Cesar,s Proud Boast.

A Scotch minister was sorely kept under
by his "better half, who placed him and his
friends on very short allowance. On one &C.
casion he had visit from an old acquaint-
,nce, and after patiently waiting for his
wife's departure, she at length, as he thought,
retired for the night. She had no sooner left
than the henpecked husband exultingly ex-
claimed: 81 am determined to be Caesar in
my own house!" and at the same time rang
the bell and ordered refreshments.
Just as he and his friend were beginning to
enjoy themselves my lady" (who had over
heard her unfortunate lords boastful ejacu-
lation) popped her head in at the door and

touched purposely, from an impulse he
could not restrain he turned.
The old man apologized in most cour-
teous terms. His voice was pleasant, but
Holbrook felt that the dark eyes of the
old man most keenly and rapidly scru-
tinized his features.
However, he courteously responded to
his apologies and the old man passed out
into the street.
THAT was done on purpose" said the
acquaintance.
81 thought SO too" replied Holbrook.
The barkeeper, who had overheard this
exchange, said:
"He asked me who you were, sir"
What did you tell him."
That | didn't know. which was the
truth"
Holbrook went out. The old man
stood in the shadow of an adjoining door.
Holbrook leaped into a cab and told
the man to drive to the Hoffman house,
and then watched from the window to
see if he was followed.
The old man remained where Holbrook
had last seen him.
I've spent dollar and half for
nothing" he said. 1.-THE probability is
that he mistook me for some one else,
and discovered his error in the drinking
place." so he went on to his own hotel.
When he arrived there he went to the
desk for letters and cards that might
have been left him: he was told by the
clerk that gentleman had called upon
him during the evening, but had refused
to tell either his name or leave a card,
saying that he was unknown to Mr.. Hol-
brook, and would visit him at his office
some time during the following day.
Inquiring what the man looked like,
he was given a description which tailed
with that Of the old man whom he had
encountered on Broadway but an hour
previously.
To say he was alarmed would be to
say what was not true, but there is no
question but that it made him uneasy.
He began to doubt the ACCESSIBILITY of
the campaign upon which he had enter
ed, and into which he had been irresist-
IDLY drawn.
Now that he had taken a decisive step
in the direction of endeavoring to fasten
the responsibility of the murder upon
one so,near to Flora Ashgrove as the man
Fountain evidently was. he began to
wish he hadn't gone so far as to excite
Toms suspicious in that direction. 1t
seemed horrible thing to do.
And SO, disguised with himself and
more disturbed than he was willing to
admit, he sought his chamber

He represents nothing except the fnesse
of a desperate political brigand.
But he has the president behind him
together with the advice of the shrewd-
est and most unDrincipled leaders among
Northern Republicans. If he wants
money to buy votes he can have it, and
the president IS party will furnish it and
the president himself viii wink at it.
Why is all this? Is it for the good of
the country? Oh, no; but it will
strengthen the Republican party III its
next fight and give Harrison, it is hoped f,
denomination. Corruption in Virginia,
wholesale and open, is the means of CIV
ing the Republicans further hold on the
perquisites and emoluments of Office in
Washington.
These are not solitary instances; the
list might be indefinitely extended.
The question at the bottom of it all is
an important one. Is this government
being run for Doodle only?
We don It believe that honest patriot
ism is dead by any means. The people
still retain their power and their integrity
of purpose. But political tricksters have
them by the throat and are robbing them

They will wake up by and by, and then
we shall have some very interesting Incl
dents to chronicle.

