date. The postal card was turned over to
the federal authorities nnd Postofilco Inspector

Hlda for a whole lot of vitrified brick pav
ing will be opened at the meeting of the
city council tomorrow evening. The plans
and specifications on file at the city engi
neer's office hnvc been studied by a large
number of contractors , nnd It Is estimated
that n greater number of contractors will
submit plans for the work than have ever
competed for any similar work In the his
tory of the city. None of the bids have been
filed yet. The contractors appear to feel
that there might be n leak somewhere or
some of the envelopes might not prove
opaque enough to protect their contents from
prying eyes , and they arc holding them back
until the lost moment. One prominent con
tractor In the city engineer's office yester
day made the prediction that the city would
get some of the cheapest paving In Its his
tory when It lets these contracts. He said
ho knew a number of bidders who had fig
ured the work down pretty close to the ac
tual cost mark , and were determined to get
It even If they did not make wages. There
will be three or four bids from out of town
contractors who are also brick makers , nnd
they will make low offers for the work.
It Is the Intention of the city engineer to
provide n heavy steam roller for the use
of the contractor who gets the Job of paving
Pearl street , and require him to use It and
give a foundation that will bo firm and solid ,
something that has never been done yet.

AURELIA , In. , , 'auue 27. ( Special Tele
gram. ) One of the meJst shocking tragedies
that ever took place. In Cherokee county oc
curred at the farm house of Mrs. Elizabeth
Mahoncy , seven miles south of this place ,
about C o'clock this morning. Miss Mary
Kane has been residing with Iho Mahoneys
for about n year and James Mahoney , n son
of the old lady , has for some time been
desperately In love with the girl , but she re
fused to accept his attentions. This morning
ho became enraged nnd fired three shots nt
the girl from n 3S-cnllber revolver , each of
which took effect , the first In the forehead ,
knocking her to the floor , and the next two
were fired as she lay prostrate , ono taking
effect in the back of the neck , nnd the third
nnd last In the right forearm. The young
woman Is conscious nt the present time , but
It Is thought that she cannot recover.
Sheriff Wheeler of Cherokee arrested Mahoney -
honey and lodged him In the county Jull nt
that place. Mahoney hail beiMi nway from
home nil night nnd had been drinking.
On his arrival at home he haw the girl go
Into thu milk house and followed her Inside ,
telling her at the same time that If she nt-
lemplcd to raise an alarm or stir he would
blow her brains oul. She screamed and nt-
tempted to escnpo from the place , whereupon
Mahoney carried out his threat.
Mnhoney Is about 40 years of age and Is
divorced from his wife. Ho has a family of
two children. Ho has for some time past led
a reckless life. Miss Kane Is an orphan 1C
years of ago. She bears the respect of the
entire community and Is an exceptionally
bright girl. The affair has created a fever
of excitement throughout the comity , and
should the girl's Injuries prove falal It might
bo necessary to place a guard nt the Jail.

DES MOINES , In , , Juno 27. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The primaries In Polk county were
held today and Captain J. A. T. Hull car-
Icd everything In sight , practically , against
James G. Bcrryhlll for the republican nom
ination for congress. In-thc preliminary cal-
'Ulntlotis the county had been divided Into
three parts : East DCS Molncs , West DCS
Molnes and the country. The enst sldo of
DCS Molncs was conceded to Hull with the
possible exception of n few precincts. Ho
carried all but ono precinct. The west
side of the city was BerryhlH's best fight
ing ground , but he has not carried more
than five or six precincts. In the country ,
where Hull wns supposed to have some ml-
vantn.ge , but by no raca.ns a sure victory ,
he has carried everything. The net result
Is that of twenty-seven precincts In the clly
Hull has carried probably Iwenly , and he
will have about 127 Vote's In the county con
vention , against twenty-one for Berryhlll.
