Trial at radon, 111., Helleved to He

IrUI.
HE trial of Fred
Harttnan for tho
murder of Mrs.
Welbko Qeddo has
been begun in tho
Ford count) circuit
court at Paxton,
111. Tho murder of
Mrs. Gcddo was ono
of atrocious hor
ror". Slio was the
wlfo of n Qcrmun
farm laborer In Ford county, near Sib
Icy, not far from Anchor, In McLean
count. On tho morning of Dec. 2 her
husband loft her at day light, sleeping
with her llttlo daughter, aged 0. Soon
thereafter n man entered tho house and
drugged her from tho bed, strangled
and beat her to death and left hor
hanging suspended by a cord to tho
knob of tho kltchon door. Qcddo wob
flrBt suspected. A mob vlHltcd Paxton
to hang Hartman, but tho prisoner had
been removed to Urbuna and later wbb
taken to Danville. Hartman has como
o bo regarded by tho pcoplp of tho sec
tion as a second Jack tho Ripper, ns
ho Is suspected of having murdered
two women, besides Mrs. Ucddc. Tho
means used In each of tho murders
havo been identical hanging of tho
victim by a ropo attached to a door
knob. Tho first woman who Is alleged
to havo found death at tho hands of
Hartman was Mrs. Carrlo Lentz of
Danforth, III., who was hanged to a
door hnob by a plcco of ropo taken
from a bundlo of nursery stock. Hart
man had been working In tho vicinity
and soon after thocrlmowasdlscovercd
ho moved away. It was noticed thut
ho had a gold watch after tho murder
something ho had never had beforo
and a watch which was known to
havo belonged to Mrs. Lentz could not
be found.
Hartman max! 'went to work for a
fnrmcr living nea'r Melvln, and not
many months after his arrival in tho
neighborhood a woman Mrs. S'fklns
was found murdered, her neck having
around it a ropo which was attached
to a door knob. This murdor was com
mitted last August.
When, on tho morning of Dec. 2, 1890,
tho body of Mrs. Ocdo was found, It
was not long beforo Hartman, who was
still working near Melvln, about three
miles from tho home of tho Qcddo fam
ily, was suspected of tho crime. Ho was
arrested tho following Sunday. As soon
s It was learned at Gibson City thut
Hartman had been arrested thero was
strong talk of lynching, and this senti
ment grew and intensified In an alarm
ing manner. Ho was lodged In the jail
at Paxton and all possible precaution
taken to guard against a surprlso by
lyuchors.
On tho evening of Dec. 1G a mob of
mon from Drummer township, in the
vicinity of the murder, arrived at Pax
ton for tho avowed purposo of lynch
ing Hartman. Tho plan was to meet
other mobs from Melvln nud Danforth
and for tho combined forces tto make
an attack on tho Paxton Jail, take out
Hartman and hang him. Sheriff Ma
son, however, had heard of tho plan
and had removed tho prisoner "over
land" to tho jail at Urbanu.
A few days later thoro was an alarm
ing story at Urbana. It was said that
a big mob was to attack tho Jail of
Champalgu county and lynch Hartmnn.

Ai soon as possible tho prisoner was
removed to tho jaU at Danville.

LORD BALTIMORE'S TRIAL.
An Old Hook Throw Light on Lilt
Century Hcandal.
An old book of curious Intorcst to
students of Maryland history was yes
terday presented to the Enoch Pratt
Frco Library, It was published In Lon
don in 17G8 and contains a report of tho
trial of Frederick Calvert, tho sixth
and last Lord Daltimore, upon tho
charge of abducting a ytfiing Quaker
milliner named Sarah Woodcock. Ser
vants of Lord Daltimore, malo and to
malo, carried tho girl from her homo
In London to his lordship's country
placo near Epsom, In County Surroy,
where sho was detained for several
weeks. When rescued by her friends
sho at first would mako no formal com
plaint against Lord Daltimore, becauso
of a misunderstanding of tho nature of
tho legal proceedings, and It was upon
this technicality that his lordship was
acquitted. His dismissal aroused n
great storm of popular Indignation In
London, which was fomented by
pamphletcors and anonymous writers
to such n degree that Lord Daltlmoro
wap obliged to retlro from England
nnd spend tho rest of hlB life abroad.
Ho died three yearn later, in 1771, In
Italy. Ho left no lcgltlmato heirs, and
tho colony of Maryland and his estates
in Ireland and England passed to a
natural son named Henry Harford, af
ter whom Harford county was named.
Harford was tho last owner of lary
land prior to the revolution. The book
wns recently purchased at auction In
Philadelphia, with other old volumes,
by Mr. Charles Weathres Dump, by
whom It was given to tho Pratt li
brary. Copies of It aro already con
tained in tho Pcabody and Maryland
Historical libraries.

