"sS consul general 20 Loudou, end from
November 25. 1882 up To the date of the
ding of the SUI, during which he was
coUsul general at SSvepns. The Uaited

20 the UuiteG States for money srron-
eously psld him as an army officer foe
Uorions OF the period from D-cUmber
1859. TO Oc'ohsr 1882. The court of
CLAIMS by divided court dismissed both
CLAIMS. The supreme court holds that
Gen. Badeau, while drawing salary as
consul general, WAS expressly Inhibited
from receiving any SdCIuunsi cOmpeuss-
ton tor GIschsrsloE duties of sny other
Office. l. Is tue the courts say that ii has
been decided that persuus holding tSo

or com pepsstlon Of both but the treas.
ury department did nor sPpareu'Iy re-
gard this case as falling within that sx-
cePtiOn, and the court agrees wi h that
CONCLUSION. l. - held that, though uu-
der the act of 1878, certain army ,fn,vrs
may hold diplomatic or con
sutar appointments without be-
ing hello to ths'ehy resign their
place in the army, this does not eutitle
them to pay as army otfiSers, When they

such officers, though they may sui be
borne on the retired hS', can

Ehe court also rrfuseS 10 disturb
the juds : meut OF the court of claims, ad-
verse tu the counter claim OF the United
States. If he WAS not an officer IN law he
was serving as such in faith, and no rea-
son Is seen why he should ee required to
return what was paid him while he was
dlscharglng his duty as such army Uflioer.

GRANGER legislation against the rail
roads has always been based upon the
theory that the lines osn operates them
selves tor the most part without care or
effort from any on. When the screws
were put spUn rates in Iowa and the
roads began to 9roan with pain, the legis
latiye operators looked suspicious aud
gave the screws another twist But,
where corporate squea'ing produced no
effect, a reduction ~ train service GORE
spending with the reduction in rates has
arrested some attention. In many cases
the service has been out down half mixed
passenger and freight trains have been
substituted here and there, and threats
are made of more generally grating the
passenger service upon the freight ser

now try TO compel the roads to maintain
the old service under any rates it may

A MISSIONARY lately from ia pan tells us
that 1900 Japanese Christians belonging
to the missions of one board gave last
year in benevolence and for their
churches, $4,000. Considering the diff
ference in wages, that sum would be equal
to $40 apiece for American Christians,
which would mean for the 100000
American Christians $4Oc, 900 0c0. If our
churches and missionary societies had
any such sum in their treasures, how
long ~oud it be before all the world
would hear the gospels Scarcely
single year. 1t does us good to work
out such sum in arithmetic, once in
while.

The Farmers Alliance, OF Georgia,
representing 10000 farmers, have decided
by an almost unanimous vote to use cot
ton bagging for the baIiDg of their cot
ton--au act that the Atlanta Constitution
halls as 1.-The most important step in the
interests of the farmers since the war"
This formal action by the Georgia Ali
anoe doubtless presages similar action i'll
other southern states and the com pIete
destruotIou of the jnte monopoly. The
fret cost of cotton bagging ID apparent
ly greater than iute, but the large amount
that will Le required for bagging, the
farmers believe, will lead to Il slight ad
vance in the price OF cotton, and in this
way ,qualize the cost. At all events, the
farmers of Georgia are pledged 20 It's use
for one year regardless of cost.

PAID THE PENALTY.
Wife Murderer swift Hanged nj
Hartford-Story of the Crime.

The crime OF John II. Swift, who
was hanged at Hartford, Conn, April
18th, was not so remarkable for its ma
ture as for the extraordinary efforts
which were put forward to save his
neck. IL was the murder OF his wife,
Kate Swift, on July 18, 1887. The
couple were married in 1884, the hus-
band being 20 and the wife 10. Swift
was n neer-do-wcll, and his habits
were dissipated that n separation soon
took place, the young wife securing
work in a mill. Several times Swift
senthernotes threatening to shoot her,
but TO these she paid no attention. On
the day OF the murder she received
two OF these missiyes and Swift, who
was in his cups, informed several OF
his boon compaions OF his intention.
This time, as the sequel showed, he
was in earnest. He waited at the gates
of the factory when the bell rang TO
cease work. His wife saw him as she
emerged and ran for her life. Swift
followed, firing his revolver as he ran.
Two shots took effect in the poor girls
back, killing her instantly. The MUIR
dcrer was tried and convicted, only
the worm eaten, chestnutty defense OF
insanity being interposed. The SUI
preme court sustained the verdict and
the governor declined TO interfere.
Just here Swifts sister, good looking
and popular young girl appeared upon
the scene. Day after day she appealed
to the senate and house through petit
tions TO save her brothers life. She
took her stand in the corridors, button
holing the granger lcgist stors one by
one. Few OF them could withstand u
young girls tears and supplications.
The judiciary committee OF the senate
reported in favor OF committing the
sentence to Imprisonment for life. The
senate promptly adopted the report by
IA TO Q, the house concurred by 1l3 to
LOG. The resolution won't to the gov
ernor and was promptly vetoed. The
senate again passed 1t over the veto,
but this time the house refused to con-
cur, and the struggle was over Swift
maintained cool and unconcerned de-
meanor on the scaffold and met his
fate without 1inching.

