Singular Infatuation,

A telegram from St. Louis says: ''That the peculiarities of the Alice Mitchell Freda Ward case at Mem phis are not confined to the femi- nine sex was demonstrated by the suicide here this morning of pr. E.. T. Breedlove of Baltimore. This morning the inmates of Hurst's Ho- tel were startled by pistol shot. A few seconds later Isaac NJ. Jud- son rushed down stairs and inform ed the proprietor that Dr. Breed love had just shot himself. Hurst at once rushed to the room, where he found Breedlove's dead body. The man had shot himself in the right temple and death was evident ly instantaneous.
 At the police station Judson said that he was in the room when Breed love shot himself and gave the cause of the act as despondency and a strange attachment for himself (Judson). This latter remark lost significance when taken in connec- tion with letter found among the dead mans effects. It says, in part:
 Il came intending first to kill you and then myself. I shall only make an end of my own miserable exis- tence, and my love for you has been my ruin. 1 can no more live apart from you than fly. Th~e is but one thing I could have, and that is to pass the remainder of my life in your presence. l shall do that, anyhow, for to die in your arms re- lieves death of half its terrors. It is cruel for me to do this act, for it will blight this life. I should be more cruel to myself to try to live without you.

The blow will probably kill my mother. I shudder to think of it. We might have been happy to- gether had it not been for your rich friends, your high social and busi ness standing, your high ideas of morality, which you never fill; but it is too late and must come. Good bye, Isaac. l won't wish you hap piness; you will never have that again, and you will follow in my footsteps some time.

Ex-Senator Warner Miller, of New York, one of the closest political observers in the country, speaks in a very hopeful vein about the pros pect of Republican success. He says: New York State can be carried by the republicans at the November elections. There has been tre- mendous reaction all over the State against the democratic party as dominated and ordered about by David B. Hill. The exposures of democratic purposes at Albany, taken in connection with the meth ods by which they obtained control of the upper branch of the Legisla- ture, have disgusted large numbers of democrats, who will follow Hill to the polls if necessary to defeat him. The best feature, however, of the democratic domination and leg islation has been to arouse republi cans to pitch where they will do their utmost to carry the State, and will be able to effect perfect unifi- cation for that purpose, and to make an attack on the democrats that will be irresistible. It is apparent at the present time that Hill has killed Cleveland as democratic Presiden- tial alnominee, but Cleveland's friends, by their anti-early convention move ment, have also killed Hill. He may secure the the nomination, but he certainly will not secure the election. By the way, it is a most unfortunate spectacle for the State of New York to be presided over by a Governor whose only answer to the committee of business men of the metropolis who visited him to secure his influence to increase the appropriation for New York's ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair was to ex- claim: "Ratsr' It is ignominious that the State should be ruled by such a Chief Executive.

The Denver Times is deeply exer- cised because the people of Missis- sippi have agreed to make the birth day of Jeff Davis a legal holiday, and its wrath is so lurid that it can with difficulty restrain itself from calling out the troops. 1t certainly seems in questionable taste to es tablish such holiday considering all the facts of the case, but as they don't more than half way celebrate Washington's birthday in that state the chances are that the Davis holi day will lapse rapidly into innocu ous desuetude.-Albuquerque Dem Ocrat

EDITORIAL NOTES.

New York will have two delega- tions in the national democratic con- vention.
 The silver question is thorn in the flesh of the democratic majority in Congress.
 A live Chinaman was smuggled into Detroit recently from Canada in a coffin.
 The Trans-Mississippi congress has resolved in favor of the admis- sion of Arizona and New Mexico.
 The Nogales Herald favors the election of George Christ as dele gate to the national republican con- vention.
 The unkindest cut of all is the suggestion that Hill take the second place on the ticket with Henry Wat terson.
 Louisiana democrats have decided not to use their Winchesters for the present and are now negotiating fol a compromise ticket.
 The fight that is being waged on George Christ, by certain republi' can papers, seems to be entirely un- called for. They seem to be of al entirely personal character.
 Thebill authorizing appropriation for exhibit at the Worlds Fair, a: provided for by the legislature ol Arizona, has been passed by the lower house of congress.
 The reapportionment of the state of Ono, to correct the gerry mandering by the last democratic legislature is pronounced as just and fair, by all except the demo crats.
 Germany's young emperor seems to be afflicted with what American: would call the ''big head" In a re cent speech at banquet he claimed that God and himself are the sole rulers of Germany.
 The associated press gravely in forms the public that Mir. Cleveland has said he is candidate for presi dent. Now if they will call on Mir Hill and ascertain his intentions the public may feel truly grateful particularly the democratic public
 The Albuquerque Democrat very truthfully and pertinently remarks that New Mexico has one notable advantage over Arizona in the race for statehood, and that is, the the absence of any formidable Nor mon element there.
 The house committee on elections has by formal vote approved the proposition to elect United States senators by direct vote oi the people but has not yet decided whether the constitutional amendment ought to leave the method of election optional with the several states or compul- sory.
 At reception given to Grover Cleveland, at Detroit, the other day one enthusiastic old lady tried tc embrace him. The telegraph de scribes the attempt as failure, but whether owing to her arms not being long enough to encircle his form ol to being repulsed by him, it doe not enlighten us.

