The Commissioners Shaggy Pets.

A dispatch from Washington says:
Internal Revenue Commissioner Mil
Ter has in the rear of his rooms at the
Hamilton house annex two little black
bears about six months old, which he
secured about week ago on one of
his trips into Virginia of sturdy
young countryman who had taken
them out of coy nook in the noun
tains while the old she bear was out
getting food The cubs are comical
little brutes, with only thin coat of
grizzly hair as yet, and with half
human look in their faces. They sleep
in a barrel well carpeted with straw,
and all the Congressman who live at
the Hamilton come over to the annex
after dinner and watch the cubs climb
up stepladder, bite each other, and
roll over and over on the concrete
walk The bears are named Romeo
and Juliet, and around the neck of
each is a collar bearing the name.
The greatest fun is TO see them box.
They evidently have u documentary
idea of the science which has flourish
ed so strong in Boston under the pa
tronage of John Lawrence Sullivan.
Juliet is quicker with her paws, but
Romeo is heavier and has more lasting
powers One of the savants in the
Smithsonian has already put in a
claim for the cubs when they get old
enough to be troublesome. The ami
mails will continue to be Oh exhibition

A Heartless Murder.

DR.. w. S. Hoy is in Jail at Point
Pleasant, w. Va, charged with the
brutal murder of Miss Julia Huskins,
who died Tuesday from the effects of
a pistol shot fired by Hoy. According
to sworn statement which the
young woman made to the prosecut-
ing attorney just before she died her
murder was of the most cold blooded
character. She says that the doctor
came to her home in the morning and
asked her to have q talk with him,
which she refused He returned in
the afternoon, and again being refused
a conversation, handed the woman a
letter in which he said he had made
up his mind to kill her, himself, and
her mother, the latter because she has
endeavored to estrange the girl from
the doctors attentions. After giving
her the letter, he asked her if she
would talk with him, when she said
no. and the doctor placed his re-
volver against her breast and fired.
The doctor is alleged to be guilty of
improper conduct with the girl in
times past, and her recent GOODNESS, at
the instigation of her mother, is said
to have been the occasion of the crime.

A Dangerous Maniac.

A neatly dressed young man entered
the panorama of Jerusalem at the
time of the crucifixion, in Chicago
Saturday night. He stood for some
moments looking as though dazed.
then facing the central figure of the
painting he dropped on his knees and
began to pray. His strange actions
attracted the notice of the thirty or
forty persons present. Suddenly he
arose to his feet and gazing at the
roof shouted Satan is trying to
mount with the angles" and drawing
a revolver, began to shoot at the inn
aginary devil in the roof. Frightened
spectators rushed from the building
and two officers rushed in. The maniac
turned and faced the policemen. God
has sent me on the brink of the abyss
he shouted, land unless kill the first
five policemen l see l will be hurled
to hell!'' He pointed his weapon at
one of them, but the other struck it
with his club and the bullet struck

A Remarkable Story.

mysteriously disappeared seven weeks
ago from his home at Canton, Ohio,
has just returned, ragged and dirty.
and relates a remarkable tale. He
says that on the day of his disappear
ance tramp approached him at the
Fort Wayne depot, and pulling out a
handkerchief held it to his face. He
became unconscious, and when he re
covered was in cattle car with three
tramps and two other boys. He was
kept in the car until Altoona, Pa,
was reached, when he and his compan-
ions were taken to house in the
woods where there were ten other BOYS
with tramps guarding them. The
youths had all been kidnapped and
held for ransom. All attempts at es-
cape were in vain, until one night, by
feigning sleep, he managed to elude
his captors and escaped. He was
pursued, and one of the tramps fired
shot that missed him. Young Lout-
zenhouser reached Altoona and in
formed the police, who arrested the
tramps and set the boys free.

