The Whitechspel Murder.

man was arres ted in London in connec.
tion with the Wbitechapel crimes. He gave
his name as DR.. Kumblety of New York. He
could not be held on suspicion, but the police
succeeded in getting him under the special
law passed soon after the modern Babylon"
exposure.
Billy Pinkertown. the detective, of Chicago
noticing the account Of the arrest of "Dr.
Klumblety'' in London as the supposed mur-
derer of the Whitechapel victims, gaveeome
"reminiscences of the man who was well
known in this country by the name of DR..
Twomblety. Pinkerton first met him in
Washington when he was employed as gov
ernment detective in 1861. Twomblety was
then known as vender of patent medicine,
and was placed under surveillance by the
army authorities for distributing so-called
medical works, among the soldiers,~ which
were very obscene books, tending to lower
the morals of men. 1t became so unpleasant
for him that he left Washington and went
to New York. He practiced certain name
less things, which caused him to be hunted
out of every place in which he made his up
pearance, and Pinkerton several years after
wards ran across the same fellow in all the
principal cities and towns of the Union from
New York to San Francisco. In 1874 he
saw him in England-in Liverpool and Lon
don. He says:
"People familiar with the history of the
man always talked Of him as brute, and as
brutal in his actions. He was known as o
thorough woman hater, and as man who
never associated with or mixed with women
of any kind. 1t is claimed that he was edu-
Gated as q surgeon in Canada, and he was
said to have been quite an expert in surgical
operations"
"Dn you think heis the man who commit,
ted the Whitechapei murders and that he Is
insane?'
Yes, do. think man guilty Of such.
practices as he IL known to have been, -.is
insaDe. DR.. Hammond Surgeon General
Hammond-some time ago, when asked as
to whether or not he Thought that the
Whitechapel murderer was an insane man,
said that when the murderer Of those women
was discovered he would undoubtedly be
found to be Q woman hater and man
guilty of the same practices which / have
described DR.. Twombley, or Tumblety as
being guilty OF, and that such men were
Grassy and as likely a. not to murder
women.

From the St. Louis Spectator.
Who ever has studied mans earth
" tenure and the causes which tend
to lengthen or curtail it viii have
scarcely failed to notice how contra
dictory is the evidence of those we
naturally look to to explain them,
and that their evidence, even when
they agree. does not always accord
with what would seem to be facts, as
they appear around us. One
authority says general physical de-
velopment is necessary to prolong
life. while another insists this is not
necessary, if the days employment
does not call for physical exertion. DR.
d. B. Richardson, an eminent English
authority declares among many obvi-
GUS though scarcely novel prorosi-
tions, that everything that quickens
the action of the heart, any kind of
excitement, taxes and reduces the
storage of life. If this were said of
those naturally feeble, or inheriting
disease, or even of those leading sed-
entary lives, and living from day to
day without the invigorating bene-
fits of fresh air and exercise, it would
seem reasonable, for one does not
have to be a skillful psychologist to
know that excitement affects the
nerves as well as the heart. But is
the statement strictly true when re-
ferring, as here, to the entire human
family? Surely, soldiers engaged in
actual warfare, and soldiers in peace
as well, live among excitements, be-
sides being notoriously adj
dicted to indulgencies as
drinking and smoking, yet
they are long-lived. Statistics show
it, and observations corroborate
them. The pension list of the British
army, giving the ages of the bene-
ficiaries, men who have served in all
climates from twenty to forty years,
and excluding those pensioned sooner
because of wounds received while in
the performance of duty" shows
that soldiers do not die as other
men do; SO it is with the naval pen
sioners of the Greenwich hospital,
now scattered over Great Britain be-
cause of it's abolishment. In the
merchant service to day it is no un-
common thing to find a man 20 years
old in charge of vessel-a post re-
quiring activity of body as well as of
mind. And in New York we have the
proof near us, for at Sailors Snug
Hardor, on Staten Island, are 600
aged but for the most part hearty
sailors. Most of these are between
70 and 80; active old fellows they
are, with clear minds andgood appe-
tites. They will tell you they are not
by any means the sole survivors of
our one time merchant fleet; that
many, if not most of their mates are
yet living, but distributed over the
country, living with their grandchil-
dren, perhaps worrying for a living,
or engaged in other employments
along a water 'front.' From this it
would appear that sound human
body can endure hunger and expos
sure and even frequent excitement; if
only there is plenty OF fresh air and
exercise of a vigorous kind thrown

Emperor william Peaceful.