FRENCH ELECTIONS.
The Contest To-day Will Decide the Rise or
Fall of Boulanger.

tau OF BOulanSer.
LoNDoE, Sept. 21.-The Paris and
London newspapers devote great guam
tity of space to speculation and predic-
ton as to the outcome of tomorrow s
elections in France. The various par
ties and factions which compose the vot-
ing strength of the republic, have for the
moment thrust be hind them all their
differences and grouped themselves as
reYisionists or antirevisionists in readiness
to contest the only issue involved
in the balloting. The government and
its supporters have all along secuted the
idea of Boulangist success, but the pre-
cautions which the ministry have taken
against possible violence and the strenu-
Gus efforts made to prevent the election
agents of the BOulangists from thorough
ly canvassing the country, betrays the
fact that they are more anxious than
they willing to admit. Troops have been
concentrated at all points where
the contest is expected to be
close or exciting, and every pos
sible precaution against fraud has been
taken. The belief most generally ex-
pressed by the press ond by experienced
politicians Is that the struggle will be one
MANY places where the Boulangists are
hopeiessly in the minority their candi-
dates have been withdrawn Notwith-
standing these Withdrawals, however,
there are 1897 candidates for the $40
seats to be filled. Paris and its suburbs
have forty-twO seats and these
are contested by 81 candidates, not
counting Gen. Boulanger himself and
Count Dillon. There is sure to be very
heavy voting everywhere and the opinion
seems to be most general that to-mor-
rows election will not be decisive, but
that a second ballot will have to be taken
in October in more than half of the div
ision.
The Pail Mall Gazette, in long arti-
Gle on the subject this afternoon, ex-
presses the opinion that nothing short of
a miracle can save the republic from los
ing ground in the contest.
Last Wednesday the body of wealthy
resident of the West End, named We'll

lowed the example of Mrs. Maybrick
and to-day the body was exhumed and
paced in the hands of chemical experts
for examination. The suspicious of the
brothers are based, in part, on the fact
that Mrs. Weldon IS first husband died

A HEARTLEss MURDER.
A Woman Kills Chrd Left in Her Charge
and Throws the Body in a Greek.


ELpoRADo. KAN, Sept. 2l-Last
Tuesday farmer named Dudley, VINO
lives three miles from Rosalia this coun-
ty, engaged Mr. and Mrs. Edwards to
assist him III gathering his crops, while
walking to the farm that afternoon they
were joined by Mr.. and Mrs. Bloomer
who were on their way home from Rosa
liza accompanied by their .three-year-o old
child. Arriving at the Dudley farm
Mrs. BIoomer placed her child in
Mrs. Edwards charge while she ac-
companied her husband to the field
to see Mr.. Dudley. When they re-
turned to the house; the child was mis-
sing. Neighbhrs were summoned to
institute search but the child could not
be found Mrs Edwards strange ac-
ton aroused suspicion and she was finally
charged with having murdered the child .
She denied the charge Indignantly
and search was continued The
child could not be found Mr. and
Mrs. Bloomer were satisfied that Mrs.
Edwards had made away with it, and to
test their suspicious, they proposed to exs;
tract confession from her. Accordb
ly, she was told she was to be hanged
and had better confess the crimesT She
obstinateIy maintained she Sknew
nothing of the cause Of the
child IS disappearance. A roEB was
found, one end placed about her
neck and the other thrown over adimb of
tree. Just as the body of the alleged
murderess was obout 70 leave the ground,
she broke down and confessed that dur
ing extreme annoyance at the clrilds
disobedience of her commands she had
killed it and given the body to-
her husband to dispose of it. He carried
it to a creek near by and threw it in the
water. Her husband denied any COM
plicity in the crime, and the same means
were resorted to to force
confession from him that
had been employed so successfully
upon his wife. He was strung up for a
minute or two and then cut down. He
then confessed he had seen his wife
herself carry the dead body of
the child to the creek and dispose of
it there. He himself, he said, had
nothing to do with the crime except to
witness the disposal of the body. A COM
mittee of neighbors was found to make
systematic search of the premises aud
the creek. Mr.. BIoomer, father of the
missing child, was made chair
man of the committee, and he is
directing all details of the affair. Mr..
and Mrs. Edwards have been placed in
charge of a committee. If Mrs. Ed
wards storp is verified both she and her
husband will doubtless be lynched
by the committee, as great excitement
prevails over the affair. So long as
there is any doubt as to the guilt of both
or either of the accused Mr.. Bloomer re-
fuses to take any action.
