Will Rusk Be Condemned,

SACRAMENTO. Cal, Nov. l4.-It tran
spires that Ex-Governor Rusk, of Wis
consin, and now secretary of agricul-
ture, has a good many friends i'll the
session of the National Grange, and that
any resolutions that may be introduced
condemning his appointment to the po-
sition will be vigorously fought. In
vestigation develops the fact that the
feeling on tho matter is being formu-
lated by certain members of the order
who believe that they have been ignored
by the national administration. 1t was
due almost entirely to the efforts of
the Patrons of Ilusbandry that the agri-
cultural department was made cabinet
Office, and, shortly after the inaugura-
tion of President Harrison various
names were suggested to him as avail
able material. Among these were j. J..
Woodman, of Michigan; Ex-Governor
Robie, of Maine, and Colonel j. III. Brig
ham, master of the National Grange.
President Harrison, however, ignored
these representations, and selected
Farmer Jerry Rusk as one of his ad-
visers. Hence the feeling that has been
manifested. ahd the proposal that the
grange shall officially condemn the APP
pOintmcnt.

Catholics Urged to Contribute


ST.. PAUL, MINI, Nov. 1G.-A special
pastoral letter issued by Archbishop
Ireland, and impressing upon the Catho-
lies of Minnesota the necessity of con-
tributing freely to the support of the
church, will be read in all the churches
of the archdiocese tomorrow. In it his
grace says that owing to the lack of
funds many important regions are still
without pastors, but that if the temporal
means are supplied he will in few
years give the state clergy that will
serve it we'll and be an honor to the
holy church. The fund for the extern
sion of the church work is now encum-
bered with an Indebtedness of nearly
$4,000, and the archbishop desires not
only to pay this off before Christmas,
but also to raise some $4,000 for the
work of the coming year.

ENGLISH RULE IN AFRICA.
Troops Hurrylng to the Scene OF Recen
TrOubles

LONDON, Nov. 14.-Since the news ar
rived of the homeward march of Stanley
with Emin Pasha and his party, and of
the reported disaster to Or. Peters re-
lief expedition, the British East African
company has been rapidly picking up
all the best available men to send out
to protect its territories from raids by
the rebellious natives. Captain Luz
gard, whose name is we'll known in con.
nection with the Lake Nyassa troubles,
and George s. Mackenzie, with $50 men,
left for Mombassa this week. Judging
from the activity displayed in securing
fighting men, the British East African
company must anticipate having to do
some heavy work in order to hold its
territory against the incursions of the
Arabs. The latest news from that re-
gion indicates that all the native ele.
ments are up in arms, and are for the
moment brethren in common cause to
drive out the now detested foreigners.
This serious uprising on the part of the
natives is attributed to Captain Wiss
mans attempt to increase the sphere Of
German influence by exterminating tho
peOple,

A celebrated wooden leg has been dis
covered in an old Vincennes (France)
shop, that was once smithy. The
limb belonged to General Da,lmesnil,
and replaced the leg he lost in the big
wars of the first Napoleon. This rug
ged old warrior defended the fortress of
Tincennes against the allied army, and
is famous for having said to the invaders.
when summoned to give up the place,
.sBring me back my leg which you have
shot off and you shall havo my leys!''
The wooden leg now found had been
sent by Daumesnil to Vincennes
smith in order to be s.shod,'' as tho
general himself expressed it. Before
the article was sent back the old
warrior died suddenly, and his sham
limb remained in the ancient smithy
until the present day. 1t will now be
placed in the Artillery Museum of the
Hotel de Invalides, among many other
historical relics.

A WOMAN WITH NERVE.
She Kills Her Husband and Then Sues +


Sne hlllS Hcr Husband ana Then Sues for
His Life Insurance.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Maggie Schreimer,
who poured kerosene oil on her husband
June 25, 1888, and then set fire to it,
burning him fatally, is suing the Catho-
tic Order of Foresters for $1,000, inter-
est and principal on death benefit of
$1,000, which she claims as beneficiary
of the dead mans estate. The society's
lawyer claims that as the woman mur-
dered her husband and is now serving
ten years in the penitentiary. the death
benefit cannot be claimed by her The
plaintiff made'a motion to overrule the
demurrer on the ground that the policy
did not provide for any such contingency,
but merely proposed to pay to Schrie-
mer's heirs the face value in the event
of his death. The case is without prece-
dent, and any decision will be the first
of the kind on record in Illinois. Tho
defendant society will contest the mat
ter, and will in all probability make a
fight on the proposition that finding
for the plaintiff would be against pub.
lie policy, as it would virtually offer a
premium for murder.
