THE ONEIDA COMMUNITY.
This Celebrated Organization
Again Before the Courts.

This Celebrated Organization
Again Before the Courts.
Syracuse Journal. -
The case of Charles A. Burt against
the Oneida Community, limited, involves
about S50,0O0 in itself. and is OF special
interest from being test case for three
other plaintiffs against the community,
each for the same amount. Each of these
men was formerly member of the
days under the leadership of
George a. Campbell. About five
years ago they became dissat-
isfied with the conduct of affairs and
left, but for sometime afterward Burt
says that he returned some money OF
his private earnings to the common
treasurer at Oneida. Later they were
formally expelled, and soon the diSin-
tegrating forces which had been operat-
ing brought the collapse of the system
and its reorganization as a limited stock
company. The departed members,
however, did not receive a share in the
general division of property, and it is to
recover this that the action was brought
in the Madison county supreme court,
afterWard being referred to nj. NJ.
Waters of the firm of Waters IL Nc
Lehman, of Syracuse. The hearing was
postponed till March %. Charles A.
Burt, the plaintiff, is about thirty years
old, is well educated, and now lives in
Rochester. 1t was he who was chiefly
instrumental in bringing about the final
rupture in the community, and which
caused the flight of Mr.. Campbell to
Canada and the following reorganiza-
ton. He belonged to the community
from early childhood, and his youth was
connected with the branch at New
Haven, Conn. He showed cOnSidera-
bic aptneSS in his studies, and it was
decided by the rulers of the society to
give him higher education. Accord
ingly he was sent to Yale college, where
he was graduated, and then he was ap-
pointed on the corps of state engineers.
His intercourse with the outside world
gave him ideas of life which made
him disconnected with the questionable
social organization of the community,
and by private discussion with men,
bers this young engineer, with his SUI
peri0r advantages, sOwed the seeds of
the final disaster. He declined to yield
his will to the sway of the leader, and
soon there came an open outbreak be-
tween him and Campbell, resulting in
the withdrawal of Burt and the flight of
Campbell. At that time the value of
the common property was estimated at
about 100000, making Burt'S share not
far from $4,000.
The other plaintiffs, whose actions are
awaiting the result, are EraStus Van
Velzer, Charles Van Velzer and Fred
erick Norton.

BATHING AND BEAUTY.
How to Get and Retain Beauti
full and Healthy Complexion.

How to Get and Retain a Beauti-
full and Healthy Complexion.
Tepid water is preferable for every
season of the year. Milk baths have
been in favor from time immemorial
with ladies. and nothing is better than
a daily hot bath of milk. Nine. Tallien
was among the historical women who
bathed in milk, to which she added
crushed Strawberries to give it
an agreeable perfume. l have also
heard of an old lady of eighty
who retained a girlish complexion
like cream and roses by always
washing in the juice of crushed straw
berries and nothing else. But we can,
fortunately, keep our skins healthy and
fair without resorting to these extreme
measures. For a full-iength bath a
bag of bran will soften the water and
make the skin dellcately smooth and
fair; but let me here remark that no
bath is perfect in its results
without the long and brisk fric-
ton of hands or coarse towel
afterward. Friction not only stimu-
lates circulation, but it makes the flesh
firm and polished like Parian marble.
1t is sometimes astonishing to see the
change made in an ugly skin by friction,
and any lady who wishes to possess
healthful body, firm to the touch and
fair to the eye, with the elasticity of
youth we'll prolonged into age, must
give willingly of her strength to the
daily task of rubbing the body thor
Oughly.

WASHINGTON, April "a. P. Brown,
of Washington, attorney for the Hast
ings & Dakota Railway company, ap-
peared before the house public lands
committee and made argument in the
interest of said road. He said that, al
though the railroad was not completed
within the terms of the grant, the gov
eminent stood by and permitted the
road to be completed without taking
any action towards restoring the lands
to the public domain, and he therefore
held that the government has no right
now to declare forfeiture. he es-
pecially animadverted against the Mac
Donald bill as compared with the land
bill as it forfeits from 10000 to 100000
more land than the Lind bill, mas
much as the Lind bill limits the forfeit
ure to lands certified to the company
since 1880. lie was sharply questioned
by Judge Macdonald, who called his at
tention to the fact that this company
has never operated mile of that road,
having solo it to the Milwaukee & st.
Paul before the road was completed and
kept the lands. The Judge also re-
minded him that the road was not in eX-
istence, the supreme court having adj
judged the charter forfeited for that
questionable transaction.

