In a popular down town store a lady
upon whom suspicion had been resting
for some time vas n day called to ac-
count for her ca elessuess. The proprie-
tor walked up - her and relieved the
dlstresssi attendant by saying, Madam,
viii you pay cash for the pitcher you
have under your cloak, OF viii you have
il charged?"
The womau's faEe changed color. She
looked at the proprietor with a gather
ing expression Of Indignation. He met
her look with one Of u~uflinChing deter
minatiou. Her Indignation changed to
one of recollection and surprise. She
gave a hysteTical sort Of laugh and said:

A GOVERNORS SUICIDE.
Ex-Governor Morehouse of Missouri Cuts
Ills Throat-Biographical Sketch
of the Deceased.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. ga special
from Marysville, No, says: Ex-Governor
Albert p. Morehouse committed suicide at
his residence at 9 o'clock this morning
Several weeks ago the governor was
violently overheated while driving cattle
and has been in very nervous condition
and very much depressed. He was taken
out for drive by friends last night, but
became so much excited that he was brought
home and physician was called He be-
came Quieter during the night, and this
morning was sleeping. Two watchers
were in another room. They heard
gurgling noise In the gov
errors room, and on entering
found him lying on the floor, blood
squirting from his throat. He had cut a
cash in the left side of his throat about
four inches long. The weapon was pocket
knife which he still held in his right hand.
He had folded up his coat and vest and
placed them under his head.
Governor Morehouse was born in Della
ware county, Ohio, July 10. 1885,
and came to Missouri IN 1856. He
was 4 lawyer by profession and has
always taken prominent part in
Missouri politics. He was elected lieuten-
1884 with John S. Marmaduke as governor.
Upon the death of the latter he succeeded
him, and took the oath as governor Of the
state December 20, 1887.
His wife and two OF his children are in

EUROPEAN TROUBLES.

The nations of Europe are still stand
ing over that celebrated volcano that
newspaper correspondents assure Us
almost weekly is about to burst forth
and do the Lord only knows what dire
and calamitous things. Kings, crowns
and cabinets may be engulfed. govern
ments reduced to fragments and gay
capitals to ci1ders and ashes. There
was unusual commotion among all
classes few days ago when a Russian
volunteer feet passed through the OAR
danelles into the Mediterranean. Every
body asked, has Russia determined to
trample upon treaties and has she at
last won the favor of the porte? The
feeling of anxiety inspired by this bold
step had scarcely subsidized when
Europe was again stirred from center
to circumference by the landing of a
few English sailors on the island Of
Mitylene, near the entrance - the OAR
danelles. The incident. at any other
time, would scarcely be noticed, Tut
falling out when il did, it was at first
regarded as menace from Great
Britain and fresh illustration of her
old habit Of taking whatever she can
lay her hands on Whether the Incl
dent was calculated or only casual no
one knows. Its effect on Europe was
electrical enough toexcite every bourse
on the continent.
Europe is now in the condition of a
person whose constitution is susceptible
to the slightest changes in tempera-
ture. A puff of the north wind sets
him to coughing and q blast from the
swamps causes his bones to rattle with
chills. Poverty and hunger, the result
OF short crops and high taxes, abound,
and millions are living from hand to
mouth. Discomfort among them is in
evitable, and wits it the susceptibility
to those warlike impressions that in
triguing cabinets, lying diplomats, and
the movements of troops and fleets are
constantly creating. The existence OF
the dreibund, the Franco-Russian ALI
ance, the evident intention of Russia to
accomplish the long desired purpose OF
breaking through treaties and opening
the way for her fleets from the Black
into the Mediterranean sea, the impa-
thence OF Abdul Hamid with the Eng
lish occupation in Egypt, and above all
the nervous energy and uncertain mind
of the German war-god William, all
taken in connection with the eXtraor-
binary and uninterrupted military pre-
parations going on, are enough to agi-
tate and unsettle the popular mind, and
dispose it to war thoughts. An empty
stomach is always ready for riot or a
shindy. And empty stomaches are be-
coming as plentiful in Europe now as
empty heads of the sub-treasury persua-
sion are in this country.

