The time of the tramping Of the
tramps has come, and the
good housewife meets them
at the door with generous slices of
bread and butter, and fragrant cups
Of hot coffee. And we tramp marks
the Intel of the good woman's house,
so that when his brother passes by he
will know that an angel of mercy
dwells in that house, and he calleth
also on the good woman. and demands
hot coffee and preserves on his bread
and butter; and every day after his
brother and his sisters. and his cous-
ins and his aunts call at the door of
the good, kind woman and share her
hot coffee, cakes and pies and other
good things. And this is the way
the tramp is fed and fattened through
the summer.

A PITIFUL TRAGEDY.
MURDER AND SUICIDE BY CHILD
LOVER


WATERLOO, I'LL. October Further
particulars have been received of a double
tragedy at Chalfin Bridge, Monroe county,
Ill. Eddie Clark was only II years old,
and Melissa Foultz not yet IS. She was
still wearing short dresses and nothing
but girl in her actions, and he was still
a boy, a razor never having touched his
face. The girls brother Chris, Jr., was
married to the boys sister Efie, and the
two families were on the best of terms,
and lived on adjoining farms.
Ellie and Melissa went to the same
school, recited in the same classes and al
ways walked home together, Eddie living
nearly mile further from school but on
the same road. A year ago they became
very much attached to each other and
during the summer vacation they were
not much together but when school
opened again few weeks ago Melissa
was different girl from what she was
few months before She told him that
she was not old enough to have a lover.
Her mother had told her so and she did
not want him to bother her any more.
From this moment the boys whole char
acter was changed. He told some OF
his comrades that he was
GOING TO KILL MELISSA AND HIMSELF,
but they only laughed at him and no one
thought he would attempt anything of the
kind. In the afternoon he stopped Melissa
rs she was walking home from school with
several other children and said: Melissa,
you remember what | told you at Mays
ville?" And without waiting for an answer
he drew a pistol from his pocket and fired
at her. Twice he fired in quick succession
and the poor girl dropped dead with two
bullets in her head. The other children
ran away screaming and the maddened
lover knelt beside the corpse of his sweet
heart kissed her forehead and thenputting
the pistol to his own head fired twice and
fell by her side in dying condition both
balls having entered his brain. He linger-
ed five hours before dying but never recOv-
cred consciousness. The funerals will be
held together to-day.

One Dollar Certificates

WASHINGTON, ID. c., October 1.-The
United States Treaurer to-day issued the
following notice in regard to the issue OF
one dollar cert ;ficates: Owing to the
great demand for other denominations OF
notes the Treasurer of the United States
is unable to supply one dollar notes eX-
cept in small amounts. In order to satisfy
rs far as possible the public demand, II
has been decided to furnish from this office
those notes in sums of 81 900 to each bank
making application and at the same time
depOsiting that sum with the Assistant
Treasurer at,,New York
Upon receipt of the certificate of deposit
a like sum will be forwarded at the eN-
pense of the banks making application. In
order to effect an equitable distribution as
far rs possible, applicants will obtain these
rates in the order in which deposits are
made ut the sub-treasury at New York,
until further notice. No second appllcar
ton will be granted until the supply oi
notes is adequate to meet all current de
mandS

ST. PETERSBURG, October 1.-The Rus
sian newspapers generally express them
selves as satisfied with the action Of Cener-
al Kaplbars in Bulgaria. The Noroe Tre~ys
says: Nothing remains for the Bulgarian
Regents but to bow to Russia's will, unless
it be to force Russia to adopt measures TO
render it materially impossible for the Re-
gents to prevent Russia's wishes from being
realized. The election of o new Prince in
Bulgaria will be impossible until the proper
relations which should exist between Gen.
Kaulbars and the Bulgarian Government
be restored"
The Noposti says: General Kaulbars'
demands are most moderate. The Regents
would yield at once if they loved peace
and honestly desired Russian friendship"
The Tcedomosti says it doubts the stats
ment that General Kaulbars advised the
Bulgarians to apply to the other Powers
for their approval Of Russia's demands.
"Russia's authority" the Tieoiomosfi says,
"even when speaking or acting independ-
emily, holds good in Bulgaria and through
our Slavdom."
The Moscow Gazette publishes the state
ment that thirty Bulgarians have been re
Gently whipped to death, by order Of Gov
ernment officials, for expressing sympathy
with Russia.

