Killed an unfalthfuI Wife.

MONTREAL, Jan. John Benson, a
coppersmith. kept an oyster saloon and
whisky shop at the corner of st. James
and Tuliord streets. 1t was the resort of
the rowdy element of the neighborhood.
Benson, whose first wife, Ellen Smith,
left him several years ago to go with a
more congenial companion, left several of
their children behind. Three years ago
Benson married Bridget Doyle, the daugh-
Ter of one of the men suspected of the
murder of Thomas Darcy MCGEE, and
she had apparently been a faithful wife.
Last night a party of men, among them
Frank Singer, a fellow enploye of Benson.
were carousing in Benson's place, when
about 3 o'clock his little boy came running
in and told his father that a strange man
was with his mamms. With an oath
Benson got up and in a drunken stagger
went to the bedroom, taking as he went
by the cupboard a revolver. He met the
man Singer at the door of the bedroom,
and passing by him saw his wife on the
bed. She admitted her guilt and pleaded
for mercy, but with 4 warning to meet her
God, Benson fired, the bullet entering the
woman's left breast and causing instant
death. The murderer knelt over the
warm corpse, kissed the dead lips, and
then went out to The store, where he met
Singer, and shot him through the knee
and arm. Benson then went to the
police station and gave himself up.
Singer was taken to the hospital, and NAV

AIIeued Suspended Animation.

EAST Sioux FALLS, D. T., Dec. 30
The problem presented to local physicians
in the case of the three-year.old child of
l.. p. Olsen, of this place, is no nearer
solution hal it was a week 20. There
has been no further preparation for the
interment of the body. nor will it be
given sepulchre until the grief stricken
parents are certain that life is extinct.
When the little one died, as was sup
posed, last Sunday. from the effects of
dropsy with which it suffered from birth,
the body was wrapped in a shroud and
placed in a casket. 1t has remained in
that condition until the present, and al
though the body is quite cold, at frequent
intervals there has been unmistakable
signs of returning life. This afternoon,
while a number of physicians and others
were gathered in the room where the
casket lay, the face of the child suddenly
became suffused with a deep blush, which
faded away almost as quickly as it came.
A small thermometer placed in the mouth
and also on the cheek of the child failed
to indicate any change in temperature.
The physicians were completely nonplus-
sed and could offer no explanation of the
strange occurrence. The parents are
alternately Frustrated with grief and
buoyed up by the faint hope that the
child will eventually return to life. At 9
o'clock to night there was a temperance
of color, this time in both the face and
hands, lasting several minutes. and the
physicians who observed it were sanguine
that the spark of life had not yet died
out. However, when the color disap-
peared, they would not say authoratively
that the child was alive. Physicians from
out of town have been sent for. and seve-
raj have come OF their own accord to see a
case OF what is undoubtedly suspended
animation, the first ever noted in this
territory.

mats to President and Mrs. Cleveland
and then departed to his residence to pre-
side at a breakfast given in their honor.
He left the white house IN company with
his daughters. Col. Wilson and Lieut..
Luvall then took places near Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland and introduced
all who followed. The justices of the
supreme court, headed by Chief Justice
Fuller, came first, and were followed in
rapid succession by the justices of the
court of claims and judiciary of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Nearly all the Judges
we're in attendance, the principal absentee
beng Justice Matthews, who is still con-
fined to his residence by i'll health.
The next feature Of the reception was
the army and navy, which was, probably,
the mosC interesting of all. The army
officers were first presented. The recent
affection in the family of Maj. Gen.
Schofeld, commanding the army, pre-.
vented his being present and the line was
headed by Brig. Gen. Wagner (retired).
Brig. Gen. Bent, chief of ordnance, the
senior ranking officer in the city, AMI
nearly all officers stationed in this vicinity
were present and of course all were in full
uniform. Among those in line were
Generals Drum, Kelton, Macfeeley, Baird,
Mckeever and many younger officers who
have made records in campaigns against
the Indians.
The column of naval officers was headed
by Admiral Porter and Rear Admiral
Jouett. Rear Admiral Busnell and Com
modores Walker, Seward, Melville, Col
hour aud McCauley occupied places near
the head of the line.
Senators and representatives were as
signed places at the head of the army and
navy, but they were nearly all late and
took places wherever most convenient.
They were less in number than usual.
The congressional delegation was fol-
lowed closely by the commissioners of the
District of Columbia, officers of the
Smithsonian institute and of all executive
departments. Among these walked As
distant Secretaries Thompson and May
nard, Gen. Stephenson, Gen. jerks, Lii
brarian Spofford, and Commissioners
Cooley, Bragg and Schoonmaker of the
interstate commerce commission.
The close of the official lines was com
posed of veterans of the wal of 1916, G.
A. r. and members of the Oldest Inhab-
itants' Association.
So far the reception had occupied over
an hour and a half and President and
Mrs, Cleveland had kept up a constant
h~andshaking. The reception was, how
ever, just about half over as at 1890
o'clock the outer doors were thrown open
and the general public was admitted.
The first corners of this vast crowd had
taken places at the outer gates before 10
o'clock. TIE attendance was larger than
on any similar occasion during the present
administration. The reception closed at
2 o'clock and a few guests invited by the
president Joined the receiving party in a
light lunch served in the upper corridor.

