eyes: Harry, you will take me to break
fast; mean You no HARM He repulsed
her and started for the elevator. She fol-
lowed, and, overtaking him, drew a revol-
yer aud shot him in the mouth. He stag
gered away, but she followed and fired
three more shots, when he fell down the
stairs leading to the rotunda, dying i'm
mediately. She rushed after him with the
smoking revolver in her hand, and, kneel-
ing by his side. sobbed 'srve murdered

paid off and 800 of that number will find
themselves out of employment, with poor
prospect of getting anything to do during

ties between Gov. Guy, of the Chickasaw
nation, and the Byrd faction is reported.
At the suggestion of Guy conference was
held at Tishomingo Saturday, which re-
suited in the withdrawal of both Guy and
Byrd and the agreement to substitute for
the office of governor Chief Wolff, one of
the second chiefs. The partisans on both

The long felt want of New York for
grand consei vatory of music, it is report
ed, is soon to be supplied. Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie, it is said, has been the prime
mover in furhering the project Ever
since he was elected president of the Ora
torio society he has sought for some way
in which to make an acknowledgment of
the honor. The disbanding of Theodore
Thomas orchestra made him more anxious
to establish big conservatory. In order
to get their views Mr.. Carnegie has held
several consultations with the directors of
the Philharmonic, Arion and other socie
ties over the matter with Mr.. Thomas,
Walter Damrosch and number of lead
ing musical critics. They are all united,
it is said, in praising the plan, and gave
Mr.. Carnegie assurances of the hearty
cooperation and support of those they
represented. The conservatory will not be
for the use Of any organization, but shall
be owned and controlled by all. Those
iIterested will decide upon leader for the
orchestra, This will probably be Walter
Damrosch OF Theodore Thomas.
Complications for the Incoming Congress.
serious International trouble is on be-
tween Peru and the government of the
United States. The circumstances are
these: On the assumption that the house
at Mollendo belonged to the Arequipa rail-
way and was therefore the property of the
state, orders were given to occupy it by
force, although the building was declared to
belong to citizen of the United States.
The United States consulate wa. situated
in the building and this was torcibly
closed, padlocked, the coat -arms re-
moved, and the agent prevented from en-
tering his Office for nearly week. The
American minister at Lima, who protested
against the seizure of the house on receipt
of the intelligence of this aggression,
cabled to his government and was instant
ly instructed to demand an apology. The
house was vacated after six days oc-
cupation, but the government peremptorily
refused to make an apology and rather up
hold their proceedings. On this the min
lister telegraphed intelligence of the re-
fusal, and the department of state at
Washington ordered him to forward full
particulars of the affair before taking fur
ther steps. The recently effected treaty
| between the United States and Peru, as
well as International law. secures from
outrage and any sort of interference all
consular archives and property, and unless
Peru can show some more plausible rea
son than mistaken assumption for violat-
| ing the consular privilege, and that, too,
! in the face of warning protest from the
minister, it is difficult to see how that gov
/ eminent can avoid serious misunderstand-
| ings with the United States.

man and say that the Milwaukee millers
would consider any stfaight-cut PROPOSE
ton. In spite of the inference which
might be drawn from the instructions it is
not very likely that the Milwaukee millers
will enter the trust. They allege that the
present trouble was brought on by the
Minneapolis millers buying wheat at big
prices and manufacturing it into -four.
Now that the market is glutted they want
the Milwaukee men to come to their re-
lief. 4The -four trade is stagnant, p" said
prominent miller. There has been an
oyerproduction. Little -four, compare
lively, is being bought. The present
price is all right, but it is hard to sell.
There is no chance for export trade be-
cause wheat here is so high and ocean
freights have advanced. The course of
the Minneapolis millers during the recent
wheat corner has done much to bring
about the present state of the market.
They have been manufacturing at the rate
of from It's, 900 to $4,000 barrels day.
Now they don't know what to do with it.

Steam Barge Destroyed.

The steamboat H. s. Hubbel was burned
off Point au Barque, about twenty five
miles south of Manistique. The vessel
was light and was moving along to the
north at good speed and with one watch
of the crew asleep, when kerosene lamp
in the cooks galley exploded, scattering
the blazing oil in all directions. The
alarm was at once given but the stiff
breeze blowing at the time spread the fire
very fast and forced the men quickly into
the boats while the vessel drifted on her
way i'll blaze from end to end. The
steamer New Orleans picked up the crew
of the burned vessel. The Hubbel was
owned by Capt. Flood, the commander,
and johnson, Spray & Co., of Chicago.
She was valued at perhaps 1885, 900, her in
surance, it is reported, being $4,000

