Go and Enjoy Yourself.

-
AS far back as memory can trace, 1t has
been the custom in England to celebrate the
holidays with q season Of pantomime per-
Torrance. 1t is made the occasion Of a gala
time, and the psople both high and low seem
to give themselves up wholly to the enjoy
ment of the time. Unusua efforts are made
by the managers to rival each other in gor-
geously displayed, wondrous exhibitions Of
pantomine art. The custom has come to
tent 10 large cities and we have . number Of
companies who travel from place to place,
giving pantomins or Humpty Dumpty per-
formances. Messrs. Wilson & Thearls will
send the Gilmore Il Mlaco Humpty Dumpty
company to this place on the 2Sd Of Feb.
under the auspices OF the World Lycsum

Ireland.

London. Nov. 4.-Archbishop Croke,
of Cashel, replying to the address of
the Branen land league, advised the
tenants to tender fair rent, and If re-
fused, the fault would not be theirs.
1t would show that the Irish can, for
their country's sake, endure insults
and injuries. He declared that the gov
ernment had established reign of ter
TOR.
A subcommittee of the land court
at Belfast has given judgments in the
cases of fifteen tenants on the estate
of Archdeacon Crawford, in all except
one case, reducing the rent of el22 to
ESQ; another of Ell. to e48, and another
of $50, to e52.
Cantwell, honorary secretary, and
Kenny, treasurer of the Castle Conner
County Kilkenny land league, who
evaded arrest week ago, have re-
turned home, giving the police notice
Of their arrival. They were taken to
the Mas jail.
There is some reason to believe that
the Irish government had information
of the serious designs of the extremists
to provoke risings throughout the coun-
try before the progress of the land act
had time to create better feeling
among the people. The government,
however. was well prepared.

A GIRLS REVENGE.
1t Is Wreaked Upon the Fourteen
Year Old Sister of Her In
tended Victim.
A Strange Story of Romantic Girls
Jealousy and Crime.

Little Rock. Nov. 4.-The most ex-
trsordinary murder case ever tried In
this state is now in progress at Arka-
delphia. The defendants are Miss
Sarah Stokes and Mrs. Elizabeth Shell
ton, who are charged with the murder
of Miss Malinda Stevens. The tragedy
occurred near Mineral Springs, in
Howard county, one day last April.
The Stokes and Stevens. are prominent
people, and live on adjoining farms.
Sarah Stokes is young and exceeding
ly handsome girl Of IT, has violent
temper, is quick to resent a real or
fancied insult. and cherishes an i'm
placable- hatred toward her enemies.
Some time ago a sister of Miss Stevens
made very derogatory remarks concern
ing Miss Stokes, and this coming to the
ears Of the latter, she swore to revenge
it in a terrible manner. 1t is said the
girls were rivals; each wished to be
considered the belle OF the neighbor-
hood. Miss Stokes mounted a horse,
and, accompanied by her her sister,
Mrs. Shelton, set out to find Miss
Stevens, whom they heard was doing
some shopping in neighboring town.
The two women reached the place after
a short and rapid ride, but Miss Stevens
had been warned that they were search
ing for her and was advised to keep out
of their way, and had acted ON the sug-
gestion. After visiting all the stores
in the village without finding Miss
Stevens. the women started to return
home. Presently the twain came by the
dwelling Of the Stevens. which stood
near the roadside. The mother Of Miss
Stevens was standing in the yard, and
Miss Stokes addressed few passionate
remarks to her. The conversation
brought out Miss Malinda Stevens IA
years old, sister of Miss Stokes enemy.
and the girls soon became involved in
bitter dispute. Miss Stokes denied the
statements made by the elder Miss
Stevens as a malicious falsehood, and
the girl warmly defended her absent
sister. At last the taunts Of Miss
Stokes stung Miss Stevens to the quick
and she started impulsively forward.
As she approached the open gate Miss
Stokes sprang from her horse and
plunged a long, keen-bladed knife which
she had concealed in the bosom Of her
dress, into the neck of the advancing
girl. Miss Stevens sank on the ground,
the blood gushing from the wound in
torrents. She died in few minutes.
The inquest disclosed rock tightly
clasped in her hands. Miss Stokes and
Mrs. Shelton were promptly arrested
and have been out on bail pending the
trial. The verdict of the jury is
awaited with keen interest. The trag-
edy is said to have ruined the Stokes
and Stevens families, the members of
which are overwhelmed with grief.

what Pensions Aneut To.

