Los ANGELES, Cal, April l6.-Bur-
bank, a little village near here. is eI .ited
over the elopement, Saturday evening, Of
Miss Mary Carhart, a young heiress, who
fed with the handsome German foreman
OF her mothers ranch. The Carharts
came from White Plains, n. Y, and last
winter Mrs. Carhart and her daughter
lived on a 5OO-acre ranch, which had been
purchased by her foreman, Otto II. Kies.
Itch. She brought much fine stock, pur-
chased at the recent Rose sale in New
York. The family had costly furniture.
and their fortune was said to be 5000
900. Miss Mary, the eldest child, soon
showed great tOndncss for the handsome
young German foreman, but though the
neighbOrs gOssiped, the mother did not
learn of it till Saturday, when she dis.
charged Kieslicn. He persuaded the girl
to elope. and selecting the fastest trotter
10 the stable they we're soon on the road.
They would have had "a fine start,
but a ranch hand met them and
tried to stop Kieslich. but the
latter drew a pistol and was allowed to
pass. He brought the news to the mother,
and ten minutes afterwards she was in
chase with the second best horse in the
stable. So close was the chase that the
pursuers had to swallow the dust raised
by the lovers. The proverbial stern chase
proved a long one, and when this city was
reached Miss Carhart and her lover
turned into a side street and disappeared.
Mrs. Carhart came up town and called on
the police for help, but all search proved
fruItless, aud to all intents and purposes
the earth has swallowed up the clippers.
No trace of them could be found today.
Mrs. Carhart il now s%nEiously awaiting
word from her daughter. 1t is said that
within a few days, Miss Carhart, who
will then be Is years OF age, will be
possessed OF over 500, 900 in her own
right. so the young German has not
made a bad match from a financial stand

God Effect of the Inspection Law.
WASHINGTON. April l6-Secretary
Rusk's absence will not delay the work
ings of the meat inspection laws, which
are already giving great promise Of al in.
creased market for the United States.
Since the first law was passed in August,
1890, its beneficial effects are seen in the
increased expectation of live cattle and
dressed beef. In the three months ended
March 81, 1891, the number of live cattle
exported to Europe from the United
States were IS, 1872, against 70 900 in the
corresponding period OF 1890. OF the
former number 50, 235 were sent to Great
Britain, an increase of IL $50 head; 2,24S
were shipped to Germany, an increase of
1852 head; sos to Belgium, an increase
of A. head, and l34 to France. In the
nine months ended March 81, 1891, the
total number of cattle shipped to the
countries named was POI, 7S4; the total
number for the corresponding period end
ing March 81, 1890, was 253. los, show
ing an increase for three fourths OF a year
of 44.6I6 head, or more than III per
cent.
The increased expectation Is one OF the
factors in the advance OF the price OF live
cattle within the last few months, which
has averaged nearly one n one-hslf
cents per pound. One of the beneficial
results of the work done by the depart
ment of agriculture IS the reduction of
the rates of insurance on export cattle.
Measures taken by the department to
prevent the shipment OF diseased cattle
have resulted in a reduction of insurance
rates to % to 3 per cent, an average re-
ductiOn of about E per cent, or about 81. 30
per head. DR.. Salmon said today that
pleuro- pneumonia among cattle IN the
United States had virtually disappeared.
The farmers of Scotland and the North Of
England arc clamorous for the admission
| of American store cattle. because they
are now virtually compelled to pay much
higher prices for Irish cattle, amonl
which pleuro- pneumonia is prevalent.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, April l6.-The
Winner Investment company. through
its president, William L. Winner, made
an assignment late this afternoon. No
schedule OF liabilities and assets was filed.
The company was capitalized for $780,
900 originally, but about a year ago the
capital was increased by a new issue Of
$500, 900 OF stock. The company has been
dealing in bonds and mortgages and other
securities, with branches in New York
and Boston, where the great bulk of the
securities were disposed OF. The company,
two years ago, purchased a large
tract OF land in the eastern por
ron of this city, sub-divided it
and built eighty houses upon it, The
property was mortgaged to buy the land
and construct the houses aud the mort
cages were disposed of in the East Some
OF the houses we're sold on long time pay
ments, while Others are stii on the
market. Mr.. Winner, when seen by a
representative of the Associated Press this
evening, said the assignment was not a
failure at all. The company had simply
decided to go out OF business. The
Boston office, he said, had been run
at a loss for some time aud the New York
Office had not been paying. The company
surrendered its charter in each state some
ten days ago. Beyond this Winner
declined to say anything.
Willard +. Winner was a meteor in
the financial sky OF the West. Ten years
ago he was actively engaged in cancelliuR
stampsin the postofice here. Today, besides
being the head ofthe Winner company, he
is president of the Winner Bridge com
panv, with a capitol stock Of 81 900, 900;
president of the Winner Depot company,
with a capital stock of 81 ,0OO, 900; presi-
dento of the Chicago, Kansas City & Texas
road, which has build twenty miles of
road from Kansas City IN the direction Of
Chicago. and is president of the Belt
Line Railroad company in this city, both
of the latter being heavily capitalized.
The bonds of these companies have been
placed by the Winner Investment com
panv, which assigned today. Winner
says the assignment will not affect any of
the companies outside OF the Investment

