Remarkable Experience of a Young Man
in California.
CARTHAGE. Ills, Feb. 27.- Several
months ago L. G. Carlin, a we'll known
young man of this city, went to San
Francisco to enter into business. A
friend in this city has received a letter
from Carlin, in which he asks: HAS
Miss N. received a fall latelyl I was
riding to supper on a street car about =
o'clock last Thursday evening when I
saw Miss N. fall out Of a sleigh or
a buggy. 1t has impressed me wildly.
Pleas ask her."
The friend who received the letter,
without advising Miss N. that such a
letter had been received, asked the
young lady if she had met with a fall of
any KIND recently. Miss N. studied tor
a moment and then replied: "Why,
Billy D. and I were out sleigh riding
about 8 o'clock Thursday night (men-
tioning the date referred to by Carlin),
when we were pitched out into a snow
drift" The difference in time between
Carthage and San Francisco is about
two hours. Miss N. was considerably
surprised that her San Francisco friend
had witnessed her unceremonious. exit
from the sleigh at a distance of 1000
miles.

DEMAND FOR SPACE.

Hard to Account odate All Who Want to
Exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Director General
Davis will shortly ask to have another
great exhibit hall constructed at the
worlds fair grounds. He wants more
exhibit space. The pressure upon him
for space is tremendous, both from
within and without this country.
1.-THE demands for space" said Colonel
Davis, "are something unparalleled in
the history of worlds fairs. The need
for additional space is not the fault of
the local directory nor of the national
commission. It is a contingency that
could not be foreseen No one expected
80 many nations would resoond to the
invitation of President Harrison to par
ticipate in the fair. This is to be a
worlds fair in every sense of the word.

A Strange Infatuatjon,

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 25.-That the pecull-5
arities Of the Alice Mitchell Freda
Ward case at Memphis are not confined
to the feminine sex was demonstrated
by the suicide here of DR.. E. T. Breed
love of Baltimore, at the Hurst hotel.
The hotel people were informed Of the
suicide by Isaac M. Judson, who was
in the doctors room at the time of the
shooting. The police were at once.
summoned and took charge Of the eff
fects, MI. Judson accompanying the.
officers to the four courts. When Mr..
Judson stated that he was in the
room when Breedlove shot himself, and
gave the cause of the rash act as de-
%spondency and a strange attachment to:
himself. This latter remark was the.
most significant when taken in consid-.
GRAFTON with letter found among the
dead mans effects. The letter is filed
with expression Of love for Mr.. JudsonS
and says that it is impossible for the
writer to live apart from him, and that
the of the suicide is the prospect
of separation. Nothing is known Of the
dead mans family except that they live
at Fort Scott, Kan. ss#s

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-One of the most

CATION OF certain alleged crookedness
existing In the administration of the
municipal government under his own
father. Banks Creiger, as the munich
pal complainant in quo warranto pro-
ceedings, asks that money amounting to
probably ST. 900, 900 be refunded to the
city; that the city be enjoined from
purchasing certain supplies in accord
ance with irregular precedent and that
the Office of one of the city officials be
declared vacant and his salary declared
void. The suit is the outcome of an

from all purchases except such as are
made in accordance with the law.
Further, the compliments pray that the
city be enjoined from paying salary to

Worlds Columbian Exposition company
while he gives his attention to any other
business or occupation; and lastly, that
a reckoning be had whereby the defend

Mckinley Bill constitutional. I

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-The Mckinley
tariff act was declared constitutional BY
the supreme court of the United States
IN a decision rendered by Justice Har-
Ian. The cases on which the deci: ion is
based are those of Marshall Field Of Chi
cago and the New York merchants, who.
protested against the payment of duties
on certain wooden dress goods and other
importations on the ground that the Nc
Kinley bill was not a legal and constitu-
tional enactment, by reason of the omis-
sion from the enrolled bill of the tobacco
rebate clause, agreed to in conferences
and contained in the bill when it passed
both houses. The court holds that this
omission does not make it illegal. It
also holds that the reciprocity and sugar
bounty sections of the bill are constitu-
tional.

Senator Pierce for Vice President.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 26.-Ihere is a
deal being worked up to solidify the
northwest for Harrison in the forthcom-
ing election. With Blaine at the head
of the ticket the northwest was solid.
With Harrison it IS different. The
northwest is somewhat shaky anyway
and in order to solidify it, it is. proposed,
to give the second place to a northwest
ern man in the person of ex-senator
Pierce, formerly of North Dakota, now
Of Minnesota. Pierce has for years
been Il resident of the northwest and
stands we'll with the people. In addition
to this he has the advantage of being in
the confidence Of Harrison, and during
his term as senator was in close relations
with the administration. In the poll Of
the Dakota legislature for vice rresi-
Dental preferences Mr.. Pierce received
several votes.
