RINGING RESOLUTIONS
BY the Nou-Psrtlssn w, G, T,
U, Provisional Committee,
CALL TO THE PUBLIC ISSUED
Denounolng the Old Order for Con-
uectIng Itself With a Political
Party How Temperance
Work Can be Best Done,

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 20,-The Proyi
sional Committee Of tho Non-Partisar
W. O, 7. U, met here to-day and issued
call to the public It describes al
some length the recent trouble in the
order at Chicago, and denouncea the
methods Of the old order in connecting
itself with political hoIies, which caused
many Of It's members to leave. A mum
ber Of resolutions were adopted, among
them the following;
1--WE believe tho political policy Of the
National Women's Christian Temper
auCe Union torbe wrong In principle,
contrary 10 the letter and spirit OF the
original constitution, illogical In its rea-
soninRs, inconsistent In its conclusions,
andexceedlngly detrimental to the cause
oil temperance.
dWebeiieye that the work Of Christian
temperance stands above and beyond
tho lines OF party or sect, aud wG cannot
follow the lead OF the national in pledg.
ing our influence TO any party.
"rhe refusal OF the National Union,
by an overwhelming majority, to adopt
q non,partisan amendment 10 its consti-
tuition makes 1t imperative for honest
nOn'partisan women To lot the world un-
derstand that they will no longer re-
main In this anomalous position, being
by resolutions and so-called
tests OF loyalty TO the partisan action In
the National, while disaYowlng the
same In the fields,
"a demand Is growing for a national
temperance society, less complex In Its
aims aud. more simple In It's government,
which will work In itsorganized capacity
for such objects only as have direct
bearing upon temperance reform.
"The lamentable loss OF moral power
that has resulted from the partisan atti-
lude Of the National W. o. I. U. may be
In q measure retrieved by o society
keeping itself free from all party entaug-
lements, so free that no political vultures
will ever hover over conventions hoping
to bear any influence that will help them
to places Of power, J
ave desire to organize on basis so
broad that prayer may be made for us
in all churches without fear OF onense.
The consideration Of the public is asked,
lie advice sought, and its Co.operation:is
greatly desired.
"We seek the prayerfpl aid Of pastors
Of churches, superintendents Of Sunday
schools and Christian workers In all
fields. We do not propose to build our
work on the ruin Of the old, but wa do
hope to profit by the experience Of the
past"
Tho call is signed by Ellen j. Phinney,
Cleveland Ellen w. Watson,
secretary, and seven members Of the

HELD UP A TRAIN.

Highway Robbers Get but Small swag.
A Braksman Killed While Defending
the Train.
TEMPLE, TEXAS, Dec. 20.-The west.
bound passenger train on the San An.
gelo branch Of the Santa Fe was held up
this morning early at Bangs Station, 1872
miles west Of this city. While the
train was standing at the sta.
ton the train guard, AL Wolf,
was standing on the ground when
he saw four men coming toward him.
He thought they were passengers until
they were close up, when they drew
their pistols and ordered him To throw
up his hands. lie attempted To cross
the track but when on the plat.
form, they knocked him against the
door Of the coach. The noise attracted
the attention OF Brakeman Penn, who,
upon stepping 10 the platform, snatched
the guards pistol and fired into the gang
Of robbers. The robbers returned the
fire, shooting Penn three times In the
body, rnortally wounding him.
After the shooting the robbers com.
pelled the guard 10 uncouple the express
car from the next coach and ordered the
engineer to run ahead 10 a point distant,
where the express car was robbed. Only
about $42 was obtained by the robbers.
No arrests have yet been made, but It
Is believed that the robbers will soon be
oyerLaken, as pursuit was started imme.

SENTENCED 70 DEATH,

Services of au Interpreter
Were Required for Him,

CHARLESTON, W, Va, Dec, 20,-This
morning Felix Kampf, the murderer Of
his two children, was sentenced by
Judge Guthrie to be hanged. .on Friday,
March 7. His attorneys made motion
for a new trial which was overruled, and
and as 1t was known that prisoner had
neither perfect command nor perfect
understanding OF the English language,
DR.. Wagner was called forward and
sworn to act as interpreter between the
court and the prisoner, When he was
asked II he had anything to say why
sentence Of death should not be passed
on him he replied in German mo-"
DR.. Wagner stated to the court that
the prisoner had nothing to say more
than had already been offered by his at.
tOrney. The Judge then proceeded to
pass the death sentence. The prisoner
received his sentence stolldly, there being
nothing whatever In his countenanCe 10
indicate that he realized the terrible posi-.

was taken back To the jail he was accom-.
panied by Rev. Father Stenger, Of the
Catholic church, who will act as his spir.
itual adviser. A private room in the Jail
has been fitted up where the prisoner
can receive Father Stenger and consult
with him as TO his future welfare in the
world beyond.
Although in public he has shown no
Sign OF remorse and his face has been as
devoid OF any evidence OF emotion as
that OF the Egyptian Sphynx, there can
be no doubt that he deeply regrets his
crine. He sits In his cell for hours with
his head bowed down on his hands, and
those who have the opportunity to oh.
serve him, say that on such occasions
his eyes are sutTused with tears. In
conversation with his jailer he stated u
day or two ago that he intended TO dc.
vote the rest Of his time to preparing for
the future world.
Kempi'a counsel will probably appeal
10 the Governor for a commutation Of
sentence.
Charles Price, Colored, who was con-
viCted OF murder In the second degree,
was sentenced to ten years in the penl'
tentiary.

A BEAUTIFUL STORY.
APropOsltion to Mako Republic Of spaia
and Portugal,


LONDON, Dec 20,-Among the many
stories in circulation here growing oul
Of the attitude Of Portugal in Southeast
Africa, and the action Of the British
Government in the matter, is the rather
shadowy statemsntthat Portuguese
Government had no intention OF insist
ing upon her claims In Africa 10 the end
Of establishing them, or attempting 10
do so, but Is merely prolonging the dis.
pute In order TO throw dust In the eyes
Of any other powers likely TO discover
the real object In view,
The earnestness OF the British officials
and the British public In resenting the
pretensions Of Portugal leads them to
give little or no CTedenCe 10 any part OF
the story, but It is here given for what
II Is worth,
Itis asserted that tho Portuguese Mon,
arch and his ministers, finding the trend
ofpubllcopinion irresislbly In the direc'
tlon Of republic, although they enl.
phatically deny that this 10 the case, have
lately had recourse OF secret LcommuniCa,
tion with the Spanish Republican lead,
ers, laying before them proposition 10
merge Spain aud Portugal into a homo
geneous republic, with Senior CASTELAR, us
President, and Ministry composed Of
Spanish and Portuguese statesmen In
equal numbers, This proposition, 1t Is
alleged, embodies the conditions that
the Portuguese relgning family shall be
10 reside at Portugal or else.
where, at will, and that the civil list
shall be continued; any concessions
which may be made to the royal family
Of Spain to be settled wholly by the
Spanish Republicans,
The Portuguese MonarChlsts, 1t Is as.
serted, are led to take this step In conse'
luence Of their conviction that a RE-
publican rising In the country at no very
distant date is almost inevitable.

Eberling frequently accompanied Mrs.
Mantwill TO the theatre, 1t Is said, and
visited her in the absence OF her hus-

abode, Eberiing has continued his visits,
though, Mrs. Mantwill says, always
when her husband was at home. Eber.
ling, when arrested, protested his limo.

an alibi. He says his acquaintance with
the Mantwills Is long standing and that
the husband never objected To hiE
attentions to Mrs. Mantwill.
