is neither a trust nor a monopoly or a pool." "Then what is it?" "An organization by therailw-ay com panies to do a weighing business." "Are there no salaries paid? It is strange that there can be such well dressed representatives if there is no head to the association and no com pany." "We are merely a mutual admiration society and just exist on air and veg etables and so forth," facetiously re plied Corwin. Assistant General Freight Agent Sargent of the .uempms route was in troduced by the railroad companies. The testimony of Mr. Sargent was mainly in an endeavor to show a de crease in freight rates for the first three months of 196. In cross examination Attorney Wa ters attempted for fully half an hour to get the witness to state whether he knew the carrying capacity of a s foot car. The witness evaded ques tion after question and finally admit ted he knew little of carrying capacity of cars. Gen. Blair, attorney for the Memphis route. introduced several affidavits from shipfiers in Miami county expres sing satisfaction with the present rate, and testifying a saving in freight rates on cars shipped to Kansas City. C. W. Hale, freight aeent of the M., K. T., Xew York, was the next wit ness. Explaining the reason for mak ing the change from the old carload rate to the 100 pound rate, the witness said the old rate was discriminating. Witness also testified that to the light shipper the old rate was excessive and unjust. "How long have you been connect ed with the freight department of your road?" asked Captain Waters. "Eight years," replied Mr. Hale. Then you ought to know the carry ing capacity of a 26 foot car; how much will it carry "40,000 pounds may be carried." "Do you not know as a matter of fact the- shippers under the old way could put in as many as they desired?" "The a-gents were instructed in some cases not to allow overloading." "Do you Know the average number of pounds which can be comfortably carried?" "I should say from 24,000 to 25.000 pounds." .In the hearing before the railway commissioners in which the cattlemen are attempting to secure a change in freight tariff, the shippers continue to hold the advantage. The cattlemen rested yesterday aft ernoon and the railroads began intro ducing testimony upon their side. Freiaht agents and traffic men were placed upon tne witness stand by the roaeis to p-rove there had beem no mate rial increase in the freight paid and that there was no injustice intended nor consequent regarding the change of tariff. Tlie best witness for the roads was Assistant Freight Agent Lincoln of the Missouri Pacific, placed upon the stand at the beginning of this morning's session. The hearing will continue all of today as the railroad witnesses will not be through their testimony before the ad journment of today's session. Then wiil come the testimony of the cattle men in rebuttal followed by the argu ments, which will run the session over most of tomorrow. TODAY'S SESSIOX. J. C. Lincoln, assistant general freight I agent of the Missouri Pacific, was the j first witness introduced by the railroad companies at this morning's session. i Mr. Lincoln said the reason for estab- lishing a minimum rate1 of 19.000 ponucis 1 for a standard car and 22,000 pounds for a Z'i foot car was to accommodate the small shipper in order that he might have the benefit of light loading and thus avoid excessive fivtsjht rates. Witness also testified that though there had been a decrease iti a majori ty of the ears over his road, there had been an averasre increase of 04 cents per car on the total number of cars ship ped. Mr. Lincoln said that the figures of the weighing association v ere as a rule as nearly correct as thou... of the stock yards, but in case of dispute as to tlie weights, the railway companies gen- j orally settled upon a basis of the stock yard weights. With lcference to the reason for the change from the old cat load rate to the present hundred jfound system of shipping. Mr. Lincoln said it was be cause of discrimination between ship pers; that it gave the large shipper in a 30 foot car an advantage over the small shipper and worked the latter an injury. Regarding the rate of increase wit ness had a tabulated statement for Feb ruary, 1S0C, of business done, showing for that month under the new rate of $2o,-Pyhiii. Under the old rate this would have been $20,225.49. thereby showing, as witness termed it, "a alight rate of increase." On cross examination Attorney Wa ters asked: "Is it the X'ow York company, the humane society, the shipper or the weighing association that fixes the rate "The Xew York companies." "The snippers have nothing to do with it?" "Xo, they do not." Am I right when I sa; a carload means that the loaded as heavily as choose?" a rate upon car is to be the shippers "It means a fair, average load. One of the first rulings of the Missouri board of railroad commissioners was that a. "carload as intended by stat ute, meant 2O.000 pounds, and this was made as a unit." "When you establish a rate of $30 for a 30 foot car, what do you under stand as an overage load, taking into comparison the size of the car?" "About 24.0OO pounds is the average loading for a 38 foot car." "When you put your new tariff into effect you expected the? shippers to load fat cattle just as they had been doing in the past?" "Yes." "Then you expected your revenue to increase in proportion to the weight over the minimum rate?" "Xo, we did not expect that." "Do you know about how many pounds of wheat can be put in a car?" "GO. 000 of wheat can be put in a 60.- 000 pound car; you could not put that many pounds of feathers in such a car." "Then you know the average rapaci ty of a car for wheat anei feathers, but you don't know anything of the cattle carrying capacity?" "Xot quite so 'well piosted, perhaps: 1 said 4.0'-0 pounds of cattle was an average eap.aeity-." Attorney Bcr.cfi-IJ drew from the witness some good points for the cat tlemen regarding the increase under the nw rate from Coffeyville to Kan sas City. This increase "was admitted to be something like $1 10 per car. SALVATION STRATEGY. Mrs. Booth-Tucker Will Try to Coun teract Mrs. Balllngton Booth's Influence. San Francisco. April 9.

