She Meant Well.

There is u married lady in this town
who has IA headstrong husband, aud
she likes To have her own way her
SELF.
She made up hor mind a few weeks
ag' to join n lodge ind take n bene-
ticiary insurance policy for 5000 for
the benefit OF her child. Her husband
would not listen to tho proposition ut
all; he believed in running his own
life insurance company Ly saving his
money md taking care Of it himself
during his lifetime; shs wished to in
sure as we'll MS TO have the social en-
joyment Of Lodge membership.
Not being ablo to novel her husband,
she resolved TO join secretly. She
could not leave her tive.year.o old child
in the house. and she took it along,
and excused herself froa homo by
saying she was going out TO buy "a
hat. She won't to tho Lodge, aud loft
the child in tho ante in charge
OF the outside guard. She "rodo the
goat" and all that sort Of thing, and
returned TO her house nfter u very
successful trip.
The young ono paralyzed her Mt the
breakfast table the next morning,
though. "What did those men do TO
you last night, mammal" no said.
Sho turucd overy color, but tho old
man turned only n color besides
the table aud his chair, and then lie
turned himself loose.
She protested that she had done
nothing wrong outside OF joining the
Lodge, and only succeeded in pacify-
ing her husband after bringing all
her o brothers and sisters in evil

ever, that the bill is not SO much OF n
blunder as they now represent il, as it
is evidently accomplishing the pur-
purpose for which it was designed,
that Is, enriching n few at the expense
OF the many. The bill placed raw
sugar, which hitherto had been taxed
two cents per pound, on the FREQ list,
thereby expressing disbelief in the
theory Tint :he foreign producer, not
the American consumer, paid the tax,

was what the sugar trust waited, and

New York Herald publishes the report
that his mission is TO establish league
for the preservation Of peace, which
the Gar and his amiable wife are
anxious shall be affected. That the
report should prove true would be
gratifying in itself, but the restless ann
bition Of the leading military men Of
the Russian Empire and their enter
prise in regions where conflict might
be provoked at any time suggest the
doubt whether even the mighty Gar
could prevent the possibility Of war on
grand scale. The existence Of a
huge standing army is always a men
ace to the preservation Of peace.
Whether for peace or war the Gar
has an able diplomatic servant in
Nicholas carlovitch dc Giers, Of whom
is here given an admirable portrait.
The Russian Minister of Foreign At
fairs was born in 1920. He is Of Swed-
ish ancestry. When only Is years old
he entered the Asiatic Department Of
the Minister Of Foreign Affairs at St.
Petersburg. In 1S41 he was attached
to the Russian Consulate in Moldavia.
During the Hungarian campaign of
1848 he was employed as diplomatic
official at the headquarters of the Rus
sian Commander-in-chief, where he
gained great distinction and honor by
his ability. In 1850 he was sent to
Constantinople as First Secretary of
Embassy. Subsequently he served the
Gar in Roumania, Egypt, Wallachia
and Moldayia, prior to his appointment,
in 1868, as Ambassador Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary at Te-
heran, where he advanced Russian in
terests with marked success. In 1869
he was made Russian Minister to Berne,
later to Stockholm, and in December,
1879, was appointed adjunct to the
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diree-
tor Of the Asiatic Department, with a
seat in the Senate. In 1876. and the
year after, in the absence Of Gorts-
chakoff, he had total direction Of the
foreign affairs Of the empire, and since
1882 has been at the head of the For
eign Department. Nine. de Giers il h

ST. Louis, October GA dispatch
from Rio Grande City, Texas, says
Two of the men who were shot at mid
night, October 10, at Cuardado de Ar
riba ranch by order Of General Garcia,
because of their alleged revolutionary
proclvities, are now known to have
been Juan Bazan and Jose Angel Vera.
1t is also stated that they were Ameri-
can citizens and voters in this county.
Bazan was a brother of lieutenant
inthe Mexican army, who was on duty
at the time of his execution between
Camargo and Matamoras. John d.
Richardson, American COUNSEL at Mata-
moras, Mexico, has announced that he
will make thorough investigation Of
the killing, and if the men were Ameri-
can citizens he will take further legal
steps.
Three men have been put in jail at
Mier, Mexico, during the past few
days. OF those arrested, Louis Y.
Bagguirre, is the only one who has es-
capped speedy execution. The citizens
on the other side of the border are ter
rorized by the recent action of General

THE ATTACK ON ouR
SAILORS.
Especial to TIM wonID.l

SANTIAGO DE Chill, October 27.--
The United States government to-day,
through Minister Egan, formally de-
manded reparation from the govern
ment of Chill for the attack made upon
a number Of the seamen Of the United
States cruiser Baltimore. Thedemand
made by the United States minister is
no informal suggestion that the gov
eminent at Washington expects some
kind Of satisfaction for the killing and
wounding Of the Baltimore's Soldiers
Il is friendly-put notification, given
according to direct orders received
from the State Department at Wash
ington, thatthe United States demands
an immediate explanation ofthe whole
affair, and PREPARATION for the injuries
inflicted.
Acting upon the instructions sent to
him from Washington, Mr.. Egan pre-
sented the CHILEAN Junta with detail
ed statement of the results Of the in
yestigation made by Captain Schley,
Of the Baltimore, and by Mr.. Egan
himself. These Investigations had
shown that Charles Riggan, one Of
the Baltimore's petty officers, was
brutally assaulted by several Chilians
while he was riding on street-car.
Riggan resisted, but was dragged from
the car and murdered by pistol shot.
He died in the arms Of his companions
Turnbull, another Of the Raltimore's
wounded men, who died to-day from
his injuries, received no less than
eighteen stab wounds in his back, two
Of them penetrating his lungs.
After giving full list Of the Balti-
more's crew who were injured by the
mob, Mr.. Eagan's statement called
attention to the fact that thirty-five of
the cruisers crew were, ON the day Of
the riots, arrested, unnecessary vio-
lates being used by the police, and
that they were detained in custody
without due cause.
