How Gas Can BE Made for Nothing.

Ina recent instructive essay on Electric
Lighting" Mr.. Mattieu Williams, +. r. A.
S., incidentally alluding to the cost and the
price of Illuminating gas, says:
Il refer more particularly to the practical
and crucial question of economy. The by
products, the ammonial salts, the liquid hy-
uro-carbons and their derivatives have been
developed into so many useful forms by the
achievements of modern chemistry, that
these, with the coke, are of sufficient value
to cover the whole costs of the manufacture.
and leaves the gas itself as a volatile resld-
dun that cost nothing, and might be prof.
tiably delivered in the burners OF the gas
consumers (of far better quality than now
supplied in London) at 1 shilling per l,00O
cubic feet, if gas-making were conducted
on sound commercial principles-that Is, II
it were not corporate monopoly and were
subject to the wholesome stimulating IN
fluences of free competition and private en-
terprise." These views are not the Vapor-
ings of scientific crank-they are the
averment of facts accomplished, briefly
though plainly stated by a scientist, who
closely observes and properly weighs the
Importance of the very many improvements
recently developed in the field OF artlhcial
illumination. He has but noted an epoch
in the history of gas production next
will be, when it supplants allother kinds OF
fuel in large towns and cities.

who will spend the season on the reserva-
ton. Lieut.. Kingman of the engineers
corps is detailed to exercise supervision
over the improvements to be made. Their e

rection Of the government, but as
soon as Supt Wear is settled, he is

and bridges where, in his Judgment, it
is most needed. Secretary Lamar says that
it will be the policy to act literally i'll the

Scientific RobberY,

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June s.-The ex-
perts are still hard at work at the books of
the suspended Shackamaxon bank, trying to
evolve order out of the chaos. The deeper
they delve into the books, however, the
larger grows the deficit, until it seemed,
this afternoon, that it would reach far into
the hundred{ thousands. The auditing COM
mittee of the board of directors Of the bank
compared some Of the deposit books with
ledgers this afternoon, and found differ
ence of 81, 400 for one day-that is, 81, 400
was received in single day which was not
entered upon the books. this rate of
deficit continues, the loss viii be much
larger than the directors thought. The
statement was made this afternoon by
friend of Joseph COnklin, the highway con-
tractor who played an important part in the
failure of the bank, that the amount he
drew is much larger than the directors
thought. Eighty thousand dollars was the
extreme figure named, but it is stated the
amount is $40, 600. The bank has de-
cided to make an assignment tomorrow.

AFTER VsIG BEAR.
A Battle Due Yesterday--No News
From the Front.

Special to the Globe
WINNIPEG, June 2.-The wires west are
working in good condition tonight but
there is nothing new from the front, except
the movement of troops. Ii is the theory
here that if Big Bear did not shift his posi-
ton. he was encountered to-day by the
combined forces of Middleton and Strange,
but no news of the fight could be gotten
through tonight, as it would have to be
carried by courier from the scene Of action
to Battleford. The Battleford people feel
much anxiety in the result of the eXpedi-
ton, because all of the best. armed and
most daring of the hostiles are with Bear,
and have perpetrated so many atrocities
that they could hardly hope for such terms
of surrender as Poundmaller secured for
himself and his braves. They had treated
their prisoners well, and it is believed that
Bear has massacred the unfortunate women
and children who fell into his hands Bear
is willy as well as wicked Indian, and
he will prove the most formidable foe the
Canadian troops will have encountered on
| this expedition.

DIVORCES OF THE WORLD.

