We are told that London is to have a
tower two hundred feet higher than
Eiffel. This is the last worlds craze,
and in time New York will probably put
up tower two hundred feet higher than
London's. The great profits of the Eiffel
tower is a matter of notoriety, and
English capital seeking investments
everywhere has decided that a tower in
London with its five million people and
its hundreds of thousands visitors will
pay fully as well, if not great deal
more, than the one at Paris.

A Man who Loved Married Woman
Shot by Her Husband.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, April 15.-The eli
max of long story of love and intrigue
was reached Wednesday night at North
McGregor, Iowa. when Jay ]. Grinnell
shot and fatally wounded George Cor
nell. Grinnell has been official court
reporter for over ten years. Cornell is
the son of Roadmaster Cornell OF the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Road.
Six weeks ago Grinnell sent word TO
Cornell that he would shoot him on
sight if he did not stop his attentions TO
his wife. Cornell laughed at the warn
ing, but for the past month both men
have carried arms. Last night Cornell
went to North McGregor, but was
warned by friends not to enter the ho-
tel. He did so, however, and hearing a
step behind him raised his head and
saw the reflection of Grinnell in mir
ror. Turning he received a bullet in
the brain and fell unconscious. Grin
nell made no attempt to escape.
Mrs. Grinnell was In Chicago when the
shooting happened. She arrived here
this morning and was not aware of the
tragedy until nearly noon. She says
the shooting was terrible surprise to
her, though she knew the men were
enemies and both carried arms. When
asked regarding the cause of the shoots
ing, she said;
'It involves myself and / can say
nothing"
She is beautiful woman.

The Grand Jury Finds True BIl
ApatDat the Ravisher

The Grand Jury Finds True RIii
Against the Ravisher.
MOUNT Holly, N. j., April 1S.--
Among The indictments found by the
grand jury which reported to court
yesterday morning was one against
William Sloan, residing near Pember-
ton, on O charge of felonious assault on
Bertha Paines, bright girl, aged 10
years. The story of this horrible crime
almost passes belief. Sloan is so
years of age and married. He lived
with bis wife in hut near the girls
home. One night last December he
enticed her away by promises of gifts,
and when short distance from the
house picked her up and carried her
twelve miles into the pines. Here he
found deserted house, and taking the
girl In, carried out his purpose.
Meanwhile the girls father, Charles
X. Haines, was searching for the miss.
Ing girl. He and O companion
found the footprints of Sloan and fol
lowed the entire distance to the deserted
house. On peering into the window the
two men saw sight that filled them with
horror. Knowing how desperate man
Sloan was, and seeing that he was
armed with an axe, they were afraid to
enter or make any noise. The nearest
place help could be found was three
miles away, and while the companion
FASTENED for a constable the father
stood watch at the window. Sloan
did not know any one was near
and continued his practices in
sight OF the parent, who was
nearly distracted When help arrived
tn fatheer was found wringing his
hands and crying. The three men burst
open the door, and after a fierce strug-
gle arrested Sloan. He fought hard
and came near killing the constable with
the axe. He pleaded not guilty at
court this morning, and will be tried
on Monday.

WILL SAVE NO MORE FRIENDS.
A Chicago Philanthropist Dives Too
Deep Into Charity.

Deep Into Charity.
From the Chicd0o Herald.
A gentleman who is prominent in the
Y. NJ. @. A. learned not long ago that
warm friend of his early days was near
ing the curbstone through strong drink
and he was told that the poor fellows
only rescue was through confinement
in the Washingtonian Home, The phil
anthropist resolved to rescue him on
sight and he met him down town one
Saturday afternoon.
Taking him into his buggy he talked
pleasantly with him and said he would
give him ride. They stopped at the
Washingtonian Home and the philan-
thropist asked his unfortunate friend to
accompany him upstairs to call on an
old chum. He went. The two were
ushered into parlor The superln
tendent entered. Up jumped the un.
fortunate, whispered few hurried
words in his ear and started to leave.
His kind friend started after him. ooh,
no." said the superintendent, "you will
stay with us"
The philanihropist was dumb
founded. In vain did he protest that
he was the wrong man. He was re-
moved 10 a room and dosed with beef
tea and bromide. They kept him until
Monday before they allowed him to
send note to his family. He was
rescued at once. The poor unfortu-
nate" had sold his horse and buggy and
left for parts unknown. Now the Y,
N. c. A. man does not go around saving
fallen friends.

DUMAS GRANDCHILDREN.
There Are Only Two Like Victor
HuRnSA.


HugO's.
Paris Letter 10 ne So. Louis Past Dispatch.
Like Victor Hugo, Alexander Dumas
The elder is represented in the present
generation by two grandchildren only.
These are the two daughters of his
illuNrious son, Nine. Lippman and
Mile. Jeannine. The first, named is
very gay, tlirtatious dame, and bothers
her father a good deal by her needless
friskiness of nature. There is not
particle of harm about her or her esca-
pades, but as she is the daughter of the
most famous dramatist of France her
most innocent frolics are sure to be
noted and commented upon.
Mile. Jeannine, on the contrary, is
quiet, reserved and studious. She is very
plain, the negro type of complexion and
features being far more pronounced in
her countenanee than they are in that of
Dumas himself. This is often the case
with physical peculiarities. which will
overleap one generation to come out in
a marked form in another. Since the
crisp, curly hair Of Dumas turned gray
he has entirely lost every vestige of his
atliliation with the colored race The
elder Dumas, though he was only a
quadroon, was as dark as a mulatto and
showed his negro blood most unmis-
| takably.
