Pictures Of Murderers.

It has been a great many years
since attention was first attracted
to the curious theory which insists
that the last efforts of vision are
permanently impressed upon the
retini of the eye after death. Dozens
of extraordinary experiments have
only served to strengthen this opin-
ion, the latest being the trial test
before DR.. Gamgee, F. r. s., Birm-
ingham, England, and Professor
Bunsen, the subject being the COM
mon hare or rabbit. The course
taken was very simple, IS we'll as
surprisingly effective, and proves
beyond question Of doubt that there
is a great field opening to the de-
tective of the future, who will de-
tect murderers by the photographs
left upon the retini of the eye OF
the victim.
The modus operandi of Gamgee
and Bunsen is as follows: The hare
was taken into a dark room and it's
head covered so as to exclude any
possible ray Of light. After being
kept in this way for q few moments
(long enough for the pupil of the
eye to relax and open to its full
extent) the poor creature was in.

Fear Of Death.

death. A sense of suffication and
q certain vague yet appalling hor-
ror seize upon the imagination
whenever we attempt to realize for
ourselves what the experience Of a
last breath must be. It seems to
US that life must go out with a
wrench-that at the moment of dis
solution, when the soul takes its
flight from the body, the severance
must be indescribably oppressive
and distressing. All their lives long
many people, and among some of
the best and godliest, have shrunk
from a contest with the grim mon
ster" as he threatens to open the
dark and narrow house for their
entrance and disintegration into
dust. It will, however, be a COM
fort to most Of US to learn, first, as
to physical death, that physicians
and others tell US the mere act of
dying is not after all so painful and
awful as is usually supposed. In
deed, this fear of dying seems to be
kindly disposition of nature, or
rather of our Creator, designed to
spur US onward ip using all possi
Bile means to preserve life. But dy-
ing may not be half 80 disagreable
as the suffering occassioned by a
burn, or the twinges of neuralgia, or
a singing blow. A writer in one
of our foreign contemporaries gives
an interesting account of his hav-
ing been nearly-we had almost
said quite-drowned by skating in
to an air-hole, where he was thrown
under the ice, until he became un-
conscious and passed through all
the sensations that person would
experience in being actually
drowned. He says: THE know
ledge that / have thus once expert
enced in my own person exactly
what death is, and tried it fully,
has great deal to do, I think, with
my utter physical indifference to it.
| know how it feels; and though it
is momentarily uncomfortable, it
isn't half SO bad as breaking your
arm or having tooth drawn. In
fact, the actual dying itself, as dy-
ing, is quite painless; as painless
as falling asleep" Nor is this
strange experience. Men who have
been hanged by lynchers until in
sensible and to all intents dead,
though cut down and resuscitated,
bear the same testimony to the pain
lessness of death. The victim of q
California mob who had been
strung up twice and twice allowed
to return to life again, described
his sensations when losing con-
seriousness "as momentarily enjoy
able followed by painless passing
into nothingness." Others have
been recalled from death-like
frances, or restored from insensibil-
ity occasioned by fall from
building or otf1sr neignt, TO give
substantially the Same evidence.
Death comes indeed very often as
if it were merely the gentle and
soothing approach of needed sleep;
and all through the New Testament
the departure Of the saints is
described as failing on Sleep"
The idea ola dreadful and agoniz-
ing struggle is thus taken away,
and is replaced by that of sweet
and beautiful rest.-Christian at
Work.

paid out in creating the Worlds
Fair than the directors thought
would be necessary to compel it
when Congress voted to send the
exposition to Chicago. Ten million
dollars was thought to be the limit
then. Auditor Ackerman's report,
issued December 9th, shows the ex-
penditures to December 1st have
been $2,460,235 81. Tho receipts
have been. $13,229, ,451 98. The
available balance on hand December
1st was 1886, ,O68 33, about enough
to last two weeks at the present rate
of expenditures. But the souvenir
coins are coming soon, and the di-
rectors have nearly 81, ,000, 600 yet
in exposition bonds from which no
cash has been received, so the ma
chinery will be kept we'll creased.
The story of the Worlds Fair is
poorly told in figures. Many fea-
lures of Auditor Ackerman's report,
however, are interesting. The sum
of S., ,959, 500 has been pledged, and
from these pledges $433, ,989 40 has
already been realized. The holders
Of 1928 shares, or $5,117 ,250,
have paid their stock in full, the
balance of subscriptions being in
different states of completion. Five
million dollars in bonds pledged by
the city Of Chicago has been paid
in to the last dollar, and the last of
that magnificent donation was ex-
pended several months ago. Of the
issue of 100000 of the Worlds
Fair bonds $2,125,O00 have been
converted into cash and most of the
proceeds have been poured with a
princely hand into Jackson Park.
1t is worthy of remark, in noting
the receipts of the exposition, that
$171, 1852 have already been received
in gate receipts, which means that
since last May nearly zoo, 600 peo-
pie have paid to get in the grounds
and observe the marvellous growth
of the white city. Thousands of
visitors went in on passes in addi-
ton to those who left their coin at
the turnstiles. The announcement
six months ago that money would
be paid out from that date to the
opening of the exposition at the
rate of 81 600, 600 a month was dis
credited by many who read the
statement. It is possible that one
or two months showed a total
slightly below that mark, but the
general average brings the monthly
payroll far above it. During Octo-
Der the expenditures were 81 1885,
536 Oh, while during the month of
November Treasurer Seeberger paid

