dynamite fiend, John Hronek, began In
Judge Collins court Tuesday.
States Attorney Longeneker made brief
opening address for the prosecution He ex.
planned why Sevic, Capek and Chleboun, the
other conspirators, were not on trinl, saying
that they had been granted separ ate trials,
and that Chleboun would testify against his
comrades. It would be shown, he said, that
three of the men deliberately sat down and
discussed plan to blow up the homes OF
Judges Gary aud Grinnell and Inspector
Bonfeld, and that immense quantities OF
dynamite were found in their possession. He
went on to state that Hronek had photo
graphs Of the intended victims, and that the
conspirators went to the homes of the officials
in order to become acquainted wi tn the sur
roundings.

SHERIDAN ON WAR,
His Opinion of 1t Expressed in His
Memoirs.

Memoirs.
New York, Nov 90 1t is always inter
esting to know what a man thinks Of his
own profession. Here is what Gen. Sheri-
dan thought Of war, as expressed in his
memoirs, just published;
II do not hold war to mean simply that
lines Of men shall engage each other in battle
and material interests be ignored This is
but duel in which one combatant seeks the
others life; war means much more, and is
far worse than this. Those who rest at
home in peace and plenty see but little of the
horrors attending such duel and even
grow indifferent to them as the struggle
goes on, contenting themselves with encour.

sit is another matter, however, when de-
privntion and suffering are brought to their
own doors Then the case appears much
graver, for the loss of property weighs
heavy with the most of mankind; heavier
often than the sacrifices made on the field Of
battle. Death is popularity considered the
maximum of punishment in war, but it is
not; reduction to poverty brings prayers for
peace more surely and more quickly than
does the dstruction of human life, as the
selfishness OF man has demonstrated in more
than one great conflict

THE WARRGN-HAvl.IN FIGHT.
The WeR known Feathsr-Weights Fight in
eFriscn-Marran XYins


eFriscO-Warren Wins.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 99.-Jack Havlin
;.;;.l. Tommy Warren, the feather, weights,
had a fight TO finish Tuesday night in the
rooms OF the California Athletic club, for
purse of 81 900 Over one thousand persons
paid fancy prices to see the battle 1t was q
pretty one sided fight all the way through,
in favor of Warren. Haviin occasionally
got in good work, but the severity of his
training having reduced his weight from l3i
to IlS pounds, told on him terribly. Warren
got first blood and two knock downs in
rapid succession in the fourth round.
Havin rallied in the seventh round and
again in the Nineteenth round, and each time
got in some savage work, but he was too
badly used up to last,
The last few rounds were the most brutal
ever seen ia this city. 1t was evident to
every one that Havlin had no possible
chance of winning. In the twenty first
round he wss knocked down twice, and after
that he was scarcely able to strike a blow.
Warren was apparently almost as fresh as at
the beginning OF the fight, "a swollen lip
being the only mark on his face, while Hav-
Inns lips aud eyes were terribly swollen, and
blood was pouring from his face and from
the front part OF his body. In the twenty
second round Havln was knocked down
once, and in the next round five times. In
she twenty .fourth round he was hardly able
to stand, and Warren knocked him down
SIX times. He came forward gamely for
the twenty fifth, hut was hardly on his feet
before Warren sent him under the ropes. He
again stood up only TO be again knocked
down. He was unable again to respond when
time was called, and the fight was awarded
to Warren. No man in the ring, however,
ever displayed greater gameness than did

THINK G OF HIS DEAD.
a Brave Engineer UnwittingIy Meets a
Terrible Fate,

New York, Nov. 29.--Engineer Truck,
OF the Erie railroad, met terrible death at
Ridgewood Junction, N. j., early yesterday
morning, through temporary alteration Of
his mind, consequent upon terrible attic
tion to his little family. Nearly all of his
little children had been buried within the
past week and his wife lay at home danger
ously III.
Nevertheless, the stern demands of duty
compelled him to run his engine as usual.
At Ridgewood be stopped for train orders,
and leaving his engine started for the tee
graph Office. His mind was filled with
boundess grief for his dead loved ones, and
he failed to detect the near approach OF a
numbering freight train, going in another
direction. The engine struck him and the
wheels ground out the life blood OF the brave
fellow, leaving his suffering wife to bear the
crushing loss of the bread winner of the
family. She may not sustain the shock.