Attacked by Hyenas.
Sunday George Alton, an employee Of
the greatest show, met with severe ac-
cident at the enclosure of the Bridgeport,
Conn, winter quarters. The wild animals
are now being transferred from the travel
ing cages into temporary dens, while the
former are undergoing annual repairs. A
large cage wagon containing hyenas was
backed up near the menagerie building and
the front wheels were cramped under,
causing the heavy wagon to be easily
thrown out of balance. During the noon
hour, while most all of the employees were
away, George Alton began fooling with the
hyenas. The savage beasts suddenly made
rush toward him, which overturned the
cage, pinning Alton to the ground under
meath. William Newman, the keeper of
the elephants, heard the peculiar tones of
laughing the hyenas utter when attacking
prey, and rushed out to find Alton under
the cage and the hyenas savagely laughing,
biting and tearing his clothes. Newman,
unable to extricate Alton, hurried the ele-
plants, Gypsy and Juno, out of the pen,
ordering them to lift the cage, which they
did with their trunks. Alton was fear
fully cut about the scalp, and was taken to
the Bridgeport hospital, where it was found
his skull was cracked.

The Farmers elevator at Devils Lake
was burned and all the wheat in it was also
consumed. The managers had been pur-
chasing low grade wheat and paying the
same for it as high grade, and it would
have been impossible for them to have re-
covered the amount which they had paid
out for the grain. 1t was fully insured
and talk of incendiarism is very strong.

The Month of Mary.

To write anything new about the
Month Of Mary is almost to bring drop
OF water to the sea; and yet, however
much has been written on the subject,
little in reality has been said, If COM
pared to what should be said. for it is an
abyss; the more is drawn from it, the
more evident its inexhaustibility ap-
pears.
From the beginning of Christianity
the most eminent Saints and Doctors of
the church, both in the East and West,
have consecrated to Mary's praises and
glory, their minds, their hearts, their
elOquence, their talents, their genius.
To exhalt and to sing the Holy name of
Mary was their delight. st. Basil never
was more gifted, more sublime in his
prOdigious elOquence. then when he
spoke Of Mary's grandeurs. st. John
ChrysOstome, called the golden mouthed
from his unparalleled elOquence, never
used more golden words than when dis
cOursiDg Of the glorious titles of the
Mother of God whom he used to address
again and again, with unspeakable sati-
sfactiOn, as the Holy one, the Immacu.
late, the blessed one among all women.
the Virgin Mother, more honored than
the Cherubim, more exhalted incompar-
ably. than the Seraphim-
Now during this month which is
especially cOnserated to Mary Immacu-
late, We cah do no better than to walk
in the footsteps Of the Saints and cOntri-
butte our share in the glorious hymn Of
praises which eighteen centuries have
not ceased to sing in honor Of our Holy
Mother.
WhOsoever therefore, feels In his breast
that he is a child of Mary, not ready vet
to disOwn his noble origin, nor willing
to fOrego his glorious destinies; for the
sake Of that Heavenly Mother Of ours,
let him associate himself hearths to the
joys of the happy family, now mOving &
from all quarters towards the alter OF
Mary; and if there be no sign of this
filial movement, let him not rest until
he has created one, and the smile Of
Mary will more than repay him for this
will-timed proof of zeal.-Morning Star.

Preserving Country Records.

The records of every parish ought to
be duplicated to such an extent that no
possible calamity would leave the people
without a copy. There is no more GER
tain or ecOnO mical method Of securing
records from annihilation than by print
ing them. All the talk Of photography
taking the place of printing in this mat
ter is absurd. The type process is the
cheapest and the best, and we fully agree
with the remarks of the San Joe (Cal9
Mercury on this subject. 1t says: The
question of the preservation Of public
records has always been in more or less
perplexing difficulties. Their liabilities
to destruction by fire is always imminent.
even in the secure fireproof vaults, and
then other courses, such as dampness, fad
ing ink, the wear Of frequent use, etc.,
are constantly at work effacing and obi
iterating to the end Of total destruction.
The trouble and cost to community by
the destruction of the records Of a great
city, like that by the Chicago fire, can
hardly be estimated in dollars and cents.
Now there is no safe and economical re-
medy for this, which the people are blind
to their own interest not to adopt. It
simply consists in printing the recores,
which could be done for less sum than
than it now costs to record them. They
should be printed in large clear type
from day to day as received, and upon
sheets properly ranged and numbered
for binding. To save all costs Of copying.
h printing should be done from the ori.

thus working great saving in the mat

Of plainness and convenience for refer

ment. And then, by duplicating copies
the liability to destruction by fire would
be wholly obvisted. Bankers, real estate
dealers, searchers Of records and others
would gladly pay for cOpies:for their OWL
use, thereby reducing the cost Of th,
work to the country. We would under
