Just Like the Girls.

A good story is told at the expense Of one
Of the young fellows Of the academy who
conceived a strong liking for bright eyed
seminary girl The lady teachers never per-
nit boxes from home or elsewhere containing
appetite tempters to be received by their fair
charges The young fellow l speak of evil
IDENTIFY did not know of this rule, or else be
had forgotten. At any rate, he sent his lady
love box containing q variety Of dainties,
cakes, pies and an assortment of confectionery
that would have tempted the eyes of a con-
noisseur. OF course the box was intercepted
by the argus eyed lady teachers, and good
Miss McKeen seated herself to write the
young man note, at the same time inform
Ing the recipient of his favor that the box
must be returned.
But, alas! The dear old lady knew not the
wiles Of those sweet girls and while she
penned her curt letter informing the young
man-pointedly, we may believe-of the full
enormity Of his offense, the fair charges ex-
tricated the contents Of the box, filed it up
with old shoes, and did it up again with a
skill that avoided detection, and, while the
good lady principal was peacefully snoring in
her bed that night, it is safe to assume that
they did full justice to the good things so op
portunely secured to them.
When the expressnan brought that box
back to the young man, it Is safe to say, he
was mad. He concluded, however, that il
would be shame to lose SO many good things,
and accordingly redirected it and sent it to q
kind, older brother at college. Just what the
elder brothers feelings were when he opened

STABBED BY ITALIANS.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo, July T.-This
morning about 4 o'clock a foul murder
was committed Near the depot of the
Cape Girardeau & Southwestern railway,
in the southern part of town. man, who
was identified as Charles Bray, former
resident of Neely's landing, in this county,
and later of st. Charles, Mo-, was found
dead in skif opposite the depot. There
appears TO have been a party Of two on the
boat originally, one of them the deceased
and the other James Gilmore, who says
that he got into the skiff at Wilkinson's
island, about forty miles above here.
A jury was impanelied by George 6.
kimmel, acting coroner, and the evidence
obtained was substantially as follows,
after the adducing of what is given above:
Four Italians were sleeping on the plat
form, and about the hour named the de-
got into fight with Nicholas Rossi. In
the fight Rossi struck the deceased with
his hands. No knife was seen. The
deceased then ran toward the skiff.
The evidence shows that the de-
ceased came to his death
by being stabbed to death with knife or
some sharp instrument. Two of the
Italians escaped and two Of them named
Francescas Mairhet and Rossal Marebet
coroner's jury.
The testimony of James Gilmore, who
was with the deceased. was as follows: Il
knew the deceased by the name of
Charles. That was all the name /
knew for him. | have known him
only since Yesterday. About 8 o'clock met
him at Wilkinson's Island. got in the boat
with him and went to Grand Tower, H.,
where we arrived about Il o'clock. We ate
dinner there. He (Charles) took Inc from
Grand Tower to Apple Creek and then to
Cape Girardeau. We left Apple Creek at
3 o'clock in the afternoon. On the way
down went to sleep, and some time in the
night deceased fell on me and woke me up,
telling me that he was done for, and his
warm blood gusbed out on me. | got up
and ran away and hunted a policeman and
doctor, and when | returned Charles was
dead. The boat and all the property in it
belongs to the dead man"
Warrants have been issued for the Ital-
ians who escaped. Their names are Fran
cisco Capul and Nicholas Rossi.
The jury returned a verdict of stabbed to
death by some person unknown. There is
no question but the deadly stiletto in the
hands OF the escaped Italians did the muir
6elauS work.

THE POPES HEALTH,

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July lS.-The Ameri-
can publishes an interview with Bishop
Keane, rector of the Catholic university at
Washington, who is here in attendance on
the National Educational association.
Speaking of the reports in regard to the
health of the pope Bishop keane SAYS:
so far as the health of Leo XIII is con-
cerned, there is little likelihood of
his dying very soon. | saw him
the day before l left Rome. March
-, and be was then the picture
of health, stout, robust and active. 1t is
true that he is a very old man, 50 years
old, but he does not stand alone as the
only man of advanced age performing the
active duties OF high and responsible po-
sition. Bismarck, Gladstone, Manning, as
well as Leo XIII, are far advanced in life.
and yet these men are moving the world.
Cardinal Newman is 81 years old, and he
has only just retired from active per-
formance of his duties. When Leo Mi
became the chief bishop of the church
some /" years ago, he himself re-
garded his health as so poor that he said
ii was useless TO mske him pope, for he
had scarce six months TO live His health
now, however, is very good, and | assure
you, Leo has no notion of dying 10 please

In the event of the death of the pope,

How Large Was Ancient Eomef

After carefully examining oil the data No

writer's who allude TO 10, and all the facts
which seem TO bear on the question, I am
convinced that in estimating the number at
100000, am rather undertaking than over
stating it. IL is much more probable that it
was larger than hat it was smaller. De
Quincy also es:imates the inhabitants Of
Rome at 100000. | will only cite one fact,
and then leave this question. The Circus
Maximus was constructed to hold $50, 900, or,

