The Mysterious London Fiend.

Some years ago Frenchman terrorized
the people of Paris by committing series
of diabolical crimes. He murdered more
than dozen women, at different times, and
always in the same manner. The mystery
as to his identity was deep, and the feeling
among the women was Of that unpleasant
character which takes possession of a per-
son when rejecting that it may be his or
her turn next to be the victim of an afro
cious crime. The murderer was finally
brought to light, quite by accident, and ar
rested. He Is said to have been perfectly
sane, and to have expressed a sense of relief
that he was caught, as he would have con-
tinued his ghastly work if he had not been
The tiend who is engaged in numbering
people in London will probably equal the
Frenchmans record If he is not brought to
bay. He has just added another to the list
of his crimes, making in all five murders he
has committed in that city lately. Like his
brother murderer in Paris, his victims are
women. He is evidently an artist in his
work. No ordinary butcher could execute
it as he does, and it is said that nothing but
years of study and practice spent over the
dissecting table could enable him to cut up
the victims in the scientific way he does.
All of the bodies are treated exactly alike
The chest and abdomen are cut open.
and the heart, liver, kidneys
and lungs are removed, and
placed in q row beside the corpse. The
intestines are taken out, and are arranged
in fantastic scllops around the body, big
bowknot made of them being placed above
the head, which is nearly severed from the
body. All of this is done with horrible neat
ness.
The theory most generally accepted in
London is that the murderer is an insane
surgeon. Whether this theory is correct or
not, tee city is said to have become ter
rorized, and, particularly since the last
murder, people glance nervously behind
them when they go out at night, and ap-
proach every street corner with evident
trepidation. In the meantime, the mystery
and the murders continue, and the detec-
tives of Scotland Yard seem powerless to
| do ANYTHING to bring relief to the peOple

1t must be humliating to Mr.. Randall to
read paragraphs such as this in the Phila-
delphia Press, one of the leading republican
organs: THE mails just now are plenti-
fully sprinkled with copies of the great
speech which Samuel J. Randall delivered
against the Mills bill on May Is last, in the
House of Representatives. 1t is an excel
lent speech, and every patriotic citizen
should read it, but it is not being distributed
by the democratic campaign committee. "
Nobody has ever questioned the sincerely
of Mr. Randall's position on the tariff, but
when his speeches on that subject are dis
tributed far and wide as republican cam
paign documents, doesn't he think it is
about time to give an unprejudiced study
to the plan of tariff reform proposed by
his party. and to join the great majority of
democrats in their fight for that reformi

It is no difficult thing for dentist TO
press prominent teeth into place by rub
Der wedges and metal clamps without
pain. The long upper lips which n. P.
Willis derided so pitilessly in a woman
because it is a sign of such a sullen te-
nacity and GOODNESS of nature, is more
difficult TO treat. But it accompanies a
nose not so long as it should be. and the
facial artist would remedy the lip by
bringing the nose down. Do not deride
or say impossible, for the thing is done.
There are several physicians who reft
noses and correct their deformities. The
interior of the nose is deadened with co.
caine. the lining or mucous membrane
turned back and superfuous tissues cut
away. and a splint or saddle fixed TO the
bridge TO make it. while healing, the de-
sired shape. When the large end OF
blunt noses becomes deformity. he cuts
them through with q thin bladed knife
and applies the saddle. In no case is the
operation serious, there is no scar, and
photographs show nothing to be desired
after the operation. Long. prominent
noses are Of all others the easiest TO be
taught their duty. as all they require is
the splint without surgery. With a nose
in proportion the lips adjust themselves
and contract from necessity in most cases
