An Abandoned Woman in Berlin
Murdered and Her Body
Mutilated.
The Murderer is Holly Pursued,
but Manages to Make His
. Escape.
Bismarck Will Not be a Regular At
tendant at the Reichstag-For-
eign News.

BERLIN, Oct. 26.-The body of a
woman. well known in the haunts of
dissipation, was found lying on the floor
of her room Saturday night frightfully
mutilated. The police have offered 800
marks for the detection of her murder
or. It is believed in the police circles
that the woman was a victim of Jack
the Ripper, of Whitechapel fame.
Portions of the body of the murdered
woman were carried away by the muir
derer. The victim was seen to enter
the house with a stranger about 2
o'clock a. m. and shortly afterwards the
man was seen to go away. Fifteen min
utes later the woman was found dead,
lying on the floor dressed, even to the
matter of gloves.
The body of the woman was nearly
severed, and was ripped from the neck
down. It seems that another woman
tried to enter the room before the awful
crime was committed. Her attempt
disturbed the a%ssailant, who rushed out,
pushing aside several who were in his
way. The inmates of the house were
awakened by the screams, and the un-
known was hotly pursued, but he es
capped.

Yankee flavor is strong in them all. |
apologize in advance, if ! lave told before
the tale of the old gentleman who had a
proclivity for going off for long walks and
losing himself. to the great discomfort of
the entire village, which had to turn out
periodically with horns and lanterns to
hunt him up. At last some one had the
brilliant thought of presenting him with
a compass and impressing upon him that
he had only to keep in mind that it always
pointed north, to get home in safety.
A few days afterward, the old gentleman
was again reported rs missing. Some
where about midnight they discovered him
sitting on a fallen tree, industriously pok.
ing over his compass with his jackknife.
When questioned as to what he was doing,
he said he was trying to make the thing
point north!" There is a moral in this tale
for the would be reformers of eternal facts.

Tile Very Worst Smell.

An odor has been found so frightful that
the discoveries have been obliged to aban-
don its preparation. NM Bauman and
Fromm, in experimenting at Freiburg, in
Brisgau, upon the organic sulphur derivac
tives, caused hydrogen sulphide to act
upon a%cetone, and obtained besides trithio-
acetone small quantities of a definite COM
pound nonvolatile and crystalline, Chs
HIS 81. At the same time there is found
a very volatile body, having such a horri-
BILE odor that ethylmercaptan, etylenemer-
captain and the other volatile sulphur COM
pounds are perfumes compared with it.
The discoveries have not been able to
obtain this compound in Il pure state, but
they do not doubt that it is monosulphur-
cited acetine C5 H6 S. AS they were one
day distilling the product of the reaction
of 100 grams of acetone with hydrochloric
acid and hydrogen sulphide, with a very
perfect arrangement for its condensation,
and avoiding a sensible loss of the products
of the reaction, the atmosphere of the
whole surrounding district of the city was
contaminated within a radius of 700 me-
tiers.
Every effort to obtain this substance in a
pure state raised such a tempest of protes-
tations and complaints against the labora-
tory that the eXperimenters We're obliged
to discontinue their researches Pharma-
ceutical Era.

Sending Copy" Cheaply.


It is now possible, as most people know,
one wishes to make a compromise between
dispatching Il telegram and forwarding a
letter by the usual means. The same ad-
vantage has been enjoyed by newspapers,
SO far as copy" is concerned, for many
years. Old journalists can remember the
time when t~elegraphing was so expensive
and so uncertain that most of the news
which appeared in the London press was
received by train. In those days subedi-
tors had only to wait for the last train, ar
irving soon after midnight, and they knew
what they had to deal with. Now all that
is changed. The London press at the
present time receives nearly all it's provin-
cial news by telegraph inc a good deal of
copy" arrives in the small hours of the
morning.
Provincial newspapers, however, big and
little, still make great use of the railway
system for the transmission of news. Al
most every express which starts from Lon
don between midday and evening carries q
number of packages from the news agen-
cies containing reports of markets, trials,
Stock exchange Information, and so forth.
Many of these reports are incomplete.
Part of a trial will, for example, be sent
by a train starting long before it is over,
and the remainder by telegraph. These
parcels also contain little instructions for
the subeditor or the printers which can
not be dispatched over wire at the press
message rate of 100 words for one shilling.
Sometimes leading articles and paragraphs
of London Letters are sent in the same
way.-London Tit-Bits.

Getting Caught in n Lie,

A question which the etiquette books
should settle is the proper behavior on be-
ing caught in a lie. This would interest
persons of both sexes. 1t is the custom of
one woman to play a brave hand on such
occasions.
"Tve found out that lie you told about
me-" said an irate person to her one day.
"Have you? Really!' she promptly an
swered. (Which one?"
This is sure to stagger, but it takes nerve
to do it. Another persona man this
time-had all acquaintance rush in upon
him one day like a cyclone. Look here,
you rascal, you," he shouted, you've been
lying about mel"
"Then thank your lucky stars, man,
that l haven't told the truth about you,"
answered the other coolly. New York

EVADING THE POSTAL LAW.