Colonel Ingersoll was surprised to learn that fully 1.5eo pray ers had been offered for him. and de clared that from the effect produced he believed most of them had fallen short from lack of postage. Colonel Ingersoll said "The prayers did not, so far as I know, do me the least injury or the least good. I am glad to see that the Christians are getting civilized. A few years ago they would have burned me. Xow they pray for me. That is better, and I am very thankful for the change, but I do not believe that a prayer was ever nswered."

Engineer Rust is one of the most widely known railroad men along the Santa Fe system between Topeka and Chicago. For a number of years he was employed 011 the Chicago division cf thi- road, and two years ago was transferred to Topeka in charge of a passenger run between this city and Marceiine, Mo.

How a Qick Wltted Lawyer Escaped Paa i. nine tit For Contempt of Court. It Is not generally known that Repre sentative Lacey of Iowa is the distinguish ed author of one of the most valuable law books in use by the American bar. It is Dacey's Railway Digest, a compendium of all the railway cases over tried and de cided in the United States, England and Australia. It is in two volumes, and the second volume is a tome about two-thirds as large as Webster's Unabridged Diction ary. The ether day Senator Chilton met the Iowa member for the first time and cordially shook hands with him. His "Digest," he declared, had been an inval uable aid to him in many law cases. And that rcmiEdcJ him of a Texas courtroom episode. Two lawyers got into an altercation while trying a case, aud after an exchange cf some hot shot vef bally one of them re sorted to violence. On the table lay the stcund volume of "Laoey's Digest" and by its sice "Desty's Federal Procedure," a dwarf of a book, the very antithesis of Lacey 's ponderous law tome. The incensed lawyer picked up "Desty" and lot it ily at his antagonist's face as hard as ho could, and both were arraigned by the outraged ccrtirt for aggravated offense and contempt. The court listened to their explanation, and demanded of the lawyer wliohad outraged the dignity of tho high tribunal if he had anything to say in mitigation or extenua tion of his offense. Yes, your honor," said tho lawyer, "I only threw 'Desty' when I might have thrown 'Laoey's Railway Digest.' This nice discrimination as to the weapons of offenso so pleased the court that the offender escaped with a simple reprimand. Washington Post. A Chance For Moro Proof. "Madam, said the tattered wretch as the woman of the house came to tho door, "you see before you a victim of the worst governmental tyranny on the faco of the globe. "You look it." answered the woman. "My looks do not deceive you. Yet, madam, I can assure you that it humbles rue greatly to bo compelled to ask nlms of you. Two short months ago, madam, I was rich enough to have bought all the houses on this street." "Indeed!" said the woman, growing in terested. "Yes," pursued the wanderer, "I had a great plantation, acres of sugar cano and tobacco, hundreds of negroes to do my bidding. I spent my time in idleness and luxury. I never had a want that I could not gratify by a wave of my hand." "Where was all thin?" "In Cuba, madam." I am a Cuban refugee. My plantation was burned by the cruel Spaniards becauso I had given aid to the patriots. My wife and children wore murdered, my dependents all scat tered, and I" "If you're a Cuban," interrupted tho woman, "prove it by talking Spanish." "Madam Said the tramp, wit h a pained expression, "in the part of Cuba where- I lived the people were such patriots that they never used the Spanish language. They talked only English." "Oh," said the woman, "then there's another way in which you can prove what you say." "It is humiliating to me to have my word doubted. My Cuban pride revolts at it, but my hunger for tho minco pio which I can smell from your kitchen forces me to pocket my pride. Name your other test, and it shall bo fulfilled." "You might walk Spanish," said the woman, with a smile as she shut tho door. Buffalo Express. The Kidets. At a recent east end wedding there were among the guests three students of the Sixteenth street college in their school uniforms.

The impressive ceremony was performed p-romptly at Slot' o'clock at Trinity Episcopal church by the rec tor. Itev. J. E. Sulger. Long before the hour announced for the opening of the church, people had commenced to gather on the outside, and it required but a few moments time after the doors were opened to fill the edifice to its utmost capacity. The church, at tractive of itself, presented a beautiful scene last night. Its Easter decora tions thus year by the young ladies had a double jmrpose: the bride of Easter Monday was one of its most enthusias tic workers, and a young lady of un bounded popularity. Palms, Easter lilies and house plants were in th? greatest ru-ofusion, the altar being most tastefully decorated. At every pew en trance there was a bouquet of flowers. The decoratb in, which was entirely the work of the bride's friends, was a tes timony of their love and esteem for her. When the confusion caused by the seat ing of the guests ceased, the hour for the ceremony had arrive. 1 and the wed ding party entered the church through the center aisle, while Miss Lilly 11.-th-erington and Mrs. W.

