St. John shut Out.
Special to the Globe.

MILWAUKEE, June 29.-Ex-Gov. st.
John will speak in the Exposition building
a week from next Thursday. 1t was at
first expected that the meeting would be
held at the Grand Avenue Congregational
church. 1t was pointed out to the trustees
of the church that the Kansas apostle
would deal with prohibition more
from a moral than political
point of view and hence would be
entirely Objectionable. The trustees, how
ever, intimated that both were equally OBJ
iectonable, or words to that effect, and
room would have to be obtained elsewhere.
The fact that majority of the trustees are
Republicans is said to have had much to do
with the decision. Next weeks meeting
will be grand rally of all the prohibition
leaders of the state.

by heavy slugging on both sides,
the st. Joe Kid getting the most
punishment. In the sixth round the st.

Judge Tree Wants a Mission

SpeClaI 10 UnG GIODe.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-There was a
umor in circulation several days ago that
the Illinois members of congress together
with number of Southern politicians were
pushing Judge Lambert Tree for the Aus
trian mission. The story was denied at the
time, but it is stated positively to-day
to be 1rue. 1t is said that Judge
Tree was second on the list for the italian
mission and would have been selected but
for the fact that the administration was
anxious to compliment the German-Ameri-
cans by sending a representative of that
element abroad. The gentlemen who are
pushing Judge Tree are doing so in anticipa-
ton of Mr.. Keiley's recall. They claim to
have assurances that their candidate will
this time be successful.

Lynching the Desperadoes.


GAINESVILLE, Tex, June 29.-Ye Yesterday
the lynchings of five horse thieves were re-
ported in addition to recent report that
fifteen men had been hanged in two weeks.
Efforts to SubStantiate the last mentioned
report resulted in a positive proof of the
hanging a week ago Of Frank Morgan, Bill
Williams and boy named Moors. Bill
Williams, farmer living near Mud Creek,
was suspected and persons were detailed to
watch him. When it was learned that
Williams had unlawfully taken possession
of another mans horses, thirty-two deter
mined men visited his house and arrested
him. Williams babe his family an affec-
tiOnate farewell and told them that If he did
not return in two days they might think he
was dead. Williams was then led several
miles into some thick bushes, where they
met another party having in charge Frank
Morgan and the boy Moore. By unani-
nous vote the men decided to hang Williams
and Morgan. Some contended that by
reason of the boys youth it was best to
turn him loose with a moderate punish
ment. but it was finally decided, as there
were great probabilities of his becoming a
TROUBLESOME CRIMINAL
that it was better he shonld die. Accord
ingly all three were strung On one limb.
Some of the posse climbed up on the limb
and pressed down with their feet upon
the shoulders of the criminals in order that
they might die the quicker. After the men
were dead they were all cut down and
buried together. The posse then started ON
a man hunt up the Wachita river, and re-
ports come back that they captured and
lynched nine men, making total Of
twelve The latter report, however, lacks
confirmation, and the modes of communica-
ton are so uncertain that the facts are hard
to get. The noted detective, Jack Duncan,
at the head of squad of well-armed men,
has gone to the Indian territory in search Of
the outlaws, Jim and Hank Lee. He car
ries five well-trained bloodhounds with him
which he will use when the trail is struck.
is learned that the three other squads
are also in the field on the same errand.
The Lee boys have long been terrors to the
Delaware bend people. For the past few
months they have been loaing around that
section, stealing indiscriminately. They
have repeatedly announced that they would
never surrender and interesting news may
be expected from that quarter.

FORTY years ago the tax collector of
Manchester, N. H., was murdered, his
throat being cut from ear to ear. Two
or three years later suspicion attached
to Henry T. Wentworth and DIR. Jas.
H. Smith of Saco, Maine, and Asa
Wentworth of Manchester, and they
were tried for the murder and acquit-
ted. Again in 1850 they were put on
trial, and after an examination of II
days the Judge directed their dis
charge, as the evidence, purely cir
cumstantial, was by him deemed insult
ficient to warrant proceeding farther.
Notwithstanding the crime was un.
proven many have always believed in
their guilt. Under date of Nov. 5,
1886, Gen. Butler closes up the mys'
ery in letter in which he states that
the murder was committed by one
Pierson, who was client of Buffers and
was hanged for wife murder. but who
previous to his execution for thai
crime, confessed to Lis attorney thai

Apple Trees.


A. G. Hammond, secretary Of the ILL.,
inois Horticultural Society, has issued
report on the condition of fruit trees
in the state. He says Sc per cent. Of
the apple trees in northern Illinois are
dead or dying, and that Is per cent. OF
the pear trees and 54 per cent. Of the
cherry trees are in the same condition.
In central Illinois the following are the
percentages of dead and dying trees:
Apples, As; pears, 65; peach, 81; cherry,
40. In southern Illinois Is per cent. of
the apple trees, Is of the pear, 4S of the
peach, q of the cherry trees are dead
or dying.
The cause of the death of fruit trees
in the northern portion is attributed to
extreme cold, insects, neglect, ,pasturing
orchards, and lack of adoption Of the
trees to the soil and climate. The
cause of death in other parts of the
state is attributed to sudden changes of
temperature, want of draining and
blue grass sod. T..

sociabllity Among Chairs.

