Mrs. Chairs will leave the city to make
Their future home In Queen Anne's
county, Md, where they formerly resid.
ed, hence his resignation as president OF
the hrlstiau Mission, in which he faith
fully performed his duly, being always a.
his post. The vacancy thus made has
been flied by his faithful co-laboier, w.
2. Crouch. Knowing they would soon
leave their many friends. the members Of
the association thought they would make
The parting less keenly felt by making
the last hours spent with them as pls as
ant as possible. They were accordingly
invited to take tea with Mr.. and Mrs.
Red, and spend the evening with them.
While talking and chatting their atten-
tion was attracted by the sound OF many
moving feet and general hum of voices,
when the door suddenly opened and ST out

association with smiling faces and arms

quested TO take more prominent seat In

full and ornamental, and as each gilt was
received with tencer, afleciionate words
OF love each donor lelt the force of the
words OF holy writ, that It was more
bic ssed to give than to receive, and be-
tween The smiling and the weeping none
could tell which was the happier.
Amongst their many friends none did
m ore to contribute 70 the happiness OF
all present than ldasters Willie Chance
and Harry More, aged respectively and
years. After the disposal CT the glite,
appropriate remarks were made by Mr..
and Mrs. Chairs, thanking their friends
for thus remembering them, and urging
them to be faithful ard true to God and
each other. Still another surprise awaited
them when the door Of an adjoining room
was thrown open, displaying amid bloom

WIFE MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A Worthless Washingtonian's Awful Deed
ia School Room.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Oswald Allen
this afternoon shot his wife and then COM
mitted suicide in the presence of the schol-
ars in the room of which his wifeis teacher
in public school in this city. He gained
entrance to the building in some way and
entered the room unobserved by hiss wife
The children were the first to see him. and
when they showed alarm at his appear
ance he called on them not to make any
noise or he would shoot. Mrs. Aliens al
tention had meanwhile been attracted and
she stared to move but her husband was
by this time upon her, and say
ing Now I've got you where l
range, the ball taking effect near the right
ear and passing through the head. He
then turned the weapon on himself and
inflicted a fatal wound, the bullet enter
ing the right temple and passing through
the brain.
The murdered wife ana suicide fell to-
gether on the schoolroom floor, his arm
about her neck and the pistol lying on her
cheek. Some Of the more collected of the
children ran for the other teachers,
who succeeded it restoring order among
the panic stricken children. Police and
physicians were summoned and did every
thing possible to make Mrs. Aliens last
moments Tree from pAiu. onS fingered
only semi-conscious for some time and
passed away Her husband expired few
moments after the arrival of the police.
Mrs Aliens maiden name was john
son. Her father. r. NJ. johnson, is aD
old and we'll known resident of this city.
About thirteen years ago, against the adj
vice of her family and friends, she mar
ried her husband Oswald G. Allen, who
who came from Charlottesville. Va. He
was known as a worthless, indolent fell
low with no trade or livelihood,
but the murdered woman seemed to
be infatuated with him. The mar
riage was an unhap y one and Mrs.
Allen often said the only blessing was the
fact that no children were born. She was
a good teacher and was retained in the
public schools notwithstanding her mar
rage and her husbands drunken and
vicious habits. She supported her hus-
band until his abuse became intoerable,
when she left him. He has often been
sent TO the workhouse for vagrancy and
since he came into possession of a few
hundred dollars a short time ago he has
boon almost constantly in the hands of
the police for drunkenness.

JOURNALISTS STARTLED.
Two Sensational Stories that James Gordon
is in Khartoum.

NEW YORK, May 17-According to an
evening paper New York newspaperdom
and the great clubs are excited over the
latest news from Europe that James Cor
don Bennett, the proprietor of the new
York Herald, has gone to Khartoum, the
capital of the mahdi He left Paris three
weeks ago and went to Marseilles. thence
Alexandria and this week is in Cairo.
Two stories have been cabled over in ex-
PLANTATION of this irregular journey. One
is that at the Club Mereton in Paris one
night, an organization which resembles the
famous eccentric club ofJules Verne in the
character of many Of its members, an Of
ticer who had seen service in the Egyptian
army said that it was impossible for any
foreigner to enter Khartoum and depart
alive. a discussion arose In which were
cited the many instances of clever Euro
peans who had disguised themselves and
in this garb penetrated the most intoler-
ant and fanatic cities of the mOSlem world.
1t eliminated when Bennett, who was
taking an active part in the conversation.
declared that anyone possessing sufhclent
brains and money could visit the
mahdi and return unscathed and
offered heavy wager that be could HIM
self do it within the period of six months.
The bet was promptly accepted and Ben
nett, accompanied by an Intimate friend,
started forthwith upon the hazardous
journey.
The other story is far more startling.
On the evening in question at the club
mentioned Bennett received a long
dispatch from Cairo correspondent
stating that he had just received
a visit from an envoy of the mahdi with
important news regarding Chinese Gordon,
and that the latter was still alive and kept
a close prisoner; that the new mahdi, by
reason of his reverse on Kordofan and the
Cahr Alghazal and his loss of the great
province of Darfar, was willing to ran
som Gordon for million francs The
next few days Bennett made all arrange
ments for the trip and for the payment
of the vast sum mentioned and with an
friend SGT out for Egypt.
But little could be learned in New York
in confirmation of these stories. An editor
of the Herald stated that cablegrams
from Bennett were received from Marseilles,
and Cairo, but that nothing
was known in the Office. about his pros
pective movements.
