GREEN EYED MONSTER.
Charles Sweikart, a Divorced
Husband,
Attempts to Murder His Former
Wife.
He Kills Her Supposed Lover
and Commits Suicide.
Murder and Suicide.

DENVER, March I9.-The insane ieal-
ousy Of Chas. Sweigkart, a German about
40 years Of age, was the cause of a tragedy
at noon to-day, which resulted in the muir
der OF George Kramer and the suicide of
Sweigkart. The latter was divorced from
his wife two years ago in this city, since
when he has been residing in Utah. He
returned from there this morning, went
to a boarding house kept by his late wife
three miles from the city, and demanded
breakfast. The woman refused, saying
her attorney had advised her to have
nothing to do with him. He immediate
ly drew a revolver and fired three shots at
her without effect. The woman ran
screaming from the house, Sweigkart fol-
lowing her. She jumped into the hack
standing in front of the door in which the
mar had driven to the house. The dri-
yer put the whip to the horses and drove
rapidly away, but not before the insane
mar fired three shots into the carriage,
neither of which harmed the woman. He
then returned to the house and opened
fire on Chas. Realm and George Krei-
ner, two boarders who had just entered
the house for dinner. The formers right
arm was broken, while Kreiner received
a ball through the temple and died in
stantly. Swegikart then pointed the re-
volver at his own head and sent a ball
crashing through his skull, scattering
brains and bones all over the room. The
murdered man had boarded in the Sweig-
kart family for ten years, and the opinion
is that the latter thought improper rela-
tions existed between Mrs. Sweigkart and
Kreiner, and it so worked upon his mind
ii drove him to the deed. The woman
denies that any relations of the kind ex-
listed between them.

Curiosities of friendship would cover
nearly all cases of noted masculine or
feminine affiuities the world has known.
The law that governs friendship has often
been stated. a general impression is that
opposites match, mate and cooperate more
readily than similar Compartments.
Goethe could form a friendship most
readily with children. Strong natures
like pliable natures. Highly intellectual
people find necessary rest with those Of
less intellect and more emotion. There

Bell Triumphant.

WASHINGTON, March l9.-The su-
preme court this morning delivered an
opinion in the Bell telephone case. In
considering the question of alleged antici-
patton of Bells invention by the tele-
phone of Refs, in Germany, the court
holds that Refs discovered a means of
transmitting musical tones and nothing
more. Bells patent being for the pro-
cess or art of transmitting speech, would
have been Just as valid even if he had
used the apparatus of Refs in developing
it. The court holds that the apparatus of
Refs was not successful in transmitting
speech, and that this invention was not in
any respect an anticipation of the discov-
cry Of Bell. All points thus far consid-
cred in the courts opinion, in the tele-
phone case, have been decided in favor of
Bell, including the points set up in the
claims of Refs, Vanderweide and Melon
ough.
The court holds that the force of the
testimony showing that Drawbaugh had
telephones in use before the invention of
Bell, is completely broken by his W
conduct and indifference which he mani
Tested with regard to his alleged invention
until years after Bells telephones were
known to the whole world. D~rawbaugh's
claim Is declared to be u~nsustained. The
decisions as announced are all in favor of
the Bell Telephone company on all points
and in all of the cases.
Justice Bradley read a decision dis.
senting from the decision of the court.
Justices Field and Harlan also dissent,
and Justices Gray and Lamar did not sit
in the case. The Bell patents were there
fore sustained by a majority of l, the
court standing 4 to 3.
Justice Blatchford in reviewing the
charge of fraud and collision in the
patent Office. by means of which Bell, it
ID alleged, obtained surreptitious informa-
ton with regard to the invention of his
rivals and then amended his W specif-
cations, held that there was not the
slightest evidence to support this charge
or to cast the least reflection upon the in
tegrity of Bell OF his attorneys.
The dissent of Justices Bradley, Field
and Harlan in the telephone cases is
based upon the Drawbaugh claim. These
three justices are of the opinion that the
evidence overwhelmingly shows that
Drawbaugh was the first inventor of the
speaking telephone, although he was I'M
conscious of 1t, and was not aware of its
importance.

