What Miss Willard Says.

CHICAGO, April lO-Miss Frances E. VII.
lard, president Of the national Women's
Christian Temperate union, said today that
she did not know what to make of the report
in regard to the INSTRUMENTATION of Anna
Dickinson. She does know that to her
knowledge Susan Dickinson has been most
generous, faithful and loving sister. She
always has been regarded as most consci-
entious, high minded Christian woman by
all who knew her Miss Willard could not
believe Susan Dickinson capable of the base
conduct attributed to her aud does not see
what She could hope to gain by sucha course.
The plan for the fund which is being raised
is that it should be placed in the hands of
trustees, only the interest to be paid to Anna
Dckin on, and that it shall be kept as per
manent fund for the purpose of aiding any
woman who has given her life to the public
andis no longer able to care for herself.
Miss Willard has two letters Of recent date
FROM Susan Dickinson, in one of which she
speaks of Anna having suddenly and vio-
lently turned against her, ''as is usual in such
cases" Miss Willard thinks Anna Dickin-
son is a victim of baseless delusions.

Miss Susan Dickinson Talks.

SCRANTON, Pa, April 1O.--Nliss Susan
Dickinson was in the city today in consulta-
ton with friends relative to the statements
made by her sister to reporter in New
York. Miss Dickinson said she had tele-
graphed DR.. Seward that he would be held
for da images for the injury he is doing her
sisters mind in confirming her delusion,
and also that frien DIS In West Pittston and
vicinity will testify that she has devoted her
life for years to the welfare and interests of
Anna. She answers all the charges made
against her by Anna and says the latter has
been demented for some time, but il vas
only when she became violent that she con-
cluded to have her placed in an asylum She
says that Anna was not roughly treated.
In con clusion Susan SAYS she sees now that
her friends told her truly when they said she
was foolish to devote her life to Anna. Here
after Anna must find faithful servan is
wherever she can. Miss Susan does not ex-
plain why, when the Scranton Republican
first gave TO the world the story of her
sister insanity, she sent strongly worded
denial OF it to every paper in the region,
claiming that the report was cruel out

FREMONT, Neb, April 10.-ISpecial Tele
gram to THE BEE. "A man who gave his
name as H. NJ. Cook undertook to play a con-
fdeuce game with Turner Brothers of this
city yesterday. Cook gave it out that he
was division superin tendent Of the Union
Pacific road and wanted to buy some stock
on the side, whereupon he was directed to
the Turner'S After some dickering Cook
closed a deal for two cars Of cattle. The
stock was driven to the yards for loading. A
check was given for their payment, but Tur-
ner, suspecting that all was not right, inves
tigated the case and found that there was no
money in the bank, on which the check was
drawn, to Cooks credit. The stock was
therefore not turned over to him, but billed
to Chicago by Turner. The stock was
stopped at the South Omaha yards by Cook
who had taken an earlier train out of the
city, and this morning Turner received word
that they were there and that one of the
Turner's was to be around soon to see to their
selling, having concluded not to ship through
to Chicago. Turner wired back that the
man representing himself as Turner was an
impostor and to arrest him. He then took
the first train this morning for South Omaha
to look after the ill-fated two cars of cattle
and to run down the swim dler who was try
ing to get away with them.

Philadelphia Phys sfcians Deny That
Her Commitment Was IRE q ular.
PHILADELPHIA, April l0.--1'ne story that
Anna Dickinson was a sane woman when
she was committed TO the Danyille insane
asylu and that her commitment was irregu-
lar, that the state lunacy laws were in her
case fagrautly violated, and that Philadelphia
physicians and officials were concerned in
the injustice alone, is officially aud particu
larly denied here. The letter which Miss
Dickinson says she sent to the chairman and
secretary of the state board of charities
Drs. Morton and Wethcril of this city--was
received by DR.. Weth erl who visited her
Immediately in company with the
attorney Of the board, DR.. Barlow
DR. Wetherl today said: 1--WE found
Miss Dickinson installed IN the most
comfortable ward Of the whole lnsttut tiOn
The interview was necessarily brief, because
She declined to talk to US, or at least would
say very little. When not actually talking to
us she walked excitedly up and down the
room, giving uttcran ce 10 incOherent words
and phrases and actin q In exactly the manner
insane people are accu stoned to act. Neither
Mr., Barlow DR. Sch hultz nor myself had the
slightest doubt that she was derauged From
a perusal Of her story and from knowledge
OF her case think she is entirely sane now.
Speaking from what saw of her only, i will
say it very probable that she is insane at
the present time. DR.. Seward of New Y ork
l see, vouches for the opposite view of the
case, and in the absence OF another examina-
tion Of Miss Dicknso on, | cannot speak posi-
lively of her condition.

Sioux City,s Saloons.

