PARIS, March 4.-News of horrible
massacre comes from Madagascar. Ra-
miasatra, governor of the province
of Belanord, resenting petition
from the populace to the gov
ernment to defend them from cruelties,
massacred 27S persons, including men,
women and children belonging to the
leading families. The slaughter was
continued for several days. The agonies
of the victims were in many cases
protracted. Sometimes their limbs
were gradually dismembered, their
heads were sawn off and their bodies
thrown to the dogs. Many of the wo-
men were outraged. The survivors were
forced to erect trophy composed of the
heads of the victims. Popular fury has
caused the government to announce
that the offender will be punished.

Sale of Trotting Stock in New York-The
Rosemeade Stud Delayed.
NEW YORK, March 4.-The second
DAYS sale OF blooded California trotting
stock opened at 10 O'Clock this morning.
According to the plan of sale, l.. j,
Roses Rosemeade stud, from Los An
geles. California, was to have been put
up this morning, but the horses failed
to arrive, and telegram received by
the auctioneer, stated that delays had
occurred on the road, and that the stock
only reached Chicago this morning. The
sale was therefore put over to Friday
morning.
Valensin's consignment of Sydney
stock was sold. The average price re-
ceived was 1919 per head.
The Burke stud of Menlo park, Cali
fornia, was next put up. Auctioneer
Kellogg announced that the Stimson
stud, which was ON the schedule for to-
morrow, had been delayed on the road,
and Thompson, Forbes & Russel's would
be offered in its place. The Burke stud
average was only $5S7 at the fifteenth
sale, and this average was still further
reduced by subsequent low rates.
Quite a number of Valensin colts
were suffering from colds, induced by
the change from the equable California
climate, to that of the east, hence they
were not for sale.

NUTS FOR THE RAILROAD.
How Sir John Macdonald Proposes to
Carry the Canadian Elections.

CdTTy thc A1ACSbiohSs
CHICAGO, March "A Montreal spec
cial says: The sensational disclosure
was made last night, from an "unques-
tionable source" that the Canadian Pa
cific, taking advantage OF the predica-
ment in which Sir John Macdonald
finds himself placed by the uncertainty
of the outcome of tomorrow's elections,
has found an "amicable" adjustment of
the differences existing between the
railway and the government. The gov
ernment, it is stated, in return for the
assistance of the railway company in
the Forthcoming elections, will abandon
the 81 100000 claim on the North Shore
railway will continue permanently the
governments guarantee on the Canadian
Pacific railway stock, which expires in
1898, and viii settle the claim Of the
company for $5,000,000 in connection
with the "Onderdonk" section of the
Canadian Pacific railway in British Col
umbia. The result of this deal, should
the government escape defeat, would be
that the interest on $65 100000 Canadian
Pacific railway stock, would become a
permanent charge ON the country.

The Evangelical Factions.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, March 4.-The Bow
man conference today adopted resolu-
tions to join 'the great majority of
sister conferences" in the declaration
that the trial and suspension of Bishops
Bowman and Esher were wicked farces,
and consequently null and void. The
conduct of the bishops in discharging
their duties in the face of opposition
and vituperation, is heartily approved.
In the anti-Bowman conference, the
secretary was instructed to demand of
the secretary of the Bowman conference
all conference records. In case of re-
fusal, the matter will be referred to a
committee.

London ,Change Unsettled.

LONDON, March AT this hour
q 80 p, m.) the stock market is restless
and depressed, on vague rumors of i'm
pending failure in the silver trade, as
the result of the decline in the price of
rupees, and in Mexican and Denver and
Rio Grande shares and other securities.
Inquiries at several commercial houses,
including that OF Thomas Morgan & Co.,
failed to confirm the rumors. The gen.
eral belief is that the rumors originated
from the liquidation of prominent
South American firm which has been in
progress for week past.

here that papers have been signed Tor
the transfer of the silver mines known
as the Badger. Porcupine and West End,

proximating $10,000,000. These three
mines produce one-half the silver taken
from the Port Arthur district. The OPP

it is claimed, are now under way for
some important mining properties in
old Mexico and Colorado. The identity
of the purchasers is kept secret, but

The Mystery of the Shooting of a Bank
President.


