Ii Law Against Attempted Suicide.

New York Life.
The public will watch with interest the
process by which the wheels of relentless
justice will grind the mother who attempted
to murder her babes and drown herself, on

mercy in her case, as there was in that of
Bettini. the young barber or lieutenant who
attempted suicide because an heiress had
Tilted him. She has no social position
nor Influential friends" nor ''aristocratic
connections such as extenuated his
case. Let, then, the full weight
of the law fall upon her. She was fiend-
ishly poor, she was depraved enough to
starve by inches in a city where Christians
pay a minister $40, 900 a year, and so aban-
doned and despicable as actually to walk
about the public streets to fiaunt her shame

stone, and roofs of cedar and mullioned
windows of costly colored glass for our

must be paid princely salaries, that they
may chant our holiness, and our ministers
must live in silken luxury, that they may
preach the Cruclied Christ in BETTING
fashion-yes, these are our necessities, and

from this noble cause to seltishly put bread

Household Hints.

Wash mating in salt and water to pre-
serve it from turning dark.
Stings of insects are relieved by the APP
p~lication of ammonia or common table salt
or aslice of onion to the part.
To clear cistern water add two ounces of
powdered alum and two OF borax to a
twenty-barrel cistern of rain water.
Iron rust may be removed from delicate
garments, upon which you dare not try
oxalic acid, by mixing the juice of a lemon
with some salt; put this over the rusted
spots, and then hold over the spout of a
steaming tea-kettle, This is almost always
effectual.
Pleasant, odoriferous p~astiles for fumi-
eating purposes may be made as follows;
Gum benjamin, one ounce, cloves, half
ounce; cinnamon, two drachms; a stick of
calamus and mucilage enough to make the
parts adhere together. Mix and then make
into shapes and dry,
A hot-water bag is a very great conve-

MISSION.


HA Was Not an Accredited Agent of the
British Government.
LONDON, June Z. - Lord Randolph
Churchill called attention to the mission of
Errington to Rome and argued that there
could be no doubt the government had rec
commended him to the Vatican, the recent
papal manifesto in regard to Irish affairs be-
ing the result. Mr.. Gladstone replied that
Burlington had gone to Rome at his W sug-
gestion, Errington informed Earl Granville
that he was going to Rome, and as Errington
was a Papist, greatly interested in Irish af-
fairs, it was only natural that his inter-
course with the Pope would be interesting to
her Majesty's government. Errington re-
ceived no pay and no instructions were given
him by the government. But, said Mr..
Gladstone, as E~rrington's visit to Rome
would tend to alter his position in the future
a record would be made of his proceedings
and kept for transmission to the successor of
Earl Granville as Foreign Secretary. Mr..
Gladstone said that the government had
given Errington Information on the real
state of Ireland il the interest of peace and
order.

PANIC IN A CIRCUS.
Barnum's Animals, Performers and Audi
ence Badly Scared by an Elephant.

CHICAGO, June There was nearly a
panic at the afternoon performance of Bar
NUNS circus. The place was completely
packed with over 5000 people. The grand
entry was being made, when one of the ele-
plants attached to a chariot became fright
ened, and went believing around the ring,
dashing into the procession and smashing
one or two of the lighter chariots. To add
to the confusion one of the lady characters
abandoned her horses, and they went dash
ing around the ring. The wild beasts, fright
ened at the uproar, began believing and
beating the bars of their cages. The rest of
the elephants became frightened and un-
manageable. The vast audience, composed
largely of women and children, was greatly
terrified, rose up in their seats, and those
near the exit made a rush and jam. For u
few moments a general panic and frightful
loss of life seemed inevitable, but the con-
tinued playing of the band treasured the
frightened multitude somewhat, and the EN-
ployes succeeded in getting the unruly
animals out and restoring quiet. No one
was seriously hurt,

Expected Retirement of President John
Jarrett from Office.
PITTsBURe, June president John Jar
rett, OF the A~malgamated Association of
Iron and Steel-workers, has semi-Of6cially
announced that he will not be a candidate
for reelection at the annual meeting of the
association, to be held in Philadelphia next
August, The duties of the Office have over
taxed Mr.. Jarrett, and, under the advice of
physicians, he takes this step. 1t is a we'll
known fact that his conservative views have
not always been in accordance with those of
a large and influential element of the associ-
alton, but his retirement, it is positively
stated, is not attributed to this cause.
Among those prominently mentioned as his
probable successor are William Weihe, OF
this city, and c. F. Thompson, vice-president
of the Wheeling district.
