Wonders in Whiskers.


We notice with qualification that the
sweet and swirling whiskers of the Hon.
Moses Publication Handy of the Glover
club and the Columbian Exposition COM
mission have been attracting vast crowds
and vaster admiration at the Novgorod
fair. There is no better way of enticing
foreigners to the Chicago show than to let
them see some of the representative won
ders of the Western hemisphere Of these
the seven now regarded as bearers of the
bun are these:
/. Mustaches of Melville Weston Fuller Sweet
est.)
2 The beard of Billalliance PETER Congest)
8. The capillary splashboards of Colonel
Handy (swellest.)
4. The mustaches before amputation) of Po-
liceman French longest from tip TO tip)
5. The superlabial ornaments OF Colonel E. F.
Jones (most martial.)
6. The suppressed whiskers of John Wanna
maker (most moral
2. The phantom mustache of T. B. Reed (most
scattering)
OF course there is no general agreement
as to the exact order of the Seven Whis-
kered Wonders of the New York World.
and the inclusion of Wanamaker in the
list seems to many lftcus a non tucendo
There is no doubt, however, that Commits
sioner Handy's place in the whiskered
septet is high, if not the highest. Long
may those glorious whiskers wave in the
winds of eloquence or tremble in the gale
of song; and palsied be the hand of the
barber that would pluck a single hair
therefrom. All hair and a yard wide.

TASCOTT LONG DEAD.
Smells Murderer Said to Have
Been Strangled by Pals.
THE WIFE OF ONE coNFEssEs.
Pennsylvania Legislature Meets to In
press Company Scandal.

BALTIMORE, Oct 13.-The widow of the late
AiDert n Ordway, who committed suicide here
last March, was taken to Bay View today. She
mas recently asserted that her husband was the
companion OF William Tascott, the man who is
supposed TO have murdered Millionaire Smell in
chicago few years ago. Ordway was the son
OF weil-known elothier, and she was married
TO him in 1881. Her husband, she says, soon
TOOK to drink and began to associate
with disreputable people. One night he stood
before mirror with mask on his face and de-
ciared he was going TO have money from old
man Smell or kill the -. She pleaded with
MIN TO renounce his intention, but he persisted
and left the house in hurry. The next morn
ing he returned with bloody handkerchief and
without shoes. When questioned by her he
said he had loaned his shoes TO Tascott, who
had been shot and was lying in the rear of a sa-
loon on West Madison street.
One OF the most important statements in the
Woman's story is that she knows Tascott is
dead. She says she knows he was strangled to
death and his body made away with by his pals
In that connection she mentioned the names of
Funkhouser, Marston and Reynolds. Subsequent
to the murder of Smell she says her husband
was continually nervous and always seemed
anxious to leave the city, although he was in
business with his father. After great deal of
persuation she agreed to accompany him to Bal
timore. After they arrived here she made up
her mind TO expose the crime, but he induced
her not to do 30. Finally, as a result of drink,
he suicided.

Legislature Meets to Investigate Treas

Legislature Meets to Investigate Treas
urer and Auditor General.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct 13-The special session
OF the state Senate was called to order this
morning. The governors message calling the
session was read. In it he said the session was
convened to take action with regard to the
alleged misconduct of the heads of two
of the departments of the state govern
ment we'll as other elective officers.
The governor reviewed at great length the testi-
mony taken by the various committees which
have been investigating the affairs of Bardse ley,
the Philadelphia treasurer who now in the
penitentiary, and severely ayraigned Henry
Boyer, state treasurer, and Thomas Nc
Camant, auditor general of the state, for
their connection with Bardsley's misdoings In
conclusion, the governor said the responsibility
of determining whether reasonable cause exists
for removal rests with the Senate and the pub
lie expected it would be met and discharged
without regard to partisan advantage or detri-
ment, and to the honor of the commonwealth.
A committee of three Democrats and three Re-
publicans were appointed to draw up rules OF
procedure, and adjournment was taken until to-
morrow
The committee charged with the investigation
of the departments of the auditorlgeneral and
state treasurer this morning adopted q report
and sent 1t to Governor Pattison. The committee
finds that the evidence wholly fails to disclose
any just ground for suspicion as to the personal
and official integrity of State Treasurer Boyer
and that it fails to show any act of personal or
official dishonor on the part of Auditor General
Camant, of the improper receipt by him OF any
money, either directly or indirectly,
from Bardsley. The committee charges rep
rehensible the custom of the two departments
in allowing the county treasurers to withhold
large sums of money collected by them. With
regard to the present system of depositing state
funds, the committee suggests that the laws
should be speedily changed. The committee
will meet this evening to hear the report of the
minority.

