CLARA RENNICKs, ga beautiful girl Of Irish
American parentage," waiter In a San Fran
Disco saloon, is credited with two suicides Not
that she took or attempted to take her own life
twice. but that two foolish men have sought
death because she refused to marry them. The
first, one Joseph c. Sanchez. was a married man.
He fell in love with Clara, and left his family for
her sake. She preferred another. and Sanchez
shot himself. The second victim George
Blamire, stOrekeeper in the navy-yard. He
was unmarried, and had obtained the tickle
Claras consent to become his wife. She after.
ward declined; and, on Sunday, he sought out
5anchez's grave and committed suicide there,
his body falling across it. 1t Is too bad that San
Francisco youth will kill themselves on account
of beer-slinger, but since they seem deter
mined to do so, 1t is very kind Of them to leaEe
their remains in pile. The coroner will know
where to look for 'em hereafter.

A Clatrvoyant's Den of Infamy-YOung
 School Girls AlIured to a Life of Most Degrading shame.
 BOSTON, April 30.-Madame Wolcott,~ a
 well-known clairvoyant, was held in the po-
 lice court to-day in $4,5OO on six counts for
 abduction and one for keeping a house of
 i'll fame. The testimony at this womans hearing was that of six school girls, from fourteen to sixteen years old, whom she had enticed from their homes to assist her in
 pandering in various ways to the lowest
 vices known to the race. The testimony was
 horrible and sickening to the last degree.
 The girls have been in the business only since September, yet all are diseased and some are under treatment for diseases of the throat Three gre pregnant. Some of the girls attend school daily, going to the house after school to do whatever is required of them, and at eight or nine o'clock in the evening return to their homes. They are | kept in school for the purpose of procuring l other school girls for like purposes, An em- ploye on one of the northern railroads, who YVES called away from home recently, leaving his sick wife in charge of his little girl, re- l turned the other day to find his wife dead and his girl an inmate of Madame Wolcott's den. There is another den of a similar na- | ture on Harrison avenue, where some six. | teen girls from one school are similarly en- l ployed. Wolcott's den is said to have been patronized by some of the wealthiest men in l Boston. Her arrest is the result of weeks of detective work and marks the beginning of a destructive war some half hundred she devils advertising under the guise of clair voyants

The Rev. Prof Johnson of Trinity Col-

The Rev. Prof Johnson of Trinity Col-
 The Rev. Professor Edwin Emerson John son, of Trinity college, who has been suffer- ing for some time from an accident he re- ceived last fall, has been for three or four days in a very critical condition and was yesterday expected to survive but few hours. The Hartford Times in just article upon the very worthy and esteemed gentle man says: tMr- Johnson was born and brought up in Naugatuck, in this State, and was graduated at Trinity college in the class of '59. Though poor, he was very indepen- Scholarship society, and supporting himself through his entire college course as a teach CT of languages in Miss Draper's semi nary. He was a very hard student and at his graduation took the second honor in his class, the Latin salutatery. But for his outside labor he probably would have ta- ken the first. He pursued his theological studies in the Berkeley Divinity school, at Middletown, and after his ordination was called to the rectorship of church in. Au- gusta Maine From there the trustees of Trinity called him in 1867 to the professor ship of English literature in the college, and when, in 1872, the Brownen professorsAip of rhetoric and of the English language and literature was founded, Professor Johnson naturally advanced to that position On the retirement, from ill health, of the Rev. Fran cis Goodwin from the rectorship of Trinity church in this city, Professor Johnson was called to fill the vacancy, and he has since been rector of the church and profes- sor at Trinity, filling both positions with sig nal ability. How worthily he has acted his part in his rectorship, bis parishioners, and especially the poor, to whom his heart and hand always have been open. know we'll And how ably he has performed the duties of his professorship is witnessed in the frank ad-
 mission of both Yale and Harvard that ln the department of rhetoric and of the English language and literature, under the direction of Professor Johnson, Trinity has long been ahead of any college in this country. In addition to his church and col Iege labors, Professor Johnson has for many years been prominent contributor especi- ally of book reviews. to the Churchman, published in New York.
 Professor Johnson is about 45 years old His death, which, at this writing, seems in evitable, will be loss which will be univer- sally felt in this city, and Trinity college will find it difficult to supply his place.

Restless Armenians and Greeks.
 CoNsTANTNoPLE, April 3O.-The agitation in Armenia and amongst the Armenians and Greeks in Asiatic Turkey already alluded to in the cable dispatches of the United Press association have assumed such unexpected importance that while they are purely local and political the representatives of foreign governments have felt called upon to inter fere indirectly and to call the attention of the ministry to information which has come into their possession from consular and other sources under their own control. The official reports to the embassies show the condition of Armenia to be most pitable and that the causes of complaint are urgent. The representatives of England and France, as well as those of the Slav and Greek govern ments, have urged reforms and the Ottoman ministry has promised to do what it could in the matter, but thus far nothing whatever has been done and the difficulties become more serious every month,

 allude to it in the following fashion: The

 able increase of the land transport corps
 both in England and Ireland and other
 countries where our troops are on duty. The
 fact remains that the improved service is be-
 gun first and only in Ireland, where the min istry seems to think it may be needed at any day and where troop transportation other than by rail has become notoriously difficult. This department has never heretofore been considered of great consequence and has never been made adequate for ordinary pur- poses and has been utterly inefficient for emergencies. The scale of the service will be very much enlarged. Troops on the march in Ireland have for years had the greatest difficulty in getting transportation even for personal baggage in districts where and at times when the most perfect quiet pre- vailed. The people have regarded the soldiers as their enemies and as the representatives of English power, and even where the farmers possessed facilities their horses and carts and services have often been given very un- willingly and sometimes under protest. It is now proposed to place the soldiery in 8 posi- tion to be quite Independent of all local aid of whatever sort and they will be able to take with them all their camp equipage and per sonal baggage

The theory of the prosecution was that the deceased and the prisoner had been unduly intimate. but that she became tired of his attentions and stabbed him. Her tes- timony was that Houvet pursued her with opportunities and that in a moment of des- peration she had repulsed him with a table knife. Her husband has championed her cause throughout and when she was acquitted to-day the two kissed and embraced each other and went out of the court followed by many sympathizing friends.
