Travelled all over this country, seeing

and getting good general idea of the prin-

famous as an humanitarian. After the war
he held several small Government positions.
In 1854 he began to write his compo-
sluoDs, which were so original that no one
understood or appreciated them. In 1855 he
published twelve compositions under the
title OF Leaves Of Grass" He himself
helped set the type. The book attracted no
notice, but Whitman was in no wise dis
couraged. He added new pieces whenever
the inspiration came, and year after year

THE EIPPER's RECORD.
A Series of Horrible and ReyoItin
Crimes.

A Series OF Horrible and RsyoIting
Crimes.
Perhaps no series Of crimes ever COM
mitted were so atrocious in detail as the
murder OF half score OF degraded women
in the Whitechapel district OF London by
ali unknown assassin commonly known as
Jack the Ripper" The victim in each
case was mutilated In the most horrible
manner, and it was evident that robbery was
not the mpelling motive Of the crime. The
marvellous success OF the murderer in escap-
ing capture baffied the police and terrified
the residents of that part of London where
the work was done. This Wbtechapel dis
trict is the most crowded, the most degraded,
the most immoral and the most dangerous
section OF the great metropolis. There is no
end 10 the variety Of the people IN nation
ality and occupation. There are fish-sellers.

In the lunumeraDie cross streets and byways
that open on tie great tbroughfare are great
buildings used for every imaginabl e pur-
pose. and occupied by every imaginable kind
of yeDple.
The murders occurred amid this network
OF alleys within a district half a mile
square. Osborn street, where the first Of
the fearful tragedies was enacted, is a mar
row and gloomy way leading northward
from the Whitechapel road. Here ON April

LONDON, March 26-The parers pub
lished Deeming's confession TO the Rainhill
and Whitechapel murders to-day The
story has caused the most intense excite
ment. There is ~ ucb difficulty in fixing the
two Wbltechapel murders, to which Deem
Ing is said to have confessed. Altogether
ten murders are attributed to Jack the
Ripper" but there is much doubt as to
whether the last two were committed Y
the same hand that committed the other
eight.
The police of Leman-street station do not
place much belief in the confession that
Deeming committed the two last crimes.
They admit, however, that If the confession
was to the murder Of Alice Mckenzie,
which occurred in 1889, and Mary Kelly,
committed in 1885, it i5possible tn at Deem
ing is telling the truth. Tie police give as
a reason for saying that Deeming is not the
murderer of Frances Cole the fact that at
the time she was killed Deeming was sery-
Ing nine months sentence at Hull for a
jeweIry theft.
Scotland Yard authorities have received
no private information from Melbourne re-
garding the confession. and attach little i'm
portance TO Deemlng's statements that he
killed two Of the Whitechapel women. They
say they believe Deeming's object In maxi
ing the confession Is TO secure emand and
be brought TO England. This Is we'll
known trick OF criminals.

Application for the appointment of Re-

PHILADELPHIA, March 26. A bill In

her body had been mutilated by some
