They were performing 'Nobody's Claim,"a

had the climax of one act to himself in the
biting of the villain, a horse commanded the
situation at another fall of the curtain, and
fire distracted all attention from the acting
in the browning episode. Nowhere in the
play was there much dependence upon the
human voice for producing an exciting eff

Odd Things the Deaf and Dumb
Learn.


A very curious thing about deaf mutes is
the rapidity with which they learn the mean
ing and the use of slang words and phrases.
The ordinary street language of the day
seems to be every bit as familiar to them as
it is to people whose organs of hearing are
not impaired, and they will say, in their own
way, You bet your boots " or You bet
your sweet lifel' with as much ease and grace
as if they had had it at their tongues end all
their lives. One Of the afflicted young men
whom asked for an explanation Of this re-
markable fact said the deaf mutes got their
knowledge Of slang from the newspapers,
that they were great readers of the papers,
and snapped up a new phrase or word just
the moment it made it appearance. They
not only use slang in writing, but also in
their sign language.

HIRING OUT DIAMONDS.
How Costly Jewels are Obtained for

''That was an expensive set of jewelry,"

When the End of Polysamy Comes.

I'd. Conway in San Francisco Chronicle.]
In the Revelation on Celestial Marriage,
given to Joseph Smith, Nauvoo, July IL,
lS43,n it is written: "And again, verify,
verify, say unto you, if any man have a
wife who holds the key of this power, and he
teaches unto her the law of my priesthood,
then shall she believe and administer unto
him, or she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord
your God, for will destroy her. This con-
stantly repeated sentence is the iron out of
which many marriage rings are made in
Utah; they bind the Mormon woman, but
she does not pretend to love her fetter. In
the breast of every woman in that territory
there is an enemy or potential traitor to the
system of polygamy, and when, as must
sometime be the case, the struggle with
polygamy becomes recognized war for the
deliverance of woman, the end of the
Deseret dispensation will be swiftly-it is to
be feared violently--reached. As Goethe
wrote: ''Ever the womanly leadeth us on

FOUL MURDER.
a Zura Burns Affair Discovered in
Chicago.

A Zura Burns Affair Discovered in
Chicago.
CHICAGO, Jan. 16-The dead body of
Amelia Olsen, a plump, stout, fair.haired,
and good-looking Norwegian girl, aged 10,
was discovered in a lot near the corner of
Chicago avenue and Leavst street by
Charles Flint, Of $40 Ashland avenue,
who Immediately turned in an alarm,
and the corpse was removed by the
West Chicago avenue patrol wagon to
the home of the girls parents, at
$50 Thomas street. Miss Olsen was seam
stress, and worked for Mrs Emma Carlson,
dressmaker at 239 West Indiana street
There is about one hundred acres of open
prairie in the locality where the body was
found, and it is supposed that while going
home, in the evening, she was seized by
some men, dragged to an out-of-the-way
place, strangled, outraged and abandoned.
There were no marks of violence on
the body except at the throat, around
which her veil was tightly drawn. There
were no marks Of struggle at the spot
where the body was discovered, but an empty
liquor-fask was near by, which had evil
IDENTIFY been broken on stone The girls
clothes were drawn up about her waist,
leaving her lower limbs exposed, but there
were no evidences of rough treatment on her
person. From the position of the body it
was evident that she had been dragged a con-
siderable distance by her arms and the
tightly tied veil about her neck.
AS yet the police have no clew as to who
perpetrated the foul outrage. They say that
a number. of hard characters live about the
corner of Chicago avenue and Leavitt street,
but suspicion points to no particular person
or persons at present. Although there were
no signs of a struggle having taken place
where the body was found yet there are marks
of scuffle at the nearest sidewalk. The girl
had lover, but no suspieiop attaches
to him.
CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-There is no clew yet to
the identity of the perpetrator of the horrible
murder of Amelia Olsen. The county physi-
clan cannot state positively that the girl was
outraged, and the police do not believe she
was. A large force of detectives is working
on the case. and it is hoped that their efforts
will not prove fruitless,

ana always sells for good price. 1t is also
in demand for consumptives. Very fre-
quently people who have been pronounced IN
curables go to the establishment and beg the
people there to sell them some of the oil OBJ
tanned from the dog fat. Occasionally per-
sons will bring dogs which they have killed
themselves and have the oil manufactured
from them.
Some of the rendering establishments along
the river do an enormous business, receiving
their supplies not only from the city but from
abroad by the car load. Some of them use
the intestines and refuse matter from the
slaughter house and abattoirs.

The Irish Franchise.

LONDON, JAM 1S.-The English surrender
to the Irish claim for the extension of the
franchise is completed by the advocacy of
The Wing Edinburg Review and The Tory
Quarterly Review. The first declares that
Ireland must be included l, because otherwise
the bill could not pass; and the second says
that a refusal of the same reform
to Ireland as to England is no longer de-
feasible. 1t seems certain, however, that
the Tories will bitterly oppose the bill while
it is passing through the house of commons
and that the lords will reject it. Earl
Spencer's complete submission to the Orange
landlords has much damaged him, and he is
denounced by the English Radical organs.

Erance and China.

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-A leading member of
the Chinese legation at London has been in
terviewed. He stated that China had not
declared war against France, although her
memorandum to Premier Ferry, declaring
an assault on Sontay, Hung Hoa, or BAG
Mini to be casus belli, would be carried
out to the letter. When Sontay was cap
tured, the Marquis Tseng withdrew from
France to England to await instructions from
the Chinese government. These instructions
Tseng has since received, but their
tenor could not be divulged. The
attack upon Sontay was in vio-
lation of the friendly re, ions between the
two countries, but Tseng would not therefore
have made formal declaration of war
against France France attacked both Hue
and Sontay without declaring war
against China, and now. threatened to
attack BAG Mini, where there were large
bodies of Chinese troops, which would meet
the French forces and protect BAG Mini with
all their power The attache most positively
declared that China would never entertain
the proposal to evacuat BAG Mini as basis
of negotiations for the settlement of the Ton
ullin question,

possible by the last dispatches to hold out a
