C0RTE NOT RECALLED.
The New Orleans Consul Gives his
Version Of the Action at Rome,

Signor Corte, the italian consul at
New Orleans, said that he was not re-
called but only summoned home to
give testimony in regard to the affair
of March Is. He knew of no reason
why he should be recalled, and asked
If it was because he had had the cour-
age to express an opinion upon matters
vital to the dearest sentiments of his
countrymen. Mr.. Corte, continuing,
said that he had saved Mayor Shakes
peare's life and the lives of Messrs.
Parkerson, Wickliffc and other leaders.
The day after the killing there was "A
determined resolution among certain
of his countrymen to kill the mayor
and all those who had hand in the
butchery. Mr.. Corte said he restrained
their hands, and told them if harm
befell the gentlemen he would immedi-
ately denounce the perpetrators of the
deed. This the consul believed an
amicable understanding in regard TO
the imbroglio was near at hand. He
was not surprised at the action of the
grand jury in returning his letter and
said he could expect nothing more
from the jury whose chairman, az
president of the cotton exchange. en-
dorsed the killing. Relative to his de-
parture for Italy Mr.. Corte could not
leave until he had heard from Mr..
Pomona.

A THiEVINi DUKE.

Embczzics Money and Disappears
Duke AlphonSe DethieTy OF France,
for five years past bookkcaper of the
Conrad Tanning Company, has left
Louisville, Ky, several thousand dol
lars short in his accounts with the
tanning company. His work has been
very acceptable, his life quiet and no
suspicion attached to him till week
ago. when President Conrad OF the
company observed suspicious entry
in the books. An investigation showed
that Dethierry had unlawfully taken
81 800 of the firms money. When
charged with the theft, Dethierry con-
fessed and upon promise OF exemption
from prosecution began to go over the
books and tell how he had accom-
plished the theft. While so occupied
he became alarmed lest he should be
sent to the penitentiary and suddenly
left the city with his family. He used
false entries and forged checks TO con-
ceal his stealings. Dethierry claimed
TO belong to the noble French family of
that name.

from prominent men, TO the question,
Why ! am u Protcctionistp Tho first
answer was Ivy Hon, Justin 5. Morrill,,
United Statos senator from Vermont
and chairman Of the senate committee
on finance. IL IL so brief, direct and
comprehensive that IL IL worthy OF

First--lt brings together diversified
industries which never fail to increase
tho personal intelligence, industry and

power OF increasing, by machinery and
steam and waterpowor, the necessarios
Of life and OF advanced civilization, and

sistcncl.

WORK OF HO0DLUMS.
Circus Attacked, Panic Ensues
Many People Hurt.

Allen Lynch opened 10-cent circus
in II tent in the Seventeenth ward at
Pittsburg. A crowd of hoodlums at
tempted to force an entrance to the
tent. They were resisted by the cir
Gus employees and driven away by the
police. Later they returned about 100
strong, slitted the canvas and cut the
guy ropes. Bricks, cobble stones and
clubs were hurled through the canvass
and painfully injured "A number of peo-
pie. The audience became panic
stricken and made q rush for the eX-
its. The canvas collapsed and caught
fire from the gasoline lights on the
center pole. The people became fran
tic in their efforts to escape, and many
were severely trampled upon. The
people fought their way out just in
time to escape from the rapidly burn
ing canvas. The mob outside ran
away, but number of them were ar
rested later. Probably twenty people
were painfully hurt. Two ofthe hood
lums received such a beating that they
will probably die.