The election was ; one : of the hottest evar
known in the clty.iNp state election has
been known in many' ( years that approached
It In Interest , The campaign has been one
In which an Immense amount of money has
beer spent. Berryhill leading In this method
and Hull being coillpelled to follow. Berry-
hill was backed by/the'clty ' administration ,
of which he secured'control In Ihe spring
campaign. The results In other counties
that have held primaries thus far are such
as to practically asepre that Hull will be rc-
nomlnatcd. '

FORT DODGE , In. , June 27. ( Special. )
WInnebago county Is to have a new $20,000
court house as the result of a county seat
fight , and It won't cost the county a cent.
Lake Mills has been trying to get nn elec
tion called to see If It couldn't win the
county seat away from Forest City. It
cot a petition signed by what It believed
was the necessary one-half of the voters of
the counly , asking that an election bo called
10 move Ihe county seat from Forest City to
Lake Mills. It had 1,154 names on the
petition , and both sides had counted Ihe
names on the census books and conceded
that that made one-half , but when the mat-
ler came up before Ihe board of supervis
ors a humorous mistake was discovered.
Two of the farmer census-takers , in making
up the llsls of their townships , had skipped
a number of blank pages at the end and
Ihen added about eighty more names , bring

IN MAXIMILIAN'S TIMI3.
A Nnlnhte Military nxeelillon llc-
calIcil l y a. Mnrrlanc.
The marriage nt the Church of St. Francis
Xavlcr , New York , of Senorltn Pudenda VI-
dnurrl Mllmo , n Mexican heiress , to Prince
Albert Rfldzlwlll of Russia recalls < i stirring
incident connected with the feverish times
following the brief and mournful empire of
the unfortunate. Maximilian. The story Is
told In the New Orleans Times by nn Ameri
can genllcmnn distinguished nllke In mili
tary nnd diplomatic circles , who had resided
In Mexico for some time prior to the abdica
tion of Maximilian , nnd It Is In effect ns
follows :
The father of the now Prlneess Rmlzlwlll
wns Patrick Mllmo. nn Irish gcnlleman , who
first went to Mexico In the ' 50s as the Mala-
moras representative of the New Orleans
house of Pcler and Thomas Hale. After hav.
Ing been some time in Mexico , Milmo mar
ried the daughter of Don Santiago Vldnurrl.
an Influential citizen of northern Mexico and
governor of the states of Ncuvo Leon and
Coahullla. Mllmo cslabllshed n house of his
own In Monterey , and , being n man of In
domitable pertinacity of purpose , coupled
with sound Judgment and excellent business
capacity , ho accumulated In the course of a
short time n fortune amounting to nearly
$20.000,000.
In the meantime Maximilian , leaving the
quiet life of Ihe beautiful chateau near
Trieste for the royal vicissitudes which
ended In his execution , had landed nt Vcra
Cruz nnd undertaken the dulles of empire
against the opposition of Juarez and his
followers.
Slg. Vldaurrl , aligning himself with the
conservative party , was driven from Nuevo
Leon by Juarez and his parly , and went to
Mexico , where ho became one of the Imperial
council.
When Maximilian left the City of Mexico
and went to Orizaba to avoid meeting Gen
eral Castolnnu , whom Napoleon had dis
patched on the mission of reconciling the
emperor to the necessity of abdication , Vl
daurrl accompanied him. Maximilian and
his followers were walled on In Orizaba by n
large deputation of represcntallvo Mexicans
who begged them to return to Mexico , assur
Ing the emperor thai n majority of the Mexi
can people were In sympathy with his cause
The American gentleman who recalls the
present reminiscence begged Vldnurrl tc
leave Ihe country and go to Havana , bul the
Mexican replied thai It was only a few min
utes before ho had heard the emperor say II
was not like onu of tbe house of Hnpsburg to
qunll when danger threatened , nnd Vldaurr !
would stand by him to Ihe last , though he
had lltlle faith In his success.
