Another minister has left his denomina-
ton because the right to vote was virtually
denied him, he claims. Such restrictions
are too narrow for him. No reasonable per-
son can blame him. Voting is certainly
not an offense against high heaven. Not
many divines of the Reformed Presby-
terrain church are brighter than the Rev.
DIR. E. M. Smith, and few ministers in
Baltimore have been more popular. But
he is not willing to relinquish his inherent
rights as an American citizen, and he's
right.

Talk about "skinning" people, but there is
a man in Kansas City who did actually skin
about 1000 Of his friends to better his own
condition. 1t was because he had been SO
badly scalded that all the skin peeled off
both his legs. and his brethren in the Odd
Fellows and Knights of Pythias contributed
each small portion Of cuticle which was
grated on until he was made whole again.
But both orders have frequently been figur-
atively skinned much worse than that. Still
it was skillful surgery.

have decided that they will not press the
amendments offered yesterday to the
pension appropriation bill by Senator
Stewart in the shape of a free coinage
provision.
The reason for this decision is the fear
that sentimental considerations may
cause the loss of votes in cases where
senators and representatives have strong
soldier constituency. 1t is probable an
effort will be made to attach free coin
age rider to some other general appropri-
alton bill where the same factors would
not enter into the matter.

A HEROIC GIRL.
She Bravely Submits to Torture to
Benefit a Friend.


New York, Feb. 3.-A remarkable
case of friendship was exhibited at
Bellevue hospital by girl of IS, named
Della Eagan, who is willing to be SCARED
for life in the attempt to restore to
health her friend, Minnie E. Wilcke.
The latter was, about Christmas, caught
in the betting of laundry, of which her
husband is proprietor. She had head
of long, luxuriant hair, and the betting
glued her to the ceiling by her tresses.
For few seconds she hung there and
then dropped to the floor. She had been
scalped completely. Everything was
done to adjust the torn flesh without
and the whole scalp had withered. BY
January 10 Mrs. WilBe was completely
recovered otherwise, but her head was
one big sore. Her husband offered to
give flesh from his own body for grating.
Preparations were made for the opera
tion last Wednesday, but by that time
the husband was so broken down in
health by constant watching at his wife's
bedside that the doctor refused to take
him as a subject. Then it was that
Della Eagan came to the rescue. The
doctor placed her under the influence of
ether, barred her limbs, and cut strip
of skin a foot long and nearly three
inches wide from each of them. The two
strips of skin that were taken from Della
were then adroitly adjusted to the flesh
less head of Minnie. The surgeons glued
one of them into the front of the skull
and down on the side, and the other
they neatly affixed to the Uranium just
above it. Once more Mrs. Wilcke was
swathed in bandages, and the slow, ted
ious healing process was begun. Today
Della was told that more skin would be
needed to cover her friends skull, and
she said she might as well spare some
more. 81 hope, though" she said
''the doctors will take the rest off my
back somewhere. 1 can sleep on my
face, and the sores won't hurt so much
| then. y

LONG FIGHT EXPECTED.
Argument in the Davis VIII Case Soon
to be Commenced.

HELENA, Feb. 3.-Argument on the
writ of prohibition and writof mandam-
us in the Davis estate case will be
heard in the supreme court i'll the morn
ing. The alleged Davis will was called
up for probate in the district court of
Silver Bow county yesterday, when con-
testing heirs applied to the su preme court
for the writs which were issued and
made returnable tomorrow. H. A. Root,
nephew of the deceased millionaire, who
represents the heirs who a.'e endeavor-
ing to prove the iowa will of 1866 a for
gerry, made affidavit to the effect that the
will is forged instrument, and was
never executed by A. ]. Davis; that t:.e
jury is illegally drawn; that jurors III
attendance are biased. He makes the
further strong assertion that the Judge of
the district court OF Silver Bow county is
prejudiced against the interests of the
contestants. Another affidavit filed for
that three hundred names were not
drawn by jury commission as provided
by law. Colonel r. G.. Ingersoll is in the
city, being retained as counsel for con-
testants H. A. Root and others. Judge
Trimble, of Iowa, Judge Woolworth, of
Omaha, and Congressman Dixon, of this
state, Will defend the interests of John
A. Davis, who is named as sole legatee
in the will. The fight will be long and
bitter one, and it will be long time be-
fore any of the heirs to this vast estate
receive any portion of it.

Inhuman Conduct of Chinese Near
Burning Steamer.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 4.-By the
steamer Gaelic, which arrived this eve
ming from Hong Kong and Yokohama, it
is learned that at the court of inquiry
into the loss of the steamer Shanghai,
reported in these dispatches last Thurs
day night, the chief engineer in his testi-
mony stated that at the time of the fire
number of native craft were in sight, but
rendered no assistan ce. Men in boats
dragged some of the passengers off the
paddle wheels to which they had fioated,
robbed them of all they had, and then
dropped them into the water. There
was Chinese steam launch flying the
imperial flag and gunboat under sail, but
neither of them offered assistance to the
drowning people or those still on the
burning ship. The court found that
Captain Martin, his officers and the crew
made every possible effort to save the
passengers, and that no blame was at
tributable to them
