THE CHILD-WIFE BURIED.


EOurteen-Year-Old Lulu Yost Finds Rest
 at Last.
 NEWARK, N. J., Aug. 2j.-The funeral of Mrs. Lulu Yost, the child-wife of Christopher Yost, was largely attended at her late home, 107 Somerset street. She died Sunday from the effects of phos- phorous, obtained by soaking matches in water, swallowed with suicidal intent.
 The young wife was fourteen years, six months and nineteen days old, and had been married five months. Her husband is twenty-twO years of age.
 When the girl was married last March a good deal of comment was caused, owing to her extreme youth. She was very pretty, and unusually well-dcveloped for her years. Her husband seemed very much in love with her, but it is said by those who knew them that the young bride has not been happy. It is said that she has of late given indications of mental derangement - 'acting queerly," the neighbors say. It is known that she was in delicate condition.
 Her husband, who is leather worker, found her i'll when he came home from his work last Wednesday. ''Chris, I've done it this time," she said. She was suffering great agony, and a physician was summoned To him she declared that she had taken some chloroform lini- ment by mistake. The doctors prescrip tion relieved her pain, and she became able to resume her household duties.
 Mrs. Yost was taken i'll again Satur- day, and told a neighbor, Mrs. Heinrich, that she had swallowed the phosphorus and how she obtained it. All measures adopted to counteract the effects of the poison were in vain, and she died Sunday.

TIE democratic primary elections to- morrow. evening will be .stubbornly contested, from what we can learn. It is almost certain that there will be two tickets in the field in every ward and the struggle for supremacy will be in teresting. It is not in the province of the DEMOCRAT to urge its readers to support this or that ticket. In local political quarrels, except in rare cases, party papers should take no part. The primary elections are held simply to give everybody an opportunity to ex- press choice for ward, city or town officials, as the case may be. It is a sort of informal ballot and determines who shall rule, or at least who ought to rule. In Waterbury the minority find it. hard to accept defeat gracefully. Too.I often have they Isulked in their tents. They have even gone to the extreme and undemocratic measure of open warfare against the party. This is wrong, all wrong. All differences should be settled at the primaries. The men whom the majority of the voters of ward endorse in all fairness are en- titled to the support of every true demo- crat. The rule or ruin policy is not democratic. Attend the primaries; and after that fall into line and work for the regular ticket.

Character in the Hair.

It is said that Chicago hotell1eeper declares that he can invariably tell what woman's character is by her hair. He claims that the finer the hair the gentler the birth, and that the closer the ends naturally cling together the more intellectually does the owner possess. He says he has found that where the hair tends to curl the owner has inherent grace and poetic ease of body; that straight, unyiefding hair shows a positive nature, and that treachery and jealousy are indicated by lusterless or dead black hair. When the hair is broken or split he says it indicates an unbalanced character, and the lighter the hair the more sensitive and 'touchy" the owner. Brown hair, this man who claims that his asser- tions have been verified by the ob- servation of years asserts, means good judgment and common sense, and red hair, while indicating that its owner is likely to be highly impulsive and quick spoken, yet shows that its possessor is honest and sensible and as a general rule bright and gentle.

The WorId's Fair Opening.

When dawn breaks over Lake Michi> gan the morning of October 21 it will herald the coming of proud day in the history of Chicago. Perhaps it will be the proudest, for then will be dedicated the great worlds fair buildings which have stirred the admiration of men of two hemispheres. It will be the natal day of the enterprise in which every nation on earth will participate, and for which S16, ,OOO,OO will have been ex- pended. Then Chief of Construction Burnham will turn over the completed work for dedication by the president of the United States. The near approach of this time is beginning to awaken in terest throughout the country. Work on buildings is being rushed in order to have them ready, and tho hundreds of thousands of visitors who crowd into Jackson park that day will witness a grand spectacle-a city of marble pal. aces
 Great preparation has been made for these dedicatory ceremonies. It has been the work of many months of citi. zens of Chicago and representatives ot the national worlds fair commission. The plans are almost completed and a festival of three days Is the result
 The celebration will be national and international, for the congress of the United States has so designated it, and all the nations of the earth will par ticipate. No such gathering of dis tinguished people as will meet here has probably ever assembled before in this country.
 Twenty thousand invitations have been issued for the occasion, and ac- ceptanccs are almost unanimous. The first to accept was President Harrison; then followed members of the supreme court, senators, congressman and gov crnors of the states. All these have said they will be here, and from Wash ington will come the representatives o1 every foreign country.
 Aside from the international interests in this fitting prelude to the magnif- cent picture of the worlds progress that will be presented in 1893 the dedi. catory services will furnish an oppor. tunity to behold the extent of the prep arations which are being made for the CxDOS;tiOD

