They Were All Willing 10 Steal

IT EoHl tHe CH1caBO NeWS1 In little downtown saloon yesterday more than dozen men tried to sneak an elegant ivory handled umbrella which leaned against white maple panel st the end of the bar Although several of the men were evidently experts, not one could manage to secure it. Whenever the bartender caught gentleman ill the act, and he managed to catch them all, he put up glasses for himself and the dishonest patron, for which the patron al- ways paid.
 Stormy weather outside" remarked well dressed man, catching sight of the um- brella and moving toward it.
 Another seltzer and lemon, and take something yourself" remarked the custom CT, cordially. Then hand slipped down behind the pleasant gentleman's coat tails and began groping around. Pretty soon it touched the panel, and moved cautiously across it's polished surface. It didn't find anything, and the gentleman who owned it stopped whisthng and grew red in the face. lie coughed violently, and walked to the oth- CT end ot the bar to expectorate. On his way back he glanced sharply at the panel and saw leaning against it the ivory-handled um- orella The performance was repeated The stranger was beginning to show signs of hay ing an epileptic fit when the bartender lean- ed over and said dryly:
 Cant you get it?''
 'tAhem, well-ah, you know-my um- brena-you see," gasped the gentleman
 "Yes, it's daisy, ain'tita Jim, the night bartender put her there. He's got tal- ent." The umbrella was painted on the panel.

could see, the first glance revealing two Mex jeans leisurely cooking their breakfast in the very heart of the ravine. It needed but instant for Tobin to see that the grim, cop per-visaged old man so carefully broiling his antelope steak on the coals was none other than Espinosa, who might we'll have been christened the "Red Handed" Making up his mind in instant, Tobin said to his companions: 'I1l shoot at the old man. You aim at the young onel"
 These instructions, Tobin afterward ex- plained, were given because he knew his friend was poor shot, and he felt sure that his own aim was better directed upon Colo rado's arch fend Both men raised their guns, both fired, and the unsuspecting father of murder, old Espinosa, fell the red coals lifeless corpse. In exact accordance with the notions of Tobin, the other mans aim failed in it's purpose, only wounding the young Mexican, upon whom Tobin soon drew his gun and dispatched as quickly as he had done the elder. The intrepid Tobin then sent his companion to look after their horse, which they had left some rods away, and, without any witnesses save heaven and the blood stained rocks of the ravine, deliberate ly severed old Espinosa's head from his body, drew the long black hair up over his scalp, tied it in a knot, and, making his way to the spot where his friend was standing with the horses, stuck his saddle horn through the knot of hair and rode into Fort
 
 siasm, ex-Governor Gilpin, then the Cover nor of the territory, being there with sol diers, all of whom gave Tobin a hearty re- ception.
 The reward offered for Espinosa was large, but Tobin had great difficulty in securing it. One legislature after another considered, or pretended to consider his claim in a weary, 'circumlocution office" kind of way, the years, slipping by in the meantime without Tobins having received a cent. In the end however, he received half the sum offered which was a very considerable amount. To bin is an old hunter and trapper, and one of the central figures in Colorado's early nisto- ". He visited Denver two years ago, but spends most of his time in his old haunts Kit Carson's son married his daughter and lives in the same section, having been recent ly elected sheriff of the county.
 As for Espinosa he was born desperado, who never plundered, and who did not com init murders as the means of gratifying re- venge, but simply, it is thought, because ''he had fancy for the tragic" It is singular fact that he never robbed the men he murdered money and valuables having been frequently found on their dead bod ies. His character is one of the most stri- king of any desperado's ever heard of in the West, and his memory still lives in the hearts of a score of early pioneers, who, for period of two years, never lay down to sleep at night without dreading his ap- proach

 Some satisfactory trials have recently been made at Liverpool with a new electrical sub marine vessel the invention of MT. J. F. Wad- dington, of Birkenhead. The vessel, which is cigar shaped, is thirty feet long and six feet in diameter at the center, tapering off to the ends, which are pointed. A con- ming tower is mounted on the top of the boat, and her depth of immersion below the water surface is regulated by external in clined planes placed on either side and con- trolled from within. She is fitted with g rudder placed aft, and has a selfacting arrangement for preserving her hori- zontal position. The crew consists of two men, and there is supply of compressed air for their use when the boat re- mains submerged for a heightened period. The motive power is electricity, which is stored board in fifty of the Electrical Power and Storage company cells. These drive screw propeller and it is stated that their charge is sufficient to propel the boat for ten hours at speed of about nine miles per hour, either below the water or on its surface. The cells also supply light through glow lamps and drive pump for emptying the water ballast tanks which are filled for submerging the boats.

ARBITRATION IN ENGLAND.


 Arbitration in disputes between employ CTS and employees has not been very syste- matically tried in this country, but it has in England. Our consul at Tunstal sends to the State department some interesting infor- nation concerning the "Board of Concilia- ton and Arbitration" maintained by the Stafordshire china and earthenware manu- lecturers.
 This board consists of ten employers and ten operatives, chosen by their own bodies annually, four of each to constitute quo rum. An umpire, president, vice presi- dent and two secretaries, one for the employ CTS and one for the operatives, are chosen by the board and hold office for year; the board and all its officers are eligible for re- election. Meetings are held quarterly, though on seven days notice and at the request of three members a special meeting can be call ed. The parties to any dispute intended to be submitted to the board agree, if possible, to joint written statement of the case; if they cannot agree each party submits writ ten statement, and each may adduce oral evidence. The umpire presides 8. all sit tings when cases are submitted which con- cern the whole trade or affect the interest of a whole branch, and his decision and award are final and binding upon both parties. Disputes arising at any individual manufac- tory and not affecting whole branch are re- ferred to committee of four from the board, two employers and two operatives; if this copmittee cannot agree they send the case to a referee; if they fail to agree upon ref cree, the umpire makes the appointment, and the decision of the appointee is final. The umpire has full authority to verify any fig ures or statements made in evidence, provid- ing such verifcation does not interfere with or expose the private business of any firm; and such verifcation is made through & sworn accountant appointed by and respon sible to the umpire, and it is disclosed to no other person.
 This scheme of arbitration has worked pretty we'll, much better, it is believed, than strikes and boycotts would have worked.

