Among the characters in attendance at the
recent conference of charities and corree-
ton, which terminated it's sessions at the
state capitol last Thursday, was Mr.. A. E.
Elmore, president Of the Wisconsin board Of
charities. His gray hair, commanding figure
and venerable appearance made him the OBJ
ject of no little attention from the other mem
bers of the conference.
Deeply interested in all the subjects looking
to the Improvement of the condition of the
prisoners, he was no unimportant factor of
the gathering. In his own state he is power,
political and otherwise, aud has been for
many, many years.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing in con-
nection with his position and the power which
he yields is the fact that he is an avowed
atheist and never hesitates to express his dis
belief in Christianity and the churches.
~
Years and years ago he and fellow disbe-
lever, Hiram Bond of Makwonago, Wis,
made promise, the one to the other, that
the survivor should preach q funeral grafton
over the remains of the first to go. and should
have exclusive control over the funeral
This agreement was made when the two men
first moved into Wisconsin.
Several years ago Bond, who was along in
the four-score years, began to fail in health.
He knew that his end was nigh, SO dispatch
was sent to Mr.. Elmore asking him to come
to the bedside of the dying atheist. Elmore
came by the next train. The first question,
propeunded by the sick man, was touching
Elmore's Willingness to live up to the old
agreement. Elmore explained that he was
perfectly willing to do SO, whereupon Bond
asked him to go and write the Grafton at once
so that the sick man might hear what would
be said over his dead body.
The request was complied with, and the
address prepared and read to the sick man.
He suggested some minor changes, and soon
after died. Mr.. Elmore carried out his dead
friends instructions to the letter. and buried
him as directed in his will and read over his
remains the Grafton which had been read to
him in life

personal JOURNALISM.

1t is TO be lamented that two good news
papers like the Star and World of New
York should lower their standard by in
dulging in personal journalism. But it is a
source of profound congratulation to see
the press throughout the country uniting in
denunciation of this practice. The num-
erous rebukes that are being administered
to Editors DoRsHEIMER and PULITZER
by the American press is good evidence of
the healthy condition of American journal
ism. 1t makes no difference what Mr..
PULITZER or what Mr.. DoRsHEIMER NAV
have been in the past They are judged by the
public solely by what their newspapers are
at the present time. 1t is the newspaper
and not the man that becomes the object of
public scrutiny. 1t makes no difference
whether the editor of the Star was once a
bankrupt or whether the editor of the
World came to this country as pauper i'm
migrant, so long as they furnish their sub
scribers with a clean newspaper. Indecent
journalism is one of the things that ought
not to be tolerated in this day and genera
ton. and the great metropolitan newspapers
ought to be the ones to set an example of
good behavior i'm this reSnact

THE PAYNE soUABBLE ENDE1

THE PAYNE SQUABBLE ENDED.
Gen. LOGAN feels that he has been vim
dictated by the senate's refusal to investi-
gate the charges against Senator PAYNE.
Now the general will feel at liberty to spit
upon Mr. MURAT HALsTEAD whenever
the opportunity presents itself. If, how
ever the senate refused to investigate the
PAYNE case for the reasons that Gen.
LOGAN assigned for his conduct in the mat
ter. it will only be evidence that the senate is
body of nincompoops 1t is not fair to
assume that the senate based its action on
any such ridiculous grounds as Gen. LOGAN
gave. The supposition is that the senate
did not believe that a case Of bribery could
be made out against Senator PAYNE and
very wisely determined not to waste its
time in dirty attempt to besmirch an hon
Orable mans reputation. There are laws
in Ohio against bribery and if Mr.. HAL
STEAD or anybody else is in possession OF
evidence that will convict Senator PAYNE
of bribery why don't they prosecute him in
the Ohio courts and not be attempting to
make grand body of inquest out of the
United States senate.

Outraged and Murdered.

DAYTON, O., July 23.-One of the most
brutal and tiendish crimes which has ever
been committed in this section of the state
came to light one mile north of Franklin
at late hour last evening by the
discovery of the bloody, lifeless remains
OF Mary Holmeyer, the thirteen-year-old
daughter of Christian Holmeyer, who had
been outraged and then brutality murdered
with club. The little girl was sent from
home about o'clock to get some axle
grease at a grocery in Franklin. a
distance of about a mile and half. She
arrived there all right and started for home
about o'clock. She never arrived there.
however, and her parents were
very much alarmed. They anxieusIy
looked for, but when she failed to put
in an appearance by 9 o'clock her father
started out to hunt her up. He had scarcely
left when he was accosted by Neil McCaf-
fsrty and Ennis Atkinson, who in
formed him that they had found the body
of little girl about 200 yards down
the pike. Holweger fastened to the scene.
The BODY of the little girl was still warm,
and grasplng her in his arms he carried her
home. Her head had been terribly bat
tered with a club and was covered with
blood. Her clothing was all torn and
disarranged and her body badly bruised.
Two men have been arrested on suspicion,
Rollo Russell and j. W. Taylor, the latter
a peddler. The evidence is strong against
Russell. A knife known to be his was

A DoDGING STATESMAN,

New Hampshire has a senator who is a
perfect old granny. His name is BLAIR.
He has made himself notorious by his IA
natical advocacy of prohibition and woman
suffrage and by his being the author of a
bill to take SIS, 900, coo from the public
treasury to be appropriated to educating
the Southern people. More recently Mr..
Senator BLAIR has been posing as critic
and the gall of his criticisms has been
poured upon the president for vetoing
private pension bills. Now it turns out
that there was method in Senator BLAIR's
criticism. He is the member of a firm
which has been driving a good business as
pension agents and the president has been
stepping on the senator's toes. The coun
try would have remained in ignor-
ance of Mr.. BLAIR's connection with
the pension claim agency if he had not
given the whole snap away yesterday.
Somebody had threatened to expose some
member of congress who was guilty oil the
disreputable practice of eXtorting illegal
fees from widows and orphans who were
pensioners on the government For fear
that if a brick Of this kind was thrown it
might hit him, Mr. BLAIR began to dodge