The bride was beautifully gowned in heavy white ivory satin with long train, the corsage being handsomely trimmed with point duchesse lace, t-m- broidered chiffon and lilies of the val ley. Her veil, of white tulle, swept j back in graceful folds over the train of I her gown. It was fastened to the hair j with lilies of the valley. No cirnam "tits I were worn. Th gown of the maid of 1 honor was a white taffeta, trimmed with tulle and white violets. Her bouquet i was of bride roses and ferns. The bride an 1 groom led the procession out of the church.

The oth ers were of plaid velvet, and while there wr.j no lace or ribbon to give praco and make them appear too frail for any thing but suppressed bad words they were quits as dangerous to a man's peace of mind. These sleeves were s.o very large that they completely effaced tho man. Ho couldn't lean forward, for if ho did one cf tho girls was snro to turn suddenly and brush hia carefully ciuled nitisiuciio or the other to rumple v.p liis hair or ticklo his nose. If he ltrauetl back, tiiof-e sleeves heaved a sigh of relief, which swelled them to their biggest proportions, and altogether I think the young man didn't have a good time at all. And the two innocent girls had the tiniest cf bonnets, and therefore they sat in the serene consciousness of incommoding nobody. On the other hand, if girls don't have big sleeves to complain about, there are tho big hats, the bustles or hoops. The men find fault anyhow. If they want redress from tneir grievances, why, they make the laws, as I said btfore. There was a very swell andienco to see Bernhardt in "Camille, and while not otherwise engaged I noted a few of the gowns and bonnets, for thoro were but two hats visible. Fancy waists of pink, bine, white, plaid and brocaded bodices wore everywhere. The wide berthas, collarettes and fichus of lierre lace were ubiquitous. Spanglos'glitter ed every v here like stars in a frody sky. Jeweled passementerie, jeweled neck bauds, buckles and other ornaments were worn by all the young and too many of the old. In one box a young lady wore a bodice of Cheney silk, with immense flowers on a white ground. The sleeves were enormous in them selves and were made; still larger by gauze fans studded with sparkling span gles. Two of these stood up straight on each shoulder. I noticed quite a number of persons who evidently wore fal?e hair to aug ment that which nature had bestowed. There were some ether things, too, but I couldn't see them all, for the play was over. And what were Sarab 's gowns like? Oh, I forgot to notice, mora than that they were very high in the neck in front and very low in the back; very clinging and had no waists at ail, as they fell straight down in front from neck to feet. This morning a note from a famous modiste took me o:f to see two of her newest "creations" for visiting. When a grande modiste makes a dress, she does not make it. lobe "creates" it. One of these was a flecked cheviot black and tan. It was bordered with black marten at the bottom, and the basque opened over a tan silk not trimmed e 1 r OPEIIA OR BAI.I- COSTrME. with lace. The wide collar was of black velvet, with gold colored silk embroid ery and some more lace was set over the sleeves. The hat was in several shades of brown. The other creation was of re seda colored cloth, tailor stitched around the bottom. The bodice vas of reseda taffeta, gathered in close shirrs around the shoulders. The rest of the bodice was cf brocaded silk, with reseda ground and dark green and ruseet red figures. The sleeves were piped with large cords covered with cloth, which gave them the admired stiffness. The bottom was arranged in doubled slashes all around. The hat matcced the gown. Olive Haspes. C 4 SUMMER PROPHECIES. Thin Fabrics In Delicate Colors and De fens Will Bo Highly Popular. Lawn is to ba universally worn during the summer. In plain tones ecru, blue, rose apd cream will be favorites, while mora elaborate ones hve enormous llow ers of various colors on a cream or white ground or art applications of ecru lawn on a white surface. These lawns, espe cially the last mentioned, form entire cos tumes made over colored linings cos tumes which are very rich in spite of the nominal simplicity of the material. These lawns will also compose bodices of which the trimming is as unique as can be devised. They are for dinner and the- 2 v ...2-;" Mi o x CORSAGE. Ster use nnd nro covered with cascades of lace, coquiilus of ribbon and brilliant spangles. Corsages differing from the skirt con tintto to be worn, these often being of the Louis Quinzo or Louis Seize stylo. Capes and jackets will be short, gener ally speaking. Of course thero are excep tions to every rule, and a certain amount of l&titudo is given for tho exercise of in divielual taste. Pioues are offered this season in a far larger variety than they were last year and Will ho much worn. They aro serviceable where other cotton goods would bo use less, for they have a decided body and do not become limp and stringy after ono wearing. There are beautiful shades in solid colors, besides an immense choice in figured designs. Both whito and tinted piques are largely used for small chil dren's frocks and summer coats. Tho trimming consists mainly of very opon embroidery. Bodices of moussellno de soie and chif fon seem to have lost more of tho favor they have so long enjoyed. The illustra tion shows a corsage of pink raoussoline da soie and groan velvet. Tho front of tho blouse, is plaited aud passes under a velvet corselet. The back consists of two scarfs crossed over a plaited plastron. Wide epaulets of white lace are draped In front in the fashion of a fichu. The draped sleeves, of elbow length, are gathered into a plain velvet cuff. Tho