SEATTLE, sATURDAT, DEC. q.
THE DEATH OF MRS. JKNNEa.

The death Of Mrs Cornelia q. Jenner
removes from life one who will long be
held In grateful remembrance by the
people Of Seattle. The poor. and those
who have suffered, have more than ordin-
airy cause to regret her death and to mourn
her loss.
During the years that Mrs. Jenner
has resided in Seattle she has been among
the leaders in all good works. She mas
been active in the work of the Ladies'
Relief Society and of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, and her
works of private goodness and charity
have been so many and so frequent that
her whole life seemed to be devoted to the
service of others.
Gentle. quiet and unostentatious, Mrs.
Jenner's influence has been felt in Seattle
as that of few others could be. Her efforts
were always exerted for the right as she
saw the right. and she sought for 1t ever
through the eyes of Christian charity.
Loving and earnest, she was one of those
who, dying, leave the world better because
they have lived.

Pedro the Second, ex-emperor of Brasil,
whose death is announced this morning,
was the head of the direct male line of
the house of Braganza, the royal house Of
Portugal since 1s40. Measured by
his literary and scientific accomplish
ments, by his enlightened and benefi-
cent political career, Dom Pedro
was the best constitutional sovereign of
his day and generation. He ended the
slave trade by decree in 1850; he won tho
free navigation Of the River Platte for
Brazil in 1852; he crushed that monster
of cruelty, Lopez. the tyrant of Para
quay; his influence secured the passage of
the preliminary measure Of emancipation
in 1871; he made free education almost
universal through his empire; developed
the commercial prosperity of his country;
suppressed the Political power Of the
clergy; placed the national finances in
good condition, and under his admins
tration slavery was finally abolished, rail-
ways built, telegraphs and cable lines
built in every direction; and the naviga-
ton of the great rivers Amazon and Platte
ordained that their property should es-
cheat to the state. During his absence
il Europe the action of his daughter,
the regent Isabel, precipitated the
revolution of 1889. She recalled the Jesu-
its. On his return in 1889 the emperor
signed decree of general emancipa-
ton, and the planter class, who
r.
not until compensation had been
voted, organized revolt and proclaimed
republic. The ex-emperor was forced TO
abdioate; the people knew that Brazil was
safe under Pedro, but dreaded the success
sion of his bIgoted daughter, the Countess
d. Eu.

THE NEW UTAH.

An intelligent correspondent, not a
Mormon, but a Gentle, who has been two
years and o half a resident of Utah, writes
Epening Post:
The Norm ons OF Utah ara going into polygamy
as little as are the Roman Catholics of New
York. Aside from that enc feature of their faith,
ell who have any knowledge OF them admit thst
they are exemplary people. l do not know if
any Normons are living in polygamy in Europe,

message viii throw some light on this sub
ject.
The negotiation of the various reciproc-
ity treaties, the treaties by which
the restrictions placed upon the
importation Of American pork into
Europe have been removed, and
the Bering sea negotiations, all afford in
teresting material. On the subject last
named it is probable that the president
will say something of more than usual
importance.
Altogether, that part of the message
which reviews the work Of the state de-
partment ought to be interesting reading.

Bull was murdered, said Conrad Disst-
Ter, who made the sixty mile march
across the sand plains of the Sioux
Reservation from Fort Yates to Grand

an eyewitness of the killing.
Red Tomahawk never liked Bull y
says Disstler, 9 and he was glad of an
opportunity to go into camp under
Government orders. The Indian po-
lice were ahead of us, and Red Tom
ahawk, their leader, found and entered
the tepee Of Sitting Bull. When he
told the chief that he was to come,
with him, Bull made no resistance.

by women and they, alarmed, made an

his pistol and shot him. Bull fell to

quickly besieged by the hostiles.
Capt. Fetchet brought the two
field guns iuto play at once, and the
hostiles fled with but a poor offer of
resistance. Sitting Bull, after receiving
his wound, had crawled into bush,
and there with his rife was making a
fight. He was dragged forth, and an
Indian policeman beat in his head

Judge King shows That They Must Not
Attack Him. l.44


70 SAN ANTONIO, TEX, December o.
There was considerable excitement pro-
duced here to-day by the arrest of the
grand jury. The capias was sworn out
yesterday, and in response to notices
sent them by the sheriff the several
members Of the Investigating body
went to the court house alto o'clock
this morning, and gave themselves up.
They We're then taken to the county
jail and placed in confinement There
is a fine Of $50 hanging over each MEM
ber, which was imposed by Judge King,
of the Forty-ffth district court, who
held that they We're in contempt in
serving an attachment on him while he
was on the bench.
The jurors bore their arrest good-na-
turedly, but at once proceeded to take
steps looking to their release. Attor-
Iney Franklin, acting in their behalf,
left here tonight for Tyler with a pc
tition to the supreme court in session
there for writ of habeas corpus. If
the petition is granted it will be at
least two days before the proceedings
can be finished, and during that time
the grand jury must remain in Jail.
There was an Indignation meeting held
by those in sympathy with the grand
jury tonight, and speeches were made
lndorsing the course they had taken.

Rev. Colby's Sunday Evening Sermon
AT Asbury Park.

Az AsDury Gark.
AsBURY PARK, December 7.-Rev.
Frank G. Colby, pastor Of the First
Baptist Church, preached a sermon to-
night to large audience on the %Rum-
selling Druggists of this town. His
text was "Woe to the drunkards of
Ephraim.
The divine declared that nearly every
one of the score of druggists in Asbuiy
Park retailed rum, in violation of the
excise laws of the town. He also
maintained that the Grand Juries of
Monmouth County were controlled by
the politicians, and on that account it
was impossible to indict the law break
ers. He cited an instancewhere Con-
stable of the county was bribed, he
alleged, to withhold TIC services of
subp@nas issued by the state authori-
ties, so as to secure the conviction of a
notorious rum selling druggist.
In his sermon, Mr.. Colby caused
astonishment and excitement by stating
that while preparing subject matter
for his discourse he had made almost
daily visits to the freight house of the
New York & Long Branch Railway here.
and had carefully noted the number of
barrels and casks of beer and rum CON
signed to residents of Asbury Park.
He also claimed that the back rooms of
some of the drug stores were used night
~ as gambling dens.

Yesterday accompanied by violent
wind storm, but so far as we have
learned there was not much damage
sustained. The unusually heavy flow
OF water came very near washing out

1t was very evident to many here that
the storm was more violent elsewhere
than here, as the clouds looked very
threatening. Our telegraphic dispatch