China papers confirm the reports of the
disastrous earthquake in the province of
Yunnan and Sychuen, but give few adj

EnIarging Yellowstone Park.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Henderson is much interested in the pres
ervation of Yellowstone park, and will
endeavor to have his bill relating thereto
passed at this session. He says that the
object of first importance in maintaining
the Yellowstone park, from an economic
point of view, is the preservation of the
forests which now cover the park plateau
and the adjacent mountains. The main
tenance of the timber near the headwaters
OF the large streams of the country is
everywhere attracting attention, and it is
now very generally admitted that certain
restrictions III the removal of forests is
demanded by the public welfare and de-
serving the consideration of congress.
The area of country which it is pro-
posed to add to the park, the director of
geological survey says, is singularly well
adapted for the storage of water. No
region in the Northern Rocky mountains
possesses the same favorable conditions
for receiving and distributin; a magnif-
cent water supply. For the preservation
of this water in this natural reservoir the
dense timber which covers the region is
OF Immense value.
The senator also urges that the present
limits of the park are far too small for a
ShoioidCtoTy Rduue pTeScTNc IL IL Is lulcUu
cd to make the place one where large
game will naturally roam, particularly
when driven in from outside for protec-
ton. The proposed extension of the
park will take in an area of country
Astounding in wild game of all kinds. By
adding this area to the park and rigidly
enforcing the game laws it is thought the
whole country will soon abound in nearly
all species of game found in the Rocky
mountains and will soon be so densely
stocked that the surplus seeking new
haunts will run outside ofthe park limits,
atfording abundant sport for the true
hunter.
In the measure urged by the senator it
is proposed to make the northern bound
airy of the park coincide with the bound
airy of Wyoming and Montana, making
the forty-ffth parallel of latitude the
northern boundary of the park. The
western boundary is made to coincide
with the boundary between Wyoming and
Idaho and Montana. In eating off the
narrow strips of territory in Montana and
Idaho nothing is lost to the park in the
way of natural .curiosities or striking
scenery calling for protection.
The southern boundary is extended to
the forty fourth parallel of latitude, which
carries the area of the reservation south
ward MN and one half miles. The east
ern boundary is made to coincide with
the meridian of 1902, 80 minutes, adding
a belt of country about twenty five miles
In width along the entire eastern side of
the park. The entire area added to the
park is about 1000 square miles.

Emperor Frederick's Message.

BELIN, March l9.-Thc royal message
was read in the Prussian landtag in united
session to-day. 1t is countersigned by all
the ministers. 1t says: I'VE, Frederick,
by the grace of God king of Prussia,
hereby proclaim and make known that it
having pleased God after the demise of
emperor and king William, our much be-
loved father, to call us to the throne of
our ancestors, we herewith send to the
landtag our greeting. The sentiments and
purposes with which we enter upon our
government and the principles on which
We would exercise our royal office have
been proclaimed by us to our faithful peo-
pie. Walking in the paths of our glori-
GUS father, we shall know no other aim
than the happiness and welfare of the
tatherland by conscientiously observing
the constitution, fully guarding all prerog-
atlyes OF the crown and royalty co-operat-
ing with the national representation. The
king hopes, with Gods help, to attain his
object, which is the happiness and welfare
of the country. The condition of his
health prevents him from taking the oath
personally. Desiring to declare without
delay his position regarding constitutional
laws, although this could admit of no
doubt, he sOlemnly undertakes to adhere
to the constitution, firmly and inviolably,
and TO rule in conformity with the laws.
The setting was invested with unusual
interest and the galleries o~verfowed with
visitors as soon as the members had as
sembled. Prince Bismarck, accompanied
by all the ministers of state, entered the
hall and read the message.
When the chancellor had ceased read
ing, Duke Won Ratibor, president of the
upper house, said that it was not within
his province to say how each house would
reply to the message. He would now
simply ask the assemblage to mark the
kings faithful attachment and devotion
and unite in the cry of Long live King
Frederick" The cheer was then repeat
ed: The diet forthwith adjourned.
In a proclamation issued by Emperor
Frederick and countersigned by Hohen-
loe, reference is made to Alsace and
Lorraine in the following language: 1.-THE
union of Alsace andLoraine, which lapse
of years annot impair, again becomes as
intimate as it was in the time of our an
cestors before these German lands were
severed from the ancient ard glorious
union Of their kindred ~countrymen."

In a paper on the strength Of different
Kinds OF wood for building purposes,
Professor johnson calls attention to the
fact, as now demonstrated, that many
cheaper kinds of timber may prove more
valuable for structures than more ex-
pensive varieties, which have been SUD-
posed to be stronger, and, therefore,
more desirable. Thus, pine supports or
pillars have been found stronger than
oak ones, when tested in large samples.
