Use no reward, and that triumph shall not
follow the enlightened judgment and the
sober second thought of our countrymen?
There are to day no weak, weary, and
respondent members of true democracy,
and there should be none Thoughtful
attention to political topics is thoroughly
aroused. Even nov they are day by
day leading men to review the reasons Tor
their party affections and supports of
principles. We confess we are constantly
recruited by intelligent, young and sturdy
dence, and stunning all ignoble practices,
let us remain steadfast to democratic
faith and to the cause of our country.
If we are true and loyal to these, the
day OF our triumph will surely and quickly
come. and our victory shall be fairly and
nobly won through the invincible spirit
OF true democracy.

DENVER, Colo, May GA special
from Childers, Tex, to the Associated
Press says: Harry CHM and q. j. Wat
son, alias Barlow Watson, were arrested
at Matadore Friday evening for the MUIR
der OF George w. Richardson, superin-
tendent of the San Pedro Coal aud Coke
company at Carthage, N. NJ. by G. A.
Robinson, sheriff Of Socorro, N. N. The
murder was committed May Is at s p. IN.
1t was pay day at the mines, and Rich
ardson and his clerk, George Arnold
we're in the office door when the men
came in. One OF them drew a revolver
on the clerk and ordered him to hold up
his hands. Richardson was standing in
the door that led into another room and
stepped back to get a shotgun and turned
around to defend the clerk, when ono of
the men stepped in at another door and
shot Richardson in the back, the ball
passing through the heart, killing him in
stantly. One guarded the clerk while the
other robbed the office of $4,000. By
this time a crowd had surrounded the
building, and the robbers, mounting their
horses, made their way through the as
sembled miners amid a shower of bullets,
one of which killed one of their horses and
compelled both robbers to make their es.
cape on one horse.
The murderers were trailed about
eighty miles on the way to the Pan Ham
die of Texas; on the way over the noun
tain they dropped an envelope containing
$45 and buried a bag containing $400 in
silver which was found by the officers.
The off ,ers came to Childers, Wednesday
morning, and started out to Matadore
ranch Thursday noon. where they ar
rested the prisoners on Friday night. The
murderers were quite popular among the
cowboys and they threatened to release
the prisoners; and for a while it looked as
if the officers would have to fight for the
prisoners, but after an explanation the
prisoners were brought to this place and
put in jail for safe kcening. Harry CHM
had 81 .935 on his person when arrested,
and Watson $500, making in all 50, 200.
The prisoners claimed they got the o
playing monte in Arizona. and also stated
they won their horses, but that Mexicans
took the horses away from them.

CHICAGO, May 27.-The funeral of
DIR. p. ii. Cronin took place yesterday
and was attended by thousands. The
corpse had been lying in state in the
Cavalry armory on the Lake Front, and
there, early in the morning. the morbid
and curious, with the dead mans friends,
made their pilgrimage.
Armed sentries.. from the Hibernian
Rifles stood, arms-at-rest. at each corner
of the raised platform on which reposed
the catafalque and coffin, a huge cross Of
white pinks and m~areuerities woven in
with smilax was at the head of the bier,
and a harp and smaller cross stood at the
foot. A c~andelabria with Sc zen tapers
hickered in front of the cross.
A large crowd jammed the street be-
fore the Armory, and the police kept a
passage way open for those who wished 10
enter the funeral hall.
For three hours the procession, in
double file, marched across the platform.
Only the picture and a big silver plate on
coffin testified that all that was mortal of
DIR. Cronin was in the casket. At last
the procession stopped and the pail
bearers entered.
At their head was Luke Dillon Of
Philadelphia, Edward 0'Meigher Condor
of New York, John Devery of New
York and Thomas 2. Tuite of Detroit.
Following them came a large number OF
locally prominent Irish-Americans, repre-
senting the friends of the dead man and
the societies to which he belonged.
Reaching the Cathedral of the Holy
Name, an immense crowd was C
tered. On the approach of the process
sion the bell and organ pealed forth the
funeral march. The pail bearers with
their burden moved up the center aisle
and lowered the casket on the catalalaue.
Candles of the funeral services were
placed beside it and the ceremonies of a
high requiem mass began.
The sermon was by Rev. Father Mul
doom. He spoke at length of Cronin's
kindness of heart and his generous nature
but approached no nearer the tragedy
than a few general illusions.
After the church services the process
sion was renewed and proceeded through
the crowded streets to the Union depot at
Canal and Adams streets.
Thirty six cars were filled. Hundreds
OF people drove out in buggies and carri-
age and hundreds more came to the
cemetery from the neighboring suburbs.
Heavy black clouds kept many persons
away, and vague rumors of trouble may
have frightened Others.