The German reichstag reassembled ON the
23d. Emperor William opened the session
in person. In his speech he said that the
tours he had recently made had convinced
him that the desire for imperial unity was
deeply rooted in the people. He referred to
the inclusion Of Hamburg and Bremen in the
German customs union, and to the conclu-
sion of q commercial convention with Switzer-
land. He was gratified to know that trade
had improved. and said that the prospect of
higher prices for farming products justified
the hope of an improvement in agriculture.
He emphasized the pacific character of Ger
many's foreign relations and policy, and
said that his visits abroad, which had
been undertaken with q view to effect
ing an understanding in the interests Of
peace, had caused universal confidence in the
maintenance of peace. The emperor made
no reference to any military bills or credits,
and touched but briefly upon East African
affairs. The emperor says: do not hope to
Danish from the world, by means of legis-
but l consider it the duty of the gov
ernment to alleviate the same. Germany's
relations with all the foreign powers are
peaceful and my efforts to strengthen such
peace are unceasing. The alliance with Italy
and Austria has no other object. To bring
unnecessarily un the miseries Of even victori-
GUS war upon Germany is Incompatible
with my Christian faith and my duties to-
ward the German people Actuated by
these feelings, considered it my duty after
my accession to the throne to personally
greet our allies and also the friendly neigh
boring monarchs, and seek to establish COR
dial relations between them and Germany.
The confidence extended to me and my policy
everywhere visited justifes the hope that /
and our alleis are the friends of peace.
When the emperor entered the cham
ber of the reichstag he was received
with cheering and his speech was heartily
applauded. When he retired the empe.'
was given an ovation by the members, al,
whom remained standing until he had GO.
The president then called the body to order
and the budget was presented. It balances
at 949, los, ,9O7 marks. It includes ap-
preparations for the several new
war ships to be built in ad-
dition to those already building.
The additions comprise four iron clads, nine
smaller armed vessels, seven corvettes, four
cruisers, two dispatch boats and two torpedo
boats The budget COMMITTEES announced
that the existing war ships were still service
able but were becoming unadapted to the
times. Therefore they urged the necessity Of
creating the: nucleus Of 6rst-class navy,
comprising ships Of from 5000 to 10000
tons, expending under this head / 16, 500, 900
marks, to be distributed over period Of ten
years. The budget also provides for increas-
Ing the army and expending 1000, 900
marks, mainly for victualing purposes.

Condition Of the National Treasury.


United States Treasurer Hyatt, in his re
port for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1888,
says:
The net revenue of the government for the
year was $379, ,266 .O74, and the net expendi-
lures $267, 924 sol, the surplus receipts
available for the reduction of the public debt
being $11 ,341 ,273 an increase of 81 $40, ,l75
1887. the revenues were 81 ,852, ,897 greater
and the expenditures ~ ,278 less. The treas
ury balance increased during the year from
$69, ,224, ,379 to $129, 9,SO4 ,242. The net
change of $6O.579, ,863 in the balance was
produced by an increase of $37 ,526, 1853 in
in the liabilities. The silver balance fell
of more than $27 100000. The prin-
cipal increase OF assets was in United States
and deposits in national banks. and the prin-
cipal decrease of liabilities in the public debt
and the funds for the redemption of national
$74.798, 800 during the fiscal year in the
principal of the interest bearing debt. The
total purchases on bonds for the sinking
fund and out of surplus revenue were $751;
464 300. the net premium paid, exclusive OF
accrued interest, being $S.270. .842.46.
The gold and silver coin and
Of % notes Is and and 'o certificates sA' outstanding M s
on June 80, 1887, amounted to 81 $685.

