The Mourning of the Poor.


 Nothing is more pitiful than the ernblems of mourning of the very poor. On one side of the doorway of one of the most poverty stricken and repellant tenement houses bit of white mourning futtered in the bitter winter air. It was cheap mourning, and therefore more mournful than any other. Composed of a rosette of coaEse muslin, with a painfully small knot of the poorest white satin ribbon, it told it's story of destitution more forcibly than language could possibly portray it. The hall was a mass of snow and ice. Its door stood wide open, and no tunnel could be colder. Every window in the mis- erable building was dark and dirty as a coal mine. Yet, within these hideous walls human beings lived, suffered and died. Who could help looking upon that pathetic bit of mourn ing and keep from saying: "It is well with the child. He will walk in no evil ways; he will know no evil thought; he will do no evil deed."-New York Press ''Every Day Talk"

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclu-
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. 1t is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown by slight tickling sensation
in the throat and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed TO
proceed will in time cause death. At
the onset You must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go without
your attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. AS soon as you
feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ
tain a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will give you immediate
relief.

ESPECIAL TO THE AST0RIAN.)
CHICAGO, July 17.-By bold and
timely action inspector Bonfield this
morning, saved the lives of himself
and judges Garry and Grinnel.
In small frame house near the
corner of Ashland avenue and 33rd
ST., were found II dynamite bombs, a
revolver and knife, and as the owner
OF the articles stepped to the sidewalk
he was arrested by Bonfeld in person
and taken to the police station. Two
other arrests were made later. When
questioned as to what the prisoners
intended to do Bonfield confined him
to saying: "There was q conspiracy
of long standing and it was about to
be put into execution. They intend
ed to use dynamite on Judge Garry,
judge Grinnel and myself"
The chief prisoner is an old time
anarchist and was prominent in the
schemes OF the Haymarket times in
May '86. Before first making the ar
rest Bonfield had the house sur
rounded by five picked officers.
Just as daylight was. breaking the
inspector was joined in the vicinity
by a stranger and a few moments
later man emerged from the house.
The stranger nudged Bonfeld and the
order was given to the officers to close
in on the man. He made desperate
fight but was quickly overpowered and
placed in charge of two officers. Bon
field and the other officers then
rushed into the house. They were
met on the stairs by the wife of the
man who had been captured but she
was brushed aside and the police
officer guided by the stranger. entered
the next room, where hidden away in
one corner the inspector found over a
dozen OF dynamite cartridges wrap
ped in brown paper. Further search
OF the room disclosed hidden in the
bed large revolver and a dagger.
Some bundles of letters and other
papers were also taken care of by the
police. Then the patrol wagon was
called and the prisoner was taken to
the station. The police officers next
went to 3016 Queen ST., here two
other arrests were made and all the
captures were taken to the central
station. Inspector Bonfeld said the
plot was well arranged one. About
20 determined murderers were in the
conspiracy, and they were at acertain
hour after midnight to be at the
house of Grinnell, Judge Garry, in
spector Bonfeld, Frank Walker and
Gen. Stiles and others prominent in
the prosecution of the Haymarket
assassins.
| The dynamite was to be placed be-
meath the houses of these, and a
powerful explosive was to be touched
off simultaneously.
| The board of trade building was to
be blown to the sky at the same time

Fashion,

upon the female sex, in the way of dress.
First it is one freak, and then another,

small wonder that many women
succumb, and that "female weak
nesses" are the too frequent result.

THERE are as many ways to sell a
milk-shake in Pittsburg as to skin a
cat in Kerry. The law in that Penn
sylvania city prohibits the sale of milk
on Sunday, but permits it to be de-

therefore buys his milk-shake on a

erek to him on Sunday. 1t is a pretty

It is unjust of him to write as he does concerning Mir. Randall's position on the tariff, and that he should lug in the Dred Scott decision, the resolu- tions of '9s, and tho Missouri con- promise as he docs, Is breach of jour- nalistic courtesy, which we were not prepared to expect from one so emi- nent in letters, of the composite order, as this same editor of the NeDs, and were 1t not for the cultivation of that spirit of friendship and comity, which we hope to see grow more luxuriantly than ever among the contemporary press, some of the innuendoes and other uncalled-fo and gratuitous sugges- tions used and which are unworthy of the NeWs, we would, if we had time, gently but defantly hurl back. The editors position that there are herds of elephants In circuses now travelling, each and every individual elephant thereof being larger than Jumbo, is cruel, misleading and rep rehensible, and the declaration that China has produced louder Tyre than that which Sappho struck, or larger enc than cS- own Ell Perkins, is carry ing matters with a hand altogether too high. Higher, in fact, than four aces and the "cuter."

 Mir. Duke was blacksmith and a very handsome, de6ondir man. In his blacksmith-shop he had clothes closet and neat room supplied with all the conveniences and necessaries for making an elaborate toilet and when he quit work he would repair to his dressing room and come out shortly afterward elegantly dressed, though always after the negltge style.
 MT. Duke had one very bad habit, which eventually did him great in- jury. He had penchant for killing people, and he indulged in the pro- clivity so much that Mt. Sterling and the region of country about there was unable to gain much in the way of population. Duke killed seven men in personal encounter, inside of two years. He would insult his man so fiagrantly that a blow would follow and then Mir. Duke would kill his vic tim in "self defense".
 Wm. $. Barnes, the we'll known turfman and owner of a large stable of the finest race horses in the coun- try, was then boy about eighteen, and one day MT. Duke took it in his head that he would kill Billy Barnes.
 Everybody called Mir. Barnes "Billy" in those days.
 Mir. Barnes took a double barreled shotgun, rammed some powder and slugs and such things in 1t and when MT. Duke came toward Barnes place of business the next morning, Barnes stepped out on the sidewalk and let Orlando Duke have the contents of both barrels of that fowling- piece plump in the diaphragm, and Mir. Duke quit killing people then and the census of Mt. Sterling get another chance to boom little.
 MT. Barnes is in Chicago now with his horses. He looks fat, hearty, jolly, genial, brave and handsome, and is all these things and more too, and his thousands of friends are glad that Or lando Duke didn't prepare Billy Barnes for centre of attraction at an aristocratic funeral, twenty odd yesrs ago, in the blue grass region of Ken lucky.