He Shot the Villain.

d. b. Morgan, a well-known stock
raiser of Richie county, this State,
had occasion to suspect the fidelity of
his wife, one of the handsomest wo-
men in that locality One Robert
Clayton, young neighbor, was the
cause of Morgan's jealousy. A day or
two ago, upon returning home, Nor
gan found his wife missing, and. hav.
ing his suspicious aroused, followed
the path she had taken until he
reached the top of hill some distance
from the house. Here he suddenly
and Unexpectedly came upon Clayton
and Mrs. Morgan. As soon as Morgan
saw the guilty couple he began firing
at Clayton. At the second shot Clay
ton fell, but rose TO his feet again and
ran. Again Morgan shot, and again
Clayton fell. Morgan continued fir
ing until he had emptied the six
chambers of his pistol, by which time
Clayton had disappeared in the
woods. The woman also disappeared
and has not been seen since. There
is little doubt that Clayton has been
badly if not MORALLY wounded, and
is now either lying in the woods or in
the house of some friend Morgan.

A Desperate Captured.

Capt. ALI Burnett and two assist
ants, of Charleston, w. Va, have
been for several weeks on the trail of
David Straton, one of the leaders in
the Hatfield Mccoy feud. 1t was
learned that Straton was living on
the Kentucky side of the river at the
mouth of the Big Sandy. The detec-
tives on going for Straton and making
inquiries for him were told that he
was flat-boating. They went in search
of him, taking both sides of the river
and finally discovered him asleep on
the sand bar on Friday morning last
about daybreak, inside the West Nir-
ginia line, in company with Others.
They approached him cautiously, and
one of them jumped astride of his
body, and, placing the muzzle of re-
volver against his throat, ordered him
to throw his hands above his head.
Knowing that resistance was useless,
he complied with their orders and
was promptly handcuffed By his
side and under the cover where he
was sleeping was found a 45-calibre
Winchester rifle and 45-calibre Colts
navy revolver. He was taken to Logan
Court House by his captors and lodged
in Jail. He is noted everywhere as a
desperate and dangerous man, and
was tried four times for the murder
of John Thomas Moore in Cabell
county some years ago. The officers
exchanged some shots with scouts
and natives in Kentucky but none
took effect

Made Themselves at Home.

An amusing story of tramp adven-
ture come from East river, in the town
of Madison, Conn, where the pretty
Queen Anne cottage of ID. Nj. TIMBER
field, wealthy produce dealer of
Brooklyn, has been occupied by care
less, merry rovers for several weeks.
Mr.. Umberlield securely locked up the
cottage when he returned from the
shore last October, and it would have
been difficult at that time to effect an
entrance, but the blizzard of last
March crushed down the extensive
veranda so that one corner rested on
the ground. This made it very easy
to walk on the roof, thus slanting up
to the second-story windows, which
were unfastened. Recent develop
ments show that early in the present
month two tramps, in wandering over
the Shore Line Railroad, went down
to the beach, possibly, though it is
hardly probable, to take bath.
They climbed the roof at Umbertields
cottage, raised a window and got into
prettily furnished room. They took
fancy to the apartment and, eXplor-
ing further, saw it was a desirable
place of residence, even pack of
cards and cribbage board being
found. They decided TO remain.
Nobody was about there to prevent
them from having full control of the
premises, and when q ghboring
cottager appeared two weeks ago and
saw two cleanly-shaven men, dressed
in nice summer suits, (which,had been
found in Mr. Umberfeld's trunk, he
concluded that the Brooklyn man had
two tvros were seen Going in through
the window were the true facts sus
pected. The two tramps were watched,
and would have been arrested but for
the fact that they suddenly skipped
out.

A Great Lockout.

