Mysterious Murder. In
u Closet.

CHICAGO, November 9.-Early this
morning, in a small closet of lodging
house on State street, the badly de-
composed body OF woman was found,
The body was almost naked, and the
head and face are battered beyond
recognition. The closet floor is clotted
with blood. The body was discovered
by two girls who rented the room last
night. It's last occupant was a no.
torious woman named Eva Lloyd. The
woman who rents the rooms claims to
know nothing Of the murder, and al
present there is no clew.

STILL HARp1Na ON MY DAUGHTER.


A large number Of our stats credit
exchanges are banging away at the
Wilson end of the democratic party as
lively as ever. This is their glorious
privilege and we can stand it it they
can. They and the element they rep
resent forced .he issue and made a
division inevitable. If they desire to
have it continued and prefer the com.
PAM of their new found associates
and allies in the republican party,
then so be it. They were willing to
disrupt the party for the sake of carry
ing their point IN regard to the state
debt question, forgetting, apparently,
that any other issues of impor-
tance could arise that might re-
quire a united democratic party,
It is not likely that the
fifteen or twenty low tax democrats in
thenext legislature will be consulted
when it comes to settling the state
debt. 1t will be settled withoutmuch
delay upon such terms as the bond
holders may demand. This is what
the so-ealled low element opposed, but
they are poWerless now and cannot be
held responsible for what is done with
that question If the bOndholders do
not demand dollar for dollar, it will be
because they fear that when increased
taxation begins to grind heavily the
state will again default in the semi
ANNUAL payment of interest 1t the
republicans have contiOl OF the next
legislature and can secure few dem
,ocratic votes in the senate, there is no
doubt but that coupons will be made
receivable for taxes, This once done
the settlement is irreyoeable; it
would pass beyond the control Of the
people, and be sustained by the fed
eral courts and the taxes col
lected, even at the point Of the
bayouet. But as the great bulk Of
these bonds is held by capitalists and
spectators, it is not improbable that
they will demand the coupon feature,
as this would double the price Of the
bonds at once, and they could unload
at their convenience. We have noin
clination to haggle over the issues of
the late canvass. That is among the
by-gones as far as we are concerned.
Wehope the state will prosper and keep
abreast of the times, whatever may
happen, and that we may never see
another such unfortunate and un-
necessary division Of the democratic
party. The triumphant wing has
things in its own hand, and we accept
the verdict Of the great majority as
hnality. Notwithstanding the fact
that all boilers have been read out Of
the party, and it has been given out
authoritatively that Wilson is
politically dead and buried, and
that none of his followers
need ever dare show their heads again
We hope that the $4,000 unintimi-
dated honest citizens, who voted tpr
what they thought was right, namely
submission to the people, will fee
that they are sill democrats and as
true and determined a. ever before
The asperities of the canvass should
be permitted to die out, aud we con.
graduate few of our high credit eon,
tomporaries on the spirit of fairness
and Cancellation they have manifested
since the election.

herents to factions that did not fill our
views Of consistency. We believe
that Mr.. Wilson had many honest ad.
voeates, and while we feel secure in
the knowledge that he is political
corpse, think. it useless to continue
warfare upon one that can never harm
us again. The time is here when we
should rapidly forget these things and
try to settle down to good work
in the legislature. Remember
our party has two factions there, and
while the state press keeps this ani-
mostly warm among the people, we are
less liable to work In conjunction,
which contingency will place up com.
pletely in the hands Of republicans.
Stop the quarrel; the country is al
ready sufficiently demoralized, aud
such procedure can but add to and
intensity it. We get a most disagree
able idea from any journal which dis
plays this reckless spirit-one that
tacitly confesses comiug dissolution.
We say, stand up our party is not
going to die, and when it does the
powers will have prepared a grave for
the nation.

THE WIDOW BED0TT
The grotesque, iaroical and highly
numerous Widow Bedott" drew an
excellent audience at Leubrie's thea
ter last night. The eomical features
running through the performance
kept everybody in a merry mood. The
part of the Widow is carried by Mr..
Neil Burgess, and from first to last the
spectators would never suspect him
anything else than the sure enough
garrulous feminine he represents so
cleyerly. The play, in three acts,
is crowded with absurd funnyisms.
1t was dramatized and adapted by Mr..
Burgess from sketches portraying life
in yankee village, written by D. II.
Locke, known to the literary world as
Petroleum V. Nasby." Mr. Burgess
made fine hit last night, while Mr..
Stoddart also received Aattering re-
ception, being almost as humorous.
The piece will be repeated tonight
and through the week.
EMMA ABBOTT.
There is peculiar something about
the artistic career of Emma Abbott
that distinguishes her from all other
artists. 1t is not the almost insupera-
bic obstacles which she has so bravely
met and overcome, but the little lady's
honesty of purpose, good faith at all
times towards the public, constant and
rapid progress towards perfection in
art and her personal magnetism that
have made her the idol of the public.
She has succeeded the lamented Pa
repa Rosa in occupying the chief
place IN the affections of the Ameri-
can people, ,Iand those of Memphis have
frequently and strongly indorsed the
general verdict. The opera selected
for the opening night, Monday next, is

