n Mysterious Murder in New York.

The killing of Diago Palisona in New York
on Saturday night is mystery to the police
authorities Of that city. Diago was found with
bullet hole in his neck in east 18th street.
No one in the vicinity of the place where the
body was found had heard any shot on Satur-
day night. At the police station yesterday
Miguel Domino, the sOn-in-law of the deceased.
said that Palisona went from his home at 8
o'clock Saturday night for the purpose of get
ting paper of tobacco. When the body was
found there was So, 500 in the trousers of the
murdered man. The theory which the police
hold is that Palisona was killed in a gambling
house near by, and to elude detection the body
was carried out to the street and left there.

Philadelphians Endorse Cameron.

The republican members-elect from Phila-
delphia to the next legislature met in caucus
on Saturday and unanimously resolved to sup
port ]. Donald Cameron for United States
Senator. This almost insures for him the
caucus nomination. He requires only sixty-six
votes to control the caucus. and gets forty-six
from Philadelphia. The caucus resolved to
support William H. Brookes for speaker
move not fully understood. Brookes is the
author of the famous high license act, and has
elected under pledges to have that salutary act
emasculated. Whether they want to get him
off the floor or simply to use the honors paid
him as cover for an attack on the high license
law does not appear

A CONFIDINo NEW YORKER.
How His Money Was Obtained by Il
Wilea Of an Englishman.

How His Money was Obtained by the
wiles Of an Englishman.
Friday afternoon two strangers met in the
monument grounds and scraping up an &C.
quaintance separated. They met again Satur-
day afternoon and when they parted we're
strangers once more. The men were Walter
Wilkinson, who recently came here from New
York, and tall, broad-shouldered Englishman.
who gave his name as William Gibson Wilkin-
son came here to see the city. but he was so
well pleased with IL that he thought he would
remain if he could get anything to do. He was
not particular either way, but be was bound to
see the city first That was what took him to
the monument grounds. Gibson, who was q
gentlemanly appearing man, met him and made
some remark about the size of the monument.
The conversation that followed drifted into
matters concerning the personal history and &C.
cupation of each OF them. Then it was that the
Englishman found bait for his hook and he
told Gibson that he was employed at Saks 4
Co.'S on 7th.street. Gibson had already said
that he had no employment but would accept
position il one came his way.
II think can get you job in Saks' store"
remarked the Englishman, and Gibson began
then to look upon him as q friend. That was
just the sort OF a job that would suit him, and
he went to his boarding house expecting that
the dawn of another week would find him be-
hind counter in the store of Saks Il Co.
He agreed to meet Gibson at the same place
in the lot near the monument ut o'clock Sat
urday afternoon and he kept his appointment.
Its all right" were the words with which
Gibson greeted him.
1.-THE clerks in the store have to wear uni
FORM" explained Gibson, land, of course, you
will have to provide yourself with one.''
Wilkinson informed his friend that had not
enough money to purchase the clothes, but
Gibson said he need not let that bother him.
II will fix that all right" he said.
Then Gibson told him that it would be nice
thing for him to board at his (Gibson's) house,
where he could make himself at home and en-
joy home comforts. Wilkinson agreed to board
there.
THE old woman's rates." Gibson said, "are
$40 month in advance"
Wilkinson hadn't but S14 and said he was
willing to pay that and settle the balance after
pay day. And so he gave up his cash money in
payment for his board.
snow you can 60 and get your valise," said
Gibson, land when you return your room will
be ready"
Wilkinson went after his valise and returned,
but was surprised when he reached the house
to find that his newly made friend had disap-
peared. He had only stopped at the house
couple Of days himself, and had gone and taken
his baggage with him.
Such was the story as related to Inspector
Swindells by Wilkinson, who would like to have
Gibson arrested and his money returned.

TALKING THEOSOPHY.
The Vice President of the Society Addresses o
Washington Audience.

Ine ice fres1uent OF the society Addresses D
Washington Audience.
Dennison Hall, at the top of 1913 street. is
not very big hall and does not hold as many
people as Madison Square Garden in New York,
but last night what space there is was fully
occupied by an interesting and interested audi
ence, intent on listening to Mr.. W. Q. Judge
expound the views of the Theosophical Society.
Mr.. Judge is New York lawyer, and is vice
president, secretary and one of the three
founders of the Theosophical Society in this
country.
MIR. Judge is quick energetic and straight
forward speaker with a good voice and at times
the merest trace of an Irish accent. The years
spent by him in India have given him an
especial power of illustration and explanation.
The title of his talk was THE TheOsOphical So
ciety; Its Doctrines and Works." First, giving a
sketch OF the formation of the society in this
country fifteen years ago by Madame Blavat-
sky, Col. Olcott and himself and its growth up
to the present day. with forty-nine branches
and 2, 600 members, he branched into the tenets
and teachings OF the society, the object Of
which, he said, were threefOld, to form all
over the world universal brotherhood of
man; second, for the study of ancient and
modern philosophy, and third, for the study of
the physical forces in man and the potent
powers in nature. Mr.. Judge explained the
doctrine of reincarnation.
Mr.. Judge gave an interesting sketch of the
religion Of Brahma and Of Buddha and Of the
philosophy of India.
The teachings Of the society, said Mr.. Judge,
were not opposed to Christianity. Its motto
was: There is no religion higher than truth"
In regard to hypnotism and spiritualism Mr..
Judge said the society had recognized their ex-
istence fifteen years ago, but had not mixed up
with them, as it considered the two as danger
GUS weapons, which should only be handled, if
at all, with the greatest care and under the re-
strictiOns both Of the laws Of nature and Of the
land.
At the close Of Mr.. Judges talk a food Of
questions was poured on him and he answered
and discussed them.
The meeting last night was under the direc-
ton Of Mr.. Raevel Savage.

