An Expert in Matrimony.

PHILADELPHIA, July 9.-True bills of
indictment were found today against
George Silcox and Georgiana Parker. On
June 10 the couple were arrested on war
rants sworn out by Theodore f. H. Mil
Ter. cousin OF Mrs. Silcox. Detectives
located them at a hotel, and afterward
followed them to Upsal station, on the
outskirts of Germantown, where they
found them living in elegant style in a
handsome brownstone mansion. They
took their arrest very coolly and gave
bail for a further hearing. Subsequently
the detective arrested Silcox at the Broad
street station as he was about to take a
bail, but the detectives had doubts about
the couple remaining in the city and de
termined to rearrest Miss Parker. When
they went to the Upsal station residence
they found hat she had just become u
mother. The arrest was postponed, and
finally counsel for both defendants
waived the hearing, furnishing Sc
curiry in Miss Parker's case of
5000, and 81 200 for Silcox. Twenty
years ago SilcOx was a printer in SYRIA
cuse, n. Y, where he married a Miss
Clara Croft. In 1874 he went to Europe
and his wife obtained a divorce on the
ground of neglect. While Silcox was in
Europe he married the heiress to a large
estate, who died a year afterward. Then
he came back to this country and married
another heiress at Key West, Fla, and
removed from there to Brooklyn, n. Y,
where his wife built a fine house and they
lived in style. They also had a cottage at
Lake George, and while his wife was there
last summer Silcox stripped the Brooklyn
house of its furniture and put it in a
house which he had rented at Yonkers.
N. Y. Silcox then took a trip to Europe,
accompanied by Miss Georgiana Parker, a
handsome Brooklyn young woman. Mrs.
Silcox secured a divorce on the usual
grounds, and hearing that the couple had
returned from Europe secured warrants
for their arrest and will prosecute the
case to the end.

You want to keep your skin nice all
summer? Well. then, here are some
rules for you:
Don't battle in had water; soften it
with a few drops Of ammonia or a little
borax.
Don't battle your face while it is very
warm, and never use very cold water
for it.
Don't wash your face when you are
travelling, unless it is with a little alco-
hol and water or a little vaseline.
Don't attempt to remove dust with
cold water; give your face a hot bath
using plenty of good soap, then give it a
thorough rinsing with water that has
had the chill taken off it.
Don'trub your face with a coarse towel;
just remember it is not made of cast
iron, and treat it as you would the finest
porcelain-gently and delicately.
Don't use a sponge or linen rag for
your face; choose instead a flannel one.
Don't believe you can get rid of wrin-
kles by filling in the c~revices with pow
der. Instead, give your face a Russian
bath every night-that is, battle it with
water 30 not that you wonder how you
can stand it, and then a minute after
with cold water that will make it glow
with warmth; dry it with a soft towel
and go TO bed, and you ought to sleep
like a baby, while your skin is growing
6rmer and becoming free from wrinkles

CHASED BY STRIKERS.
Striking Street Laborers at
West Superior, Wis,
Drive the Contractors Away
From Their Work.
Two Men Shot, but Not Seri-
ously Injured,

WEST SUPERIOR. Wis. July 9.-It
was expected that the strike among the
street laborers would have been settled
today by the men accepting the old wages
of 81. rs day. but the dependency of
the men was but the lull before the
storm. About two hundred strikers APP
peared in the main streets this morning
and proceeded to Twelfth street, where
about forty men were employed. The
strikers rushed upon them and a fight
ensued. Contractor Sutton cut one man
on the arm with a shovel. The strikers
chased Sutton to his home, three blocks
away. beating him with clubs. Later in
the day a mob arrived at the Ameri-
can Steel Barge works, where
they were kept at a distance
with reyolvers After dinner an
other attempt was made to force the
works. Contractor Anderson shot one
man In the head, the bullet glancing and
hitting a man named John Fostor in the
left arm. The strikers then charged, but
Anderson held his ground with a drawn
revolver. The mob threw bricks and
clubs and everything they could lay
hands upon. When the mayor aud a force
of special police arrived on the ground
the strikers we're wild for Anderson's life.
The mayor quoted the crowd by APP
pointing a committee of strikers and a
crowd of policemen to see Anderson to
the city hall. Tonight fifty citizens were
sword in as special policemen.

A PitIfuI Wall.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Representa-
tive Belden, chairman of the Republican
congressional committee, has issued a
notice to the Republican electors OF the
country ON the subject of the national
election law. The Republican party, he
says, pledged the country in Its platform
that it would see to the execution of hat
provision in the constitution which
guarantees TO every lawful voter in the
federal election the right to deposit his
ballot and have it counted for the candi-
date of his choice. No question of
negro supremacy, no usurpation OF
federal power is involved. The
bill which recently passed the house deals
only with national elections. The
states are properly left to work out their
own des,inies through their own agen-
cies. Why. then. should the bill not be-
come a law. The house, active IN the
fulfllment of party pledges and un-
daunted by the diabolical threats and as
saults Of the Democratic party, promptly
performed its duty by the passage of the
bill Now it only remains for the Re
publican majority 10 the senat to emu
late the house aud permit the president,
by his signature, to ratify and register the
will of the nation. Will the senate
promptly perform this imperative obliga-
tion2
Tho committee is in possession of in
formation showing the concentrated eff
fort on the part of the Democratic party
to change the trend of public thought by
poisoning the minds of people, to the
end that sentiment may be manufactured
that would deter congress from passing
the national election law at this session.
1t is believed that a favorable expression
of opinion at this juncture from the Re.
publican press all along the line would be
as forcible as timely and would excite a
wholesome influence and inspire ~legisia-
tors to the carrying out of the party's
pledges. Will you not do your duty in
urging that the senate shall respond
promptly by the passage OF the measure
which the house deems absolutely essen
tial to the purity of the election of its
own members"

Wind and Ram at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, July 9.-The wind storm
which swept over this city last evening
was the most severe ever experienced.
The advance of the storm seemed TO be
a number Of sharp, quick gusts that
wrecked chimneys. blew down trees and
sent everything movable through the air.
Its coming was shown by a cloud OF dirt
100 feet high. which obscured the sun
and made the streets as dark as midnight
Not a single object could be discerned at
a distance Of fifty feet. Fine dust filed
the eyes and sifted into the clothing, aud
breathing to those on the streets was i'm
possible without a handkerchief pressed
to the n%ostrils. Then came rain in rush
ing. swirling sheets that beat down many
plants and caused exceedingly heavy loss
to crops. In every part of the city large
trees we're uprooted. The damage on the
ore docks along the old river will amount
at least to $50, 00O. Telegraph and tele-
phone companies lost a number of wires,
while the service of the fire and police
departments was nearly wrecked. Half a
dozen yachts inside the breakwater were
blown adriit- Several houses in course
of erection were SO badly twisted that 1t
will be necessary to rebuild them.
