QUICK WORK.
A Murder, Capture. Confession and Lynehing
all Between Two Suns.

all Between Two Suns.
LEXINGTON, Mo-, Aug. 29.-An
atroeious murder, the arrest Of
the murderer, his confession OF
the crime and subsequent
lynching were the elements of
double tragedy that occurred here to-
day. Sheriff Mitchell received q tele-
gram this morning stating EFF. Parker,
q merchant of May view, ten miles
south had been murdered. The
sheriff, Two deputies and the
coroner, and q correspondent
of the Republic left at once for May
view. Arriving they went to the scene
of the crime and were confronted with
CHASTITY sight. Lying behind the counter
with his head almost severed from his
body lay Parker. An examination rs-
venled that the instrument used was
most likely corn knife or a cleaver.
The murdered man slept in a room back
of the store, and had evidently been
awakened during the night or
Early in the morning by man
who pretended he wished to buy
goods. Several articles of clothing were
lying on the counter, and in all proba-
Iuc UiOnb pcSu WQlle
the merchant was STOPPING down In the
act of pulling from beneath the counter
O larger assortment. The crime
was probably committed for robbery
for the cash drawer was found rified of
some money and an examination of the
dead man IS clothes showed the pockets
turned inside out. A watch and $40 IN
money were found in his coat which
would suggest that the murderer was
frightened away before securing the
valuables. Mr.. Parker's mother lives
in Sharon, Pa, and has been informed
of the crime.
Lnter-Dr. Mcdonald has arrived here
and states that negro named
William Walters was arrested @ few miles
north OF Mayview by Constable Thos.
Chinn for the murder of Parker, con-
fessed his crime and was hanged TO g
tree by q mob.

VIOLATES THE QUAY RESOLUTION.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The resolu-
ton of Senator Edmunds to take a recess
from September 70 TO November 10
clearly shows the desperate straits in
which the Republican party finds itself
Failing in passing the election law at
this session, they want TO gain all the
time possible for the consideration of the
election bill and so desire to have an OPP
portunity to make time of their political
opponents. But the Democrats will not
be caught by any such move. In fact,
they will talk such 4 resolution to death.
The Democrats say that the Edmunds
proposition is q violation of the
agreement under which the tariff bill is
now being hurried through, which was
that the Federal election bill should not
be considered at this session. Quay is
emphatically opposed 10 any recess, and
there are many others who say that the
senate ought to pass the bills they agreed
to i'll the Quay resolution and get out.
The Republican members on the house
side do not favor the Edmunds resolu-
ton.

Patterned After Quay.


Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The concur
rent resolution introduced by Seuat or
Edmunds this morning for recess from
September 10 to November 10, was put
in, it is understood, entirely of his own
motion and not as result of any party
conference. The senator has apparently
concluded to try the tactics of
Quay with his resolution against the
force bill that is to throw it IN aud see
what comes of it. It will be a test
simply of the strength OF sentiment in
the senate favorable to the renewal of
the force bill agitation when congress
has been given q chance TO rest little.
If it is buried in the committee he will
throw il in a second time and probably
keep up his game until some action is
taken on it. There is not the smallest
hope of its passage. A small
group of Republican senators are
devoted enough to the idea of passing
the force bill to vote for anything which
points that way, but there is nothing to
prevent the Democrats from talking the
resolution to death. There are thirty
seven men on that side, each good for
one whole days speaking. This would
consume a month or more, and carry
the session over election time. Even il
the senate should bv any trick manage
to pass the Edmunds resolution, il would
hardly go down with the house, where
the members on both sides are very rest
less over the prolongation of the work
and are looking forward TO getting home
as soon as possible for long rest. II
was this short recess plan taking shape
in the mind of Senator Edmunds that
doubtless gave rise 10 the repor. about
the prospect of an extra session.
Opposed to the Edmunds Resolution.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ga senator
who was asked how the Edmunds reso-
luton was received by the Republicans,
said he did not believe they were in favor
of it. The general sentiment expressed
at the con ference last week was, he said,
that il any time was needed beyond the
limits of the short session, the president
should issue his proclamation converting
congress In extra session.
Senator Pierce said he was satisfied the
president would not call an extra session
of congress. Edmunds' resolution, the
senator thought, could have for Its uItI-
mate object only one thing, the passage
of the election bill. The Democrats
would see that aud they could and would
talk the resolution TO death TO prevent
action on the bill.
The president is empowered under GER
tain conditions of things to do jus. what
Senator Edmunds' resolution proposes.
In case the two houses should fail to
agree upon q date for adjournment, Sec
ton 8 of article 2 relating to the powers
and duties of the president says he may
on an extraordinary occasion convene
both houses or either Of them, and In

