It is expected that the local authorities throughout the empire will give hearty cooperation to the scheme, as its effect will be to keep down pauperism.
 Consistency is virtue. A committee of the New York legislature investigated the doings of Hubert o. Thompson, commission CT of public works for New York city, and reported that he had been guilty of serious misconduct. A bill was passed to pay Thompson's expenses for counsel fees before the committee, and Governor Cleveland ap- proved it. Another much smaller item in an appropriation bill provided for the pay ment of counsel employed by the committee in that investigation, and that Governor Cleveland vetoed, giving as his reason that 'sthe people of the State should not be called upon to pay the expenses of Investigating 3 local department in the city of New York. !" .s The London vegetarians gave dinner to about 120 ladies and gentlemen at the Health Exhibition the other day. The object of the dinner, which is one of a series, was to show how an ample and varied diet could be pro cured without the use of any sort of animal food. The menu included, among other dishes, 'sChestnutina de Lyon" soup, pea fritter, and fried onions, and barley pud- 1 ding. After the dinner Dr. Ridge delivered short address, in which he laid stress upon the fact that it had been abundantly proved that a vegetarian diet was not only possible but profitable, and expressed his conviction that the excessive use of condiments was the cause of large proportion of dyspeptic ill- nesses. It was also believed that yegeta- rians lived much longer than fesh-eating members of the community.
 It is apparently not much more pleasant to be candidate in France than in this country When Dr. Cattiaux was the other day addressing his constituents in one of the wards of Paris and making a most radical profession of faith, he was troubled by a man who kept shouting, That's all very we'll, but he does not know what polypus is" At last the audience, irritated at the interruption, insisted that the man should explain what he meant when it appeared that the doctor, having been called in to treat his child for swelling of the nose, had pronounced it polypus, and adapted his treatment to that diagnosis; but after a time it had turned out that the child had snuffed up button ''Now is that the way in which he will treat our fnancess We want man who can see little farther into a dark place than thatn

Death of 81. 81. Cordes.

The sad news OF the death of ii. II. Cor.
des, formerly a resident of Sedalis, was
received by his friends here yesterday. De-
deceased was brother of Mrs. George
Kshrs and Mrs. ID. Miller of this city. He
resided in Sedalia about four years, and
from here went to Denver, Colorado, where
his innate business capacity soon placed
him in the front rank of Denver popular and
successful business men. At the time of
his death he was but thirty-four years of
age, but had in the course of his brief
career, made business reputation of which
any man may be justly proud.
The Denver Tribune, in speaking of the
death of Mr.. Cordes, says that he was one
OF the most popular business men who ever
resided in Denver.
Commencing as poor boy, Mr.. Cordes,
by his natural ability and indomitable en-
ergy, acquired an enviable place in the
ranks of business men and rapidly arose
from comparative poverty to affiuance, and
hence, leaves the wife and two children,
who survive him, well provided for.

Case.
Two Hours in Making a Yer

Defendant.

Warrensburg, May 9.-tSpecial. The
examination of witnesses In the Lewis muir
der case was resumed this evening, in the
criminal court.
Thompson Rude, father of the deceased
was recalled, but nothing new was ELECTED
Mrs. Sarah Wade had known both the

peacable man.
John Palmer testified that Chesterfield
Rude had said to him, Lewis, the id
cuss, has poisoned my dog, and iii get even
with him" Witness had told no one but
Mr.. Houts, one of the crowd, of this con-
versation, and only then at the solicitation
of that gentleman.
The defendant, Richard Lewis, was then
placed on the stand and gave a resume OF
the case. He said that when he had struck
the blow that knocked Chester Rude down,
he struck the old man to the ground so as
to be ready for Chester should he come at
him again. He had not intended to kill
Rude, but made up his mind that if he
came toward him Lewis the second time
with the knife he would try to kill him.
His testimony was at times conflicting with
that given before the committing

evidence, and seemed to have
been taken very quietly by the jury. 1t
was evident to all that there was something
back of all this. which no one, with the
exception, perhaps, of himself and his
victim. knew. There was evidently
something hidden; and whether it will
ever be known, or whether, if known, ii
would have made any difference to the
Jury, time alone can tell. He admitted
having remarked to Witness Cecil that he
was getting his farm in readiness to leave
it; saying in answer to the question of his
reasons therefor, that he was going to the
penitentiary, but that it was very foolish
remark and meant nothing.
A number of witnesses were called by
the defense to establish the reputation of
of Lewis for honesty, pesceableness and
uprightness. Among these wss Rev. ]. II.
Houx, who had been his pastor for num-
Der of years at Mt. Zion church, In Lewis
neighborhood.
The introduction of paper purporting
to be transcript of the evidence of Rich
ard Lewis at the preliminary examination
was then offered, which caused quite q

the face of every man present. Mr.. Lee

worked perceptibly on the feelings
