LONDON, July l2.-The Pail Maui
Gazette publishes some sensational CORE
spondence from Berlin under date of July
10, which is in effect that Friedrlchskron
palace at Pottsdam, where the Dowager
Empress Victoria is living is in all but in
a prison and that the ex-empress
is virtually under arrest. In any case she
is receiving scant consideration from the
men now in power. The presumed OBJ.
iect is to bring influences to bear upon
her majesty which will induce her to sur
render her husbands papers.
The 81. James Gazette says: 1t is semi
officially stated that the report published
by the Pail Mall Gazette to the effect
that the Dowager Empress Victoria is
virtually under arrest at Pottsdam is an
a~bominable fiction.

The Governor Refuses to Com
mute Brooks Sentence,
But Has Granted a Respite for
Four Weeks.
Great Damage Caused bYHeavy
Gales in the East.
Respite.

ST. LOUIS, July 1.-THE governor
this morning rendered his decision in
which he declines to grant a commuta-
ton of the sentence against Brooks alias
Maxwell, but granted a respite for four
weeks.
The first news Brooks received this
morning wa that the governor had
simply granted him II respite for twenty
eight days, This he construed to mean
that the governor intended to take time
to fully examine the case. Later Brooks
received a telegram from his attorney an.
nouncing a respite of four weeks and
stating that the governor refused abso-
lutely to commute his sentence or interfere
in the matter. This was a sad blow to
Brooks hopes, and he said he could not
understand it. He felt confident that the
governor would see his way clear and
grant his appeal for a Communication, but
now all hope was gone and he must pre-
pare for death.

Exciting Reception Given the Spanish,

Exciting Reception Given the Spanish
Conservative Leader at Madrid.
In anticipation of the arrival at Madrid
of Senior Canovas del Castillo from Sew
lille strong force of police and military
was posted along the streets through
which the Conservative leader was ex-;
pected to pass on his way from the railway
station to his residence. Thousands Of
Republicans collected at the station early,
and the arrival of Senior Canovas was the
signal for hostile outburst. The mob sur.
rounded and followed his carriage, hooting
and throwing stones. The windows of the
carriage were smashed by the flying mis-
siles. Sonora Canovas, who accompanied
her husband, was struck by stone, but was
not seriously injured. When the carriage
reached the Prado the gendarmes sur
rounded it in order to protect the occu-
pants from violence. Similar scenes Of
disorder occurred outside of the residences
of Senior Canovas. In order to escape
from the mob he drove to the house of his
brother in-law, the Marquis of Sotomayor.,
The crowd continued the demonstration
in front of the Conservative Club and the
Conservative journals. At the EpocG
building the mob again became violent,
and every window in the place was
smashed. Throughout the disturbance
there was no collision between the people
and the police, nor was there any fighting.
The agitation abated at midday, but there,
was renewal of, the demonstration at
o'clock in the afternoon, and the Conser-
vative Club was obliged to close its doors.

A MYSTERIOUS FIEND.
REPETITION OF THE wH1rECHAPEL
MURDERS IN LONDON.

A DissOlute Woman Again the Victim -
Horribly Mutllated "A Missouri Crime
Almost Forgotten Which Rivals 1t in
Atroci0usness.
London cablegraml
The Whitechapel murder fend has
added another to his list of victims. The
body Of woman cut into pieces was dis
covered in house on Dorset street, Spit
alfelds. The remains were INITIATED in
the same horrible manner as were those
of the women murdered in Whitechapel
The appearance of the remains was
frightful, and the mutilation was even
greater than in the previous cases. The
head had been severed and placed beneath
one of the arms. The ears and nose had
been cut off. The body had been disem-
boweled and the flesh was torn from the
thighs. The skin had been torn off the
forehead and checks. One hand had been
pushed into the stomach. The victim,
like oil the others, was disreputable
woman. She was married, and her hus-
band was porter. They had lived to-
gether at spasmodic intervals. Her name
is believed to have been Lizzie Fisher,
but to most of the habitues of the haunts
she visited she was known Us Mary
Jane. She had room in the house
where she was murdered. She carried a
latch-key, and no one knows at what
hour she entered the house that
night, and probably no one saw the
man who accompanied her. Therefore,
it is hardly likely that he will ever be
identified. He might easily have left the
house at any time between l and o'clock
in the morning without attracting atten-
ton. The doctors who examined'th the re-
mains refused to make any statement.
Three bloodhounds belonging to private
citizens were taken to the place where the
body lay and placed on the scent of the
murderer, but they were unable to keep it
for any great distance, and all hope of
running the assassin down with their as
sistance have been abandoned. Several
arrests have been made, amidst great ex-
element, but no proof has been brought
forward as to the guilt of the parties in
generated.

The Uncut Leaf.

One of the fossilized absurdities and
Inconvenience of our time is the uncut
leaf of the book or magazine. It
amounts simply to an unfinished book
or magazine. The trimming of each
book can be done by machine in the
fractional part of minute. The reader
is now required to do this part of the
publishers unfinished work. The Gus
tom is almost "early English" in its Or
igin, and dates back as far as the time
when the Englishmen hadn't many
printed books, and was so proud and
careful of his periodical as to want it
sent him with the leaves uncut as q
proof that no one had read it before him.
Two hundred and odd years ago it was
"big thing" to have any kind of
printed matter, and books weSe then re-
garded with actual reverence. But the
uncut leaf is one of the many barnacles
of custom and usage we stagger under
and endure, along with the idea still
current with class that a woman has
no head for business, or that mar can
learn no new art, trade, or profession
after so.

WON HIS WIFE!ON THE ELECTION.
An Old Man Bets His Daughter Against a.
Blacksmith Shop.


Blacksmith Shop. -
The most romantic story of an election,
bet comes from Broadbrook, Conn. George
w. Brown is blacksmith in Broadbrook,ii
and the smithy is his sole possession. Hel
is stanch Republican. For long time
he has paid court to young woman, the
daughter of a Democratic farmer, who
did not look with favor on the young man
because of his politics. Again and again
has Brown pleaded with the agricultur-
list for the hand of his fair daughter,
but invariably in vain. He received no
encouragement whatever, and in the heat
of one political argument not long ago the,
old man turned the young sutton from the
door and positively forbade him to ever
enter the house again. The next day thei
old man tried to invent some schemel
which would wrest from Brown his black
smith shop and compel him, through
poverty, to depart from the vicinity. HeI
felt sure of Cleveland being elected, and,
thoroughly imbued with the idea, he WIS.,
tied Browns shop.
young man." he said, It'll tell you
what I'll do. You want to marry my
daughter. I'll make you wager. If,
Harrison is elected she is yours; if not,
you can give me bill of sale Of this shop
and the tools, and forever quit the town. I"
George was only too glad of an oppor-
tunity to back up his political preferences
any way, and he accepted the farmer so
quickly that the old man was dazed. The
bill of sale was drawn up and signed, and
the farmer went home chuckling about
how easily he had obtained the little
blacksmith shop and rid himself Of the
youngster he disliked.
The rest of the story is soon told. AZ
ter the presentation of all the convincing
documents obtaiuable the old farmer has
given in, though insisting that trick has
been played upon him and that he is the
victim after oil. He has consented to his
daughters marriage with Brown, but in
sists that the wedding must not take
place until after Harrison is inaugurated.
The daughter and her lover deny that
there was any such clause in the contract
and propose to have the nuptial knot tied
