Another would-be regicide has fired at the
Emperor William on the avenue U tier den
Linden, and, being apparently better marks
man than HOdel, succeeded in wounding the
Emperor. There is spirit abroad in both
Germany and Russia dangerous to the exist.
ing governments, and the attempt of yesterday,
following recent events of similar character
in both empires, is its latest outward iniicl-
ton. An assassin lurking in the background
destroys the pleasant impression produced by
the picture of the German Emperor comforting
decoration with expressions of his dlstin-
guished regard upon the Car of all the Rus.
sias. The parliamentary war between Bis
marck and the Socialists will now be fiercer
than ever. 1t is sincerely to be hoped for
many reasons, that the wounds of the EN-
peror will not prove serious.

The District Bill.

The bill providing permanent form of gov
eminent for the District of Columbia is now
in the hands of conference committee COM
posed of men familiar with District affairs,
and in whom the District people have conf
dence. These gentlemen understand the dis
tressed condition of the tax-payers here, aud
the imperative necessity that there should be
some legislation this session for their relief
III the remainder of their property is
not to be cOnfscated at tax-sale, as already
two-fifths has been. Under The circumstances
they will no doubt, in the interests of this bur
dened community, give patient labor to the
task of reaching harmonious settlement of
the various points of disagreement between
the two houses. The people of the District will
cheerfully accept any shape of agreement that
saves to them the fifty per cent. equity. This
is the great matter of interest TO them. If any
of the minor features of the bill should prove
Objectionable in the light of experience, they
can be easily remedied at the next session of
Congress The equity proper ion, the great
measure OF District relief, having been passed
upon favOrably by both houses, the District
people now look with hopeful expectation to
the conference committee to see 1t shaped into
permanent law.

Advocates of cremation as a substitute for
burial may derive an argument for the prac-
tice from the horrors of the recent grave rob-
berry case in Cincinnati. The body of the son
of former President Of the United States is
deposited by afflicted relatives in its resting
place among the dead. Every precaution is
taken to prevent the violation of the grave
Large stones are placed above the coffin and
cemented together, and watchmen are paid to
guard the grave. Within twenty four hours
after the funeral a son of the buried man sees
unexpectedly, the body OF his father, naked
and mutilated, drawn up by rope from a pit
in medical college. The discovery of the
theft is all that distinguishes the Harrison
case from thousands OF others. Under exist
ing circumstances, the subjects" necessary
for the proper instruction of medical students
in anatomy must be stolen, and who can be
certain that it Is not his lot in the cemetery
which has been invaded?

Nicholas is married to the Princess

Grand Duke Michael married the

The connection of the royal fam
lilies Of England, Germany, Russia,
Denmark and Greece is very close.
The czars brothers have taken unto
themselves German wives, and the
czar's mother was the Princess
Charlotte of Prussia, so that Ger
many's friendly attitude toward
Russia may be based somewhat
upon reasons of consanguinity, as
well as upon Russia's services in
1866 and 1870 as a neutral. The
Duchess of Edinburg, it ia said,
never could endure her English
mother-in-law, sisters.in-law, and
brothers-in-law, so that, in the
event of a war between Russia and
England, she may retire to st.
Petersburg while the Duke of Edin-
burg is fighting her fathers navy.

toner. The farmer stipulated for a
stove "just like that" and ordered
it sent home by the team of neigh
Dor. A stove of the size and pat
tern was selected and sent away in
good shape, and all was lovely until
the next day. Then the farmer
and his wife came in with their
team, having the stove in the wagon.
The husband held the lines while
the wife entered the store and re-
marked:
"When we buy a certain kind of
stove We don't like to be put off
with another.
"Why, madam, isn't that stove
all right?" asked the man that sold
it.
"No, sir, it isn'tl you sold my
old man a stove. with red legs and
white covers, and a blue border
around the top, and that one out
in the wagon is nothing but a
scrub-looking old black stove!l"
"Why-wby-" he tried to ex-
plain, but she waved him around
and declared:
"We'er old folks, and we live out
among the frogs and owls, but we
keep pace with the styles just as
much as anyone, and you can't palm
off any scrub stoves on usp
The men could hardly lift ten
pounds apiece as they exchanged
the nicely polished stove for the one
with red legs, but the old lady
thought it was because they were
so mad.
"There-that stove has got some
tone about itw she muttered as ii
was loaded up. IL don't want to
appear capturous, but if style de-
mands red-legged stove, then l 60