MADE VICTIMS OF WHITE CAPS
Masked Men Living- Near Covington, Ky
Meat Harry Ilarolln.
At Oklahoma, a settlement just soutt
of Covington, Ky recently, six mon,
dressed as women, and wearing white
masks knocked at tho door of a hut
occupied by Harry Hamlin, better
known as Rough Tough. Living with
Hamlin was Mrs. Alice Harrison, who
had left her husband. Mrs. Harrison,
clad in her night (Slothes, asked who
was there, when tho men burst open
tho door. Threo of them seized Mrs.
Harrison, and tho other threo Hamlin.
Tho two wero dragged to tho bank of
tho Licking .river, a stop being made la
a thicket. Doth victims wore stlrpped
and lashed with heavy switches, all
Glx white caps taking a hand. The vic
tims were left lying unconscious on
tho ground. They havo both been in a
sorlouB condition since, but wero pro
nounced out of danger to-night. Mrs.
Harrison states that sho was dragged
from the hut by tho hair, and was in
sensible before tho men began beating.
Tho back of each victim Is badly bruis
ed. Mrs. Harrison recognized tho six
men. Jamas Meyers, a young laborer
living near the Bceno, was arrested. Ho
denied having been a participant, but
admlted knowledge of the white cap
ping. Ho gave tho pollco threo names
and to-night Donjamln Nlenaber wns
arrested.

OCEAM TRAVEL.
The Froper Fees to De Given for Bar.
lce on Hoard Ocean Strau.hlp..
Fees are too Indefinite to bo regu
lated by rule, but certain nmounts aro
customary nt sea. Tie voyager, if ho
Is not seasick, Is dependent for com
fort first on tho table steward. To
this man It keerna to bo tho rulo to
glvo 2.50 for one or $C for two or
threo persons in a party, whether ono
Is served In regular courses or orders
what he please from tho bill. Late
suppers might increase tho fee. One's
next friend Is the deck steward, if ho
Is attentive and has followed out sug
gestions about tho steamer chair and
rugs. Sometimes ono can eat on deck
when it is fntnl to go below, and then,
If the deck stoward Is obliging, ho de
Jrvoa the larger part of what would
go to tho table steward In regulai
course. If tho weather Is at all fall
It Is most agreeable to find one's chali
well placed and tho rugs dry ever
morning, especially If ono is Inclined
to seasickness. Moreover, this Btewan'
Is tho one who continuously brlngi
sandwiches nnd broth on deck, and, ns
ho is obliged himself to fco the cook's
assistant to get these articles pre
pared, It is clear that he should bo well
remembered at parting, If anyone Is.
On many lines his pay, like that of
most of tho stewards, is not higher
than $12 a month, and tho company,
on general principles, keeps back one
third to pay for breakage. Another
third goes to tho cooks in fees. Where,
thereforo, would ho bo without his
tips?
Hazlltt an a "Log Ilollort"
A letter written by Hazlltt, tho fam
ous English esnyist, to Leigh Hunt, Is
curious as perhaps tho roost frank
adoption of tho principle of whnt is
now called "log-rolling" over.penncd by
a distinguished man of letters. After
somo preliminary remarks, Hazlltt
says: I praised you in "Tho Edinburgh
'Review," and when In a caso of llfo
and death I tried to lecture, you re
fused to go near 'tho placo, and gave
this ob a reason, saying it would seem
a collusion,-If you said anything-In ny
favor after what had said of you. X
I got Reynolds to wrlto In "Tho Edin
burgh Review," at a time when I had
a great reluctance to nsk any favor ot
Jeffrey, and from that time I never sot
eyes on him for a" year and a half after.
3. I wrote a book In defence of God
win some years ago, one-halt of which
ho hnB slnco stolen without acknowl
edgment, without even mentioning my
name, and yet he comes to mo to re
view tho very work nnd I write to Jeff
rey to nsk his consent, thinking my
self,1 which you do not, tho most mag
nanimous person 'In' the world' In tho
defense of a cause. A. I have taken
nil opportunities ot prnslng Lamh, and
I never got a good word from him In
return, big or llttlo, till the other day.
Ho 'seemed struck all of a heap, It I
ever' hinted nt tho possibility of his
giving mo a lift at any time. 5. It was
but tho other day that two friends did
all 'they could to Intercept an article
about mo from appearing "In 'tho said
"E. R.," saying "it would be too late,"
"that tho editor had been sounded nt

twenty other excuses, and at last I wa3
obliged to send It myself, graciously
and toy millri force, as It wore; when It

