ALEXANDEK SULLIVAN.

The arrest ON charge Of murder Of
Alexander Sullivan of Chicago, is an
event of more than ordinary interest.
and, from a political point of view, of
more than ordinary Importance. Alex.
ander Sullivan was six weeks ago, by
all odds the most influential Irishman
in America, in some directions capable
of exeriing more influence than any
other man of any race. AS ex-presi.
dent of the Land League. and as still
really It's controlling spirit, he affected
n great vote, and his power was fully
exerted and as fully recognized. He
inspired editorials in newspapers; his
favorites and friends were given office;
he was the hub of great political
wheel He aimed, seemingly, to be a
dictator both in American and Irish
affairs, and he used his force in one
field to promote his ends in another.
Aided by wife as gifted and ambi-
tious as himself, rend ring himself al

councils, he had no rival whom he feared
in the field he had created for himself.

rHE TOWNS pnorooRapn.

There has been quite pretty romance
progressing very quietly In washing
ion. A young lady who lives In n
suburban town met clerk in one of the
Departments last summer. Cupid
twanged his bow, and with his usual
expertness accomplished the feat of hit
ting two hearts simultaneously. But
for its local character the story would
be commonplace. The young man
commenced series of visits to the
young lady's residence. His calls nj
first followed each other at distant
formal intervals, but the gaps gradually
diminished until the youth succeeded
in getting all the trip.marks punched
out of q monthly commutation ticket.
Then the young lady's parents inter
fercd The youth was informed firmly
but kindly that thereafter they would
expect him 10 board as well a, lodge in
the city. His visits were discontinued
and the old folks leaned back In their
easy chairs, each heaving a sigh of re-
lief
But every morning now young
woman, wearing fluffy summer hat,
its big white bow tied with coquettish
grace beneath delicious. looking chin,
and pink lawn dress clinging around
her form in graceful folds, crosses the
platform of the little railway station
and boards the train. If the weather Is

Balm for a Wounded Heart.

NEW YORK, June 12.--The Supreme
Court yesterday rendered decision In a
rather interesting breach Of promise suit,
awarding the fair plaintiff 81, 400 as balm
for wounds to the heart, appraised by the
lady herself at s25, 600 james Steven, the
defendant, wooed and won Miss Jennie
Farley, whose father was reported to be
worth fortune OF moderate size. Accord
Ing to the lady's allegations, they were to
have been married on the 10th Of February,
1888, and she even asserts that Steven In
troduced her to his friends as his aflianccd
bride. ,',...
About month before the time Of the
marriage Slevin found that Miss Farley's
father was not rich, but that he had been
misled into believing that he was well of In
the worlds goods. Finding his mistake he
tried, she says, to break off the engage
ment. He wrote her, on January 1S, that
he would not be able to carry out his prom
ise Of marriage. Miss Farley had con-
ceived an affection by this time for her
mercenary beau, and, on the receipt of the
letter, she brought suit for breach of
marriage.
Slevins' defense was that he did not break
off the engagement, but only postponed the
date of the wedding ceremony. Much tes-
timony was introduced on both sides, and
the affectionate letters that passed between
them were put In evidence. The attorney
for the defendant has given notice of his
intention to appeal to a higher court, and
the case will be gone over again before Miss
Farley secures the money awarded her by
the jury for blighted affections. sI

New YORK, June ia quarrel has
arisen between Miss Marion Manola aud

Monday Miss Manola accused Mr. Oudin

was forthcoming, and Miss Manola did not
appear at the. evening performance, her
place being taken, as 1t has been several

Josephine Knapp. Miss Manola called on

crRrAIs SECRET SOCIETIES.

A eoroner's jury has declared the
murder of DIR. Cronin In Chicago the
work of secret society of Irishmen.
Here are clauses of the verdict;

"Clan-na- Gael" had any cause 10 be the In

We further state that in our judgment all

evidence shows that OF the clan.na-Gael or

mony with and are injurious to American in
stitntlons.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
tells the truth. Such secret societies
are not 10 harmony with American in
stiiuiions. No secret society, existing

rHE SEED NEWS CONVENTION.
prt ccedings of To-day's session--List
OF Delegates Present.


The American Seed Trade Associatlou's
annual meeting continues in session at the
Arlington Hotel to-day, number OF tardy
members having arrived last uight and this
morning. They devoted their time to-day
mostly to discussing things OF no Interest TO
anybody but people directly interested In
some sort OF seed business. Yesterday the
association sent letter to Secretary OF
Agriculture Rusk, with view of securing
his presence at one Of the meetings aud his
cooperation in the associations plans, but
as yet no answer has been received.
One reason why more members are not In
attendance at this convention is that most
Of the seed men make an annual summer
trip TO Europe. Several leading members
are now there and others will soon follow.
The seed men are great lokers, and one OF
them who Is from Nebraska has been
solemnly describing a new variety of pump
kin that he is propagating. The story goes
that Nebraska soil is 80 fertile that pump
kins cannot be raised on IT, The reason is
that the vines grow so fast that the heavy
pumpkins are dragged over the ground by
the growing vines until they are worn out
entirely. The new variety is called the
''Kangaroo Pumpkin y and instead Of being
dragged II jumps along over the ground
and attains its full size instead Of being
worn out.
Seed men are extensive advertisers, and
| $4,000 is not an unusual sum for many
| firms to spend In single season.. The past
season has not been q good one for the
trade. No two seem TO agree as to the
cause, though the low prices OF all produce
seems to have discouraged many gardeners,

officers for the ensuing year. was begun.
