ROSCOE KATE sToDDARD's sCHooLMATE.

ROSCOE KATE STODDARDS SCHOOLMATE.
COMMISSIONER JoURDAN's SIGNIFICANT RETICENCE
TWO THEORIES ENTERTAINED IN POLICE
CIRCLEs-AN IMPORTANT CLUE.
The publication in Saturdays TRIBUNE of
the series of concerning the murder of Charles
Goodrich, embodyng doubts that Kate stoddard had
ever confessed that she herself had committed the
crime gave rise 20 much discussion in police circles in
that city, and has to certain extent revived the inter
est OF the public in the tragedy. reporter OF
TRIBUNE had an interview with Police Commissioner
Jourdan regarding the case on Saturday and was in
formed that the Commissioners knowledge OF Kate
stoddards confession based entirely on ex-Chief
Campbelrs statements. The Chief, after finding the
boardinC-hOuse where she had been hiding
and recovering the jewery and other articles
belonging 10 Charles Goodrich, had questioned
the prisoner very persstenty and succeeded in ectng
from her the admission that she had murdered Good
rich. This story the Chief repeated TO the Commits
sioner and, according TO Mr. Jourdans statement to
reporter the is declared to have said that she
had committed the murder with her own hands. She
denied all knowledge of Roscoe. The w0mans story is
believed by former Chief and most of the members
OF tho police force ali of whom maintain that Roscoe Is
q myth-an invention of the brain OF Lucette Myers.
Commissioner Jourdan. was asked by the reporter
whether he believed 1t possible that Kate
stoddard had herself murdered Goodrich,
and If it was not more likely that she had merely wit
pce but TO these questions the Commissioner declined
10 make a reply Those outside OF the Department who
have opportunities for observing the movements OF
the detectives have given the information that Commits
soner Jourdan believes that Kate stOddard did not her
self murder Goodrich but that she witnessed his assas
sinston by man answering 10 the name of Roscoe.
1t stated moreover that the Commissioner is following
p number OF clues which he believes will lead TO the
capture Of the murderer IL Is partly on this &C
count that the disagreement between Mr. Campbell and
the Commissioner sprang up Mr.. Campbell believes
that the mystery surrounding Goodrchs death was fully
solved with the capture Of Kate Stoddard, while Com
missioner Jourdan held that her confession was merely
made to shield Others and could not have
dered the unaided. at all events in the delber
ate, coldbloodod manner described. The Chief
10 is stated, made further efforts after
the woman confessed, but Commissioner Jourdan
took exception 20 this Of action, and Is still
anxious 10 secure Roscoe. The detectives think that
the only Roscoe that Lucete Myers knew the yam

regarded as Of ftne or no Importance He denied all

a CHEAP DISINFECTANT.-One pound
of green copcros, costing seven cents, dis
solved in one quart of water, and poured
down water-coset, will efectualy con-
centrate and destroy the fouest smells. On
board ships and steamboats,, about hotels
and other public places there is nothing SC
nice to purify the air. Simple green cope
ras, dissolved under the bed in anything
that will hold water, will render hospita,
or other place for the sick, free from uu-
pleasant sinells, For butchers stalls, fish
markets, slaughter-houses, sinks, and
where there are offensive putrid gases, dis
solve copperas and sprinkle it about, and
in a few days the smell will pass away.
If n Cat, or a mouse dies about the house
and sends forth an offensive gas, place
some dissolved copperas ia an offensive
gas, place some dissolved copperas in an
open vessel near the place where the nui-
sancc is, and it will soon purify the atmos-
phere.

it three times day morning noon and

WHY CLOVER IMPROVES SoIL.-Pro-
fessor Eoelcker thus explains the action Of
clover in increasing the fertility of soils
San who are practically acquainted with
the subject must have seen that the best
crops of wheat are produced by betng pre-
ccded by crops of clover grown for seed.
| have Come to the conclusion that the
very best preparation, the best manure,
I is II good crop of clover. A vast amount
of mineral manure is brought within reach
of the corn crop, which otherwise would
remain ia Il lecked-uP condition in the soil.
The clover plants take nitrosea tron Ihs
atmosphere aud manufacture it into theft
own substance, which, on decomposition
Of the clover roots and leaves, produces
abundance Of ammonia. la reality, tho
growing OF clover is equivalent, to great
extent, to manuring with Peruvian guato,
and in this paper of mine show that you
obtain II larger quantity Of manure than in
the largest dose of Peruvian guano which