The Newspaper a Common Devise to De-
fraud the Postal Revenues.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Perhaps the
most common device for defrauding the
postal and customs revenues of this and
other countries is the enclosirgs of pro-
shibited articles with printed matter.
Although a great variety of articles
thus committed to the mails reaches the
dead letter Office, few are of such a
character or Value as to suggest a spec
5ulative purpose beyond the saving in
passage. For the most part they are
evidently intended as gifts, the testi-
monials of affection existing between
families and friends widely scattered
but which cannot be transmitted in the
mails by the postal union in countries
except at the letter rates, but which can
only be sent under certain conditions in
the domestic mails. Gloves, ribbons,
small pieces Of silk, children's shoes,
generally of modest value, needlework,
infants garments, toys and stockings
are largely among the things found in
newspapers, often accompanied by
written communications, which, while
not disclosing the identity of sender,
clearly indicate a purpose to evade the
law. The great uncertainty of success
and the equally great probability that
the receipt Of this class of matter at the
dead letter Office, if of domestic origin,
insures its ultimate condemnation to the
auction room are evidently not clearly
understood by it's would-be friends.

CRIES OF
Twenty Millions of People without Food
in Russia.

Twenty Millions of People Without Food
in Russia.
2 LONDON, Oct. 26.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent Of The Standard says that
the approach of frost has caused a re-
newal of the cries of distress. The No.
vesti estimates that 20, 600, QUO people are
without food. Statistics prove conclu-
sively that in many places spectators
get exorbitant prices. A Samara paper
declares that Jews are angels compared
with the koolaks, who are in the habit
of reducing those in their power
to the lowest stage Of poverty.
Incidents showing the terrible distress
of the people continue to be recorded.
A poor woman Of Ratchino, on return
ing home from a neighboring village,
whittier she had gone to try to purchase
food, found all her children dead, and a
post norton examination being made,
their stomachs were found filled with
rags and earth. Many villages are COM
pletely deserted in the district of Perm.
One-half of the population of Reazan has
died of hunger or disease.
Destroying Confidence in England's Navy.
LONDON, Oct. ga sixty-seven ton
gun on board the armored vessel Howe,
has developed a defect in her inner tube,
similar to that recently found in one of
the big guns of the ironclad Arson, the
flagship of the channel squadron. The
admiralty is greatly exercised over the
repeated discoveries of defects in British
guns. The incident also causes intense
uneasiness generally, and will go far to
destroy all confidence in the worth of
the naval armament. The original cost
of the gun in question was els, 900.

What an %Inveterate Smoker Says.

George Augustus Sala is a constant
smoker. But though he has bowed before
the shrine for fully half a century he does
not bear a true and loyal heart.
"Had | my life to live over again. said
he, II would never touch tobacco in any
shape or form"
1t is true he does not indorse the allega.
ton that smoking stupefies Il mans facul
ties or blunts his energies. He acknowl
edges that the greatest workers and think:
ers of modern times have been inveterate
smokers. But he holds it idle to deny that
smoking to excess weakens the eyesight,
impairs the digestion, plays havoc with
the nerves and interferes with the action
of the eart.-New York Sun.

Bismarck to Attend the R%eichstag When
Subjects of Importance are Presented.
BERLIN, Oct. 26.-It is stated on the
authority Of an intimate friend of Bis
marck that he will in all possibility not
be a regular attendant at the coming
session of the reichstag, but will only be
present when subjects which he consid-
ers of vital Importance are presented for
discussion. He is also opposed to any
policy which relaxes the protection
heretofore given to the industrial and
agricultural interests of the empire.
When these subjects come up, he will
undoubtedly be heard, but it is not be-
lieved that he will go out of his way to
criticise the reichstag's personal course,
however much he may antagonize
features.

He is portly, but very erect,
And always-to somewhat digress,
Artistic and quite circumspect,
When It comes to a question of dress:
A lover of whist and Of chess
And a little disposed to be gay,
Yet l pity him, nevertheless
The old bachelor over the way.
For l know when his life l dissect
There is lack of the wifely caress.
No children around him collect,
His home coming nightlyto bless:
And to scan him again l confess
He's a trifle inclined to be gray,
In spite Of his social success
The old bachelor over the way.
And | feel my surmise is correct,
When l look at him closely and guess
That when he takes time to reflect,
He misses the true happiness;
For the lack of q home will depress,
And his boyhood was happy they say,
fancy that dreams must Cypress
The old bachelor over the way.
What! married? this morning, no less,
For who shall King Cupid g~ainsay?
Well, we'll, he is in for distress

HUNTING THE KANGAROO.
Disabled by Laughter at the Luhcrou,
Anima the Hunter Missed.

The rest of the herd Immediately
made off in our direction, but, instead
of scattering pell-mell as other wild
animals would have done under like
circumstances, these queer denizens Of
a queer country fell into line and de-
parted in regular Indian file, the big
old doe leading the way and the small
est dimlnutive pickaninnies bringing
up the rear, writes Birge Harrison in
Scribner's. The doe covered the
ground with tremendous leisurely
hops, holding her forepaws before her
in mincing way that was very CON-
ical The smaller animals-each an
exact though diminutive, counterpart
OF the leader-followed in gradually
Diminishing perspective. every little

at the end OF the line were blurred like

The effect Of this extraordinary pro-
cesslon was. to my unaccustomed
eyes, so altogether ludicrous and
absurd, that nearly lost my shot in
an uncomfortable burst OF laughter.
As it was. l might just as we'll have
had my laugh out to the end. for al
though let the old doe have both
barrels full in the flank as she passed
me at twenty yards distance, she
never faltered in her course. and had
quite disappeared in the scrub, with
all her numerous progeny at her heels,

cartridges The No. 8 shot in all
probability, had little more effect upon
her tough hide than so many grains OF
sand. Nevertheless. it might perhaps
have brought her down if l had aimed
at the head. for one pellet penetrating
the brain through the eye would have
been sufficient. But the motion was
so eccentric and perplexing that this
would have been a very risky shot.
and preferred the chance of stunning
her by direct double charge full in
the body to the almost absolute GER
tainty of missing her altogether by
attempting the more difficult shot.
