that their disasters might never cease.

THE LATEST PARTISAN TOY.
Gouffe's Comm i'm Miniature-Gabrielle
Worse Than Stranger Eyraud,

"oFeo IMAM Str0nEktf EyfauOs
PARIS, Dec. 23.-[SpeeiaL There is a
revulsion of feeling here in favor OF Ey-
raud, the stranger Of Goutfe 1t is gem
orally felt that his companion, Gabrielle
Bompard, was the greater criminal of the
two, and the fact that she was let off with
term of imprisonment, while Eyraud
was doomed to the guillotine, has aroused
feeling Of protest against the apparent
injustice Of the verdict.
This sentiment is strengthened by the
news that only five out of the twelve jury
men were at first inclined to give the
woman the benefit of extenuating circum-
stances, though the others finally con-
sented to take that view of the case. The
theory Of hypnotism has been disproved
TO the satisfaction of the public, and the
belief that Eyraud was the tool of mod
ern Lady Macbeth in the person of the
wicked Gabrielle finds more and more wide
acceptance.
1t is probable that a new trial will be
granted, and in that case it is doubtful if
the verdict of the late trial will be repeated.
The latest Partisan novelty is a small
model of the trunk which figured in the
Gouffe murder case and was used as the re-
ceptacle of the victims mutilated body. 1t
Is puzzle to open the trunk, and when the
experimenter has overcome the difficulty
the lid dies open, and he is rewarded by
the sight of leaden image of the unfortu-
nate police notary.
Eyraud is dying by inches and viii in all
probability never live to be guillotined I'M
less the execution should be ordered at
once. He is suffering from an aggravated
case of Brights disease, and viii in all
likelihood soon be removed to the prison

behalf of his family, who are in practically
destitute circumstances, and means of
relief are being extended.

""OuAous Escape OF W0rkmen-Re-
suit of Building in the Rain.
OLYMPIA, Dec. 23-FSpecial. Shortly
after So'clock this morning, while twenty
five persons were at work on the new
Lincoln school building on the east side,
it was discovered that the north tower was
giving way. The tower and the north
west gables fell in, carrying with it por-
ton of the truss roof and the three floors
of the north wing to tho basement. The
tower was ninety feet high, and about
twenty-five feet of it fell, breaking the
brick work squarely at the dormerwindows.
On the east side of the tower is one gable.
which, with the exception of small
crack at the back of the tower, remains
perfectly solid. On the west side were
two dormer windows, which fell outward
as the tower fell. The rest of the building
is perfectly secure. The damage is about
$20o0.
c. L. Cornwall of Seattle, the builder,
stated that only the best material had
been used. and that the constant rains of
the past few days had satuated the mortar.
The escape of the workmen was
miraculous, none of them being hurt.

DENVER, Dec GA Ne,ps special from
Creston, s. D., via Rapid City, says: The
situation is practically unchanged. Sew
eral troops of cavalry are out chasing
small bands of Indians, but no casualties
are reported. 1t is reported that great
deal of ill-feeling and trouble is being
caused by cowboys lying near the
reservation line and shooting ut any
Indian who may appear. There is
no doubt that the Indians are the prin-
ciple aggressors, yet since the arrival OF
the soldiers the cowboys and ranchers
have become very bold, and arc molesting
the Indians instead of connning them
selves to the protection OF their homes.
The deputy military commander has gwen
orders to disarrn any of these settlers who
may be caught invading the reservation

paper, the Labor Hortd, today renews the
attack on Parnell. Labor World says Par
nell is greater danger TO ireland
than any outsider. No foreign
force has ever so endangered
Jreland's liberty and honor as this new
pretender, an unmitigated trickster and
INSCRIPTIONS enemy of liberty and demo-
crazy, who attacks Irciand's honor in its
most vital part, and who has betrayed
trust of honor committed to his care. The
Labor World, continuing, says Parnell,
should not be permitted to hold the power
which he abused and which would render
Ireland's condition under her dictator
worse than that of South American re-
public.

As they sing, one may catch in the refrain
the expression of that never-dying love
10 their beautiful country, which every
Swede bears with him TO his DEATH The
effect is enhanced by the national costumes
WON by the singers. The voices are clear
and pure. They are cultivated as well, and
sing not only the sweet old national bal
lads, but difficult passages from grand
operas"
