Something About Machine that Promises

| To such perfection has the machine been
brought that even the most detailed and intricate
statements, containing column after column of
figures. can be readily made with it, aud in neat

SONGS FOR THE STAGE.
How They Are Turned Out for Those Who

Philadelphia Record.

country engaged in it. There is demand for
the work. however, and [ get fifty or sixty let
tiers week asking my terms for writing songs

the stage Most of such requests come from the
West and Ohio, Indiana and Illinois seem es-
pecially prolific in badspellng variety actors

all the sixty may get five or six ORDERS mostly
for topical or Irish songs. For the Kernels l

han, that promises to take very WELL and have
now an order from Annie Pixley for lullaby in
her new play, Ely Paddy Keileys Band

How long does it take to write such song2

THE MURDER OF KAN.
Mcclure Held at Chattanooga on the Charge
of Having Committed the Crime.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Pat Mcclure, an account of whose arrest, near
Couterville, Tenn, last week, on the
charge of having murdered Michael Kahn,
at Rochester, Ind, was given in Sunday
columns, was brought to Chattanooga on
Monday by Sheriff Wallace of Indiana,
accompanied by Messrs. George Thomas and j.
NJ. Martin who had accomplished the arrest
Although he has waived the right of reouisition,
Mcclure will be held at Chattanooga until the
requsition papers can be obtained and the In
diana detective pays over the reward of $500
offered for his capture.
In an interview Sheriff Wallace said: IT do
not think there can be any doubt as TO Mcclure
being the murderer of Kahn, do | think
there will be any difficulty in convicting him,
though shrewd lawyer may be able to have
the punishment lightened by showing ex-
tenuatng circumstances; yet these are
not altogether of a nature to justify such a
course. Had Mcclure killed Kahn eighteen
months before, when Kahn insulted his wife by
proposals of an indecent nature. it would have
been hard to impanel jury that would have
lowed the time to pass [ know there was
great provocatlon. Kahn would kill AIcGure's
stock and seek every opportunity to do
him private injuries He was continually law
ing him under some pretext and finally ruined
him financially; when he had nothing to pay his
debts KaiH>had them arrested and fined $50 each
on some trivial preteXt Mcclure eluded the
officers, but his wife was thrown into prison be-
cause she could not pay her fine"
Mr.. j. NJ Martin, leading citizen of Coulter
vile. accompanied the party to the city, and
threw considerable light upon the alleged drown
ing of Captain Mcclure. He says the news Of
the drowning first reached Coultervile through
man who gave his name as Mcconnell. He was
crying, and carried wet clothes in his
hands; also McGuire's watch and valuables.
He made the statement that Mcclure had res
cued man named Shannon, of Dayton, and
was drowned while trying to rescue the colored
boatman. Mcconnell left to 60 to the Gin
cinnati Southern bridge at Boyce, saying
he would hunt up stream, but he was
never seen again. Mr.. Martin says there is a
striking resem blance between Mcconnell and the
prisoner, and he believes Mcdonnell to be no
other than Mcclure himself This conclusion
is sustained by the fact that Shannon
says Mcclure never rescued him, and
he knows nothing of the reported drown
ing. Mr. Martin believes that Mcclure intended
to have the report of his drowning circulated and
at the proper time to establish that it was PSA
and thereby throw the detectives off his broth
ers track by the latter's reported. death.

Oh the Late ACTOR MCCULLOUGH and q Very

Cleveland Leader
When he was here several years ago he told a
funny little incident which had occurred
during his acting at Richmond, just before he
came here. The story has been published, bat
it is forgotten now. 1.-The Lady of Lyons was

a fire and fervor into her love scenes
which both amused and excited the audience
AT times she fell from the sublime to the ridicl-

of Mccullough was describing his palace on the
lake of Como, repeating those tendereSt words
of Bulwer, the maidens bosom was seen to
heave, her eyes to fill with IRE, and when he
closed with the tender sentence, "Prithee, love,
dost like the pcture?" she threw herself into Nc
Cullough's arms, crying out in tones of superla
tive affection: "Oh-h-h-h, Claude" lingering
like balloon, and hung, as Mccullough said,
like porous plaster to his form.
AT this moment a disguised newsboy in the
gallery, in the same tones in which she had ut

BRUISER SULLIVAN.
An Offer of 100000 for His Pugilistic Serv
ices for the Period of One Year
writing.
Boston Special.

