At home and ABROAD.
Interesting Late Dispatches by
Telegraph and Cable.
A Villain Makes a Mother Kill
Her Own Son.

Ono of the most dramatic tragedies ever
at the village of Ell Rito New Mexico. Rod
erigo Martinez was stabbed to the heart by
his mother, who, on realizing what she had
done, cut her own throat. The chain of
events which led to this tragic denouement
seems more like the creation OF an magma
tive novelist than the facts which they un-
fortunately are.
The william in this drama of real life was
George Hallston, who fell in love with q
beautiful young woman who was betrothed
to Rodsrigo Martinez. While pretending to
be the friend OF Roderigo he secretly made
love to the girl. She refused to listen to
Hallston's protests OF love.
Martinez having left home on visit, Hall
ston told his mother that he had been assas-
sinated in Mexico. He then wrote to Mar
tinez that his sweetheart was married and
his mother dead, thinking by these means
to keep the young man away and leave the
coast clear for him to renew the woo!ng OF
the young woman.
MARTINEZ however, returned to find that
his sweetheart was unmarried and his mother
alive. Frustrated in his first plan, Hallston
then pursuaded Martinez to give his mother
a surprise by visiting her in disguise. Mean.
while he ran to the mothers house and told
her no would bring the slayer Of her son
to her in few minutes and she should kill
the rascal.
When Roderigo entered the enraged old
woman stabbed him to the heart. A mo-
ment later she found her mistake, and raving
mad, she cut her throat.
The betrothed sprang at Hallston with
dagger, intending to avenge the deaths OF
her lover and his mother, but he darted away
and ESCAPED.

INSPIRATION TO rEApERAscE WORK.

Lady Henry Somerset told Chicago au-
dience how she had first been drawn into
temperance work. She had seen two chill
dren, q boy and a girl, sip wine at their
fathers table, and heard tho guests laugh at
the precocious little ones. She had seen the
boy 60 to drnkard's grave when twenty
years old. but what became Of the girlp
she went on. 1.-The girl was happily mar.
ried and became the mother Of lovely chill
dren. The fatal seed had been sown, how
ever. The young mother became slave to
strong drink. Iprayed with her and wept
with her. She asked me one day II would
be total abstainer il she renounced strong
drink forever. The proposition was g
strange one and asked ,twenty-four hours
for consideration. When saw her again
she said it was too late. I felt that if ] had
given her promptly the answer she should
have received she might have been saved.
To-day her home Is shattered, but I resolved
then to do in the future all that / could for.

In recent address by Judge KmbaD, Of

suit of his experiences as police judge In
the National Capital, he said: "Thers Is
nothing that produces so much crime as
liquor.n He stated that during the year
ended December 81, 1891, there were over
$1,000 cases in the police court something
over Il, 900 in his own court. BE added:
1.-THE only way to stamp out this curse VIII

work among the people" he cited num-
ber of pitif1I cases Of misery and degrada-;
tion brought about by the use OF liquor, aud
said: "The jails are full all the time with
men who are inebriates" he spoke OF the
need of an inebriate asylum, a billfor which
has been introduced in Congress. II tho
drink shops are to be continued in Washing
ton, by ali means there should be an ins-
briate asylum; but we suggest that 1t would
be wiser to close up the drink shops and
therefore to large extent avoid the neces-
sity for an asylum for their victims.