WOMAN'S PAINTED FACE.
It Was Seen in Einevel, and It Costs Q
 Pile in America TO.uay.

It Was Seen in Ninevch, and I. Costs . Pile in America To-day.
 The art of beautifying the complexion by artificial means is very old. The women of gray antiquity knew how to give their checks the rosy hue which nature had denied them. In Nineveh | the practice of enameling was quite common. The skin was made smooth and clean with pumice stone and then covered with g layer of white chemical preparations. A toilet case found in the ruins of Thebes contained whole ar senal of little bottles full of perfumeries and complexion medicines. The women of Athens painted themselves with white lead and vermilion, The poet of Ovid described various paints which were used by the Roman matrons, and complained that the women tried to initiate with cosmetics the rosy com plexion which health alone could give, He also spoke of the de- ceitful pallor lent to their cheeks by white lead, and of curious methods they had of beautifying their eyes. Again he mentions that pale face was Q necessity for every woman who aspired to be ''good form" Pliny speaks of a concoction of flour of peas and barley, eggs, hartshorn, etc., which fashionable women in Rome wore on their faces all night and part of the day for the purpose of clearing their skins
 The custom of painting the face was brought to Gaul and Germany by the Romans. A few centuries later one hundred different salves for the com- plexion was sold in the German market. In modern times France has been the great manufacturer and consumer of cosmetics. In England, too, the use of them has been general. In 1779 the En- glish Parliament found 1t expedient to consider a bill to tho effect that "all women, without distinction as to age or rank, maidens as we'll as widows, who should deceive the male subjects of his Majesty and mislead them into mar riage by means of paint, salve, beauty water, false teeth. false hair, Spanish wool, corsets or padded hips, should be punished under the provisions of the law against sorcery, and the marriage should be declared null.'
 A German statistician, who has ac- curate data concerning the use of cos metics throughout the civilized world, estimates that the money which Ameri- can women pay for cosmetics would pay for the painting of 37,O0O houses at an expense of $75 per house.

MERIDEN,s HEALTH OFFICERS.

Censured By the State Omcials in
 tho smallpox Matter.
 Speaking of the appearance in the state, of smallpox, Secretary Lindsley of the state board of health says:
 Smallpox which started, as it very commonly does, from a rag department of a paper mill, appeared in January in Windsor Locks. It appeared soon after in some of the adjoining towns one case in Waterbury. These cases were immediately put under proper regula- tions and controlled but in Meriden the disease has been allowed great liberty.
 The first suspicious case was reported to the health authorities. Six doctors examined it, but as four asserted it was chicken pox, and only two thought it was varioloid, the majority of course ruled and no protective measures were taken. The laws of nature, however, are not subject to majorities, like the health authorities of Meriden.
 Meriden was also unfortunate in being a double-headed town, having two boards of health-a town board and a city board. So that when little after, other cases of "chicken pox" ripened into the genuine smallpox. there was still no decisive and energetic action to control it and protect the public. On the contrary, with astonishing delibera- tion that two boards of health officials called joint meeting for the next day.
 This meeting, which the secretary of the state board of health was invited to attend, was not called to decide upon the best methods of guarding the public. Those questions did not seem to be inter esting. The chief discussion was wheth- CT the town or the city was liable for what expense might be incurred.
 Upon this pitiful dispute, with small pox in several places in the city, these two august bodies, the representatives of sanitary adn inistration in the town and In the city of Meriden, wasted time wrangling without result, when every passing hour was precious to prevent the spreading of the contagion.
 Is it remarkable that with such guar dians of the public health there were 8 dozen cases of snall-pt'x in Meriden be- fore the end of the month
