A Cry for Help.

WICHITA. Kan, Dec. 30.-Word comes
by wire to the authorities here of ex-
treme suffering in Stevens and adjoining
counties in the southwestern part of the
state. The storm reached here Saturday
with unusual and unexpected violence.
Many of the people there are without
food and many without fuel, and as
result the distress at present is pitiable
and the outlook very alarming. The
officials of Stevens reached nearly all the
counties of the Arkansas valley with
messages praying for relief in the way of
food, clothing and money with which to
buy fuel. They urge great haste in the
matter, as but a few days would in
numerous instances prove fatal. For
the past four years the crops have been
failures. but the impoverished farmers,
hoping for better times, did not move

TILE EX-EMPRESS DEAD.
DOM P5DRo's coNSORT CARRIED OFF
BY HEART DISEASE.

The Last Utterances of the Ex-EmpreSs
Were Expressions of Regret That She
Could Not be Surrounded by Her Chill
dren and That She Could Not Return
to Beautiful BraziI-Mr. Gladstone
Celebrates His sOth Birthday.
OPoRTo, Dec. 3O.-The ex-Empress of
Brazil, who was visiting here with Dom
Pedro, died Saturday. 1t is belle e7ed that
her death resulted from heart disease. The
illness of the ex-empress first assumed
an alarming phase Friday. 1t had been
the intention of the imperial family to
start for France on Saturday. The doctors
forbade the journey, for fear that excite
ment and fatigue would cause crisis.
The empress was, however, little better
Saturday morning. During the morn
ing Dom PEDRO went out for a promen-
ade and visited the Museum of Fine Arts.
He was found there by the Brazilian
consul, who had been despatched to
hasten his return to the hotel because
the condition of the empress had sud
denly become critical.
Before Dom Pedro arrived the empress
was dead. The remains will be tempor-
arily deposited in a mortuary chapel in
the Lapa convent here, and will be after
wards taken to Lisbon for interment in
the royal Pantheon.
OPoRTo, Dec 30-Dom Pedro has
been fairly deluged with kilograms and
letters, consoling with him for the loss of
his wife, the eX-empress of Brazil. The
last utterances of the ex-empreSs were
expressions of regret that she could not
be surrounded by her children. and that
she could not return to beautiful Brazil.
A Severe Blow to Dom Pedro.
LISBON, Dec. 30.-Upon arriving at the
bedside of the ex-empress, just after life
had passed away, Dom Pedro knelt and
kissed the forehead of the dead. He re-
mained motionless, and without speak
ing for long time. When he had some
what recovered himself he said to a
friend that he had experienced the Bit
terest trial that God could inflict. The
faithful and affectionate companionship
of his wife had sustained him for forty
six years. Goods will be DONE" he
added. Then noticing the eyes of the
dead still open he broke down and wept,
exclaiming: "Is it possible that these
dear, kind eyes will never again bright
en- on seeing me?' He closed and rev.
erently kissed the eyelids. He asked to
be left alone, and remained long time.
When calmer he requested the attend
ants to keep the empress death from the
public until the coronation festivities at
Lisbon were over. News had, however.
been sent everywhere. The Brazilian
minister cabled the provisional govern
ment of the event.
Sunday morning the cardinal bishop
said mass is the room where the body
lay. Dom Pedro and the governor of
the district were present. In the after
noon the body, which had been en-
balmed, was transferred to a chapelle
ardente. The government will probably
defray the expenses of the funeral. 1t
is expected that the king will go to
Opporto to attend the ceremonies.

MR.. PAYNE'S HORRORS.

Cleveland Anzeiger.
Several months ago Senator Payne
had to grin and bear it when Senator
Sherman, before an audience of three
thousand people, declared that Mr..
Payne had obtained his seat in the Sen
ate by shameless corruption. Now a
prominent Democrat, Mr.. Virgil Kline, re-
peated the charge before a large audience
at Mr.. Payne's home, and said at the
same time that the same outrage must
not be repeated, if the Democratic party
is not to be dangerously injured. What
will Mr.. Payne do when men of his own
party put the branding iron on him?
We suppose he will submit in silence,
for Mr., Kline could furnish the evidence
if Mr.. Payne should dare to join issue
with him.
