duced by compression to from eighteen
to twenty inches, this is an actual loss to
beauty of form as well as detrimental to
the health. Doubtless there are some
foolish girls and women in America who
crowd their breathing apparatus into
smaller space than nature intended, but
the average size of the American waist
being less. there is perhaps less tempta-
ton to reduce it, and the general appear
ance in any large American city shows
that the natural standard is more nearly
preserved than in London at the present
time. On the other hand, we sin more in
the matter ofbustles and tournures. Such

tension of the dress is confined to ruf1es
and two or three steels at the back, or to
a pair of steels and a pad or small ''mat-
tress" fastened on the tailor-made
(cloth) gowns to the skirt itself. Women
offashion have quite discontinued the
use of the removable excrescence called
the hustle, nor could one be worn with

much used and which SO perfectly out

d1ced 432, while the revenue has been
increased over $4,000. 1t was also
ascertained that much of the public
sentiment which originally opposed
the bill now approves the measure as
the best practical one to be had. Pro-
hibitiouists would do we'll to consider
these facts. The conviction is fast being
fixed in the minds of the people that
high license is the best and only consti-
tutional remedy for the evils that are in
cident to the liquor traffic. If these can
be regulated and most confined by high
license, without serious decrease of the
public revenue, as Wisconsin is trying to
prove, extremists on the subject will
have little further hearing. And it
would be wiser for both dealers and anti
dealers to work together for the common
good The obvious purpose of the Wis
consin lawmakers is to prove the bene-
fits Of the present enactment, then to iu-
crease the minimum license fee. By this
means the tipping houses will eventually
be frozen out and the business placed
upon such a basis that only responsible
dealers will carry it on. The above
letter from Secretary Bayard is
3 tribute to his craftsmanship.
Five years ago, when there was no ex-
element on the temperance question, he
urged personal influence and example
and a well regulated system Of licenses
as the most efficient methods for lessen
ing the evils of intemperance, and the
Democratic party has seen the wisdom
of his prophetic words, aud has adopted
his policy.

Costly Cows Killed by Tests

Baltimore American: The newspaper
reports on the death of the valuable COW,
Princess II, belonging to Mrs. Shoema-
ker, stated to be from lung trouble,
brought several gentlemen breeders and
others interested in the valuable live
stock of the State to consult DR.. Ward,
the State Veterinarian, as to the nature
of the disease, as it was reported to be
pleuro-pneumonia, and that several other
COWS in the herd were coughing. There
fore, Saturday afternoon, DIR. Ward paid
an official visit to the park to ascertain
the true state of affairs. He found the
entire herd, with the exception of the
two bulls and one COW, out at pasture.
and in apparent good health. The bulls
looked splendid. The COW in one of the
stables was suffering from garget and
enlarged knee joints-a chronic case.
The dairyman, an intelligent man, gave
the doctor full particulars of
the cows death, which was from
effects of overtaxation of the system dur
ing the late butter tests, or, in other
words, as the doctor puts it, from making
the COW into an extraordinary milking
machine and then trying to retur her to
the ordinary dairy COW. Value ii, the
otnSi hotou w" 40 butISi mahinS
creature, died three weeks ago from the
same cause or causes. At one time she
was owned jointly by Messrs. Watts and
Seth. but recently came to be owned by
Mr.. G. w. Watts, who purchased Mr..
Seth's interest in her. DR.. Ward says
sucn severe tests must at all times un-
dermine the constitution of the most ro-
bust animals, and the two splendid
creatures were of that class. He %antici-
pated the end. and therefore is by no
1t out so long.

A TEXAS HORROR.
The Most Horrible Series Of Crimes,
with One Exception, Ever Com
mitted in the State.
Four Men and Four Women Murdered
by a Man Driven to Insanity
by the
Charge of Seducing His Daughter
Twenty Children Left Orphans
Suicide of the Murderer.

