Southern hotel in st. Louis several wears
ago. has occurred at Princeton. Ont.
Frederick c. Benwell and wife arrived in
New York Feb. IA from London. With
them were j. Burchell and wife, and Will
lam Policy. After remaining in New York
a few days they went to Niagara Falls. At
that point Benwell crossed over into Can
ada, saying that he was going to purchase
farm near Princeton, Ont. A short time
afterwards his body wasfound There were
ten bullet holes in his head. His name had
been cut from all his clothing, and he had
been robbed of everything except a cigar
case. Whoever murdered him overlooked
the fact that his name was on this case.
Suspicion pointed to the two men Burchell
and Policy, who were with him when he
left New York. They were arrested The
murdered man belonged to a good family,
and great efforts will be made to discover
his murderers. In the Preller case, it will
be remembered, the murdered man was cut

After His Life.

A life insurance agent, Benjamin Gum, heard
hat old Bromley had no insurance upon his
life. so Gum determined to drop in and see
him. The result is told by the Yankee Blade:
Bromley had no acquaintance with Gunn
and when the latter entered the Office he intro
duced himself by saying:
Mr. Bromley, called to see if could take

"Wh-wh-what d'you say?' exclaimed
Bromley in some alarm.
II say that I've come around to take your

you were unprotected, that you had nothing on
your life, thought would Just run in and set

Then Bromley got up and went to the other
side of the table and said to himself:
by, George, it's Innate who has broken
out of the asylum. He'll kill me if l boiler or
run. must humor him"
Then Gum, fumbliug in his pockets after his
mortality tables, followed Bromley around the
room and seid to him:
You can choose your own plan, you know
It's immaterial to me. Some like one and some
like another It's matter of taste. Which
one do you prefer?'
I'D rather not die at all, said Bromley, in
despair
But you've got to die, of course" said Gum,
that's thing there's no choice about. All
can do is % make death easy for you, to make
you feel happy as you go off. Which plan will
you take?''

The bill TO increase the salaries of dis
trict judges Of the United States to al. 600
year, which was passed by the Senate
this week. was opposed by a number OF
southern senators, Senator Colquitt among
them. These senators say that they OBJ
posed it on account Of the partisan work
Of some Of the judges. Judge swayne. Of
Florida, for instance, certainly does NOT de-
serve to have his salary increased. Its by
no means certain that the bill will become
law even though it has passed the Senate
That body has passed II four times. but II

Jake Kllrain deserves the sentence Of two
months imprisonment for. prize-fghting.
He deserves more than that, but he was
probably let off easy because he appeared to
be very clever sort of prizs-ighter; and
the verdict might have been set aside
altogether if he had not re-entered the prize
ring recently. Next week Su.livan's APP
peal will be heard. He is under sentence
for one years imprisonment, and if the
sentence is executed, as it probably will be,
prize lighting will be less popular than it is
now.

Congressman Turner, of New York, is of
the opinion that love rules the world. When
the Oklahoma bill was under consideration
in the House the other day he went to the
commireepan who had charge of it and
begged fpra chance to make speech upon
it, The Kind hearted committeeman granted
his request, wondering the while, however,
why the congressman wanted to speak on
that bill. Mr.. Turner made an eloquent
speech, and it produced fine effect. The
members specialized among themselves as
to what had inspired him to make such an
eloquent effort. 1t soon leaked out that his
sweetheart was in the gallery, and Turner
was showing her the kind of an orator he
is. The lady's name is Miss Winnie W.
Lewis, and there is to be wedding in the
Lewis family when the apple trees are in
bloom, and Mr.. Turner will be there.

The people of St. Louis are puzzled over
the case of John j. OConnor, and well they
may be- The MORNING News stated the
other day that Mr.. O'Connor was thought
to have died, that his wife thought she
recognized his remains at the morgue, that
the body was buried, and that subsequently,
MIR. OConnor appeared in the flesh before
his widow" Mr.. O'Connor tells a very
remarkable story. He believes that the
body which his wife saw at the morgue was
really his own, as he has no recollection
whatever of anything that happened from
Monday to Wednesday night. He thinks
he was buried while in state of suspended
animation, that medical students unearthed
the body a few hours later, and that the
first incision OF the dissecting knife caused
a flow OF blood which restored him par
TALLY to consciousness. Wednesday night
he found himself the court house steps.
weak and sick, and with cut half way across
the abdomen. Some people think, however,
that O'Connor had a double, that this double
was buried, and that O'Connor has Just
recovered from very drunken condition.

If President Harrison has had reason TO
use the veto power during the first year of
his term Of office, he has neglected his
duty. 1t is highly probable that he has
signed bills which ought to have been
vetoed. Mr.. Cleveland made a reputation
as a veto President before he had been in
Office year. Comparing his record in this
respect with that of President Harrison,
the Washington Post says: 1.-THE logic of
this comparison is that the present congress
is either more careful than the Forty-ninth
congress was, or the present chief executive
less given to picking out flaws in le1isla-
ton" Nobody will suppose for moment
that the VIGOROUSLY partisan Fifty-first con-
gress is careful to enact none but good laws.

The Philadelphia Press devotes several
columns to what it claims has been done by
Postmaster General Wanamaker during the
first year of this administration. Here is
an extract from the article: ''No political

none is still so little understood and SO much
misrepresented as his southern appoint

master General as well as of the President
