WAR IS IMMINENT.
The GrowlBC European Crlsli GrMtly'Ag.
gravated by Italy's Conditio.
It is the Italian situation which most
directly threatens in this growing Eu
ropean crisis. France has shown sur
prising and most creditable restraint
daring the past two weeks. Her ambi
tious purpose has not been misjudged by
those who have seen the sinister designs
behind her protestations of peace, but
she is wise enough to know that the hour
for the execution of her plans .has not
quite come. But if Italy assumes an ag
gressive part she will play into French
hands. France is ready, and with her
new ally at her back will rejoice if one
of her adversaries will assume the re
sponsibility of making the attack.
The situation in Italy does not im
prove. It has become intolerable, and
some violent result of the crisis seems
inevitable. There is some truth in the
statement that the trouble is caused
more by moral than material decadence.
Patriotism has waned. The country is
bankrupt not because it cannot pay its
taxes, but because it will not pay. The
reply of the Marquis dr Budini to Pre
mier Giolitti is justified when he says it
is useless to impose additional taxes, be
cause they will yield no more than the
old ones. The people best able to pay
will, the marquis asserts, evade pay
ment with more ingenuity and persever
ance. Giolitti's government recognizes tho
truth of this observation, and it is this
fact which gives color to the reports
that the present ministry has been con
sidering a war with France as a desper-,
ate remedy for the solution of its dilem
ma. The people would willingly supply
the sinews of war, but they refuse long
er to be victims of the thieves in high
places, whose guilt is notorious, but who
are protected by all the resources of the
government and crown. If winter were
just ending instead of approaching, it
would be a question of days only, in the
opinion of many people, when Italy
'would fire the first gun in the greatest of
European wars.
Meantime the crisis is a most embar
rassing one for the present rulers of the
peninsula. It is difficult to see how the
winter can be passed without a crash of
some sort. Already the popular discon
tent is at the point of revolution in some
parts of the kingdom. The overnment
continues to pour troops into Sicily, and
its newspaper organs virtually admit
that the aim is the suppression of sedi
tion rather than the extirpation of brig
andage, although the latter laudable
work is proceeding incidentally. It haB
been ascertained that the Fasci or asso
ciations of revolutionary socialists have
a membership of 300,000, embracing all
classes in Sicily; Even some regiments
are tainted, and severe disciplinary
measures have had to be taken against a
regiment of artillery at present in the
garrison at Palermo. The Sun corre
spondent says that serious disturbances
may occur at anj moment. New York

THE LAW'S DELAY.
A Persistent Boy's Fight For Personal
Damages Against a Railroad.
The suit of Dennis Spillane against the
Missouri Pacific Railway company is
aarain on trial before Judge Slover. It
is tho third trial. Dennis is a 13-year-old
boy, who, in the summer of 1888,
while crossing the track at the foot of
Grand avenue, was run over by a Mis
souri Pacific train. He. was knocked to
the side of the track, his scalp was fairly
torn from his skull, and two fingers
were cut off his left hand. The boy's
head was sewed up by Dr. Iuen, and to
the surprise of every one he recovered.
Ever since the accident, however, he
has been subject to epileptic fits, com
plains of pains in his head at all times
and is unable to attend school or per
form any work.
Dennis at once brought suit for $20,
000 damages. The cause came up for
trial in 18S9, and the jurj- awarded him
$8,000. The case was taken to the su
preme court on an error made by Judge
Slover in his instructions to the jury and
remanded back for trial. At the second
trial the jury failed to agree upon the
amount of damages, and the case has
since hung, in tho courts. Kansas City

Tho First of Its Kind.
The first wedding of colored people
that ever occurred in the gubernatorial

on a recent afternoon. Winston Edwards,
the governor's chief butler, who has
served faithfully in his position under
both Governor Lee and the present ex
ecutive, and Jenny Leigh, an attractive
maid, who has been m tho governor's
service for several years, were united in
marriage by the Rev. Dr. Hunter of the
Third Street African Methodist Episco
pal church. After the ceremony, which
was witnessed by several of the gov
ernor's household, the happy couple left
on a bridal tour, which embraced a visit
to the World's fair. Richmond Dispatch