Dante Gabriel ROssettI.


 From his very earliest days he had the desire to become a painter, and in due course of time he attended a we'll known art academy, and subsequently, the Royal Academy Antique school; but his efforts ftful aud great as was his desire to become an artist, he found at times the necessary technical difficulties almost too great to be overcome. Never thoroughly grounded in draughtsmanship, he felt the want of such education to the 1ast and there are few pictures, indeed, by the great colorist which are free from faults of draw ing. As boy he had great love for ami mals, taste that never left him., and the child used to be delighted with pet dor mouse, which he kept in the drawer of cabinet, so the man was interested through many years in a long succession of pets, ranging from little downy owl, all head, to woodchucks and wombats and armadilloes. But if Dante Gabriel Rosetti was slow in quiring mastery over the technicalities of art, this was not the case in literature, for when he was eighteen he had proved himself an able and sympathetic translator, and when he was nineteen he wrote poem beautiful in it's way and as mature in mental grasp and technical execution as any lyric of his later years. This, of course, was the fla nous Blessed Damozel," probably much the most widely known of all his poems. It has nothing to do with any real instance af fecting the author, but is piece of pure i'm agination, yet this does not initiate against its fascinating most readers by its spiritual yearning and human love much by it's lyric grace. Some time subsequent to this he painted his first oil picture, the often re- ferred to ''Girlhood of Virgin Nary" which, though somewhat crude in expression and faint in color, very remarkable for it's earnest gravity and purpose at a time when such qualities were apparently in general alien to English art. At the time of paint ing the ''Girlhood' Rossetti and Holman Hunt worked in a stulio together, and it shortly before this that the famous Pre-Ra- phaelite brotherhood was formed, and their magazine, the Germ, started on its short ca reeer; but it is impracticable to refer further to these in the limited space at my dis osal, though I may state that I have elsewhere pionted out that this so-called pre-Raphael- ite movement, which has attracted so much interest and been so much misunderstood, did not really originate wholly and entirely in the studio in Newman street in 1S4S g, but was the outcome of the Tractarian move ment begun in Oxford, which itself arose out of the romanticism introduced into this country by Coleridge and others of his time.

The above in some measure explains the continuation of our business here beyond the time previously announced. Regrets having been so universally ex- pressed that our store should be closed, and no one having as yet made a lease of the prem ises, with MT. Russell's consent we shall remain a little longer to see whether someone will come forward to carry on the business. Meanwhile the clos ing out will continue. Our stock, though not half in volume what it once was, is still well assorted and whatever departments are depleted will at once be replen- ished with new and desirable goods. These will be marked on par with the low aprices-the very low prices-which have prevailed since our sale began. We expect to have a large trade, we cannot but have large trade, as we shall offer merchandise lower, great deal lower, than it could ordinarily he sold for. We shall not note any particular bar gains for this week, but on Mon- day we shall have a great many special inducements to offer.

The results obtained by various American and foreign scientists in their attempts to as- certain, by careful and prolonged observa- ton, the daily increase of the earths mass from the falling upon it of meteors and cos mical dust are interesting Briefly, these ob- ssrvations indicate that about four hundred and fifty thousand meteors fall upon the sur face of the whole earth every hour, the aver age weight of these bodies being about four grains each, the total representing nearly five thousand pounds per hour,o fraction short of sixty tons every twenty-four hours. It is remarked that such an amount of material falling thus daily is certainly no small in- crease to the earth's mass, and for this 1n- crease the earths attraction is considered re- sponsible to the extent of twenty per cent. :; the balance of eighty per cent, it is alleged,

The story is retold that Herr Most, the an archist, was a spy in the Austrian secret ser vice when he figured in Austria as the head of the socialists of the empire, and was paid large sum in gold for furnishing the gov ernment the names and residences of the leading socialists. The Springfield Republi- can which has been intimately connected with full blown Nihilist, says: "Many refu- gees from Europe believe that he has acted as spy in this country also, and that par tieularly by ingratiating himself with Mini lists he has been enabled to furnish the Rus sian government with information which has sent many revolutionsts and relations of revolutionists in Russia to Siberia" This is easily believeable.

The Providence Journal thinks that the selfshness of trade unions may make it nec- essary to establish 8 society for the proven tion of cruelty to workingmen. When that society is established it will find something to do in New Haven.
 We hear that there is dissatisfaction with some of the 'committses" which have been trying to disorganize this town in the name of organized labor Some of their dsluded followers think that they have not shown ability enough in engineering strikes and boycotts. 1t is not surprising that this dis satisfaction exists.
 In Chicago one of the demands of the brewers men was for free beer at 6, 8 and il am. and ? and 4 p.m., no one person to drink more than three glasses at one time. The brewers surrendered and each employe can now have fifteen glasses of beer to drink daily. Thus does one branch of the great labor movement progress.
