dented. The demand for it was enor-
NOUS.
An unusually large edition was
printed at tine usual time. This was
sold out to the last copy.
About six o'clock supplementary
orders began coming in from all
quarters. One dealer came to the
Office at that hour for fifty additional
copies. A large wholesale dealer on
the Hill telephoned for a hundred
copies to be sent up to him by the
Newark avenue horse cars. Smaller
orders came in by the dozen.
AT six o'clock it was necessary to
reopen the press room, start the en-
CINE anew, 0 the press and start
it running. A batch of five hundred
papers were then printed, every copy
Of which, save the usual number re-
served for files and Office use,-some
fifty in all,-was disposed of before
seven o'clock. The NEWS is a big
success. The people love it for the
enemies it has made.

How to wash chamois.

Chamois leather garments are difficult
to wash. especially if the article is of
elaborate make or pattern. Ordinary
window and plate feathers must OF course
undergo the usual cleansing process, and
are easy to manage, as they do not suffer
from getting out OF shape. The great
point with them is to prevent their hard
ening as they dry, and u little friction
during the driving will do away with that
altogether. For other things. such as
vests. gloves, etc, very careful treatment

Roumania,s Pretty Queen.

Her majesty of Roumania, who under
the name of Carmen SYLVIA is well
known both as poetess and authoress, is
at the age of forty-seven, still a beautif I'll
woman. She is tall, with an extremely
good figure, and, but for the silyery lines
which have dimmed the brightness OF her
golden hair, still retains most of the
beauties of her youth. Her eyes are quite
bewitching, being large and blue, with a
delicious, dreamy look. She has a really
classical mouth, exquisitely white. regu-
lar teeth, a finely cut nose and small, we'll
shaped hands and feet. She was very
quietly dressed in a gray tweed walking
gown.
When at home, I hear, her majesty
greatly affects the picturesque costume
of the Rounlanian peasant. She is quite
an indefatigable worker and rises every
morning before it is day, She is firm in
her refusal to allow her maid to attend
her, but lights her own lamp. and sits
down at her table to spend an hour or
two over her MSS. 1t would take too
long to enumerate all her books, many Of
which are well known, hi she has also
written the libretti of several successful
operas. Correspondence Philadelphia

domestic utensils into painted and be-
ribboned mural adornments. Dust pans
and coal shovels are noble In their way,
and shine with the beauty of fitness In
the kitchen, where their manifest destiny

WOODSTOCK, Ont, September 22.-The
trial OF Birchall for the murder of Benwell
last February began in the town hall this
morning. Birehall seemed perfectly at ease
aud pleaded mot guilty." Mr.. 0sler, Q. c.,
in opening for the Crown, read a letter from
Birchall to Col. Benwell. at Chellenham,
England, father Of the murdered man, in
which he said that Benwell was satisfied
with the business and had entered in part
nership with him [Birchalll;s uggestin that
the best way to send money out was by
bankers draft on the bank of Montreal,
New York; stating that they would hold
large sale early in March, and that they had
opened business account in their Joint
names at the American bank, Niagara Falls.
Mr.. Osler dwelt on the fact that there was
no firm, no sale and no business IN Wood
stock. The first witness called was William
Mcdonald. who told how Birchall came out
In 1888 under the name Of Somerset, accom-
panied by his wife.
This is the case, 1t will be remembered, In
which BenweI, a young Engllshman with
money to invest, is supposed to have been
lured TO Canada on the pretence of profta-
BILE business venture and then murdered for
his money. When the facts of the murder
were published last winter, attention was
called to number Of strange disappear
ances. and 1t was thought possible that other
murders similar to that with which Birchall
is charged had been committed.l

Cummings Of SprlngvaIe.
He Had Been Arrested Charged With
the Crime of Arson.
A Woman Rejected Him and Her

ISnecial TO the PreSS.1

SPRINGvALE, September 22.-The arrest
Of Sylvester Cummings, on Saturday, on a
charge of arson, followed today by finding
his dead body lying on thel floor of the
sitting room Of his house with bottle label
led laudanum by his side has created great
sensation In this town and vicinity. Cum
mings was one of the most prominent neil
in this region, and was very wealthy. His
fortune was accumulated largely in the shoe
manufacturing business. Years ago he car
ried on the business in Chicago and was
burned out in the great fire. Subsequently
he came east aud finally settled down in
Springvale, where he had very fine firm.
His wife left him many years ago on ac-
count, it is said. of cruel treatment. For the
last six years there has been living
with Cummings, young woman

of the house. The young lady was of
pleasing manners and has always borne an
excellent reputation. Cummings fell in love
with her sand.was very anxious that she

promised to leave the whole of his large es-
tate to her at his death. His entreates and
offers were in vain. The girl absolutely re-
fused fused to marry him: There lived IN 81 Snap
young farmer by the name Of Charles
Pray. Mr.. Pray was introduced to the
young lady some time ago and began paying
her marked attention. Cummings at first
made no objection, en- the contrary he seemed
to look with favor on Pray's attentions to
the girl. Subsequently, however, he changed
his mind, ana meeting Pray about the first of
Septemb ber he sought to obtain a promise
from him to relinquish his suit, and falling
in that made dire threats against him. About
tember, Pray was awakened at midnight to
find his barn on fire. The building and its
contents, including considerable live stock,
were burned, and his house was only saved
by the efforts of his neighbors. Suspicion
of setting the fire fell upon Cummings, and
the case was put into the hands of Detec-
tive Robert Davis of Portland. Mr.. Davis
obtained sufficient evidence to procure an in
dictment against Cummings by the grand
jury of York county for arson, and on Sat-
urday Cummings was arrested at his home in
this town and taken to Alfred; where he
gave bail In $4,000 for trial. He had no diff

ley and Mr.. j. b. Moulton of this town be-
coming his sureties. Cummings took his ar
rest coolly, and after his return to this town
he appeared to be in his usual spirits. The
finding of his dead body this morning under
circumstances that seemed to point conclu-
sively to suicide has greatly startled the
community where he had always borne
regarded as a confession that he was guilty
of the crime alleged against him.
Doubtless an inquest will be held by Mr..

when additional facts in the case may be
elucidated.

HERE'S A STATE OF THINGS.
Wyoming's Constitution lnvaI!dates
the Election of 1892.

CHICAGO, September pa special from
Laramie, Wyo.. says the faulty construction
of the Wyoming constitution probably in
validates the late election go far as county
offices are concerned, and prevents any gen.
eral election being held in 1892. Under the
constitution the first regular election that
would otherwise occur following the first
session of the legislature will be omitted.
Evidently the trainers of this instrument ex-
pected that Wyoming would be admitted at
an earlier date than it was. 1t is not now
within the range of possibility under that
constitution for the legislature to convene,
much less to complete its labors and adjourn
before the time for the regular election that
would otherwise have occurred in 1890.
Hence, under this constitution, the state is
reduced to the necessity of emitting the reg
ular election of 1892. The most serious re-
suit OF this position is the fact that at that
time there would be elected representative
in Congress, and the state would vote for
the first time for President.