THE NEW CHINESE LEGATION.
TJw Minister aad Bis Salts tive Royally
la Washlerten Regardless of Expense.
The new leea'tion has taken three
housM for which the Chinese govern
ment pays $20,000 a year. They now
occupy the old Sumner house, which is
an annex of the Arlington. -The United
States nald 4200 a day for the board o
the infanta while her suite occupied
these quarters. Yung Yu is paying $300
a day and says he thinks it is very
chean. While the women are kept in
seclusion, the men have the run of the
house and make themselves thoroughly
at home, a part oi tne aeieganon were
once in England and speak the English
language fluently. They have the free
and easy manner of the westerner and
show a disposition to talk to any one
who will listen. The minister himself is
as dark as a sunburnt mulatto, being at
least three shades blacker than the other
members of the delegation.
Yung Yu says he is very well pleased
with American cooking, but. he has
taken the precaution to provide himself
with a Chinese cook and has installed
him in the hotel kitchen. The legation
eat but little meat, dining chiefly on
vegetables. Yung Yu has never been
out of China before. He was not a man
of the highest rank in China, but like
Eo-Ko, though in a different way, rose
to distinction. He was an official in the
province of Chin-Keang which corre
sponds there to the position of collector
of the Boston port here. It was strictly
on his merits that he was chosen by the'
prime minister to represent the emperor
in this country pending tho delicate re
lations between the two nations in con
sequence of the Geary act. As long as
there aro any strained relations existing
no member of the legation will be al
lowed to accept the hospitality of an
American, that being the law of tho em

A CLEVER SWINDLER.
A Frenchman Wearing the Rosette of the
Legion of Honor a Sharp Scoundrel.
A really clever thief is engaged just
now in robbing people in Pans who pos
sess securities payable to bearer. His
plan is to do a little business with some
of the Parisian banks in order that he
may have an excuse for hanging about
th8 counters. He then watches the
bank's customers, especially ladies, and
when he sees one of them receive from
the clerks any bonds or other scrip to
bearer he quietly makes a note of the
person's name and tho numbers on the
documents. Having ascertained the ad
dress of his proposed victim, he calls
there later in the day or early the next
morning, and representing that he is a
clerk .from the bank, asks for the secun
ties, alleging that there is some little in
formality in them that has to be recti
fied. As he is armed with tho numbers,
in nine cases out of ten the customer
gives up the documents quito nnsuspect
ingly.
So far this ingenious swindler has
eluded all efforts to detect hini. He is
described as a gentlemanly lookiug man,
who wears the rosette of an "officer" of
the Legion of Honor, the little bit of
ribbon of a plain "chevalier" apparently
being thought not sufficiently imposing
now that such decorations are so plenti

His Iiast Fencing; Lcuon.
A dispatch from Lyons announces that
a sad accident has occurred at the Mill
tary Medical school there. M. Jourdau,
who was just about to take one of the
highest medical degrees in the school,
was having a fencing lesson from the
maitre d'armes, when during a vigorous
attack by the pupil a short piece broke
off the end of the masters foil. M.
Jourdan, who was making a lunge, liter
ally spitted himself on the blade. He
went- up stairs to his room, fell on the
bed and died in about an hour, in spite
of all efforts to save him. No blame is
attached to tho fencing master, as the
accident could not have happened but
for the violence of his pupil's attack,
M. Jourdan took the first prize for f enc
mg last j-ear anil was training for a
coming assault at arms. Foreign Ex

The Katydid Was a Rattler.
There was a decided commotion at the
home of J. D. Wells, in East Sedalia, re
cently. For several days Mrs. Wells had
heard a peculiar buzzing m the closet
where wearing apparel was kept, and
was of the opinion that tho noise was
made by a captive katydid. Several
times she was on the point of making an
investigation, but household duties dis
tracted her attention and she failed to
make the search. Saturday her husband
went into the closet to secure a heavy
pair of trousers which he intended to
don on account of the cool weather.
Taking them from tho hook, he gave
them a vigorous shake, when out dropped
a rattlesnake 3 feet in length, the reptile
being what tho occupants of tho house
had mistaken for a katydid. Sedalia

