New Style of Weapon Introduced to the

BOLD BLUFF CARRIED BY A TRAMP
lie Had AMiat I.ooUod I.I lie n Itctolver , bat
ItV Found on linc tlgxtluu to
Kg but a Ilaio Decep
tion In Metal ,
One of the tramps that was arrested a
few dnjs ago had among his effects a rather
unique style of firearm , If such It could
be called. It looked at long range like
an ordinary revolver of the 75-ceit | brand ,
but a closer Inspection showed that In place
of the regular cj Under It had one made
of a solid piece of metal , without even so
much as a crack Into which a cartridge
could be put. It was rendered still more
harmless by the fact that there was no
spring , and a hard pull on the trigger only
served to bring the hammer a little farther
away from the cylinder. The weapon was
confiscated by the police department. The
theory of the officers Is that It had been
used by the tramp as a means of frighten
ing people Into shelling out their wealth
Its construction put It out of the ranks of
deadly weapons , so that there could really
be no charge of carrying concealed weapons
preferred against a man , even If he did
happen to keep It out of sight.

The enrollment at the teachers' Institute
Is now 370 , only lacking fifteen of the largest
attendance at any Institute ever held In the
country. The work is being pushed by Su
perintendent Burton and his corps of teach
ers , and the only complaint heard from those
In attendance Is that they have to work
too hard. The superintendent seems to have
gotten Into his head the mistaken notion
thati the school ma'ams came to work rather
than for a good time , and he will give them
a little extra work by having Saturday ses
sions the same as on other week-days.

discovered In London.
Some years ago a simitar report was sent
out from New York , Baying ; Fred Gower
had been found In Bombay. ThU was found
to have started In tb * Imagination of an
impecunious newspaper man who knew the
family Mr Cower u > < that Fred was
alnays an eccentric man and likely to do
any queer thing , such as dropping out of
sight for term of yeara He thinks his
brother Is still alive somewhere , but not In
London , though he has never heard from
him. Ho lias never fully credited the story
of his brother's death. Prcd Gower's life
with Mmc. Nordlcn was not a happy one.

j't.vKtr.iai'A LAST .ir ,
Governor AltjHI ( mid United States Court *
llufiiic to Interfere.
SPRINGFIELD , III. , July 12. Governor
Altgeld today refused to Interfere In the
case of Assassin Prendergast. The gover
nor said the law muit take Its course.
Tim application of the assassin's attorneys
for a writ of habeas corpus In the United
States circuit court was argued today before
Judge Grosscup. After hearing the grounds
upon which the application was made and
the demand of the attorneys of the con
demned man for a stay of execution until
an appeal could be taken to the United
States supreme court , Judge Grosscup sent
the following telegram to Judge Woods of
the United States circuit court of appeals.
Hun. W. A. Woudt , Imllnnnpotla : I'ren-
dergast sentenced to bo hnnged tomorrow.
His counsel flic application for hnli-MS
corpus nnd nsk for stay. Exceedingly Im-
jxmnnt that stay be refused unless he Is
entitled to It Cannot > ou come hen * to
confer with me tonight or tomorrow morn
ing ? P. S. UHOSSCUP.
This telegram was sent while Attorney S.
S. Gregory was arguing that under the federal -
eral statutes he Is entitled to a stay to give
time for an appeal If the application for a
writ of habeas corpus Is denied. Judge
Grosscup said nothing to Indicate Whether
the writ would be refused or granted and It
was the general Impression In the court room
that the writ would be denied. His ob
ject In sending for Judge Woods was to se
cure his advice on the question of an appeal
to the federal supreme court and an order
staying the execution until the highest
court in the land could be heard from.
The court entered an order refusing the
writ , but the question of an appeal was left
undecided until Judge Woods should arrive.
Judge Grosscup directed the clerk of the
court to write a letter to Sheriff Gilbert ask
ing him to delay the execution tomorrow ts
long as possible , or until the expiration of
i'mo In which the sentance must he carried
tut.
tut.The as assln spent the day very qu ctly In
the little room Just cast of Jailer Morris'
office. His brother called and remained
with ths condemned man for an hour. Rev.
Father Barry of the Holy Name cathedral
came later Prenderga-t. when told the
priest was In the Jail , said "Well , let him
como in If he wants to. But I want It
understood that I did not send for him. If
he wants to see me I will receive h.m. "
The priest entered the little room and
talked with Prendergast for an hour. The
assassin seemed In good spirits and fre
quently nnlled.
This afternoon Mrs. Prendergast , mother
of the assassin , came. There were tears In
the eyes of the sorrowing woman as she
appeared at the Jail door. She brought her
son a new suit of underwear and a clean
white shirt. "I will se him after awhile
for the last time , " tald Mrs. Prendergast
with a xhudder , as she sank into a chair.
Later she entered the chamber of death to
take final leave of her son. The scaffold
was carried Into the Jail and put In
place this evening.
Late this afternoon Judge Gros-cup de
cided not to interfere in the matter. When
Prendergast was told at 5 o'clock this after
noon that there was no hope for a further
stay of execution of the sentence of death he
would not belie\e it.
"I still have hope that some sort of stay
will be granted tomorrow , " remarked the
assassin. "If I am hung It would be an
official murder I am not guilty of the crime
of murder. No malice was shown in the
trial , and the law sa > s that murder is the
malicious taking of a human life "
Attorney Darrow , Prendergast's counsel ,
seems to have abandoned hope tonight at C
o'clock. "I have not heard from the gov
ernor , and don't expect to , " he said.