SECRETARY MANNING.
HE ENLISTED FOR THE WAR; AND WILL
STAND BY THE SHIP"
He Will Not Resign His Position as Secretary Of the
Treasury, at Least Until he Has Given His
Strength Fair Trial-McPhersOn
VIII Not Succeed Him.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October 1.-The
Star tonight says: At the Treasury De
partment there seems to be no Importance
attached to the report that the President
has offered the Secretaryship Of the Treas
ury to Senator Mcpherson. 1t may be
stated with certainty that Secretary Man.
ming is going back to the Treasury. He
has decided to remain at the head of the
Department so long as his health will per-
NIT him to do so, even to the end of Mr..
Cleveland's term When the members of
Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet accepted their
appointments it was with the understand
ing that they
ENLISTED FOR THE WAR;"
that they would remain in the Cabinet
until the end of the term. A Democratic
administration was an experiment, and
many serious obstacles had to be over
come, and stability was necessary. 1t was
important that there should be no
breaking up of the Cabinet. They had to
work together, come what might, to carry
into effect Democratic measures and
make the administration a success. Ot
course such calamity as the illness
of Mr.. Manning was not taken into consid-
Grafton. When he was in such condition
that it was uncertain whether or not he
would recover, and was obliged to leave
the Department it seemed his retirement
could not be avoided. Consequently his
resignation was sent in. Now he has ap-
porently recovered his health and he Is
willing and
DESIRES TO "sTAND BY THE SHIP"
and see the administration through if his
physical condition will admit of it. He
would put himself to great personal incon-
venience to do this. His absence would
be serious loss to the Cabinet, and Mr..
Cleveland would feel it keenly. OF course
as friend Mr.. Cleveland would not urge
upon him too strongly to remain if it in
volved injury to his health, but he will do
all he can to retain his services without
taxing his strength. 1t may
be said with certainty that MIR.
Manning will make the trial. Those who
are in position to be best informed on the
situation, do not think that Senator Me
Pherson will be the Secretary of the Treas
ury should Mr. Manning find by expe-
rence that his retirement from active life
is necessary to his health. At any rate is
stated that Secretary Manning
WILL GIVE HIMSELF A FAIR TRIAL
and it is the general impression that under
any circumstances he will not resign until
after the November election. The Presi-
dent will then be better able to judge OF
the status of the administration before the
people, and to make suitable selection OF
another Cabinet officer.

Again In Trouble for Alleged Robbery Of

Of Lynchburg, Va, has been working for

and then, having sl4.2O left, he though,
he would 20 TO his home, and began max.

morning about o'clock Mays was In

line. While in the saloon Mays asked one
of the McManawsy boys TO get a railroad
ticket for him, If he could do 50 for $12 oi
S13 While they were talking Leon Van
Walt, who was hanging about the saloon,
stepped up, and addressing the negro,
said: II can get you a ticket for $40, but
You had better give me all the money, and

A GREAT LOCKOUT.
Chicago Packers Combine To Fight the
Ten-Honr System.

Chicago Packers Combine to Fight the
Ten-Honr system.
CHICAGO, October 1.-The statement is
published this afternoon that q great lock
out at the stock yards has been decided
upon some time during this month, when
the packing houses will all close down
and remain closed until the question OF
eight hours or ten hours is settled. One
of the large packers said this morning:
Trouble is of course expected. Ii will
be long fight, but We can't run on eight
hours with the other houses around us
running ten hours. SO the trouble might
as well come at once as to drag along un-
til we are compelled to shut down by
losses 1t is likely that several Of the
houses will start up in a small way on the
ten-hour schedule and make the fight"
The Chicago Packing and Provision
Company has already shut down for re-
pairs. That is what all the packing COM
pany officers says and this is probably the
secret of the denial of the packers that this
is TO be ''lOck out" The houses will
shut down one after another for repairs.
When they open it will be on the ten
hours time or not at all At this time of
the year, il iS'eustOmary for all the houses
which have been running all summer to
shut down for repairs. This October,
however, the shutdown will be significant.
II will afford the houses the opportunity
to throw on their men the onus Of the
fighting. The houses will be closed.
Those who apply for work can go to work
at ten hours day or they can stay out.
Meanwhile all the houses at Kansas City,
Omaha, Milwaukee, Springfield, st. Louis
and elsewhere will be running day and
night.
The fact of the lockout is authoritative. So
is the fact that the packers are all acting
together. There is no doubt at all about
there being concert OF action, yet the pack
erS are all reticent, and some Of them deny
the fact so glibly that no one not versed
in their ways their denials would be ac-
cepted. There is, however no doubt that
the lockout is agreed to, and preparations
are going forward to make long and
stubborn fight for the ten-hOur question.
A hog buyer said this morning: There
is plainly something in the wind at the
stock yards, but just what it is nobody
knows. The houses are going to close down
very soon. They can better afford to make
the fight in October than in November.
Hogs are high now, and by shutting down
and enforcing the ten-hour fight, the pack
ers would really make their expenses by
the depression in the price OF hogs" About
twelve thousand people will be deprived OF
employment by the great lockout, and it Is
expected they will offer a stubborn resist
ance.