Railroad Traffic During the Fair.
So far as the figures at hand go they
show that the number of people brought
into Chicago by tho 21 passenger lines
entering here during the fair period were
in round numbers 3,335,000. This allows
350,000 each for the five leading passen
ger lines, 300,000 each for the five next
following, 150,000 each for the nest group
of five, and 50,000 each for the six weak
lines. Allowing each of these passengers
to have visited the fair five times would
account for an attendance of 10,75.3,000,
which would be a good proportion of
outside visitors. It would leave but a
little over S.OOO.OOOjvisits from Cbicago

Negroes Who Pass For Whites.
At the census of 1880 nearlv 84 per
cent of the colored population was un
der 10 years of age, while at the census
of 1890 only 28 per cent was under 10
years of age. Samuel tu. Tatum, a
Washington negro, in explaining this,
says: "it may be a fact that the colored
population is constantly falling off in its
increase, for which there may be a great
many reasons. We should first take in
to consideration tho vast number of peo
ple of color leaving the race yearly.
There are thousands who emigrate from
the south so light in complexion that in
tho north they are supposed to be white.

In Philadelphia tho other day there
was a striking evidence of the intense de
Eire of some people to "exhibit the re
mains" at funerals. A man had died of
iiphtheria, and the authorities very prop
erly refused to permit a public funeral.
So tho family had the coffin containing
the corpse stood on end in front of a

.INDIANA WOMEN SLUMMERS.
They Visited Chicago With the Best at
Motives aad Were Shocked.
The Indianapolis members of the Chi
cago "slumming" expedition have re
turned home. The ladies who joined in
the expedition are recognized leaders in
W. C. T. U. work in Indiana. All of
them are reported as excessively cha
grined over the publicity given theii
visit to Chicago slums, which was under
taken with the best of motives.
"There are some falsehoods which
should be corrected," saj-s Miss Ayres.
"We left our lodgings at lip. m. and
returned at 1:15 precisely. We did not
visit the worst resorts either. We
aimed .to inspect the more decent &-
rieties, but the Lord knows for that
matter they were all bad enough.
The detective who guided us said it wai
no uncommon occurrence for parties of
religious ladies to visit theso resorts for
scientific purposes, and our visit would
never had leaked out if it had not been
for a Judas Iscariotof a newspaper man,
who cave the whole affair away.
"We had but one simple, solitary and
landatory purpose in making the visit,"
continued tho lady. "We wanted to
find some practical means of elevating
fallen women. Our object was to ascer
tain what relationship the tobacco and
liquor habits bear to' this unmentionable
vice which we are seeking to cure. If
we can strike at the root of the disease,.
it will be a comparatively easy matter
to euro the disease itself. We ascer
tained that there was a very close rela
tionship between tho three vices, and
that the latter is superinduced bj the
tobacco and liquor habits. Now we
know whatever we do to lessen the
amount of tobacco and liquor sold, by
just that much will wo lessen the vice
which wo aro aiming at."
Miss'Ayres was asked if what the la
dies saw was calculated to lessen their
estimation of humanity in general.
"Thev were simply shocking. I had
never dreamed that so much evil exist
ed. Most of tho resorts were like gilded
palaces and were always accompanied
oy liquor and tobacco attachments
where the girls indulged a3 freely as the
men. I never want to see tho like again.
We were not prompted bv morbid curi
osity. We wero working in the inter
ests of social purity, and our motives
were of the highest character. W o be
lieve that we did a good work." In

