WANTS PAY FOR HER CRIME.
A Chicago Woman Seeks Remuneration
for killing Her Husband.

CmCAGo. April 22.-The APPELLATE court
decided that conviction in the criminal
court could not be used as final evidence
against Il plaintiff in a civil suit. Mrs.
Lena Schreiner sued the Catholic Order
of Foresters for $1,000 insurance on the
life of her husband, who she had killed
10y pouring kerosene oil over him and
igniting it. She pleaded guilty of man
slaughter, and is now serving FIVE years
sentence in Joliet. The Foresters did not
pay the money on the ground that she could
not take advantage of her own wrong.
One of the pleas of the Foresters was
record of the womans conviction in the
criminal court. Judge Morgan decided
that this is not 10y any means conclusive
of her wilIful intent to murder. If the
homicide was accidental the society is
liable for the insurance. The sustaining
of the Foresters demurrer was held to be
error, and the case will now go to trial.

hands and calculated, Just the thing
why didn't that occur to me before:"
The story runs that a conference was held
between the postmaster general and Quay,
at which the formers private secretary
was present and the postmaster general
declined. Further that subsequent
meeting at the postmaster generals house
1t was suggested to him 10y Quay that if
he would run he Quay would insure his
election as governor and put him on the
ticket as vlCe-preSldent with Il western
man, giving him first the vote of Penn

maSter-general, who saw in it Il possible
blow at Harrison, which he was willing
to make. provided always he was sure of
being elected governor and of Quay'S good
faith IN carrying out the programme. 1t
Is further SAID that MIR. Quay was quite
indignant over the postmaster generals
hesitation and leTt him abruptly saying
that he would talk no more about it.

THE CLEvELAND-DANA QUARREL
A False interviw with Cleveland Drives
Dana Into Frenzied Rage.

The New York World lately reported an
interview with MIR. Cleveland in which
words were put into his mouth which he
never uttered. lie was represented is
speaking of Dana, OF the New York Sun,
as a ''senile old Liar Upon this Dana
attacks Cleveland in all the savage ma
hgnlty which he can express, and his
powers of expression are great.
There is something almost insane in
Dana's hate of Cleveland. The Sun in.
1889 supported Cleveland for governor.
During his term he felt obliged to refuse
some personal request which Dana made.
Since that time Dana's soul has been
gangrened with hatred. He has tried in
every way to annoy and studied the meth
ods by which his attacks could be most
insulting. He tried his best to defeat
Cleveland in 1884. To the same end he
labored in 1888. The opposition cost the
Sun fearfully. Its income declined; and
Just in proportion as Cleveland stock went
up the dividends of the Sun sank down.
Now that Cleveland is steadily growing III
popular esteem. and is honored as no other
living statesman on this continent is, it is
gall and wormwood to Dana. There is no
torture of hell keener than that with
which Il malignant, envious spirit sees the
object of its hate and envy hon
ored and esteemed among men. In that
hell of evil, enyious passion Dana has
lived for many years, and suffered in sodl
and i'll purse the tortures of the damned
The remarks that Mr.. Cleveland made and
which were shamefulIy distorted by the re-
porter. were the following:
Il have not seen the article you refer to, and if
it appears nowhere else but in the sun. there l.
not TIE least chance of my seeing it. &C course

There was in this, nothing nndignihed.
But the reporter enlarged upon 1t and
put words into Cievcland's month that
showed annoyance. resentment and bitter
ness. Mr.. Clevelands $ well known level
headed patience under all kinds of
calumny renders it certain that any of
Dana's calumnies, harmless just in the
ratio of their maligpity would neither
move him. nor disturb his equanimity.
