Lee White In Mischief Again.

A special to the Denver Republican
dated May 7th, says: THE notorious Leo
White, accompanied by one of his old gang,
rode into Lamy, New Mexico, this morn
ing at o'clock, aroused the storekeeper,
William Sayles, and at the point of gun
demanded food for themselves and horses.
This given them, they helped themselves
TO quantity of ammunition and two pis-
tolls and demanded money, but were told
they would have TO fight for il. They,
knowing Mr.. Saylcs to be q man of nerve,
did not insist, but mounted their horses and
rode away.
In short time they came back and held
up Night Operator Tyler and Baggageman
Richards for their valuables. White, being
recognized by Richards, ut his request re
turned him his watch.
A train pulled in while they were at work
and they hcld-up the conductor (GetchelD
and the brakeman for their valuables On
leaving the depot they went to the round
house and held up three more men. On
tho way 70 the latter place they kept up an
lnccssant fire TO inunidate any pursuers.
They secured six valuable watches and
Some $50 in money.

Another Fatal Fire.

Utica, N. Y, May S.-The larger
portion of the Chenango county buildings,
located at Preston, near Norwich, burned
at midnight last night and ten inmates,
possibly more were burned.
The buildings destroyed were the
asylum, in which were about eighty in
mates, and the pauper house and idiot
ward, in which were forty inmates. Both
were three-story wooden buildings in good
repair, having wings Of two stories in
height. They were valued at FL, 900 and
insured for $l9,0 coo, and are a total loss.
A bucket brigade was formed and about
one hundred labored to save the smaller
buildings in the rear with success.
The porter was awakened kby pauper,
and attempted to release the idiots but was
driven back by the fire. He then ran
through the other buildings in his night
clothes rescuing inmates.
The idiots were locked in and roasted
like beasts. Keeper Wainwright said:
"On opening the door leading from the
hall TO the idiot department, l was thun-
dcrstruck to see the interior a mass OF
flames. attempted to rescue the inmates
who were all securely shut in their cell as
usual, but was driven back by the heat
and smoke. saw the idiots were doomed
and nothing could save them. l then
aroused the paupers. In some instances
the poor people were dazed, and it was
necessary to carry them bodily from the
house and turn them loose in the yard and
fields. There were twelve inmates in the
idiot asylum and they Bmust have been
overcome by the heat for heard nothing
from them and they roasted like pigs"

tective tariff most of the trusts that
Cypress the country could not exist.
The exclusion of foreign products re
moves the competition which would
render domestic trusts impossible. AS
soon as foreign competition comes in,
the domestic trust or monopoly must
die, for monopoly is the breath of a
trusts nostrils. Protection decreases
competition. That is its purpose and
its result, while a trust absolutely
kills competition. Trusts will contin-
ue to fatten upon the people so long
as protective tariff gives monopoly
to domestic producers.

For several months past the news
papers Of the state have been filled
with stories concerning a great for
tune which some old German has
left behind him and which is to be di.
vided between heirs In this country.
The story makes good reading. but
it remains to DO seen how much OF
that money will reach this country.
Time and again, have people been
fooled into paying lawyers to secure
fortunes in the cid country and yet
nobody SO far has ever known any
body but the lawyers to be enriched.
1t is always well to take such Fabulous
tales with large grain of salt and

1t is better 10 apply the manure
thick than to attempt to make it 60 as
far as possible by spreading it on in
thin layers. In the one case it must
nourish more plants than it possesses
nutrition for, and in the othor case
the plants will have sufficiency and
produce more than il the supply is
deficient. Plants waste portion of
the manure in the growth of stalks
and leaves that are unstable, and if
they can be made to yield more at less
expense of growth the manure will
give better results and profit will be
greater.

LOVED A LECTURER.
Capt. Campbell Borrowed Money
and Also q Belle i'm Athens,
Pennsylvania.

Syracuse, n. Y. Jan. 49, Capt.
Henry E. Campbell, public lecturer
and journalist, Of Pennsylvania. was
arrested here last night by Chief OF
Police Bennett. of Athens, Pa. on a
charge of obtaining money under false
pre:enses. What makes the case re.
markable, and even romantic, is the
tact that the gay Captain is accompa
MED by pretty blonde, the daughter
of a wealthy harness dealer in Athens,
named Carpenter. Her parents sup
posed her to be in the West visiting
relatives, whereas she has been travel
ing with this Lo,harie of the lecture
platform. The reasans for the arrest
are given by Chief Bennett as follosw:
Early last Spring Capt. Campbell,
who is handsome and accomplished
man, made his appearance at Athens,
bearing with him letters of Introduce
ion to Col. c. T. Hull. of that place.
cashier of the First National Bank.
The Captain recognized an old COM
rade in the colonel and preached to
him subject that lay very near bis
heart. He felt that he bad a calling
to put before the young people of
American scenes of the conflict between
the war.vessels Monitor and Merri-
mac, accompanied BY a highly enter
tanning lecture. He was anxious to
do this, but needed money. Would
the colonel assist him ? As the
Captain is's very slick talker the
colonel concluded to do so.
The colonel not only assisted the
captain in financial way, but intro
duced him into Athens best society.
By simply giving his note he was al
lowed 500 by the colonel with which
to 60 to New York and purchase par
aphernalia for carrying odt his project.
He returned with the necessary appa-
ratus and started on his travels. At
the time of his departure he was owing
George II. Curtiss, proprietor of the
Athens hotel, bill OF 500 for board.
The captain induced Mr.. Curtiss to
accept his note for the sum, Endorsed
by the colonel. To secure this in.
dorsement Capt. Campbell told Col.
Hull that ne was expecting consid-
cradle amount Of money on or about
Dec. 6. The captain then started on
his tour, and nothing was heard of
him until he was arrested here. After
awhile the colonel, the hotel keeper

pledge of protection" being that
"home competition shall effectively
guard the people against monopoly
and insure ultimate cheapness." Now
all this is precisely not the truth and
the Trusts are simply carrying the
idea of protection to its logical con-
clusion. The philosophy of our tariff
system is that the home manufacturer
should be helped by the government
to obtain from the consumers
an artifcially high price for his
product. Therefore, foreign products
are SO greatly burdened that the con-
sumner will prefer the domestic article.
It is the intention OF the law that the
