tanned the following advertisement:
"A young lady, handsome brunette, 25
years of age and of lively disposition.
wishes to correspond with middle-aged,
wealthy gentleman, with a view to matri-
mony. Address b. T., Greenwood. Wis "
The lively disposition settled Maxwell;
he answered the advertisement. The
lively lady. who proved TO be Mrs Belle
TAYLOR, replied, and then she sent her
photograph and he his tin-type. Today
at the Union depot the attendant on the
ladies' waiting room observed a woman OF
uncertain age" sitting by herself in R
corner weeping. Look at that tin
type, she sobbed. ''How old would you
take that man to be?'
That mans about 30 years old l
should say" replied the attendant.

wretched old fraud. TN out my fare

Mr.. Maxwell in the gentleman's waiting

SAN Francisco, Dec, 26.-Jack Bar
nett, manager for Sullivan, said today
that the telegram from New York stating
that Arthur Lumley, representing Sulli-
van, met Frank Slavin, and arranged to
sign articles for a fight to a finish, in fif-
teen We. ks, between Sullivan and Slavlu,
Gu not possibly be true. Suiiivan's en-
gagemont to play with Duocan B. Harn-
son will not expire until June 5, 1892,
and he cannot even prepare for a fight IN
til after the expiration OF the engage
ment.
Il was in New York this fall" said
Barnett, and posted 81, 500 for Sullivan
to fight Slsvin in September next, about
ten weeks after his theatrical engagement
expires. That was before any arrange
ment was made for Slavin to fight Jack
son. That money is still up and will re
main so until Jan. l. as announced at the
time it was put up | have not heard
that Slavin GOV red it He seems now to
be PLAYING a bluff, knowing that Sullivan
cannot fight while he is under contract to
play. Arthur Lumley has no authority
to act for Sullivan. Charles johnson of
Brooklyn is Sullivan's only representative

ANNA oIckINsoN's STORY
fer Sister Prostrated Over the Charges
 What the Doceays Say.

PrrrsToN, Pa., April 11--Dr. Hileman says that there is nothing in the story about Anna Dickinson's prosecutions. While appearing otherw ise rational, her mental trouble took this form from the beginning.
 Miss Susan E. Dickinson is prostrated over the reports published as emanating from her sister and refiecting seriously upon her, She will say nothing in ex- tended denial except that her sister is ir- responsible for the statements and is un- doubtedly insane.
 In this community, where their rela- tions have been understood for years past, it is unnecessary to say that Miss Annals charges emanate from an unsound mind.
 Dr. Wetherill, of the State Board of Charities, said that it was preposterous to say that there was anything irregular in the commitment of Anna Dickinson to an insane asylum. The doctor says he visited Miss Dickinson at the Dansville Asylum, and that there is no doubt what ever aDout her insanity.

 ,f Feeling in Rome-Italy Is Rushing
 Work on Four First-CIass Cruisers.
 ROME, April l.-It is reported that, if the United States government does not answer the Marquis Imperiali's note by Monday, MT. Porter, the American Minis ister here, will be ordered to leave Italy, and the whole Italian Legation in Wash ington will be recalled, and Italian inter- ests will be left in charge of the British Minister.
 The Rudini Cabinet is deeply hurt by American comment on the Italian diffi- culty, and there is consequently a revul- sion of feeling in favor of aggressive measures. It is said that King Humbert has received from the editor of an rr5EiSfizsa newspaper in America papers containing pictures ridiculing His Majesty, and be- littling the power and dignity of Italy. One picture in particular. representing the King as a monkey, gave great offense.
 Italian blood is again boiling, and something startling is expected within lew days.
 Notwithstanding the enormous deficit in the Italian Treasury and the murmur- ing of the taxpayers against the heavy burden they are already compelled to bear, the Italian government has begun the construction of four first class cruis- CTS, work upon which will be pushed to completion with all possible expedition.

No Credit Given to the Sensational Reports
 from Italy.
 WASHINGTON, April 11.-Secretary of State Blaine was shown the Rome and London cable disaptches reporting revul- sion of feeling in Italy in favor of ag gressive measures toward the United States and a determination on the part of the Italian government to order United States Minister Porter to leave Italy and to recall the remnant of the Italian Le- gation now at Washington. The Secre- tary read the dispatches carefully and simply remarked:
 Not a word relating to all these re- ports has reached the department. No credit is given to the rumors They seem to be sensational"
 Beyond this Secretary Blaine would have nothing to say about the Italian imbroglio.
 MT. Blaine was asked by note if hissre- ply to the latest communication of the Italian government had been transmitted to Rome, or when it would be sent, but he declined to answer.
 President Harrison said in response to an inquiry that he had heard nothing save the press dispatch. Private Secre- tary Halford said the President had heard from MT. Blaine that the State De- partment had no information on the sub ject Assistant Secretary Wharton and Chief Clerk Brown were in dense igno- rance of Italy's reported belligerent

 Strung Up.
 KENYON, Ohio, April 11.-William Bates who murdered Policeman Harper Tuesday night of last week, was taken from the jail by a mob of about fifty strong at two o'clock a. m. and hung to a maple tree near by.
 The mob gained entrance to the jail by breaking the door down, which awakened Sheriff Neville, who rushed down stairs with pistol.
 dozen men met him at the foot of the stairs and thrusting four revolvers in his face, demanding the jail keys, saying that they wanted to get Bates and hang him.
 The Sheriff refused to get the keys, not having them with him.
 They found the keys in an adjoining room, and opening the jail doors got Bates, aud gave him only time to put on his pants and pair of slippers.
 The mob then took him out and hung him to maple tree on Wayne street near North street, about fifty yards from the jail.
 The mob was we'll organized, all wore black masks. except one which was white, apparently the leader.
 The work was quickly and systemati- cally done. Not more than twenty min. utes elapsed from the time the door was broken open until Bates was dangling between earth and sky.

Canadians GuIling Americans.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Canadians are engaged in the business of gulling Amer jeans in the matter of pure bred horses, if the collector at Port Huron, Mich, is correct in his surmises. He writes to the Treasury Department that he has spent a good deal of time in the investigation of Canadian registries of purported thor oughbred animals and has always found them unreliable. They do not, he says, guarantee that purity of breed that simi- lar books in Europe and this country do, and, more than this, he says they are evidently compiled for the purpose of making a market among unsuspecting Americans for inferior animals.