Painting the Baby's Face,

A letter from Paris informs us that the
doctors are again at war with silly
mothers belonging to the fashionable cir
Giles. The latest fanaticism of La Mode
is to apply the horrors of face painting to
little children. In the public gardens
babies Of 3 years old may now he seen
whose eyebrows have been BACKED or
dyed by their senseless mothers. Other
anxious parents, distressed at the vul-
carly rudy and rustic hue of their chill
dren's cheeks, carefully powder them
before sending them forth to meet the
gaze and criticism Of the world. Little
coquettes of 10 years are not permitted
to go abroad until the regulation black
stroke has been painted beneath their
eyes. The doctors warn the mothers
that when the children thus barbarously
treated reach the age of 10 they will
have colorless and ruined complexion,
to say nothing Of the injury to health,
which is an argument less likely to pro-
duce much efect--Pall Mall Gazette.

The Story Of q Werewolf.

A noble gentleman of Brittany, in high
favor with the king, married lovely
lady. There would have been no limit to
their happiness but that three days out of
every week the gentleman mysteriously
disappeared. When pressed by his wife
for an explanation he confessed that he
was Bisclaveret or werewolf, and for
three days in the week was condemned to
assume VOLTS shape. The lady was
sore troubled and determined to rid her.
self of so Objectionable a husband Learn
ing that if the lords clothes were stolen
after the metamorphosis was effected he
could not resume his human shape, she
and a false cavalier who loved her
watched him and got possession of the
castoff garments. AS from that day the
husband was no more seen she married
the cavalier.
One day the king was out hunting
when wolf that had been sore pressed
by the hounds made its way to him and
looked at him with so pitiful and human
an expression that the kings heart was
touched. He spared it and brought it
home to his court. The animal proved
gentle and tractable and became a great
favorite. But one day when the false
cavalier came to court it jumped upon
him with wild cry and bit him severely.
And when some days later the wife
claimed an audience with the king the
wolf flew at her, too, and bit off her
nose. Swords were drawn and the wolf
would have been killed, but that wise
man counseled the prince to find out first
what could be the reason of the VOLTS
grudge to the lady and her husband.
And, being threatened with imprison-
ment, the lady, terrified, confessed all
she knew, and when the clothes Of her
former husband were given to the wolf
he was transformed into human shape
and the king rejoiced to recognize his old
favorite. The guilty pair were igno-
miniously banished. They lived several
years and had many children. all the
girls being born without noses.-Ameri-

If the women's colleges would add to
their course Of study series Of very
plain lectures on the care of health, it
would be worth any amount Of Anglo
Saxon literature on political economy.
Nothing would make school more popu-
lar than to supplement such lectures with
strict personal care of the habits of each
pupil 1t would become a "beauty
school" in the full sense of the word, as
celebrated for sending out young ladies
with brilliant compilations as Harvard
for its athletics. And why is it not as
necessary for young ladies to have their
faces chased as to have their manners
and their grammar corrected? Now, the
most high minded and fastidious Of Lady
Sylvias has slender body, which works
over daily not less than seven pounds of
food and drink, or ought to, and throws
out no less than five pounds of waste by
its great ducts, the bowels and kidneys,
and its millions of needle ducts in the
skin. Really this is very terrible for dis
cussion, and l warmly agree with her
majesty Victoria in thinking stomachs
entirely unfit for mention to ears polite.
But thousands of women are losing
beauty and dying Of painful disease for
want of knowing the full significance Of
their internal economy and the care they
owe it-Shirley Dare.

The Brazilian Empires Progress.

The illness of the Brazilian emperor re-
calls what he has done, and encouraged
to be done, for his empire. Twenty years
ago Brazil had nine insignificant cotton
manufactures. all together having 1856
spindles. There are now in that country
forty-six such manufactures, five of
which alone have 10000 spindles. They
make yearly 33, 1000, 900 of yards of cot
ton goods. This is but one item, which
is paralleled in every direction. The
country has also progressed in agricul-
tural production quite as remarkably as
in manufactures. The Argentine Repub-
lie in South America alone has kept pace
with Brazil. Thirty years ago Dom
Pedro was in struggle with all sorts OF
conservatism and bigotry, which resisted
progress He persisted in importing ma
chinery and tools and ideas, and has
lived long enough to know that he has
triumphed. The browning result is the
recent abolition of slavery. Demo