GRUB ON THE GIBBET.
Gertie Downey's Murderer Dies on
the Gallows.

The crime for which Sylvester Grub
was hanged at Vincennes, Ind, April
10th, was the murder of his sweet
heart, Gertrude Downey, on the fair
grounds at Princeton, on Sept. IS last.
They lived near each other at Fran
cisco. They went to the county fair
in company, and q quarrel arose as u
result Of which the girl refused to stay
longer in his company. Maddened
with rage, he drew his revolver and
fired five shots. Three bullets took
effect, one in the right eye and the
other two in the chest. After his ar
rest he snapped his revolver three
times at his own head. For time he
was in danger of figuring as the prin-
cipal in iynching bee. He was tried
in the Knox county court in October,
convicted and sentenced to death, in
terrupting the judge to tell him that
he did not think he had committed any
sin. On March 1st he escaped from
Jail by cutting his way through the
top OF his iron cage with brace and
bit, having drilled 100 holes before re-
moving section of the roof eighteen
inches square. Then he let himself
down by means OF a rope made OF
blankets, but was recaptured few
days later.

Training for Girls.

When n girl Is ten years old she
should be given household dutios TO
perform according 10 her size and
strength, for which sum OF money
should BIO paid her weekly, She needs
n little pocket money and tho know
ledge how 10 spend II judiclously,
which can so we'll be given by u mother
10 her little girl. She should DO re-
CURED to furnish u part OF her ward
robe with this money. For instance, II
she gets ten cents week, she should
purchase all her stockings, or all her
gloves, as tho mother may decide; and
doing this under the mothers SUPER
vision she will soon learn TO trade with
Judgement and economy. Ofcourse the
mother will SOC 10 IL that the sum Is
sufficient TO do this, and yet leave II
trine for the child TO spend as she
pleases. This will supply u healthy
stimulus; IL will give her n proper
ambition and pride In her labor, and
the ability TO use money properly. As
she grows older these household duties
should DO Increased, with the propor-
tionate increase OF money paid for the
performance OF them. We know OF u
lady who divided the wages Of u SER
want among her three daughters.
There is u systematic arrangement OF
their labor which Is done with II
thoroughness and alacrity rarely
found, either with hired girl or with
daughter who feels that she has to
do IL with nothing TO encourage and
stimulate her in the work. Practica,

A SHOCKING TRAGEDY.
A Massachusetts, Man Murders His
Aged Father and Himself

At West Farms, farming hamlet
five miles from Westlleld Centre, Mass,
on the morning of April 18th, Joseph
King, a well known wealthy citizen rs
years OF age, was shot and killed by
his eldest son, Edgar King, who after
wards burned the house. The muir
derer's dead body was found lying in a
pool OF blood shortly after about
twenty rods from the house, where
King had shot himself. Young King
few days ago gave to friend a seal
ed manuscript which he requested him
to keep and open some time in the
future. The paper was read and re-
vealed the determination OF Edgar 10
kill his father and also an aunt, and
then to end his own life. The muir
derer was worth considerable property
at one time, but had squandcred IL,
and since then had led bad life, get
ting what money he could from his
father. The refusal OF the father to
give the son any more money is thought
to have been the cause OF the deed.

A BOLT FROM JOVE.
Serious Work OF Lightning Near
Findlay, Ohio.

The family OF G. II. Perkins, living
near Findlay, Ohio, had n remarkable
experience during thunder storm re-
Gently. A bolt OF lightning struck the
family residence, tearing away tin
roof with the cornice and descended
the Pipe TO the kitchen. Here IL
knocked down furniture and threw u
dog, which was sleeping by tho stove,
so violently against tho stone wall Of
the apartment that 1t was killed. A
servant girl who was standing by the
stove was stunned and shocked SO
severely that she is not expected to
recover. Mrs. Perkins and her babe,
who were also in the room, escaped
without injury. Az the front of the
house was the hired man with team
OF horses. The team ran away, throw
ing the man from the wagon and
severely injuring him. Mr.. Perkins
was out in the garden when the bolt
struck the house. He was so severely
stunned that he did not recover con-
seriousness for an hour. Tho house
caught fire from the overturned stove,
but the heavy rain soon extinguished
the flames before much damage was
done.