Adams Express Co. Elects New Officers
Henry Sanford is President.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The dismissal of Pres
ident John Hoey, OF the Adams Express Com
pany, and the resignation of ice-President
Spooner, came as a complete surprise to the
business community. At a meeting of the
board of directors of the Adams Express Com
pany this afternoon, Henry Sanford, of Bridge
port, Conn.,, was elected president, and Fred
eriek Lovejoy vice president, to succeed Hoey
and Spooner. A committee was appointed to
examine into the financial status of the COM
pany. Hoey eluded the reporters. In the meet
ing Mr. Sanford asked Hoey to resign his posi-
ton as a member of the board of directors but
Hoey fatty refused. He said the directors
could put him out of the presidency, but they
could not displace him as director. 1t is under
stood that this will be referred to counsel for an
opinion.
Mr. Sanford, the new president, has been con-
nected with the company for forty five years,
and at one time was its general superintendent
Lovejoy was for long time superintendent of
the Pennsy lvania division of the company. In
1856 he resigned to accept the presidency of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad, retiring from
there two years ago.

THE URUGUAY REBELLION.
Patterned After the Revolt in Chile
But Nipped in the Bud.

Nlppeu IN the Du0s
NEW YORK, Oct. l3.-The Herald has a long
special from Montevideo about the revolution
which was nipped in the bud a few days
ago. The revoiutionists belonged to q
club organized for an express pur-
pose. They called themselves the junta,
after the fashion of the Congressionalists of
Chile. 1t was confidently expected by them
that large number of soldiers would rally 10
their ranks. Accordingly when they left their
quarters they proceeded at once 10 the
barracks. There, to their surprise, they were
taken prisoners. DR.. Rantaleon Perez, their
chief, made bold attempt to escape,
but was shot down Two hundred
armed revolutionists, who had waited
outside, retired to the national
club and shortly after opened fire upon bat
talon of soldiers that happened to pass, wound
ing three officers. The troops returned the fire
with deadly effect Fifty three prominent men of
the junta were instantly killed. How many were
wounded the correspondent could not learn,
but 1t is understood that the number is cores
pondingly large. A panic seized the re-
volutionists when they saw 80 many
OF their comrades lying dead or wounded
about them, and they fed precipitately.
Colonel Latore is bitterly denounced by the
revolutionists. They charge him with the dis
astrous result of the outbreak, and accuse
MIN OF fooling their leaders by pledg-
ing the support of the military party.
There seems to be not the slightest
doubt that the intention of the junta was to as
sassinate President Obes. 1t mad employed
twenty Sfcilians to commit the crime.
These would-be assassins were under
the command of an Italian desperate
named Bait. Fortunately the chief of
police discovered the plot aud measures were
taken to Illustrate it. The four living leaders OF
the junta have been arrested. The troops are
on the alert. The remnants of the revolutionary
bands fed to the country, where they have
organized guerilla bands. The police and troops
are after these outlaws and they will be shown
no mercy when caught At present, says the
correspondent, the revolutionary movement is q
faiiure

that there was no intention upon the part of

for the purpose OF losing games TO Boston, but
in view of the disability of several players it
was unwise in the management to have ar
ranged extra games. The directory is firm in