collar is of min gled velvet and lace and is adorned by two jeweled buttons. Judic Chollet. NEW MILLINERY. Chlflfon And Lace Com; oie the Spring Hats The Style In Tells. Somo of the new spring hats and bon nets for dross wear have brims composed of full frills of accordion plaited chiffon or moussclitie de soia. Tho crown is soft to harmonizes with the brim, and tho wholo effect is exceedingly delicate and pretty. Lace, flowers and feathers form tho trim ming. A great variety of veilings is shown, many of them boing very thick and elabo rate in pattern. Piece veiling is nearly always more becoming than bordered and shaped veils, but these latter aro now very fashionable. Black, with a whito or ecru lace border, seems to be the preferred style at present, but heavy black borders are also worn. Chenille, spots seem never to go out of favor, and they deserve their popularity, for they always look wnjl. EPIilXG HAT. They ore now seen in all sizes on both coarso and fine meshed grounds and are more worn than plain nuts o either the brussels or tuxedo sort. A great many coarse green straws are seen this spring. They aro of various shades and look as if they were woven of leeds or grasses. Trimmed with flowers they aro very picturesque Black and whito straw and chip hats are also scon, which are admirably suited to accompany tho shepherd's check dress goods which havo coruo to the front again for warm weather wear. The backwardness of the season has had a most discouraging effect upon tho milli nery trade. Everywhere are cases full of gayly trimmed straws and neapolitans, covered with flowers aud delicate laco and pretty enough to tempt a nun. but scarcely anybody will look at them while the tem perature, if not the calendar, proclaims that winter is still here in full vigor. So there is desolation among milliners, who Eee that a great part cf the demiscason Etock will be wasted, and that women will probably go from winter hats directly to summer ones. The illustration given shows a large ha cf black straw. It is trimmed in front with a cluster of violets and four quills. C'oepues and knots of cashmere ribbon are arranged at the back and sides of the crown, and rcses are placed under the crown behind, resting upon the hair. Jt'Dic Chollet. George Eliot's Hope. A writer in one of tho English reviews relates that during a conversation with George Eliot, not loug before her death, a vase toppled over on tho mantelpiece. The great writer quickly and unconsciously put out her hand to stop its fall. "I j hope," said she, replacing it, "that the i time will come when we shall instinctive ly hold up the man or woman who begins to fail as naturally and unconsciously as we arrest a falling piece of furniture or an ornamens."

John Green. a wealthy Shawnee county farmer was married yesterday bv the piobate judge at Kansas City, Kan., to Mrs. Augusta Winn of Kansas Citv. Mo. There was an unusual circumstance in connection with the wecbling. The minister, V,'. C. Hill, a young .Methodist pastor who accompanied the couple, ottered a lengthy and very fervent praver, the first so the probate judge said, that had ever been heard of at a wedding in the probate court of Wy andotte county. The groom. Green, is 62 years old and lives at Willard. He has been married twice before, his first 'wife being an Indian woman. Chinese Cook ly Kale It is said by those who have employed them that the Chinese alwaj'3 cook by rule, if they have any rule to go by following the recipe with the same scientific exactness with which the druggist puts up a prescription. Hence their results are equally satisfactory. They are economical cooks. They never burn or spoil anything, nor spill ma terials on the floor; consequently noth ing that goes through their hands is wasLed. They cook just enough, aud no more- Told by a Trppr. One Vermont trapper, hailing from Houghton ville. has trapped during this season 1,600 skunks, 175 foxes, 70 minks, 200 muskrats and 100 coons. The record seems pretty high, but it le vouched for by a local paper, fend Vermont has a great reputation for game and trappers. TO CERE A COLD IN OXE DAY. Take laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

XW AXD THE SXiFFIXG RCFL Irwin Believes in the S.veatbox Pitcher Kusie's Folly Will Cause a Coalition of League Hagnatas. Row should a baseball player train? There are many methods in use and man agers rido many hobbies therein. But the most astounding revelation concerning training cornc-5 from Captain Anson. In h'lH list of exercises is skipping the rope. The giddy thin? He says, "'I next give about 15 minutes to skipping the rope, which is very good for the ankles, iegs and wind." Let us hope that Gladstone and Bismarck may hear of the Ansoniau method. If the news pets abroad that this baseball player of 44 skips the rope for 15 minutes at a time, it is sure to increase the "drop duads" among the misses of I'Z and 13 years. It is pity that Anson did not reveal his recipe for perennial agility sooner; tiien wa possibly should have .Toe Start, Jim White, liobhy Matthews. Tim Keefe and other retired memories still on active duty. Among the other necessities of a base ball player's training Anson mentions early and regular hours, frequent bathim? and handball. Tho last two are easy to enforee, but early and regular hours are things of which most baseball players have a holy horror. They stay up late, sleep late,

