ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

A Mason City, Ia, special to the Jour-
nal says the story of a terrible murder at
Glenville, thirty miles north of this
city, reached here this morning. The
particulars, however, are meagre. Three
young ladies went to the home of an old
gentleman and lady to spend the evening.
About O'Clock they started for home,
but had scarcely stepped out of doors
when they were shot down by two rufians.
The old gentleman started to go for help
and while he was gone the fends entered
the house and killed the old lady. Great
excitement prevails.

PIGoTT's CHARACTER.


LONDON, February 16.-The Pail Mall
Gazette commenting upon the admission
made before the Parnell commission by
Mr.. Soames, Times solicitor, and Mr..
Macdonald, manager of the Times, that
they had never asked Pigott or Houston
where they got the letters secured by the
Times, says everything depends absolutely
on Pigott's words. The character Of
Pigott, therefore, is of the first Importance.
The Times stakes everything upon his
word. If Pigott were the Apostle Paul,
his solitary word might suffice, but if he
falls short of apostolic character, whatH
The Gazette ends its article dangerously
near contempt of court, with point of
Interrogation sugg estive that the oharac-
ter of Pigott is doub full.
Mr.. Labouchere, In an interview, said
the total amount of money which he paid
Pigott was ESQ. He further said he would
not disclose anything regarding the al
legged attempt to bride Pigott until he
went into the witness box.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

THE M'MILLAN AND BRECKENRIDGE BILLS.
WASHINGTON, February 16.-The ways
and means committee had short meeting
this morning, but one full of results. The
Mcmillan tariff bill, which was presented
to the committee yesterday, was finally
considered and ordered to be reported to
the house. According to the committees
estimates the bill would, if enacted into a
law, reduce the revenues $72,000,O0O. 1t
is closely patterned after the Mills bill, re-
tanning free list with few additions
made by the senate.
When this was Opposed of the commit
tee, with view to having at hand bill to
meet immediate emergencies in the mat
ter of excessive revenue, authorized ia
vorable report upon an original bill pre-
pared by Representative Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, which proposes to put tin plate
and wood on the free list and to reduce
the internal revenue as proposed in the
Mills bill, which in its revenue position is
identical with the 'Cowles bill. The bill
also includes the wooden and worsted
cloth section of the Mills bill. This Sec
ton, it is said, would reduce the revenue
about forty millions, but it is generally
believed it will be the main recourse of
the ways and means democrats in the ep-
preaching conflict with the appropria-
ton committee.

To Save Life

Frequently requires prompt action. An
hours delay waiting for the doctor may
be attended with serious consequences,
especially in cases of Group, Pneumonia
and other throat and lung troubles.
Hence, no family should be without a
bottle of Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
which has proved itself, in thousands Of
cases, the best Emergency Medicine
ever discovered. 1t gives prompt relief
and prepares the way for a thorough
cure, which is certain to be effected by
its continued use.
S. II. Latimer, NJ. D., Mt. Vernon,
Ca, says: al have found Ayers Cherry
Pectoral a perfect cure for Group in all
cases. 1 have known the worst cases
relieved in very short time by its use;
and advise all families to use 1t in sud
den emergencies, for coughs, Group, &C."
A. j. Edison, NJ. D., Middletown,
Tenn, says: 81 have used Ayers
Cherry Pectoral with the best effect in
my practice. This wonderful prepare
ton once saved my life. l had con-
slant cough, night sweats, was greatly
reduced in flesh, and given up by my
physician. One bottle and half Of the
Pectoral cured me-"
at cannot say enough In praise OF
Ayers Cherry Pectoral," writes e.
Bragdon, of Palestine, Texas, "believ-
ing as 1 do that, but for its use, should
long since have died."

WHAT SECRETARY WHITNEY SAYS.

WAsHINGToN, February 16.-In the
course of a statement made to-day
through the house naval commission,
Secretary Whitney took occasion to re-
mark that he believed the vessel for
which Representative Thomas prepared
designs, and which was the object of the
criticism in tho senate, would be of great
value to the navy, and that if he were
secretary of the navy when the bill went
into effect he would build II.

Something About Perfumes.

