how He FOUND A FRIEND.

He stood with care stamped on his face
His mind was filled with gloom,
Gaunt want and he were on a race;
He was looking at the moon.
He wondered if the man up there
Was hungry, tired, or sore;
If the people there as everywhere,
Would drive him from the door.
"What shall I do, where can stay?"
He moaned with inward pain;
"My meal last week has gone away
To meier come back again"
He went, though feeble as mouse
And found an Uncle kind,
That lived near by the Courthouse
Wharf was it,-are you blind?

A MASHER SMASHED.
Six Months in Bridewek for
Sinking and Flirting

CHICAGO. May 15.-lSpecal Telegram to
THE BEE, IA young man, with flirting ten
denotes, received two scares, to-day from the
effects of which he will not recover for some
time. He was walking on Union Park place,
and noticed good-loolking lady IN win
dow. He took out his handkerchief and
waved it at her, but she did not respond. He
walked back and forth in front of the win
dow, waved his handkerchief many times,
threw kisses, and smirked. Still there was
no response.
Not in the least discouraged he continued
the performance until, finally the lady was
REINFORCED by three others, who Joined in
watching. Suddenly one of the young ladies
threw open the window, reached out her
hand with a revolver and fired a shot. The
bullet whizzed past the "masher's," ear, and
with a wild Shrek, he started down the
street on a keen run.
An officer intercepted the ruffian, how
ever, and ne was taken to the nearest police
court where one of the ladies appeared. She
explained the matter to the justice and said
it was not the first appearance of the man in
that vicinity. The justice gave the fellow
the limit, six months in the Bridewell, and
regretted he could not make it more. The
lady was cautioned against the free use Of
the revolver, although the justice thought il
almost justitiable.

Waller said farewell to the staff employed at
the American consulate, on Tuesday night,
and his successor, General John G. New,
quietly entered upon his duties, yesterday

that anything unusual had taken place in St.

dent called upon the new consul. ~ see
you have got into the harness again, General
New,n said the Herald reporter.
"Yes, made start to-day. There was
no formal ceremony OF installation. Gov
ernor Waller is an old friend of mine and he
left last night In the usual way, and
dropped in this morning as 1 shall every
other morning, and got to work, right away"

evidently not sinecure, Judging from the
mass of work before you."
"Why, no. This is a place where work
has got to come in and be got rid of. have
to sign over 700 invoices to-day, but, Of
course, that does not represent one tithe of
the actual work shall have to undertake.
General New has been greatly impressed
by the cordial welcome extended to him as

The D,sunited Brethren.

YORK, Pa, May 15.-Bishop Weaver pre-
sided over the majority conference of the
United Brethren church to-day. The ques-
tion of licensing women to preach was
adopted after long discussion. A motion
was adopted that no minister should be al
lowed to preach more than three consecutive
years at one point without tho consent of the

laymen to the United Bretheren general con-
ference held IN the afternoon, resolutions
were adopted expressing hearty approval Of

The Work of the Convention.

YANKToN, So. Oak, May 15.-Special Tele-
gram to THE BEE. -E. G. Edgerton and
Chris Buechler, republicans, are certainly
elected to the constitutional convention from
this district, and the result between Sweet
and Harris, democrats, is in doubt, with the
chances in favor of Harris The vote Of the
county is less than one,half the full vote, but
it is almost solid for the Sioux Falls consti-
tuition. The vote of the county will not ex-
ceed 700 OF 500. The convention is to meet
the 4th o. July. It can alter, change or
amend tha constitution only as per-
mitted by congress. The constitu-
tion is to be again submitted
in October, together with the separate
clauses of prohibition, ETC., and if the const-
tuition, as amended to conform with the act
of congress providing for the admission Of
the state, is adopted and is found acceptable,
the state may be admitted by proclamation.
The July convention will make ordinances
and frame all the machinery for the sub
mission of the constitution and for the vote
on the separate clause and the election of the
state officers and the legislature in October
So that while the convention will have no
constitution to make there will be a good
deal of important work to do. The state will
have to be divided into legislative districts
and all the preliminary work for the October
election and for putting the new state gov
ernment into operation will devolve upon the
convention.

A CONSTITUTION READY MADE
Some Iowa Movers to the Sioux Res
ervation--Death OF a Child From
a Rattlesnake Bite-School
Buildings in Pierre.
1t Will be Ratified.

