trance to the building, and deputy sher-
if and two officers were stationed on the
iron stairway leading TO the court room.
A young man, hatless and with his coat
buttoned up tight around him, stood at
the door OF the court. He had no sooner
heard the verdict than he hurled himself
down the changing iron stairs and rush
ing up to one OF the officers at the door,
oreathlessly yelled, They hung seven."
GREETED WITH CHEER.
Those in the front ranks OF the crowd
heard the words and they gave a cheer,
and the rest of the walters took up the
hurrah when the news was communicated
to them and repeated it many times over.
1t sounded like a knell to the prisoners,
but 1t was an assurance to the tired jurors
of what they must have almost known all
along, that the interest of Chicago IN the
trial had not aorted since the morning OF
May 5.
At 2 O'Clock this afternoon large force
OF police was gathered at the Chicago
avenue police station, under command of
Capt. Setback, and little later Chief
Ebersold arrived. 1t is a current rumOr
around town that the police have list
containing the names of nearly 300 per-
sons who were engaged in the anarchist
conspiracy and that Wholesale arrests
will henceforth be the order.
BoMBs FOUND.
A police officer discovered bomb yes
terday on the tracks of the Lake Shore
Company at the stock yard n.y." From
the side protruded small piece OF wire.
The bomb was about three inches long
and about two in diameter. Inside was
bottle filled with a whitish substance.
The machine was turned over to the au-
thOrlties. Later second one was found.
1t was about as large and nearly as round
as base ball. Like its companion. it
was turned over to the proper authori-
ties.
THE ZETTUNG'S EDITORIAL.
| The Arbeiter Zeitung says OF the ver-
dict in the anarchist cases: "rhe news
which Is conveyed in the above headlines
was communicated by Mr.. Osborn, fore
man of the jury, to Judge Gary. The
spotters,' who mingled among the crowd
in the street, broke into a hurrah when
the announcement was made, but the
Judge became quite pale. Not even he
himself had expected it. Mr.. Grinnell
awaited it openly-pTesumably he had
his reasons for 80 doing. Mar
shall Field and men of his
stripe have much unlimited money.
What do the people say TO the verdict?
1t considers it impossible, We also could
not believe the first news till it was con-
firmed later, Capt. Black at once moved
for new trial. Mr.. Grinnell did not o6-
ject, and Judge Gary will hear the mo-
tion at the September term, Should be re-
fuse IL, then there remains nothing but an
appeal, We ara ourselves too much ex-
cited to say more to-day"

THE CLOSING OF BATOUM.
Lord Rosebery's Dispatch to the
Home Government.

LONDON, Aug. 20.-Lord Rosebery's
dispatch of July 10 to the Russian gov
ernment relative to the closing OF the port
OF Batoum is published. The dispatch
says in substance: There Is one direct,
supreme and perpetual interest at stake
in this ransaction-namely, the binding
force and sanctty OF international
pledges. England is always ready to up
hold this principle, and will not palter
Herewith in the present instance.
Therefore the English government
cannot recognize or associate itself
in any shape or form with this
act Of the Russian government. which is
Iu violation OF the treaty OF Berlin and
which will tend to make the conclusion OF
similar treaties In the future difficult, If
not Impossible, and cast doubt at least
upon those already concluded. Other
powers must Judge how far they will ac-
quiesce in this breach OF international
engagement.
RUssIA's REPLY.
N. DeGIers, the Russian foreign minis
ter, in reply, expressed himsolf as pain
fully surprised by this dispatch. He
maintained that the Russian Emperor's
promise was not equivalent TO an obliga-
tion. Russia, he stated. was still anxious
to contribute TO the consolidation of gen.
eral peace, and he expressed the hope that
the powers which fixed and guaranteed
it's basis, would themselves respect them.
NJ. DeGiers displays throughout much
Irritation and his tone is decidedly me-
nacinR.

The Hydrophobia Craze.

The popular alarm about lydropho-
bja has become an absolute craze, and
it is evident to those who retain their
judgment that the proceedings of, NJ.
Pasteur in relation: to the matter are in
no way calculated 10 bring about a
common-sense reaction. TO talk, as
NJ. Pasteur does, about ''curing' these
is utterly and amazingly unscientific.
Seeing that there's no proof Of the ex-
istenee of hydrophobia in the dogs
that bit the patients, it must be impos-
sible to demonstrate from any treat
ment of them the efficiency Of the said
treatment. Moreover, as according to
experience and the best authorities the
incubating period of the hydrophobia
virus may last several years, it is clear
" absurd TO argue irvm sfsv- t>.+.-~s,-

been affected. Nothing more s]oven-
" or less in accord with scientific
methods than Professor Pasteur's
course in this regard can be imagined.

