The New York Morning Joouna! says: The

her owners $500 for having anchored in too
close proximity to Liberty Island with explo-

Is HE THE wHITECHAPEL FIEND?
Some Evidence Connecting the Dundee
Murderer With the London Crimes.

The horrible murder Of a woman in Dundee,
Scotland, it is now said, was undoubtedly COM
United by man named W. H. Bury, the wo-
mans husband. Bury was a resident of White
chapel, London, and his antecedents, which
have been traced, suggest that he is probably
Jack, the Ripper" and that he is subject to
fits OF unconscious murder mania. The post
mortem examination held on the body of the
Dundee victim proved that the woman had first
been strangled, and that her body had then
been mutilated. the abdomen being ripped
open and the legs and arms twisted and broken.
Bury says that he left Whitechapel three
weeks ago. He refuses to say why he left there,
and acknowledges that he had no business re-
curing his attention in Dundee.
He says that he and his wife drank lheavily
last night before retiring, and that he does
not know how he got to bed. Upon awaken
ing, he says, he found his wife lying upon the
floor, with q rope around her neck. Actuated
by sudden mad impulse. for which he cannot
account, he seized knife and slashed her
body. Upon reason returning he became
alarmed and hastily crushed the body into the
chest in which it was found. thinking to fly
and make his escape. He found. however.
that he could not leave his wife's remains, and
he finally resolved to inform the police.
The theory of the police officials is that
Burys wife knew Of facts connecting him with
the East End atrocities and that she took him
TO Dundee in the hope of preventing a recur-
renee of the crimes

Anything to Beat Gov. Church.

TIE DAKOTA CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY GOES on.
The war between Gov. Church and the Da-
kota legislature is still on. There were several
measures proposed by different members as a
means of defeating the governor by securing
his immediate dismissal from his position, but
the leaders of the house considered them to be
unadvisable. However. a resolution was adopted
unanimously that no communication foreign to
business of legislature and territory shall be
read TO the house, and speaker and clerk are
made sole judges of what reports shall be re-
ceived. The avOwed purpose of the resolution
is to prevent the governor from making an
other such attack as on Saturday, when he
went for the legislature and his on prede-
cessor without gloves. The feeling in the mat
ter grows more bitter all the time and there is
once more some strong talk of an adjournment
until the successor to Gov. Church shall have
been appointed. This action had about been
given up until the recent engagement, and now
the republicans in the house and council are
willing to do almost anything to defeat Gov
Church.

Dancing that is Wicked.

From The waterbury Republican.
An exchange asks if waltzing is wicked. Some
waltzing is. When a man steps on his partners
dainty little feet every other second does not
keep time with the music, attempts to hop
while his partner glides, digs his hand into the
middle of her back. involves his extremities in
such maze of confusion that he can't tell his
right foot from his left. bumps his knees into
his companion, and collides with every couple
that comes near HIM, it must be admitted that
Waltzing is wicked. How fortunate it is for
some men that they are not born quadrupeds.
II they have so much difficulty managing two
legs. how much more fearful and wonderful
would their dancing be with four legs to alb
sorb their attention
