A Remarkable Denomination of
Affection

ST. Louis, No., March ia re-
markable mode Of displaying affection
was demonstrated In the city Jail yes
terday. Among the prisoners are Sadie
Hayes, colored woman, convicted OF
murder In the 6rst degree, and VIM.
Lacey, black burglar, under peni-
Tertiary sentence. The pair grew very
adectionate OF late. The woman wrote
him note, in which she assured the
burglar that he was the only object OF
her affection and requested him, II he
thoughts much OF her as he pretend
cd, TO send her his finger with the ring
on 1t. Lacey was TO leave for the "pen"
to-day. After receiving the note he
tore open the sole OF his shoe and ex.
tracted the steel shank, and sharpened
II TO raSored edge on the walls OF his
cell. He then deliberately sat down
and cut of the small finger OF his right
hand at the second joint, placed the
ring on the severed fiuger and sent
them to the cell OF the murderess. He
tied up the stump with a piece OF
string, aud then wrapped his hand up
in the handker hief. The Jail guards
discovered the blood and soon learned
what had happened. They took the
dismembered fDger from the woman.
Lacey is said by physicians to be per-
fectly sane.

A Terrible ARRAY In the Dark

DECATUR, ILL, marCn lls-luTeb
well-dressed young men, Edward Ivey
and Bruce Woodland of Liberty, H.,
and Charles McKim OF Carbon, Ind,
got on the west-bound accommodation
train, on the Decatur and Evansville
road, this morning, at Nation, for the
purpose Of stealing a ride TO Decatur
They took refuge in a box-car which
was closed and locked after them by
the trainmen. When within ten
miles OF Decatur the trio became in.
volved in a fight, which ended in a
tragedy. McKim shot Ivey in the
head, back and abdomen, and Wood.
ard, WHO also had a revolver, emptied
the five chambers at McKim without
hitting him. Nine shots were fired in
the dark car while Ivey lay upon the
floor weltering in his life blood. The
noise attracted the attention OF the
conductor, who, with United States
Deputy Marshal who happened to
be on board went to the car, opened
IL and found McKim aud Woodland in
n hand-to.hand conflict over the body
OF Ivey, who was unconscious. The
young men were brought TO Decatur
and placed in Jail. 1vey is at the
Laclede Hotel, and was thought to be
dying this evening. Woodland, who
has worked for farmers in Logan
county, stated McKim fred the first
shot without provocation for the pur-
pose Of robbing his partner, Ivey, and
that he (Woedard) did not shoot until
he thought McKim intended to kill
him. There were but SO 40 in the
party, about equally divided. McKim
alleges that his companions had made
it mp between them TO rob him OF his
watch and money.

But arbitration Is sanctioned now hy the

JACK RABBIT PLAGUE.-Stock men say
that jack rabbits Were never so numerous
since the settlement of the country by the
whites as at present. The pests not only
infest Nevada. but Utah and parts OF Idaho.
They swarm through the valleys and eat
more grass than all the herds and flocks in
the State They were nearly as numerous
ten or twelve years ago az they are now,
but then disease broke out among them
and their dead carcases strewed the plains
in many places. Some are of the opinion,
says the Steer State that the killing of coy
otes, on whose scalps the last Legislature
put a bounty, is partially responsible for
the increase of rabbits, while others say
that has very little to do with ii. At any
rate there is unanimous sentiment in
favor of the repeal of the Act which places
a price on coyote scalps by the next Legis-
lature.-l Eureka New Sentinel.

The RECoRD-UNIoN's article on Half
Breed Americanism has struck a popular
Sympathetic chord, and the press generally
is expressing its approval. The demand
for the elimination of halfbreed Amer
lean titles and half-breed Ameri-
can organizations should have reused
public attention long ago. Two years
since we treated of the same mat
ter under the title Clanishness." The
time is near at hand when Americanisrn
will become dominant. A man is either
an American citizen or he is not. There
is no middle estate. The sooner political
parties pronounce against the half-and-
half clubs that, seven times out of ten
are piece clubs, the better for them, for the
day will dawn when those who estimate
American citizenship at its full value, will
aDtagonIze any and all party organizations
that recognize any other or superior title
than that of American. We are gratifed
by the receipt of concentrations of the
stand taken, from naturalized citizens. The
truth is that the reform ought to begin
with them, and we believe it has already
vitality sufficient to frown down all and
any half-breed political associations. Let
US have political clubs by all means, but no
more of the natiye-American, Irish-Ameri-
can, German-American, Franco-American
side degrees The time is ripe for their
condemnation.

the thanks of those readers who forget I"

forgetfulness of what one reads is not
wholly loss or mental defect. Books of in
formation, he well says, must be remem-
bered, but literature is not information so
much as inspiration. Its object, like
that of music is not to convey knowledge,

PROFESSIONAL AGITATORs.

The Inter Ocean speaks of professional
anarchists, communists, socialists and agi-
tators. There are such. They are loudest
in complaining Of woes they never expert
ence and wrongs they never feel They
howl on Sunday afternoons on sandlots and
street corners they blaze out upon plat
forms at mass meetings; they faunt red
flags and shout for blood in anarchist pro-
cessions. They are ever to the fore with
resolutions, and their blatant, foul
mouthed vulgarity and threatenings are in
all ears. These fellows seldom work but
they are always well fed and well clad.
They pretend to be the representatives Of
labor interests, but in nine cases out of ten,
develop as enemies of our system of gov
eminent. As the Inter Ocean SAYS is the
case in Chicago, so it is here and every
where, " 1t matters not how carefully and
considerably laborers with grievances pro-
coed at first, they find as the contest grows
warm number of irresponsible men
sneaking into their councils, working their
way into their meetings, and claiming the
right to speak for them before the public
In this way it has happened that the earn
estness Of men who have real grievances,
has been turned to the advantage of, or
rather has been taken advantage of. by
men seeking to overthrow all government
and all regulations of society" The Off
cial testimony of Congressman Peck, of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics fer New
York, is that his research develops the
fact that the professional workingman
agitators are doing labor interests incalcu-
liable injury. These alleged laborers,"
he says, are bands of agita-
tors who manage to subsist upon
the prejudices of workingmen." OF
course these fellows have their own
purposes to attain, their own nests to
feather, or revenges to work They are
generally purchasable, and when blows
are dealt can be counted on at the rear.
The real Woodworking, honest handed
and big-hearted laboring people-the
toilers in shop, in store, in mine, at bench,
at forge, or in the hot atmosphere of con-
fined midnight work -rooms-haye no in
tention of assailing the Government.
They are as loyal TO law and order and
human rights as are any. Their claim OF
grievances they wish to make known in
appeals for the consideration of their
fellow-men and women, but they are not
those who demand the knife and the torch.
and breathe threatenings against society
and government. All that sort of thing
is left to the professional anarchist"
The misfortune is that so many workers
permit these cowardly assassins to pose in
their name, listen to their harangues, and
lead the world to believe-by their silence
that these windy hypocrites really rep
resent labor interests. The laboring men
should take the advice of the Inter Ocean,
and kick these professional blatherskites
and anarchists out of their meetings."
When they do that great wave of human
sympathy for every proven wrong under
which they suffer, will roll in upon the
toilers, and not until then.
