A recent instance of mans inhuman-
lty to woman is related in Maine. At
ter she had MIXED the cows, strained
the milk into thirteen stone crooks,
carried the crooks down into the eel
lar, skinned the cream, washed the
crooks and put them on the fence pal
ings to dry, heated skinned milk for
the calves and carried it to the barn
for them, got the cream ready for
churning, put her husbands supper
on the table, and then hurried to take
the crying baby, the farmers wife said
she was tired, and asked her husband
to buy her portable creamery, in or
der to tighten her labors. The farmer
said he couldn't afford it, and the next
day went to town and bought riding
pillow, paying for it with the butter
money.

To those alliancemen, and, in fact,
men of all parties, who think voters in
the alliance and all other labor organ
izations "should support members of
their organizations when nominated in
the old party caucus," we call atten-
ton to the fact that about twenty six
Democrats who were elected through
the aid of alliance influence and votes
while candidates, have now, after be-
ing elected, utterly repudiated the
promises made, and in the language OF
Congressman Tom Watson, of Georgia,
'feel their oats" to such an extent
they are Democrats first, last and all
the time, and only alliancemen when
they want votes.--1orch of Liberty. +.

workman earning his living on one of the

he does not get his religious and moral
guidance from a high. salaried occupant of

duty and conduct differs totally from the
views which have recently been illustrated
in practice by those who call themselves

career of wrong, taking with her the modest

eight page paper with full telegraph news fran

straightforward in the defense of American insti-

1t has taken advanced ground and from now on
will lead where others follow. For the next thirty
days only. the News announces that it will take
subscribers at the unparalleled low subscription
rate of $500 per year in advance. This is the
most liberal offer ever made by frst-class daily
newspaper, and the approach of a warm political
campaign, in which the News will take active
independent part, makes the offer all the more
liberal. The News has an able staff of political
writer's who hew to the line and take no notice of
the falling chips. 1t is excellent paper and

WILL Be QUIET FOR TEN YEARS,
Wong Ark Sentenced to That
Term at Folsom.
The Examination Of the Old Vienna
Buffet BOuncer.
Happenings Yesterday Ia the Various
Tribunals-N0tes on Cases Which
Were Trial - New
Suits Fned.

The last act, as far as the superior
court can go was enacted in the Wong
Ark tragedy yesterday, when he was
sentenced to 10 years imprisonment at
Folsom.
Just why Wong Ark did not suffer
death ior the crime he committed is one
of those vagaries which follow the jury
system.
He appeared in court yesterday morn
ing just as calm and inscrutable as to
his feelings as he has shown himself all
through the two years that he has
been fighting through the courts for his
life.
A white man would have suffered and
shown it, but Ark looked even natter
and sleeker than when he first entered
the county Jail.
His attorney, j. M. Damron, entered
motions for new trial and in arrest of
judgment, but both were denied; and
Wong Ark has come go near being
hanged that he did not look much wor-
ried when the court ruled.
The final verdict in the case was
really curious one. Ii the jurors be-
lieved the two Cinnamon who said they
saw Ark deliberately shoot his victim,
poor littls Guet Cue, the case was un-
doubtedly one of cruel murder with no
palliating circumstances. The jurors
agree that it was manslaughter, which
certainly showed they believed the Chi
naman had shot the woman. Yet they
made it manslaughter. And they even
went 30 far as to recommend the pris-
oner to the mercy of the court.
There is some prospect that Ark's case
may be again appealed to the supreme
court, although it is hardly Likely. He
feels quite comfortable that rope is
not around his neck, and will not care
much to risk another appeal to the
courts, when he might go further and
fare worse than 10 years &C Folsom.

AN UGLY CUT.
Bouncer McGin1ey in Rather an Awkward
Predicament.

Bouncer McGin1ey in Rather an Awkward
Predicament.
Yesterday the examination of the
bouncer of the old Vienna Buffet, on
Requena street, man named mckinley,
was had before Justice Stanton, and
owing to the protracted croaSexamina-
tions of the counsel for the defendant,
the case was not concluded and will be
resumed this morning.
There was a row in the concert hall
several weeks ago, which took place
right in front Of the platform where the
artists of the place appear. In the
course OF the row Mckinley hit man
named Chapman with "billy," and
Valdes, who was sitting close by, was
siezed and thrown down. While he was
down Mckinley hit him over the eye
with the billy" inflicting quite a
serious wound. The man was taken to
the receiving hospital, where DR.. Bryant
attended him.
While the line of defense as indicated
by defendants counsel was very hazy,
still it seemed to be pointing to an at
tempt to establish that Valdes fell down
and hurt his head against the platform,
and that the "billy" blows were myths
in the minds of the several persons who
saw them struck.

Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence.
SUFFERN, n. Y, Nov. 21-While walk
ing up and down the piazza of the best ho-
tel in this hustling little place 1 met a
man with long white whiskers, and, queer
as it may seem, as soon as our eyes met he
burst into most violent fit of laughter.
l naturally felt indignant, as / supposed
he was laughing at me. He noticed this
and said, by way of apology:
Il was laughing at something that hap
pened up in Delaware county last summer,
and every time the memory Of it crosses
my mind | cannot control the wild desire
to laugh; it makes no difference where 1
am"
Il will forgive you," remarked, smil-
ing, "if you will tell me all about this
queer episode that continually upsets you
with mirth."
"Well," he began, ''it's all about mean
man who had flock of geese. He was one
of the meanest men who ever lived in Della
ware county, and he would do anything to
get something for nothing. or rather at the
expense of a neighbor. But he ran against
the wrong man when he sent his geese into
John Smiths corn field to devour the corn
he had just planted. He sent the geese in
at o'clock one morning, and when Smith
saw them cracking their bills into the
ground and eating the corn with the rapid
ity of so many Australian emus he got
so mad he didn't know what to do.
''Tie owner of tha geese thought it was
a great joke, little believing that the joke
was on himself. The man who owned the
corn field went into the house and mixed a
lot of plaster of paris with some Indian
meal and gave it to the geese, and after
they had devoured it the whole mass
turned into stone inside of them, and when
they began to feel uneasy, as if they had
eaten green apples, they went to the pond
for swim, and sank like so many rocks
and We're drowned" r. X. NJ.

Max Maretzek Tells How She Made Her
Debut.
Especial Correspondence.1
OMAHA, Nov. 22.-The manager undes
whom Nine Patti made her first public
appearance says that interesting event took
place but few months short of forty years
ago. The man in question is Max Maret-
zek, whose name is not familiar one now
but for nearly third of a century he was
one of the best known impresarios in
America and managed the tours of many
of the famous singers of other days.
Twelve years ago he abandoned hazardous
operatic ventures and settled down as q
private musical instructor. He continues
to enjoy the friendship of the diva, and is
not averse to relating the circumstances
under which she made her debut.
ut occurred in the spring of 1S53," he
said to me in a recent interview in this
city, "the year following the advent of
Jenny Lind in America. At the time |
was conducting the Italian Opera company
in New York. among whose members were
the father, mother, brother and sister of
Patti. One day they brought the little
girl to me to try her voice. They said she
was eight years old, hut remember think
ing at the time that she was ten. From
that" smilingly, ''you can figure the
madame's age pretty accurately, but as she
doesn't deny her age don't think she will
mind my telling this.
'The little girl sang by ear, but she had
voice which was notable even. at that
early age. Her songs were mostly popular
airs of the day, and several of the Swedish
melodies made familiar by Jenny Lind.
Our company was giving three operas and
one concert each week, and l asked the fu-
ture diva if she wanted to sing in the con.
cert the following week.
"'Yes, sir. Whit will you give me?' was
her answer, showing, as | have often
thought since, that the business instinct
was developed in her earliest youth.
L will give you that much candy,'
answered, drawing a finger around the
edge of the sweatband in my inverted hat.
'She expressed herself as satisfied, and
she being child l of course straightway
forgot the pledge though / intended to
make her little present of some kind.
The concerts were given att the old Trip
pier hall, on Broadway, opposite Bond
street, and next door to the Central hotel.
When it came PATHS turn to 90 upon the
stage she asked for the candy. told her
had none and urged her to sing, but she
insisted on having her confectionery l
next promised to go out and get some
while she sang, but she declined that ar
rangement. 1t was late in the evening,
and knew not where to find candy at that
hour within convenient distance of the
hall, and SO, in desperation, 1 ran into the
hotel and asked the cook for some. The
cook had none, but suggested Offering
some little cakes, lady fingers and others
with frosting. These satisfied the child, |
and she went ON with her part. She sang
several Swedish songs and made a very
favorable impression. Every time Nine.
Patti visits America we talk over that ex-
perience, and she always laughs heartily |
over it, FRED BENZINGER