About a year after the events above re
lated the American was In Mexico City
shortly after Its capture by General Diaz ,
who had Issued an order that all enemies
of the republic should present themselves
within a given time , and thai failure lo obey
Hits mandate should be punishable with
death. Early one morning , as the
American was slrolllng lo Ihe rcs-
tnurant for his morning cup of
coffee , he learned of the capture of
General Vldaurrl , who had been hiding In
the city. The American was well acquainted
with General Diaz and repaired at once to
th" College of Mines , where the general had
his headquarters , with the Idea of Inler-
cedmg In behalf of his friend. General Din/
was sllll In bed , bul Ihe American's Intimacy
enabled him to reach the general's bed
chamber , where he pleaded for VidaunTs
life He found Diaz , as always , tbe sympa
thetic , big-hearted man , but tbe stern , reso
lute soldier.
"I have no authority In the matter , " said
the general ; "Ihe orders have gone forlh ;
they must be obeyed. I am honest in assur
ing you of my regret and my sympathy , but
at 4 o'clock this afternoon your friend must
be shot. "
There seemed no method of avoiding the
fate which Impended , but Ihe American's
mettle had been touched , and he swore to
do everything In his power. The president
wns at the moment somewhere between
north Mexico and the capital. Telegraphs
were few and far between , and there was no
way of reaching Ihe only human authority
on enrth that could save Vidaurrl.
In this extremity the American repaired
to the prison and found his old friend In the
chapel , already preparing for death.
"Let us put aside all considerations for
myself , " said Vldaurrl , when the American
had , with a candor befitting Ihe occasion ,
laid all Iho facls before him. "I have a son
hiding somewhere In Ihe country. Is there
any way of finding his hiding place ? "
"I can go lo him at once , " replied the
American.
"Then go at once , " said the Mexican , "dc
liver him up at once to the guard In ordct
that he may be a prisoner before he knowf-
the fate of his father. "
The American then returned to General
Diaz , taking with him General Pedro Hlno *
Jose , who was a friend of General Diaz am'
both again Irled lo find some means of sav
ing Vldaurrl. General Diaz Issued an ordei
giving twenty-four hours more for all Im
perialists who had not already been capturcC
to present themselves to the authorities
Upon this authorization the American pro
cceded to the hiding place of Vldaurri's sou
and placing him In a carriage drove him tr
the prison. Even then , when the son was under
dor the same roof as his father , the Amerlcai
could not summon up the courage to tcl'
him of the bereavement that was In ston
for him.
Returning to the chapel , Ihe America ]
spent a long time with the condemned gen
tleman. The only will General VUaurrl cvci
made was scribbled on a card held on flu
American's knee , and that afternoon , in
o'clock , a regiment of soldiers appeared li
the hallway outside of the chapel , and thi
death march began.
The place of execution was a llttlo gratir
plot In front of the old church of Santc
Domingo , Vidaurrl appeared on Ihe scene
accompanied by two priests , and found the
American awaiting him. Permission WOE
granted Ihe American to hold jonvers.irlo1) )
with the condemned , and he stepped forward
nnd spoke to him. General Vldaur.-I war
over six feet In height , and though nearly
CO years of age , ho stood there waiting to be
shot , with an eye as keen and a frame UP
erect as n young buck of 25. Ills strong
manly face showed no trace of emotion , and
his last words were spoken without a tremor.
He begged the American to assure Slgnor
.Milmo and his son of his love , bade his
friend goodby , turned to the priest and re
ceived his last benediction , and then , In c
firm voice , said , "I am ready , ' '
The corporal of the guard turned General
Vldaurri's face to the wall , as Is the custom
wllh all prisoners executed for tivason , nnd
then stepped back prepared to give the
word. Just before the order was g\ven Gen
eral Vldaurrl looked over his shoulder nn.l
snld to Hie American : "Unlll we mcel ! "
The next moent the order "Fire ! " was given ,
nnd Vldaurrl fell to the ground , his body
riddled wllh bullels.
The American burled Iho body nf his friend
with all proper ceremonies , aid : shortly
afler left for the slates. Of the figures in
this tragedy of life , General Diaz Is now Iho
president of Mexico , General Pedro Hlnojoso
his secretary of war , the American on hon
ored member of semi-diplomatic circles , the
son a well known rcsldenl of tie ! country
environing Monterey , and the granddaughter
Princess Hadzlwlll of Russia.
The Wily Summer filrl.
