 Being Arrested as Nihilists.
 LONDON. April 25.-The land purchase debate was resumed in the House of Commons last night. MT. Gladsto ne spoke in opposition to the Government g bill, being, as he said, convinced that the measure was not only complicated, but that it did not undertake to solve the difficulty.
 He had been encouraged to hope for 8 solution of the question by the declara- tion of Lord Salisbury that the Govern ment's plan would not impose a burden upon the taxpayers of Great Britain, but he had been disappointed to find Mr. Balfour informing the House that the measure pledged the country to the extent of H33, ,OOO,O without mention ing the possibility of further amounts being added.
 While complimenting the principle of Mir. ParnelTs plan, it was not clear in its details. He sympathized with the object of his scheme but it required ex- planation. MT. Balfour's bill was re- plete with dubious points, hiding the character of the measure. Some of his proposals were so objectionable as to justify their rejection.
 It was obvious, he argued, that Ire land was opposed to the measure, sec ing that fve-sixths of the Irish mem bers were strong in opposition to it.
 As the Government was going to make Ireland debtor, 1t was important that they should consider what was the attitude of the persons they were about to subject to debt. If they declined to recognize the obligation. it was new wrong inflicted.
 The bill he said, threatened condi tions which would shock humanity, create disorder and make worse the re- lationL between two countries.
 MT. Goschen followed in @ defense of the bill

ACCORDING to the Lancet, Dr. Luder- itz has recently made a number of ob- servations on the destructive power of coffee upon various microbes. He found that the organism all died in longer or shorter period. In one series of expert- ments anthrax baciln were destroyed in three hours, anthrax spores in four weeks, cholera baciln in four hours, and the estreptococcus of erysipelas in one day. Good and bad coffee produce precisely similar effects.
 DR. STARR, of London, adduces con- vincing arguments to show that 1t is im- possible to draw from the size or shape of the head any conclusions as to the mental capacity. He shows the absurd ity of judging of the brain surface by either the size of the head or the extent of the superficial irregular surface which is covered by the skull, without taking into consideration the number of folds or the depth of the creases, and states that little brain with many deep folds may really, when spread out, have . larger surface than @ large brain with few shallow folds. The phrenologists are not happy over Dr. Starr's strict- ures.
 AN electrician says that just what takes place in the human organism to produce death from an electric current seems to be an unsolved problem. One of the theories sometimes advanced con- corning 1t Is that when being suffers death from electric shook, 1t is a pure case of internal rupture or explosion from the generation of gas or vapor. In support of this view the way in which telegraph poles are sometimes torn to pieces is referred to. The lightning follows the moist portion of the pole. which Is the core or heart; In this case the moisture is vaporized and n explo- sion occurs. The high resistance pro duces heat the heat in turn steam. and the steam n exploeion.

BIG STRIKE COMING
Chicago's Industries May be
 Paralyzed Next Week.
FULLY 100000 MEN WILL GO OUT
A Monster Demonstration Has Been Ar.
 ranged for May l.

Labor Leaders See No Means to Avert tn.
 Disaster - Recognition of Unions and
 Eight Hours . Day the Dsmand-The
 Trouble at NsshuA Settled Philadsl-
 Phia Carpenters Restless.
 CHICAGO, April 25.-It is now estima- ted that over 100, 900 idle mon will be on strike here next Thursday. Indeed. some place the figure at twice that num- Der.
 How long they may be out no one can tell, but it now looks as though tho strike will be the most extensive this city has ever known. Nearly every or ganized union in the building trades will ntrike unless their demands for tion of their unions is acoeded to.
 About $500. 900 per week is being lost in consequence of the strike of 1000 carpenters. The men are we'll organ ized, with the exception of some 12,OOO at the stock yards.
 The monster demonstration which has been arranged for May 1, as an ex- pression of sentiment only, may turn into the beginning of Q strike which the ablest of the leaders will be power less to direct, much less control The original plan of the May Day parade was that all except the carpenters should return to work on May 3. To- day no one can predict what any trade will do. The chances are that most of them will declare themselves on strike. This would mean utter stoppage of half or even greater proportion of the business of tho oity, and at present the localaleaders see no means to avert such disaster.

On April the 9th we opened to the pub Western Connecticut. There are ten of us in this concern and it takes considerable business to keep us going and in order to facilitate matters we thought we would take you into our confidence upon a mat ter that will help us materially, and in the end will save money for you, and it is money you are after the same as ourselves. First Tie Your Wives Loose. When they go out to buy furniture throw them on their own resources and let them use their own judgment And Trust Them. They will not keep us back 80 much then in our work waiting until their lords and masters decide; when the truth is the aver age woman knows more about furniture than you do, and will go much further to save dollar than you will yourself. The aver age woman is your equal intellectually, morally she's your superior, and financially she leaves you completely in the shade. Now then why not trust her to buy some goods; she has to take care of them in the "house." If she buys an eyesore once she won't buy another one; and it will be worth more than all you can say to her. Gentlemen Trust Your Wives. They will then feel the responsibility and their judg ment will grow better all the time. We speak from practical experience.

TROUBLE WITH THE UMPIRE.
Boston Defeats New York by to 0 and
 Mickey welch is Indignant.

Boston DsfsAts New York by g to and
 Mickey Weloh is Indignant. BOSTON, April 25.-Ths first appear ance of the reorganized New York League team in this city was marked by Q most unfortunate occurrence that resulted in Umpire McDermott award . too.
 The trouble arose in the first half of the seventh inning, with the Bostons at the bat and the score standing to against them. Two men were out. Long was on third base and Donovan was at first: The New York infelders were playing well in. Donovan started to steal second. Murphy threw the ball to Bassett, tempting Long to run in. Tho latter accepted the challenge, made g splendid slide at the plate, and was declared safe.
 The decision was very close, Bassett having made quick and accurate return to Murphy, and it at once raised row. Welch and Glasscock argned them back to their positions. Glass cock obeyed, but Welch refused Nc Dermott ordered Welch to play ball and on his still refusing he was fined $1O.
 This made Welch more stubborn and Glasscock approached MoDermott. The latter ordered Jack back and as he still approached McDermott fined him $1O Welch threw the ball on the ground and walked toward the players bench. Glasscock called to one of the extra pitchers to go into the box, but in the meantime McDermott had hauled out his watch, stating he would give the New Yorks one minute to resume play. At tho expiration of that time, the New Yorks not resuming play, McDermott announced that he gave the game to Boston by score of toO 0.
