People are now attracting atten
tion to themselves by going to tho
world's fair by all methods of trans
portation. Some go on horseback,
some on muleback, some on bicycles,
some walk and we may expect soon
to hear of balloon expeditions to
Chicago. But the good, old-fash
ioned palace car method still con
tinues the easiest way to get to the
fair.
Tiie czar of Russia professes to be
very much obliged for that extradi
tion treaty. Nevertheless no refugee,
will ever be sent back to the tender
mercies of St. Petersburg under any
trumped up charges of attempted
assassination. The people mean to
have theirs emphatic veto, if it over
comes to an actual revival in praotlce
of the methods of fugitive slave law
times in our courts.
Tiie reported invention of a new
gun in France which can pierce the
thickest armor plate is another indi
cation that the rivalry between the
offensive and the defensive in warfaro
is not to end until wo reach tho
interesting possibility of being able
to hurl an irresistible force against
an immovable and impenetrable body.
Then, porhap3, tho universal peace
societies may disband.
One of the unfailing ways to work
the normal temperature of the body
up to the melting point in this kind
of an atmosphere is to think about,
talk about and fret about tho
weather. Ask every man you meet
if it is hot enough for him, and then
smile over your original wit Tho
effort at smiling at such a remark
ought to cause enough friction to
raiso tho temperature a half dozen
degrees.
To the bright country lad who
wants to rise in the world, tho only
avenue of progress seems to be a
good education. The groat men of
his community are the doctors, the
lawyers and the ministers — all
probably college-bred, or at least
with a degree of culture obviously
above that of their neighbors. If
this country boy ha3 a soul above
the gatherings at the village corner
store, he finds no use for his time
but in reading such books as his
surroundings afford.
During the summer the American
boundary commission proposes to
establish definitely tho lino of demar
kation between Alaska and the ad
joining Canadian territory—an im
portant work that has been too long,
neglected. Valuable mineral deposits
lie within the disputed territory near
the head waters of the Yukon river,
and these cannot be developed until
the boundary line shall have been
definitely established. It is worthy
of note that, a3 far as possible, the
photographic method of survey will
be employed by the party assigned to
the inland work.
Attaching an electric motor to the

Is the latest novelty proposed. It
would do away with the objection of
the Irishman to this mode of locomo
tion, that ho had “as leif walk afut
as to ride afut.” But to would-bo
purchasers of bicycles tho improve
ment most needed is a great reduc
tion in price. Considering the ma
terial in them, bicycles cost more
than almost any other vohicle. There
is competition in carriage making
that" has brought down the price. It
is time that competition among
bicycle manufacturers did as much

A lady whose husband had been
murdered was trying upon the wit*
ness stand to tell as much about the
affair as lawyers would permit. She
described one Incident as having oc
cupied a quarter of a second of time.
The lawyer demonstrated that it
must have occupied four seconds,
and then a halo of triumph might
have been observed hanging fondly
to the bulge of his brow. Supposing
the lady hpd said “a jiffy,” or “an
instant,” or “a little while;” she
would doubtless have meant exactly
what she wished to convey when she
said a quarter of a second. Women
whose husbands are murdered can
hardly be expected to hold a stop
watch during tho episode.
“Lucky” Baldwin, the man who
own3 tho $10,030,003 ranch in Cali
fornia and counts his herds on 50,000
acres, has a more certain empire than
has Emporor William of Germany,
and probably would not exchange
places with the latter on an even
trade.
The American youth begins to learn
his Latin grammar when he is in his