'X CH ARLES FR.WK. Champion batsman of last year's Western league. eat when they happen to get a chance and seek their couch as if it were tin instru ment of torture. Anson says. "An hour's sleep before midnight is worth three after that time." Yet it is a rule, rather than an exception, for players not to lie in bed or asleep before 15 o'clock. Club rules generally require players to go to their rooms while on tho road at 11 o'clock. Managers iind it almost impossible to en foree tho rule. Then all the 8 o'clock calls left with tho hotel clerk for next morning cannot bring these players from their late sleep. They drop into their breakfast from 9 till 11 o'clock and aro ready for lunch at half pant 1J. John Ward once told mo tiiat he would not have any of his players called in tho morning because sleep to an athlete wai worth more than regular hours. Ward himself was late to bed and about tho last member of his team to get. up next day. These aro two great baseball leaders who differ radically upon tho question of sleep for players. It is not hard to decide which one is right and which one is wrong. There is no trouble in enforcing tho bath on ball piayers, either by plunge or towel. They love it as a duck loves water. Some of them abuse the habit and weaken t hem selves by an excessive use of the outside application of water. It is a rather remarkable fact that tho bicycle has never been a general attraction among baseball players. Probably not ouo-third of the professional players can ride a wheel or have any desiro to loarn. Therb is a widespread fear that the risk is too great, A broken arm, a sprained leg or a dislocated shoulder would be a very expensive injury to a baseball player. Anson's painful experience with a balky bike last fal; helped to increase the bail players' prejudice asrair.st the bicycle. Manager Irwin of the New York club has a training Lobby of his own used no where else in the National league. It is tho system of swoatbox.es arranged tv give nearly the saiua effect as a Russian bath. Irwin says tho University of Penn sylvania teams Lave used these steam boxes for years vith excellent success and he claims that sore muscles are impossibil ities with men who have the use of tho sys tem. Thero is danger, however, of catch ing seeere colds unless etra precaution is used after the player leaves the box, and the general care ie.sn ess of ball piayers makes the sweat boxes questionable in struments of training. Their use by tho New York club this year will be carefully watched by the prcfesion. Amos Rusie's recent action in going be fore the national board and asking for his reiflase from reservation by trie New York club on the grounds of unpaid salary has been a baseball sensation. Tiie big pitcher frequently broku through club discipline last year and was fined $2i'io. The sum was deducted from his last installment of salary. He claims that the lines wove ex cessive and illegal and that therefore tho club still owe him part of tho sniary which was due on Oct. 1, 1SD5. The na tional agreement jirovides for the release of a player whose salary at any time is due and unpaid for 15 days. That section, however, is intended to protect players from bankrupt or defaulting club. Rusie has been badiy coaeiied. The base ball magnates cannot aiToi-d to admit his claims against the New Y'ork club, for if they did they weald turn half the piayers of tt-i country upon their respective clubs. Should he go to law and seek to establish his alleged rights the magnates would bo forced to stand together and place him outside the professional breastworks as an awful example for others who might be tempted to seek the courts for relief. When the big pitcher put himself into the hands of a lawyer, he out-Ajaxed Ajax. As Puck once remarked, "What fools these mortals be Charles Frank, who won the honor cf being champion batsman of the Western league last season, has a record to which he can "point with pride." During tho last four seasons he has played with live clubs and bus lead each one in batting. Thes triumphs were achieved with the Mobiles in li-J2, the St. Louis Browns in ISSa, the Xoiwdos in 1S31 and the Memphis 775

I i and Minneapolis teams in 1S95. In this time he led two leagues in batting viz, the Southern in and tho Western in lsS'5. lie is only 23 years old, and his f-UC-cess on the baiifieid is a living proof of what good habits and careful training will do for a baseball player. Another proof that good hibits among professionals of the diamond pay is found in the triumph of Cy Young of the Cleve land club, whi), according to the crlicial pitching averages, just made public by Secretary Yotmg, easily leads all tiie pitchers in that line of work. His nearest competitor is Holier of tho llaitimores, who, like Young, lets liquor alone and looks well to himself during the playing season. There are pitchers in the National league who have been blessed witii talents much rarer than Y'oung's, but while they waste their abilities in convivial methods and dis.-ipation tho young Ohio farmer husbands that which he has and beats ev erybody out. What is more, Y'oung will be "iu the game"' wlien some of tho tal ented lushers are forgotten. Th3 practice campaign of tho northern teams in the south during March has not been a success this year. Eleven of tiie 1J clubs are scuth of Ma.-on and Dixon's line, and every one has complaints to make of cold, rainy weather interfering with tho work. The late spring lias been a sore disappoint ment all around. It probably cost the 11 clubs $500 a day to get the rather unsatisfactory benefit of this south ern practice. Meanwhile correspondents are sending north great stories of thy won derful work done by some of the wonder ful young recruits. But the wise man agers arc not yet. ready to go on record concerning tbee novitiates. They re member instances of other years, and as they watch the recruits "knock tho cover oil the bail' they only hope and say in their hearts, "Will they do it when they go up against the real thing'-" Sonic of them will, but most of them will not.

