JOLIET, Ill, March :.
Frank Rande committed suicide in
his cell this morning by hanging himself
to the iron door. He was placed in a
solitary cell last Monday morning by or
der of Deputy Garvin, since which time
he has had no communication with any
one except his keeper. When last seen
last evening he was quite cheerful, only
that his close confinement

keeper visited his cell at eight O'Clock
this morning to give him his breakfast,
when he was found hanging to the door
by rope made from his clothing. He
adjusted the rope about his neck
In REGULAR HANGNAN STYLE,
with the knot under his right ear. The
other end of the rope was firmly fastened
to the top bar of the grated door. He
spread his coat on the stone floor ands
placed his cell pail upon ii, SO that when
he stepped off the pail would make no
noise. Stepping upon the pail

and then he swung off. When found this
morning he was quite dead and cold, hay-
been dead doubtless some hours. He
will be buried this afternoon in the prison

AN RATE PARSON.

Rev. Jos. Cook, Disturbed In Nap by q
Brother Divine with Whom no Had
Agreed to Attend = Prayer Meeting, Bo
hnves in Most Unministerial Manner.
KEEN. N. H. March 8.
An authorized version of q recent dis
play of ministerial pugilism has just been
made public, in which the Rev. 10. Cook
assaulted fellow clergyman at .
Motel here for having called him
seven minutes too early to attend
prayer meeting. A local paper
last week published an account of the
encounter, but the conduct of the Rev.
Mr.. Cook was represented as so
gross that but few would believe in
the correctness of the narrative. To-day,
however, the belligerent clergyman is out
in a letter in which the principal features
of the affair are admitted. The COM
mon version of the affair is this: The
Rev. J. Cook was to deliver his lecture
on "The Seven Wonders of the World'
in the City Hall one evening. On reach
ing town in the afternoon he took room
at the Cheshire House, where he was
called upon by the Rev. Mr.. Price, pastor
of the Second Congregational Church,
and invited to attend and take part in the
church prayer meeting just before the
lecture. At the time agreed upon Mr..
Price knocked at the door of Mr.. Cooks
room, but instead of being courteously
received, he was set upon by Mr.. Cook,
who in towering rage, having appar-
emily been disturbed in nap, came out
in the hall, and seizing the visitor began
pushing him about and otherwise laying
violent hands upon him, at the same time
using language unbecoming gentleman.
The disturbance attracted the attention
of large number in the house, and land
lord Sherman, who was eating his supper,
was among the first to arrive at the
scene, but on seeing two of his distin-
guished guests engaged in private bust
ness, he returned to the dining room and
finished his toast with as much COM
posture as Josh Whitcomb resumes his
prayer after throwing the drunken father
of little Tot through the window. Other
witnesses say that the outcries of the en-
ragged lecturer were emphasized by the
use of such explosives as "Barbarian!"
"Hottentotn' "GorilIan' etc. The Rev.
Mr.. Price opened his meeting unas-
sisted, and there was large attend
ance, as usual; perhaps few more, as no
tice had been given of the expected ap-
pearance of the Rev. Joe Cook. Before
many minutes had elapsed he was seen
by the pastor, seated near the door, and
as soon as practicable he left the desk
to speak with him, and returned unac-
companied. At the proper time Mr..
Cook was invited to lead in prayer,
which he did with seeming reluctance.
Singing followed and then he was invited
to speak, but instead of noticing the re-
quest, he seized his hat, and fastened
out of the church, not even taking care
that the door should not slam after him.

