More Mystery surrounding the
kidnapping of the st. Louis Heir
ess.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2O.-There is as much
mystery as ever surrounding the where
abOuts Of Miss Alice Jackman, the six
teen-year-Old kidnapped heiress. When
the girl was KIDNAPPED from in front of
w. Ii. Brouthers' house, OH Miss ssippi
avenue. she was taken to the House of
the Good Shepherd. That much is posi-
lively known. Last night she Was mys-
teriously spirited away from that
institution, as related in these dis
patches. Although the sisters of the
House of the Good Shepherd claim that
Mr.. Sphinx placed the girl in the insti-
tuition, MIR. Taylor has knowledge of
her whereabouts, he claims, and says il
either Of the Spinks, Charles g., his
S0n-in-law, or AL H., the brother of his
sOn-in-law, placed Alice there, or had
anything to do with her kidnapping,
they never acquainted him with the
fact, and acted without his knowledge
or consent. Mr. Brouthers and
Mr.. Estes. his attorney, were
very much exercised over the
girls absence, and determined
to make every effort to regain possession
of her. In accordance with Judge
WOerner'S order, MIR. BroutherS got
ready his bond to-day as guardian of
the child. 1t is in the sum of SS,UO0 and
the American Surety company is on 1t.
Judge WOerner stated from the bench
Monday that he would appoint Mr..
BrouIhers the girls guardian to-mor-
row Crhursday) morning, providing he
could in the meantime give bond of
5000 for the faithful performance of
his trust. 1t is now claimed that when
Miss Jackman was taken from the House
of the Good Shepherd she was placed
in closed carriage and driven to the
narrow gauge depot at Vandeventer av-
enue and Normandy street, where she
was placed on board train for Nor
mandy, at which place she was received
into convent. During her removal
she did not struggle or scream. She en-
tered and left the carriage without the
slightest objection. Both the sister who
received the girl at the House of the
Good Shepherd and the mother supe-
riOr stated that she could be seen at the
Normandy institution by any person
whom she desired to see without
any order being given the caller.
The Normandy institution was school
which the girl was to attend. At the
parentinstitutiOli,o n Seventeenth street,
it was the custom not to admit any one
to see girl unless they were accom-
panied by her parents or guardian, or
had an order from them. This was be-
cause girls who were placed there were
supposed to be kept from people on the
outside world. The law against kidnap-
ing in the state provides penalty of
imprisonment in the penitentiary for
term not exceeding ten years.

a. n
The trait of generosity in the Irish
nature never had a more beautiful eX-
qualification than in the readiness with
which her countrymen responded to an
appeal for the relief of Mrs. PARNELI,
the widowed motheruf the leader of the
Irish cause in the British parliament.
While the incident reflects great credit
upon the Irish nationality, it does. how
ever, place Mr.. PARNELL in dlsad-
yantageouS light. and may possibly
weaken his influence in the future. 1t
Is true that when he learned of his
mothers restitution he cabled his
American agent to provide her with
funds, and to inform him of the exact
condition of her financial affairs. But
it will occur to the public at large that
Mr.. PARNELL ought TO have acquainted
himself earlier concerning his mothers
affairs, and should long ago have made
ample provision for her maintenance.
The IriSh-Americans have been very
generous in supplying Mr.. PARNELL
and his associates with funds to help
along the cause of Irish freedom, nor
have they been eXacting of him in the
matter of receiving accounts to show
the distribution of these funds. They
have trusted TO his honesty and his abil-
ity to place the money where 1t would
do the most good; nor Is there any evil
dence that this confidence has been
abused. 1t has been we'll enough I'M
derstood that. in order to retain his seat
and influence in parliament, Mr.. PAR
NELL has had to keep up an expensive
establishment and to be liberal i'll his
outlay of money. There has been no
disposition on the part of any one con-
tributing to the Irish fund to question
lIr. PARNRLL's right to use as
much of it as may be neees-
sary towards defraying his personal
expenses or for maintaining the dignity
of his position as member of the
British parliament. 1t is a notorious
fact, however, that Mr.. PARNELL is
fast liver. Whether he depends entirely
upon his own resources, or draws from
the national fund, is matter of no con-
sequence IN this connection. The point
we are making is that, in being so aw-
fully good and generous to himself, it
was Mr.. PARNELL's first duty to see
that those of his own household were
first provided for, and he should not have
exposed the cause of which he is the
leader to reproach by TINS public eXhi
bition of his old mothers restitution. 1t
will not occur again, for the American
people are now aware of her condition,
and will see to it that she suffers no
more from a pinehing poverty. 1t Is
also probable that MIR. PARNELL, hav-
ing been so fOTcibly reminded of his do
nestle duties, will take the precautiOn
in the future that the old lady shall not
be dependent on strangers for charity.
It would have been better for Mr.. PAR
NELL'S reputation, however, if he had
been a little more thoughtful this time.
Patriotism. like charity, should always
begin at home.

MOsHERvILLE. Mich. Nov. 20.-On
Monday Mrs. Nathaniel Strang, of
Jacksonville, Mich. tried to kill herself
and her daughter with aconite, as she
feared that murderers were after them.
A doctor saved the woman, but Mrs.
Strang remained in a state of great
nervous excitement. During the tenn
porary absence of her husband she
filled two tumblerS with solution of
paris green, and handing one to her
daughter, Maude, handsome girl of
eighteen, and taking the other herself,
she drank her dose and forced the girl
at the muzzle of revolver to also swal
low the draught. Mrs. Strang died
about midnight in horrible agony, and
her daughter an hour or two later.
Maude insisted to the last that her
mother had forced her to drink the
poison, said she did not want to die, and
begged piteOusly of her friends and the
physician to save her life.

