An EifeI Tower for Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 1s.-M. Eiffel, who
erected the great Eiffel tower which
formed such an important and success
full feature of the recent international
exposition in Paris, has made a PROPOSE
ton to the worlds fair directors in Chi
cago to erect a similar structure here in
connection with the approaching Column
bus quadri-centennial festival and pro-
vide the entire capital needed for its
construction, should the directors ap-
prove of his proposition. 1t will be the
joint creation of M. Eiffel and Thomas
A. Edison and will surpass in altitude
the original structure by at least 500
feet. Mr.. Edison, 1t Is said, contem-
plates placing 100, 00O, 600 m~ulticolored
electric incandescent lights upon the
structure and make it n of the most
marvellous and beautiful spectacles ever
yet Witnessed in the world.

An Election Inuuiry.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, April l9.-The
house election committee appointed by
the government to inquire into
the Clayton-Breckenridge contest
will enter upon their duties g Mon
day morning, several Of the members
having arrived here today and the COM
mittee will be completed by tomorrow's
expected arrivals. Mr., Mcclure, who
will conduct the inquiry on behalf of
the government, has supplied Congress
man Lacey, chairman of the sub-com-
mittee OF the house election committee,
a list of witnesses to be summoned,
numbering about 100 In all, including
the twelve men who were tried in the
federal court here last fall for stealing
the Howard township ballot box in Con-
way county. 1t is the generally enter
tanned conviction that the investigation
into the Clayton assassination will bring
out disclosures OF a most sensational
character.

Prophet Erickson Dies Hard.

STOCKTON, Cal, April 19.-Erickson,
the crazy prophet, dies hard. He in
sisted Monday hat the time for the
tidal wave must be extended to mid,
night, but now he declares the destruc-
ton will come soon, and warns his fol-
lowers not to abandon the hilltops until
he gets fresh revelations. Erickson
fears the consequences to himself as a
false prophet, and says such a prophet
ought to be killed, but excuses himself
by saying: God made a mistake in the
date, and cites the old testament story
of the destruction Of Ninevah. Many
of his followers are returning, but it is
probable that a majority will remain in
the hills a few days longer, as they fear
the ridicule OF friends.

Why She Suicided.

CHICAGO, April 19.-The finding of
the body of Matte Bacon far up the
lake shore has set at rest today all
doubt as to the mysterious suicide of the
pretty conservatory girl. Miss Bacon
was a highly bred girl, refined and sensi-
tive. She studied with Professor Kay
ser at the Chicago conservatory of music.
One Of the lady intimates of Miss Bacon
says that one day while reciting the
lines in "Much Ado About Nothing"
Professor Kayser spoke sharply to his
beautiful young pupil and severely
criticised her mode Of expression, and
told her she did not throw enough soul
into her study of the parts. This from
her teacher seemed TO completely un-
nerve Miss Bacon and she took it
greatly to heart, and the result was that
constant thinking over the matter mag
nifed it and she grew melancholy and
discouraged, and determined to end her
life.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
Chicago Board of Education Consit
the Bennett Law.

Chicago Board OF Education Considers
the Bennett Law.
CHICAGO, April ia special meeting
of the members Of the board OF educa-
ton was convened here today to cons
slider the question of the compulsory
education law which under the name Of
tn, Bennett" law has awakened con-
siderable public sentiment in the neigh
boring state of Wisconsin. The statu-
tory laws of Illinois do not widely diff
fer from the law to which objection Is
raised in Wisconsin. 1t is recognized,
however, that but for the Institution Of
parochial schools not one half of the
children of Chicago would find any
chance of educational training in any
form and the board of education Of this
city accordingly finds itself in a very
serious dilemma. A compulsory law is
upon the statutes but 1t has never been
attempted to enforce it, simply because
there is no accommodation for the
children who would be compulsorily
held to attend school. Notwithstand-
ing the number of parochisl schools in
the city, at least 40, 900 children are de-
prived, according to the Investigations
recently instituted, of receiving any
educational training whatever, The
parochial schools have an aggregate at
tendance, it is computed, of at least
20, 200 pupils, aud if the public schools
had to take care of these, as we'll as the
40, 900 children for whom no provision,
whatever is made in addition 10 pupils
already enrolled, at the very least forty
new school buildings would need to be
erected and appropriations made, not
alone for the construction of the
necessary buildings, but for all other
requisite purposes in launching and
managing them.