AN ACT OE HEROISM.
MINER CRUSHED SAVINQ THE
LIVES OF COMRADES.
Phyilclnni Hope Ho Will Sur.lvn A
HrltUti Columbia Workman Who
Should Itecrlve tho Victoria Co for
lili Courage. '
RARE act of hero
ism, such as de
serves to be record
ed In history and
song, was perform
ed at Rossland, B.
C, tho other day,
which saved tho
lives of two miners
and proved plain
Jim Hemsworth to
bo ono of nature's
noblemen, says a Spokane correspond
ent of tho San Francisco Examiner.
The Victoria cross had been bestowed
on many less entitled to It than Hems
worth nnd thero Is no doubt that this
brave deed will be recognized by the
bestowal of a similar honor should tho
bravo hero survive the Injuries that
ho received In saving tho lives of his
comrades, it was the shaft of tho
Young America mine nt Rossland camp
that Jom Smith nnd Frank Conson
camo so near meeting with a frightful
death, which must havo been certain
and swift but for tho prompt and
heroic net of their comrade above, who
In saving their lives did so nt the risk
of his own. Smith nnd Conson were
working at the bottom of a narrow
shaft, at a depth of nearly 150 feet,
engaged In loading ore Into an Iron
bound bucket, while Jim Hemsworth's
duty consisted In hauling the bucket to
tho stirfnee by mean3 of a windlass.
Tho heavy bucket, filled with ore, had
almost reached tho top of tho shaft
when tho Iron crank of tho windlass
suddenly snapped In two like a bit of
pine, hurling Hemsworth to tho
ground. Springing to his feet, half
dazed by the blow, Hemsworth saw
tho wlndlnsB whirling around at a
frightful rate of speed as tho loaded
bucket shot down the shaft upon tho
men below. Ho had not a second to
lose. Thero wns lust one rhnnrn tn
save them and ho took that chance.
Jumping forward, he throw "his body
upon tho cogs df tho whirling wind
lass, thrusting his arms and shoulders
'between tho Bwlftly-revolvlng wheels.
With an awful Jerk tho loaded bucket
stopped just above tho 'heads of tho
two terrified miners far down in the
shaft. Pale as death and with the
blood flowing from him In streams and
suffering lntenso agony he never ut
tered a cry or even a sound as the
Jaws of tho wheels pinioned him fast,
as ,ln a vise. Superintendent Shields
witnessed the accident from a short
distance away, but so horrified was
'ho 'at the sight that for a moment he
stood ns If paralyzed. Quickly recov
ering his faculties he rushed to Hems-
worth's aid and In a twinkling had.
blocked tho machinery and caused
Hemsworth to bo released from his
perilous position. As Hemsworth stag
gered back and was about to fall
Shields caught him In his arms, at the
samo tlmo exclaiming: "My God, Jim,
this Is awful!" "Oh, what's tho dif
ference," answered tho plucky fellow,
"so long as I saved tho boys?" It was
'not long, however, beforo tho Intense
pain ho suffered, together with tho loss
of blood, began to havo Its effect on
Hemsworth's powerful constitution nnd
'he became too weak to stand. A Ht
'ter wns hastily formed by men who
nnd by this tlmo arrived. Tenderly the
wounded man was placed upon It and
' with tho utmost caro Hemsworth was
carried to Rossland, a mllo away, and
placed on a cot In tho hospital. His
wounds wero dressed and tho Injured
man mndo as comfortable as could be
under the circumstances, 'the attend
ing physicians are at this tlmo unablo
to stato how seriously Hemsworth's In
juries are likely to result, but unless
ho 1b hurt Internally they hope to savo
his life. 'His arms, however, in all
likelihood, will have to bo amputated
at tho shoulder.
'Ammlng Accidents.
Awkward contretemps on tho stage
aro more amusing to tho audlenco than
to tho actors. Somo time slnco, when
"As You Like It" was being performod,
RoBallnd had Just exclaimed: "Look,
hero comes a lover of mine," when In
waltzed a tomcat attached to tho es
tablishment. Thomas had to bo bun
dled out by Orlando.
In an English thenter not long ago a
' fine dramatic effect was ruined by tho
lnopportuno appearance on tho stngo
far a hard-looking Irish woman, who
calmly walked In from tbo wings and
presented a bill for washing to tho
leading lady.
Joseph Jefferson tolls how, on ono
occasion during tho last act of "Mota
morn," two "Indians" who wero pre
paring a Bacrlflclal pile accidentally set
(Ire to a spongo saturated with spirits.
"Put It out," bawled Forrest. The two
Indians went down on their knees and
blew tho Are, with the result that they
singed each other's hair and eyebrows
at every puff. One Indian with great
dignity bndo them desist, and Jumped