Washington, Nov. 4-The commits
sioner Of pensions recommends that
congress be asked for an appropriation
of $100. 900. 900 for disbursement by tis
Office for the next fiscal year ending
June 30, 'S3, In the. payment of annual
and accrued pensions, and also that an
immediate denciciency appropriation
Of $40. 600. 900 be requested for the pur-
pose Of paying all arrears of pensions
to claimants whose cases have been, or
may be, favorably adjusted during the
current fiscal year. The commissioner
estimates that 10000 pension claims
will be allowed this year, and that with
the further increase in the clerical
force bureau, as many as 10000 may
be disposed of next year. Fully two
thirds Of the pending claims carry ar
rears Of pensions amounting to 81 500
for each claimant, and the commission
er believes the interests Of the country
will be promoted by paying Of arrears
as rapidly as possible. even at the cost
of bringing up the total pension dis
bursements to $50. 900 this year,
and to slO0, 900. 900 the next year, in
order to reduce the annual charge upon
the treasury more rapidly thereafter.
1t is estimated that the aggregate an
nual value Of United States pensions at
the close of the current year will be
about $4,000, 900, and the total PEN
sion roll, excluding the FIRST payments
or arrears, will never exceed $40, ,000.-
600.

Rock Island, Nov. Ain the Gil
christ inquiry. to-day Dana Dorrance,
pilot and captain, said that the boat
had passed through the bridge all right,
but stopped when about 600 feet above.
He asked through the speaking tube
what the matter was, but got no reply
that he could understand, thongh he
thought he heard, ''all right, in half Q
minute" He headed the boat for the
island shore to get out of the current,
but the boat was carried down upon
the bridge. He could not desert his
post, and had hopes that the engines
would work in time to get through the
bridge, and whistled for the draw to
open. He only quit the pilot house
when the boat was about to strike, and
was told by the mate to jump on the
barge. Several others calling for help
were saved directly afterwards. He

memorial hospital, to-day received the
following letter from Mrs. Garfield:
Mentor. Oct. 81.
Mr.. A. s. Solomon, Dear Sir:-Your
letter Of Oct. 22d, giving an account of
the action Of the memorial hospital
was duly received. I re-
gard the project as a great tribute to
the memory Of Gen. Garfield, and one
which would be to him most crafty
ing. The high character Of those en-
gagged in it is the best assurance Of Its
accomplishment in the most worthy
manner. 1t will be my pleasure to con-
tribute to this object.

Washington, Nov. Am United
States senator who has access to special
sources of information on the subject
of confederate property, told a WASH
ington correspondent yesterday that
the confederate coupons maturing July
l, 1865, with bonds attached, are spe-
cially sought after nowadays by a
combination of English capitalists who
are acting under the instructions Of
Judah P. Benjamin. The interest on
these bonds was paid by the confeder-
ate government from funds alleged to
be in the bank of England, on January
/, 1866. The confederate government
went to pieces in April 1865, and the
July coupons when due were not pre-
sented for payment, and now the Judah
p. Benjamin combination Of operators
has made arrangements for payment
for the full face value Of the coupons
from funds on deposit. Hence the de-
mand for this class of bonds which has
arisen recently. Speculators have even
gone to the extent of making bid for
funds Of the class specified, now in the
United States treasury.

varlons Transgressions.

Washington, ,Nov.4.-Patent medicine
venders and others are mutilating silver
by stamping advertisements Of their
goods or their names on one side. This,
is violation Of the law, and the Off
GERS are after the guilty parties.
Many Of the interior postmasters are
engaged in selling stamps in violation
OF the law to non-residents of their
town. The postoffice department has
determined to break up this Illegal
traffic. One small Office in Virginia
sold nearly $500 worth of stamps in q
few months to Baltimore merchants at
ten per cent. discount.
The war departments idea in re-
ending the order for a court mar
tial for Mason, who shot at Guiteau,
is that he was really insane. He is
now under medical surveillance. Should
he prove insane he will be sent to the
government asylum, otherwise another
court martial will be ordered.