There seems to be a general co

There seems to be general con- census of opinion among republi- cans that Acting-Governor Murphy should be one of Arizona's repre- sentatives to the Republican Ma tional Convention. Gov. Murphy is most deserving of that honor. He is republican always; his desire for personal aggrandizement, or to re- venge himself for some personal wrong, real or fancied, has never sweryed him from party fealty. His administration of the affairs of the office to which he was appointed has been peerless, and Arizona has never had a better executive than its act ing governor.-Florence Tribune.

DEATHOF A TERROR
Ravachoi, the Paris Fiend,
Beheaded
BY THE SkILlFUl DlEBLER
He Attempts TO Make jolly With His
Ghastiy End, But Fails to
Arouse Respect

MoSBARIsos, July 1l.-Ravschol, the
anarchist and murderer. was guilio-
tined early this morning. NJ. Diebler,
popularity and facetiousiy known IS
IN. de Paris" the public executioner,
arrived here from Paris at O'Clock
Sunday evening and at one began pre-
parstious for the execution. The
scaffold Was erected in public place
about 90 meters from the prison.
Ravachol could plainly near the car

About 4 O'Clock this morning Ravachol.
who had fallen asleep in spite of his
knowledge that his death WAS immi-
nent, was aroused and notified that his
time had come. He assumed an air
of bravado and made mocking re-
ply. He rudely refused the
religious offices rendered by the prison
priest. He was dressed in the same
clothes tnat he wore when arrested
and when his toilet was finished he
commented laughlngly upon his dudish
appearance AS being somewhat out of
place on such an occasion. After he
had been securely bound, NJ. Berger,
assistant to IN. de Paris" cut away
the prisoners collar and shaved off his
back hair.
Joked With the On-Lookers
Ravachol joked with those around
HIM and indulged In profane and in
decent comments, but instead of Great
ing the desired impression of indiffer-
ence he showed plainly that he was
feverishly excited and hardly knew
what be was saying. He was placed in
q van and hurried to the place of exc
cution, around which q Gordon of
troops had been drawn. There were
military pockets also throughout the
town, but the precautions had been
taken TO guard against disorder seemed
wholly unnecessary, as the crowd
which had gathered was composed of
mere curious sightseers and no sign
of any anarchistic sympathy with the
condemned was visible. When the
prison van reached the scaffold
Ravachol was asked if he desired to say
anything. He replied that he would
address the crowd, but instead of speak
ing he began to sing al indecent song
and danced to the refrain a. we'll as he
could with his ankles strapped. The
officers in charge soon tired of this bur-
lesque and gave the signal to NJ.
Diebler.
His Demeanor Changed
The executioner's assistants at once
seized Ravachol, whereupon the latter'e
demeanor suddenly changed. He
dropped his assumption of indifference
and struggled furiously, but was speed
| lily overpowered and borne to the fatal
block. Even while being tied down on
the plank he continued his futile
struggles, uttering meanwhile the foul
est epithcts and curses. The indecent
and blasphemous TRADE was cut short
| by the swift descent of the knife, and
the head OF the notorious robber, iu-
cendiary and murderer rolled into the
basket. The crowa witnessed the nor
rible sight with the same stolid inditfcr-
ence that had characterized lis con-
duct throughout. There was none of
the irreverent hilarity common to Pa
rislan crowds on such occasions, and IT
was evident that no sympathy was felt
tor the man who had pretended to
| commit his crimes in the interest CT the
peOple.