O93, ,562. .O72 The stock of gold and silver
increased during the year from ST.
OO7. .513, ,9O1 to 81 ,O92 ,391, ,69O.35, mostly
in gold. The increase in the volume of the
paper circulation was $S3, ,424. 400, resulting
from an increase of $11O,319,9 ,955 in the
amount of certificates and falling off Of
$26, ,895, ,554 ,55 in the total notes and frac-
tional currency. The redemptions Of United
States notes at the treasury during the year
amounted to $63 .352 900. Since the resump-
tion of specie payments only $26, 736, 454
have been redeemed in gold. With the in
crease of coin certificates, of which there are
now more than of legal tenders, the import
ance of the latter in the circulation has
declined. The denominations below SO
are being displaced by silver certificates,
and those above 500 largely by gold csrtif-
Gates; The volume of gold certificates out
standing increased $40. .536 ,333, reaching
$142, ,O23, $50, the highest point yet noted
at the end of any fiscal year. Taking into
account the decrease of the amount in the
treasury the total increase of the circulation
was $29, ,9O1, ,143. There were issued $685.
500, 900 of silver certificates, mostly of the
denomination of $40 and under, and $21,-
947, 1878 were redeemed. The amount out
standing increased from $145, ,543, $50 to
1929 ,4O1 ,772. The increase in the actual
circulation was $58. .431. .7O7. 1t had been
impossible to meet the demand for the de-
nominations of 81 and 81, and in consequence
1887, and Feb. 8, 1888. Since the latter
date the treasurer has been able most of the
time to furnish them as they have been
asked for. The coinage of silver dollars
during the year amounted to $32, ,484 ,673,
making the total coinage $299, 9,424, 79O.
The increase of the net distributions was only
$39, ,156.

London was thrown into intense excite
ment again by the report that another vic
tim had fallen under the hand of the White
chapel ghoul. The police Immediately cut
off communication with that quarter.
Crowds of people gathered to learn oil the
CHASTITY "details of the tenth murder and
mutilation, but it was all a good deal of a
ssscare." No murder was committed, but
one was attempted and frustrated. Accord
ing to the story of the woman upon whom
the assault was made, the man had accom-
panied her to her room struck her once with
q knife but was frightened away by her cries
for help. The woman claims to be fully able
to identify the man.
The police are 10th to believe that this at
tempt was made by the original murderer,
and many are of the opinion that the woman,
who is of the very lowest class OF abandoned
creatures, inflicted the wound herself while
drum k, as she only sustained slight abra-
sion of the throat.
The principal reason given by the police for
their belief that the mornings attempted
murder was not the work of the real White
chaple fend, is the fact that both the would
be murderer and his intended victim drank
themselves into q state of inebriety, a cOndi-
ton that the perpetrator of the previous
crimes was obviously free from, and then went
to an ordinary lodging house, at the door of
which government inspector is always in
attendance. This circumstance, together
with the fact that the time of attempting to
kill the woman was as illjudged with refer
ence to the escape of the murderer as the
place, induces the belief that the man is a
maudlin imitator of Jack the Ripper" who
will be exceedingly unlikely to. repeat his
performance. Nevertheless, if he is caught in
the vicinity Of Spitalfelds, be will certainly
be lynched. 1t is significant, however, that,
in spite of the asseYerations of their con-
viction that the assault upon the woman can
not be connected with the chain of White
chapel butcheries, the police are. if possible,
putting forth greater exertiOn than ever to
accomplish the arrest of her assilant. The
really interesting incident OF the day is
another letter from "Jack, the Ripper, -
dated Portsmouth. Here it is:
Dear Boss:
'sIt is no good for you to look for me. in
London, because / am not there. Dom t
trouble yourself about me till return, which
will not be very long. like the work too
well to leave it long. Oh, that was such q
jolly job, the last one. / had plenty of time
to do it properly. Ha! Hal The next lot
mean to do with a vengeance-to cutof their