THE INVENTOR OF THE "SAFETY.1 Eo Gives the Reason Why He Never Pat ented Hi Idea. Mr. J. K. Starley, the man to whom wheelmen are indebted for the present popular form of bicycle known as the "sai'etv, is an unassuming gentleman, j about 40 years of age, who lives quietly at his residence. Barrs iliil House, in the outskirts of the city of Coventry, tho great bicycle center of Kngland. He is a person i of much refinement and artistic taste and is possessed of suflioieiit wealth to enable i liim to display those qualities to good ad- vantage. His bouse is handsomely fur- nished, and its owner is exceedingly polite j and hospitable. Ah hough the invention of tho "safety" machine has been of almost inestimable value to tho wheeling world, the average bicyclist is not aware that tho man to J. K. STARLET, whom tho idea of low wheels and gearing first presented itself inado nothing of it, but quietly allowed the whole benefit to be gathered by otiiers. Yet such is tho case. When asked recently why it was that ho had made no effort to secure tho laurels and more substantial benefits which Uiould have been h:. Mr. Starley smiled and replied: "Well, It was simply becausa thero were patents in existence of the dif ferent parts too similar to render this prac ticable. Besides my previous experience of patents had been so unsatisfactory that I did not think it worth while to trouble about it. But there is one thing I will say," he continued, "and that is that the introduction of the 'safety' system was cot an accident. I's construction had oc cupied my thoiieiits for a considerable period before it was produced. Bicycling at that time had reached a high pitch of popularity, and I thought the time had ar rived for an ideal machine. Locomotion had always been my favorite study, and from in' practical knowledge of mechanics I knew that tho chief point to be consid ered was the position oi the rider. And so I put my idea into execution, and the 'safety' was the result." Edward K. KIce Was Satisfied. Fay Templeton tells a story about Ed ward E. Rico thoroughly characteristic of tho man. When "14: '2" was at tiie height of its success, Rico took it for a week's tour in New England, lie divided his time between a lot of small towns where he had spent much time as a poor boy. 'Wy the trip a success?" asked Miss Ttf.pleton when ho returned to New Y'ork. "Oh, yes," replied Rica. "I lost $3,000 on tie week, but I got every cent they bad. I'm sa.ieiied!" PUGN ACIOUS N AT GOODWIN. He Chastises liorillard Kip atthe-Eofi-man House Cafe. New Tork, April 9. There is weep ing and wailing among the so-called "swell set," owing to a whipping admin istered to one of their leaders by an actor. Nat Goodwin met his enemy, Lorillard Kip, at an early hour in the cafe of the Hoffman House, and the meeting resulted disastrously to Mr. Kip. There is a long, tedious history to the war between Messrs Goodwin and Kip. A Woman was the cause of it. Loril lard Kip is the best known of the wealthy young men in the city. Sunday evening- Kip and several friends were in the Hoffman House restaurant, when Goodwin arrived, es corting the woman that had caused the bitterness between the two men. When Mr. Goodwin left the restaurant it was late, but he soon returned, and without making the slightest ado he "sailed into" Lorillard, Kip, landing a left and right swing on the jaw, fol lcwed by a straight right-hander on the bridge of the nose. All this made young Mr. Kip extremely "groggy." Like Ajax defying the lightning, Goodwin, with his hair standing upon end, defied the "dudes," as he called them. One of Kip's companions, who poses as an athlete, made a bluff to reach Goodwin, but permitted himself to be securely held by a waiter who weighed about 00 pounds. Goodwin was on I'.roadway yesterday afternoon celebrating his easy victory over his rival, wlice it is said, has re tired to the seclusion of his home to await the disappearance of the dis coloration of his eves. ARMOUR IS "LONG 5 Anxious to Unload Several Million Bushels of Wheat Uo Dollar Wheat. St. Louis. April 9. The quoted inter view with I". 1 Armour, the Chicago millionaire meat packer and grain speculator, telegraphed from Chicago, in which ho states that dollar wheat is a possibility of the near future, has created much comment in local grain circles. The general opinion seems to be that Mr. Armour has permitted himself to be interviewed preparatory to putting his large holdings of wheat on the mar ket. It is also stated that whenever Mr. Armous makes a prediction the market takes n contrary turn. Armour is believed at this time to be a heavy holder of wheat and the St. Louis trade is of the opinion that he wants to get rid of it at the best prices ob ta inal do. A reporter talked with a number of the bi.e; speculators wiih a view to as certaining their views of the state ments made by Mr. J.rmour. II. F. Langen'oerg of Langenberg Bros. Co., said: Nobody can tell any thing about the situation at this mo ment and for that reason I should pre fer not to express an opinion that I may have to explain later oru David Block of Block, Dean Co., said: "I guess Mr. Armour has a good lot of wheat on hand that he wants to dispose of. I see ri itbipe; in the