A WRECK IN COLORADO.
Three Coaches Ditched and Several Pas
sengcrs Injured.


sengers Injured.
DENVER, Col, April ia serious
wreck occurred to a local passenger
train on the Colorado Central branch OF
Union Pacific about two miles north Of
Loveland this morning. Two day
coaches and a baggage ear we're thrown
from the track into the ditch and sew
eral persons were badly cut and bruised
about the head and face, but none are
thought to be fatally injured. When
the cars vent over the baggage car
caught fire from the stove. Robert
Harris, jr., of Denver, ayoung travelling
man for the firm Of Cornforth & Co., Sc
cured a milk can from the car, with
which he carried water n extinguished
the flames. Those injured are as fol-
lows:
Harry Rowland, of Denver, mail clerk,
has a deep cash back of one ear, burned
back of the neck, right hand and wrist,
elbow and knee badly sprained.
e. e. Conger, express messenger, badly
cut on the back of the head and between
the eyes.
Mr.. McNeal, OF Berthoud, had his ankle
badly sprained and Mrs. McNeal is hurt
internally. An infant son of Mr.. McNeal
was thrown over five seats and then
landed in a hat rack, and when found was
unhurt.
NJ L. Miles was badly cut over one eye.
n. T. Hickey had several severe cuts on
the back of his head, and his spine is badly
sprained.

A glance at the millinery ADVERTISE
ments reveals the fact that the feathered
tribe is this year to contribute freely to-
the adOrnment OF feminine headgear.
Women are very fond of birds; they go
into ecstacies over the dear little treas.
uros, and can find no words strong
enough for the boy who robs a sparrow's
nest or throws a atone at q robin. But
fashion is III imperious mistress. When
she fixes her cruel eyes upon the pretty
warblers they must yield their heads
and wings, and their lives with them.
Woman is not inconsistent, however, In
her subserviency to fashion. The fair
devotee is just as willing to torture her
self as she is to take life. With the
spills Of two OF three dead birds on her
hat, with the long steel fingers Of her
corset clutching at her heart, and her
shoes ta~ntalizing her feet, she trips
down the street and sweetly smiles.
She Is in fashion.

SLAIN BY AN lRATE HUSBAND.
A North McGregor Man XII His WIFE
Lover,

-
a North McGregor Man II His wife's
Lover.
DUBUQUE, Ia, April 1s.-Tbe climax
of a long tragedy of love and intrigue
was reached last night at North Nc
Gregor, Ia, when Jay ]. Grinnell shot
and fatally wounded George Cornell.
Grinnell has been the official court re-
porter for over ten years. Cornell is a
son Of Roadmaster Cornell, OF the Chi
cago, 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 warning, but for
the past month both men have carried
arms. Last night Cornell went to North
McGregor, but Was warned by his
friends not to enter the hotel. He did
so, however, and hearing a step behind
him raised his head and saw the refec-
ton Of Grinnell in the mirror. Turn
ing, he received a bullet in the brain
and fell to the floor 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 till nearly noon. She
says the shooting was a terrible surprise
to her, though she knew the men were
enemies and both carried arms. When
asked regarding the cause of the diff
Guilty she said: 1T involves myself,
and | can say nothing" She is a beau.

Thursday. A manur heap lying against

CLEVELAND TALKS.
Ne Expresses His Opinion Of Dams and His
Nav Xarlr Enu.

