A New York letter in the Chicago
IiTbWRe says; 81 must not forget to tell
Chicago ladies of the latest caprice in the
way of pets. Of course you have gone
through the mania for dogs of various
kinds, from thepug TO the sheared French
poodle. the most ridiculous and clever pet
dog of them all, and doubtless YOU have
had your fling Mt tortoise shell cnts and
monkeys 1t remains for Mrs. Van
Rensselaer, Cruger, one of the leaders in
society and one of the most fashionable
women Of the elite, to set the gossips by
the ears by the adoption of II pet which
is iii plain English, nothing more nor
less than II tiny mud-turtle. This is an
actual fact, and, moreover, the turtle has
been christcncd "Nichette," and is
dressed every day in little silk frocks and
lnce tichus. Like Miss Marion Langdon
il affects pink and is usually attired in
c0S'Nr dc rose. The proper thing to do
nowadays. if one wishes TO ingratiate
ones self i'll Mrs. Cruger's favor, is tn
leave n card always for Nichette as well as
her mistress. Mrs. Cruger has further
more astonished society by appearing at
the opera once or twice with her newly
adopted plnything. Nichette also at
tended the Patriarcl's ball, and, / believe,
is to 90 out generally next season at
Newport.

The correspondent of the New York Mai
and Express says; The season at Newport
bids fair to he more brilliant even than that
Of last srnsOn. A number of cottages closed
last season will be occupied, notably those
Of Mrs. Paran Stevens, Mrs. John Jacob
AstUr, Mr.. Pierre Lorillard, Mr.. Theodore
lavomeyer, Admiral and Mrs. Baldwin and
each implies numerous guests and suitable
gaycties. There Is not rs much building
going on us in the past few years, but it il
important. The new house of Mr.. Theodore
Gibbs, OF which Mr. Dudley Newton is the
architect, is finished, and Mr.. Gibbs will
take possession this summer. It is on
Gibbs avenue, and has an uninter-
ruptcd view Of the bathing beach and
the point. This house Is of Rocky Farm
stone, which is bromide rod and full of
color with brick trimmings, the color being
contributed to by cOlored mortar. The in
terror has been decorated by Mr.. Lockwood
lie Forest, the hall being enriched with
Indian carving. There are several interest,"
ing features in the construction OF the
house. The plumbing is all exposed where
ever the pipes are introduced. The sense
OF satisfaction which this gives is not damp
ehed by the looks, since it is everywhere
colored In harmony with the surroundings.
Accompanying the plumbing in its devious
route is pipe from the furnace as an extra
safeguard against freezing. This pipe also
passes through radiators and L. cnrried
through the servants rooms until its
exhaust in the top Of tho house.

GALVESTON, June A special to the
NetoS from III Paso, says: The latest news
received here concerning the ruiding by
the Apaches comes from the neighbur-
hood Of Hillsboro, N. NJ. Fifteen armed
men under the leadership Of one Jackson
left Hillsboro Tuesday morning and,
before noon, had recovered % horses. They
continued on the trail which before night
became very fresh and the men concluded
to go into camp and send for reinforce
mcnts. Jackson accordingly sent swift
courier back TO Hillsboro and 100 men,
mostly territorial militia, left mt O'Clock
yesterday afternoon to assist Jacksons
band. The Indians are apparently driv.
ing large lot of captured stock before
them. Unless they abandon the stock
and take to flight, Jackson is certain to
overtake and attack them.

rHE CHINESE MuRpER.
The Four Cinnamon Who Helped
XIII johnson Arrested.

ST. LOUIS, June 5.-The Chinaman
arrested near Murpheysboro, H., for the
murder Of Lon johnson last Monday
turns out TO be Gong Seng, instead of
Chyo Pock as reported last night. He
was brought here to-dny, and when taken
before the coroner he gave all the details
of the murder admitting that he was one
of the four men who committed the
bloody deed. He said that about a month
ago it was decided to kill johnson be-
cause he was believed to be giving infor-
nation to the police which led to the
arrest of other Cinnamon for gam
bling and keeping gambling houses.
Gong Seng, Chyo Pock and
two other Chinese agreed to
his house for six days before they got the
chance. Gong Seng was assigned to watch
outside and to remove the traces of the
crime which he did. He did not see the
murder committed but plainly heard
Johnson's cries for help as he was being
| stabbed to death. He assisted Chyo Pock
to dispose of the body ina closet and then
the quartet scattered. Cong Seng says
that his share of the 5000 was TO be
300 but that Chyo Pock gave
him only SIS. Chyo Pock went
south, he thinks but he does
not know where the others went. The
money which was paid the murderers
was contributed by half dozen China
men who wanted johnson killed and who
were willing to pay 5000 more to have
Alex. Baptiste put out of the way. Bap
tiste is Chinese interpreter who CANT
here recently from New York and inter
preted the testimony at the inquest on tn,
body of johnson.
Chyo Pock was arrested in this city
last night and it is now believed that al
those concerned in the murder have beer
captured.

The PhiIosorlr or Entlnr.

Marian S. Devereux in Good House
keepiRg, says; In consideration of the
mighty evils of indigestion, the domestic
Jete mir of the age, the outgrowth of the
poor cooking or of unwise eating and the
difference these things make in tie
physical and moral tone, the mothers of
the land may well say, 1--WE care not much
who breaches sermons to our children,
provided we can give them good bread. I"
To warrant such claim, the mothers
must be wise enough to know that the
food which they give their families,
means one of two things, us they shall
elect by the manner of its choice and
preparation. Either joyous, buoyant
energy and sweetness of nature which is,
undoubtedly, the normal condition by
which the regenerate man was intended
to be recognized, and which is half the
secret of success and virtue; or peevish.
perverse and suffering habit of life which
sets us at cross purposes with all its more
satisfactory ends. There has been so
little thought given to this in times past,
that one of the problems of the present
is how to defeat the numberless physical
ills and feebleness that flesh has become
heir to in a long course of neglect of
eating as an exact science.