'that a fountain of burning alcohol

YANKEE OIRLS IN PARIS.
What Mr. raxtnn and Wife Aro Doing
In the Latin Quarter.
Tho Rev. and Mrs. J. D. Paxton of
Philadelphia havo lately moved Into
the Latin quarter of Paris with tho
hopo of working reformation, promot
ing religion nnd advancing social Ufa
among tho American students, says a
Paris correspondent of tho Pittsburg
Commercial Gazette. Dr. and Mrs.
Paxton have rented a studio and apart
ment in the heart of this quarter. Hero
they entertain tho students. Every
Thursday Mrs. Paxton has her at
homes. Sho and her husband receive
from 4 until 6 and from 8 until 11 p. m.
The most charming girls In tho quarter
havo become Mrs. Paxton's friends and
a bevy of them aro always U ba found
gnthered around tho hostess vhen aho
entertains. Each week tho gatherings
bcromo larger and larger; fow of tho
receptions aro attended by less than
200 AmerlcnnH. nr Pnvtnn crnannil
this fact, thnt n church was not the
Place to attract students. Ho rented a
studio ono In which tho students work
all week and which they aro as familiar
with as they aro with their own rooms.
Thero is no formality connected with
these meetings. Tho students drift In,
In their everyday clothes, and feel as
free ns If they had come to draw or
paint, ns they do on week days. Dr.
Paxton's addroEses can hardly bo called
sermons. They aro more In order of
sociable talks, started with a text. Ho
always takes caro to havo Instrumental
music and singing at these meetings.
Somo of tho nblcst talent in Paris is
often to be found there. After tho talk
Mrs. Paxton, nsslsted by somo of tho
girls, serves cako and lemonade to all
present. Here tho students revel lu
renl American chocolate cake, dough
nuts and ginger snaps such ns they
havo not tasted since thoy left home.
The services bring the American girls,
most of whom have no homes In which
to receive, In social contact with the
American men. Mrs. Paxton Is ono of
tho most popular women In tho quar
ter. Another club for American glrU
Is soon to bo started here. A wealthy
woman who for tho present wishes to
withhold her nnmo (rom tho publlo
has given much study to the needs ot
young women who como hero to Btudy
singing nnd painting. Sho realizes that
they aro not strong enough to Btand
tho haedshlps ono encounters in a
French pension nnd Is about to estab
lish a club where American girls can
live for 5 francs a day. This sum
Is to Include everything. The girls
havo to bo equipped with references
from some well-known Institute in
America stating that they aro talented
and really students of some promise.
Tho club building has not yet been
chosen, but the patronesses beltovo
that everything will bo ready for th
reception of guesta by May.
A Doy'a Diary.
A mother describes in tho Interior
how she camo to look upon tho rubbish
In her boy's drawer bb his unwritten
diary and tho basis of his autobiog
raphy. Sho said to him ono day:
"My son, your bureau drawer is full
of rubbish. You had better clear It
out."
Yes, that would bo his great delight;
bo wo began.
"This horseshoo Is of no use "
"Oh, yes, It Is. I found It under
grandpa's corn crib, and he let mo have
It."
"Theso clamshells you'd better break
up for tho hens "
"Why, momma, I got them on the
beach, you know, last summer!"
"And this faded ribbon burn it up."
"Oh, no! Thnt was our class badge
for the last day of school, and I want to
keep It."
"Hero is that old tin flute yet! Why
do you henp up such traBh?"
"That Is a nlco flute that Willie gave
mo two Chrlstmases ago. Didn't we
havo a splendid tlmo that day?"
"Well, this bottle Is good for noth
ing "
"Oh, yes, It Is. That Is tho bottle 3
used for a bobber when wo went fish
ing at Green's Lake. A black bass
pulled that bottlo way under water."
Then tho mother thought that to'de
stroy these historical relics would b
to obliterate pleasant memories.
To Check Expectoration.
Tho following interesting but ropul
slvo story is taken from tho Indlanapo
lis Journal, where It appears as the talk
of a lady typewriter. It must bo that
it Is much exaggerated, but even bo it
may do good: If testimony concern
ing tho provalonco of mascullno expec
toration could be taken from typewrit
era, Bomo startling revelations might
bo made. I am In an office with seven
or eight alleged gcntlomon, who all die
tato letters to mo, and who all expectorate-
freely around mo as I sit at my
machine. After they havo departed I
throw blotters on tho floor all about
to make my surroundings endurable'
Strange to say, not one of them has
"cod how my Sow i strewn
with blotters, except in one Instance
when our president remarked, "MIsb
Mary, you uso a great many blotters "
My response was, "Yea, slr I tmve to!"
ThoN:olored porter Anally mado out the
reason of my conduct He probably
apprised some of the men In tho office
for matters have been pleaBanter fo
mo since. To all girls who have ibeeri
annoyed In this way, I earnestly rec
ommend tho blotter system. To attract
attention to reform helps It on,