AUSTIN, TEX, August 26.-The de-
tails of a terrible series of murders COM
mitted at johnson City, an interior town,
on Monday, are furnished by a citizen OF
that place just arrived here. 1t appe 'rs
that the daughter of Al Locke, an old
resident, was recently discovered to be
in a delicate condition, and it is alleged
that Lockie's relatives attributed to him
the crime of seducing her. The matter
preyed upon his mind, and Monday after
noon he left home, intending, as he
avowed, to go to John Green's place to
borrow a sum of money. Green and fam
lily were away. He entered the house
and took Green's Winchester and re-
turned to the residence of his brother,
Berry Locke. He then shot and killed
Berry and his (Berry's) wife. A neigh
Der named John Nicholson rode up just
then. He forced Nicholson to go with
him to Mr.. Stokes's. He then
SHOT AND KILLED MR.. STOKES.
Then Nicholson was lost sight of. His
horse was tied there when fougd, and it
is supposed he was also killed. From
there Locke went to his own house and
shot and cut the throat of Mrs. Henry
Locke of Slano county, wife of his step
son, who was on a visit to him. He also
shot and killed there Mrs. Stokes, wife of
the Stokes he had killed just previous to
the killing of Mrs. Henry Locke. He
then killed his daughter. He tden at
tempted to kill his wife, but his car
tridges being exhausted he could not fire
another shot, and she escaped. Having
failed to catch and kill his wife, he cut
his own throat, mounted his horse and
started in the direction of johnson City.
After riding a few yards he met Thomas
Brunswick, whom he attacked and into
whom he

inficting fatal wounds. The murderer
then rode toward johnson City, but was
arrested within W miles of it. He was
still alive at last accounts. With the ex-
c%eptioD, perhaps, of the murder and Gre

stead some years AGO. this is the most
horrible set of crimes ever committed in
this State. By it about twenty children

In the SOutherR Presbyterian ReUteeO
for July, 1885, appears an article en-
titled, in the table of contents, The
Perkins Professors Case Viewed in the
Light of Law and Equity by Rev. DIR.
Eugene Daniel, Memphis, Tenn"
Twenty-Five years ago the Perkins
Professorship of Natural Science in
connection with Revelation" was found
ed in the theological seminary of the
Presbyterian Church at Columbia, S. c.,
and got its name from Judge Perkins,
by whose donation it was endowed. Prof.
James Woodrow was elected to fill this
chair. For twenty years he has been
discussing before his students the char
acter and claims of Evolution" in con-
n%ection with revelation. In 1884, for
the first time it seems, his view upon
this subject was criticised. DR.. Daniel
shows in this article the extent of the
criticism, and how DR.. Woodrow has
been condemned by ministers of the
church, publicly and privately, by church
papers and by presbyteries, synods and
by the General Assembly. DIR. Daniel
shows, too, that DR.. Woodrow has been
thus condemned unheard. He does not
at all discuss the merits of the case.
His proposition is thus clearly stated
PROF. Woodrow's reputation for sound
ness in the faith has been
publicly assailed and seriously damaged
his accusers have assumed no legal re-
sponsibility for their action, nor, as yet.
has the church taken the necessary steps
toward either his vindication or his CON
v%iction. DR.. Daniels article is a very
clear and very able exposition of the
facts sustaining this proposition. We
are all lovers Ct fair play, and %recoil, in
stinctively from proceedings that dam
age reputation or property without due
process of law" This controversy has
made much stir in the Southern Presby-
terrain Church, and, in various forms, has
attracted the attention of the general
public. 1t seems to involve question,
made vital by modern thought, and, in
the mouth of Dr.. Woodrow's accusers,
has presented the case of the abandon
ment, by an eminent scholar and divine,
of essential Bible truth, at the bidding,
or under the stress, of scientific discoy-
cry. Surely it behooves the church to
look carefully into such a matter. The
enemies of her Book and her
should not be allowed to claim such IA
triumph if the claim be false, nor on the
other hand, should she shun to declare
the detection even of so great a man, if
detection there be. We commend DR..
Dlniel's earnest words for the informa-
ton they give as to the controversy, and
for their advocacy of even-handed Justice.

A TRAPPED.

GRANVILLE, VT, August 2G.-Ira
Sinnell, with several other young men,
has been spending the past week in the

he went to visit a distant bear trap to
which only weekly visits were paid, and,
although he did not return when expect