HON. EDMUND RICE.
To the Editor of the Globe:

10 Cne EQltOr OF the GLOBE:
AS the indications all point to the election
OF Democratic congressman from the Fourth
district this year and the time is approaching
when the Democrats will be called upon to
name candidate, ask space in your paper
to present the name of Hon, EDMUND RICE of
st. Paul, as proper person for the Demo-
cratic nomination. If any Democrat can
carry the district Mayor RICE can. What
says the GLOBE? A DEMOCRAT
Minneapolis July 81.
The GLOBE very cheerfully indorses the
opinion of our correspondent. Mr.. RICE
is a Democrat to be relied On. He is a man
of superior ability, a gentleman of digni-
fed bearing and the highest character, and
would not only make representative that
the district would be proud of, but one that
would render the district valuable service.
Aman of Mayor RICE's character and
ability would command respect and exert
influence in any body of which he
might be member. 1t is time that
district which embraces the two
great cities of the Northwest-St
Paul and Minneapolis-was represented
by congressman above mediocrity.
The GLOBE says this much in response to
our correspondent respecting Mr.. RIcE's
fitness for place in congress without dis
paragement to the claims of any other
Democrat who may aspire to The position,
If there be any such, and without any
knowledge that Mayor RICE even desires a
nomination, or that his friends intend to
press his name for the place. We have
simply said what we know to be true.

One of the pleasantest of the old young
men Of Washington is the Hon. Harvey NJ.
Wattersen, the father of Henry Watterson.
Imagine to yourself tall and slightly built
man, with large head of gray hair, a
white beard falling upon his chest, and a
pair OF the brightest and kindest blue eyes
you will find anywhere. Imagine this man
to be rs years old, but at the same time to
move about with as firm a step as though
he was but 35. Listen to his voice, and it
comes forth in strong chest tones. Talk to
him, and he will tell you that he feels
younger as the years grow older. and that
he hopes to last for many years yet.
Said Mr.. Watterson once to me, in re-
Spouse to question: sThe first sign of a

Absinthe Poisoning i'm Paris.

Paris Letter IN London Truth.
Formerly the word was alcoholism"
now it is ''ethylisln." The phenomenon is
the same, but the fashionable term has
changed: from the lowest to the highest
social spheres ''ethylism" is increasing, and
the Parisians are poisoning themselves with
chemical drinks which have taken the place
of the wine and brandy of old. The prog
gress of ''ethylism" is so alarming that the
government has ordered an official inquiry
to be made. The result of this inquiry will
be recorded in voluminous report which
will be stored away in the dusty pigeon
holes of some ministry or other, and the
people will continue to poison themselves
as before; the aristocracy at Durands and
the Cafe de la Paix; the artists, the literary
men and the tinanciers at the innumerable
cafes whose tables are always crowded at
the absinthe hour, from to Z. Since 1878
it has become the fashion to poison oneself
in artistic cafes. The classical establish
ment with white and gold decor alton,
painted ceilings and red velvet benches, has
been superseded in public favor by Flemish
and medieval taverns decorated with tap
estries pictures, painted windows, old
fashioned furniture, faience and bibelots.
The Partisan tavern. like the Partisan
dwelling, has become miniature museum,
and each new auberge or cabaret that opens
its doors seeks some new and sensational
feature to attract the public.

broken through the troops and retreated to
the mountains in the interior of the state.
The move was not well planned, and the
up-river rancheros, even those adverse to
Cullen, became convinced it had
no political Importance and was
only being used by a lot of border bandits
to plumber ranches and steal horses. They,
therefore. organized strong parties for their
own defense and to aid the troops. 1t is said
Gen. Gemez severely censured Col. CavazOs
for taking any prisoners and for not treat

SUGGESTION TO LAKE RESORTS.

SUGGESTION TO LAKE RESORTS.
The recent sad accident at Frontenac. bv
which the happy lives of two young ladies
were blotted out and mourning carried to
the hearts and homes of many of our peo-
pie, suggests the idea that proprietors of
watering and bathing places should cause
the danger line in the water to be indicated
by buoys or piles. Had this precaution
been taken at Lake Pepin the lives of these
lovely girls would have been spared.
1t is not designed to indicate blame for
the terrible calamity upon anyone, but it is
for the protection of bathers for the future
that this suggestion is made. The estab-
lishment of the danger line now will not
bring these loved ones back, but it may pre-
vent similar tragedy and thus keep sorrow
and sadness from other happy homes. If
proprietors now refuse or fail to mark out
the danger line, some legislation may be
necessary and advisable to compel them to
take this precaution in the interest of
their guests safety

THE Observation-Disclosures

The oleomargarine is now law unless
the president vetoes it, which he is not
likely to do. The tax of 2 cents, which
was finally agreed to by the house and now
fixed in the law, does not amount to much,
and is not sufficient of itself to drive the
fraudulent stuff out of the market.
But two great points have been
gained by the dairymen. In the
first place, they have succeeded in
having the seal of condemnation placed
upon oleomargarine by the national gov
eminent. 1t is declared by law to be a
fraud. And in the second place it puts the
whole machinery of the government at the
disposal of honest butter-makers to enable
them to compel the oleomargarine manu-
facturers to brand and sell their stuff under
its true name. There will be precious little
of the stuff sold when it goes into market
under its true colors. The dairymen now
have it in their power to put an end to
oleomargarine manufacturing, by simply
looking after the enforcement of the law
that congress has passed.
