THE RIPPER.
Complete Identification Of the Victim
One More Arrest.

One More Arrest.
New. YORK, April 2S.-There seems at last
to be no doubt that the old woman killed
by the supposed Jack the Ripper was
Carrie Brown. A retail grocer, John F.
Flower, iii whose family she worked two
years ago, identified the body She told
Z him she was born in Canada and married q
sea captain named Charles Brown Two
women employed in Bellevue hospital also
identified the body. $
Another arrest has been made that tallies
with the description Of the supposed Jack
the Ripper. Two park policemen found
the man in City Hall Park to-day. He wore
a sand colored coat and blue trousers, and
if anything, was scarcely shabby enough
at the slum loding house that fatal night
The Ripper is said to have worn shabby
blue coat. The man whose name is said to
be Henry Young, was examined at
the Oak steet station, confronted
with !" Frenchy's" cousin and later taken TO
were meanwhile driven out Of the station
house SO great was the desire to keep quiet
the actual bent OF the police work and the
facts learned thereby. The name OF the
cousin OF Frenchy is not Young
The territory OF the precinct where the
butchery occurred is simply swarming with
detectives Their actual work, whatever
1t is. is enveloped in mystery. The hard
cned characters show no disposition to
give up their haunts or mode of life
At 8 o'clock this afternoon Inspector
I Byrnes arrested the second engineer OF the
Red 3D. line steamer Philadelphia, lying.
at her pier on the East river and turned
him over 10 his men and had him taken to
police headquarters.
. The name OF the man could not be
learned, but he almost answers to the de-
scription given by Mary Minter, the
housekeeper OF the East River hotel. The
inspector himself made the arrest. Admit
lance to the steamer was refused to all to-

Williams accuses Stanley of using an

knows some one will accuse him Of
employing medical skill to demon

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. ApriI %. AT 800 this

miles an hour down a heavy grade when

struck the break and jumped the track, en-
tirely breaking away from the body Of the

The Word "N1iIIiner."

The word "milliner" is said to have orig
mated in the Fifteenth century, when the
city of Milan held the primacy in the world
of dress and fashion, and gave to Europe
the modes" as Paris has done in more
modern times. But although in this re-
spect the center of gravity has shifted, an
English traveller tells that you have only
to enter one of the handsome Milaness
shops to be convinced that the milliner in
Milan is by no means moribund.

MisIail EoneN

Here is a little anecdote from which sew
eral deductions might be drawn. 1t might
be used as an argument against over actigi-
ty, for instance, or as showing that u n "a
may have money about MS person and stal
have no ready money. The Boston Courier
relates that small boy riding in street
car was unable to sit quietly, as passengers
in public conveyance ought to do. He
had his fare in his hand, but now and then
laid it on the seat or put it into his mouth
"a filthy habit-when he needed both
hands to execute one of his nervous gym
nastic movements.
He was just in the middle of lively at
tempt to pick up bit of paper with his
left hand twisted under his right leg when
the conductor came along for the fares.
The small boy sat up suddenly, and at
once began to gasp and choke in a manner
really alarming. The conductor looked at
him as il he expected him to go into fit.
Instead of that, however, the poor fellow
recovered himself little, and stammered
out: You'll have to charge my fare to my
father, mister, please. I've swallowed my

Abraham Lincoln in his boyhood was
very popular among the simple, hardwork-
ing pioneers. He had no money, but had
what was better than a golden purse-a
heart that could feel. He sympathized
with everybody, and even with the beasts
and birds He was intolerant of any in
justice, and was a true knight, although
he wore blue jean trousers which were
usually too short for him. This sympathy
with others grew.
Once walking in Washington with Sew
ard and discussing affairs of state he heard
some birds crying, and found that young
bird had fallen from its nest. He stopped
and replaced the bird in the nest. That
instinct of universal sympathy made him
a popular boy, and . ye, more popular man.
If person lives up to the best light he has
he will have more. II a person is generous
at heart without money, he will one day
have n oney with which to be generous in
hand.-Ladies' Home Journal.

