lot of diamonds, sapphires and other pre-
cious stones. Some of these gems were set
in new gold bands, but most of them were
loose. When asked to explain how these
valuable stones came into his possession,
Mcneil made several contradictory state
ments. First he claimed TO have bought
them in New York; then he said he was an
actor and had purchased them at various
times from brother professionals who were
in hard luck, and finally that he had secured
them at bargain in San Francisco from a
man who had just arrived from Australia.
The police found that Mcneil had pawned a
new gold chain worth $50 for S.. From this
and the fact that the setting of the jewels
found on Monell's person were new, the po-
lice argue that the whole lot was stolen from
some jewelry store. Several dealers in pre-
cious stones were scalled in to appraise the
find, and placed the value at S., 500 to 81, 900.
Mcneil is about twenty-seven years old
wears a small dark moustach, and uses his
tongue with remarkable fuency. Both men
are held to await investigation which will be

WANT THE BALLOT.
Chicago Ladies Demand That Their Names
be Placed Upon the Registry Roll.

CHICAGO March 10.-An interesting feat
ure of the registration under the new city
election law yesterday was the attempt of
several members of the Englewood Women's
Suffrage Association, and the Woman
Rights Club to have their names entered
upon the books in order that they might
vote on election day. The first attempt
was made by Miss DR.. Adeline A. Rowe, in
company with Miss Bassett, seventy-six
years old, who voted in Minneapolis and
Massachusetts,, in school elections, and Mrs.
Pellon. Together they walked to the poll
ing place of the Sixteenth Precinct and
stated their desires. The Judges informed
them that under law women were disquali-
fed. Miss Rowe commended that under the
constitution of the United States they were
citizens. She then quoted Article 4, Section
2, of the constitution, and Article 4, Section
1. of amendments. to sustain her claim.
The election Commissioners were telephoned
to, and they instructed the Judges to obey
the law. Unsuccessful in their attempt, the
lady sufragists returned to their homes. At
the Fifteenth Precinct a party of comely
nlatrons and maidens, led by DR..
Alice Stockham, President of the
Woman's Rights Club, demanded that
their names should be put upon the roll.
lDcy Ilcb Will lHe SAME Telu5dl, ana TcJlTeU
without argument. DIR. Rowe was seen soon
after the refusal to allow her to place her
self on record. She said that she did not
claim the right under the State of new elee
ton law to register or vote, but under the
Constitution of the United States. She did
not expect to be successful. They had
nothing to complain of, for really all that
was intended was to make a test case and
carry the matter to the Supreme Court.
The State law is wrong" she continued,
''and must be changed" Mrs. Stockham
said that meeting would probably be held
in short time to decide upon a further
course of action, and adopt some plan of
making up test case. 1--WE have dragged
our skirts in the dirty mire of politics" said
the energetic President of the woman's
Fighters, "and / can not see that we are any
the worse for It," She did not claim that
the Government would be any better by
reason of women voting but it was their
right under the law, and she hoped the So
ciety would keep at it until their aim was
achieved.

The prevention of decay in wood is said to
be effectively accomplished by exhausting
the air from the pores and filing them with
a gutta percha solution, a substance which
preserves the wood alike from moisture,
water and the sun. The solution is made
by mixing two-thirds of gutta percha to one
third of parafine, this mixture being then
heated to liqulfy the gutta percha, when it is
readily introduced into the pores of the
wood, the effect of the gutta percha being,
when it becomes cool, to harden the pores.
The green color which sometimes affects

gills in numbers great enough to give green
appearance. The coloring matter which
may be vegetable or an abnormal product
of digestion, is entirely harmless, and in no
wise due to copper tincture, as is popularity
supposed.