BRUTAL MURDERER OF GIRLS
'WILL BE LYNCHED.
•apposed Slayer of tho Bay Girls Near
Wtokllffe, Kt.. Captured—Now Being
Takea Bank and on His Arrival He
Will Bs Burned at tho Miaka.
Cairo, 111., July 8.—Excitement ha a
boon running1 high in this city as well
as in Kentucky sver since the foul
murder of the two Kay girls at Wick
liffp Wednesday morning. A party o,f
200armed men scoured the forest across
the river until broad daylight and
once or twice seemed hard upon
Itt trail of the fiend. A reward of
91,000 wnt offered by citizen* for hi*
capture, but even that could not in
crease tlie zeal of those tvlio had
started out for the purpose of hunting
him down. Hut Iheir efforts were
without avail, and they did not learn
their mistake until yesterday.
Lust night a man answering the de
scription of tho one found in Iho corn
field yesterday appeared on the banks
of tlio Mississippi river five miles be
low Wickliffe und paid a fisherman to
take him across to tho other side. The
fisherman knew nothing of the crime
and suspected nothing. Half an hour
later two • armed men rode up and
camped on the river bank ail uiglit,
but did not disclose the object of their
presence. Early yesterday they con
fided in tho fisherman, who gave' them
it description of the man he had ferried
across, but it was too late.
Word was sent throughout the
country and the search was trans
ferred to Missouri, Illnodhounds Were
secured from the JBcdyville peniten
tiury, a steamer took the men across
and they were Boon upon the
human hyena. He was raptured st noon
yesterday in a bo* car nt Sikaston
Mo., twenty-eight miles south of this
city. The man ia a light-colored mu
1 'tto and give his name as C IVilson.
His clothing was bloody nnd had been
purposely smeared with dirt. lie had
upon his person a bloody razor and
two rings, which bad belonged to
Mary Kay, .the elder of the murdered
girls. lie was not captured until after
a desperate struggle.
Word was at once dispatched to this
city. A special train was chartered by
a party st Wieliliffo to go after the
murderer. It loft here at onco and
will return in a few hours,
when the negro will be taken
back to the scene of his crime
to meet, his fate. The populace tit
Wieltliffe is greatly aroused and there
are bold threats of burning him'at the
stake. Two steamers have been chart
ered to carry crowds from here, and
more than a thousand people w.ll be
present to see the lynching or burn
ing, which ever may be agreed upon.
Officials of the Treasury Department
Preparing for the Kxtra Session.
Washington, July 10.—The Evening
Star has this: “While members of con
gress and leaders in financial matters
are discussing the various plans by
which the present situation cun be re
lieved the officials of the Treasury de
partment are quietly preparing statis
tics and histories of financial transac
tions for the bonefit of the administra
tion to guide it in its own views on this
vital subject, in many of the bureaus
the chiefs are devoting their spare time
to the collection of this information, so
that it may be in the hands of the pres
ident and Secretary Carlisle at the ear
liest. possible moment.
“Several plans have been suggested
to Secretary Carlisle, and he lias them
under consideration. Among them is
one which will create considerable of a
stir in financ’al circles, as it contem
plate s an entire change in the money
system of the United States. In short,
the plan is to pass a specie resumption
act, redeeming all of the various kinds
of money now in use in this country',
and issuing instead a United States
treasury note whose value shall alway s
be fixed.
“There are at present nine different
forms of money in circulation. These
are gold coin, standard silver dollars,
subsidiary silver, gold certificates,
treasury notes of the act of July 14,
18‘.i0, United States treasury notes, cur
rency certificates and national bank
notes.
“The fact of the wide difference be
tween the value of gold and silver
coins, while they are theoretically of a I
parity, is one of the causes which .sug
gested the plan proposed. The plan
under consideration is to redeem all the
present paper currency, just as the
fractional currency was by the Sher
man act of 1875, and instead issue what
shall be known as the United States
treasury note. It shall be redeemed in
‘coin,’ but Id the act the definition of
this word is to be plainly stated. The
Bank of France has a law in whieh
not^s are redeemed paatly in gold and
partly in silver, and such a method has
been suggested for this country.
“In connection with this the advis
ability of passing a bill authorizing an
issue of notes redeemable in silver at
once, has been talked of.”

Ottawa. HI., July 8.— Cap*,. Max
Haas, of the drug firm of Haas &
Tesche, Mendota, and secretary and
treasurer of the Mendota Electric
Light company, was brought to Otta
wa this morniug and declared insane
in.the county court, Judge Lincoln
ordering him sent to Kankakee. The
captain was a man of splendid mental
attainments and ability, but about six
months ago he was attacked by nerv
ous troubles, and has since possessed
the delusion that he has robbed the
light company of many thousand dol
lars and that he will be arrested and
hanged or burned at the stake. He
has frequently attempted to strangle
himself. The light company’s books
balance perfectly and Haas is a man of
large means.
Appealed From tlie Decision.
Washington, July, 0.—The recent
decision of Judge Newman of the Unit
ed States court of Georgia, in which the
attempt of the Interstate Commerce
commission to enforce the long and
short haul clause of the interstate com
merce act against certain roads operat
ing lines in the state of Georgia, was
nullified, was something of a surprise
to the commissioners. As soon as the
full decision of Judge Newman was re
ceived the commission took an appeal
to the United States court of appeals for
that district. It is expected that the
court at its October session will prompt
ly reverse Judge Newman's judgment