At o'clock the Polk mansion filled with

thrown open to a reception committee OF
seventy-five from the association. Mrs.
Polk, still ieautlful and strong IN her S1th
year, stood in the west parlor for an hour
and received with a pleasant word each
guest. Mrs. Polk was assisted by Mrs.
James II. Garfield, of Kansas, and others.
The exhibit of school work in the ball of
representatives at the capitol is the finest
ever seen in the city, including AS it does
every class Of work from primary schools
and kindergarten work to that of more ad-
vanced scholars in schools and colleges.
The night session of the educational
meeting was devoted to a consideration of
the proper literature for children and use
in the high school. The discussion favored
more attention to literature as an element
of introduction.
The committee on nomination reported
the following officers for the ensuing
year:
President, Joseph H. Garfield, of Kan

treasurer, E. G. Hewitt, of Illinois. Twelve

THE OIL. MEETING.

CHICAGO, July lS.-Before the executive
committee of the knights of Labor this af-
ternoon the only matter of general inter

by the organization near Caunelsburg,

sees for period of ten years.
Mr.. Powderly this evening emphasized
the statement made by him on his arrival
In this city in reference to circular which
1t Is said suggests amalgamstion of all the
organizations. TIE people who are talk
ing most about this,' said Mr. Powderly,

impression that the Knights Of

different associations. Everybody ought
TO know that the X of l. is a general as
ISOLATION of all trades and crafts. In the
association of the X. OF L. and composed
of its members are other bodies. among
them the Federation of Labor, the Railway
Aid association, etc. There is nothing in

A very striking and inSpiriting document
Is the captains report, and bears remarkable
testimony TO the admirable order in which
the whole complicated machinery of the Cal
Hope was kept and the perfect discipline
with which she was navigated. The staff
engineer was called upon for every pound OF
steam he could give, and this power was kept
up at the highest point from 30 q. IN. to s

were moving the Calliope through sea
which flooded the decks, and even at this ex-
IRENE power the SHIP made only knot or sc

GIBBONS, NEW BOOK.

BALTIMORE, Md, July 1S.-Parts of the
new book, Our Christian Heritage"
written by James, Cardinal Gibbons,
archbishop of Baltimore, which will ap-
pear next October, were submitted to the
hasty reading of an Associated Press re-
porter this evening. This book is not
polemical. 1t does not deal with the con-
troversieS agitated since the reformation
nor aim at vindications of the claims of the
Catholic church as superior to those
of the separate branches of Christi
anity. This book shows that such funda-
mental truths underlying Christianity
as the existence, the providence and the
omnisience of God, the immortality of the
soul, the existence of free will ana the es-
sential distinction between moral good
and evil are all susceptible of being dem
onstrated by unaided senses. while they
are made still moro luminous by the light
of Christian revelation.
IL furnishes Christians with arguments
to meet the sophistries of treeithinkers and
seeks to enlighten the sincere inquirers
after truth. To show what blessings
Christianity has conferred on the human
race even in temporal point of view, the
latter part OF this volume contains a series
of chapters exhibiting the superiority of
Christian over pagan civilization.

from the men by a mob, strung up and
riddlod with bullets. He acknowledged
that he was the right man; also that he

BULLD0ZERs Baked.
General Crook Allows No Foolishness With
the Sioux Treaty.

CHEYENNE RIVER AGENCY, Oak, July
1S.-The council met today at about 10 a.
M. as usual. a large delegation of the
hostile fraction was present, surrounding
the chiefs tent. 1t was evident that 1t
was the object of the speakers to indicate
that no signers need be expected today.
General Crook stopped further discussion
by sending for the rolls and invited such
Indians as wished TO sign to do so.
Chasing Crow stepped forward and said
pen. This was the signal for an angry
outburst from the Cherry Creek band, who
began to crowd around the table where the
rolls were spread out. Two painted Indians
sprang to the front, one brandishlng
large club, and threatened to brain any
one who signed. General Crook stood
near, with his hand on heavy chair. pre-
pared to knock the Indian down at the
first hostile demonstration, when the lat
ter was arrested by the police and hurried
out of the pavilion.
General Crook spoke forcibly for few
moments. He told them that this COM
mission had been sent here by the presl-
dent for the purpose of explaining an act
of congress, and that it had done its
duty. If anyone did not understand
the commissioners were ready at
at any time to explain; if any one wanted
to sign they should be allowed to do So
Matters were in a bad shape if lot of
breech-clouted, blanket Indians, who had
Just come on the reservation and cared for
nothing so long as they got enough to eat,
were to be allowed to prevent those Indi-
ans who " ere trying to provide for the fu-
ture of their children from signing. He
said if the police could not protect them
he would bring men here VINO
would He wanted it distinctly
understood that those who choose to sign
would be protected. This effectively
silenced the disturbance.
The police prevented the crowd from
pressing too closely around the signing
tables and opened a large lane for them
the hostile faction. Signatures
were taken rapidly for an hour and are
continuing slowly. There was 100 signers
up to o'clock p. N.
