For the Spectator.
THEN AND NOW.
BY WILLIAM W. LONG.

I've lived this life 'mong women and men,
Hated and hating-and most OF all,
Laughed at love in my cynical fashion,
AS drank my cup of bitter and gall.
I've Knocked at the creeds of shallow mortals,
Strong in 8 will they never could bend.
To live this life, then die-die laughing
said: 'sThe grave is rest-lo! this is the end
ButFaith hath brought ms her purest flower.
And now know some things are true,
Since God or angel. from out the darkness.
Oh, flower OF purity, gave to me you.
have held you cloge to my heart OF fire.
In arms that are mighty anu strong to hold;
And Knocked at Fate in his shattered arnor,
Lying there In the shadows dead and cold.
And will hold you 'gainst all behoving,
Hold you, keep you. sweet, alway,
In bowers of light or wales of darkness,
My peerless, priceless. beautiful May.

WHAT A AwOMANEATs-Oft tweaty women
lunching at a popular restaurant few days
ago, says writer in The Ladies' Home
Journal, five ordered ics- cream aud cake;
three piece of pie aud cup Of coffee each;
two had bread and butter, followed by dark
fruit-cake; and the eight remaining women
were divided between eclairs, cresm.cakes,
jelly-tarts and doughnuts, with az OCCASION
al cup of coffee or tea. The one sensible
woman had soup, a sandwi aud light
cup OF chocolate. 1 fingered ever my own
luncheon, SO that the twenty women all
changed during my stay, bat tho pfopor-
tion of cake caters remained the same. The
majority of thess lunohers were working
women. They had probably, ct the least
calculation, been at work since nine o'clock
that morning, and had yet some fonr or five
hocrs more of labor before them; during
that time they expected to sustain life and
nourish their body and brain upon one
piece of pie and cup of coffee. Among
the harder working class the sans thing
exists also, and women deliberately refuse
to avail themselves of cheap and nutritious
food, preferriog, instead. worthless, harm
full pastry. l. is scarcely necessary to add
that among the forty odd women who sanae
and went duriLg my luncheon, there was
scarcely one with G clear, rosy complexion,
such as eyely woman should have, or who
gave the impression of perfect health. Ono
saw instinctively they had no appetite, had
headache and ''nerves," and were heiresses
to thousand natural but necessary ills
that the exercise OF little common sersa
would avert,

A South American PeOn Murders Ton Chill
dren and Three Grandchildren.

A South American PeOn Murders Ten Chill
dren and Three Grandchildren.
The mails just in from Trujillo by way Of
Panama, under date of July rs, bring the de-
tails from the village of Lomos de Zamora in
the United States of Columbia of the frightful
series of child murders committed there by the
peon Marciano Medina.
His wife and daughter Remigia are access
series to if not accomplices in the killing Of
thirteen infants. Medina, who has been forced
to make a full confession TO the commissary Of
police. Osvaldo Gueri, takes his detection very
coolly and says that he killed his own ten chill
dren because he was too poor to support them
and killed his three grandchildren to hide dis
daughters shame.
He has, In spite of his Wholesale infanticide,
six sons and one daughter in his family, and it
appears that they all knew Of bis murders and
deprecated them. But although his people
claim to have hated him, and although his
neighbors in Tomas de Zomora. where he has
lived since 1871, knew Of his acts all along, no
complaint ever found its way to the ears of the
police until July IL, when he went to the town
to invoke the aid of the police in bringing back
his daughter, who had run away with o lover.
Her muscular strength was valuable ON his
ranch and he wanted her back. She was ar
rested in Quilmos the next day and in revenge
told of her parents crime.
The old mans confession tells with great de-
tail the various ways in which he murdered each
one Of the thirteen infants from 1859 to 1891.
He killed them all when they we're less than five
months old, some Of them but few days old.
Between 1874 and 1882 he raised the seven chill
dren he now has. Excavations made on Medi-
mas ranch have disclosed the skeletons Of sew
eral Of the babies The brute favorite method
Of murder was to squeeze in the children's
chests by pressing them against his own.

White Residents Saved Only by the Presen,
Of the European War Ships.

White Residents Saved Only by the Presence
of the European War Ships.
Miss L. Barrett of Washington has lust re-
turned from Hong Kong, having left there on
July 10. Nothing but the presence Of the
European war ships in the Chinese harbors
saves the white residents of Canton and other
Chinese cities from massacre" said Miss Bar
rett yesterday in Chicago. 1.-THE Chinese gov
eminent may or may not be able to stop the
uprising against the Europeans, but certainly
1t is not trying to do so.
1T seems to care little or nothing about the
fate Of the whites, except in the seaporrs and
within range of the guns Of the men war.
The lower classes of the Chinese are terribly
incensed against the whites, and are especially
bitter against the Missionaries whom they
charge with all sorts Of crimes.
1.-The leaders in the anti-European movement
say the missionaries gouge children's eyes out
and use them for medicine. This charge prob
ably grew out o. the fact that somewhere a
white surgeon operated on the diseased ewes of
q Chinese patient. From hating and attacking
the missionaries the mob has now turned its ire
toward the residents of the cities.
cat Canton, before l left, angry crowds pa
were inscribed all sorts of vile applications to
the whites. The pet name Of the Chinese for
the European is 'white-faced dog In some
cases they did not stop at hOoting at Europeans
or calling them names. They attacked the
dwellings Of the poorer white people, drove
them out and then burned the houses
'Many missionaries in the interior have been
killed, but their murderers have gone unpun-
ished."