present ootid it ions to justify his prediction of SI wheat. I have felt bullish on wheat all the time but I am forced to ac knowledge that the prospects for a good crop are of the best. We cannot, how ever, tell until tho crop is actually bar vested. There is always tiie possibil ity of drought, disease, wet harvests, etc., but I do not expect any of these contintrencies. "Ye are certain to have good enough crops to put $1 wheat out of the range of probabilities. I am in formed that there was little plowing done in tho Dakotas last fall. They are only now beginnin.ee to pdow thcjre and it is near seeding time." BAILEY AND THE "ARROW, The Owner of and a Performer at Bar- num's Circus Hurt. New Y'ork. April 9. J. A. Bailey, pro prietor of Barnum t Bailey's circus, and Alar, a girl member of a troupe of aerial performers in tiie show. are both nursing sore net Its. Their injuries, licivvever. w ere not re eived simultan eously. While rushing across Fifth avenue in front of one of tho big vans at the time of the parade some Greek tire fell on Mr. Bailey's neck, burning it so severely that he still has it band aged. Aiar, tho girl who was injured, is bulled as "The Human Arrow." She is required to lie fiat on a high pedestal, while just ahead of her is a paper hoop. Tho "turn," as it is called, requires her to be propelled through this hoop by a giant bow, and she is caught by a man swinging on a trapeze. Just before she got in position last night the bow string snapped, and it struck her with such force in the back of the neclc as to ren der her unconscious. She was restored by a physician, who attended her in her dressing room. ALL LEARNING HOW. First Strike Among' Southern Cotton Mill Operators Spreads. Rnlcicrri. N. C, April 9.

WALKS RAH! OR SIIIIIE. Mrs. Cleveland Has Become a Great Pedestrian. How the President's Wife Keeps Eer Flesh Her Sensible Walking Costume, The women who have been walking With Mrs. Cleveland this winter are not iitoiy to forget it for some time. Mrs. Cleveland has taken to walking for a purpose. A more indofatigablo devotee of pedestrianism it would be hard to find. Sho always did walk more or less, but einco her return to tho White House last fall sho lias let very few samples of severe weather defer her from her daily constitu tional. That is what it really is a con stitutional. Every little while it is said the president Is gaining flesh. Well, he does nothing to take off the sur plus. Although nobody says anything abont it, Mrs. Cleveland lias b en gaining flesh too. She has also been working energetic ally to keep it down. Mrs. Cleveland doesn't rido a bicycle. Pho doesn't skate or p'.ay golf. She doesn't rido or hunt. In fact, she has none of tho fun of the outdoor lifo that is pen to women who don't live in an exec utive mansion and have to keep up official dignity. Besides the fun, she loses tho exercise also. For a long time the only outing sho had was when, with tho president, she drove in state in the afternoon. Then if you met them on a lonely road outside Wash ington they seemed mute and solemn. Mrs. Cleveland has changed strangely. She has come to resemble tho president. Both faces wear precisely the same expres sion. They look like twins. Since this was noticed they aro cited as proof of the old idea that after a time man and wife grow to resemble each other. But Mrs. Cleveland has followed the president's example in another point. For a long time sho has been gaining flesh. It was so gradual that no one recognized its extent until Mrs. Cleveland herself admit ted that she weighed 200 pounds, lacking a couple of pounds. With ail this flesh on a largo frame she is an imposing ligure. Few men in "Wash ington public life are big enough to hold their own bo-ido her. Justice Gray, the giant of tiie supremo court bench, is one of those who aro not dwarfed as her escort. Her large frame is a great advantage. What would seem fat on a woman of emallcr bone is only massiveness in Mrs. Cleveland. But this doesn't suit her at all. That is why she has taken to walking. Rain or shine, no matter what is on for the evening, Mrs. Cleveland is ready for her constitutional. Under ordinary circumstances any wom an in Washington would bo delighted to be honored with an invitation to keep Mrs. Cleveland company for a couple of hours during the forenoon. Most of them did try it for awhile. After a couple of experiences all but the strongest have baon content to make a plea of sickness. If ir, is possible to secure a companion Mrs. Cleveland linds one. Tho absence of one doesn't keep her from that tramp. Sho leaves tho Whito Houso about 10 o'clock. The hour varies. Thero are no newfangled walking dresses, nor tourists' clothes, nor divided or short skirts for her. Her preference is always for a black skirt. This winter she lias usually worn one of the wide gored black skirts of heavy cheviot. Over this she has a short jacket, single breasted, with tho buttons concealed under tho flap of tho coat. The sleeves of the coat are not abnor mally immense. A superb chinchilla cape of the new winter fashion, very full and ripply, covers her shoulders. Its high col lar is turned up only in the most biting weather. It is an immense cape and must have been