A Sensation at st. Paul.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Feb. 2.-The morning papers
make quite a sensation over the death l. of Mrs. G..
Alwynde Smith, which occurred yesterday morn
ing. Mr.. Smith is a highly connected young
En~glishman, and three months ago married Miss
Matte Maud Hinkle. of Kansas City. Miss Hin
kle was a prominent society young lady Of that
city, aged nineteen.
Yesterday the newspapers received letters
stating that Mrs. Smith died from the effects of
an abortion. Coroner Quinn states that Mrs.
Smith admitted to him that she used instru-
me9ts to produce a miscarriage, but stoutly de-
MED that her husband had any knowledge of her
action. The peculiar part of the affair is that
the coroner certified that she died of heart fail
ure."
Mr.. Smith is a cousin of Lord Darlington, and
a nephew of the Smiths who are the principal
owners of the London street tramways He has
made large investments here, and intended to re-
side in this city. The body of Mrs. Smith was
shipped to Kansas City, but Coroner Quinn mott
fed the coroner of Kansas City not to permit
burial until an investigation is made here.

The Kentucky senatorshin.

FRANKFORT, Feb. 2.-The condition of the
senatorial contest is not a bit improved By the
retirement of Mr.. Sweeney. TIL appearance of
Carlisle IN the race only has a tendency to rem
der it more complicated and involve the result in
still greater doubt. If Carlisle were out of the
way a settlement could be reached in a very
short time, but it was the very likelihood that
Blackburn would win that induced the Williams
men toforce Carlisle upon the caucus. 1t rests
with Carlisle himself to determine whether his
friends support him under these circumstances
or not. He can settle it easily enough if he will
by a telegram to the chairman of the convention
or to any of his friends who are now supporting
Blackburn. He understands the situation. and
can have no excuse for not taking prompt and
unmistakable action. If a ballot is taken with
Blackburn, Williams, and Carlisle on the track,
and the resolution to drop the hindmost man
is adopted, it can not possibly result in Mr..
Carlisles election. If Blackburn is droppedhis
friends will go to Williams. If Williams is
dropped the race must come squarely between
Carlisle and Blackburn. Carlisle has declared
that in no event will he be q candidate against
Blackburn. The Williams men are looking to
the possibility of having Blackburn dropped
and fight against Carlisle as their only hope.
The feeling in the State is decidedly with Black
burn.

ROUHER.
Death of the WeI-KnOwn French States
man and Politician.

Death of the WeH-IxnOwn French States
man and Politician.
PARIS, Feb. 3.-Eugene Rouher died at 9
o'clock this morning. He was unconscious for
several hours before the end. Prince Napoleon
had previously visited him. Ex-Empress Eu-
genie telegraphed coincidence to his widow.
Rouher lay in a critical condition for three
days prior to his death. Six months ago he was
with dementia. Primo Napoleon saw him on
Saturday night in an unconscious state, IN which
condition he remained until death.
Tn private papers and memoirs of Rouher
had been confided to his wife, who sent them to
eX-Empress Eugene when Rouher showed symp-
toms Of brain disease. Rouhers secretary lost
some important documents, and it is supposed
they passed into possession of the government,
which is waiting for a fit time to publish them.
Eugene Rouher was born in Kiom, Nov. 30,
1914. He became an advocate, and was elected,
in l84S, to the Constituent, and, in 1849, to the
Legislative Assembly. He was Minister of JUS
tice under Louis Napoleon, as President, from
Oct. 81 of the same year to January, 1851,
again from April to October, and from Dec. ?
till the confiscation of the Orleans estates-Jan.
p, 1S52-which he assigned as a motive for his
resignation; but a few days afterward he re-
turned to Office as Vice-president Of the Council
of State. In February, 1855, he became Minis
ter of Agriculture, Commerce and Public Works;
in June, 1856, he was made a senator; and he
was President of the Council of State from
Oct. IS, 1863, till Jan. 10, 1867, when
he resigned in consequence of the EN-
peror's announcement of a more liberal policy:
but he was at once reinstated as the head of the
Cabinet, with the additional portfolio of the
finances, and remained in Office till July 13,
1869, a few days after which date he was ap-
pointed President of the Senate. He was ident-
flied with all the foreign and internal affairs
which proved fatal to the second empire, and
after its downfall he fed. When he ventured
to return to France he was placed under arrest
for a short time; yet he was elected to the As
sembly in February, 1872, since which time he
has been again a prominent figure in French
politics. He maintained his allegiance to the
Bonaparte family, but declined to lend his in
f1uence to further the ambition of Plon-Plon, in
sisting that Prince Victor should be recognized
as the head of the family.

A GREAT RADICAL AT REST.
Death of Wendell Phillips, the Famous
Orator and Political AgitatOr.
A Sketch of His Life and Extracts from Some
Of His Notable Speeches-Incidents
and Anecdotes of His Career.
PHILLIPS.
Last Hours of the Widely-Known Orator
and Agitation.