only by carefully investigating subjects like

NEW ANECDoTE OF LINCOLN.-New
anecdotes of President Lincoln arc sulh-
eiently rare, but here is one which is au-
thentc and characteristic, whether we
consider the Presidents goodness of heart
or the naivette with which it found cx-
preston. When Col. Muligan's Chicago
Regiment lay in camp away down South,
one OF the privates, call him Barney D.,
IN moment of passion and intoXication,
Bar ney was one of the hard ones of the
command and it was a matter of no sur
prise when the cOurt-martial sentenced
him for this last and gravest of his many
Offences, to be shot, and fixed the day OF
his execution. Meanwhile, to the surprise
OF every one, including the surgeons, the
wounded man began to recover, and was
soon pronounced out of danger. Public
opinion took the usual turn. 1t was thought
a pity, after all, to shoot a fine young fel-
low, such as Barney was in his better mo-
meuts besides, he was one Of the boys,
had been born, like them, in Chicago.
grown up with them, and fought with
them. a movement looking to petition
for the culprit's pardon vas set on foot, in
which none Joined more heartily than the
wounded man and the camp. which, but
yesterday, was for lynching Barney, now
yearned to save his life. But the General
| commanding had approved the finding OF
the court martial, and only the President
could interfere, and the regiment was ell
camped away from the telegraph lines. Sc
that, though the necessary documents had
been forwarded, backed by strong recon-
mendations, there were grave doubts i
the mcrciful message which Mr.. Lincoln
was certain to send, would reach the camI
| in time. An express was sent to the near
est telegraph station. thirty miles away, tC
carry the message with all haste, and al
waited impaticntly.
! The night before the fatal day arrived. -
! Barney was to be shot at sunrise next day
! No reprieve had arrived, and reluctantly
| the adjutant prepared the necessary orders
detailed the firing party, arranged for tn
parade. Night wore on. 1t is safe TO sa,
that not an eye was closed in the camp
and every ear was strained for hOof-beat
from the east. Past midnight, one, two
three O'Clock. There were movements in
the gray eastern sky: the brilliant south
ern stars paled it was almost dawn.
Suddenly, faint sound was heard as of,
shout away to the east. The eXcitemen
became electric. Men rushed from thei
tents, halfdressed, and gathered in anX
iOHs groups. The officers were hardly les
excited, and mingled with them. Then il
rapid succession we heard challenge au'
geply, as the advancing party passed sen
try after sentry - then the tramp an,
splash of hoofs, and at last burst into view
the long-looked-for messenger, cOyere,
with mud from head to foot, wan aud worl

DOWN IN THE MEADOW.

We strollcd down the meadow one morning /,
summer, l.r
And gathered some blossoms that grew by I'll,
way, '..
And heard in the low lands the brown pauridg,
Beat up his brown soldiers to drill for the day
The robins were gay, and the black birds were
merry,
And blue-hirds were carroling softly yet clear
And far away, up In the limbs of n cherry,
The sound of mother-bird's talk we could
hear.
The air was astir with jubilaut chorus,
For all things seemed glad in that mid
mer morn
There was sunshine behind us, and sunshine be.
Aud sunshine on wheat field and rank rows Of
corn.
We stopped by the stilc, whero the fragrant
sweet clover,
Held up to the morning its clusters of red
For kiss of the sun, as girl to her lover,
liils up her sweet cheek with her wishes un-
said.
We stood hand in hand, and looked out on the
meadows
That glistened afar in tho glow of the morn,
And noticed the shifting and trcmulous sha-
dows
The blithc breezes made in the rows of the
corn
"Did you hear what the wind said ." / asked of
the maiden
Who stood by my side, with her hand in my
own.
She answered, "Ah no! for the breezes are la
den
With too many whispers to hear one alone"
81 heard, love-" ! answered "they said, Sec
those lovers,
They walk through the meadow with hearts
full of bliss
Their secret the wind-nimph most quickly dis
covers
Ills told in look, in word, in a kiss"
She blushed, and saw all the roses grow paler
With envy and longing. She lifted her ewes
With Il shy, feigncd expression that could not
avail her;
knew that she felt neither fear nor sarprise.
Then kissed her, and 10 all the winds fell to
singing
Some merry, glad song that was almost a
psalm,
And down deep in my heart WAS a melody ring
ing
That chimed with all nature in infinite calm.
