JACK tho R1pper's UfaDofical work In
New York-The Villain Known.
New YoRK, April 25.-The deputy coro-
ner concluded the autopsy on the remains
of the woman murdered by Jack the Rip
per, this afternoon. The only fact of inn
portance disclosed was that the mutila-
tlons were evidently made while the
woman still lived, and it was apparent
that the struggles of the poor wretch pre-
vented the murderer from fully completing
what he originally intended-the removal
of certain organs.
Inspector Byrnes tonight made a state
ment to the reporters to the effect that
while the police had not yet arrested the
murderer they know who he is and hoped
to have him in custody before long. The
murderer is cousin of "Frenchy," or
Francois Algieron, who was arrested last
night. 1t is known that '.Frenchy" spent
Wednesday night with the murdered
woman and stayed at the hotel on the
night his cousin perpetrated the crime.

April Is in the Dardanelles. of the steam
ship belonging to the Russian volunteer
feet, which vessel was being used under
the mercantile flag as transport for mill

"OId Honesty"

A capital example of the straits which
literal obedience without Judgment may
bring one into, is given in the Youths
Companion:
Tommy is a very literal boy. He is
quite capable of standing on the burning
deck, like that other lad who interpreted a
command according to the letter of the
law, until he should be roasted and toasted
to crisp.
Don't take off your rubbers, Tommy"
said his mother one morning, as she left
him running across the wet lawn, and that
night when she returned from her visit,
and looked into Tommy's room, a strange
sight met her gaze The new Casabianca
was fast asleep in his little bed, and from
beneath the clothes were sticking two
black feet bedaubed with mud. Tommy
had not taken off his rubbers! How was
it possible to corrupt so obedlent child
by telling him that he should have used
his judgment.
1t is we'll understood in the family that
the children are not to eat cake. Tommy,
visiting at an aunt's, remembered this on
the first mOrHing of his stay.
will you have piece of johnny cake?"
asked his Aunt Laura.
II can't if you call it that" said he, hon.
estly "I'm not allowed to eat cake, but
could if you named it corn bread"

THE CHINESE EMPERoR's NEW SLEIGH.

This imperial sledge is shaped much like
the sedan chairs which were more common
than carriages even in England in the last
century, only instead of being borne OF
two poles it rests on runners Sedan chairs
are still used at the Chinese imperial court.
At the emperor's wedding two years ago,
when he was seventeen, the bride was
brought in a red sedan chair from her
mothers house to the throne room of the
the palace, where the emperor saw her for
the first time.
The emperor's new sleigh is of wonder
full workmanship, richly carved and paint
ed and gilded. At the four corners of the
roof are Chinese dragons, as if guarding
the golden ball raised in the center which
is the symbol of the emperor. In front is
another dragon, larger and more terrible
to look upon than the four above. The in
terror of the sleigh is beautifully fitted up;
it contains a toilet case, a watch, looking
glass and perfume bottles.-Little Men
and Women.

I've got Shakespeare, Byron and Moore

Twiggs mansion where we made our
headquarters while in New Orleans. If
anybody got away with the spoons it
would not be strange.
The distinguished family that moved
out for us left the family silver and
everything else, and we moved in and
took possession and used the abandoned
property as we had, under the laws Of
war, perfect right to do. We found
the famous Twiggs swords there. They
have long been on exhibition at Wash
ington. The Twiggs heirs are trying to
get all these things back, but they'll
have as hard time to trace that library,
I'm afraid, as they will the spoons. -

Chicago's Parks and Pathways.

The parks and parlways Of Chicago
are of a type the outgrowth of her nat
ural landscape conditions and the char
acteristics Of her people. Between the
great lake on the east and the prairie
main land on the west is low, swampy
tract diversified by sand ridges washed
up by the storm waves and shifted about
by the winds. The lake in some places
encroaches upon the land, and at other
points extends the shore by the forming
of sand bars. Upon such site was
founded Chicago, and upon such a soil
has she built her parks and boulevards.
The wide streets were rescued as rap
idly as possible from their primitive
condition of alternate mud and dust,
graded and laid with the most approved
forms of pavement. The fondness Of
the people for riding and driving, that
led them at an early day to provide SO
amply for public ways, caused the fea-
ture of fine driveways to be prominent
when the public parks were to be made

THE BUDDING MORROW.

Albeit at midnight's chime all light from
earth
Be fed. and through nights shadows to the
eyes
OF us, the weary watchers Of the skies
No sign appears of glad morrow's birth;
Yet at that moment the receding sun
Starts on his course returning TO our sight
Though it is long e'er any rays of light
Announce his progress IN the path begun.
Therefore, oh soul, in trials darkest hour
Have faith; for now, thy deepest sorrow past
The sun Of joy, his steps retracing fast,
Journeys to meet thee with increasing power
And soon his light shall to thine eyes appear,
Dispelling gloom and shaming all thy fear.