McPHERsoN, Kan, March 1.-The
mystery surrounding the shooting of G:
A. Heeglund, president OF the Second
National bank, which suspended Mon
day, is partially cleared up. The
wounded man recovered consciousness
for the first time today. He says he
started for Kansas City on Sunday
night, on the night train, on business,
but at Harrington stayed too long at the
lunch counter, and missed his train.
He came back to Mcpherson on
the morning train, and as he was walk
ing home about 5o'clock, some one came
up to him and shot him in the breast.
1t was so dark that he could not see the
assassin. He managed to reach home,
but soon lost consciousness. No motive
for the shooting is known. The bank
examiner has taken charge of the in
stitution. The liabilities are about $3.50,
600, with more than enough assets to
prevent loss to both depositors and
stockholders.

LeMeIa of Roman Women,

The ladies of Rome early imbibed love
for art and artistic decoration of their per
sons. While in early times their dress was
severely simple, they kept pace with the
tastes of the men, and many ladies of rank
We'd with the cardinals in their patronage
of the goldsniths. Cellini numbered sew
eral among his friends, and at various
times keenly felt the consequences of their
dispeasure or caprice. OF course the pat
ronage of women was not directly con
nectcd with the ailais of the church, for
in its councils women were unknown. The
popes and priests never married, else art
might have been more widely applied than
ii was
Women often, however, called the gold
smiths talents into their service for the
creation of tplendid gifts in the name of
their religion. A few of them furnished
means for the creation of altar furniture
of the most elaborate and expensive char
acter, which they presented TO the sanctu-
aries in which they worshiped
But there was another class of Roman
women. There were beauties in Rome rs
not less fond Of personal adornment and
adulation. Like their sisters of today,
they were not averse to the admiration of
the opposite sex, and they enhanced their
natura! charms by all the arts then known.

"The way to keep a man out Of the mud
is to black his boots" says Frederick Doug
lass.
This happy remark often occurs to us
when we see boys going to school with
shoes that have never once known the
brush, with hair uncombed, faces not too
clean, ears unfit for inspection, hands very
black, and cap that has evidently known
hard service as missile weapon. Such a
boy is more likely at least both to talk and
to net unbecomingly than one who is clean
and tidy Something within the tidy boy
compels him to live up to his appearance,
The other boy is apt to live down to his
dirty boots.
Fixing upon boy an odious and belit-
Ting nickname which lowers his self es-
TEEN has the same tendency So does
ridiculing him for any natural defect, and
for the clumsiness which often results
from such q lcfect, The mistakes of youth
frequently result from shyness, and this Is
greatly aggravated by the jeers of compan
ions, and still more by the impatience of q
teacher
Many person now honored and e6-
teemed in the world dates his progress up
ward from the moment when he received
from some honored lips word of encour
agement or discovered by chance that he
was not inferior to his comrades, despite
appearances to the contrary.
We can hardly do a more injurious act
than to make another think more meanly
of himself than he ought to think HUI
mility is an excellent trait, but humility is
"A very different thing from the mortifica.
ton and self abasement that sometimes re
suit from sneers or ridicule.-Youths Com

Dillon, a pale-faced young woman. evil
IDENTIFY i'll in body and mind, has been
sent to Jail until October, when her in
sanity will be inquired into. She has
made two desperate attempts to murder
her former lover, ore John Callahan,

Two years ago she began keeping com
pany with Callahan, who she claims
ruined her under promise of marriage.
her child was born dead, the result Of
shock occasioned by her parents turning
her out of DOORS when her disgrace was
discovered. She appealed to Callahan to
marry her, but by this time he had
formed another attachment and he mar
ried last May.
Last December Miss Dillon shot twice
at Callahan on the street, but was not
prosecuted. Two days ago she went up
behind him as he sat reading, and placed
Q revolver against his head and pulled
the trigger. The pistol snapped, and in
an instant latter she was disarmed. In
court she prayed loudly that she could
live to kill Callahan. She is undoubtedly
insane, and her life threatened by an in
durable malady.
