A dasIardly attempt to burn thee children was discovered last Friday at midnight. Mrs. Chonah Woolsey, living next 10 MT. Byers, in Neahrs Addition, after one alarm early in the evening, was awakened by the crack ing of dry timber and the down pour of stitiing smoke She reused her lit tie children and dragged them into the dark night. An old lady, living in a rear annex, managed to hobble out doors at the same time. The roof was found to be blazing. No water could be got except that in an olla or two. This was quickly thrown upon the roof. Then, in desperation, the fright ened woman dashed a tub of lye, from which soap was being made, upon the ignited shingles, and at length the house was saved A roll of old rags saturated with grease and filled with matches tumbled off the roof and thus it became apparent that deliberate effort to burn at least four helpless hu- man beings had been made Should the atrocious fiend be discovered, short work would doubtless be made of him.-Phenix Herald.

THE cruelties practiced by Russia towards it's subjects have long been a prolific source of unfavorable com ment. Its barbarous treatment of its helpless political prisoners in the wilds of Siberia is among the most in human that can be devised. At the best their lot is a terrible one, but when the most degrading indignities are heaped upon the poor unfortun- stes and their feeble resistance is re- warded with deliberate murder, the incarnation of fendish despotism is the ghastly spectacle held up to civil ization as the price of disloyalty to the autocrat who rules one of the greatest nations of the earth.

A QUEER CASE.
A Hotel Keepers suit Against William
Walter Phelps Supporters.

The Phelps Guards of Paterson, n. j., we're
organized in 1872, when William Walter Phelps
first took his seat in Congress-. The orsaniza-
ton soon became a political power in that part
of the state. In lsS6 Mr.. Phelps made q visit
to Paterson TO rally his forces for the next cleo
ton. He and his private secretary put up at
the United States Hotel, at Market and Union
streets. They entertained a number OF their
constituents, who pledged Mr.. Phelps many
times. smoked many fine cigars and had good
time generally. Mr.. Phelps money gave out
before he was through, as he had not come pre-.
pared for such Il protracted sitting. and he sent
down TO the proprietor to borrow IS 20 take
him and his secretary to New York. The
money was sent by the proprietor and MIR.
Phelps and his secretary went away.
After they lad been gone some time Mr.. Al
bert A. Van VOORHEES,, the proprietor, sent the
cigars 10 Mr.. Phelps. lie got no response
and the matter was dropped for awhile, rs Mr..
Van VOORHEES, did not doubt the ability OF Mr.
Phelps TO pay the bill Finally Har-
rison was elected President and Mr..
Phelps went 10 Europe. As the hill had NOT
been paid Mr.. Van VOORHEES,. thinking that the
statute of limitations would interfere with his
collecting the bill after MIR. Phelps return,
began a suit IN the district court against the
Phelps Guards of Paterson for the amount OF
tne Dill livery one ihOuknt that rather th6n
have the matter made public the guards would
pay the bill. but they Intend 70 fight il.
Charles Il. Hindle, the president OF the
guards, says they are going to oppose the clam
on the ground that Mr.. Phelps owes the bill
and that the articles were charged TO him at
the time. THE lawyers on both sides, the judge,
and the clerk of the court members of the
guards. The case will come up next Tuesday.
Mr.. Phelps. whose integrity Is unimpeach-

MISS LETTER IN LONDON.
The Chicago Heiress Exciting Particular
Interest in English Society.

New York Suns Cable.
The close Of the London season has been
made moderately lively by the profound in
terest taken by a number Of young English
men of more rank than wealth in the gifts and
graces Of the latest American heiress, Miss
Letter Of Chicago, who arrived here about six
weeks ago with her mother. simultaneously
with a report crediting her father with an
annual income of &l,000,000 and the
daughter with 100000 in her own right.
This young lady, who is q most quiet and
charming person in herself has attracted great
attention and developed ali unusual amount of
spite and i'll nature among her fair compatriots
already established here. She owes her intro
duction into English society chiefly to Sir
Charles Hall, who, il will be remembered. was
British delegate TO the marine conference held
in Washington last spring. As the foreign
members of that conference were treated with
great neglect by the government the
British representative, then plain Mr..
Hall, was proportionately grateful to
those Americans in private life who treated
HIM with politeness aud hospitality. Prom
inent among these were Mrs. Letter in Wash
ington and Mrs. Edward Cooper in New York.
On the advice of Mrs. Cooper Mrs. Letter and
her daughter, instead OF spending the summer
in Newport. decided late In the season to 60
to England. They reached London just be-
fore the Prince OF Wales last garden party
at Marlborough house, and Sir Charles
Hall, who is not only o clever lawyer
and one Of the most agreeable men IN
London, but particular friend of the heir to
the throne, Immediately called upon the Chi
cago ladies and secured them the lofty honor
OF an invitation to the garden party. This
put them in the swim, and the rumor OF the
immense wealth Of the young lady and her
father made them really the features of the
closing weeks of the season. They have
attended all the smart balls of the last
fortnight with the exception of that of the
Duchess of Buccleugh, to which, as a cynical
Euglishman remarked, no Jews or Americans
we're invited. Miss Letter, however, was the
center OF interest at the ball given by Mrs
Marshal o. Roberts at Spencer house, in spite
of the circumstance that an English beauty
was heard to observe that it would have been a
really beautiful ball il Mrs. Roberts had not
spoiled 1t by inviting her own friends.
What the eventual fate of Miss Letter may
be cannot yet be foretold. She has, however,
been already given away In polite society to
the heirs OF two peerages. Az she 10 at pres

FARMER ALLIANCE PLANS.
To Wrap Cotton I'm Cotton Bacging and
10 Ship Direct TO Europe.

From the Augusta. Ga Ch7ouicle
lhe Farmers Alliance has taken two inn
portant steps lately. which will be watched
With interest in the business world One Is the
decision that cotton bagging wall be the regu-
iatlon wrap OF the crop this TALL Il now looks
a. II the jute boycott would be continued and
II may be that in few years cotton will be the
only covering employed in the United States.
Last years experiment with cotton WAS not en-
tirely successful, nor is il probable that this
years record will be conclusive. But the
sturdy action Of the farmers broke up the jute
trust, and may develop, this season or the
next, at furthest, a reliable substitute ~ .

Increased consumption would. II IL believed,
add 10 the market price OF the staple at least 4
cent n pound; consequently every bale of 500
pounds would be worth $3.50 more than 10

would be but % cents per bale.
The other eXpedlent suggested by the Farm
ers Alliance Is that the trustees. who are to
meet in Atlanta this month. be requested TO
make arrangements by which that portion of
southern cotton which goes to Europe shall be
shipped from southern ports directly to the
consumers IN Europe. THIS is movement in
the interest of direct trade, which has long
been dream in the south. IL is no boycott in
any sense, but plain business proposition for
which the south has been working and hoping
for twenty five years. 4 he idea Is TO clear the
cotton crop through our southern ports, saving
the price on the long haul to New York and
cutting of as much extra handling ~ posi-
bic. If a line of steamships could be put on
from Brunswick, Savannah or Port Royal to
Europe, Georgia could not only market her
crop, but build up foreign trade entirely
through home markets. The development Of
these practical questions will be watched with

ton and cure of pulmonary consumption. Az
reported by the Medical Record DIR. Koch said
that he had not only succeeded in comforting
upon guinea pigs, which are known to be pc
culiarly susceptible TO tuberculosis, perfect inn
munity against the disease, but had also dis
covered means OF averting the growth and null
tiplication Of tubercle bscin after incubation"
The promise implied in these words ia OF