Late Monday afternoon a farmer hap

PLENGED a KNIFE.
HUGE COUN TERRIFYING SCHEME.
Thousands of Bogus BraziiiaY Ronds
Captured at st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, August 26.-It has just
TRANSFERRED that a man named Luclen
White was arrested here a week ago last
Monday, charged with being concerned
in a gigantic scheme to counterfeit Bra
lillian bank notes. White was arrested
at the Hotel Mosher, w':ere he had been
stopping for some time, and the detec-
tives engaged in ferreting out the case
have discovered partly finished notes
amounting in the aggregate to 100000.
The captured ''cony" is chiefly in notes
of the denomination of 200 millreis, but
they consist only of the fronts of the
notes and are not sigued. The backs,
however, have been discovered in New
Orleans; thus the scheme has been foiled.
Other arrests are expected to be made
both here and in New Orleans, when
the names of the Brazilian members of
the gang will be secured. None of the
details of the case can be obtained, but
Detective Tyrrell, who is working the
matter up, says it is the largest case that
he has ever been engaged in. 1t is said
that one or more of the gang are now on
their way to Brazil, and that the au-
thorities of that country have been cabled
to that effect, and the mob will be arrested
on their arrival. The printing of the
fronts of the notes was done here by Au-
gust Cast & Co., who were told that they
were intended for cigar-box labels, but
the suspicious of Cast & Co. being
aroused while the work was in progress,
they informed the United States author
tiles here, aud detectives were imme-
diately set to work on the case. Lucien
White, The man arrested here. says his
former home was in Whitney, Tex, but
that he lived in Brazil a number of
years; that he returned to Texas six
months ago, and shortly afterward was
approached by a man named Lane, who
preached the scheme to him under the
guise of cigar labels, and he went into
it. He then went tc New York to have
the printing done, but failing in this, he
went to Chicago, where he again failed.
He then came here, with the above re
suit. He is an intelligent, we'll educated
man. and the detectives think Lane is a
myth, and that White is the chief mover

TEE SPECIAL DELIVER SERVICE.

THE SPECIAL DELIVERY
1t was the prevailing opinion that the
new special delivery mail service would
greatly interfere with the express com
panies in the delivery of small packages.
but a special dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun says that a prominent official of the
PostOfice Department was asked IF
ten cents and the postage added would
insure the delivery, under the special
stamp act, of such packages as the ex-
press companies now carry ! and also,
''cau merchandise be sent through the
mail, with the special stamp attached as
cheaply as by express?' The official re-
piled that the third, fourth, fifth and
sixth sections of the act making appro-
priations for the postal service for the
current fiscal year, which provide for
the special delivery of stamps, relate only
to letters, and the intent of the law Is
only to provide for the special or imme-
date delivery of rst-class matter. Per
sons may put up merchandise, not to ex-
coed four pounds, as irst-class matter,
and it would undoubtedly be specially
delivered, but it would probably cost the
sender more to send it by mail than by
express, especially if the distance is
short. Third and fourth-class matter
can be sent long distances more cheaply
by mail than by express, because the
mail rates are the same all over the
United States, while the express rates
are regulated by the distance to be tray
eled. 1t is said that even now large
quantities of newspapers can be sent
from New York to Washington cheaper
by express than by the reduced newspa-

THE SCIENTISTS.
Thfrty-Eourth Annual Session of the
American Association.

ANN ARBoR, MICH, August 90
The thlrty-fourth annual meeting of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science was called to order at 10
o'clock this morning by President Prof.
j. P. Leslie, of Philadelphia. The Rev. ii.
Haskell, of Ann Arbor, opened the ex-
~ercises with prayer, following which Pres
ident Leslie resigned his office to Presi-
dent-elect Newton of New Haven, Conn.
Gov. r. A. Alger welcomed the associa-
ton to the State Of Michigan very brief
ly and appropriately. The welcome on
behalf OF the local committee was ex-
pressed by Hon. S. NJ. Cooley. He
spoke strongly in favor of better scien-
tifc education for the masses. the need
of which is most apparent in the
cholera infected districts in Spain,
as well as in the Canadian cpl
demic of smallpox. He believed in
the axiom of law aud science for the ex-
termination of these diseases, law compel
ling the masses to observe some scientific
common ser Sc in their manner of living.
What people want In most cases, how
ever, is less law aud and more science.
He believes science should prepare the
way for better laws. President James
B. Angel of the Michigan University
Inen WelcOHeu tue dSSOclaIlOn on DeHalI OF
the university, whose object, he stated,
was the same as hat of the scientists
here assembled, investigating nature and
teaching what has been learned. He be-
lieves teachers should be allowed time
for ORIGINAL Investigation, which is fos-
tered especially by this association.
Mayor John Kapp welcomed the mem
bers for the city. President Newton re-
sponded to the welcome addresses,
giving some idea of the work of the asso-
citation and reviewing the work of the
different sections. Business announce
meuts we're then made ard notice given
of some changes in the constitution OF
the association.
The permanent secretary announced
the death of egeral members of the as

recommending their election.
An amendment allowing the Standing
Committee complete authority in the