If could tell my readers all the good

keeping line should be As an oracle
unto them. have been greatly inter-
ested in an article on the "Science of
Chairs" in Good Housekeeping. 1t is
by Anna l.. Dawes. Speaking humor-
ously, I might say that the writer
pleads for more sociability among
chairs. Chairs in many houses are very
stiff and awkward in their behavior,
and the writer would remedy matters.
Here is paragraph from the entertain
ing article:
1.-THE parlor, which, in most families,
is the quiet corner in which guest
may spend an uninterrupted half hour
during social call, needs some easy
chairs, lest the wearicd visitor never
come again: but it needs still more.
light chairs-and more than one-that
can be easily moved about. Whether
the easy chairs are cane seat rockers or
plush divans, their position cannot
readily be changed, while the light
chair that can be taken in hand and
carried from one corner to the other,
will furnish the opportunity for socia-
bility two or three times in single call,
perhaps. 1t must be chair that can
be carried; it is not enough that it roll
on casters, for it is still clumsy and
heavy, and the efforts necessary to alter
it's position will often prevent the
change altogether. This is not all the
battle, however. The original arrange
ment of the furniture is like the dispO-
sition of troops. 1t il here that the host
ess shows her knowledge of human
nature and her experience of So
cietv. A clever woman, to whom tho
great world was a second nature, once
said on this point that she always OBJ
served how the chairs were left IN q
drawing-room where several people
had been sitting, and put them in the
same position next time. This is the
secret of success with chairs. Dispose
them so that persons who fall into
them shall sit down in the places most
natural and satisfactory. Arrange a
group of chairs near the door, where
the casual caller will drop into one and

near together, will yet be placed in the
best possible position for a little con-
versation. If it is large drawing

people, multiply these groups of seats,
not in ridiculous aesthetic situations,
with the sofas at right angles to the
room, but conveniently and naturally.

us repeat the refrain and learn its
lesson. Comfort, convenience and use
will determine their kind and their po-
sition, and will suggest their absence
when unnecessary. So satisfaction

For the Housekeepel

While the world goes round house.
keeping will be subject of the utmost
Importance. There is no season of the
year at which it can be dispensed with.
Somebody must bake, boil, stew and
broil to keep hungry humanity going.
There are in this country alone be-.
tween fifty and sixty million mouths to
be fed, and all prepared to growl and
some to howl st any delay on the part
of caterer and cook when the hour for
breakfast or lunch, dinner or supper is
at hand. Physical health, mental
peace and comfort, home happiness
and to great extent, useful lives are
dependent on the oven and the broiler,
the saucepan and the kettles of our
kitchens. or more strictly speaking,
the geniuses or the ignoramuses who
preside over them. The frying-pan
should, perhaps, be mentioned in this
category, for unfortunately it has en-
tirelY superseded the broiler in many
homes, and with the exception of the
teakettle, is the most conspicuous occu-
pant of the kitchen range.
Thus of reason of the effects on
mind and body produced by the vi
ands therein cooked, it may almost be
said that the cook sways the real
sceptre of power as she handles the
frying-pan. It is not poetic emblem
of power. Of course these remarks are
not Intended to recall certain belliger-
ent bridgets ofwhom some of us have
read and who made the frying-pan
weapon of offence in starting intruders
from the sacred precincts of their de-
partments. The aim in view is to inn
press upon all the greatness
of the interests that centre
at the kitchen range. Departments of
state are controlled in great measure
by the culinary department.. Can we
overestimate, then, the importance of
good cooking, seeing the happy results
that flow in its train, and on the con-
trary the sad results that spring from
lack of it? Much of the sadness, bad
ness and madness of humanity may be
attributed to bad cooking, Food poor
ly cooked makes the blood impure,
and thus leads to sickness of body.
Again, impure blood is not without
evil effect upon the propensities of hu-
man nature, while many brain has
given way from want of nourishmcnt
which well-prepared and well-digested
food would have afforded.
Broiled Mushrooms-Choose large,
fine ones. Peel and remove the stems;
place them bottom upwards on the
gridiron; till them with butter in which
you have kneaded chopped parsley;
salt and pepper moment before you
serve them.
Hazlenut Butter-Pound some ripe
hazlenuts with fresh butter. Mould it
into little forms and serve.

We sometimes hear 8 man boast of
never having known fear; but it is an
idle vaunt. It cannot be true; but if it
were, it would bespeak him less, not
more manly. One Of the bravest SOL
d,ers confessed to having felt tortures
of fear in his first battle; yet he after
wards swerved not an inch, and his
comrades thought him utterly fearless.
His courage kept him firm in the path
of duty despite his fears.