HURON, OAK, May 15.-[Special Telegram
to THE BEE. There is rejoicing throughout
South Dakota, to-day, over the result of yes
terday's election. From the returns received
80 per cent of the entire vote Is for the adop-
tion of the Sioux Falls constitution. Moth
ing so nearly approaching unanimous vote
has been experienced in the ratification Of
any fundamental law as that. which charac-
terized the adoption of a constitution for the
new state at the polls yesterday. In some
districts 9S per cent of the entire vote was
for the constitution. The Thirteenth district
had 25, and the Nineteenth "a votes against
the constitution. Those are two of the prin-
cipal districts and contain some hard kickers.
Iu one precinct in the Thirteenth district,
which cast 900 votes, only was against the
constitution. The Eleventh district had but
10 votes against adoption. The result of the
election is regarded as grand victory and
a confirmation of what the people, for three
years, have claimed, that they are satisfied
with the Sioux Falls constitution for the
state of South Dakota. The democratic del.
egates received fair proportion of the vote
polled, in some districts receiving more
than the entire vote of the party, while
the prohibitionists laid aside their third party
notions and Joined with the old parties in
getting out the vote, which, although light,
compared with that of 1885, or of last Novem-
ber, is sufficient to Indicate the unanimity Of
sentiment regarding the Sioux Falls consti-
tuition.
Messages of congratulation and greeting
have been received here and sent to various
cities in South Dakota. Several were also
sent to Congressman Springer, advising him
of the vote, and asking HIM il he now be-
lieVes the people of South Dakota know what
they want.
Following are the delegates chosen by the
districts reported: Sixth, Stroupe, Stod-
dard and Barrett; Ninth, Wood, Sterling

THE CARTER CASE.

CHICAGO, May 15.-[Special Telegram TO
The BEE. Luther Latin Mills finished his
speech for the defense in the Carter case to-
day, reviewing the charges against DIR. Gill
bert and I<yrle Bellew. The court room was
jammed aud the interest was intense. Tho
eloquent attorney scored Mrs. Carter in o
most merciless manner, he being even more
forcible in his characterization of her con-
duct than yesterday. For two full hours,
under the terrible fire of the lawyers words,
the fair plaintiff sat- calmly rocking in her
swinging chair and plying her fan, her coun,
tenance never changing. When Mills had
concluded, however, and recess was taken,
she sighed as she arose. and when she turned
TO go out it was seen that her face wore an
expression of intense suffering, the eyes
were heavy and the mouth dropping. In the
afternoon Attorney Walker began his speech
for the defense and will finish tomorrow.
AT the rate the speeches are progressing the
case can hardly get to the jury before the
last OF the week.

Rude Awakening From Dreams Of
Good Whisky.
CLEVER SCHEME OF A swlNpLgR.
Distilicrs Pay Dearly For n Fabied
Drug That Would Change CoC-
fin Varnish Into Fine
Old Bourbon.


CHICAGO, May ia scheme rivaling IN
some respects the great electric sugar fraud
was exposed here to-day. The perpetrator
is q smooth-maunered young man named
John Archibald Comp, whose papers indi-
cate he has been operating in Kansas City,
St. Louis, Cincinnati and other places rs
well as in Chicago. He is now missing, and
it is said q good many thousand dollars be-
longing to various distillers aud liquor deal
ers have disappeared with him. Comp,
1t is stated by the authorities, pre-
tended TO possess compound which
would change poor whisky into the
finest grade. A gallon sample Of
the vilest "forty-rod," after being modicatcd,
would be placed in refrigerator, and in ten
minutes be taken out, transformed into the
finest Bourbon. If objection was madet
the refrigerator, Comp would accompany the
doubter to any place desired, and then retir-
ing to a private room, accomplish the Same
feat, without a refrigerator. 1t now turns
out, however, that the refrigerator was
really, as suspected, clever device by
which bottle containing good whisky was
substituted for the bad. The trick when
performed elsewhere than at the refrgera-
tor, was done by means of tin breastplate
or armor worn under Comps clothing. This
armor was double and was in reality reser-
voir which by means of concealed tube
could be emptied or filled at will. Comp was
inveigled into taking II detective into partner
ship with him, but when the arrest was COM
tempated smelt n mouse and fled, leaving
behind the refrigerator, but carrying of the
armor.