NORTH CAROLINA.
What Representative Ewart Says OF the Elec.
tiOn I'm His State.


ton I'm His State.
s'None of my theories as to the cyclonic dis
turbance Of the 4th instant seem to be any
good" said Representative Ewart Of North
Carolina to a STAR reporter. Il was one Of the
few republicans that managed to hold things
pretty tightly and yet got left 1t is pretty diff
ficult for republican to be elected to any Of
fee in my state. The machinery is
all in democratic hands. All the reg
istrars were appointed by the boards
of county commissioners and they,
of course, were democrats. As a general thing
the registrars seemed to have been selected
because they resided in an out-of-the-way cor
ner OF the township; in some place not easily
reached. OF course, each registrar saw that
all the democratic names were on the list, but
he neglected the republicans more or less
principally more. Some republicans had to
travel ten or twelve miles for the pur-
pose of registering and some Of them
had to make more than one trip, because
the registrar was conveniently invisible; he was
not at home. Heretofore voters were allowed
to register up to midnight of the day pre-
ceding election. but the new law closes the
registration books week before the polls open.
Poor men cannot get away from their employ
ment to make the double trip and in that way,
especially among railway employees, we lost a
good many votes.
''Will make the race again? don't know,
but rather think not. Politics is mean bust
ness and spoils a man for anything else. If
one can afford it it's legitimate amusement"

Disturbance in a Church.

In the Italian Catholic Church at Hatton
Garden, London, yesterday the rector, Rev. Mr..
Bannin, took occasion to denounce Mr.. Parnell,
whereupon several members of the congrega-
ton left the church. A scene of great disorder
ensned, the people shouting Mind your own
business" leave politics alone" &c. On
leaving the church Father Bannin was attacked
by the crowd and was struck several times. He
was escorted home by the police, who had great
difficulty in protecting him.

Fire In q Sunday School.

While the Presbyterian Sunday school was in
session at Harrisburg, Va, yesterday morning
the church caught fire. The scholars, however,
were gotten out without any panic, and the fire
companies appearing promptly upon the scene
the fire was subdued before it spread to any add
joining buildings and before the church was en-
tirely consumed. The organ, which was one of
the finest in the valley, was destroyed. The
loss il covered by insurance.

A Former Washingtohian Who Has Settled

A Former WashingtOhian Who Has Settled
in the New State.
''Yes, the result Of the campaign in Montana
was a great surprise all round" The speaker
was Mr.. A. B. Clements. who resigned his COM
mission in the navy and left this city few
months ago to cast his fortunes with the new
state. He returned to Washington Friday on
a visit and the remark he made was in answer
to question by STAR reporter. "The repub-
hcans." he continued, "were betting on Carter s
receiving MA jority of not less than thousand,
but they forgot to take into account the active
pocket book Of Marcus DAILY and the shrewd
management Of A. j. Steele. The republicans
were confident up to midnight of the 4th, and,
with the exception OF a few extremely sanguine
politicians, the democrats we're convinced that
victory for Dixon was hardly to be expected.
One OF the things which initiated against Car
ter was the fact that he was from Helena. All
over the state there was outspoken expression
Of the idea that Helena was making a hog Of
herself, because she had the governor, two
Senators and the Representative. That was an
important factor, and when combined with
Dixon's popularity it had much to do with
democratic success.
MY interests are principally in Helena and
Great Falls and, by the way, Great Falls is 60
ing to be big place. Three smelters are go
ing up and we have an assured population of
10000. Montana is a pleasant place to live in.
Helena is the richest city in the world in pro-
portion to its population, and it is the most
populous city in the state. Its social life is
highly respectable and the city is filed with
beautiful homes, owned by people who are both
willing and able to entertain handsomely. 1t

being more money in the banks Of Helena than
in the combined banks Of Takoma. Seattle and
Spokane Falls. The only city in Montana that
can ever hope to compete with Helena is Great

What about Butte?" said the reporter
''Oh. Butte is only mining camp" replied
Mr.. Clements. ITO be sure, he went on. lit
is the greatest mining camp in the world. but
then it lacks the elements Of n city. Its popu-
latiOn is a floating one and everything-busi-
ness and social life-is necessarily crude So
long as the mines Of Butte hold out the city
will continue to exist but when the mineral
support vanishes there will no longer be any
excuse for Butte's existence.
Our climate? Bracing and healthful. See

And the winter" suggested the reporter.
Mr.. Clements smiled the frozen smile Of q

and then backed of with ''Good evening; I'm