How and for What Reasons They
are Granted I'm Many Countries.
From the Leeds Mercury.
The following particulars as to the
methods of securing divorces in different
countries are interesting: Siamese-The
first wife may be divorced, not sold, as the
others may be. She then may claim the
first, third and fifth child, and the alternate
children are yielded to the husband. Arctic
region-When a man desires a divorce he
leaves the house in anger and does not re-
turn for several days. The wife understands
the hint, packs her clothes and leaves. Tar
tars-The husband may put away his part
her and seek another when it pleases him.
and the wife may do the same. If she be
ill-treated she complains to the magistrate,
who, attended by the principal people, ac-
companies her to the house and pronOunces
formal divorce
ChineSe-Divorces are allowed in all
cases of criminality. mutual dislikes, jeal-
ousy, incompatibility of temper, or too much
loquacity on the part of the WIFE The hus-
band cannot sell his wife until she leaves
him by action of the law OF desertion. A
son is bound to divorce his wife if she dis
pleaseS his parents.
Jews-In olden times the Jews had a
discretionary power of divorcing their
wives.
Javans- If the wife be dissatisfied she
can obtain a divorce by paying a certain
sum.
ThibetanS Divorces are seldom allowed,
unless with the consent of both parties
neither of whom can afterward remarry
Moors-If the wife does not become
mother of a boy she may be divorced with
the consent Of the tribe, and she can marry
again.
Abyssinians- form of marriage is
necessary. The connection may be dis
solved and renewed as often as the parties
think proper.
Siberians-If the man be dissatisfied
with the most trifing acts of his wife he
tears her cap or veil from her head, and
this constitutes divorce. Coreans-The
husband can divorce his wife and leave her
the charge of maintaining the children; if
she proves unfaithful he can put her to
death. Druse and Turkoman-Among
these people, if wife asks her husbands
permission to go out and if he says 'sgo, y
without adding ''but come back again, ,,
she is divorced Though both parties de-
sire it. they cannot live together without
being remarked. Cochin Chinese-If the
parties choose to separate they break pair
of chop-sbiclls or copper-coin in the pres
ence of witnesses, b. which action the union
is dissolved The husband must restore to
the wife the property belonging to her prior
to her marriage. American Indians
Among some tribes the pieces OF sticks
given to the witnesses Of the marriage are
burnt as sign of divorce. Usually new
connection are formed without the old ones
being dissolved. A man never divorces his
wife if she has bore him SONS.

Heavy Shortage.

NEW YORK, June 2.-Between 7and 12
O'Clock tonight j. B. Baldwin, cashier Of
the bank of the Manhattan company, Wis
tied the offices of the newspapers and gave
to each a copy of statement sent by the
bank to the clearing house this afternoon.
The statement is. signed by, d. G. Hayes,
the president, and sets forth that as the
paying teller did not appear at his desk this
morning and sent no excuse for his alb
sence, meeting of directors was
called. An investigation into the pay
ing teller's accounts shows shortage
of $16O,61O. The paper made known that
this fact was given out that the exact
amount of the defalcation might be officially
published. 1t was added that the unim-
paired surplus of the bank, after deducting
the above deficit, is 1925, 900.

Mormonis1n Dying Out.

Special to the Globe.
DEs MONIES, June 2.-Col. Godfrey of
the Utah commission has just returned
here, and reports that the MOrmons are be-
ginning to recognize the power of the gov
ernment. Scores of indictments have been
returned to the courts and defendants are
hiding or have fled. The polygamists be-
gin to realize that they are disfranchised.
Eight or ten are already in the penitentiary
and more will follow. There are fewer plural
marriages, and those very secretly. There
is no organized opposition to the law, for
the polygamists are wise enough to see that
such course would be suicidal, and would
result in determination. The president,
apostles, bishops and elders are putting
themselves out of the reach of the courts.
While the law is not effecting all that could
be desired, it is doing very well as the be-
ginning of the end.

FaeId For Murder.

