Renting out a play" said a well
known comedian, lis just now largely in
vogue with native authors who have
made a reputation and those spectators
who purchase the American rights of
foreign successes. In point Of financial
returns it is about the same as selling a
drama on royalty, but the great advan-
tage in renting out is that the author re-
tains the ownership of his production.
and a always control it, whereas in a
sale on royalty the property right passes
entirely out Of his hands.
Should the royalty not be paid of
course the author has his legal remedy,
buff his play be simply rented out all he
has to do is to go and take possession of it
in case Of a failure to settle the rent,
thus saving time, trouble, cost and anx-
iety. to say nothing of avoiding the laws
lay."-Philadelphia Inquirer.

LONDON, July 29.-The promoters of
American schemes in London have re-
ceived the severest setback this week in
the failure to float the securities Of the
New Chicago Stock Yards company.
Euglishmen decline to take hold Of it un-
less they can have control. 1t is neces-
sary in floating any scheme here now to
guarantee 10 per cent profit and control
before Britishers will listen. Strong pres
sure has been brought to bear by Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew. the Vanderbilts. the As
tors, ex-Minister PHELPS and Clarence
Seward. 1t was thought a scheme 80
we'll recommended as the Chicago stock
yards would counteract the depression
and give q new boom TO American invest
msnts, but the British public did not
show their money.

A serious charge.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-In the house,
Representative Oates OF Alabama offered
for reference to the committee on rules, a
resolution reciting an editorial published
in the National Econon,ist OF July &c.
the organ Of the Farmer Alliance. de-
claring that the bondholden were now
happy and their bends would be paid in
gold only stating that it would be inter
esting to know how many millions it took
to force this bill through congress, and
charging that in these days of corruption
and trickery men do not change their con
stituency without consideration. The res
%olution further recites that the bill 1.-THE
silver bill had been passed through con
gress by bribery and corruption and that
the integrity of the house demands that
the truth or falsehood of the charge shall
be established, and providing that a com
mittee of seven members be appointed to
investigate the charge.

RALEIGH, NC, July 29.-Sam Potter,
a white man Of Greene county. has had
a woman Of bad character living on his
farm for some time. He was warned two
or three times that he must remove the
woman, but instead os doing this he got
a white man to guard the woman's house
to keep other men away, and especially
to prevent the visits of a negro. A few
nights ago twenty-five men went to the
woman's house, hoping to catch the negro
and whip him. He was not there. They
told the woman she must leave; she set
up a scream which was heard by Potter.

pistol and bowie knife. He was found
next morning with a load ofbuckshot and
five bullets in his body. His white hired
man was tarred and feathered. He took

the tar still on him.

CATTLEMEN AT SEA.
They Make Things Lively for
the Captain and Crew.
Five Children Run Down By q
Passenger Train.
East Saginaw, Mich, Has a
s475,O00 Fire.

NEW YORK, July 29.-Twenty seven
cattlemen made Captain Moran and the
officers OF the steamship Chicago. which
arrived today, very uncomfortable on the
voyage from London. They practically
owned the ship for six or seven hours on
the night of July 20, when nearly half of
them got hilariously drunk on Bass ale,
which they stole from the forward hold
by breaking open the hatch. Cattlemen
usually sign the ships articles and come
back here n~ominally as sailors. They do
no work, however. The cattlemen who left
London on July 10 on the Chicago were a
little more lively than the usual lot Two
DAYS after the ship sailed several of them
we're caught tearing down the cattle pens.
When the second mate asked them what
they meant they answered that they
wanted more room to promenade in. The
second mate told them to stop and they
threatened TO give him a thrsshing if he
did not speak civilly. He got them to
to the captain. One of them said that if
they we're not treated with more con-
siderat,on they would call up the boys
and take charge OF the ship. As there
were only twelve men above deck, and
no FIRE arms aboard. the second mate
looked upon this project as unpleasaotly
feasible. The cattlemen had pretty
much all the liberty they wanted.
and they wanted lots of it. They strolled
into the captains cabin when he
wasn't there land sometimes when he
was) and made themselves almost as much
at home as il they were co-partners 10
command. Some of the cattlemen went
forward to sleep as it was cooler there.
The whole ships company was aroused
by q fight in the cattlemen's new quarters
on the night Of July 20. A dozen or
more OF them were drunk. They were
allowed to fight it out. The third mate
found out early next day where they had
got their liquor. One of the cattlemen.
installing the mate for q common sailor,
took a bottle of Bass out of the nook
forward and gave it to him. The mate
reported to the captain who, accompanied
by some of the sailors. went forward and
found the hatch broken open and three
of the men lying beside it blind drunk.
They were given a chance TO sober Ut,
but the captain did not dare to arrest
them. as their number was too large.
Wher Captain Morgan got into port to-
day he sent the American flag up to the
mlzzen. with the union down. The sig
nal was seen by the police boz. patrol,
which boarded the Chicago and arrested
the three culprits. They are Henry Allison,
James lyman and John McNamara, all Of

Stole a Whole Menagerie.