Sioux CITY, Ia, April 1O.-[Special to
The ZEE. The breaking down of the sur
repttious saloon license law which was en-
forced here by the city mayor and the police
for two years has brought about a new era
OF the bootlegger and the hOe-in-the-wall
keeper. Under the system Of monthly fines
about 81, 800 to s2,0C0 was paid into the city
treasury. A pretty orderly system Of saloons
was established, some of them being well
kept
Three weeks ago the law and order league,
after a long period Of lethargy, suddenly
instituted promscuous prosecutions. The
principal saloons Were enjoined and heavy
fines Were assessed upon the owners of the
buildings as well as upon the saloonkeepers
"'hen the city authorities said that they
would keep hands of as long as the law and
order league assumed to take charge of the
enforcement of the law
From that day the bootlegger began to
multiply. They now swarm in the alleys
The 'iolnt' and the "spealk easy" are spring
ing up everywhere. There are half a dozen
wholesale dealers who organize these Illicit
methods of irrigation. Some of the whole
sale dealers have each taken out MS high as
fifteen or twenty government licenses, and
bootleggers and keepers of "spoak easlesn
ore merely their agents, The police are not
interfering and the law and order lea cue Is
pOwerless to stop the protean evil There
are now over TWO hundred and fifty retail
government licenses IN force.

Scene alta Funeral.

LONDON, April 10.--ISpecial CaDlogram to
THE BEE. IA remarkable scene was wit
messed at ndleburg during the funeral OF
Mrs. Fielding Swinton, whose death was at
tended by circumstances which gave rise to
suspicious against her husband. While the
burial rites were in progress crowd of fifty
women, who were in attendance as mourncrs,
attacked woman who was known to have
been criminaly intimate with Mr. Swlnton
and who had dcfied public opinion by making
her appearance at the funeral of the woman
she had wronged. They drove her away and
pursued her down the street of the
village, pelting her with stones
aud mud gathered from the highway.
As the angry women rushed past the mills,
large number of mill hands, attracted by tho
clamor, left their work and joined in the
chase. In a moment, however, some Of the
leaders among the men raised the cry that
they might better be after the woman's part
ner in iniqulty who was the more guilty of
the two. Acting on the suggestion the male
portion of the mob turned their attack upon
the husband, who was close at hand among
the mourncrs, who had followed the rioters.
He fled amid q shower of missiles and he as
well as his paramour, were driven out OF tho
the town. Both were lucky to escape greater
harm.
The wrath of the villagers being appessed,
order was soon restored, and the interrupted
funeral rites we're decorously completed. IL
is declared that if the exed couple ventura
| to return 10 the place proceedings will be
| taken to bring them to trial on charge Of
conspiracy.

at the various gold exporting houses shows
that at the present rates Of exchange the eX-

that as all this gold goes either direct to Ger

an enormous reservoir Of water l2O feet
below the surface has been discovered at El
Golea, small caravan station in the midst
Of the Sahara desert The reservoir was
discovered while number of workmen were
en- gagged in sinking well at FL Golea. Tho
shaft sunk already gives forty gallons Of
good, clear water per minute and it is ex-
pected that this amount can readily be in-
creased should it be found that a largep
quantity is necessary.
The discovery is Of the highest importance

view Of trade says;
IT cannot be said that the busnc the
country is expanding when there Is de-
crease of nearly oue-sixth within sin gle
month in the output of pig iron. In nearly
all quarters the admitted slackening x oftrade
is attributed TO merely temporary causes, but
the state of the iron trade cannot be thus cX-
planned, and while it may at any time change
for the better it is at present an uufavorblo
symptom. At Detroit charcoal iron is of.
fered at SIS, the lowest price ever
known. 1t is a hopeful feature, on
the other hand that stocks unsold have
decreased during the month more than
one-Quarter, both Of anthracite and coke iron
at furnaces. But the trade is very dull, and
at some southern furnaces is weakening as to
price The market for manufactured forms
of iron and steel shows no improvement. 1t
is said that the orders for rails placed this
year do not reach 400, 900 tons. Another Gle
ment which may prove of great, though ten.
porary, Importance is the decision OF great
body of miners to strike May for eight
hours day.
The eastern coal trade is very irregular.
Buyers are awaiting the effects Of the Coke
interstate decision
Other Industries show no material change,
though the wool market is more dull The
boot and shoe trade is uncommonly dull with
prices tending rather downward. The sales
of half a million pounds of lake copper at
1895 cents are reported. Lead is weaker, but
tin has been advanced by speculation
The outlook for the bdilding trade is gen
orally favorable, though labor troubles in
some localities are still threatened. Reports
from the various CenterS of trade are about
the same as last week. put recognize the
temporary slaCkening oven more generally,
while IL Is attributed mainly to bad weather
and the state of country roads Pitts burg
reports lower prices for iron products, but
glass prices are sustained with improving
trade.
AT Cleveland the general trade is fairly
active, in lumber especially. At Cincinnati
machinery is very brisk but other trade is
only fair At Chicago wheat, dressed beef
and wool show a considerable increase over
last year, but the sales of dry goods fall
below those of last year, the first adverse re-
port in that trade for many months. The
clothing and shoe trade still show gains.
Business at Detroit is dull, at Milwaukee and
Kansas City only fair, and st. Louis not
very strong, but at St. Paul the spring trade
has been very satisfactory, and at Omaha
and Denver fair. AT New Orleans trade Is
quiet. At Memphis caution rules, but at
Savannah the prospect is bright, and there is
an Improvement at Jacksonville.
Speculation in breadstuffs halts, though
wheat is fraction higher. Corn is "a cents