New York Sun.
New YORK, April ls.-In an inter
view with a World reporter last night
ex-President Cleveland said Of the Suns
story that he was under medical treat
ment for corpuleIicy: 1.-THE whole story
Is q lie."
Mr.. Cleveland, the reporter says,
looks less feshy now than when he was
in the white house and has a healthy
color in his face. Mr.. Cleveland also
said:
81 do not care how much j am criti-
cised for my public acts. That is per.
fectly legitimate. There is a line, how.
ever, II seems to me, where abuse
should stop. The mar who tnvades the
privacy Of a family and INDUCES in
coarse attacks on private citizens places
himself on the level OF the black
guard.
Regarding the frequent personal
attacks upon himself in the Sun, Mr..
Cleveland said that he did not see them,
but every time one appears a dozen
cranks, more or less would write TO him
about IL.
whenever j receive these cranky
letters" continued Mr.. Cleveland, III
know that senile old liar and thief, Dana,
has been at 1t again. There is only one
thing that / care about in these attacks.
II seems hat Dana does not confne his
warfare to men. Women are not free
from his dastardly assaults. 1t is bal
enough for him TO print his lying state
ments about myself, but 1t is infinitely
more cowardly and dastardly for him to
include my wife in his attack. III Dana
was not in his dotage his rawlings would
attract more attention"

The Work of the Conference,

BERLIN, April 19.-It is understood
that the decisions of the Labor confer
ence which will shortly be published
comprise a recommendation for the
optional establishment OF courts of arbi-
tration consisting Of employers and en-
ployed to decide disputes, the formation
of workiugmen's committees being con-
sidered Of practical utility for hat pur-
pose. Concerning the execution of the
stipulations agreed upon tho congress
did not favor the establishment of an
international labor bureau, but re-
garded it as preferable that an interna-
tional labor conference should meet
periodically for an exchange of views
regarding the experiences made in the
international labor law, which will
conduce, it is believed, to the internal
peace of the states attending the con-
ference and even benefit the world.
Concerning Sunday work the conference
unanimously resolved that it is not de-
sirable. Firstly, that permanently en-
gagged workmen should be granted a
day OF rest one a week. Secondly. that
all industrial operatives should have a
day of rest one a week. Thirdly, that
the day of rest for workmen under age
should be Sunday, subject to the eXcep-
tons and delay in execution which each
country may consider necessary.

LONDON, April 1s.-Madame Zebri-
kovs, who is reported as having sent a
threatening letter to the Gar, has been
conveyed from the Russian capital under
the escort Of gendarmes and banished
to a place unknown. Madame Zebri-
kova is the daughter of the late Admiral
Zebrikova. All her a~ntecedents as also
her natural temperament are the reverse
of revolutionary. 1t was only at the
age Of rs that she acquired sufficient in
dependence to be able to devote herself
to literary pursuits, Since then apart
from her work on educational questions
and on the position Of woman, she has
written several charming stories for
children and translated in Russian a
number Of English and French works.

Cut Three Men.

CHICAGO, April ia drunken man

The man, whose name IL said to be Billy
Patterson, boarded the car ar Sixteenth

side the door when be pulled the knife
from his coat pocket and began flourish
ing 1t. The women passengers began
to scream and tried to escape from the

door wao blocked and nobody was able
to get out. One OF the blows struck
Archer Patnew, of 800 Blue Island
avenue, on tho left side OF the neck,

Paul Clifford, the original inventor of
the Paris pneumatic post system, has
made a pneumatic rife which is said to
be q wonder. 1t is described in this
way: The weapon is much lighter than
any OF the army rifles now in use. 1t
resembles the magazine gun in that a
steel cartridge about a p and a halt
long and as thick a mans thumb is at
tached to the barrel by means OF a
screw. The cartridge contains BOD
shots, which can be discharged as rap
IDLY or slowly as a mar desires. At a
recent trial the ball travelled with
wonderful accuracy and penetrated deep
into the wall of the shooting room. AS
Don as one cartridge is emptied of its
400 shots another can be screwed on the
gun in the %twinkling Of an eye. Mr..
Clifford says that the 800 shots in a car
fridge can be produced at a cost of about
. pence. The gun itself can be manu-
featured for about SIS. -

The Pittsburp Strike.

P~ITTsBURG, Pa, April 1a.-There is
no important change in tho threatened
strike situation. Two meetings were
held by the switchmen today, but what
action was taken is not known. The
demand for an increase of wages made
by the Panhandle yardmen is quite
moderate compared with the original
list grievances. Their demand will
doubtless be conceded, but without
recognition Of the organization. The
conductors demand "a cents an hour for
day and 25 cents for nights. The brake
men demand Is cents per hour for day
and 10 cents for night work.