TIE Keeley cure for inebriety does not Ego" in England, where efforts have lately been made to give it foot ing. The most eminent medical au- thorities there condemn its use, and a meeting of the Church of England Temperance society, which had been called to consider the question of in dorsing the cure, has been indefinitely postponed at the suggestion of the doctors. The London Society for the Study of Inebriety follows suit in con- demning it. after having been informed by an analyst that the alleged gold cure shows no trace of gold or of chlorides, and contains 9725 Ser cent of alcohol, which is thought to be hardly the proper preparation for the cure of an inebriate.

TIE old Colorado potato beetle has been almost cXtcrminatcd in Pcnnsyl- vania by hunger. A new and much smaller insect, popularly known as the flea beetle, has appeared in such num- bers that they devour all the foliage on the potato vines, leaving nothing for the former depredators. This insect has been known to entomologists for years, but till recently it has generally fed on weeds growing in the woods. Two or thrcc years ago it began to at tack garden vegetables, aud this season it has taken possession of potato fields The insects multiply very rapidly, pro ducing n new brood every month.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.

NAVAL officials will not talk about it, but from other and perfectly reliable sources it is learned that the strike at Carnegie's Homestead mills is delaying the delivery of armor plates for the naval vessels now under construction at various places to an extent that is caus- ing much inconvenience and which is bound to result in delaying the compile tion of the vessels. This will not inter- fere with or cause any loss to the con- tractors who have built or are building vessels, as the armor plates arc put on by government employees under the di- rection of naval officers detailed for the purpose. And the people pay the freight.

M'NUTT WAS CLUBBED
Outrage on Our Representative
 at Madrid.
A PROMPT APOLOGY RENDERED

Mir. NIacNutC Was Confined in a Filthy Cell
 for Two uours--The Police Officers Dis
 misSed--One Re Instated at the Represen-
 tative's Request.
 LONDON, Aug. 25-The Madrid cores pondent of the ''Ccntral News" sends an account of the arrest of Francis MacNutt, United States Secretary of Legation un- der Minister Grubb, and, since the lat ter's departure, United States Charge dAtfaires. The correspondent tried to send the account by telegraph on Satur- day, but the censors, both in Madrid and San Sebastian, refused to pass it.
 On Friday, while out walking in San Sebastian, NIT. MacNutt entered a public room, but found it so offensive that he retired from it at once. As he stood out side detective in plain clothes came up and reprovcd him for his conduct MT. MacNutt excused himself on the plea that the room was Inbearably filthy. The de- tective replied impudently, and demanded Mr. MacNutts name and address. Think ing the man q swindler, MT. MacNutt re- fused to give either.
 The detective then approached him menacingly as if to strike him. MT. Mac
 
 i've down and then drew his revolver. The detective shouted for help, several policemen responded, and Mr. MacNutt was arrested, making no resistance At the police station he presented his card, explained who he was and demanded that the keeper of the hotel where he stopped be summoned. The police jeered at him and refused to consider his request.
 The warden then led him to large cell, full of thieves, tramps and drunkards and locked him in it. On the way to the cell the warden struck him three times and after getting him inside, clubbed him severely. After two hours confinement Mr. MacNutt was released. The warden refused to apologize and gave MT. Mac Mutt to understand that he might con slider himself lucky to get away so soon. As soon as news of the affair reached the Foreign Office the Minister called upon Mr. MucNUtt and offered full satisfaction The detective, the warden and two police men were dismissed. Mr. MacNutt, upon | learning that one of the soldiers had { | large family, requested that he be rein | stated, and this was done.
 | Among tn" persons who have heard oi | the aliur thVre k only praise for the gooC sense and moderation shown by Mir. Mac l Mutt. Every effort is made by the au thOrit ieS and the members of the United l States Legation to hush the matter up | Mir MacNutt refuses to talk on tn l subject.
