Governor Luce's Message.

In his message to the legislature, Gov.
Luce calls attention to many questions
that are of Importance to the people;
discusses in terse language the salient
points in each; admonishes the law
makers to use caution in their legisla-
ton, that their acts may stand the scru-
tiny of the supreme court, and on this
topic says: "A growing evil has been
developed in more recent legislation by
the enactment of laws in conflict with
the constitution of the state.
The failure of SO many laws in recent
years somewhat weakens confidence in
the wisdom of the legislature that en-
acts and the executive who approves
these measures" and earnestly recon-
mends 1.-The appointment of joint
committee composed of three of the
most eminent lawyers in the two houses,
whose duty it shall be to carefully ex-
anime proposed legislation with IA view
of determining its constitutionality.
The governor gives the liquor ques-
ton more space than any other topic
and from him we quote "A few sentences:
THE policy of all civilized countries
is To discourage intemperance and nit
igate its evils by legislation This is
eminently true of our own state. The
questions connected with it form one of
the most difficult problems submitted
To you for solution. Evil
dences of the magnitude of the evils of
intemperance are to be found in every
direction Those who visit our state
prisons, reformatory and charitable in
stitutions with desire to investigate
the causes that fill these institutions,
are painfully reminded of the evils in
flicted upon society by the traffic in,
and use of, strong drink. 1t is certainly
the right and the duty of law makers to
exhaust every effort in applying rem
edy for these evils, and when the rem
edy is discovered, whatever it may be,
il must be fearlessly and effectively APP
piled. The sentiment of our state, as
clearly indicated at the polls, is i'm favor
of the adoption of such measures as will
restrict the evils of intemperance to the
narrowest possible limits, and in doing
this we must not forget that the laws
relating to this subject, as well as 9TH
ers, must be enforced by public senti-
ment. Ii is To be de-
plored that agencies once so promising
and potent have been impaired, even
destroyed, by strife and contention, and
some that were once active IN propa-
eating and building up temperance SEN
timents are now using their power
solely and alone to propagate and build

mn party. Believing
that the sentiment of large portion OF
the state is ripe and ready for it, COM
mend to your consideration the passage
Of local option law, If one can be de-
vised free from constitutional objec-
tons"
The message, as whole, is the most
comprehensive and thoughtful state pa
per issued by the executive of this state
i'm many years.

DR.. Baker, of Berrien, and Mr.. Dieke-

the better handled and he was nomi-

Mrs. Logan Snubbed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-It is no secret
among the most intimate friends of Mrs.
logan that the widow of the deceased
soldier and statesman feels acutely the
newspaper publication in which certain
society women OF the capital are repre-
sented as antagonizing her In every pos
sible way, and that she believes that
these covert attacks cmanate from
su2rces that persistantly maligned her ia
nous husband in his lifetime. How
ever this latter impression may be-and
there are good reasons for the belief
that IL is not altogether I'M
founded and that the mantle
Of malignant vituperation that was
thrown around the husband has been
cast in the direction of the widow-it is
OF least certain that the stories concern
ing the alleged snubbing of Mrs. Logan
have not altogether emanated from the
Drain of some inventive genius. 1t is
known as a matter of fact that at least
one cabinet lady who is looking toward
possible future honors that center at
the white house. has expressed herself
pretty strongly regarding the semi-po-
litical RELATIONS that have been alleged
to exist between Mrs. Logan and Cen
eral Alger, and that while having no
personal antipathy to the widow, they
are decidedly out Of sorts regarding the
prominence that General Alger has
attained among the Logan follow
ing. The friends Of Mrs. Logan, how
ever, are calm and serene and it is more
than likely that before q couple of
years have passed, and a presidential
convention begins 70 approach, more
than one naughty dame who imagiaes
that the u will stand still at her hid
ding will be compelled to bite the dust
The war Of ~petticoats Is on, and. al
though the friends Of the senator's
widow may not be recognised as Of the
cabinet, they have still IN outside fol-
lowing that Is powerful enough 10 make
or unmaks presidents. Every slight put
upon the widow. fancied or intended, is
being treasured up by her friends, and
when the proper time arrives the facts
will be used to the best possible advan-
tage. The spirit Of Black Jack is not
dead, it only slumbers.