VIENNA, March 9.
Serious alarm and much excitement
| has been caused by the discovery by the
police of three large dynamite laboratories
in the heart of the city, all of which show
signs of having recently been occupied.
EVERYTHING indicated that dynamite was
then being manufactured, and that the
| occupants had made hasty exit. The
activity of the Terrorist party causes
| greatest uueasiness among the wealthiest
| classes, and general feeling of insecur-
| ity prevails on account of the number of
| dynamite bombs being scattered broad
| cast over the city. Bombs are found in
| the street almost daily. AS yetno serious
| explosion has taken place The detective
| force has been doubled, and is continu-
| ally securing the city and suburbs for dy-
| Mantle. Last evening man dressed in
| the garb of workman was arrested
| while attempting to smuggle number of
small bombs into the city. He made
| desperate resistance, and attempted to
explode one of the bombs. He was finally
overpowered and taken to the police sta
ton He refused to reveal the place
where he procured the bombs. From in
formation received by the police and from
other sources it is believed that dynamite
| is being manufactured in the suburbs.
A number of detectives are actively
searching the suspected places. care
full examination of some of the dynamite
discovered has led to the belief that
large quantities of the stuff are received
by Terrorists from friends in America,
and that it is shipped from America via
Switzerland. The Swiss authorities have
been asked to keep sharp lookout for
int for To
tria. The Austrian Government has Sc
cured the services of a number of Swiss
detectives to aid in the search for explo-
siveS.
ROME, March 6.
It transpires that the German, Aus
trian, Spanish, French and other Ambas-
sailors here are receiving instructions to
confer with Mancini, the Italian Minister
of Foreign Affairs, regarding European
cooperation with view to demanding
that the Government of the United States
enact legislation against the avowed
dynamite emissaries. Some of the Am
bassadors declared themselves in favor of
reviving the stringent passport system
for all travellers from America. Others
say that the Government at Washington
is best able to adjust the remedy without
European interference. Signor Mancini
recognized the difficulty of the authors
ties at Washington in inaugurating legal
surveillance. He also points out the
English protection to foreign emissaries
who legally enjoyed immunity from ar
rest when the interests of Great Britain
were unmolested. Some ambassadors
say that while England fostered revolu-
tionary incendiaries regardless of dis
asters TO other nations, she now COM
plains only when she herself is damaged.
Other ambassadors take the ground that
moral suasion is the only remedy for So
cialiStic evils.

ANOTHER CLEAN HAUL.

T
The Safe OF Paymaster Bartlett OF the Chi
cago Huntington Quincy Railroad In
Chicago Robbed Of &s7 ,OOO-An Unfortre-
nate Lunch Trip.
CHICAGO. ILL.,. March Z.
Last Saturday about one o'clock p. m,
Paymaster c. A. Bartlett, of the Chicago,
burlington & Quincy Railroad, left hes
Office for lunch without taking the neces-
sary precaution to close the combination
OF the big safe in which money for the
payment of employees was deposited. On,
leaving the room he did SO without wait
ing the return of other attaches OF the
office, who had all gone to lunch. Before
his return the safe was robbed of all its
contents, with the exception of some pack
ages of nickels and small change, the total
amount disappearing, as near as the COM
pany officials can estimate, being S27 900.
On the facts becoming known and an in
vestigation being instituted, Paymaster
Bartlett was discharged from the service
of the company for negligence, and the
matter placed in the hands of detectives.
Effort was made to keep the affair secret
in the hope that the detectives would be
becoming known, and in the belief that
an exaggerated statement would be pub
lished concerning the robbery, the officials
showed a willingness to let the exact
facts be furnished the public.
THE THEORY ADVANCED
by the Treasurer of the company Is that
the robbery was accomplished by
sneak thief. Two doors lead into the
cashiers Office from vacant room, one
of which was found ajar on the paymas-
ter's return. The Paymaster's room Is
located in the general Offices of the COM
pany on the second floor of the building,
and was constructed especially with q
view to guard against intrusion or theft,
but in this instance the most ordinary
precautions appear to have been ignored.
The explanation given by the Paymaster
is that it was supposed that the vacant
room adjoining his Office was al
ways kept locked, but in this case 1t
was proved otherwise. This door was
close to and adjoining the vault in which
the safe was located. When the Pay
master left the room the cashier of the
company and an assistant, who occupy
practically the same room, but sit at
desks somewhat removed from the yanlt,
and in an angle which partially conceals
the entrance to the vault, SO that any one
entering from the vacant room could have
accomplished the robbery without their
knowledge, the Paymaster assumes that
the robbery must have been committed
by some one having complete knowledge
of the room and the habits of its occu-
pants.

KID GLOVES.
Where the Leather is Obtained and How
the Gloves Are Made.

Where the Leather is Obtained and How
the Gloves Are Made.
The best skins for kid gloves, '.Pru-
dence'' will find by careful inquiry,
come from middle and southeastern
France. Fine seasons improve the
quality of the skin greatly, as the ami
mails are kept in the open air. In wet
weather it is necessary to keep the kids
housed. The confinement, if lengthy,
causes heating. and produces fever
sDots on the skins. The animals on the
Tyrol Mountains furnish good leather
! for mems wear. South American kids,
| heinz more or less wild, their coats be-
| come scratched by contact with bushes,
| briars, ETC., and are not desirable, The
| pelt as taken from the animal is dried;
then. through series of baths, the hair
! and grease are removed and the skin
is cleaned thoroughly. A most difficult
| STAGE of the business is tanning and
dveing the feathers, SO much skill being
| required to obtain the requisite shades
| and coiors. This is accomplished with
| the best success in France, as the
French possess the art of leather dye
mo to a degree not vet attained by
| Otner ndIlOLS. LII oItCi q ~
make the skin soft, full and flexible, it
is fed INTELLECTUALLY absorbing quite a
quantity ola preparation of wheat
flour and egg yolks. Subsequently the
parts around the neck and shoulders.
where the skin is thickest, are shaved
with a sharp knife to render it uniform
in thickness throughout. The leather
fully prepared is carefully examined
for imperfections; perfect skins are re-
tanned, imperfect ones laid aside. The
cutting of material for kid gloves can
only be done by hand, each piece being
carefully measured to allow the proper
stretchingspace The stamping which
comprises cutting out the form of the
glove is done by machinery rapidly. as
three pairs are usually stamped" at
one time. From the cutter they pass
to the embroiderer, thence to the sewer,
then to the button-hole maker, after.
ward to the finisher, who binds tho
wrist. and finally to the person whose
business it is to pair and press them

