STARVED TO DEATH.
The Pitiable Condition of an old Woman
 in Boston.

in Boston.
 BOSTON, MASS Oct. 10.-The Sal vation Army missionary yesterday brought to light one of the worst cases of Restitution ever known in this city. She visited a house at No. 16 Cove Place, occupied by several poor families, and in room on the third floor found Mrs. Mary Kingston, 65 years old, in a terri bly, emaciated condition, while her body was disfigured by the bites of tEe vermin with which the room swarmed.

She is believed to have one son living, but his whereabouts are unknown.

TeRRoRlTE AND CIVILIZATION.

 Tho Prep arations of the United States for
 War Attracts Considerable Attention.
 So far as Terrorite can be utilized in .shattering rocks and tearing up the mountains and compelling them to yield mp their hidden treasures for the nse of men we give it a hearty welcome; but the genius of humanity can scarcely rejoice over it when con- templated as an instrument for the destruction of human life. And, without meaning any disrespect to the people of the United States, who are only following in the footsteps of the older nations, we can not but look upon the ex- haus.ion of what are sometimes euphemisiically called "the resources of civilization" in the production of such terribly destructive agents as a terrible satire on our boasted civiliza- ton.
 And that there should be just as much activity displayed Tn the New World, where the necessity of war can only De regarded as among the remote possibilities, as in the Old World, where feuds that have de- scended to the present generation from barbaric times have turned the nations into so many hostile camps is certainly one of the saddest pressages of the future. The warlike prepara tions of the United States, whether they are on 80 extensive a scale or not as those of Germany and France, occupy quite as much, if not more, space in the public ind.-Toronto Empire.

Double Hanging.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 9.-A tele- gram from Rusk, Tex, to the Asso- ciated Press says: John and Wade Felden suffered the extreme penalty of the law here at pm. to-day. The condemned men arose early, and after breakfasting their spir- itual advisers were admitted to the cells, and greater part of the time was consumed by prayer. They walked to the gallows with unfaltering steps, and, while standing on the trap, both said they were confident of forgiveness. They were pronounced dead at 1:10 p. m.
 The crime for which these two negroes were hanged, was the killing on the night of August 17 last, of Vance Thompson, while he was asleep in bed with Mack Beasly. The negroes claim they only intended to frighten Beasly.

Boston Sarcasm.

The conductor had collected his fares and returned to bis station up on the rear platform, when one oI the passengers left bis seat and took another nearer the front.
 The conductor meanwhile was presumably on the lookout for passengers, and when his gaze re. verted to the car he saw, as he thought, new man in one of the onward seats. He proceeded at once to col lect the fare, and tapped the gentle man courteously on the shoulder.
 "This is cent piece, said the official.

THE BLACK CABINET.
Hsppolyte's Ministers Resign Because o
q Vote of Csnsure.


Vote of Csnsure.
PoRT Au PRINCE, Aug. ia noisy and
turbulent session of the chamber of depu-
ties yesterday closed with vote of censure
against the members of Hippolyte's cabi-
net, and was followed by the ministers
handing their designations to the president.
For while it was feared there would be
bloodshed between the friends and oppo-
nents Of the cabinet, 80 heated was the dis
cussion, but comparative quiet soon pre-
vailed. 1t is now asserted that the cabi-
nets resignation WAS owing to the failure
OF the chamber of deputies to grant con-
cession for the construction of a telegraph
line. The cabinet has made this govern
lnent question and the deputies rejected
the proposition by y large majority and
they at once resigned. Hippolyte has not
yet decided whom he will select for the va
cant places. He does not think the resig.
nations will have much political effect. The
downfall of the cabinet has been the prin.
cipal topic of conversation in political cir
cles and much curiosity is manifested with
reference to the composition of the new
ministry. AS regards the reports that the
cabinet resignation would result in another
civil war, if the diseffected element has
any notion of taking advantage of the pres
ent crisis it is working so secretly that
nothing appears on the surface.