Ckjcaoo, July la-rTbe attendances
at the world's fair yesterday waa very
light—so light as to ralso doubt in somo
minds as to whether the open Sundays
are to prove tho financial boon to tlio
fair that was expected. While the ex
position officials express satisfaction
over the attendance, it is ho secret that
concessionaries are greatly disappointed
at tho lack of the bristling multitudes
that woro fondly anticipated for this
period of the fair. As nearly all con
cessionaries are compelled to pay 33
per cent of their gross receipts into tho
exposition's coffers, they are of course,
the first to feel the results of light at
tendance. Tho Wellington Catering
company and nearly all other catering
and restaurant establishments are cut
ting down their forces, and tho Iligea
Water company, tho most enterprising
Institution cm tho grounds, has made
radical reductions in its working force
until the attendance shall become such
ns to justify tho previous expectations.
The regular Sunday services were tho
only special attraction at the park to
day, and tho now established fact that
many exhibits nro entirely closed on
.Sundays no doubt workod somewhat lo
diminish tho Sunday attendance.
The first of tho Michigan Central in
dustrial excursions entered tho grounds
today. A special train boro about 4.30
employes of the Michigan Central's ear
shops of Detroit: All these employes
and . their families are furnished
vi impasses. it is expo-tod that the
benefit that fhey will derive from the
unsurpassed exhibition of industrial and
decorutive arts at the world's fair will
bo highly appreciated by llieso work
men and will redound to the interests
of tiie company in the improvement of
their toehniuui skill, the character of
their work anil tlio training of their
perceptive and inventive faculties.
Commissioner ’ (Jcncral Pnllts-hek
Palinfrost, of Austriif, says he is in fa
vor of permitting the sale and immedi
ate delivery of goods by exhibitors, lie
said ho was not ashing more than fiud
been granted at previous international
exhibitions, noriyorothan was allowed
certain American exhibitors at tho
present World’s Fair. The latter, as
was becoming generally known, he said
were selling goods quite openly, and lie
has been informed that Ihcguards have
been instructed to close their eyes to
tho practice, at least so fur as a certain
few are concerned. Tho commissioner
insisted that it was only right that all
exhibitors should Vie put on the same
footing. Ho added that it was au un
written law, or at leas?a privilege, at
all expositions that restrictions against
tho sale of articles brought in as exhib
its should not bo enforced.
The Terrible llavnc at Pomoroy.
Pomkkov, la., July 10.—Yesterday
was a sad Sunday for pcoplo of Pom
eroy. All day long people loaded down
with flowers passed down the winding
road that leads to tho cemetery, depos
iting their perfumed burdens on tho
forty odd nude graves where lie all that
is mortal of what was last Sunday hap
py and prosperous people.
The total number of persons killed
by tho tornado here and elsewhero is
placed at eighty. Hundreds of peoplo
poured into the town all day long.
They came from every direction and in
all manners. Much trouble was ex
perienced in handling tho crowds. Tho
Fort Dodge cor.ipany of the State guard,
which has been on duty since last Fri
day, constitute tho sole police force and
the members are pretty well tired out
There were but forty of them and
they were unable to control the hun
dreds of sightseers. Ropes were final iv
thrown around the ruins. These, with
the assistance of guards, kept back
somewhat the pushing, jostling mass.
The sanitary condition of Pomery
was never good, the town being located
on a perfectly flat strip. The drainage
facilities are miserable. All the sewers
are stopped with debris and wreckage
and as a result, pools of water formed
by tiie recent heavy rains are scattered
all over the ground. The further fact
that dead animals of every description
aro strewn about tho town makes the
situation worse.
The injured, so the doctors report, arc
doing as well as could be expected un
der the circumstances, but tho outlook
for their recovery is not regarded so fa
vorable ns it was yesterday. Then it
was thought not more than ton or
twelve would die. Hut today it is esti
mated that fully twenty-one will bo un
able to survive their injuries. There
were no more deatiis today, but some
are likely to occur before morning.
Among those who are very low and for
whom little hopes are entertained for
their recovery, are Mrs. John Davy and
her sister-in-law, Miss Kate Davy; Ray
Keefer, a boy; Joseph Demurs, Mike
Quinlan, whose wife was killed; Airs.
Henry Dike, who lost her husband, and
1. ill in a Spies. These people are hurt in
ternally, besides having broken bones.
I lie death list was increased today by
three. A body of a woman was found
under the ruins of a house, together
with two of her children, a boy and a
girl.
* l'cupic wno nave cnarg© oi tilings
here are censured because tliey have
not made a more thorough search of
the ruins. The finding of the three
bodies toil ay they point to as pretty
good evidence that there are remains
of other victims in the wreckage. Many
complaints are still made of the work
of the human vuftures who commenced
operations immediately after the storm
and who have kept busy ever since. It
is estimated that SMO.Oi/o has been sto
len fiom the ruins since Friday.
Money is coming from all the towns
in the state and ihcre lias been received
at headquarters up to G o’clock this
evening £9,000.
.lust before the storm came up two
boys, each about sixteen years of age,
hired a boat at the foot of llarrv ave
enue. They were about a mile from
shore when the squall struck them. At
midnight neither the boat nor its occu
pants had reached the shore and it ia
lusted that the boys were drowned.

