Killed by Her Father for Drinking.
AsHEv11LE, June Ruth Testaman, a
bright beautiful little girl of s, was killed by
her father. Jacob Testaman, yesterday for
getting drunk. Testaman is a well-to-do far
mer who lives IA miles from here. Yester-
day he went off in the neighborhood on a
spree, accompanied by Ruth. Whilethe father
was lying down in the shade, sleeping off the
effects of his libations, the child crept up to
him, secured the bottle of whiskey which he
had near him, and emptied the contents down
her mouth The child made her way home,
where her father found her beastly drunk
He swore that he would kill her, and reused
her and told her of his intentions. The lit
tie thing begged piteously for her life saying,
PA, don't kill me now, 1 am drunk; wait
till I get sober" TIL, Sc appeals were of no
avail The Infatuated man dragged his child
out of the bed and beat her to death Tesla
man is an old tippler, and though Ruth had
accompanied her father on many of his
drunken sprees and often times been sent to
neighboring grocery for liquor, she had
neyer before been tempted to taste it.

The Tran,it of Venus.


The great importance of the coming tran
sit of the 9th of December, in the estimate
of the men of science, may be seen in the
preparations now being made for its obser-
vation Forty expeditions to witness 1t are
already projected, and the number will be
largely increased by those of the United
States, Italy and Austria, which have not yet
been announced. The French government
will send eight expeditions to the following
points, four in north latitude aud four In
south latitude In the north the stations
chosen are the coast of Florida, under the
charge of Colonel Perrier Cuba, under 81.
d'Abbadie; the coast of Mexico, under Nj.
Bouquet de la Grye; Martinique, an island
of the French Antilles, under NJ. Tisseraud.
In the south the stations chosen are Santiago
IN Chilli, under NJ. Leclerc; Santa Cruz,
river of Patagonia, under NJ. Fleuriais; Rio
Negro, the northern boundary of Patagonia,
under NJ. Perrotin and Port Desire or
Chubutt, also in Patagonia, under NJ. HIATT.
The members of all the expeditions are now
preparing for their work at the observatory
in Paris, where by means of model Venus
and model sun they are practicing on i'm
aginary transits i'll hopes of being able to OBJ
serve with scientific accuracy the passage of
the real Venus over the real sun in Deem
ber They will start for their destinations in
the month of July, and spend the intervening
time after their arrival in diligent preparation
for the event.
The object of this great expenditure of
time, labor, money and brains is the hope
that the observers may determine, with an
accuracy never before attained, the earth's
! distance from the sun. For this is the unit
of celestial measurement and as long as the
doubt concerning its accuracy exists, so long
| there is doubt in the estimate of celestial
| distances. But cloudy day will render
months of inremitting labor of no avail. 1t
| is estimated that the weather at half the
| stations will be unfavorable, but great deal
may be learned from the observations made
| at the other half, where the favorable condi-
| tions prevail, according to the law of aver
ages. The four southern stations of the
| French expeditions are in the south temper
ate zone, and the 9th Of December will be
near their summer solstlce, like the 9th OF
| June at the north The localities favored
with clear sky on this meridian at the time
| of the transit will be specially fortunate, fol-
| the short winter days are not hopeful IL
| their conditions. A transit of Venus Is not {
| glorious phenomenon like a total solar eclipse
| It is simply the passage of round black bal
over the suns bright face. But 1t is visible
all over our western world, and no human
eve that now looks upward to the stars vii
ever again behold its recurrence. 1t Is thu
last chance for trying this method of estima
ting the SUMS distance until the advent O.
the year 1904.

PARIS, June lin the French Chamber of
Deputies during the debate on the Egyptian
question NJ de Freycinet said that the gov
eminent had no intention of sending mill
tary expedition to Egypt, but hoped by Eu-
ropean concert to ensure order in that court.
M. de Gambetta declared his willingness to
accept the decisions of the conference if the
government showed that they were intimi-
dated into accepting the good Offices of the
powers in dealing with the question. tre-
mendous uproar followed Gambetta's remarks
and after order had been restored III de Frey
cinct replied that France had entered the con-
ferecne on the sole condition that the integ-
rity of the status quo in Egypt would be
maintained even if Turkish interference
should be authorized by the conference.
vote of confidence in the government was
then taken, and resulted 295 yeas to 70 nays.
The troops in this city held meeting in
the barracks and demanded the immediate
of Prince Hahn as Khedive.
Arab Bey Gained the soldiers and in an ad-
dress advised them to have patience and
promised to keep the Khedive as hostage.

murderous attack on all the passengers
Judge Pillsbury of Pontiac Ill, was sho
through the hip and dangerously wounded
-Four colored non union men were terr1blJ
and fatally beaten and many passengers bad
ly wounded.
Judge Pillsbury is judge of the second dis
trict appellate court and was passenger on
the Chicago and Alton railroad train proceed
ing to his home at Pontiac. He is universal
ly respected and the rioters could have had
no spite against him. But hundred in
furiated iron workers belonging to the
union rushed madly through the cars shooting
right and left, clubbing everyone or slashing
them with knives. All the passengers were
more or less wounded, but none
fatally except Judge Pillsbury and four
colored non unionists. Judge Pillsbury was
brought to this city and physicians probed
unsuccessfully for the ball which lodged IN
the illium. Subsequently the judge was con-
yeyed on the midnight train to his home at
Pontiac in a very critical condition. The
four colored men who were so ter
ribly beaten we're also taken to their
homes in Joliet on the same train
and will probably die. 1t seems the object
of the rioters was to intimidate the scabs who
had taken the place of the strikers at the
mills. When the evening train first stopped
ct Brighton Park station several rioters
boarded the cab and with pistols intimidated
the engineer to hold the train until their
murderons work was accomplished. A large
force of police repaired to the scene later on
and at midnight had arrested several rioters.

he said, pledged their support to the Khe-
dive.