THAT WONDERFUL DIAMOND.
It la the Largest EverKaewa aad Is Werth
S,aa,aa Haw It Was Feand.
Captain Jonas Anderson of the firm
af Westergaard A Co., shipbrokers of
this city, was the center of a group of
curious ones recently as he carefully
opened a box which had been mailed to
him all the way from Cape Town. As
he unfolded layers of paper wrappings
everybody was on the qui vive, and at
last he triumphantly displayed a plaster
cast of the newly discovered Excelsio:
diamond, the largest known in the world.
The discovery of the monster diamond
in the Jagersfontein mine was made on
the evening of June 30 last Captain Ed
ward Jorgansonn, the superintendent of
the mine, who is a son-in-law or Captain
Anderson, was just quitting work after
seeing the men out of the diggings when
suddenly a bright lump attracted him,
and he stooped to pick it up. At the same
time a native Basut truck driver saw it
and grabbed it. CaptainJorgansonn told
the native to take it to Manager GuTord.
That gentleman pronounced ita diamond
of the first water and worth about $5,-
000.000. It was a curious fact and much
commented on that a firm, Messrs. Breit-
mever & Bernheimer, had just contracted
with tho company to take over all its
finds for one month at a certain price,
and the very first find on their contract
was the Excelsior.
Extraordinary precautions were taken
'in transporting it to the coach. A troop
of the Sixteenth lancers escorted it to
Capo Town, where it was transferred to
the gunboat Antelope, and is now de
posited in the Bank of England. The
British government has offered 500,000
for it, which has been declined. The
Chicago World's fair commissioners
were very anxious to get the giant bit
of costly carbon, and offered to insure
it to the extent of $3,500,000, but the
proprietors wero obdurate And would
not let the stone cross the ocean. The
stono is white, with a bluish tinge, and
reflects all the colors of the rainbow.
It measures 3 inches in length, 2
inches in its broadest part, and weighs
971 carats, or 7 ounces avoirdupois.
The only flaw is a small black spot right
in the centre. This, however, can easily
be cut out Tho Emperor of Germany
is said to be negotiating for its purchase.

SWEET PROSPERITY.
CHARGED TO A WOMAN.
It Is Said Tlint tho American Wife of Bar
rios Has Caused the Guatemalan Trouble.
A woman again. Wo learn that the
prompter of the receut revolution in the
republic of Guatemala, through which a
dictatorship has been set up, was an am
bitious woman, the American wife of
General Barrios, a lady whose namo is
not unknown in New York. The ene
mies of Barrio3 in Guatemala declare
that it was she who induced him to pro
claim himself dictatoV, and who is the
author of the arbitrary policj under
which the country is ruled at this time,
and under which the deputies aro kept
in prison and tho army is held read for
'.notion and suspected persons are ban
ished, and the people are compelled to
keep as quiet as thej' can. The enemies
of Barrios say that he has neither the
pluck nor the brains needed for a dic
tator, and that he is merely the tool of
the determined American woman whom
he took to wife.
She may yet rue the day in which she
conceived the dictatorship. The an
ti-Barrios Guatemalans are aroused
against her. They denounce her in
whispers. They condemn her in pi
cards, which are stuck up iu tho night
time on the dead walls and fences of the
city of Guatemala la 2sueva. They get
out circulars, which are surreptitionslv
pnnteu ana secretly uistnbuteu, in
which she is characterized as an 'Amer
ican interloper." There is no doubt that
she is in danger. If the Constitutional
ists who are lurking around the capital
and on the Salvadorian frontier, stealth
ily preparing to take the field against
the dictatorship, shall overthrow Bar
rios, we cannot sav that she will not
suffer as hard a lot as she has been
charged with inflicting upon others.
We are surprised at her course. Amer
icans ought to be the champions of dem
ocratic freedom and republican institu
tions everywhere. New York Sun.
Where 1,000,000 Pounds ofSncar Is Made
1'er Week und Everybody Is Happy.
A Napoleonville correspondent of the
New Orleans Times-Democrat writes as
follows:
Tho weather is all that could be de-
Bired, and cane cutting and grinding are
further advanced than havo ever been
known. Tho yield is excellent and the
extraction far above anything on record.
Mr. L. Godchaux's Elm Hall refinery
barreled up 1,000,000 pounds of sugar;
tho past week, the production of seven
days' grinding. About 900 tons of canf
per day passes through the reliefs, -10,-
000 pounds of granulated sugar falls
from the vacuum pans every six hours.
and under the skillful management of
Mr. Eddie Godchaux there is no letup in
this vast aggregation of machinery, not
for a minute. With 500 men under his
supervision not one hesitates, but all
know their duty and do it by some kind
of instinct, as it were.
During the day 100 wagons feed the
maw of this monster mill with cane, and
at night 500 cars are pulled in with 1,000
tons of cane to appease the ever crying
call for more cane. About eight miles
of railway are required to handle this
vast crop. A Baldwin locomotive will
take tho place of mule propulsion in a
few days. Yet with all this immense
acrcago ana all tnis cane to Handle tne
indomitable enterprise of the manager
has led to the incorporation of about 800
acres more new larfd, and even now can
be heard the terrific blasts of dynamite
operating with fatal effects on the
stumps that block tho progress of the
plow.
If anj one were to mention the fact
that this country was now in the throes
of a great financial panic that is, in this
section he would be sent to an asylum
for safe keeping. Times were never bet
ter, and altogether prosperity is on top.
and everybody is happy.