ST. JOSEPH, MO-, July GAN ele-
plant, two camels and five horses, the
menagerie of Col. John A. Tyler, one of
the wealthiest men in the city, we're stolen
last night. Two weeks ago the Sells &
Address circus stranded in this city deeply
in debt. Col. Tyler was appointed the
receiver of the concern. He put the ami
mals-two camels, an elephant and FIVE
ring horses-on a vacant lot in the south
part of the city and employed the ele-
plants old keeper to take care Of them.
Last night, some time after IL o'clock,
the keeper. with two orthree of the circus
men, took the elephant, camels and horses
and drove them of. and although Col.
Tyler has telegraphed all over the sur
rounding country for a trace of the me
nagerie none has been found. The prop
erty is valued at 81, 900. and the receiver
of the circus and m~enagerie, Mr.. Tyler,
had to give a $4,000 bond. There is
hardly any doubt but that the thieves and
property will be recaptured, and the
colonel says he will prosecute the thieves
to the full extent of the law. 1t is I'M

Neb., and are going North.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-. July 2s.-There is
a respectable family in this city that has
been rent asunder, the household peace
destroyed and conjugal felicity dissipated
by the balefrl agency of a pretty
stenograpber.
Charles s. Rood is the senior partner OF
the firm Of Rood Bros, who deal in fur
nsces. ranges and stoves at 1920 and 1922
Walnut street. He is well known not
only In Kansas City and surrounding
towns. but through Missouri and Kansas.
He moves in the very best and most
select society of the city, and is also a
prominent member of the First Congre-
R~ational church, of which the Rev. DR..
Hopkins is pastor. He has been married
twenty-four years and to a most excellent
woman. and has a beautiful daughter
nearly l6 years Of age.
The name of the stenographer is Miss
Lizzie Turner. Attracted by the beauty
of the young woman, Rood began playing
more the lover than the employer. He
bent caressinRlY over her while debating
a long letter on pokers and CRATES, and
took her into his confidence when dis.
cussing the soul narrowing subject of
gasoline stoves. He was even seen 10
caress her in the midst of a discussion
upon the most improved plumbing ap-
paratus. He has bad the temerity to
take preparatory steps for a divorce,
allowing his wife and daughter in the
interval the munificent sum of $44 a
month.

Knew a Heap when In a Trance.

KANSAS CrrY, Mo-. July 29.-The
greatest phenomenon ever introduced to
the spiritual world is being coached by
an eminent physician OF this city. who
has already expended a considerable sum
in the investigation of his subject. Some
time ago a caller at the Office of the phys
ician desired, as he said. to place HIM
self under medical charge that his men
tai condition might be properly diagnosed
as his friends, he alleged, believing him
insane, were determined to send him to
an asylum. He commended he was as
sane rs any man alive, but freely admitted
that at times ne was beside himself, as he
frequently vent into frances, during
which period his conversations were Of a
most remarkable and unnatural charac-
ter. Soon he enlisted the Doctors inter
est and curiosity and was retained about
the Office. Only a few days elapsed when
the physician. upon entering his Office,
observed his patients peculiar condition,
and was startled and surprised beyond his
power of expression. The man was in a
trance, and Immediately introduced him
self as q learned Berlin physician, de-
ceased fifty years ago. This learned phys.
ician was the author of many valuable
professional works. now accepted autbori-
ty throughout the medical world. The
patlent-a rough. illiterate German. who
speaks very broken EnRlish-used the
most polished language and professional
terms in discussing and reviewing the
learned doctors career upon earth, as
well as his medical works. The physician
who has him 10 charge and who is in
timately acquainted with the medical
writings OF the deceased German physi-
clan declares no professional, however well
acquainted with these writings and dis
coveries, could have handled the subjects
so well as his remarkable patient.