The End OF a Gamblers Tour.

NEw YORK. Oct. 31.-Last March
Joseph Fennell, Of Wichita, Kan, set
out for a tour Of the world with q faro
layout, which cost s422. All that re-
mains OF Joseph, a small bag Of ashes,
was today shipped from the ~quarantine
hospital on Swineburne Island in Lower
New York bay, to his young wife. Fem
nell was a passenger ON the Honduras
and Central American eompany's
steamer Hondo, which arrived at this
port on September Is. After his death,
which Health Officer Smith pronounced
due TO yellow fever, a diary was found
among his effects which showed the
course Of his travels since he left
Wichita. According TO IL Fennell must
have exercised his skill chiefly upon
chance acquaintance on steamers and
railroad trains. Two days after the
vessel arrived at quarantine, Fennell
died of yellow fever, and his body was
cremated. The three pounds OF earthly
remains were shipped to his wife in his
trunk, which also carried his gambling
tools.

speaker. He explained TO the audience
that the convention in Chicago did not,

that a crowd was coming in about the
time the flag was brought out, and the
kissing was intended to stop the noise
and was not directed against the flag.
Mr.. Shevitch proceeded to stigmatize
the execution of the anarchists as a
cowardly murder, and said that white
slavery, like negro slavery, would be
wiped out In blood.

The Benders Found Again.

NILES, Mich, Oct 3l.-The trial Of
Mrs. Eliza Davis for grand larceny has
brought out the fact that Mrs. Monroe
(Mrs. Davis mother) was connected
with the Bender murders in Kansas.
Her daughter, Eliza, insists positively
that Mrs. Monroe is old Mrs. Bender.
officers from Kansas have been in the
state for ten days investigating the
case, and are satisfied that they have at
last discovered the notorious Bender
family. 4 requisition has been asked
for, and as soon as it arrives tie prison
ers will be taken to Labette county,
Kansas, for trial.
Much interest was manifested, and
many blood-curdling and horrible reve-
lations were brought out during the ex-
animation. Mrs. Monroe, with a half
dozen other aliases, and Mrs. Eliza
Davis, her daughter, have apparently
been identified as old Mrs. Bender and
Kate. During the trial many facts were
adduced tending TO show that Mrs
Monroe was connected with the Bender
murderers in Kansas. By her own ad-
missions she has had seven husbands
and a number OF them have mysteriously
disappeared. She has had two weeks in
which TO establish her whereabouts from
1870 to 1875, and the statements she has
made covering those dates prove to be
untrue, and she either cannot or will
not account for her doings.

A Mysterious Murder Cleared Ur

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 3l.-May Q, 1883,
a widow named Foreman, aged rs, and
her daughter, aged SO, were found muir.
dered near Traders Point, ten miles
from the city. They were known to be
very wealthy, and as no money was
found upon the premises it was sup
posed the murder was for the purpose
of robbery. Suspicion pointed TO the
relatives of the murdered women, but
on trial there was no evidence against
them. Some days ago Mrs. w. III.
Maubaum, whose husband has been
since July an inmate of the insane
asylum, said that he had told her that
he and two companions, whose names
he could not give, committed the muir
ders, and that he got $3.50 for his share
Of the crime. Yesterday the grand
jury heard the evidence of Joseph CASH
day, of Brownsburg, who says that Kate
Weaver and her aged father saw the
nurderers come from the house and
recognized them. The murders intimi-
dated the Weavers, who have kept
silent for six years. Arrests are ex-
pected TO be made at once.

the man who was jailed here last night,

Raide the Beer Joint.

HANOVER, N. H., Oct. 3l.-In accord
ance with an ancient custom, the fresh
mon had their freshmen beer" last Sat-
urday night. A keg OF the ~intoxicant
was brought up into one of the halls
just before midnight, and a large crowd
had gathered to partake. Very l:tile
had been drawn, however, when four of
the faculty made their appearance. The
boys were seized with a strong desire for
fresh air and at Rce stampeded. The
professors captured quite o number,
however, but released them ON learning
their names. The professors then threw
the beer out Of the window.