this distinguished honor is Colonel Grit-
zenko of Pottawa near Odessa, who, if he

hundred and twentieth birthday. Grit-
zenko entered the militarv servico iu tho
year 1789, 104 years ago, and received
from the hands of Empress Catherine

A Thorn In His Knee.
When a boy 17 years of age, in the
year looU, . rteweu, wno now resides
beyond Nichols' ranch and is now over
GO years of age, was out hunting and
ran in his knee what he supposed was a
thorn. It broke .off so deep in the knee
that the wound closed up, and all search
failed to locate it. Mr. Newell finally
concluded that lie was mistaken, and ev-
erybodv told him his troubles were
caused by rheumatism.
Of late the old gentleman's knee got to
be so bad that he had it lanced several
times and was treated for rheumatism.
A few days ago tho thorn worked its
way out and was found to be half an
inch in length. Mr. Newell says after
suffering untold misery for 43 j-ears he
now feels easier with the thorn in a lit
tle bottle instead of in his knee. Grass

Cannibalism In Sashallen.
The Vladivostock, a newspaper pub
lished in eastern Siberia, reveals a terri
ble state of affairs among the convicts on
the island of Saghalien. It would ap
pear that the convicts there have been
treated by some of the subordinate prison
authorities bo harshly that tho governor
of tho island has been obliged to inter
fere for their protection.
Awarder named KhanonT and some
of his assistants, who at one time were
convicts themselves and had been raised
to the rank of jailers, have been removed
from their posts. Khanoff's treatment
of tho prisoners was so abominablo that
a number of them crippled themselves,
tting off fingers and toes, in order to
bo treated as invalids and to bo freed
from his terrible cruelties. Others fled
to the impenetrable forest, where they
suffered all the horrors of hunger.
In a satchel belonging to a fugitive
convict who had been hunted down
were found some pieces of human flesh.
nvestigatiou revealed that this man had
been one of a party of four, and that
only ono of them now remained. The
others had been killed and devoured by
their comrades. Similar cases of canni
balism are, according to the Siberian
journal, not infrequent.
A Widow.
Our house servant is a Japanese, po
lite as are most of his race. Among his
duties is taking care of the chickens.
One day he chanced to find a nest of fine
eggs at the barn, away from the chicken
yard, contributed by a hen that had es
caped from the others, and as a conse
quence the eggs were not fertile. In ig
norance of this fact, however, an old
lady of our household a widow imme
diately put a hen to "set" on them. Bid
dy stuck to business, but to no purpose.
When the required time had more than
elapsed, the lady was very much put
out and puzzled that no chickens had
been hatched. Turning to the Jap, she
said, "What do you suppose is the mat
ter of thoso eggs, George?" George
(bowing low): "Excuse me, ma'am, ek-
.cuse me, out l tunc ldows again j, x
t'ink that hen was a widow." Widow
