ST. LoUIs.-Patrick Early confesses that
he shot Louderman. They were all at
Contenburg Theatre, Tuesday night and
Early and his companions ''guyed" Louder
man who was treating some girls engaged
in the place.
He called them rats and tramps, ETC.,
making them angry. They followed him
from the theatre, at the corner of Sixth
and Chestnut Streets and asked him what
he meant by calling them names. Lauder
man replied roughly and pulled police
mans billy, knocking one of the Seacheri-
ty boys down and striking Early, when the
latter drew pistol and fired. This state
ment appears to be accurate and accords
with VOLTS.
Tile local reporter of the Westliche
Post got the first clue from son of his
landlady who witnessed the shooting and
knew most of the boys engaged in it. A
reporter of the Republican was consulted
and the two worked on the case until 2 a.
m, when they gave the Chief of Police
their facts, and in two hours all the boys
were locked up.

INDIAN WORK.

LAS VEGAS, N. NJ, Aug. 15.-Meagre
news reached this city last night that the
Apaches had swooped down ON a small
Mexican village, eighteen miles from Pho
Purco, point on the Atlantic 81 Pacific
Railway. and murdered 81 out of 80 inhab.
itants. The two Mexicans who made good
their escape were nearly exhausted when
they reached the railroad, and had their
horses shot from under them before getting
out of reach of the Indians.
From the scarcity of news obtainable on
account of broken telegraphic communica-
tion,it appears that the Apaches complete
ly surrounded the village, thus making es-
cape from the doomed habitations impos-
sible. The track of the fndians in their
outward march is a continuation of murder
and bloodshed, and the justly indignant
citizens of this section demand that the
government put body of troops into the
field Immediately to entirely wipe out of
existence the red devils who are commit
ing such terrible slaughter and atrocities
among the whites and Mexicans.

The seed is sown, and the young
plants, as they peep out, have to be
transplanted. Herein is said to be one
Of the arts of gardening. The expert
enced man can distinguish between the
young plants which will produce double
and single blossoms. a choice has to
be made, unless the horticulturist wishes
to run the risk of losing the benefit of
his labors by producing single flowers
when double ones only are in demand.
With wall-fowers and asters more than
ordinary care is required, and the florist
who cannot judge for himself has to
have recourse to the services of the
essimpleur, who goes about from gar
den to garden giving consultations and
advice in the same manner as a doctor
calls on his patients and gives them the
benefit of his superior knowledge,
writing out prescriptions, etc. AS fast
as one flower is done with it is replaced
by another, for the maxim of the gar
dener is never to allow any portion of
his ground to remain idle. The essim-
pleur has learned how to become a
prophet in his own country, he is looked
up to by his fellow-men, his opinions,
technical and political, are respected,
and honors are showered on him with a
lavish hand. London Globe.

A Sheik's Death.

During the last hours of Khalil
Effendl, the venerable Sheik-ul- Islam,
who died a short time ago at CONSTANT
nople, twelve softas, stationed in his
death chamber, were necessarily en-
gagged in chanting chanters from the
Korau, with the pious object of facilita-
ting the passage of his soul from this

breathed his last his six wives were adj
mitted to his bedside, where they set up
piteous wailing, beating their breasts
the while, and continued to give ex-
preston to their grief In this dismal
manner until removed by the eunuchs
in order that Khalils body might be
prepared for its interment, which took
place within seven hours of his DEATH
After being bathed in perfumed water,
the aged dignitary's corpse was in

trrban, which he had worn upon his

The Turkish People.

AConstantinople correspondent writes
as follows of the Turkish people: The
comn1onest form Of rich lady's cloak
is entirely native as regards material
and shape. 1t is a piece of heavy silk,
rarely good in color, upon one end of
which formal and meaningless devices
have been worked in gold. The charac-
ter of them suggests that In former days
this outdoor garment consisted Of two
pieces, one golden scarf for the head,
with pendant fringe and tassels, the
other a mantle of plain silk. In process
of time the scarf and tassels were incor-
porated, as it were, In the mantle, sur
viving only as cumbrous ornament.
It is not necessary to describe the APP
pearance of the Turkish woman thus
appareled Every one knows how they
stride along like animated sacks, show
ing more than enough Of coarse white
stocking, ill-made French boots, or
trailing yellow slippers. Not few
wear socks, always down at heel, often
trailing in the perennial mud Fine
eyes, both gray and black, are com-
mon, and quite enough is seen
of the features to assure one that
beauty of face is not sparingly distrib-
uted. While lightly DEPRESSING in this
by-path I would point out the exceeding
fairness of the race. The Turkish peas
ant has whittier skin than the Greek
townsman. Southern Italians even are
more dusky of complexion. Fair hair
and light eyes abound in all classes, and,
unless it be man evidently crossed
with Indian blood, you will never see a
Turk so brown Of skin as are the vast
majority of Greeks. In height and
strength Of build, also, they are superior
to all their subject peoples, excepting
the Albanian. This magnificent race,
the Skipetar, is the Pathan of Europe,
but vastly above its Asiatic antitype in
all the finer qualities of man. No un-
prejudiced observer can doubt that the
Albanian, with all his shortcomings and
his faults, is the most hopeful, as he is
most interesting, of the nationalities
subject to Turkey Above all, he is an
tistic, permeated with a sense of fitness
and beauty, which he displays in man.

The Working Men.

The noblest men that live on earth,
Are men whose hands are brown with toll,
Who backed by no ancestral birth,
Hew down the woods and till the soil;
And win thereby a prouder fame
Than follows kings or warriors name.
The working men, whate'er their task,
To carve the stone to bear the hod,
They wear upon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal of God;
And brighter are their drops Of sweat
Than diamonds in corOne'
God bless the noble working men,
Who rear the cities of the plain;
Who dig the mines and build the ships,
And drive the commerce of the main;
God bless them, for their swarthy hands
Have wrought the glory Of all lands.

A HEART BUT NO HAND

Mr.. Conkling, amid his own troubles
at Albany, finds time to send sym.
pathetic message TO Malone at Rich.
mond, who is now engaged there in
trying to keep his party together un.
der the cold comfort Of Blaine. Prob
ably it is Blaine's coldness that thaws
out Conklingi or, perhaps, it is a fol
feeling with Malone in his mis-.
fortunes that inspires the Albany vic
tim of bad luck to telegraph to the
Richmond unfortunate, that "your
every effort for the true advancement
of the South, and to make elections
real and fair, has my whole heart. u
His heart is all that Roscoe has to give

ment from Mr.. Blaine. They would
have been of good deal moro account
than Mr. Conkling. But we greatly
fear that the administration has con.
cluded that Mr.. Malone and the Re-
adjusters are no good.
The trouble is that there is Rcpub-
lican party in Virginia, which party
has a number of decent men in il who
do not believe in Mr.. Malone or his
doctrines. One Of its chief organs, the
Valley Virginidn, declares that the
party can have no alliance with the
Malone party, and that seems TO be
the well.settled determination of its
leaders.
Another trouble is that Malone can.
not 60 into the Republican camp and
take his followers with him. He only
damages the Democratic party by
claiming to be Democrat This be.
ing his only strength it would be a
plain case of suicide to proclaim him.