1t has been shown by NJ. Esmarch that
disease microbes do not long survive in
corpses, and that as a general rule the
more rapidly decomposition takes place
the more quickly will the organisms
perish. Experiments were made with
nine different kinds of microbes, con-
tanned in the bodies of animals under
the various conditions of burial in the
ground, keeping under water and expos
ure to air. The bacillus of fowl cholera
was seldom found after three weeks,
though that of septicemia survived
ninety days, while that of consumption
did not lose its virulence until from 204
to 252 days had passed. All trace of the
other organisms-including those of ty-
phoid fever, Asiatic cholera, tetanus and
anthra1-disappeared in from three days
to a week

Kan.a. Prisons May Be Emptied.

ATcHIsoN, Kan, July 29.-B. P.
WagRener that he will to-
morrow present a petition to | nited
States Judge Foster asking that Arthur
Lett, a prisoner in the Kansas peni-
Tertiary, be released. Lett is young
colored man who was sent to prison for
~betraying a girl under IS years of z
A recent statute provides that such .
seduction shall be regarded as a criminal
assault and the offender shall be punished
by confinement at bard labor. The crimes
act says a felony shall be punished BY
confinement at hard labor in the peni-
Tertiary. The act making Let's offense a
crime omits the words, in the penl-
tertiary" This discrepancy, Mr.. Wag-
gener claims, will release Lett from the
penitentiary and the severest punishment
that can be inflicted is the county jail.
He quotes the well known principle OF
law that statute relating to crimes shall
be construed strictly. IF the court releases
Lett on the point it will practically dis
charge 500 prisoners in for other ~offenses
whose sentences are authorized BY sections
OF the law which omits the words Sin the
penitentiary." MI. Waggener is a law
yer of recognized ability, and it is not
probable that he would put forward his
claim unless he is backed by good author
ity. He says he does not apply to the
state court because it would not be policy
for a state court to make a decision that
would set at liberty nearly all the
prisoners in the penitentiary.

Lumber company, a man who is on the
list of st. Louis ~millionaires, wa arrested

ST. LOUIS. July 29.-It is understood
a syndicate of wealthy men have pur-
chased 20, 600 acres of ground from the
Mexican government not a hundred miles
from the City Of Mexico, in . of the
many fertile valleys that abound in that
portion of the country, and intend to set
tie it with negroes from the United
States. The government has promised
protection from the natives and given
other guarantees. J. NJ. Turner, the
negro politician and leader, has informed
the syndicate that, should they secure the
land and offer Inducements which would
clearly show to the negroes that their con
dition would be changed for the better in
the new home, he could lead a large
colony and settle the valley at short no.

BOSS REED ROASTED.
Republicans Getting Tired of
His Tyrannical Rule.
Struble of Iowa Gives Him a
Severe Tongue Lashing.
The Tariff Bill Again Taken
Up in the Senate.

WASHINGTON. July 29.-The com-
mittee on appropriations reported a joint
resolution providing temporarily (until
Aug. LAY for such of the expenditures of
the government as have not been provided
tor by the appropriation bills which have
already Become laws. Passed.
The house her went into committee of
the whole on the senate amendments to
the sundry civil appropriation bill.
In speaking to one of the senate amend
ments to the sundry civil bill, Struble of
Iowa made a bitter attack upon Speaker
Reed for his action toward gentlemen
having an interest In public building bills.
He contrasted the courteous manner
OF Speaker Carlisle towards all
gentlemen requesting recognition with the
almost sneering manner 10 which the
present speaker treated such requests.
The speaker treated the members as if
they were BOYS. he did not propose to
stand this treatment any longer without q
protest. Should the members, he asked,
continue to submit longer like towards to
to the dictation of the speaker Should
they not rather combine in an honest at
tempt to have recognition2 He was for
rebellion against the rulings of the
speaker in regard to public building bills.
Struble's remarks were vigorously APP
plauded by the Democrats.
Cannon thought the gentleman from
Iowa had better have withheld his attack
upon the speaker. He (Canuon) did not
feel called upon to defend the speaker, the
speaker needed no defense.
Peters of Kansas defended the speak
er's action.
McClammy OF North Carolina expressed
his pleasure in knowing the occasion had
arrived when the gentleman (Struble)
could have the courage of his convictions.
Laughter, which broke out louder when
McClammv alluded to Struble's failure to
secure a denomination by speaking of the
beautiful tones of the dying swan.
An amendment which gave rise to dis
cussiou was that a%ppropriating $500. 900
for the purchase of a suitable site for the
building. McClamny took occasion to
poke more fun at Mr.. Struble, greatly to
the amusemeniiofthe house. The amend
ment was non concurred in. The committee
having concluded consideration of all
the amendments required to the consid-
Grafton OF the irrigation amendments,
which had been passed over temporarily.
Ii was agreed that the debate on this
amendment should be limited to four
hours, and the committee then arose aud
