''Michael took offense because you
were too easily contented, and one word
followed another?" said Uncle Wake.
''Yes." Olive considered for mo-
ment, and then repeated all that she
could remember of the conversation.
Afterwards silence fell upon them
both, and the roll of wheels in the
Strand sounded but family in their ears.
It was Olive who broke the pause.
''If could only believe that this was
merely difference of opinion, and not
difference Of spirit, I should be cas-
Ter, she said. '.But Michael seems to
think that my ideal life is an absurd
dream. He cannot realize any kind of
happiness that is not founded on self

any Joy outside himself. Oh, how hor-
rible it seems to say these things about

She was, in some respects, a different

She was anxious and remorseful in an
instant, ready to blame herself for not
having seen that he was suffering. She
had been wrapped in a happy dream
under the trees, and all the while he
had been sitting by her side, feeling
weary and i'll! And then she had wor-

A CHINESE cAUsE CRLEBRE,

Nest of our readers will remembers the
case of the Chinaman Wong Ark, who
was tried here for murder some time
last year. He brought countrywoman
OF his down here from San Francisco,
and, it was oil aged on the trial, married
her. One night, in front OF the Chinese
tbeater, pistol shot was fred, and the
attention of the crowd was directed to a
woman lying on the sidewalk, mortally
wounded. 1t was the wife of Wong Ark.
Before che died she stated to Officer
Rohn, who came to her assistance, that
it was Wong Ark who had fred the
deadly shot, but, before he could be
arrested, the woman was dead.
When the trial came on, the criminal
did not lack for money or friends. Like
Muiaoon. in the cong, he was "a man Of
great in-few-ence.' Witnesses without
number swore in his behalf, with view
of establishing an alibi, but the jury
disagreed on the fret trial. On the Sec
one trial he was convicted and sentenced
to imprisonment for life, but his counsel
took appeal TO the supreme court, from
which tribunal a decision was received
ON Monday.
This opinion reverses that of Judge
Mckinley of the superior court, before
whom Wong Ark was convicted, and re-
mands the cause for a new trial. This
is done upon two errors OF the court be-
low, the first being that the court erred
IN admitting the testimony of the officer
in rehearsing the statement of the
woman that Ark had shot her. The
second error was in denying peremptory
challenge on account of actual bias. Mr..
Justice Garoutte has given concurrine
opinion that the section of the penal
code, which denies an exception to the
ruling of the court upon actual bias, is
unconstitutional.

A rERRIBLE AFFRAY.
Two Men Killed In Bloody Encounter
at Bloomington, Ind.

=
at Bloomington, Ind.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Sept. IA terri
BILE affray occurred at Payne, this coun-
ty, at o'clock this morning, in which
two men were killed, one at the hands
OF his son-in-law, and the other by the
enraged daughter OF the first vic
tim. Shortly after midnight Richard
Wright and his daughter were awak-
ened by q shout short distance from
them. Recognizing the voice as that oi
the old mans son-in-law, Dole Judah,
the old man went to the door and started
toward the fence, when shot was fred
by Judah.
Wright ran into the house, secured
an ak, and started toward Judah, and
terrific scuffle ensued. The old man
was shot three times, once in the head,
and twice in the neck. During the
struggle, and while judah was on
Wright, the old man called for his
daughter to knock Judah off with an ak.
The daughter secured an ak, and just
as Judah shot the last time, she struck
him terrific blow on the back OF the
head, killing him instantly. Both men
lay dead on the grass. Judah was in
Bloomington last night. drinking heav-
lily. He had trouble with his wife
that afternoon, and it is supposed he
went to her fathers with the intention OF
killing the old man and also his wife,
but the wife was not there. Wright was
about 60 wears old and Judah 50 years,
and hard character.

A RIFT IN THE CLOUDS.

There is no doubt OF the fact that Ben
jamin Harrison, the present occupant of
the White House, has a full apprecia-
ton of the injunction of Cardinal VOL
sey to Cromwell, and which runs 'first
to thyself be true" 1t must be con-
ceded that this diminutive gentleman
has high and mighty sense OF his own
personal Importance, and anything that
he has done, or in which he has partici-
pated, has seemed to him of special
weight and moment. He returns to his
force bill fasco like dog to his vomit.
1t is impossible to rid this member of
the political .fantoccini Of the idea that
anything that has once pleased him
must necessarily be in the natural evo-
luton of the American people. Never
theless it would seem hardly possible to
man of ordinary common sense that
any man, president or tidewaiter, should
be fatuous enough to think that such a
reactionary measure as force bill-the
abortive outcome of the imbecile malice
of the dandified Lodge in the house, and
OF the senile Hoar in the senate-should
ever, under any circumstances, be ac-
ceptable to the people of the United
States. The spectacle of modern
and enlightened nation returning
to the methods of worse than Russian
despotism will never be accorded to
him. And yet our minim president
cannot willingly surrender his cherished
project of re-enslaving the southern
people. There is one thing that breaks
the dreary, self-glorifcatory refrain
which characterizes the letter of accept.
ance, and that is where the president
has the grace to tender his thanks to
the Democratic members of the foreign
affairs committee of both houses in all
our embroglios with foreign powers. OF

The Rev. Mr.. Campbell, who found
it necessary to denounce the frauds
which characterized the Republican
primaries in Los Angeles, found that he
was not q welcome guest on the plat
form of the Republican convention yes
terday. He had been slated to make
the opening prayer on the assembling OF

courtly Chairman Murphey was obliged
to go inform that enthusiastic and

'continently thereupon stepped down

of the campaign, however, with oblique
references TO "allueions."

The lengthy resolutions of the Repub-

Hon. J. Mem. Shaiter died the other
day. 1t was thia gentleman of happy
memory and neat aptitudes of speech,
who described political platforms as
"molasses spread out to catch fies."
There is great truth in this outgiving,

een made in this whole business. It
was unwise, in the first place, to have
failed to make the enomination at Fresno
when the state convention was in ses-
zion. In our opinion, there has not
been time in years when the oppor-
tunity of securing Democratic cou-
gressman was better than it is today.
We have undoubtedly damaged our
chances byour hesitation and cowardice,
but they are still good, aud good DEM