Boston Special.
The engagement of the champion pugilist,
John L. Sullivan. with the Lester & Allen min
strels will close in few weeks. Although the
minstrel people desire to retain his services for
several months longer it is said that Sullivan
has positively refused to sign another contract
which will bind him to the minstrel party any
longer. Sullivan has been earning $500 per
week with the minstrels and out of this
sum he has saved considerable money,
which he has never been known to have done
heretofore. He has purchased handsome
home for his mother and father out
of this sum, and from the reports
received from him from time to
time it would appear as though he
has led pretty steady life. He is in much
better condition physically than when he joined
the MINISTRIES, although he has grown much
stoutcr. His plans after leaving Lester 81
Allen, are not perfected, but one point is
certain, he will not soon again pose as
statue, but will confne his efforts to training
Paddy Ryan, Dominick McCaffrey and other
noted pugilsts who have thirsted for his
scalp in Interviews during the past few
months He has received al offer from one of
the best known sporting men in this country
to travel under his management FOR one year
During this time Sullivan Is to fulfill all engage
mentS made for him for contests with the gloves
with any of the American or English pugilists
for either four six, eight or ten rounds, to a
finish if necessary. Sullivan is to receive
$780, 900 and travelling expenses for himself and
He has this offer under consideration, and his
friends are pressing him to accept. An inti
mate friend of the champion said last evening"
II have heard of the offer, and it is my i'm
preston that Sullivan will accept. On the face
of it 100000 seems a large sum for
one year, but l think that John
is worth this sum to any enterprising manager
in this country, especially in view of the fact
that he has perfect right to arrange glove con-
tests for him during the year. He could make a
tour of the United States, and then visit Eng
land, where he would surely prove to be a great
drawing card.
John wishes very much to arrange meetings
with either Ryan or Mccartney, and these would
earn at least $l5, 900 for his manager to start off
with. John is dead-sore on Ryan, whom he
characterizes the great newspaper pugil-
list, and if they meet again you may
be certain that the man from Troy will
be whipped quicker than he was in
the memorable night at New Orleans / suppose
that Sullivan will give up his trip to Australia,
unless his manager desires that he should go
there" Mike Sullivan, the brother Of the cham
pion. had heard of the Offer but did not know
whether John would accept or not.

BY KNIFE AND BY FIRE.
How Thousands of Poor Zealots Have Per-
ished for Lack of Christ's True Light.

SI. JAMES daGeIte
According to statistics compiled by Mr.. Prou-
gavine, religious fanaticism has caused the
death of more than 10000 persons in Russia in
recent years Mr. Proucavine says that every
few years there appears in the governments of
Perm, Orenburg and other northern parts Of
Russia, fanatics who give themselves out as
prophets, endowed with the power of working
miracles, and even perform, or pretend to per-
form, such feats as holding burning Goals in
their hands. They preach the proximate coming
of Antichrist, and that the sole means of escap
ing the divine wrath is voluntary and immediate
death. Entire villages have been known TO ac-
cept this teaching. Men, women and children
huddle together in cave so fenced about from
all approach as to render escape impossible. The
functions of the prophet on these occasions is al
ways that of ianitor and he takes care to stand
upon the the outer side of the entrance. No pro-
visions are taken into the cave. The occupants
wait stolldly for death, their sufferings eased
it is to be supposed by the belief that their sui
eide WILL meet with an eternal reward. Some
times these people incose themselves within a
triple encelnte in the midst of wood The
door in the outer parallel is always locked and
the KEY thrown into the wood. 1t has once or
twice happened that community which had
thus locked itself in with death has been in
duced by the sufferings of the women and children
to ask the chance passerby to find the key and
liberate them. In these cases the prophet pru-
IDENTIFY disappeared Death by starvation is slow.
and leaves time for re pentance certain of these
prophets, therefore, preach salvation by fire.
The deluded peasants, together with the prophet
himself, assemble in cottage in and around
which faggots have been piled, the place is fired,
and all perish together. As a rule, however the
women and children seek to escape at the last
moment. This is known as the baptism by
fire." 1t preferable On the whole. perhaps, to
our own baptism of beastliness There is also
the baptism OF blood" or red death" and
those who commit suicide in this way are re
garded as martys, and their souls mount
straight to heaven.
