According to the present draft of the bill
this county is left out of the new district
entirely.
Wholesale Robbery By Young Clris.
Caktuoe, 111.. April 1. A decided
sensation has been unearthed at La Ivarpo,
iu this connty, by the discovery that the
daughters of several reputable citizens
have been engaged in a system of whole
sale robbery of millinery and dry goods
stores in that city for over two weeks
past. Goods amounting in value to a
bugs sum of money were found secreted
iu burns, outhouses, ui4r the sidewalks
and elsewhere. Four of the girls are
from ten to thirteen years old. The
parents are overwhelmed with grief and
ffer te make all amends. It is intimated
that there is something behind this sys
tem of robbery, and that possibly other
and older culprits may be found.
Wil! Not Handle "Q" Freight.
Kansas City, April 1 The switch en
giueers and firemen of all roads entering
thejeity except the Burlington held a meet
ing laie last night at which they resolved
that after 12 'clock noon Monday, they
would rufuss to handle any Burlington
cars of freight, except it be live ntock or
perishable freight, which has been started
previous to that hour. A committee call
ed on the superintendents today and noti
fied them of the order. If road engineers
are put in the yards to do the switching,
or new men are hired in their places, then
the switchmen w 11 refuse to work. The
managers of the lines hav not yet made
known what they will do, but it is pre
sumed they will attempt to handle the
ireight.
Brutally Outraged by Two Tramps.
New York, April 1. Miss Lizzie East
man, teaching school in one of the farm
iug districts of Clearfie'd county, wa?
found dead in the school house Friday
night. Her tongue had been cut from its
roots and was found beside the dead
body. The school had been dismissed as
usual at 4 o'clock and the pupils left the
teacher alone in the school house. In tlie
right hand of the dead woman was found
a lead pencil, and on the floor near Ik i
dead body was the particulars of her
death. Two tramps entered the school
house after the pupils had been dismiss
cd, overpowered and assaulted her, after-
waiit severed her tongue with a knife,
and &M leaving lur for dead. She re
covered sufficiently to wiite on the school
floor, ami had succeeded in giving the
above particulars, with a discretion of
h-r assailauts, when she evidently grew
too weak to write anv more s.nd died be
fore she was found.
The Cornell cf Women.
Washitcv, April 1. The afternoon
meeting of the international council of
women was occupied with addresses by
Matilda Joslyn Gage, Antoinetta Brown
BUckwell, Elizabeth Boynton, Isabella
IJerfher Hooker, Frances Willard and
others. The evening session was given
up principally to furtign di-legates, who
expressed their plmsure at the reception
they had met, and thtir faith in the good
accomplished. Mtv. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton made the closing addrcs?. She
said the council had been a success and
had proven that women t.re ready for
concerted sctjon. She complimented the
speakers, and raid :te La; alwajs looked
forward to entering the kingdom of
heaven enfranchised, and introducing
lere?l to t?t. Peter at the gate as a citi
zen of America. X lejter was received
this morning from a Russian Hihilist
which completes the countries sending
greetings to the council. Letters sent by
duTcrg.nt countries show the universal
interest in the touncjl all over the world.
She contrasted the, difference between the
manner in which the press received
the convention of forty years ago and
the reception of the present international
council, Tlie remit of the latter must
be of lasting effect. She contrasted the
queen of England's jubilee with this
jubilee of women.
Mrs. Stanton further said they asked
the men to celebrate this woman's jubilee
by placing in woman's hand the ballot.
When woman lias no care to take part in
government it proves tiiat she has not a
ripened mind. Woman is hedged about
with old prejudices and sustained in
these prejudices by men of common
sense.
Tomorrow at 3 o clock the final meet
ing of delegates will beheld at the Rigge
house.

A Group of Hindoo Pilgrims.
Tlio railway from Calcutta enters Benares
over a magnificent iron bridge just com
pleted across the Ganges. It springs by noble '
spans along great stone piers, the founda
tions of some of which, I am told, are sunken
30 feet below the bed of the river. We
paused at its northern end to let out soveral
hundred pilgrims. A strange sight they pre
sented iu their various conditions. There
were old women, almost bunt double with in-
lirmities or ago; tiiero were young women,
with half naked babies straddled on their
hips and leading others but a few j-ears older;
there were proud men, of noblo, manly bear
ing, and poor men, cringing and servile in
their poverty; there was opulent comfort,
with servants bearing its bedding and its
flno gear; there were others so weak that
they staggered under the weight of a single
basket or bundle which contained their
worldly wealth. All, when stepping from
the crowded cars, turned wistfully toward
the holy city, their e3'es betraying tho do
light felt that now at last they were about to
bathe in this holiest spot of the holiest of
rivers. Carter. Harrison's Letter.
Smoking Pipes in EnjjIanU.
Perhaps the customs connected with the
habit of smoking and using tobacco in Amer
ica and in England ore as interestingly char
acteristic of the two nationalities as any
other trait3. Thero is nothing undignified
about smoking a short "briar" or meerschaum
along the streets of London, Birmingham,
Manchester or any or the great English cities.
A gentleman is none the less a gentleman be
cause he does this. Indeed, to smoke a cigar
in preference to a pipe argues either expen
sive tastes or the pecuniary ability to gratify
them. What would our ladies think of a
well dressed young man coming down Broad
way about 4 in the afternoon with a nicotine
blackened pipe in his mouLlir Horrible su"
gestion I Yet in this country a man considers
it in perfectly good taste to walk into an
other's office with a cigar stump stuck firmly
in one corner of his mouth. Moreover, he
docs not take it out even to talk. Such be
havior in London would give direst offense
and would be construed into an intentional
insult. New York Press "Every Day Talk."
Many Specie of Orchids.
When Sir Trever Lawrence addressed the
conference, little more than three years ago,
he mentioned that 5,000 species were known
and 2,000 were under cultivation. If the
figures were true at that time they are vastly
too moderate now. Eight thousand and 3,000
are the proportions accepted at this date. If
a grower care for the science of his pursuit
he will find material for study, for intellect-
ual delight, also, in every one of these. It is
not the cultivated varieties which attract
h'm, chosen as they ore, of course, for beauty
of flower, but those dull in tint or micro
scopic, which offer such 6trongo problems,
such amazing contrivances, such startling
anomalies, to employ his mind. But 3,000
species worth a mere gardener's attention
give room enough assuredly. Saturday Re

