Mr.. Justice Miller ia Dv;no

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1l.-Justice Miller is
worse this morning and his condition very
critical. He is wholly unconscious, ana NAV

two. The left side is completely paralyzed
and hope is abandoned DR.. Lincoln saws
he is dying and that he may pass away at
any moment. From l o'clock this (Sat,r-
day. morning it was evident there wa
little on which to base any hope for recoy-
cry. The nerves and muscles of the throat
were much affected and all
attempts to give the patient nourishment
failed, still there were slight evidences of
semi-consciousness, the justice now and
then opened his eyes and looking at the
attendants with a CLEAN of recognition
At daybreak these signs ceased, however.
and he became totally oblivlous of the sur
roundings. Justice Miller is a man of
massive frame, full blooded and stout He
had, during the last seven years, often
spoken to his family of fears of stroke of
paralysis. 1t is said his brothers. one or
two of whom died from paralysis. strily-

knowledge gained in his early life by read

he might some day go as they had gone.

health The dictation was made to his pri-
vate secretary ana yesterday afternoon
when the justice was carried into his Office
the letter was lying on the table awaiting
his signature. 1t probably will never be

memento, an additional testimony of the

Tho Influence of the Crank.

The genuine crank is q boon to any COM
munity. New England, being the native
home of American intellect is the nursery
where the species is reared most success
fully. Let the thoughtless scoffers of So
ciety laugh. the crank can afford neither
to notice nor to mind He, at least. is in
earnest, and has something besides vain
words to bring forth when he talks. He
may be like one of those disagreeable ruts
in the road that shake you up so painfully.
or like the nettle that stings your hesitat-
ing fingers, but he never resembles the in
distinct grain of dust blown hither and
thither along the way, or the trembling
blade of grass that grows up only to be cut
down by the scythe.
He may stick pins in your inflated van
ity, he may look at your diminishing pro-
portions through the small end of a pocket
telescope; he may prod you and punch YOU
without regard for your weaknesses or
well yelled deformities, but he is your ben
efactor for all that. He makes you asham-
ed first, and then brings you out. forces
you to grow. You uproot and cast aside
the weeds that sap the nourishment from
the soil of your wit. which, if it be a.
healthy plant, is to that extent benefited
by the existence of the crank.-Kate Fields

CRIME And DISASTER
The Wives Of English Bankers Ar
rested in New York.
-FOUR LIVES LOST BY FIRE
In a Chicago Hotel-Fatal Raid on a saloon
"A Tough Pushes Coroner Under an
Engine-Some Grave Charges.

New YORK, Oct. 11.-Cornelia V. Miller,
and Priscilla Field, wives of the London
bankers, Styles, Field & Co., who failed
last month with liabilities amounting to
$500, 900, were arrested in their hotel here
to-day. They are said to have come to this
country with funds which should have been
applied to the liquidation Of the debts Of the
insolvent firm
The firm name was James H. Field &
Co. They are said to have done large
business, paying 25 per cent. on all moneys
left with them. The door of the insti tuition
closed the latter part of August, and soon
thereafter the wives of two members of the
trm sailed for this country arriving here
September 80. They had drafts on the
banking house of Brown Bros 81 Co. for
$4,000, which they cashed, another draft
of $50, 900 and Others for smaller amounts
followed. The S95, 900 draft, Brown Bros.
& Co. refused to honor, they having re-
ceived cablegram from London advising
them the drafts that Mrs. Miller was pre-
senting were wrong To-day Inspector
Byrnes, on the strength of cablegram re-
ceiyed by the British counsel arrested the
woman. The cable read as follows:
Those people are supposed to be Ameri-
cans, from Chicago. Warrants for their
arrest have been granted. Apply to the
authorities for their arrest. The necessary
documents will be sent as soon as posi-
ble.n
A writ of habeas corpus has been OBJ
tanned by the womens counsel, returnable
Monday. When the writ is disposed of
the women will be Immediately arrested
by the United States authorities upon war
rants charging them with bringing stolen
money into this country.

Changes in Small Arms.

In 17I9 was published in America the
volume OF Baron Steuben's tactics, which
contains the manual of arms for our revo-
lutionary army. The musket was then a
flintlock muzzle loader, with single ball or
ball and buckshot, effective at about 100
yards, with recoil as dangerous to the SOL
dier as to the object aimed at. For firing
aud loading the commands were, the mus
ket being loaded and at shoulder. 'sPoiss
firelock. Cock firelock Take aim. Fire. I"
Half cock irelock. Handle cartridge:
prime, shut pan; charge with cartridge;
draw hammer; ram down cartridge; return
hammer; shoulder firelock"
Up to 1910 we had the same old flint lock.
smooth bore musket, with paper cart
ridges, and loaded by twelve commands:
Load; open pan; handle cartridge; tear
cartridge; prime; shut pan; cast about;
charge cartridge; draw ramrod ram cart
ridge; return ramrod; shoulder arms"
About 1S45 the percussion cap, previously
used by sportsmen, was adapted to the
smooth bore muzzle loader, and it was
loaded in ten times" or motions. grad
ually reduced to four motions. and finally
to one, LOAD at will"
Now, in $780, every recruit knows that
he can load his rifle and fire it from five to
twenty times minute, thereby exhausting
his supply of sixty rounds in few min
utes, whereas as late as our civil war forty
rounds in the cartridge box and twenty in
the haversack were full allowance for a
days fighting. Gen. Sherman in North
American Review