Uses of Cork,

The lghtness Of cork makes it superior
to all other substances for life preservers.
for insuring the buoyancy of Hfe-boats.
1t is also employed As buoys to float
nets, and Ill making waterproof shoes. 1t
has also been converted into and used as
gun waddiIg.
Cork, as is well known, is a noD-con-
ductor Of heat, and is porous. These
pecUliarities have been taken advantage
Of ia the manufacture Of water coolers,
which are much used in Spain. They
are made of slabs of the wood, bent
round circular heads of the same, and
bound with hoops. The porosity Of the
cork allows the water to percOlate slowly
to the surface, and there to cool III evapO-
rating, while its non-couducting nature
prevents the heat of the sun warming the
water within.
About thirty years ago an ingenious
Frenchman introduced mattresses and
cushions in which cork, reduced to dust
or shields, was a substitute for feathers,
har or wool 1t might be used alone or
Combined with the aforementioned ma
terials 1t was claimed that these would
make easy beds, smooth, light, aud elias
tic and especially well adapted for use
at sea, where, III cases of emergency,
they might be available as -prsseryera.
But it is evident that cork mattresses did
not become popular. A variety Of walk
ing sticks are manufactured from Young
cork trees In Africa, and Spanish black,
a superior pigment, Is made Of cslcined
cork

4 Remirlssencs Of Gen. Seott.

One evening during the early days OF
our ''late unpleasantnesS" there was to be
an exhibition of Grammar School No. a
in New York City. ! arrived late at the
school building, and found several dls-
tingnished looking visitors on the plat
form of the hall. Among them was one
whom at once recognized by the poR-
traits had seen Of hint was Major
General Scott, the hero of the Mexican
war. He was In full regin1entals, and
sat In an arm chair little to the right Of
the center Of the stage-G very grand,
large man, with snowy hair and whls-
kers. He gave the most fattering, the
most rapt attention to the reading OF
every composition, TO all the singing,
declaration--every exhibition Of skill,
however perfectly or impedectly done.
The presence Of SO distinguished vlsl-
tor stimulated some to do their best,
while it scared others into doing thei1
very worst. It was on the whole, how
ever, brilliant success.
After the exercises the president of our
local board of school officers approached
the Generals chair and said something
TO him. We knew he was asked to make
'few remarks" and wondered If he
would consent. To our great delight,
there were evident signs of compliance;
the old hero commenced to rise One Of
Ghe school officers approaching his chair
on the opposite side offered to assist hum.
He declined assistance, but when the
gentleman persisted and made an at
tempt to take hold Of his arm, General
Scott impatiently and imperatively put
him aside. Those near the platform
heard him say, '1 need no assistance
no assistance-only give me Little
time" The process of getting straight
ened up on the part of the General was
very slow, but not a jerlxy or trembling
one, and suggested rather a rheumatic
infirnity than the Stiffness of age, though
he must have been over seventy. How
immensely tall he seemed as he stretched
his majestic figure higher aud higher un'
til he lowered half foot or more above
the men around him! Then he'was IN
troduced to the children, and the
tumultuous applause of hundreds o
small hands greeted him from every par
of the immense hall. The applause con
tnued until the principal touched thG
bell. The General waited until tn,
silence was perfect, and then lac said, IL
q clear, ringing voice, Youths anC
maidens' and for over halflhour h'
held forth in majestic simplicity o
style never to be forgotten by any boy o
girl who heard him, though there wa
| nothing very original about anything IA
said. He praised and encouraged tn,
pupils and aroused them to new effort
| He compared their educational adyan
taoes to those of other lands, and witt
those of this country fifty years ago. l

Undergo while converted into paper:
IN the FIRST place the straw is cut mp
fine aud passed through a tanning mill,
which separates it from all the grain and
Larticlcs of dust. 1t Is then put into
huge rotary boilers running under eighty
pounds of steam pressure, where II Is
boiled and cleansed in q strong. solution
of caustic alEaH, after which it ID emptied
into watts aud tlr0Tn up into washing en-
rilas filed with water: there the alkan
is extracted. and chlorine is added for
the purpose cf whitening il. After re-
naming Lcrc until the pulp is thoroughly
washed, it Is emphed into large watts,
where it is left to bleach twenty-fouT
hours. The pulp ii this stage Is as
white as snow, and Is one mass OF hne,
silky fiber.
The rags are first carefully assorted,
and everything not composed OF cotton or
linen is discarded They are then cut
ulr and busted by machinery, after which
4 a. are boiled and cleansed with a solu-
il.r. Of lime in other rotary boilers
lftprward they pass through the same
process as the straw until they, too, are
reduced TO a beautiful, white tibrous
pulp. Equal quantities Of rag and straw
,,uID are mixed together with lesser
.uastity Of wood pulp. TO this is added
small portion of alklin, or white clay
uni,.. is used to fill up the pores OF the
rsper. aud give it smoother surface
The whole is then put into beating en-
,if,a where II remains until the different
I1rrediauts are thoroughly united. This
,p1rlfion usually takes about three
tuJur5.
E,rs also the blue coloring Is added
blue white being considered the besa
a,ade for the paper. From the oeatlns g
lqine the pulp Is pumped up into an
sgllpr engine, where it passes through
,he last stage Of refining, and Is dropped
IA q LIQUID form into an immense tub.
II is now ready to be put into form.
Were are two kinds Of machines for this
yorl, the Fourdriner and the cylinder.
The Fourdriner, the fastest invention, Is
the most perfect machine now IN use.
The fbrous Gqui6 Is then poured from
the tub through a strainer into the ma
F., cline. where It is caught on a.. endless
sieve of very fine wire, which filters ont
/ the water and retains the fibre. This
sieve continually vibrates as it moves
/ along thus thoroughly uniting the fibre;
/ md when it reaches the section box, all
the water is drawn from the pulp. This
sheet is carried over numerous drying
cy!inders, heated by steam; then over
+ lie cvhnder rolls, where it receives lti
final gloss and finish; and is finally
wound on spools, weighed, wrapped
marked and stored, ready for shipment