LONDON, April l6.-I never remember
a parliament in connection with which SO
many dreadful personal scandals have oc-
Cured as hat now sitting. Within 4 few
months We have had an exposure which
ruined Paruell; a minor member ct toe
ministry has escaped by the skin Of his
teeth, aud row warrants are out against
an Irish Conservative and an English
Liberal on charges of au infamous char
acter. What is England coming to?
Where are its morals gone? Fortunately
it is not necessary to condemn a nation
for the crimes of a few, but the Iucrcas-
ing number of great scandals reveals a
state of affairs which must inspire one
with very unpleasant reflections The
Irish Conservative is Edward de CObain,
a n%oneutty IN the house of commons.
where he was not often seen and bur little
known. lie Is one OF the EXTREMIST sect
of Orangemen, son of a Wesleyan minis
ter, was educated at Belfast mercantile
academy, aud was formerly grand master
Of the Orange institution OF Belfast. He
is now deputy grand master for Ireland.
He represents East Belfast in parliament,
but will never again be seen in the house
of commons. He is charged with one of
the most abomiuable crimes, and before
warrants were issued for his arrest
abundance OF evidence was obtained
proving hat he had carried on bis vile
practices over a long series of years. Re
m~emberIng that similar crimes were traced
some time ago to very influential circles
in Dublin, it is not surprising that the
Catholic aud Home Rule party are dis
posed to make the most ont of the new
exposure.
The Liberal member, Capt. Verncy, is
charged with having been guilty of a con.
spiracy to lure English girls to the CONT
nent for felonious purposes. He, too, has
disappeared from the house and is not
likely to be seen again. He IS a retired
captain in the royal navy, and served in
the Crimea and the Indian mutiny. He
is chairman of the quarter sessions. =
member of the London county council,
and in politics is a Gladstonean Home
Ruler. So far as the political balance
gees neither party can crow over the
other, but the disgracetul scandals cannot
fail to make a deep impression on the
public mind. De Cobain officially de-
scribes himself in the Parliamentary
Guide" as a man with strong democratic
sympalhies. The democracy will pres
emily show people of his description that
their sympathies arc not with members of
parliament who think they can set the
laws OF God and man at defiance without
suffering for it, and there will be an ex
plosion which nay tend to purify the AIR
and Improve the debased moral tone pre-
valent 10 many sections of English society,

ROME, April l6.-After the adjourn
ment of the chamber of deputies, IN As
ISOLATED Press correspondent called upon
the Marquis di Rudini and ASH ed him If
it was possible for him to give an opinion
for publication in regard to the reply of
the United States secretary of state. Mr.,
Blaine, to his marquis di Rudini'sl last
note on the subject of the New Orleans
lYnchinR. In reply, the Marquis dI Ru-
diui said, in substance. that the cabled
summaries OF Blaine's reply which had
been sent TO Rome, and which he had
seen in the public press of this city. were
too brief and otherwise Inadequate to en-
able him to form definite opinions, much
less give an opinion tor publication, even
if he felt justified 10 adopting the latter
course of action. The marquis ADDED that
he preferred not to say anything further
while waiting the receipt of the full text
of Blalne's reply, except that he was now
and had always been sincerely DESTROYS Of a
| friendly solution of the difficulties at pres
ent existing between the Italian govern
ment and the government of the United
States. Though the iull correspondence
given out in Washington yesterday was
telegraphed to London by Reuters Tele-
graph company and was published in the
English papers, only a was tele-
grsphed from London OF the full cores
p~ondence. This explains the above re-
marks of the Marquis di RudIni.

Hints for the Married.

The husband and wife should study each
others weak points, for the same reason
that skaters look out for air holes in the
ice, in order to keep clear of them. I'm
fortunately, however, they often use their
knowledge of such tender spots for a diff
ferent purpose; sparing no pains to give
them a rub on every possible occasion.
Hence domestic difficulties innumerable.
Women have immense power over men,
and they know it; but, alasl they do not
always exercise their influence wisely. The
wife and mother should be the primary orb
of the domestic system, the center of at
traction TO all the members of the family
group; for when wives are "repelient
bodies" away go husbands and fathers and
sons, flying off to seek elsewhere the peace
and pleasure denied them at home.
Men should remember that many of our
highest privileges are founded on com
promises and concessions. 1t is so in the
world political, and the policy that makes
nation prosperous and happy is not bad
as home policy. Therefore, o Benedict,
If thou wouldst acquire the right to ask a
friend to dinner without notice, neglect
not TO respond favorably when the partner
of thy joys and sorrows hints at a new bon
net or new dress.
1t is faithful saying that the "wife's
want is the husbands opportunity" and
the converse Of the proverb is equally true.
1t is one of the misfortunes of unregulated
families that both wife and husband insist
upon having the last word. Nothing can
be more fatal.-New York Weekly.

Are Women Cruel?

A woman is not usually supposed to be
cruel. Still, facts are against the assump-
ton that she is not. Her thumb was sure
to be down when the gladiator looked up
TO the tiers of the coliseum for the verdict
of the people; her shout was always fierce
when the mstador and the bull plowed on
the earth together.
1t Is more sentimental to speak of her
as gentle" but, enduring In pain, won
derfully restrained to trouble. IL is woman
and not man who shows the lasting power
after all. History has proved her pitiiess,
has proved her the originator Of many
crimes at which men would shrink, and as
able to look on at sights az which the
stronger sex would crInge; still it has been
said of man that he is selfish and hard, and
the verdict must stand.
The case which brought this 20 mind
was Of man who. On his deathbed, was
in spite Of the pleading OF his physicians,
deprived Of the soothing influences Of an

his full senses that he might recognize
her when he died. He had been IL FOR a
long time and was dying lingering death
OF terrible suffering All hope that he
could be helped was gone. Is vas the
question OF few hours. and the humane
doctors were in favor of easing these last
moments Of pain HIS wife refused. on
the selfish plea that he might die without
recognizing her st the last.-Boston Home