New York World.
The sweetest thing in the garden of
fashion is the society bud, who breathes
of violets one week, of lotus beds the
next, elderberry the third and lemon
verbena when the moon is waning. A
couple of years ago it was the proper
thing for a girl to rinse her lace hand
kerchief in her scent-bottle; such pro-
ceeding now would be considered a
vulgarism, for if there is any one article
in a fashionable toilet which is not per-
fumed it is the handkerchief. Hosiery
and gloves slumber in beds of sweet
grass and rose leaves; laces, wraps and
underwear have their separate sachet
pillows; dresses are hung among the
bags of sweet clover that perfume every
closet; even bODnet-bOXeS emit fragrant
odOrs when uncovered, and In the lin
ingS of many Overcoats the wadding is
busted with Orris, but not a trace OF
square of lace-edged null.
The deficiency, however, is more than
counterbalenced by faint sweet OdOrS
that linger about the folds and hem of
dress skirts and the bows of ribbon,
pendant from jeweled carriers. Even
card cases and pocketboOks are per-
fumed, and SO is the small blotter
bought with fashionable stationery.
But these items are insignificant COM
pared with the cost of pertaining sum-
mer outfit which requires the services
of maid, and an outlay equivalent to
that expended for gloves and shoes.
For instance, there is the cOrsage
Sachet, made of fine satin to match the
dress, and filled with perfume too
delicious for description. The sacks,
which are an inch square, retail at 50
dozen, and it takes about twenty
to go around the edge of a Joseph
inc dress. OF course, every low
corsage has to be sacheted. and if a
belle cares to buy them by the 100 she
is charged at the rate Of so cents each.
Another perfume trick is to pour scent
over the hair just back OF the crimps or
frizZeS. Every woman rubs the stopper
of her scent-bottle across her lips and
eyebrows before leaving the mirror,
and the habit of dousing a feather or
satin fan with wild rose or bluebells of
Scotland is as old as vanity itself. The
pulled sleeves of the hour are also used
to sweeten a woman's presence. the
essence of chypre, magnolia or jasmine
being poured among the gathers at the
elbow, where it is least liable to be de-
tected and most readily perceived. De-
sirable perfumes cost IS cents an ounce,
and the least popular girl in society
will dash S12 worth over two weeks
visit and half dozen summer toilets.

you like, spirits or ghosts, but know
it was my mother who came to me. l

board engaged for week at the Mer-

what? i know you will all laugh, but l
can not help that; and hereafter will
always follow my spirits advice.

Events of the Past Week.

The state eight-hour league met last
Sunday afternoon at labor headquarters
for It's regular monthly meeting, with
the usual number of delegates in at
tendance. In the absence of President
George E. Ledgerwood, Miss Eva Nc
Donald was elected chairman pro tenn.
The Minneapolis Trade and Labor as
Sembly reported credentials for three
new delegates. The committee on local
meetings reported that successful ones
had been held in the First and Third
wards of Minneapolis, and several were
being advertised for the coming week.
ST. Paul delegates had taken no action
in regard to this work. After some
discussion Messrs. Frances, Coughlin
and Reese were appointed an executive
committee to take charge OF the work,
and appoint subcommittee in each
ward. A general discussion followed
Oh ways and means of pushing eight
hour work. The resignation of PreSi-
dent George E. Ledgerwood was read
meeting. The league then adjourned
to meet at the Labor Temple in Mime
apolis the second Sunday in September.
All organizations sending delegates
to the state league are requested to see
that all of the delegates attend and re-
port the work of the convention back to
their organization. The secretary of
each organization will confer favor on
the state league officers by sending the
address of its delegates and the name OF
number of the organization to the state
secretary, Ii. B. Martin, 123 NicOlletav-
enue, so that he may he able to notify
each delegate of the time and place of
meeting.
The state league also suggests that
the delegates remind the members of
their organization that the state organi-
cation depends for financial support
upon their voluntary monthly cOntribu-
ton. A trifling amount from each one
will aggregate enough to pay all eX-
penSes, but the matter should not be
forgotten.
The hall board held a special meeting
last Sunday at labor headquarters. and
is getting its affairs arranged in such
manner that its business can be more
readily transacted during the coming

NOTE AND COMMENT.

1.-THE Single Tax league starts out
with plan that is remarkable in its
way said a we'll known cit zen the
other day. Recently l received a no
tice saying that the first assessment was
due on my stock, and would please
pay promptly? When the fact is l never
took any stock or knew that any had
been issued, but sent them dollar in
recognition of their business ability"
The committee appointed by the
trade and labor assembly to investi-
gate the methods pursued by employ
ment bureaus find that the poorest
class of men are being constantly de-
frauded. Men pay So for place, and
are either OverWOrked so that they are
obliged to leave or else discharged in a
day or two and a new lot hired. The
indications are that the contractors and
employment agencies share the profits
realized from hiring men in this way.
The greatest complaint comes from men
hired on the street grading near Mid
way park. Any one who takes the
trouble 10 watch the work for an
hour or two will have no doubt
that the men are OverwOrked and their
horses rendered; unfit for future use
from lack of time to feed and water
them. The committee of investigation
does not wish to publish any names
until its work is finished, but at the
next meeting of the trade and labor
assembly expects to have complete re-
port and such data as will enable the
assembly to pursue vigorous line of
policy. Although il is doubtful if any
legal redress can be obtained, yet the
organized force of the city will be
invoked to protect those workingmen
who need assistance the most, and who
are least able to do anything for them
selves.
After all the work done by the legisla-
tive committee during the last session
of the legislature to prevent the re-es-
Establishment of contract convict labor at
Saltwater penitentiary, the present
management advertises for bids for the
labor of One-half the able-Dodied con-
victs, together with machinery, power,
etc. This means practically victory
for the contract system, which makes
one wonder if legislation always legis-
lates, or if the passing of law finishes
the battle. There are SO many organ
lied men who are always clamoring for
more laws to protect them, that, per-
hapS, they would find food for thought
in explaining why the law passed in the
legislature of 1886 prohibiting convict
labor in this state hasn't protected them
in the least, and has always been dead
letter.