The iron manufacturers of Pitts
burg having insisted upon a reduc-
ton of their employees wages and re-
fused to sign the scale in force for
some time past, lockout was Satur-
day inaugurated, involving fully 1OO,-
900 workmen Furnaces and mills
were closed for an indefinite period
and the means of subsistence of some
5OO. 900 persons cut off. The lockout
will not be confined TO Pittsburg, but
will extend to every part of the coun-
try where a union belonging to the
Amalgamated Association is refused
the accustomed scale. The reason as
signed for the refusal TO pay the
wages the workers ask is the present
low price Of iron. There has been a
falling market for several months, so
that prices at present are lower than
the tariff would enable the manufac-
turers to get out of consumers if the
demand we're brisk. The usual profit
can be restored in two ways, by reduc-
ing wages, or by closing the mills and
furnaces till demand again presses
hard upon supply and puts up. prices
to the level of the tariff wall. The
iron-makers have combined the two
courses, by insisting upon lower wages
they have compelled their men to
strike. They carry their point by
proposing terms they know will not
be accepted, and thus throw 100000
men out of work until the necessities
of consumers force the latter to pay
for iron all that the tariff tax enables
the iron manufacturer TO charge.
That this is the programme, and that
the lockout is expected to last six
weeks, is indicated by the statement
of the chairman of the committee OF
the Western Iron Association. The
stock of iron, says the chairman OF
the association of employers, lis very
light. If the mills here remain idle
for six weeks we may expect to see
iron shipped to Pittsburg from the
East" When that begins it will be
because the increased price Justifies
such a movement of iron, and the
signing of the workmen's scale will
follow soon after. That the lockout
is not caused by the wages demanded,
but by the convenience of the mill
and furnace owners, is shown further
in the action of those who, without
any dispute about wages, have closed
their works for six or eight weeks,
nominally for repairs, but chiefly TO
restrict production and advance
prices. The case illustrates the evil
of the high-tariff system. If the iron
manufacturer Were not protected"
from foreign competition during July
and August, while he is waiting for
prices to come up to his idea of profits
his works would be continuously in
operation, and his workmen would
not be forced into idleness and want
for two months in the year. The pub
lie would get cheaper iron-and the
public would be benefited by it-and
at the same time the workingnen
would get steady work all the time.
At present everybody and everything
must serve the convenience of the
tariff lord. No matter who suffers he
is protected. '-BaHimOre Sun.

A Victory for Prohibition.

After the most exciting local option
fight ever known in Missouri the pro-
hibitionists of independence, the coun-
ty-seat of Jackson county, and the old
est town in Missouri won a great VIC
tory last week, carrying the election
by over 200 majority and ending the
sale of liquor for four years. Women
were everywhere, at the polls, at the
lunch stands and on street corners,
wearing silk badges and with dry
ballots in their hands. Girls stood at
the polls, and at every voting place
was u banner on which was Inscribed:
Temperance BeauX or No BeauX at
AL" Free dinners were served at
the polling places. Hundreds of chill
dren carried banners through the
streets and about the voting pre-
cincts Some of these were inscribed:
Sow Whiskey Ballots and Reap
Drunken Boys Young Men, Keep
Your Record Clean-J. b. Coughs
Rum, Revenue and Rags" Rum
Ruins the Reasoning" Vote as You
Pray For God, Home and Native
Land The legend, We Can't Vote,
But We Can Suffer" was carried by
the women in parade and occupied
a prominent place III each ward pre-
cinct. Many of the best people Of
the town were interested in the con
test, and it was no infrequent sight to
see young girls, with horse and phe-
ton covered with streamers, bringing
in young gentlemen TO vote for local
option. In the first ward, where there
was large colored population, il was
expected there won d be large wet >
majority, but both sides worked hard
and the dry gained u great victory.
1t was here the fight conferred and

THERE are many people who look
upon New York as being a doubtful
State, when the fact is that the Dem
ocrats have carried the State fifteen
times out of the last twenty-one cleo
tions. The Republicans have not
carried New York since 1881, and their
strength is being slapped by the rapid
growth of the prohibition party,
which many close observers think will
reach $4,000 votes this year. The
Democrats carried the State last year
by 1907 votes. New York is almost
certain to be Democratic this year.