Detroit, Mich,

Detroit is one of the: oldest cities on
this continent. Before Hendrix Hud-
son set foot on the island of Manhat-
tan, and while Henry ~. still sat on
the throne of trance, the Hurons point
ed out the site where it is built to
Champlain, the founder of Quebec, as
the natural-gate to the "vast seas of
sweet water" and then was born in
the brain of the great French naviga-
r,,r- .:.z ,:...,...-. ~ C-c.,co - which
should extend from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and have Quebec and Detroit
as its eastern and western fortresses.
This dream was inherited by the
French monarchs, but it was not till
ninety years later that one of them at
tempted TO make it reality. Then
Louis XIV. commissioned the Sieur
Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, who
from 1894 to 1899 had teen III command
at Mackinaw, to found at Detroit a
settlement, and erect there a fort to
hold the region of the Great Lakes for
the French government
This Was done: and Detroit, under
the successive. reigns of Henry w.,
Louis KILL, XIV, and XIV, was for
nearly sixty years a French town.

THE DEAD POE9s CREED,

LiKesome green forest thrice cut down
Whose shoots defy the axeman's strife,
And skyward spreads greater crown.
While sunshine gilds my aged head,

The lamps of God their soft lights shed,
And distant worlds are understood.
Say not my soul is but clod,
Resultant of my bOdy's powers; 4

And will not rest outside His bowers. :
The Winters SHOWS are on my brows,
But Summer suns mora brightly glow,
And violets, lilacs, roses now
Seem sweeter than long years ago.

Much palmer can hear afar
Immortal symphonies which blend
TO welcome me from star to star. -.

Our monuments will later rise

How Some Married Women 20 60 Sleep.
There is an article gong the rounds

The manner in which they 60 to sleep,
according to the article, can't hold a
candle to the way a married woman
goes to sleep.
Instead of thinking what she should
have attended to before going to bed,
she thinks of it afterward. While she
revolving these matters in her mind,
and while snugly tucked up in bed,
the old man is scratching his head in
front of the fire and wondering how he
will pay the next months rent. Sud.
denly she exclaims:

''Well, if it is not shut the cat vii

"Let her come up, then," say
James, ill-naturedly.

''she'd suck the baby's BREATH
Then James paddles down-stair

And so James, with muttereC

and falls over a chair and rasps all the
tinware off the wall in search of the
''big' tin, and then jerks the stair
door open and bowls: Where the
deuce are the matches?'
She gives him minute directions
where to find the matches, and adds
that she would rather 90 and get the
water herself than have the whole
neighborhood raised about it. After
which James finds the matches, pro.
cures the water, and comes upstairs
and plunges into bed.

How Pat Converted His Feliow-Convicts.
Yesterday it was the good fortune OF
reporter of this paper to meet a
priest who is frequently called to the
Charity Hospital, and who has accom-
plished much good in reforming tie
the unfortunate people so often found
in that institution. During the CONVEX
sation the reverend father told numer-
GUS amusing anecdotes of his personal
experiences, and wound up a very
pleasing evening by telling very fun
ny story about priest in Ireland who
was lsborlng to get number of con-
victs to join the Catholic Church. 1t
seems that seven men were sentenced
to be transported, and among them
was an 1rishman convicted of counter
feiting. According to the custom of
the country the convicts were allowed
to choose any4religion they desired to
adopt. and the Irishman made up his
mind that they should all become
Catholics: Accordingly when they
assembled in the prison yard the sub
ject of religion was broug ht up by the
Irishman, who said: ''Boys, we have
all been bad together, we have made
lots of money and spent it, aud now
since we all have to join the church
there is no reason why we should be
separated. now propose VIC toss a
ha'penny and shape our course on the
result. If harp comes up we will be
Catholics, and if a queen shows on top
we will be Protestants.
agreed, said the convicts. and
Pat tossed the ha'penny and the harp
won.
Accordingly they all became Cath
olics; and just before their departure
the parish priest approached Pat and
asked how he managed to convert his
fellow-convicts. 20, easy enough, -
replied Pat, and then he told the story
of the ha'penny.
did you risk your immortal soul on
the turning of pennyp'' exclaimed
the priest in holy horror
''Indeed I did not," replied Pat.
''that ha'penny had a harp on both
sides. I made it myself. ''-New Or

Pretty Faces.

a pretty face is always attractive
and to be pretty it must be perfection
in. all its parts. The forehead must be
the same height as the nose, and it
should be free from wrinkles and ir-
Irregularities; frowns should not disfg-
ure it. If it grows rough or colored
from rowing or riding it may be
bruised lightly with fine olive oil, but
cold cream or animal grease should
not be applied to the human skin. If
it is plumpy, a solution of borax (nine
gralns) rose water Zone tablespoonful,
and orange flower Gone tablespoonful,)
may be used on it.