for has been obtained. Texas has
deep water. The traffic of the West
and the Northwest will soon flow
through this state-as soon as the
needful railroad connections are to be
had and wharves and shipping accom-
modations established. These are
readily enough obtainable. Money
will provide them, and money can be
had in abundance when capitalists are
satisfied that Velasco has the neces-
sary depth OF water to do a shipping
business. The Denver deep-water
convention, attended by delegates
from nearly every state and territory
west of the Mississippi, showed how
earnest was the demand Of the West
for a nearer route to the seaboard,
which lay through Texas, and the ap-
preparation OF as large sum as So
10000 for the work of deepening the
harbor at Galveston is an indication OF
the willingness of congress to use the
nations resources for this end.
Whether the expenditure of this
money at Galveston will accomplish
what Is claimed for it and what it is
expected to do, is now of minor conse-
quence to the people outside OF that
city. A good deep water harbor any
where on the Texas coast will meet
tho demand Of Westarn traffic and If
Velasco has obtained, without ma
tional aid, but by superior natural con-
ditions, what Galveston offers as pos
sibility after some years OF work and
the expenditure of several millions of
money, Velasco will reap the advan-
tages of every kind that can come to
the possession Of deep-water ship
ping port.

The most satisfactory evidence is to
the effect that deep water is an accom-
plished fact at Velasco. There is now
a depth OF seventeen feet four inches
over the bar, e. low tide, with small
volume of water in the Brazos. II is
claimed that the work now doing will
shortly, when the Brazos rises and
sends down enough water to have q
strong securing action, make a chan
mel of at least twenty feet, which is
enough for ships of the greatest
draught that are likely to visit the
Texas coast for business.

AN AMERICAN TIN-MAKER MAN.

Leans, until it WIS discovered that they

We very readily give place to this
correction of statement made in The
GAZETTE, to the effect that the Nc
Kinlev button was made in Wales.
That statement was based on an article
in the Pittsburg Post, which said that
the boxes containing the manufactured
buttons came from Swansea, Wales,
and had the name and trademark of
the Welsh manufacturer burned in
them. If it is untrue The GAZETTE,
which wouldn't even lie about q Nc
Ninley button, is very glad to say it
isn't true. Upon the basis of Mr..
Crooks assertion that these buttons are
made in the United States. we are will
ing to confess that the Mckinley bill
has furnished a few workmen-a dozen.
perhaps-with employment in making
tin buttons, while it has plundered a
million worfmen by making them pay
more for their tin buckets.

Science in Bread Making.

At the recent meeting of the American
chemical society, held in Washington, D.
c., the question of the value of carbonate
of ammonia as leavening agent in bread,
or as used in baking powders, came up for
discussion, in which Professor Barker, of
the University of Pennsylvania, and presi-
dent of the society; Dr.. Richardson, late of
the United States department of agricul.
ture inE Washing; DR.. William McMurtrie,
sity Of IllAcis; Dr. Fl. H. BARLEY, late
chemist of tle Bro2Eyn, n. Y, board of
health. and Aofes{br of chemistry of the
Long Island c5AeR, and others took part.
The consensusk opinion was overwhelm-
ing in favor of t Unemployment of ammonia.
1t was stated as &faco4 hat ammonia rendered
the gluten of It'd flouINRore soluble than the
original gluten, and thaN<he bread in which
this action was produceA by carbonate Of
ammonia must be more dige4tible and hence
more healthful, and because Of the extreme
volatility OF carbonate of ammonia, and its
complete expulsion from the bread in the
process of baking, it is one of the most use
full, most healthful and most valuable leaV-
enlng agents known.
These conclusions are borne out by the
very elaborate and exhaustive experiments
made by Professor ]. W. Mallet of the Uni
versity of Virginia, which show conclu-
sively that bread made with baking pow
der in which l Per cent of carbonate OF
ammonia is used, in connection with cream
of tartar and soda. is not only of uniformly
better color and texture, but product more
wholesome, because the ammonia serves to
neutralize any organic or Tactic acids present