LONDON , July 12 A dispatch to the
Times today from Seoul , the capital of
Corea , says : A conference of foreign repre
sentatives today proposed the neutralization
of Corcan treaty ports. The Japanese min
ister accepted the principle of the proposi
tion so far as Chemulpo was concerned , but
reserved his answer of this question In re
gard to the other ports pending Instructions
from his government. Later , the king
jleldlng , the Japanese government appointed
three commissioners to discuss the internal
administration of the country. The condi
tions imposed by the Japanese government
In regard to the neutralization of the post
of Chemulpo virtually nullify the concession ,
as Japan still Insists upon retaining troops
within the settlement The foreign repre
sentatives have reminded the Japanese gov
ernment that their Joint note , recently sent
to Japan questioning the wlthd. .wal of
troops , still remains unanswered.
The earl of Klmbcrlcy , secretary of state
for foreign affairs , hits proffered Great
Britain's good offices with a view of bringing
about a settlement of the Corean dispute
Japan has acceptedj .tha offer , and there Is
every reason to bejleve that China will do
likewise. _

The latter contingency is probable , as the

of a certain portion of' it which It will be

Cholera Sprrudlni ; In Mennii.
VIENNA , July 12. Cholera Is still sprnd
Ing In Auftrla Gallcla nnd In Bukovvlna.
A high novelty of the season Is the red
Russian kid tic , with Jet embroidery on the
toe. This Mephistophelean foot covering li
very popular at fashionable summer resorts.
It Is worn with silk nose of the tame vivid
color. A spray of black embroidery on the
red has the effect of somewhat toning down
the a > E9rtlve color.
Many of the seml-dlaphanou1 ? toll'ts worn
at the summer resorts are made up unllned
and worn over petticoats and low cut under
waists of dainty colored taffeta or , prettier
still , of shct silk of Eomc sort. This Im
parts nn exceedingly charming two-toned
or ihadow effect , nnd greatly improves the
appearance of the toilet.
Large Galnesborough hats , trimmed with
feathers , are worn at the races and for
country parties , but for full day dress bon
nets are still the proper headgear , the
fancy of the moment being a Marie Stuart
shape , made of Jet or gold , verj pointed
over the face and trimmed with aigrettes
and large Jet bows or flowers at the back ,
arranged very broad.
Cream white cloth Jackets In the medium
length , duchess of York style , are In high
fashion , and the var ous ways of adorning
them render them very appropriate for
nearly every occasion They are made In
both single and double-breasted styles , and
many of the former have a deep cnpe collar
and slashed revers faced with > cry heavy
guipure lace.
Black and wMte cheeked silks are con
spicuously favored , and In the selection of
a dress of tins sort discretion Is quite nec
essary. Checks that look as If the black
is very black and the white very white are ,
as a rule , to be avoided. They are dl tress-
ingly trying to the c > cs of the needle
woman , and are apt to prove too assertive
when made up.
Plain skirts prevail universally. Even
those for ceremonious wear are but little
decorated. This stjle prevails for silks ,
sheer wools , 8,1k and wool mixtures and , of
course , tailor made costumes. Fashionable
models of covert cloth , lightweight ladles'
cloth and similar fabrics for utility wear
show skirts about four yards wide ot the
hem , with but little stiff interlining.
It seems hardly poss ble for those who
delight In gay gowns and brilliant effects In
color to go very far astray in their dress
ing this year. Everything worn at the
fashionable watering places is bright and
brilliant , II not sometimes startl ng The
very quietest combinations of color for walkIng -
Ing and afternoon dresses are what but a
few seasons ago would have been deemed
suitable only for. a lawn party.
One of the Parisian novelties Is a cream
gauze ribbon , with white satin stripes and
tiny bouquets of flowers in green , blue and
> ellow. Ribbons have become such a uni
versal trimming that summer gowns are
hardly complete without bows or rosettes ,
which are at present taking the lead. Braces
of ribbon , going over the shoulders ,
fastened at the belt with rosettes , and con
tinuing down to the hem of the skirt ,
where they end In bows , both back and
front , are one of the novelties In dresi dec
oration , ard wide ribbon bows , with ends
reaching to the bottom of the dress , are
worn at the neck and on one shoulder.
French millinery at the moment Is most
eccentric in character , and people whoso
taste li quiet find much to repel them In a
great deal of the fashionable but extraor
dinary head coverings offered them Most
noticeable are the colors and combination :
One must see them to realize the extent
of their audacity. One shape of coarse
open work straw , deeper in color than the
ripest corn , is trimmed with a large
Alsatian bow of wide ribbon shot yellow
and violet , and a bunch of blue corn flow
ers set Into a rosette of magenta velvet.
A more quarrelsome as emblage of colors
could hardly be , yet even this pales before
a jellow tinted hat 1 terally covered with
rosettes of virulent magenta , sea green , and
heliotrope severally Interspersed with up
standing bunches of berries of every known
color.
A ruble.
Indianapolis Journal : A certain Monarch ,
of Violent and Hasty Tempr , became of
fended at an Injudicious Remark of his
Court Fool , and , drawing his Sword , cut off
the Unhappy Fellow's Right Ear.
The next Day , having given the matter
Thought , the Monarch approached the Couch
where lay the Fool In Much Pain , and apolo
gized Sincerely for his Conduct , expressing
Great Sorrow.
"Your sorrow Is Beautiful to See , " com
plained the Fool , "but It does not restore
my Lost Ear. "
"The loss of your Ear cuts no Ice , " re
plied the Monarch. "It Is enough that 1
have Expressed my Sorrow and put mjself
at Peace with my own Conscience In So
Doing. "
Moral : And that Is what apologies amount
to , as a general thing.