DENVER, COL, June IA special from
Longmont says: At noon yesterday the
Beaver Park reservoir in South Saint
Vrain canon burst, causing great damage
to the surrounding country. The torrent,
which is estimated to have reached n
hight of 100 feet, rushed down the canon
with terrific force, carrying away bridges,
houses, barns, and everything which
obstructed its path and flooding the
adjacent country. So far as learned,
no lives were lost. The damage to crops
and meadows along the lowlands is very
great. The reservoir, and immense affair

Duty IseTore Party.


A very impressive contribution to politi-
cal history was made by Mr. Bayard in his
address at the Missouri University on
Thursday. lie said that the election Of Mr..
Jefferson to the Presidency in 1900 WINS
accomplished through the influence and
advice Of Alexander Hamilton, his lifelong
antagonist. There had been no choice by
the people, and tho question went to the
house OF representatives, where the voting
was limited to the two highest candidates,
MIR. Jefferson and Aaron Burr. There were
10 states Mt the time, each voting ms unit,
ana each counting equally; and finally the
election turned upon the vote of Delaware.
which was held by Mr.. Bayard's grand
father, a Federalist. He sought the advice
OF Hamilton, who told him that between
Jefferson and Burr II was his duty to vote
for Jefferson; and thus the first Democratic
President was elected by Federalist vote,
inspired and counselled by the great Fed.
eralist leader.

The American colony in Paris.

The Paris correspondent of the New
York E0entng Post says The American
colony, which is the centre of much
small talk and scandal in Paris, and is itself
divided into little coteries, consists of
from 500 to l, 900 permanent residents. II
is made up chiefly of artists, students,
hangers-on at the Legation and Consulate,
and some people of elegant leisure, many
OF whom first came to Paris because of its
cheap living, which is now no longer one
of its recommendations. Among other
things it exploits M American newspaper,
m American Exchange, and four rival
Protestant churches. Besides the resi-
dent colony, ut some seasons there
are to be found in the city from 8, 900 to
lO,OOO of our countrymen. A few dnys
ago they made n iiasco in dedicating for
the rldicule Of the town dwarfed imita-
tiou of the Bartholdi statue. But last
night Americans did themselves more
honor in the farewell dinner to Mr.. Nor
ton, made doubly pleasant ms it was also
in some sort n reception for Mr.. McIane.
Republicans and Democrats united most
cordially in the entertainment, which was
presided over by Mr.. John Munroe. Mr..
Morton was lauded by Mr.. Edmund Kelly,
the principal speaker, for his unbounded
hospitality and for his efforts in behalf of
the American artist and the American
hog. M. Flouquet, president of the
chamber of deputies, calamity alluded
to 1.-THE charms of manner and of mind
which Mrs. Morton possesses, and which
blend so well with the courteous gravity
OF MIR. Morton's temper and habits"

Unprecedented storm in Kansas.

ATCHIsoN, KANSAS, June A terrific
storm of wind and rain swept over this
city yesterday, destroying public and pri-
vate property to the extent of about
800, 900. All the creeks oyerilowed their
banks, and culveris, bridges and cross
ings We're swept away or seriously dam
aged. The CUTTERS and sewers could
not carry oil all the water, and
the streets ON the lower levels
became rivers. Cellars were flooded, mills
stopped and business greatly interrupted.
The mayor and city engineer, after II
careful inspection oi public property, say
the damage will reach T5O,O0D on city
works alone, while almost every business
man complains of more or less damage by
water. The ram came down in perfect
deluge and the thunder and lightning
were worse than ever known before in
this vicinity.

The Finding Of the Chicago Catcher,

The following story is told upon always
There" SutclifTe the good-looling and elTuc-
tive young catcher of tho Chicago team :
Some time about the middle of last season
Arson, Williamson and lot of tho billiard
lists of the Chicago team were playing pyra-
mid pool in the Lake City when SutclifTe
appeared among them. He was then n tall
ungainly looking ad of bucolic appear
ance, and when he asked for ball ii was
given to him In about the same manner
that II three-card- player gives one
the tip and then tlceces the holder In this
case however, SutcliTe refused to lIe taken
in. lie beat the Chicagos at their own
game, and made such I'M impress
sion that all hands calculated :
you're quite n pool-player." YES"
the rural youth drawled in reply "but that
amt my game, all the samee." at amt"
said Arson; well, what is then ?" why,
base ball, /" said Sutcliife. Then he told the
boys what Il catcher he was, and Just to get
even they asked him over to the ball
grounds. Reaching there they sent him be-
hind the bat, and then ordered Goldsmith
and COrcOran to go in and kill him. They
wore their arms out trying, and, what was
worse, SutcliifG refused to wear n mask ,ahd
merely smiled when told that ny-tip
might hit him In the jaw and break It, or
knock out IN eye, or something else and
his whole demeanor was such that Arson
determined TO engage him instanter. He
asked Sutclilfe how much pay he wanted
and the litter replied that 81 IL day would
be about the right thing. Later his salary
was raised, and now, like plenty of other
professionals, he rates his services at a fancy
figure.

the nails and threads are removed and the

it is pressed upon II ground Of heavy paper.