They entered the kitchen with masks on their

Right into the parlor IN search OF a gun.
From the top OF the stair two bullets did come,
Which murdered the poor widows darling.
A lad in the rank, dashing young blade,
With daring young heart that never was dis
mayed,
He leyelied his rife that meier him betrayed.
And lett the old bloodhound there squeling.
They fought and they rallied through parlor
Outside in the kitchen old Curtin did fall,
But for damp ammunition we would settle
them all.
Which is but the fate of informers.
His grandfather, too, Pm informed OF late
He brought to the gallows in the year '95
Four dozen OF choppers, the truth we must
For which he was highly rewarded;
But the blood OF those martyrs for vengeance

Success to the right boy that gave him the ball,
God prosper him over the water!

Five Men Killed by the Explosion of Tug
in Boston Harbor.

BosToN March 1O.-The tug John Market
left her berth at ''T' wharf at 6:30 O'Clock
this morning and started down the harbor in
search of vessels desiring her services. There
was large number of persons on the wharf
who watched the boat steam away. Just as
she arrived off Long Island an explosion &C.
Cured on board, the noise of which was
plairlv audible in this city. The boat was
blown completely to atoms, and her crew of
five men were instantly killed. The crew
consisted of Captain Cyrus A. Nickerson,
who resided on avenue 81, London street,
East Boston; engineer, George Croker; Frank
Croker, fireman; Albert ID. Smith, cook, and
James Hodkins, deck hand. The bodies of
the captain and engineer were recovered by
tugs that were cruising in the vicinity. They
were brought here and taken to the morgue.
The boat was built in Philadelphia about
twelve years ago and piled in Philadelphia
waters until eight or nine years ago, when
she was bought by Captain Nickerson, man

others about church-going She found out
not long since that people belonged to
churches, some to this one and some to that,
and her idea seemed to be that people picked
out their churches principally on account of
the fine organs or of the architectural beau
ties of the interior. At present think the
church that had the handsomest stained
glass-windows or the best-toned organ would
secure that little girls membership. She

An Important Arrest by Chicago Pc


CHICAGO March 10.-The police made an
arrest yesterday which resulted in the find
ing of an unexpected treasure, and will prob
ably lead to important developments. For
some time past they have been looking for
one James Ryan, who is described as a va
riety actor, petty thief, etc. Yesterday even
ing he was arrested as he was leaving pawn
shop, in company with well-dressed young
man, who said his name was Charles E..
Mcneil. Both men were taken to the Har-
rison Street Station and searched. Nothing
of note was found on Ryan. Mcneil had a
new gold watch in his pocket, and exhibited
such marked signs of uneasi.ess over the
searching process that he was literally
stripped to the skin. For defense against
the inclement weather he wore three under
shirts, and between two of them had secured
a pouch containing $83 in gold coin. After
removing all of Monell's clothing the
officers found tied around his body

THE ENGRAVING.

Volume after volume has been written
about the character of HAMLET, PR1NCEOF
DENMARK Artists have pictured IL, poets
have rhymed it, and actors have portrayed
il upon the stage and made themselves
famous, but not, until now, has such true
and artistic picture been offered at price
within the reach of ALL In the foreground
of the engraving is seen Hamlet, in "inky
cloak and suit of solemn black" He stands
close to fair and lovely Ophelia, the one he
loved, but put away from his heart that he
might let nothing interfere with his motives
of revenge In this thrilling picture these
two form a study by themselves Ophelia,
clinging to Hamlet and her eyes raised TO
his, in wonder and fear for the passion ex-
pressed in his face, for while his face is
turned toward her he is pointing to the play
on the stage, and his countenance shows
that the storm of passion is raging in his
soul. On the mimic stage is the cloaked and
hooded murderer seen dropping "the cursed
hebenon" in the brothers ear with careful
and malignant steadiness. Between Hamlet
and this stage sit the guilty pair-the King
and Queen. The King with every muscle
ready to help him flee from before the sight,
yet not daring to stir; the queen, with
clenched hands, seeing only Hamlet and inn
plOring him with her eyes to know what it
all means. Thus three distinct groups are
brought out with marvellous skill by the en-
graver, who has made this picture so fine that
IL is worthy place in the most elegant home
