SIX sHERIFFs DIE VIOLENTLY.
A County Office In Ohio That Is Marked
by Strange Fatality.

The fact that ex-Sheriff JOS c. Worden of
Crawford county, Ohio, who was killed few
days ago by being run over by an engine on
the Erie railroad, was the sixth sheriff of that
county to meet sudden and violent death
makes interesting the details of the unpar-
alleled fatality which has followed every sheriff
OF that county for the past three decades.
The first sheriff to meet tragic fate was W.
c. Beal, who was elected to the Office in 1853,
and after serving out his time was killed by
being run over by locomotive near Bucyrus
in 1863.
His successor was Jonathan Franz, who was
chosen to fill the place at the general election
in 1857, and twelve years thereafter, in 1869,
suddenly dropped dead on the street at Buoy
rus.
The next man to fill the Office was John
kIssnger. who was elected in 1861 and was
also killed by being run over by a train near
Bryan. in Williams county, in 1871.
ID. L. Keplinger took charge of the Office in
1867 and, after having served his time out. was
thrown from his sulky to the ground by run
away horse and sustained injuries which re-
suited in his death at his home in Bucyrus in
the year 1869.
keplinger's successor. James Worden, who
was elected in 1867 and held the Office for two
years, sustained injuries from falling wall
from which he never fully recovered and died,
as result of the accident, at Gallon in 1875.

Special Cable Dispatch to the New York Times
The death of the duke OF Manchester
although it occurred i'll Naples yesterday after
noon, only became known here late today, and
the news came through such roundabout cham
nes that the papers for time discredited it,

rather limited old gentleman, whose domestic

makes another American duchess in the person
OF the lady who deserved kinder fate. Most
interesting of all, it makes a widow OF that
very remarkable woman. the duchess of Man
chester
No English peerage for years has mentioned
her age, and it filled with amazement all who
saw her that her son, Vaudeville, was indubita-
bly, born i'll 1853, but the Almanac de Gotha
says she was born in January, 1892 which
would make her eighteen months older than
the marquis OF Harrington She certainly looks
eighteen years younger than this nobleman,
with whose name hers has been so long asso-
ciated in everybody's mind. Their close friend

the most familiar OF modern English romances
For years no one has dreamed OF inviting
one of them to country house or a town house
without the other, and it is perfectly under

HE WAS UNWITTINGLY RICH.
A Chinese Maiden's Present to Her Ce.
leStial Lover.

few days ago one of the great men in the
Mott street Chinese colony paid visit to a
brother celestial in Lexington, Mass, and while
there he espied a diamond sparkling on the
neck OF Hop Ling. one of the assistants in the
local laundry, and after looking closely at it
pronounced it worth $500 and purchased it
Tor that sum. Hop Ling ten years ago was in
love with girl name Ku Ku, the only daughter
OF Tip All Lee. This occurred in Pekin. The
maiden's father frowned upon their love. Not
long afterward Hops parents migrated to
America; before they departed from the Celes-
tiai city the lady had one last fond farwell in
tervlew with her lover at the close of which
tonishcd when told the value of the bright
stone and promptly accepted the offer that was
made for it. and in SO doing he was not so faith
less as might seem, for the maiden ku Ku is
now wife in her native land and Hop was
morally free from his obligation.

CHILD SUICIDES.
Three Girls Who Quencbed Their Lives
for Naught.

Little Mamie Maxwell was one of the pref
test and brightest girls in the school about a
mile from Flemingburg, Ky Among the chill
dren that romped at recess Friday Mamie was
one of the happiest. She returned to her desk
with her cheeks glowing from exercise. The
children were merry over some happening of
their play and the teacher twice commanded
order as a litter was heard in the room. At the
third manifestation of suppressed merriment
two of the culprits were called up by the
teacher. One OF them was Mamie Maxwell
and the teacher administered a severe rebuke
Mamie, who had always been model scholar,
felt the disgrace keenly and returned to her
seat IN tears. She was depressed during the
rest OF the session and when the school was
hually dismissed with her face burning with
shame and downcast eyes she hurried home.
Her father, Lewis Maxwell. was absent at the
time and the mothers effort to learn what was
the matter with the child was met with eyasiye
answers. Mamie then retired to her little room
up stairs. Upon the fathers return in the even
Ing she was called, and, receiving no answer
Mrs. Maxwell assembled to the room. The
child was lying on the bed, evidently asleep.
The mother endeavored to arouse her. but dis
covering that the little one corpse. An
investigation showed that Mamie had secured
paper of strychmne that had been kept in
the house for some purpose and had taken a
dose. The mother Is almost crazed with grief.
Carrie Schuster. girl not quite thirteen
years of age, ended her young life Saturday at
Buffalo by taking a dose OF rat poison. The
child went to drug store early in the morn