and Agitator.
Boston, Feb. 2.-Wendell Phillips is dead.
Mr.. Phillips began to show signs of dissolution
at 4:30 his Afternoon. and died at 6. He was
conscious up to within an hour of his death.
Mr.. Phillips was i'll just one week, but not until
Thursday was his condition considered danger
Gus by his physicians. Thursday night he failed
rapidly, but on Friday rallied signify, ana
passed a fairly comfortable night. This after
noon his illness took a critical turn, and he
gradually failed and passed quietly away at
about 6 o'clock, in the presence of his wife and
niece. Arrangements for the funeral are not
yet completed, and it will probably not be held
for several days.
Wendell Phillips was born in Boston. Mass,
Nov. 20, 1911. His father was John Phillips,
the first mayor of Boston. Wendell graduated
at Harvard College in 1881, at the law school in
1888, and was admitted to the bar in 1884. In
1885 he became a Garrison Abolitionist, and in
1886 relinquished law practice from unwilling
ness to observe the oath of feality to the federal
Constitution. His first notable speech was made
in Faneuil Hall in December, 1887, in a meeting
called to consider the murder of Rev. Elijah P.
Lovejey, at Alton, III. From that time until
1861 he was a prominent leader and the most
popular orator of the Abolitionists. He advo-
Gated disunion as the only road to abolition until
the opening of the civil war, after which he sus-
tanned the government for a similar reason. In
1864 he advocated arming, educating, and enfran-
chising the freedmen, and for the two latter
purposes procured the continuance of the
Anti-slavery society till after the adoption of the
Fifteenth amendment in 1869. In 1870 he was
the temperance and labor candidate for Cover
nor of Massachusetts,, receiving nearly 10000
votes. At a meeting in Faneuil Hall, called in
1875, to denounce the Louisiana policy of Gen
eral Grant, Mr.. Phillips made a powerful speech
in favor of that policy. He long advocated
woman suffrage, prohibitory liquor laws, and
prison reform, and opposed capital punishment.
His financial views were set forth in a speech
delivered in Boston in 1875. In 1877 Mr.. Phil
lips violently denounced Mr.. Hayess Southern
policy, and the formation of his Cabinet, and
alluded to Attorney general Devens as 'the
blood spot" on the administration He has de-
Hvered numerous popular lectures in most of the
Northern States. the most notable being those
on ''The Lost Arts" ''Toussaint rOuverture, "
and funeral elogies on Theodore Parker and
John Brown. There is nc complete edition of
his speeches. Several of them have been pub
iished in %phamplets and widely circulated both
in the United States and in England. A partial
collection has been published in Boston. His
other writings are scattered through numerous
periodicals and newspapers.

Sixty Years in a Penitentiarv.

New YORK, Feb. "A white haired colored
man tottered to the bar of Justice Walsh's court,
in Brooklyn, to-day, rubbing his wasted hands,
and showing other evidences of high glee. The
charge against him was for stealing an over
coat, and the clerk took his name as George
Thompson, aged eighty-four years. There was
a mutual recognition between the prisoner and
the Justice, and when the Justice started in
with "a lecture on the offense, the old prisoner
grinned broadly and said this was the happiest
hour since he left Sing Sing the last time, and
Thompson claims to have been the first prisoner
sent to Sing Sing, and for various offenses,
usually burglary, he has spent altogether sixty
years of his life there. He goes back now for
six months.

The Free Pass system.

!. a correspondent of the Ratll7ay Age
'oIacE On Vradneso contrast
calls attention 10 the striking E
between the free pass system in Great
Britain and the United States. In Great
Britain very few free passes are issued
and comparatively few people think they
are entitled to them. Members of Parlia-
ment Y ask for them, and are never
furnished with them. No class of public
officials get them. Even large shippers
of freight are not provided with them.
They are supposed to get the value Of
their money in the transportation of their
freight. Railway officials, those occupy
ing high positions, interchange courte-
sizes in the way of free passes, but only
half fare tickets are granted to their
wives. Even stockholders are furnished
free passes only once a year to attend
their annual meetings. In this country
free passes are the rule rather thai the
exception. About everybody who has
been honored with a public Office thinks
that he has a right TO a free pass, n
railway companies feel that for the pro-
lection of their interests they u give
free transportation to members OF Con-
gress and State legislatures. The num-
Der Of those having no shadow of claim on
railroads who ask for free passes is re-
markably large
OF course the legislator or the Judge
who receives favOrs from railroads can
not act with the same freedom in matters
relating to corporations from which he
has received favors as he could if he were
under no obligation to them. He may be
honest and mean to do his whole duty,
but. uncOnsciOusly almost, ne VIII be H.
fuenced by the free pass.
The system is a drain on the resources
of the railroad companies and injurious
to public interests. The free pass Is not
exactly a bride, but it has much the same
effect as a bride. A legislator who traV-
els about the country free Of expense is
much more likely TO look out for the in
terests of the railroad companies than
a legislator who pays his expenses.
This the railroad companies know, and
they are very free, therefore, in faVorlng
those who can aid them. 1t would be in
teresting to know how many members OF
Congress there are who not only accept
free passes but actually demand them.
Many of them not only travel at the ex-
pense Of the railroads, but they do all
their ~telegraphing free Of charge.
No doubt the great majority Of people
are satisfied that the free-pass system is
bad and would like TO see it abolished, or
at least so restricted that it would be de-
prived of many of its wOrstfeatures. How
to reform the system, however, and con-
fine it to healthy limits, is one of the ques-
tons the railroads have not yet under
taken TO solve.

The BROOKLYN IN. " Republicans
are very sore over the defeat of Mr..
Blaine. They propose to make examples
Of those members Of their political clu0s
who worked and voted for Mr.. Cleveland.
They have already held meetings and noti-
fed the offending members that charges
have been made against them. Having
failed to elect their candidate they propose
to make the boiling Republicans feel the
weight Of their vengeance as far as they
are able.
OF course, if they dismiss the boilers
from their clubs the boilers will Join the
Democratic party. That party is ready
to receive them. They are good citizens,
and many of them are men Of influence.