Wounds Her Husband.
STAFFORD SPRINGS, Conn.,, April g.
Mrs. George Johnson was arrested here
yesterday, charged with the shooting of
her husband, while he was asleep dur
ing the night. 1t is stated that domestic
troubles had existed between the two
for some time, owing, it is said, to john
son paying attentions to other women.
The couple retired early Oh the night of
the tragedy. About midnight johnson
was awakened by sudden shock, suf-
fering intense pain. His wife was not
beside him, but his cries for assistance
brought her from an adjoining room.
and also aroused some neighbOrS who
tors, upon examination, found that
johnson had been shot, the bullet hay
ing entered the body just below the
tenth rib. They probed for the ball,
but were unable to extract it. johnson
is in very critical condition, and there
is no hope for his recovery. The au-
thorities were notified and Deputy
Sheriff Fisk, accompanied by an excited
crowd of villagers, went to the house
where Mrs. johnson was arrested. She
at first resisted all attempts to search
her, but finally submitted. A22-calibre
revolver was found, tied securely to one
of her ankles. One chamber was empty.
She accounted for the possession of this
by saving that she had recently been
pursued by an unknown man and that
she had obtained it to protect herself.
She denied all knowledge of the shoot
ing of her husband. She was taken to
Jail and arraigned in court to-day.

GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION
OF the Manner in Which the
Adams Express Was Robbed.

ST. LOUIS, April Sin the Frother-
ingham damage suit against the Adams
Express company to-day the plaintiff
himself was the principal witness. He
gave minute description of the whole
affair, and especially entered into every
detail of the hour or more that he spent
with the Tobber in the car. He was
sent back time and again over his story
by his attorney, so that every point and
circumstance in the case might be
brought out and clearly understood. He
told how he admitted the rObber to his
car Oh written order purporting
to be, and as believed to be,
from J. B. Barrat, his superior
officer set him to work as directed by the
order, how he was, later Oh, suddenly
confronted by the man, diSarmed, COM
PEELED to look down the muZZle OF re-
volver. and was finally bound to the
iron safe in the car. The description
was graphic and the scene was greatly
heightened and intensified by the wit
ness illustrating how he was handled
and dashed to his safe, the safe having
been brought into the court room for
that purpose. His return to st. Louis
and his report OF the matter to Supt.
Damset were given in the same detail,
and added that in his statements to
newspaper men he did not tell his full
story because he was instructed by the
detectives to leave certain parts out,
one of which was the offer to him by the
robber of $4,000 if he would not aid the
officers in his capture, OF would give
false description of him.

The Bond Purchase Bill Passed
Wilson on the Presidents Mes
sage.
WASHINGTON, April 5.--The principal
feature in the proceedings of the senate
to-day was the passage of the Spooner
substitute for the bond purchase bill
with the Beck silver amendment. The
senate referred to the committee on
printing a proposal from the Dominion
of Canada for direct and immediate
interchange of parliamentary publica-
tions. A bill was passed removing the
political disabilities of William w.
Mackall, of Virginia. Mr.. Wilson, of
Iowa, addressed the senate on the preSi-
dents annual message. He eulogiZed
the various administrations Of the Re-
publican party, referring to them as
having effected successes, such as no
other party in the history of the nation
had done. The party, said the senator,
stood alone in its strength and beauty.
Whatever of danger was now meDaclng
the country came from sources other
than those embraced in q protective
policy; that policy had given to the
country strength and prosperity; it had
developed the resources of the
country, and had given employ
ment to its people. These things
could not have come from free trade.
He suggested the removal of the duty
on sugar and molaSSes. which amounted
to S5S,000,000 annually; he would admit
these articles from countries which re-
ciprocated by admitting American
products free of duty; bounty might
be paid to home producers OF sugar,
which would stimulate the production
of sorghum in the Western states. He
criticised the presidents suggestions on
wool. He said the president was not a
skillful. economic artist; that his hand
was not canning. He the senatOr)
would make reduction of the tax on
Intoxicating liquors to prevent the in
crease OF the surplus. and this would
not disturb the true industrial interests
of the country. At 3 O'clock the bond
purchase bill was again taken up. Mr..
Mcpherson withdrew his amendment
offered yesterday and the substitute as
amended by the Beck proposition was
agreed to. The bill was then read the
third time and passed. On motion of
Mr.. Beck the senate insisted on its
amendment to the bill, and MessrS.
Sherman, Allison and Beck were APP
pointed as the confreres on the part of
the senate. The bill providing for the
establishment of a bureau on animal in
dustry, facilitating the expectation of
live stock and to eXtirpate pleurO-
pneumonia was taken up and read, to-
gether with the report accompanying it.
After some discussion the bill was laid
aside without action, and the senate
went into executive session and at
%. m. adjourned.