the jaw, where, in other animals
teeth are found, is so hard and
tough that the turtle can crush the
bones of the hand to pulp, but as
for biting off even a finger, the feat
is, to the turtle, an impossibility.

Utah's System of Government Arraigned.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The Senate CON-
mittee on territories this morning gave
another hearing to the delegation from
Utah in favor Of The Senate DILL to give
Utah the right of self-government. c. c..
Richards, lawyer of Ogden, said under
the present system the Utah commission
was not responsible TO the people in any
way. Richards accused the commission of
appointing persons of doubtful RESPONSE
bility as registers and Judges of election.
which resulted in the preparation of the
boldest frauds. Continuing, Richards
said the condition OF affairs was such as
might have been expected from the hands
of strangers. The commission from the
time IL first came into Utah until now never
lost an opportunity to deprive
people Of their sacred right and
when protest was made they
rushed before the people of the country
with some hideous nightmare to arouse
public prejudice against the people of the
territory" At this point Senator Davis
said, do you mean by that that Senators
Ramsey and Paddock have been engaged in
that sort of work"
1--WE do most decidedly" said Richards.
Speaking upon the judicial system, he said,
1.-THE people looked upon the courts as enc
mics rather than friendly arbitrators He
denied polygamy existed in the territory
and thought the people were as law abiding
as any in the country. They were entitled
to local self-government like other states
and territories, and all they asked was a
trial. If they were found incompetent to
govern themselves, then Congress could
again take the matter in hand.
f. S. Richards, of Salt Lake city, also
addressed the committee in favor of the

LONDON, Feb. 13.-The Salvationists of
London. and, in fact, all parts of the king
dom, took occasion to-day to show their
love and loyalty to General Booth, who
has just arrived in England after a long
visit to Austria and India. For several
days past the Salvationjsts have been
pouring into London for the purpose
of taking part in the procession to
be given in his honor. There was
an immense gathering in Hyde Park.
Booth arrived at the Marble Arch at 3
o. clock and was the recipient of an ovation
that became almost riotous in its demon
strations. Booth, accompanied by Mrs.
Tucker, his daughter and her husband, was
in an open carriage. The carriage was sur
rounded by squad Of mounted police
and followed by crowd Of hooting
and yelling hoodlums. The procession of
Salvationisls which Booth reviewed was q
mile long and in it were cars emblematic of
his travels in foreign lands. After the line
all passed in review, Booth was driven
back to the headquarters of the army The
whole route taken by his carriage was
filed by an enthusiastic crowd.

Blaine vs.. Blaine PRACTICALLY Settled.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Feb. l3.-The fam
Gus divorce case Of Blaine VS.. Blaine is
practically settled. The defense will not
put in an appearance, and decree will be
granted Mrs. Blaine by default. This
afternoon Judge Palmer, attorney for
Mrs. Blaine, received notice from Nc
Carly, attorney for Blaine, of an
order issued by Judge Thomas asking
him TO show cause why the answer
OF the defendant should not be stricken out.
Defendant, so says the judges order, has
disobeyed every order of the court and is
now in contempt for having failed to pay
the suit fees and alimony. The order was
returnable on the 10th, but the time
will be extended to the 18th. The
order also asks for an immediate trial At

Silver Mem Pushing Their Sin.

WASHINGTON, Feb 13.-The silver men
have secured about one hundred and
twenty names to their petition asking that
the silver bill be made special order in
the House. There are large number of
members absent from the House, and for
this reason there are many members to
whom the petition has not yet been pre-
sented. About fifteen of those TO whom
the petition was handed declined to sign it
on one ground or another. Some thought
it giving undue prominence to the silver
issue and making it paramount to the
tariff question; others thought it might
embarrass the speaker. The silver mel
are confident of their ability to secure con-
sideration for the bill. They are de-
termined to put every man in the House
on record on the question. There is sen
timent among many members of the House,
including some unques toned free coinage
men, in favor of an early report of the
tariff bills from the ways and means com
mittee and keeping them before the coun-
| try to prevent giving undue prominence to
| the silver question.