But when It comes to wiles and the fol
lowing of devious ways , the blond young
man , or any young man , for thai mailer ,
Is simply nol to bo compared to the summer
girl , says Iho Washington Post. Ono of
them was In the president's back yard Sat
urday afternoon In a dream of a frock and
a marvel of a bonnet. She met two young
men. Ono of them appeared to bo slightly
acquainted with her and Introduced Ihe
friend. I heard her say softly lo the friend ,
after a minute or two , while the other
young man was speaking to another girl ;
"I'm so glad to meet somebody hero I
know. I haven't seen Mr. Mr. "
"Smith , " supplied the friend.
" 0 , " went on the girl artfully , "I hadn't
forgotten his name ; I was only trying to re
member where I saw him last. "
And then later , when eho called Mr. Smllh
glibly by name , I heard him tell her how
surprised and delighted he was to find she
had remembered not only his face but hlu
name for a year. He said she had a mar
velous memory for names. She said she
hadn't at all , but that there was always
some people one never forgets. So he strolled
off with her to buy Ice cream soda , and guile
had scored another victory over Innocence.

The first In this country to Introduce the
school savings bank system Is John H.
Thlry of Long Island City , where the chil
dren attending the public schools an- given
an opportunity to save their pennies.
Scratch the school enthusiast and you will
find a lover of children. Mr. Thlry Is no
exception. It was this trait , relates Iho
Washington Stnr , which Induced him In
March of 1SS5 to establish In the Third
ward school ot Long Island City , near bis
home , nnd presided over by Mrs. Mary 13.
McGco ns principal , the first school savings
bank In the United Stales.
"You see , " said Mr. Thlry , as his vlsllor
sat In his cool library In Ills residence In
Long Island City , adjoining the green house
nnd looking out through a renr window
upon the trimly kept garden walks , "hero I
have about mo all the clippings from news
papers which have been written about the
school savings bank , and all the books and
reports nnd other sources of Information ,
no that I can put my finger upon precisely
what has ' > ccn done , and I will tell you any
thing you wish. The school banks of Long
Island Clly are 115 In number. Every
school room whore a teacher takes charge
of the savings of her pupils constitutes a
bank. These 115 banks have , since Iholr
Introduction , rcglslcred 2,018 depositors ,
nearly one-third of Ihe total number of
scholars for the same time , and In recent
years , as the experiment has been extended
from the Third ward school to others In the
clly , Ihe proportion Is very mueJi larger.
The banks have collecled over $30,000 In
small sums , and Iho pupils have withdrawn
money from time to lime as they needed 11 ,
but there still remains to their credit
$19,543.04 , a very considerable sum for the
lltlle children. "
This Is an average much higher than
would appear , as many of the 2.018 ac
counts have been closed , the depositors hav
ing graduated.
There nre eighty-three cities and towns In
this country where the experiment has been
Introduced In 323 schools by 1,579 teachers.
One school In Brooklyn , that of Principal
Marc F. Vallette ; one In Philadelphia , the
Pcnn Sewing school ; five In Ithaca , N. Y. ;
one In Portland , N. D. , seven In Norrls-
lown , Pa. , and others In every part of the-
country have adoplcd il. The largest
school department to adopt It Is that of
Grand Rapids , Mich. , where the cxpcrlmenl
Is In full force In thirty-two schools , anil
where over $10,000 have been deposited.
Taking all the 323 schools together , the
eleposlls have amounted to about $500,000.
although most of these deposits nro but
Just begun and nro small. For Instance ,
the depositors in Grand Rapids have been
more than twice as numerous as those in
Long Island City , but the lotal deposits
have been only one-third as large. That Is
not because the experiment works any less
well In Grand Rapids , but simply because It
Is newer there , and the children have not
had time to make such large deposits as
here. "
"Isn't It a great deal of trouble , " I
asked , "for the leachers , principals and
savings bank people lo lake care of the
money ? "
"Not at all , " said Mr. Thrlry , "after they
get used to it. The collections nre made
once a week , on Monday morning , nnd Ihe
process tnkes only a few minutes. The
teacher credits each pupil with the amount
deposited and hands over the sum thai she
receives from Ihcm all lo the principal. He ,
in turn , credits each teacher with the sum
received and deposits all he gets from
the school in the savings bank , where It I.
placed to his credit as principal ; but , of
course , he cannot himself withdraw any of
the money. As soon as n pupil gets $1
on his individual account the savings bank
people wllh whom Ihe money ds deposited
issue him a bank book , as they would to
any other depositor. Of course , It Is more
trouble for them to handle so many very
small accounts , but it Is a good thing for
the city , and Ihey are willing to do It. "
HOW IT IS DONE.