POLITICAL READING.
Mills Denounced by Farmers

Roger @. Mills is known to be u
great fraud and tho free trade ideas no
advocates are oven greater frauds than
he himself, For n long time the Texas
politician has been known TO be losing
ground. Each successive election has
seen his once largo majority cut down
by tho opposition. The fact is that tho
man who represents the free trado
and tariff reform IDEAS OF Cleveland
is not popular with the farmers OF his
state, They see nothing but ruin for
themselves in tho policy advocated
by Mr.. Mills. Tho Farmers Alliance
of Texas held its recent convention at
Waco. Among other resolutions passed
wero the following:
Resolved, That there have boon no
cheers in this body in connection with
tho name of Il. q, Mills, Ms has been
reported by tho pross Of tho state.
Resolved, That We view with UNI
reserved contempt tho mcagronoss Of
both the cause and effect OF tho seem
ing attempt upon the part OF the press
and the reporters to create political
boost up the ladder of political fortune
at the credit of this conference for that
gentleman.
This shows That Mills subsidized
FREQ trade papers have boon systemat-
ically docoiving tho public. The
object has beoa to keep tho public
impressed with the idea that Mills,
and with Mills, FREQ trade, have been
popular with tho agricultural classes
OF the south The fact is just the OPP
posite. Free trade isn't popular with
the farmers in tho South any moro
than il is in the West Iowa State

When Sentenced to the Peni-
Tertiary.

Judge Hlndman at Marshalltown,

months in the penitentiary for burn
ing his house in March, as alleged, to

good place to fall, fiourished his hand
kerchief around and keeled over across
the legs of the counsel in an apparent
fit He kicked and frothed around,
and was spasmodically affected all the
way to the Jail. The judge ordered
the insane commissioners to examine
him before the officers took him to the
pen. The commissioners decided that
Hildebrand is sane and he was taken
to the states prison.

Fine Looking Old Men.

One of the peculiarities of New York
is the number of well-groomed old
men. In the west, and in many other
eastern cities, the old men seem to get
careless about dress, about their beard,
about the length Of their hair. But in
New York you sec hundreds and thou
sands of old men who keep themselves
in perfect bodily condition. AT tho
intersection of Broadway and Fifth av-
enue this is particularly noticeable.
So it happens that the New York man
never grows old, but remains young
in complexion and dress, even though
the hair of his head and OF his we'll
trimmed beard be white.-New York

OH Ponds In the Gulf

Between the mouth OF the Mississippi
river and Galveston, Tex, 10 or 10
miles south of Sabine Pass, is II spot in
tho Gulf OF Mexico which is commonly
called THE Oil Ponds by the captains
OF the small crafts which ply in that
vicinity.
There is no land within 10 miles;
but, even In the widest weather, the
water Mt tins spot is comparatively
calm, owing to the thick covering OF
oil which apparently rises from the bed
OF the Gulf, which is here about ID To
l8 feet beneath the surface. This
strange refuge is well known to sailors
who run on the small vessels trading
between Calcasien, Orange, Sabine,
Beaumont and Galveston. When,
through stress OF weather, they fail to
make harbor elsewhere, they run for

DEBTS OF THE WORLD.
The Census Bureau Issues "a Bulletin
on the Subject.

The census bureau has issued Il
bulletin upon the debts q the world.
AS far rs can be obtained the debt Of
foreign nations in 1890 less sinking
fund is $3.50, CSC, O76, 900, an increase
over 1880 Of 500, l54, 1873, 655. The
debt of the Unitod States for the Same
time shows decrease Of 81, 007 40, =
0OO or more than half the amount Of
the debt in 1880. The decrease in
states and territories for 10 years to
1890, $67, PIG, 900. In the same peri
cd the debt Of counties increased Sl7,-
$40, 900. Relatively the burden Of
debt falls far heavier upon the inhabi-
tants Of the principal foreign countries
those in this country. While indiviiu-
al fluctuations in amounts of indebted
ness for the seyenty-nine foreign na-
tons reported has been considerable
during tho decade, the aggregated in
debtcdncss shows relatively but little
change, especially If compared with
the increase of population. Aggrcgn-
ting national state and county indebt-
cdness per capita shows u deer ea3c
from $40 80 in 1880 10 $40. 40 in 1890.
The aggregate surplus receipts Of an
other decade like the one just past
would relieve the country from nearly
all national, state and county indebted
ness could they be distributed for that
purpose.

possible results for the laborers and