WHY THEY RUSH.
The Reason That Young Men
Crowd for Seats.

The Reason That Young Men
Crowd for Seats.
New York Star.
Short as the trip from New York to
Brooklyn over the big bridge is, one
may learn something every time one
makes it. A flood of light was thrown
upon me on the home journey yesterday
afternoon. l noticed that in the rush
for seats between $50 and $40 o'clock
some women joined in the scramble,
whila others moved on slowly and
gracefully. [ observed also that those
latter were all either very pretty or very
stylish, or both.
When all who had seats were seated,
| further observed those girls either
languIdly reaching their lovely hands
up to lay hold of the balancing straps,
so thoughtfully provided by the trus-
tees, or gazing pensiyely at the patterns
of their gloves. But did they
stand or gaze long? 1 guess not.
In less than three seconds as
many young men as there were
pretty strapped ladies had risen,
and with hat in one hand pointed to va
cant seats with the other. 1t may be
also stated here, incidentally, that the
swiftest rusheS for seats among tha
madding crowd are those young men
and for reasons justimplied. Had they
no seats they would not have an Oppor-
tunity of making graceful bows i'll pres.
ence of an audience more Or less appre'
ciative. Surely there is in benefcent
nature law of compensation.

THE vEsT-ARMoUR AFFAIR.

THE tEST-ARMOUR AFFAIR.
Old KSOP was right about it. Time
and place have something to do with a
mans courage. Here is a notable
Illustration. When Senator VESTS COM
mittee was in Chicago, investigating the
dressed beef industry, Mr.. ARMOUR and
the other bull magnates held Mr.. VEST
and his committee in such great con-
tempt that they refused to appear before
this OffShOOt of senatorial dignity and
give testimony relating to their business
affairs. The Missouri waistcoat had
never been pulled down in this style be-
fore, but the affTOnt was borne in silence
because the row happened to occur on
Mr.. ARMOUR'S dunghill. Now that Mr..
VEST aud his committeeman are safely
back under the dome of the national
capitol, their courage has revived, and
they have their officers out securing
the country with attachments for
the rebellious Chicago beef kings, and
propose TO mulct them in damages and
expose them to the tortures of the CAPT.
tOl dungeon for holding senatorial dig
nifty in such light estimation. 1t is given
out in Chicago newspaper circles that
Mr.. ARMOUR is really frightened by
Mr.. VESTS belligerent attitude, and is
willing to tender written apology for
his bOorish conduct during the time that
Mr.. VESTS distinguished party were
the guests of the Garden City. 1t is ex-
pected that by the aid of CHARLIE FAR
WELLS diplomatic skill the entente
cOrdiale can be restored, and the eoun-
try Will be saved from the ridicule of
Brazilian revolution. King PHILIP
ARMOUR in exile and Senator GEORGE
VEST at the head of the armies of the
republic would be sight to make the
gods weep.

WAR OVER BLOOD MONEY.
Badgers Fighting for the Reward
for HOIZhay's Capture.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 2O.-Now that
Holzhay is safe in prison, his captors
are beginning a fight for the reward
offered for his capture. This amounts
to 81. 100. of which the Wisconsin Cen
trail contributes $1,000; the Milwaukee.
Lake Shore & Western $1,000, and the
town of Belleville. ILL.,. where Fleisch-
bein lived, 800. Originally $500 more
was added to this. but the Milwaukee
& Northern, which offered $500, and the
postoffice department, which offered
$1,000. Withdrew their offers shortly
before Holzhay's capture. There
are now five claimants for the
money, viz; Deputy sheriff Glode and
Justice Weiser arrested Holiday; the
constable who thumped HolZhay into
Inconsistencies, when he was strug
CLING with the officers and Landlord
O'Brien and his son. who notified the
authorities of HolZhay's suspicious
looks and actions. The two railroads
interested stand ready to pay over the
money just as soon as the conflicting
claimants settle division among them
selves. Unless they do this the money
will remain in the treasury. SO far, no
formal application has been made. The
matter has been turned over to District
Attorney Howell, of Bessemer, who will
act for the companies.

standing the statutory provisions, they
were justified in falling back upon the
fundamental maXims of the common
law, and accordingly delivered an opin-
ion dispOssessing the young murderer
of the property and giving it to the next
of kin, who were not named In the old
mans will. Only one of the judges dis
scented from this opinion, who held that
while morality and equity demanded
that the murderer should not profit by
his crime. still he felt that the statutes
left him no choice but to give the prop
erty TO the heir named in the will. He
saw in the circumstance, however, a
clear demand upon the legislature to
provide for future contingencies of this
sort.

PARIS Letter to Brooklyn Eagle.
The Buffalo Bills, as they call the
show here, have had great success.
The syndicate is thinking of getting up
winter show which they expect to be
as successful. But doubt if there re-
mains any one in Paris who will care
to go to any show so soon after having
had such a suff1ciency of them this
summer. Mime. Nevada few
days ago offered the spice, to
a few guests, of meeting the In
dian Sioux chief, Red Shirt, at
luncheon. She had him sit next to Buff
falo Bill in case he might be ignorantef
some of the rules of hospitality and
would want management. But, to her
surprise, he kept all the strict rules of
table manners; not the most civilized
gentleman could have done better.
He wore his Sunday-gO-tO -meeting
blanket. Don't smile. for it is his Sun
day-go-to-meeting blanket. He mas
been converted to Catholicism and
wears that blanket at mass. Amusing
incident: While Red, Shirt was con-
vivially breaking bread with US, a son
was born to him in the camp adjoining
the Enclosure of the show.