her brothers home, where she lived Louis
Schuster, the BROTHER when he came home to
dinner at noon, found his sister apparently
suffering great pain. The girl fingered in
great pain until night when she died. Carries
mother, widow, remarked not long ago.
Subsequently Carrie went to live with her
brother. Mr.. Schuster says that his sister
always seemed contented and happy.

Our Rapid Development and Land
Policy Among the Causes.

The American Ag,icuhrist thus sums up
what 1t deems the causes of the present de-
pressed condition of our agricultural interests:
First. Oyerproduction caused by
Second The governments free land policy
and
Third. Its immigration system.
The tariff, no doubt, has an important bear
ing on the issue, but still more potent lnflu-
ence is domestic taxation. and the combinations
of buyers and transporters that largely govern
the movement and prices of produce An I'M
biased scrutiny of the last decade reveals the
extent to which these influences have combined
to cunningly divert attention from themselves
by directing the public mind toward the tariff.
The farmers IT last seem to grasp the situation.
While, Ike the workers in other industries,
farmers hold widely divergent opinions as to
the duty on imports, they are now unifying
their efforts upon reforms relative to land,
finance Including taXatlon) and transporter
tiOn-the three great problems which in the
multitudinous details affect SO vitality the pro-
ducers and therefore the welfare OF the entire
United States.
TIME TO CALL HALT.
Instead of opening new lands to settlement,
which would add abnormaliy to the overpro-
duction. the time has come to call a halt The
proposed scheme for retaining the arid region
MAY DC wise prONl5O Tor the distant future,
but no abnormal stimuant should be applied
to the actual development of really new lands
until the census OF 1900 shows that agriculture
has fully adjusted itself to the new conditions
imposed upon it by the mushroom progress of
the past quarter of a century. Let the popu-
lation catch up with production. Let the COM
paratively small area of public land still unset
tied be held in reserve. Let the now unworked
but cultivated areas in the various states be re-
settled For the next decade this will afford an
abundance of cheap lands to our own increase
and such immigration as it is wise to foster.
JUST DIVISION OF PUBLIC BURDENS.
Let the farmer, meanwhile, see to it that he
bears only his just proportion of the public
burdens Let him secure the home and foreign
market for his own productions in such man
ner that the supply and the quality shall govern
prices, rather than the dictates of any combina-
ton. Such policy, wisely administered, should
make agriculture not only the most honorable,
but, in modest way. the most surely remuner-
alive of all occupations. To effect this change
demands not only better farming-better crops
at less cost, better sales at greater profts-but
the earnest fulhllment by the farmer of those
political duties that are demanded of the citi-
zen by every instinct of patriotism. The sound
integrity, sturdy common sense and the clear
and sober judgment Of an intelligent yeomanry
were never more needed in public affairs.

Expelled Because He Was Unjust,

special to the New York Herald from New
Orleans says a negro has received justice from
an organization composed exclusively of south
ern men of the most pronounced type.
The Continental guards righted wrong
which they considered had been done to their
negro armorer. Gilbert Jones. at the hands of
Lieut.. Cotton, one Of the most popular and
wealthy members of the command About
week ago gold watch and some money were
stolen from Lieut.. Cottom's vest which he had
left in the dressing room while drilling. The
lieutenant. without investigation. had Jones
and another negro arrested and kept in Jail on
suspicion of being the thieves. Two days
later the real thief was arrested. the property
recovered and the two negroes released.
Lieut.. Cottom's fellow officers suggested to
him that he should publish a card in some of
the city papers exonerating Jones from blame
in the matter but this he positively refused to
do after repeated requests, hence his expul-
sion from the guards.