THE KITTEN cAEEssEs THE DUCK


a large white duck that lived not long ago
at an English farm house and were dear
friends.
Everywhere the duck went the kitten
went; she would walk by her side, and
purr, and rub her head against the duck s
wing Now and then the duck would stop
and run her bill over the kittens fur; the
kitten seemed to like this very much.
Sometimes she would stand on her two
little black hind feet and clasp her front
paws around the ducks neck. The kitten
never took any notice of the other ducks.
Looking for the Dogs Ancestors Among
the Wolves and Jackals.
There seems to be decided drift of opin-
len among naturalists to the theory that
our numerous varieties of domeSticated
dogs are descended not from single spe-
cies, but from several kinds of wild ami
mals-as, for instance, the wolf and the
jackal. The Fanciers' Journal, comment
ing on the foregoing, says:
There are recorded examples of tanned
wolves which in gentleness and intelll-
gence showed a truly doglike capacity.
With regard to tanned jackals, Darwin has
pointed out that when Caressed they jump
about for joy, wag their tails, lower their
ears, lick their masters hands, crouch
down and even throw themselves on the
ground. When frightened they carry their
tails between their legs.
On the other hand it is undisputed that,
whatever animal we may consider his pro-
genitor, the domestication of the dog be-
gan at an epoch exceedingly remote. The
fossil remains of a large dog have been
found in tertiary deposits, and there is no
doubt that the dog existed in domesti-
Gated state during prehistoric times. His
bones are discovered in the shell heaps of
Denmark and in the lake dwellings of
Switzerland. The dog meets US in the
dawn of history, for such varieties as the
hound, greyhound and watchdog are de-
picted on Egyptian monuments 5000 years
old 1t Is well known that in Egypt the
dog was worshipped under the title of
Anubis, and dog mumInies have been
found. There is mastEf figured on an
Assyrian sculpture belonging to go B. c..
The fact is often overlooked that dogs were
used by the Greeks and Romans not only
in the chase and for hunting down escaped
prisoners, but for war.
1t is worth noting that, according to
some naturalists, the Newfoundland and
St. Bernard dogs form q group by them
selves, darived neither from wolves nor
iackals, but from distinct species Of pro-
genitors. 1t is adisputed question whether
the Newfoundland dog is indigenous to
North America or was introduced either
by the Norwegians in the year 1000 OF by
Cabot IN 1897 Bearing on this question is
the interesting fact that the Norwe9ians
have dogs closely resembling the New
foundland breed. The Dingo dog of AUS
tralia does certainly seem to constitute a
distinct, indigenous species, since it is now
found in both wild and domesticated
state in that country, and its fossil remains
are associated with those of extinct NAM

NUMEROUS ROBBERIES.
Another Stranger Robbed Near the Union
Depot.

Recently there have been a number Of
robberies in Fort Worth, as rule
the victims being strangers in
the city. These robberies have
become so frequent that it becomes
necessary for the adoption of stringent
measures to prevent their recurrence
There should be more police protection at
the Union depot, especially dur
ing train time when crowds
of people are gathered on the platforms and
in the waiting rooms. Yesterday the rob-
berry of Mr.. Perry of Rome, Ga, was
chronicled, and during the day another
victim in the person of DR.. NJ. S.
Works. He came to Fort Worth on the
Texas and Pacific, intending to go to
Waco. He got on a street car with his
wife and child and had seated
them and then started forward
pushed him back against a man behind him
not discover his loss until he got up town.
There are number of men in this city
who dress well and live well, who never do
anything for living, and the inference is
natural that they prey on others. These
gentry should be given hours to leave
the city. The county authorities and
the city authorities should exert themselves
to the utmost in Kidding the city of these
pests City Marshal Maddox should be
given more policemen if necessary so that
three or four could be detailed
to guard people at the Union depot when
trains arrive A detective or two might
not be amiss.
The men who were arrested on suspicion
of robbing Perry were all fined as va
grants, but nothing else could be proven.

The commercial congress which has Just

The first meeting of representatives from
sections that have long clashed on political
issues, naturally enough, was marked by
more or less friction, and the unimportant
explosion that characterized the meeting at
Kansas City will serve to clear the atmos-
pkere and make the work of the congress
at Denver harmonious and effective The
very purpose of the convention is to bring
together sections and people who have
so long been antagouistic without cause
and Indifferent to the benefit of united
action. The date of the meeting at Denver
and the timely notice given is favorable TO
4 very large attendance, and the great in
terest manifested by the different states
and territories indicate patriotic purpose
to make the congress the most important
event ever known west of the Mississippi
