WILL MARCH ON GERMANY.


That is the One Idea Dominating General
Boulanger's Mind.
PARIS, February 25.-Stuart Cumber-
land, the mind reader, read General Bou-
langer's thoughts to-day. He gave Presi-
dent Carnot six months lease of power
and traced Boulanger's march on Germany
via Stuttgart. The General declared
Cumberland's Interpretation to be correct.
General Boulanger most emphatically de-
nies that he entertains any hostility toward
England. He further states that he does
not believe that Lord Lytton, the English
Ambassador to France, believes that he has
any such feeling. e
M. Boudele has presented to the Chamber
of Deputies bill which proposes to add to
the expulsion law of 1886 a clause assimi-
lating to Princes any individual trying
to compass the restoration of a per-
sonal or dictatorial power for his
own benefit. Count Douville Mail
lefeu is greatly annoyed because
President Carnot did not consult him re-
garding the formation of the new Ministry.
He has decided not to contest seat at the
general election.
1t is rumored that M. Tierad has proposed
to the Ministry to recall the Due d'Aumale.

rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, February 25.- Captain
Evans, of Bedford, moved tonight that the
bill prohibiting the sale of liquor on Decor
alton Day, which was negatived by the
Committee on Vice and immortality, be
placed upon the calendar. In supporting
the motion he referred to the unanimous
action of the Grand Army Encampment at
Erie in favor of such law. and stated while
the old soldiers surely do not indulge too freely
on Decoration Day there are others who do,

Mr.. Boggs, of Butler. who introduced the bill
in the House. talked eloquently for it, and
called attention to the fact that similar meas

Mr.. Quigley, of Philadelphia, to move an in
definite postponement on the ground that the
Senate bill could be acted on when received.
but after Mr.. Bean. of Montgomery. had made
a plea for the measure he withdrew his motion
and the bill, receiving more than majority of

sawhilI Recommended.

To the Sporting Editor of The Dispatch.
SIR noticed in recent issue of your paper
a statement made from West Middletown, Pa,
in regard to their baseball club for the coming
season, claiming that they will be the cham
pion local club of Washington county, and
that they have signed Sawhill the right fielder
of the LAFAYETTE club last season. This state
ment is incorrect as Sawhill has standing offers
from several local clubs. His fielding average
was $40 and batting .295, and he led the team
in base running. Il is not at all plausible that
a player of SawhiIl's ability would sign with
such an inferior organization as West Middle
town, Mr. Sawhlll is fine athlete, a splendid
base runner and good batsman. We think
some Of the minor league clubs would do well
TO secure his services as right fielder, as he
would prove to be peer of any in that position.

year ago Christmas he, because of his in
trigue with the wife of her brother, late last
night suffocated her two little children with
Illuminating gas and then committed suicide

children on the upper floor. Ida slept
in a crib which swings from two
upright posts. Pretty S-year-old Willie
slept with his mother. The boy was the
mothers pride, but the vsgaries Of the poor
woman led her to treat the baby girl with
unnatural severity. After she shot her
husband, Mrs. McCauley became despond-
ent. She never talked about the tragedy,
but her brothers and sisters, and even Mr..
and Mrs. Furness, used to see her in gerat
mental distress.
A PEACEFUL EVENING.