QUEER PAYMENTS FOR LAND.
Three Grains of Pepper or a at
Midsummer to Pay the Rent.

Three Grains of Pepper or a SNOWFALL at
Midsummer to Pay the Rent.
The term pepper corn rent is a
familiar one to us all. and instances of
such a rem having been fixed are
neither few nor far between. Thus,
Bermeton, in Durham, was held by
the service Of three grains of pepper
yearly; Finchley. in Middlesex. by the
annual rent of a pound of pepper corn;
Highgate, in Denbigh. was leased for Il
term of five hundred years at the
annual rent of one pepper corn; and for
a fortieth part of II nights fee in the
manor of Leyham, in Suffolk, Phillippa
Ross rendered zone capon and the
third part of one capon, and the third
part of n pound of pepper. A SINH
lar custom was that of Pokerly. in
Durham, which lands were held ''by
one Glove on st. Cuthberts day, in
September. for all other services All
the foregoing examples of services may
be rendered as, TO some extent, reason
able. though inadequate as payment
for the lands held; but many OF the ser
Vices rendered appearsto be purely az
bitrary and capricious, as when farm
at Brook House, in Yorkshire, wa,
held by. the payment of a SNOWFALL a
midsummer and a red rose at Christ
mas" Roses often appear in thest
services. Lands in Crendon, in Buck
lnghamshire, were held by the ''servic'
OF one chaplet of roses at Christmas.
FOR the manor of Fulmer. in the same
county, Sir Marmaduke Darel rendered
one red rose yearly; as did Ralph d,
Belyoir forlands in Miekelham. Surrey
and Sir William Sandes for the manor
OF otene and Hinton, in Northampton
Lastly, certain lands at Haine. in Sur
rey, were held of the men OF Kinrstor
upon condition of rendering to the sale
men three Glove gilliiiowers at tn,
kings coronation;" and perhaps tn,
single Glove referred t above, as if i
were a spice, should rather be regardc,

DUCKS VS.. HENS EGGS.

French Authority for Saying That Ducks
Lay More and Richer Eggs Than Hens.
An experiment was lately made in
France for the purpose of finding h
relative value of hens and ducks as egg
producers. Three of each sort were
selected for testing the result by obser-
vations as to their relative fertility.
Between the first day of January and
the end of August, the three hens laid
257, and the ducks 402 eggs. More
over, in the autumn months of the pre-
vious the ducks had yielded 215
eggs while the hens had completely
ceased laying, Altogether, therefore,
the ducks had produced 617 eggs within
the twelve months as against 257 OBJ
tanned from the hens. The birds of
each class selected for experiment were
of the same age. and, as far as
could be Judged, of the same relative
size and strength. Of course a more
extended series of trials must be under.
taken before any definite opinion al
be given on the relative merits of duck
| versus hen in the matter OF egg laying.
But there are eggs and eggs. and it re-
| mains to consider their comparative
value as food, as produced by the hen
or duck respectively. This was under
| taken hv a French chemist, NJ. Com
mail, who gave the result of his analysis
| of both varieties. Ahen'segg weighing
60.4 grammes equal to 4.433 grains
| avoirdupois), was found to consist of
- grammes of shell and membranes,
52.2 grammes or $500 per cent. of the
| contents. One hundred parts Of the con-
tents of a hens egg contained Pol
dry matter, LOS ash, and 1l.21 fat,
while the proportions of the same sub
stances in a ducks egg were found to
be 1882, 1.16, and 1J.09 respectively.
! 1t follows, therefore, that ducks are
not only the more prolific layers. but
their eggs are also richer in fat TO no
in~considerable extent, facts that will
not fail to interest the reader.-AmeTt-
can C~Uitirator.
