M. Rsnan appears to have reversed
the practice followed by some Of the unclean
writers OF the French school, and which a
French critic has described as giving cup of
tea after an emetic, by sending forth after his
poetic and imaginative attempts at Biblical ex-
egesis shameless volume which the Parlsian
journals assert tramples under foot all the sov-
ereign laws Of virtue" 1t is not necessary to

A Very Bad Man.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. February 2J.-An
Avalanche special from Springfield, Mo-,
says: The greatest excitement prevails
over the discovery of foul urder COM
mitted last September. George Graham
is the suspected party. His victim was
Ind, via St. Louis, to meet him at
Springfield. lie left Springfield with
her and his two children on September
%, but returned two days afterwards
alone. Nothing more was seen of Mrs.
Graham. The children, however, were
seen on his farm near BrOOkline, seven
miles from here. He told lady with
whom his wife stopped that she was not
the mother Of the children, but their
aunt. Graham had been divorced from
his wife, owing to his Imprisonment in
the penitentiaTy in Indiana for horse
stealing. On his release, he again we'd
ded her and removed to Kansas. Treat
ing her badly caused a separation, and
she went home TO her people in In
diana. Graham then went to SPRING
field snd married the niece OF
Mrs. Mallar, the great temperance
woman. He lived with Mrs. Ora
ham No. 2 for year, when his where
abouts became known to Mrs. Graham
No. l. and he met her in st. Louis before
bringing her to Springfield. The long
absence from her home at Fort Wayne
of Mrs. Graham, No. | caused uneasi-
ness among her relatives, and her
brOther-in-law, Mr.. Breeze, after writing
many letters to people Of this city, came
to Springfield, and though failing to find
her, had Graham arrested for bigamy
and he is now in jail. This was in the
early part of last month. Here matters
rested, but detectives of st. Louis, and
Davis and White, of Springfield, began
the trace which to-day resulted in find
ing the body Of the missing woman,
naked in dry well 80 feet deep, near
Brookline. A bullet hole was found In
her right breast, which had perforated
her corset. The coroner has gone to the
scene of the crime. and If Identification
Of the remains is satisfactory, Graham
will be lynched and thus will end the
career Of horse-thief, bigamist and
murderer.

The Mccormick Strike.

CHICAGO, February 25.-The strikers
at McCormick's reaper factory to the
number of about 1000 appeared in the
vicinity ofthe works this morning and

name Is Ernest Stownan, was arrested
and locked up. More police were sent

ure had dispersed.

The Labor Situation.

CONNETLsvILIE Pa, February Do
SOciaIstic Hungarians caused more trou-
BILE in the coke regions this morning. A
crowd Ofthem assembled at BrOadford
and marched TO Semmit, on the Mount
Pleasant branch, forcing every coke
drawer from work along the route. They
were nearly all armed and fired numer-
Gus shots in order to intimidate the
workers. AT Summit and other works
the coke drawers fled through fear of
violence from the mob, and in some
cases left the scrapers in hot ovens to
melt, fearing that If they continued to
work the tipple and other buildings at
the works would be destroyed. The
strikers demand an advance of 10 cents
per oven instead Of the 10 per cent re-
Gently granted. At Leiseirring, the men
requested Superintendent Faggart to
discharge man who had worked dur
ing the strike. This was refused, and
the men all struck this morning.

A Plea for Our Mayor.

Editor san Antonio Light.
Our honorable Mayor, Bryan Cal
laghan, is a native of our city, and the
youngest man who has yet filled the
office. His elevation to this position is
evidently misfortune to hun, which he
will some day fully realize, If he does
not to do so already. Inexperienced in
public life, he was suddenly placed in
position requiring experience in public
affairs, mature judgment, and business
ability. Had he been fortunate enough
to have had associated with him City
Council composed Of men capable Of I'M
derstanding the wants Of the commu-
nifty and independent enough to carry
out their convictions, our young chief
executive would have found his path
much smoother, for the reason that his
inexperience would not have been taken
advantage of and his lack of business
capacity made conspicuous. Nominated
by a convention calling itself Demo-
cratic, Mr.. Callaghan has to confess
that his election was due largely to the
help he received from Republicans, who
looked upon the contest as between two
Democrats-one rather Old and s'moss-
backy," the other rather Young and
green. Once IN office Mr.. Calisgban
discovers that he must either surrender
to his enemies or entrench his friends
behind the city patronage. He chose
the latter course, and hence we find that
the Mexican population gets the lions
share of the city offices. Now who can
blame him; he has no hope of making an
administration that will commend itself
to the people at large; his Council, taken
as a whole, is far below the mark:

signs upon the throne iis.jf Tb.rs oro

A New Sensation.

PARIS, February pa new kind Of
sensation was made in the Chamber Of
Deputies this afternoon. A strange man
in one OF the galleries excitedly drew
q revolver and fired 1t twice with a
downward aim, and then coolly threw a
letter toward NJ. Clemenceau. The man
was quickly seized and hurried out by
the police. When the excitement had
subsidized, flattened bullet was found at
the feet OF the President ofthe Chamber.
The prisoner said he was soldier, who
had been so i'll treated by his superiors
and ignored by the officers Of justice
that he resorted to the desperate expe-
dent of creating a sensation in the
Chamber of Deputies TO secure attention
to his grievances. The prisoner gave
his name as Horier, and said he was an
officer in the Ninth Army Corps. He
asserted that the letter which he threw
towards NJ. Clemenceau contained an
offer to give the government the names
Of the betrayers OF Metz.

A Telegram from Socialists.

PARIS, February 25.-Socialist mem
bers Of the Chamber OF Deputies to-day
joined in sending telegram to British
workmen in the House of Commons"
proposing a joint international govern
ment in the interest of laboring men.
The main objects of the proposition are
to secure a reduction in the hours of
labor improvement of the sanitary con-
dition Of the workshops; proper limits
to work required of women and minors,
and absolute prohibition against allow
ing children Of either sex under IA years
Of age TO work at all in shops or fac
tories. The telegram suggests that
British workmen join those of France in
inviting the workmen Of America and
Europe to send delegates to Congress, to
be held next September, in some place
to be hereafter designated, for the pur-
pose of discussing means to "emancipate
the workmen of all countries"

TOPAKs, Kas., February 25.-Narious
indications here show that the war re-
sulting from the breaking up Of the
Trans-oontinental Association is more
virulent than ever. The probabilities
are that rates to the Pacific coast, at
least by the SantaFe will be much low
er before they are higher. Travel has
considerably fallen off on all lines in ex-
pectation Of this result, and it is not
possible to say when the lowest rate will
be reached on the Pacific coast business