made to order to suit Mrs. Cleve land's shoulders. On her head is a little black toque of velvet and astrakhan, with a couple of wings at tho sido and front. There is nothing striking or especially fashionable about tlie outfit. It is quiet and comfort able and designed for ease. also. The watchmen in tho White Houso grounds note her passing by and admiro tho way sho steps off. Onco in awhile, if tho weather is too bad for Ruth and Esther to be out, she turns and waves her hand at tho couple of little faces at an up- window. That is a great deal for Mrs. Cleveland to do. Her solo desiro usually is to escape from the vicinity of the White House without being recognized by tourists. Once outside of tho grounds Mrs. Cleve land and her companion strike a good gait. They swing oil down back of the statu department and into the public grounds, over toward the monument, though the agricultural grounds and straight off toward tho capitol itself. Mrs. Cleveland has been scon a number of times walking around the terraco at the capitol, enjoying the view of the city. The same route is taken back to the White Houso. That is one of her popular walks, be cause the roads aro good and smooth and few peoplo are encountered; also, if a tall lady happens to be seen flying along at a speed almost equal to a run, no one thinks am thing about it over there. Mrs. Cleveland isn't walking for pure fun, although she does manage to get en joyment out of it. She walks well. Her height and length of limb give her a stride that her compan ions simply give up trying to imitate. "I'm going too fast for you, she laughs. "I will walk more slowly." For a few moments the companion proudly manages to keep side by sido with Mrs. Cleveland. Then the step lets out again; then just a little more, and beforo Mrs. Cleveland is conscious of it she is on ahead again, with her friend literally tag ging on behind. This is what happened to a cabinet girl who was asked to walk with tho presi dent's wife one morning. It began to rain about tho time to start. "It's too bud," sighed the girl, "to lose our walk." "But we aren't going to lose it," was the answer. There wm nothing for the girl to do but accept h.T fate. In a few moments they started. Mrs. Cleveland scorned a mack intosh, and tho girl had not worn hers. Tho rain feil constantly faster. Mrs. Clevoland went sprinting on. The girl, who is a pretty athletic young woman herself, did her best to keep up. Her skirts became drabbled and wet. The wind began to blow, to make things pieas linter. Tha rain came down in small tor tents. And still Mrs. Cleveland was spin ning along. WUan they got back to the White Hon&a, they had done a good five roiio stretch. Mrs. Cleveland looked anx ious for more, and apparently only stopped then out of consideration for her young companion. Tho girl said she believed Mrs. Cleveland had enjoyed every step, and tho harder it rained the better she seemed pleased. Tho daily stretch is not less than five miles. If there aro time and s!oinpanion who is equal to it, it is six or seven miies. This is one of the reasons everybody has been saying how well tho president's wife looked. When she comes up the walk to the White House, her eyes are clear and bright. Her checks are flushed with the exercise, and it is to be hoped that, tiio real purpose of tiie training is being accomplished. Two of tho women who have held out best and have been her most frequent com panions aro Mrs. Minot, the daughter of Secretary of State Olney, and Miss Har mon, daughter of the new attorney general of the cabinet. But it takes a very good pedestrian to keep up wiih Mrs. Cleveland since she started to walk off extra flesh.' Mrs. Mo Guirk in New Y'ork World. FOR A BATTLE ABBEY.

DID HE DIE OF POISON I Murderer Frank Nevels Supposed to Have Eaten Match Heads. When Frank Novels died at the coun ty jail a short time ago it was thought by a great many that he probably caused his own death. He was known to have eaten soap at one time. This belief is now strengthened by the well founded suspicion that ill's. Matson's murderer ate matches. i. R. MeNary, one of Novels' lawyers sa s that whenever he held a confer ence w ith bis client in the jailer's room Novels would put two of throe boxes of matches into his pocket. He began do ing this in the early part of ISHo, be fore his first trial. Mr. MeNary held dozens of consultations with his client and every time as tin- lawv'er arose to go Novels hurriedly slipped a couple of boxes of matches into his pocket be fore the jailer came in. The lawyer wondered somewhat that tho prisoner should use so many matches, but did not think he was put ting them to tlie use he probably did until after his death. Doctors say that the wholesale- eat ing of match heads, if continued for so long a time as a year, would cause poisoning and probably death.. The murderer may have soaked the heads in water and cirank off the potion. ONLY THE HOLY GHOST. Dr. Merritt Declares Only the Deity Can Down the Bar-Hoom. New Y'ork, April 9. The Rev.

He believed that temperance would come as did freedom for the slaves in the south years ago. Dr. Merritt has been in the temper ance movement for M0 years and has been nominated for office 14 tinres.