UNION PACIFIC MEN.
The Grievance Committees Con-
tinue Their Joint Sessions.
Pressing Sehedules-The Chief Complaint is
the Lack Of Stable Method of Inter-
preting the C0mpsny'5 Rules.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 13.-TSpecial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. Tho Union Pacific
grievance committees continued their Joint
session to-day. The committees are said
to be carefully revising tn cir schedule aud
reducing the scope of it's demands. Messrs
Clark and Morrisey, their grand officers,
are experts in schedule making and are
lending valuable assistance. Fully cogni-
zant OF the difficulty of getting conce
sion from the railroad company, they are
pressing the schedule OF non essentials and
when they go before the Union Pacific Off
Gals it will be with a reasonable grievance
which they believe cannot be denied re-
dress.
Zone of the chief causes of complaint
among the Union Pacific trainmen is the
lack Of stable method OF Interpreting
the rules Of the company" said a me 2 Der
OF one OF the grievance committees. This
is partly due to the innumerabIe changes
among officials. On my division, during
the past i've years, there have been eight
roadmaster5, five or six assistant super
intendelts, ana four or five superinIen-
dents 1t is no wonder that there is frie-
ton with such management as that. For
example, the company, sometimes gets too
many locomotives at one end of a division
and then it becomes necessary to eJualizs
power. Train crews are frequently
dead-headed on passenger trains to the
| opposite end of division, in
order to take trains that are make
| up to get locomotive back to where thew
are most needed. That is called eoualizina
power and under the rules the traInmen
are entitled to half pay for the time used
/ in going TO take such train. 1t rests with
| the company's operating officials to say
whether or not the movement of employees
| is made to equalize power and the men
complain that some of their superintendents
are unfair and abuse their power 1t is
not the fault of the trainment that locomo-
tives become so badly distributed, and
when they are ordered to give their time to
correct sucn encouragement they ought
to have pay for it."

Carlisle as Presidential Candidate.


[SpeciaI to TIE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
New YORK, Feb. ia Herald special
from Washington says: Another bit of
political gossip that has come to the surface
within the past few days is to the effect
that concerted movement is now on foot
to bring about the nomination of Senator
John G.. Carlisle, Of Kentucky, at the
Democratic national convention. The
movement had its inception with number
of Mr. Carlisle's senatorial associates, the
more active of whom are Vest of Missouri {;
Morgan, of Alabama; and George, of Mis-
sissippi. 1t also includes little coterie of
Representatives from the south and west.
Senator Vest has recently said that
Colonel William r. Morrison, of Illinois,
would be very acceptable to him, but it is
understood that be does not think Colonel
Morrison can secure the nomination and
that he has been led to believe that Mr..
Carlisle can. A number of letters have been
written to leading Democratic politicians
in the west, northwest and southwest,
asking if they would cooperate in working
up Carlisle boom. Mr.. Carlisle himself
| is taking no action in the matter, but he is
cognizant of all that is being done in his
interest, and is in hearty sympathy with it
The argument advanced for Mr.. Carlisle's
nomination is that neither Hill nor Cleve
land could be nominated without fight sc
bitter as to endanger the success of the
ticket. the better plan is to go to the west fol
a presidential standard bearer. Mr.. Car
isles friends do not believe he is enough
of southern man to create
prejudice against him in the soutl

LONDON, FEB. l3.-Tn the course of long
article the Spectator says: The retirement
OF Blaine from the position of candidate for
nomination for President of the United
States has brought the presidency into
special prominence. The Spectator thinks
Blaine's friends in the Republican conven-
ton will not allow Mr.. Harrison to be re-
nominated. The Republicans, the Spectator
says, have an idea the dark horse is Robert
T. Lincoln, Anne rican minister to Great
Britain, and that he would prove the most
formidable candidate they could choose.
1t aods this TACT is already widely
recognized. The Spectator deprecates the
annoyance Americans often show because
of Epgland's interest in the presidency
and says the English have no desire to in
fere, but in the case of so near relation
they cannot help taking an interest. The
Spectator concludes: ''No European sue
cesson is OF half such Importance to us.
The people of this country, despite their
shyness and consequent appearance Of
churlishness, are sincerely proud of Amer
! lea and they are anxious she should choose
well. They do not desire as Americans