Whipping at School.

The expediency of whipping girls 10

in its columns, says the London Truth.
The great advocate of whipping, child
rcn was Solomon, and to Judge by Re-
hoboam it proved dismal failure. l
am opposed to giving schoolmasters
the right to inilict corporal punish
ment. because many of them are totally
untitled to be intrusted with such
powers. The punishment would every
where differ for the same offense, for
while one schoolmaster would whip
hard another would whip soft. More
over, one might be man of good tenn
per and another with bad temper and
one might fog where the other would
chide. The thing is brutalizing and
probably does more harm than good

Four cuts were the ordinary applica-

The proceedings took place in public

Roping a Boa.

After about an hour of crawling and
pushing through, our men suddenly
stopped and began to point ahead,
chattering and gesticulating. Look
ing the way they pointed, we saw in a
tree an immense boa constructor way

glittering in the sun. My friend said

Mrs. LOgan's Scheme.

An excellent project. said to be de-
vised by Mrs. Logan, is thus described
by the Minneapolis Tribune:
In Germany there is a custom which
sounds as if it were II survival from
the middle ages, when the boys were
sent to the great families to be trained
us pages, and girls learned to spin,
sew, embroider, brew, and bake under
the supervision of the chatelaine OF Il
castle. This custom, in its modern
form. is to send girls, after they have
finished school, to live year in the
household of some noted house wife,
who teaches them all the accomplish
ments which it is held fitting haus-
mutter should acquire. Many women
i'll Germany who arc left widowed and
in need of money, keep their homes in
this way. They take as inmates young
ladies, who are given year of train
ing in housekeeping. They are taught
all the mysteries of washing paint so
that ii will not peel; of sweeping car
pets so that the nap is not taken away
with the dust. They learn how floors
should be waXed to look like glass,
and old mahogany polished to resemble
a mirror; how silver should be cleaned
and china and glass properly washed;
what will soonest cleanse and brighten
mirrors and windows; how lamps are
kept in order, and what is the secret
of the satin gloss of properly laundried
linen. They learn how To market, to
choose the best meat, fish, and vege-
tables, and how they should be cooked
to be tender and we'll favored. Their
pastry falls into flakes at q touch,
their bread and rolls are light and
sweet. They know how to can, pre-
serve, and bottle all sorts of fruits and
Just how tables should be set, dinners
served, and wines cooled. They know
the art of bed-making, dusting, pack
ing, arranging closets, and regulating
servants work, and they are taught all
the important rudiments of needle
work. Atthe end of the year they are
fitted to run a house economically,
literally, and with oiled wheels, war
ranted not to squeak. This is the sys-
TEN Mrs. Logan is making study,
and her idea is to found just such II
home in this country where girls can
take Il postgraduate course of year,
learning all these very important ac-
complishments, which would go far to
negativing in many homes the sugges-
tion that marriage is failure. She
thinks it is said, of founding the home
in Chicago, and has already some
twenty young women promised her to
begin with. She docs not propose to
make the year all work and no play.
The home is to be a big, handsome
house, fitted with every comfort. sup
piled with books and music, and the
girls are to find that part of the curri-
culum is in learning through practical
experiments how to entertain in every
fashion. Mrs. Logan is woman of
great energy and executive ability, and
if she undertakes this project she MAY
be trusted to carry it out with benef-
cial results.