Of course they are willing to do It ! People
ple always do things .when an enthusiast Is
In the neighborhood , and no one could talk
with Mr. Thlry for five minutes without see
ing that he Is an enthusiast.
Besides , the little depositors grow up to be
big depositors , some of them.
"Here are the blank forms which most of
the school savings banks In the United
Slales use , and which have proved simple
ind convenient In our experience , " and Mr.
Thiry showed the blanks :
Flrsl , the deposit slip , which Is given to
. ach Individual scholar ; a simply folded
paper with ruled columns for figures on the
Inside , with the regulallons plainly printed
oit the back leaf.
The other forms arc the teachers' deposit
jllp , ruled for names and amounts , with
drawal check , which must bo signed by the
owner of the book , his parents or guardians
nnd by the principal before the bank will
honor It. There Is an ordinary narrow cash
envelope in which the money received is
sealed up , nnd , finally , a record for ( ha
Pllnrlpiil's accounts ,
"What do you think of the stamp navlngi
fund Instituted In several cities ? "
" 1 don't think so well ot It , " said Mr.
Thlry , "as of our own system. The chllj
Is father to the man and llkoa to do thing *
In man fashion , with n real hank book nj
deposits ot real money. Collecting the
stamps appeals to him for n little while , but
ho Is apt to get tired of It as n child Is of
a new toy. It Is nol In manner close enough
to the actual realities of life to please his
fancy long. I that
may say the stamp ays-
lem has been tried In Baltimore , where It
was bosun shortly after our own ; two yenra
later the bank provident fund of New York
" " b > < Ulc Cnarlt ' OwulMtlon so *
"in IS90 something like the stamp svstem
wns begun In Detroit , Mich. , West Iov ) rity
Mich. , nnd In Boston. In these cases" , how
ever , the system wns not confined to the
schools , and in mine , , f them have the
amounts eoll-r-ted been so inrgo ns we hnvo
o show , in . Pottsvlllu , Pa. , a system en-
llrcly tlllTm.nl from either wns Introduced
like ' lr ° , f- , ? ' , .A' Th"rl ( > w : It Is really mnro
a building nnd loan association than a
bank. The scholars who deposit money nro
stockholders nnd have to make doposlis with
some regularity. The system ns wo hnvo
worked It out In Long Island Clly Is tiie nia-
cst of all. and I think tbe simplest nnd most
elllelent. Chicago Is about to adopt smno
form of school savings bank , and It v\lll ba
worth watching. Chicago does things on a
pretty big scale. "
SO.MB OP THE 1UTLES.
"What Is the smallest deposit which li rr > .
cclved ? "
"Anything from 1 cenl up , " replied Mr.
Ihlry , as he called attention to the reiniln-
lions which follow :
Order to withdraw money from sums less
than $3 will he received and cashed by the
superintendent or principal on deposit dny
Any depositor who has not deposited
money during the three months following
their last deposit will have to return the
weekly raril to the superintendent or princi
pal , who will refund the money due.
One cent or upwnrd can be received hy the
teacher. When n pupil ban a deposit of $1
nr more a bank book will be given free of
charge , from the bank. Deposits should not
bo withdrawn till amount reaches $3. except
In case of sickness or removal from city ; but
If the deposit should bo withdrawn , nnd the
amount has been less than $3. the bank will
charge 10 cents for the bank bonk.
Deposits of $1 and over will bear interest
quarterly.
During the summer vacation of the school
deposits may he bo made or money with.
drawn from the bank direct , the cashier actIng -
Ing during thai time for the teacher.