lhe story.
New York Special to the St, Louis Times
The sensational rumors about
Madame Restell and the ruse per-
petrated were settled forever to-day
by a committee, appointed by the
coroner, visiting Tarrytown and ex-
huming the body of the dead abor-
ZIONIST.
The intention of examining the
body was not made known to the
public, and not more than a dozen
accompanied the committee. Ar
rivlng at the grave, it required bat
a few moments to bring the wooden
box that inclosed the metallic cas-
ket to view. The top was removed
and the coffin raised to the surface.
The protection of the glass facing
was removed, and the ghastly coun-
tenanee of the noted abortionist
exposed to full view. Destitute of
al color, with the horrible cash
extending almost from ear to ear, it
did not resemble greatly the fea'
lures of the woman whose complete
history of black deeds will never
be written. Ex-Judge Stewart
looked upon the sight for a mo-
ment and then turned away. GAL
though" said he, "death has made
sad inroads upon her countenance,
it is hers" He explained certain
peouliarities and marks upon which
he based his opinion. Others were
present who had known Madame
Restell in life, and not one expressed
doubt as to the identity of the
body. To settle all doubt, Judge
Stewart described a ring which he
had often seen her wear, and said
! if it had not been removed it would
be found upon her left hand, Thl
coffin lid was removed, and thit
last and conclusive proof of identi.
ty obtained. The body was lowered
TO its former resting place, and the
earth replaced. The afternoon papers
contained no account Of the resur
rection. and many are still under
the impression that Resteli vel
lives, and will be heard of at M

IRELAND'S MURDERED EARL.


IRELAND'S MURDERED EARL.
An Execrated LaudIord-COnsta
strife with Hts TenantEy-rhe
Family History.
The Earl Of Leitrim, recently as
sassinated in Ireland, was well
known as a landlord whose ideas of
the rights Of property prompted
him to stretch the powers given
him by the law to the utmost limit,
and who was therefore extremely
unpopular with his tenantry and
with the small farmer class gener-
ally. For over twenty-five years
he had been consolidating farms,
evicting tenants and turning his
lands into immense grass farms.
During that time he had, perhaps,
received more threatening letters
than any landlord or agent in Ire
land, and on more than one occa-
sion he is supposed to have narrow
ly escaped with his life from armed
parties lying in wait for him. lie
owned immense tracts Of land in
the counties of Donegal, Leitrim
and Derry, as well as small estate
in Kildare, and probably evicted
more tenants in his lifetime than
any man in Ireland. IL is said
that, unlike other landlords, he was
quite impartial as to the religion Of
his tenants, and hundreds Of sturdy
Presbyterian farmers now settled
in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, as
well as Catholics, were forced to
give up their homes in Donegal and
emigrate.
AT WAR WITH HIS TENANTRY.
The popular press in Ireland have
for years held him up to the public
odi1m as the worst of the "exter-
minating" landlords, and he fire.
quently figured in the low courts as
a party in aggravated suits about
land. On more than one occasion,
also, he appeared at the local "petty
sessions" in cases which aroused
considerable popular indignation
and gained him a great deal Of
newspaper notoriety. Many of his
tenantry live on the rocky coast Of
the Atlantic, where the soil is very
poor, and exc out a miserable exiS
tence, partly by fishing, partly by
gathering kelp on the sea shore,
which is sold for manufacturing
purposes. The right to gather this
kelp had been exercised from time
immemorial by the tenantry, but
some years ago Leitrim and a few
other landlords claimed the kelp as
the property of the landlord, and
in cases where he found them gath.
ering it had them arrested for theft.
The irritation caused by these petty
prosecutions was very deep and ex
tended over many parts of Ireland
not Immediately affected by the liti
cation.
THE LEITRIM FAMILY AND ESTATES
William Sydney Clements, third
Earl of Leitrim, Viscount Leitrim
and Baron Leitrim Of Manor-ham
iitop, in the peerage Of Ireland, and
Baron Clements of Kilmacrenan,
county Donegal, in that of the
/ United Kingdom, was born at Xii
ladoou, county Kildare, where thu
family had a handsome cottage, il
1906. His father had been a milo
landlord and a very popular man
and great expectations were formed
Of the son When, in 1854, he sue
ceeded to the title and estates. The
family seats are at Lougb lynn,
Dromod, county Donegal, and kil
ialoou, Celbridge, county Kildare
The family settled in Ireland dur
ing the reign Of James !, when they
obtained large tracts of confScatef
land, and the earl who has JUS
been murdered added largely to hi
estate by purchase. He Tss I'm