special telegram from New York says: The
long-pending litigation between Gen. Will
lam Averill and A. L. Barber, head of the A. L..
Barber Company, and in which every city
which is laying asphalt payements and high
ways is interested, was settled yesterday
through compromise by the payment to
the plaintiff of S221, 1000. Gen. Averill
is assistant superintendent Of soldiers
homes, his home being in Bath, NY He is
the owner of what are known as the Averiu
patents in asphalt, and claimed that Barber,
who is probably the largest layer of asph alt in
America, was infringing upon his right
Through his attorneys, ex-Gov. Henry NJ
Hoyt Of Wilkesbarre and Ex-Judee William
Fullerton of New York he brought suits which
resulted in causing cessation Of public work
in the laying Of asphalt in many of the largest
cities of the country. Yesterday settlement will
permit the resumption of this labor. In order
to raise sufficient funds to prosecute the battle
which he has just won Gen. Averill sold GER
tain portion OF his rights for the sum Of $4,000
to six Of the most prominent men of Wilkes
barre. who each invested 81, 500. This expendi-
ture, which was made very recently, will net
each OF the investors about sis, 900.

The speaker then discussed the idea of an

not wholly modern. He spoke Of the genesis
OF atoms, and examined at some length the
theory Of Mr.. Crookes of the genesis of the ele-

Of MIR. Crcokes to treat it simply as provisional

An Angry Woman Plies the Lash on Law
yer's Back

yer's Back
Apretty brunette and a swishing rawhide
played havoc in Judge Kohlsaat's court in Chi
cago yesterday and practically decided a long
lawsuit over the custody Of a child and a
$50, 900 estate which has occupied the atten-
ton Of the probate court for many months.
The pretty woman was Mrs Edward Mcmahon,
whose husband has been charged with attempt
ing to poison his own child by a former wife.
The mother Of the former wife has been en-
deavoring to get possession Of the child on this
charge. The lawyer who was rawhided is Pat
rick McHugh, q well-known member Of the
bar, who was not long ago candidate for the
bench, and who was associated with Lawyer
Hynes in behalf of the mother-in-law in the
case.
Not only was Attorney McHugh rawhided by
Mrs. McMahon, but he was smashed right and
left his ewes BACKED, and. in fact. he was
knocked clean out by Mr.. Mcmahon, the hus-
band. Judge Kohlsaat was unmoved. He
simply had the belligerents removed and re-
fused the application of Attorney Hynes to i'm
pose penalty for contempt of court. The
sympathies of every one are enlisted in behalf
of the woman.
The whipping occurred about II o'clock.
The hearing had been resumed. Trouble had
been anticipated ever since Attorney McHugh

ALLIANCE CONVENTIONS.


Farmers in Session in Three Southern states,
The state alliance of Georgia met in annual
session at Atlanta yesterday. Great interest
conferred in the meeting as it was understood
a fight would be made on President Livingston
The morning session was devoted to routine
work of the organization.
The only breeze was over an effort on the
part Of one Of the delegates to inject what
promised to be fight on Livingston, but this
was ruled out of order, and the convention
considered the leader Of the anti-Livingston
forces, endeavored to have the decision Of the
chair overruled.
At the afternoon session this matter was re-
opened in the shape of a resolution for post
ponement Of the election of officers until
charges could be preferred against Livingston
and Investigated. This was unanimously poled
down. A resolution indorsing Livingston was
then passed with but one dissenting vote.
A resolution providing that no alliance man
national House Of Repi lbentatives who is not
in full accord with the alliance principles was
tabled. This was intended as blow at Crisp,
and 1t is not believed the resolution will be
taken from table.
Col Livingston's reelection is conceded

iudiCiOua to nav takes in money and NJ IL,
coupons. and We hereby earnestly beseech the

our state upon the altar of commercial cupiditv.
The report Of the committee on President
Pages address declared that the alliance fully
appreciates the importance Of settling the
state debt. providing it can be done without in
any way increasing the present ratio OF taxa
ton; that the taxpayers of Virginia have some
rights that the bondhOlders ought to respect;
that the committee is satisfied that certain
people in Virginia had mado impressions on
the bondholders Of the condition of the state
not true, which, in their Judgment, had re-
tarded the settlement Of the debt.
The following officers were elected for the
en, y term: Maj. Mann Page, president, and
secretary and treasurer were combined and ].