CINCINNATI, June 2.--Shortly before 9
o'clock this morning DR.. E. E. 10y, a we'll
known physician, shot and killed his broth
er-in-law, Harry Champlin, at their resi-
dence, No. At West Seventh street.
Champlin is all unmarried man, who has
been addicted to drinking. He is the grand
son OF the late II. A. Jones, a well-knOwn
steamboat proprietor. and was employed for
some time as clerk of the steamer Sherlock
and afterwards on the wharf boat, and for
some time past he has been idle, but has
lived with his mother, who is in comfortable
circumstances. He has been in the habit of
demanding and obtaining money from his
methe., and when refused has been in the
habit of abusing her. Last night he left
home pleasantly, promising his mother to
return later Instead he went home after
o'clock in partly drunken condi-
ton. went to his mothers bedside and
began abusing her. He awakened a
visitor, Mrs. Glenn of Michigan, who
went to him and begged him to desist. He
struck here, with a chair and returned to
his abuse of his mother. This aroused DR..
10y and Mrs 10y, Champlin'S sister, and
they came to the room. The coachman also
came and he and 10y, after struggle
with Champlin, got him into the hall, in
tending to put him to bed. He broke
away, however, and rushing down stairs
got carving knife and returned. DR.. 10y
warned him to stop, but Champlin, with an
oath, rushed at him with the knife. The
doctor, who was standing in front of his
wife, fired and Champlin fell. Mrs. 10y
screamed: '.You have killed him." but
the doctor said that he had only shot to
scare him. 1t was found, however, that
Champlin was dying, the ball having en-
tered between the eyes, The grief of his
mother was unbounded. DR.. 10y was
taken to the station house and locked up on
the charge of murder. He regretted deeply
the tragic termination of the affair, but
made clear statement of the entire trans
action, showing that he acted solely in self
defense. In the police court to-day, DR..
E. E. 10y was charged with murder in the
second degree, which in this state carries a
single penalty, that of Imprisonment for
life. His examination was postponed
until tomorrow, and he was released on a
SO, 600 bond given by Herman Dahme.
The coroner held an inquest on the body
of Harry Champlin to-day. The testimony
Of Mrs. Champlin showed her son had
frequently assaulted and beaten her, and
that last night, in the darkness, he threw
chair at her, breaking the bedstead and
the window. The coroner found DR.. Loy's
shooting was in self-defense and done with
aview of intimidation, instead of infiicting
bodily injury.

JOHN HOEY AT HOME.
How he Looks After His Paradise
amd Designs Houses.

"
New York Sun.
.sTo see MI. John Hoey about his place
at Long Branch" said a gentleman yester-
day, whose relations with the master OF
HOLLYWOOD park are intimate, ''you never
would suppose that he is the dapper gen
eral manager of Adams Express company
and the largest landowner at the Bra ncll-
a man who orders his trousers by the score
and his shoes by the dozen pairs at time.
He is up and all around his grounds long
before his workmen awaken, for it is his
habit to make daily inspection between
and a. m.. to note what was done the
day before and to lay out his plans for the
morrow. On these perambulating tours
his apparel consists of a mosaic suit OF old
ill-ftting clothes and an ancient Derby hat
that looks as if it might have been rejected
by his shabbiest laborer. He is invariably
the last person Oh the place to go to bed,
and it is not an infrequent thing to see his
light burning at or o'clock in the morn
ing, while he is looking up some abstruse
point in architecture, or studying the latest
foreign designs in wall paper or carpets.
Remarkable as it may appear, and despite
his RESPONSIBLE and multitudinouS business
duties MIR. HOey has not only designed all
of his own houses, to the number OF six
teen, but has superintended their construc-
ton and selected personally every piece of
furniture and of bric-a-brac in them all.
His method of building a house is OF pri-
meval simplicity. H e takes his head car
penter to the site of the proposed edifice,
and with stick draws on the ground rude
sketch. mentioning the dimensions from
time to time-this hall to be SO wide, the
ceiling so high, this bedroom to be so wide,
so deep, with one window here, another
window there, the gas jets to come here
and the door there. No detail is missed in
the plan or forgotten in the construction.
and Mi is carried in his head ready for use
at the slightest notice. An architects plans
and specifications, with their bewildering
labyrinth of figures, would upset him.

Anti.Jewish Riots

VIENNA, June 2.-Serious anti-Jewish
riots have again broken out. They were
renewed yesterday with increased violence.
The melting cause at the present time is the
excitement of the people growing out of
the election agitation. The Carmelite
platz was filled with a bowling mob, and
free fights were frequent. The shops of
the Jews were raided and ruined, and their
owners violently assaulted. Not less than
forty persons were severely wounded. The
police made many arrests, still they were
powerless to suppress the rioters, and were
obliged to call for the aid of the military.
Other riots of like violence and destruction
have taken place in the Weiden and Neu-
ban districts. In these districts the entire
police force is on duty, patrolling the streets
and preventing the gathering of crowds.
The German Liberal party had three of its
candidates defeated in Vienna, which is a
loss OF three seats in that one city alone.
In Leopolstadt Herr Schneider, the anti
Semitic candidate, was beaten ''out of
sight" The majority against him is 6, 600
votes.