ST. Lot’ll, Mo., July 7, 1893.—1Til*
financial pioblem Is exciting so much
interest throughout tho country that
aim st tho first question asked ‘of any
city is, ni to how it withstood tho
tumbles ol the spring and early sum* ’
nier. St. Louis has every reason to
congratulate itself on the result of the
first six months' business of the year.
The real estate transfers represented
a larger total than tor any naif year
with tho exception of that endinir
June 1NW, widen was by far the best
on record. The 1893 total is far In ex
cess of thut total of 189; which was ro
Sordid ns a temarkably good year.
The bank clearings for tho six month*
just ended wore the largest on record
| mid with Hie exertion of tho June
| total each month showed u very large
Increase over tho i onesponding month
last year, when money wus compara
tively easy. Contldenco In quite gen
eral la commercial circles and the
credit of establishments generally has
not been materially impared.
The arrangement between the rival
bridge c muanies, whereby it may be
luude possible to use tno Merchants’
bridge uml its elevated route for ail
DHKsenpcr trains entering the city
from the East, reserving the tunnel
roulo for freight business, appours to
lmvo been nearly consummated, and
although the details have not yet been
made public the presidents of both
systems admit thut arrangements liuvo
been made. This will lead to tho
traffic being expedited very materially,
and will certainly be a benefit both to
the traveling aud tho freight distrib
uting public. Tho increase of traitia
tins year, largely in consequence of
the travel from the East and South to
the World ■ Fair, hua been a matter
of general comment, au«l by making
full use of both bridges and terminal
systems it will le possible to handle
the traffic more expeditiously and at
less expense. The bridge across the
river at Alton Is being pushed forward
rapidly and this will give another val
uable terminal system und entrance
from ihe North.
The success of the fast mail train
running north has been marked, and
it has opened up quite a largo territory
whUli, although within two or three
hours' distance by rail from St. Louis
could not bo conveniently reached
from it except by the morning and
night trams. Thu travel on the roads
running dire: t between St. Louis and
Chicago is also remarkable und It is
getting quite usual to run these trains
in double sections.
'J he question ai extending the city
limits has again boon raised. It is
nearly eigetecn years lince the city
limits were materlally increased ami
since then there has grown up a largo
number of suburban towns and sue*
t o rn witli an aggregate population
considerably in excess of 100,0 >0. Bev
erul ol the e districts are supplied with
electric lights from power plants with
in the city and In other ways the tee*
tions are becoming ntoru lin'd mors
urban every day, resulting in quite is
demand for annexation. Almost ths
ouly drawback to St. Louis county as
a ro-ident section is tho difficulty in
obtaining a goo I supply of water, re
liance having to be placed lu a large
measure on cisterns for supply. The
progress on the now city water works
has been so rapid that they will soon
be in a position to supply water to over
a million people and ulrendy applica
tions are coming from sections of the
county for a supply. There are obvi
ous objections to supplying generally
dbtricts whose residents do not contri
bute to the municipal revenue and thie
desire for a water supply is in conse
quence increasing tho prospects of an
nexation.
Canal System of Franca.
In France railways have never been
permitted to puroliuso and throw out
of use or otherwise break down com
peting canals. More than 9300,000,000
has been expended by the state for the
enlargement and improvement of its
inland waterways ivithin the present
century. The perfecting of tho vast
network of canals and rivers made nav
igable has, however, been the work of
the present republic, which has spent
9200,000,000 in facilitating by these
means tho transport of heavy goods
throughout the interior of the country.

In “Purchas. His Pilgrimage,” a rare
old time book, very few copies of which
are now in existence, the following ac
count is given of the “digmie&s” of Ice

little men and women here who repre
sent the most perfect shape of men, but
they are hairy to the utmost joints of
the. fingers, the males haring beards
down to the knees; but, although they
have the shape of'a man. vet they have
little sense or understanding, nor dis

Cigarettes Invade Penis.
It has taken just seventeen years to
convert Persia into a nation of cigarette
smokers. Before that time cigarettes
in the dominions of the shah were un
known. all the tobacco smoking being- •
by “kalians" or ‘'hubble-bubbles” and
chibouks, or. long wooden pipes with,
red clay bowls. But it happened .that
about 1ST0 somebody introduced from
Turkey the variety known as Vcigar
ette tobacco" into Ghilan, whence its
use has spread. Now, so general is the
practice that even the lowest peasant
In Persia goes about with a cigarette
case and makes bis own “smokos.”
