PAUpER POPULATION.
How 1t Is Distributed, and the Character
and Color OF Dependents

aud Color OF Dependents
WASHINGTON, d. O.. July 16.-Tht
Census Office has issued bulletin OF
the subject Of paupers In almshouses In
1890, which shows total OF 73,045 a.
against e6,2O3 in 1880. These are
divided according to sex aud color as
follows:
Number of males, white, 37,3s7; num-
Der of males, colored, 1884; number Of
females, white. 26,191; number OF
females, colored, 3,ll5.
In the number of colored persons
given above are included 16 male and 70
female Indians and II male and one Ie-
male Chinese.
The ratio of aims house paupers to the
total population was ! to 75S. Inc
present ratio is to s57. This Is very
marked relative decrease. The aims
house system is not In keeping pace
with the growth of the population at
large. The decline In the ratio Is due
to the very much smaller number OF
paupers cared for in aims houses In the
North Atlantic division where there has
been not only relative, but an absolute
decrease in the number.

ing the colored paupers who may all be

A story which, II True, Clears Up
That Old Mystery.
ST. JOSEPH, July 16.-K. B. Ran
dolph. an attorney Of this city, who has
lust returned from Nickerson, Kas., says
that he there made the acquaintance Of
Tom Doolittle, an old-time freighter,
who told him a story of the famous Ben
ders which, If true, settles all question
as To the present whereabouts OF the
family of murderers. DoOlittle says al
ter the murder Of York, a band Of
searchers. headed by the murdered
mans brother, went to the Bender
house and eXtOrted confession from
the old woman. They then quietly pro-
ceeded to hang old man Bender, bis
wife and son to the rafters OF the
house. During this proceeding Kate
Bender uttered some protest and was
shot 20 death. After the family had
been despatched, York's avengers took
their bodies to an old creek bed some
wards distant aud buried them. The
attention Of a family living on an ad-
ioinlns ranch was attracted to the Ben
der place some days after by a starving
calf, and then their absence was hrs'
made known to the public. This gave
rise 10 the report that the murdered
family had fed TO avoid punishment and
caused the prolonged search after them
bv the officers OF the law and detectives.
Mir. Randolph says Doolittle bears
good reputation for truth and veracity
and named several persons by whom he
claimed the truthfulneSS Of his story
cOnld be proved.

New YORK, July 16.-The rumors In

duct of America, and has closed con-
tracts for the purchase Of the principal

day: 1.-THE statement in telegram

glish capitalists, but am satisfied that

Christian Alliance Members Give Up Their
Jewels to support New R9issions.


Jewels to support New Missions.
ROUND LAKE, N. 2, July 16,--The
religious suburb of Saratoga has been
the scene Of some highly interesting
meetings during the past ten days.
They have not been so-called camp meet
ings, with the peculiar style Of super
heated appeals and fervid eloquence
characteristic of those gatherings.
The New York State Christian Al
lance, of which the Rev. A. b. Simp-
son, OF the Gospel Tabernacle, New
York, is the president and leading spirit.
has had charge Of the gathering, which
has numbered some two hundred MEM
bers OF the alliance, representing all
sections Of the State, with sprinkling
from the regular colony Of Round Lake
cottagers.
This was the closing day Of the ses-
siOns. There were probably five hun
bred people assembled in the great audi
forum, an immense assembly hall,
whose sides are removed when the
weather is hot. President Simpson
made a powerful appeal to all present.
to concentrate themselves to the work
of the Lord, and their possessions to the
support of the missions established by
the Alliance support In the slums OF the
cities and other unholy places In the
State. Fourteen converts had been
baptised in the waters of Round Lake
only last Sunday and the religious feel
ing was intense.
BROTHER SIMPSON ASKS FOR MONEY.
''We want 81, 600 to support new mis-
sions," said Brother Simpson; "who
will be the first to give?"
al will" promptly responded Miss 4.
Louise Shepard, prominent and
wealthy society young woman OF New
York, who was a Saratoga belle In
former seasons, but united with the
Alliance about six months ago, and has
deserted society for Christian work.
Suiting her action to her words, Miss
Shepard stepped up to the platform,
and, drawing three valuable diamond
rings of her fingers, handed them to
Mr.. Simpson, saying, al have no further
use for them; they are useless, any
way. Let their value be devoted to the
Lord"
Then, producing well-flled pocket
book, she added further gift Of $3.50
in cash. This produced sensation,
and Mr.. Simpson called out: who will
be the next?"
MISS SHEPARD FINDS MANY FOLLOWERS.
Colonel Burkhardt, OF Kentucky,
swiftly claimed that honor, stepping up
to the front and pulling off his valuable
gold watch with heavy gold chain.
The calls of ''who next?' which Brother
Simpson kept shouting after each new
donation, for numbers were pressing
eagerly forward with jewelry, watches
and money, some women even giving
their wedding and engagement rings,
were all promptly answered.
Among the givers was one man who
refused to give his name, who handed
out four crisp, new one hundred dollar
bills. How much was raised is not def
nitely known, but 1t is thought 1t will
fully cover the $1,000 called for. Miss
Shepard was so overcome by emotion |
that she burst into tears.

the facts they were unable to render
help. Young Lane managed to save his
own life after fruitless effort to rescue

after his companions were drowned.

Important Discovery in Connection
With Mysterious Death.

Important Discovery in Connection
With q Mysterious Death.
New YORK, March 18.-District Attorney
Fitzgerald of Tottenville, S. l., who is in
vestigating the mysterious death Of Carl
Ruttinger, to-day found in valise, among
Ruttin8er's effects, photo negatives of Rut-
finger and his brother-in-law. Wright.
After careful comparison Mr.. Fitzgerald
said that he had no doubt that Ruttinger
was the dead man lying in the morgue
A reporter who saw the negatives was
struck by the resemblance OF Wright to the
man who committed suicide in the Astor
house Feb 3, and who was buried under
the name of Fred Evans"
The latest and most important develop
ment in the case is the discovery by the 20
lice that Ruttinger's life had been insured
in German company and through a for
eign branch of New York company for
$50, 600. This has led to the theory that
possibly the body which was found bound
and gagged in tho marshes at Tottenville
was not that of Ruttinger at all, and that
the whole mystery is an ingeniously con-
trived graveyard insurance" plot. In other
words, 1t is suggested that the conspirators
may have obtained body OF a man very
much resembling Ruttinger in appearance,
shipped it to Tottenvlle, dressed it up in
Ruttinger's Clothes and placing the pass
port in the pocket. dumped the disguised
corpse into the Arthur kills in the expecta-
ton that, when found. the only means of
Identification would be the clothing and
the written document.

had bis leg shot of. The Provenzanos used
old.tashioned horse pistols bored out and

Saturday, and who had been on good terms
with Hennessey, wanted the latter to assist
In convicting the Prevenzanos even after il
was known that the Malta was producing
perjured testimony. Hennessey refused.
During the summer he sent to Italy and got
the records OF all tho witnesses who had
deeper into the order than any outsider
ever dared, and when he was up here to see
me in October he said he had the evidence
10 root up the Malta in this country. He
had ascertained facts that would have I'M
cloaked their organized band of assassins
and would have sent great crowd to the
penitentiary for perjury. Chief Hennessey
told me he believed O'Malley had told Joe