Vac of the Mosquito.
The use of the musquito has been at last
discovered. Professor Webster says that
"injurious organic matter in the water, in
stead of decomposing and poisoning people,
is changed into 'wiggle-tails,' which, in due
time become musquitoes, and the winged
matter flies away, leaving the water purified
to the extent of their ability to remove the
impurities. If fish are kept in the water
they eat the 'wiggle-tails,' and grow large
enough to serve as food for man. Thus the
poisonous ingredient of impure water be
comes healthful food, v lthous musquitoes
most marshy or 6wampy land would be dan
gerously insalubrious." Boston Budget.

This was the only reply that a fashionably
dressed man could draw from the tail, slen
der, white whiskered guard iu the eiitrauco
hall of the Astor Library yesterday, who had
silently taken the mnu's cane away from him
and given him a cheek in return. The
guard's name is Slorse. He is reticent, se
vere and strictly polite, especially to women.
So much petty thieving iu former years was
going on the trustees were obliged to create
the guard's jiositioii, nd the present ineum
lent has many curious experiences. Sitting
in the classic atmosphere of tho marble corri
dor, beneath the gaze of marble busts of
Socrates, Aristophanes, Senaca and the
Cawars, he daily watches the modem world
with a sharp eye. No one is permitted to
carry a satchel, reticule, luneh box, shopping
lag, book or bundie of any kind, cane or um

This indispensable functionary down stairs
who enforces the rules must be an expert
for cranks are frequent and irascible repre
sentatives of the alleged gentler sex difficult
to be quieted when their parcels are taken
away. The reason and necessity of writing
a description of any book that is carried in
does not appear on tho surface, and nine out
of ten patrons require an explanation. "It
is eas3 to take up a ten cent book and walk
out with one worth as many dollars," said
tho guard to a reporter. "Fifteen out of
every twenty men will leave their canes and
umbrellas up stairs, and then come back to
find them lost if I did not keep them hero
with choela on them. Thero would be no end
of talk and confusion inside to disturb the
readers. Hand bags are too convenient for
concealing volumes when the patron takes
his departure. Some put books under their
coats but are likely to be caught, because
scrutinize every one. Hundreds of dollars a
year are saved in this way, and still, with all
precce.tion, you cannot stop tho thefu en

to put every one through the same inspection,
so as to,lnake sure of finding the dishonest."

Charitable Fair in Switzerland.
After dinner we went to the vente, or char
itable fair, which the young ladies of tho
town were holding in one of the public build
ings. It was bewilderingly like tho church
fair- of an American country town, socially
and materially. The j-oung ladies had made
all sorts of pretty knick knacks, and were
selling them at tho little tables set about tho
room; they also presided, more or less allur
ingly, ut fruit, coffee and ice cream stands;
and I will not be sure, but I think some of
them seemed to lie flirting with the youth of
tho other sex. Thero was an auction going on,
end the place was full of tobacco smoke.
which tho women appeared not to mind. A
booth for tho sale of wine and beer was set
off, and there was a good deal of amiable
drinking. This was not like our fairs quite ;
and I am bound to say that the lieoplo of
Aiglo had more polished manners, if not bet
ter, than our country town average. W.D.

Street Car Conductors and Drivers.
"How often do street car conductors and
drivers miss their cars in the moraine: j"
'Not often, I tell you," said an employe.
"When we miss our car we go to the foot of
the list and take our chances with the new
men. sometimes it is nearly a year before
we can get another car regularly. I have
seen the boys running to the barns in tho
morning half dressed. Once I saw a driver
in the winter rushing through the snow in
his bare feet, his boots in his hands, yet, poor
fellow, he was two minutes late after all.
He had a big family, and I noticed he went
around behind some cars. I was a good
friend of his, and Elipped around at the risk
of missing my own car to comfort him a lit
tle, and found he had broken down, and Was
taking a good cry. Luckily, he got back in
two weeks." Chicago Tribune.
Safety of Building Associations.
The co-operative banks, sometimes called
building associations, although they never
build directly, are the very ingenious out
growth of an endeavor to make the savings
of men of moderate means yield a higher
rate of interest than savings banks pay, and
also to distribute these savings in small loans
among the same class. They have proved
eminently safe and successful in both re
spects. But here, also, the borrower must
have a "margin," albeit a smaller one will
pass muster than in the savings banks. This
is no indication of insecurity, for the loan is
at its raaiiaum and the "margin" at its
minimum only at the outset, for the monthly
payments immediately and constantly in
crease tho latter and decrease the former.

824 B. C. from a fever contracted while sur