How Etchings Are Made.

No branch of art within the past few
years has attracted sue universal atten-
ton as etching. The art of etching is
not, as is popularity supposed, a new in
vention, but the revival OF an art in which
Rembrandt and Albert Durer excelled.
The process by which IN etching is made
Is both delicate and difficult. 1t Is &C
complished by coating a copper plato
with a preparation of wax, upon which
the artist traces with a sharp instrument,
called the needle or point, the lines Of
his picture. The plate Is then immersed
in acid, which eats into the lines laid
bare by the needle, and the acid bath is
repeated. The lines when sufficiently
bitten are stopped up with fine French
varnish.
This process has been repeated more
than fifty times in some plates before
the proper effect of light and shade was
obtained. Etching Is really a drawing
o. a plate, thus giving the genuine work
Of the artist as much effect as in an oil
painting. 1t Is this absolute quality Of
art possessed by etchings, as distinguished
from the purely mechanical methods of
engraving, which gives to them their
value. The ink used in printing is thick;
the plate is warmed by placing it on a
heated marble slab, 30 that the ink will
flow freely enough to fill up all the lines.
AlDSl Lnhilb lAo phdlo 10 luDDSb SlSdI'
leaving the ink only In the lines, except
ing where certain effects Of light and
shade may be desired, not represented by
the lines. These can be obtained by the
skill Of the printer, who can produce
beautiful effects by his manipulation of
the ink on the plate. There is a great
difference In plates in this respect, some
requiring much more skill to print than
others. After the plate is ready the
paper, having first been dampened, is
placed on it and then covered with felt.
The press consists of an iron bed, per-
fectly true and level, for the plate to
rest on, and an iron roller which passes
over the plate, exerting great pressure,
SO that the paper is forced into the lines
Of the plate. After each impression the
plate is cleaned and linked again, and the
same process gone through with, SO that
the printing Of etchings canno be hur-
ried. To insure uniformity, a sample
print Is before the printer to look at.
This is either printed by the etcher or
superintendent by him. So great is the
skill required to properly print etchings
that less than half a dozen printers in
the country have won a reputation as
being first class.
Etchings are quite expensive, and often
bring as high as S1,0O0.-New York
Evening Sur.

A Crafty Embezzler captured.

ST. LOUIS, Jan IA Chicago en-
bezzler who packed himself and $40, 900
in a trunk and was sent by express to st.
Louis, was captured here tonight. He
is Thos. Vine, who took the pay of seven
hundred employees, amounting to $40, 900
of the Adams x West Lake Manufacture
ing company of Chicago. and disappeared
Saturday, He took the money with the
sid of a confederate, whom he refuses to
name. He hired a room near the factory
and made preparations for flight. He dis
guised himself as a negro and secured the
money in old stockings, threw them under
some old clothes in the bottom of a big
trunk that had been secured. Last night,
when he thought the vigilance of the
police had relaxed, Vines confederate
sent an expressman to the room, and
Vine in his negro disguise helped the ex-
pressman put the trunk on the wagon,
holes to give air being cut in the trunk.
On the way to the depot Vines Told the
expressman that he intended to beat his
way to st. Louis by going in the trunk,
being too poor to pay his railroad fare.
The expressman thought it risky, but did
not Interfere, when Vines opened the
trunk and jumped in and snapped the lid
shut with a spring, locking the trunk.
The trunk was put into the baggage room
by the expressman. The check tor it was
given into the possession of Vines ac-
complete and the trunk was placed on
board the train and the $4,000 were
treated as common baggage for a distance
of over 900 miles. That was as long as
the embezzler cared.
The trunk was carelessly closed by the
trainmen and the contents left undis-
turbed. At st. Louis the trunk could not
be obtained by Vine without the check
and his confederate did not appear. Con-
siderable pity was expressed by depot men
for Vine and a small collection was taken
up to buy him dinner and supper. His
strange story reached the ears of the police
and aroused suspicion.
Vines description had been received
from Chicago, and the reading of it re-
suited in the dispatch of an officer to
arrest the fugitive. Vine was taken into
custody while begging the baggage man
to disregard the regulations and give up
.he trunk.

Are We to Have Another Wary

Some political prophets aver that we
shall. Be tnlt as it may, the battle
waged by M dical science against disease
will never cease until we arrive at that
uptopian epoch when the ahuman family
shall cease to be afflicted with bodily all
ments. One of the most potent weapon
which the armory of medicine furnishes
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is
of special utility as a family remedy, as it
is adapted to the immediate relief and
ultimate cure of those disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels which are OF
commonest occurrence. Indigestion, bill
BUSINESS and constipation are i~nsepeable
companions, and these ailments are com
pletely eradicated by these Bitters. But
the Nmedial scope of this superlatively
wholesome and genial medicine takes in
also nervous ailments, rheumatism and
kidney troubles; its action in these. as in
the other complains, being characterized
by unequaled th~oroughness.
