WASTE IN THE HOUSE.
A Drain That Plays Sad Havoc With IL
Family Bank Account.

A Drain That Plays Sad Havoc With the
Family Bank Account.
Servants are forever spending not their
own but that which is the property of
others, whether we take that property as
soap and soda, candles and comestibles, or
what not. Human beings are not given to
look upon other peoples property in the
same night as they look upon their own. A
professional man trave ling at his own ex-
penss travels cheaply, but at the expense OF
another generally the reverse of econom-
ically. SO with domestic servants; thew
spend, but do not buy; everything is ready
to their hands and nothing to pay for. and
ms OF Itself is not only apt to beget a GER
tain indifference for the property of others
but Is also demoralizing in that it blunts
the perceptions regarding waste. The
waste In large households is always con-
siderable, often terrible; the land of plenty
Is not the land of economy, but the atmos-
phere OF the former is that surrounding
servants There is consequently growing
tendency to disregard waste as a sin: the
waste does not react upon themselves, and
Is consequently imperceptible; 1t is con-

THE DENVER TRAGEDY.
A Possible clew to the Murderer of Mrs.
Butterfeld

Butterfeld.
DENVER, May 5.-There is a clew to the
murderer of Mrs. Kate NJ. Rutterted, who
was found murdered yesterday. On Thurs
day last gentlemanly looking stranger
called at the house of Mrs. Baker, who lives
near Mrs. Butterfield and has furnished
rooms to let He selected room and asked
for some towels. When Mrs. Baker took
them up he was standing entirely nude in
the room and she fled downstairs. The
stranger soon departed, but returned Sat
urday, when she refused to admit him. He
then left in the direction of Mrs. Butter
fields. The police and detectives have a
perfect description of the man who is thus
suspected of the terrible crime. The case
has excited great sensation in this city.
She was modest, retiring lady, having a
daughter living in this city. Her first hus-
band, named Brant was killed in the battle
of Gettysburg. She was divorced from the
second, who is now jeweler in Omaha.
The man suspected OF having assaulted
and murdered Mrs. Butterfield, walked into
the police station to-day and submitted to
an examination. He explained his having
been caught disrobed at Mrs. Bakers as
purely accidental, and apologiZed for the
supposed insult offered. He clearly demon
strated his entire innocence. In the mean
time the police arrested man named
Charles Munson, painter by trade, who
has his face badly scratched and gives
other evidences of recent conflict. He
can give no good account of himself and is
held on suspicion.
The San Jose Herald says: Mrs Butter
field was an old resident of San Jose, and
about sixteen years ago, with her husband
and family, resided on the northwest corner
OF Santa Clara and Fourteenth streets,
keeping what was then known as the Bridge
House.
A few years later her husband died and
the lady was left with a large family of
small children to support but with the as
slstance of kind neighbors aud some char
liable persons she managed to clothe and
educate the children Later on she moved
uptown to 81. Levy's block, on Santa Clara
street, near Fourth, where a small store
was opened, and from that time to her de-
parture for San Francisco, about six years
ago, the lady engaged In business for her
self.
About two months ago one of her daugh-
ters, young lady about Is years of age,
died in San Francisco, and the other daugh-
ter, few years older. is still a resident of
that city, as are also two sons, Joseph and
willie, both young men now, the former
having been known as the sailor and also q
house-painter by trade The other boy
worked for Fixes & Abels, driving . wood
wagon.
The eldest daughter was in San Jose
about two weeks ago and stated that her
mother had gone East.
The deceased had many acquaintances
in this city who will be shocked to learn of

CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
Rapid Increase of the Quantity Shipped to
the New York Market

hapla Increase OF the quantity Shipped to
the New York Market
New YORK, May 5.-The Commercial
Bulletin says: In a short time new Cali
fornia fruit will begin to arrive in this mar
ket. AS far as oranges are concerned, it is
not believed here that many win come to
New York. The trouble is the competition
TO which they are subjected in the New
York market will not allow high enough
prices to make it an object to send the fruit
here, owing to the heavy freight charges
The late citrus fair in this city opened the
eyes of many to the good qualities of Cali
fornia oranges, the fruit having virtually
been stranger to most people in New
ork. Nevertheless. the high freight rates
from California act as an effectual barrier
against the fruit coming to this market with
any degree of freedom. With California
green fruit, however very rapid progress
Is being made in the amount that each
season is sent to the New York market.
More commission men will receive fruit
during the coming season than ever before.
One year ago the first California cherries
were arriving in this city at this time, but
this year none yet is known to have left
California; and in fact they are expected to
be at least two weeks late, which is also
the case with apricots and peaches.

stantly going on at their masters tables and
at their own. and their eyes become
blinded to it, not because they cannot
realize that to waste Is to sin, but
because they become Injured to it by
custom. Another indication of the effect
that surroundings have upon servants is
supplied by the fact of their being gener-
ally improvident. They have but a meager
Idea OF the value of the things they use or
consume, because they never have to pay
1or them, but when the time comes that
they have to provide for themselves, la
mentable exhibition of their want of expe-
Irience Is too often the result. We know
bow often 1t happens that servants who
have contrived to save little lose their all
on setting up for themselves. Want of
business ability may account for part of
the want OF success which terminated In
their ruin, but their previous training and
the easy conditions of their lives as servants
rendered them unable to count the cost be-
fore setting out-The National Review.

LITTLE Rock. May 5.-The Congressional
Committee examined about 200 witnesses

townships in Woodruff County. The evil
dence showed a change of fifty votes from
Clayton to Breckenridge.

denied any acquaintance with Jared

having virtually confessed to the murder of
Clayton, was not put on the stand this

fessed, however, that her denial of know
ing Safer was not true.

FRANKING LETTERS.
Stylish Privilege That Led to Appali-

A Stylish Privilege That Led to Appall-
ing Abuses.
The system of "franking" letters in En-
gland in the high-postage days led to an ap-
palling abuse of that privilege, which be-
longed to peers and members of the House
of Commons. 1t was no doubt originally
allowed to enable members to correspond
with their constituents, but under the cir
cumstances it is perhaps not surprising that
the plan soon became abused, and was ulti-
mately used to cover all kinds of CORE
spondence, not only members. but other
peoples rs we'll. AT one time, indeed, all
sorts of curious packages passed free under
the franking privilege, such as dogs, q COW,
parcels of lace, bales of stockings, boxes Of
medicine, flitches Of bacon, etc. Some.
