Drawing a Parallel on swindIihg.


It is stated from Washington that Colonel
Andrew Stewart of the Twenty fourth Dis
trct OF this State has filed with the House
Election Committee his bill of expenses
(Which will doubtless be paid in defending
his right to a Congressional seat from the
Lafayette District. His bill amounts TO
S3393 90 of which S21l9 81, he alleges. was

was for about Is months, during which time

entitled to the seat, will also get pay for the

as Stewart did, and will probably bring in q
similar bill for expenses besides. This is

The Reported Murder Of DR.. Sheldon

SAID TO HAVE BEEN KILLED BY INDIANS.
Special to THE MORNING CALI

SEATTLE, May pa Victoria bulletin
lust received says word has reached there
that Dr. Sheldon Jackson and party have
been murdered by the Yukon Indians.
VICTORIA. B. C., May 28.-The steamer
Danube from the north brings additional
particulars Of trouble AMI murder on the
Alaskan borders. For some time past
good deal Of smuggling has been carried on
among the Indians of The district Of Juneau,
and despite every effort on the Part Of the
missionary. Rev. Sheldon Jackson, whisky
was brought In in almost unlimited Quanti-
ties, with the result that drunken braves
and general dissipation and crime were Of
every days occurrence. The missionary
some three weeks ago made determined
effort to capture the rlngleaders of the mis-
chief He had little difficulty 10 fixing his
men, trio whose movements were any
thing but above suspicion. He found that
tie fellows had gone out on an unknown
expedition, and on their return they were
closely watched by the reverend gentle
man and two Indian c0nstables. The party
landed clandes timely from q small sloOp
and were getting a supply Of fTe-wateT
ashore when they were bounced upon and
made prisoners, being bound hand and foot
Mr. Jackson and his two NEE were armed,
and having, as they thought, securely man
acled the prisoners, they retired TO rest.
Fatigued by the long and tedious search and
happy in the thought that the eyiI-doers
were u custody, they were soon asleep.
One Of the Indians captured managed, how
ever, 70 sever the ropes which bound him,
and setting his two companions al liberty,
they stole up to where the sleeping party
lay, and snatehlng up Jacks0n's revolver,
fred with fatal effect. The two constables
appear to have been aroused by the ap-
proach Of the murdeTeTs and reached for
their guns and fred. but the shots were
lodged and a desperate haBd-tO-hand en-
counter ensued, during which the consta-
bles were deprived Of their rifles. One OF
them fed and was pursued. but he made
good his escape. The other was beaten TO
death and the smuggIers took to their craft,
and up 10 date have not been heard from.
The scene Of the murder was within
few miles of Juneau, and the district was
IN a great state Of excitement over the affair
by the last news the Danube could CLEAN.

HOW TIE STORY STARTED.
It Probably Grew Out OF the Killing of
Missionary Edwards.

II Probably Grew Out OF the Killing of
Missionary Edwards.
PoRr TOWNSEND. May 28.-The dispatch
from Victoria, B. c., announcing the muir
der OF Rev Sheldon Jackson, Commissioner
Of Education for Alaska at juneau, is with
out any apparent foundation. Dr.. jackson
left here on May 10 on the revenue cutter
Bear. He was TO go first TO Oonalaska, and
thence to the Northern Mission. Even
II the Bear did put in at Juneau she could
hardly have reached there before the
steamer Danube which brought the intelli-
geuce Of the alleged crime left that port.
The probability is that the killing OF Mis-
siOnary Edwards about two months ago
gave rise to the Victoria dispatch Ed
wards and the Indians were shot while at
tempting to arrest smuggleTs, and the killing
is known to have created a sensation. as
bis brother missionaries insist that it was
eold-bloOded murder and have so reported
20 the authorities az Washington. 1t is
alleged on the other hand that Edwards was
interfering where be had no business.
The Department of Justice has sent Allan
II. Dugal, special agent, TO investigate the
killing Of Edwards and report upon the
facts

VISITING CARDS.
The Size and Shape Now in Vogue and
Their inscriptions.
New York sun


Card etiquette is one of the finest and mos:
delicate tests by which a woman clRssifes
her acquaintance. Its laws are unalter-
able, It's sins of omission or commission
among the few that are absolutely uDpar-
GOnable. This bit Of snowy pastebOard by
which judgment is melted out to you by the
social tribunal must be fine in texture, pure
white in color, a little smaller than those of
last year in size, nearly square in shape,
and have a smooth but uDglazed surface.
The name, engraved in script through the
center of the card, has the address below it
in the righthand corner, the day for receiv-
ing in the left corner.
This name should never inclUde a hus-
bands title or profession, but should spell
out the husbands name in full, aud not be
written with the Initials alone.
A daughter, in the first year Of her social
life, has no card, but engraves her name on
her mothers card. After this probationary
year the eldest or tina only daughter in q
family writes only Miss before her family
name; the younger daughters write the full
name. 1t has been decided that on a
widows card the dear name so long borne,
so hard to Telinquish, NAV be retained with
proprety for social use, though in all prac-
teal matters the widow writes her own
Christian name instead of that Of her hus-
band

Although a large concourse of pleasure
seekers took possession o. the two dancing
halls during the afternoon the major part
OF the crowd gathered around the ring in
which the athletic exercises were being held.
Among the prominent ScOtchmen who
witnessed the contests of athletic skill and
endurance were Mr.. Fyfe, chief of the
Stockton Caledonian Club, and Mr.. Reid,
chief Of the Sacramento CaledOnan Club.
Major Tom MtGreggor came all the way

TEN INNINGS.

The Redondo Boys Suffer Their First
Defeat.
An exciting game was played at Ath-
letic park yesterday afternoon between
Redondo and the Insurance nine. 1t
took ten innings to decide the game,
and victory perched on the banner of
the Insurance contingent. The Redondo
nine, which is semi-professional one,
suffered its first defeat yesterday, and
the Insurance players felt very happy
last night over their victory over the
Redondo tean1. Hart pitched credit
able game for the Insurance men, while
Brant was in the box for Redondo. The
Redondos started out in winning style,
but the home club played capital up
hill game. The score was 2 to at
the end of the ninth. The Redondoa
made one in the tenth, bat it did not
suffice, as the ineurance boys got in
two tallies by hard hitting in their half.
The game was won by score of 8 to 8.
Patrick, Hicks, Welcome and McCrea
did efficient work at the bat, while the
fielding of Printz at short was especially
worthy of mention. Patrick did we'll

billiards without Balls.

According to an eye witness peculiar
incident happened one evening recently
in the billiard room of q hotel at Tacoma,
Wash. The room was crowded and all
of the billiard and pool tables were oc4
'cupied but one. Two gentlemen en-
tered the room attired in full evening
dress. Engaging a billiard table the
boy brought the balls, but the players,
to his utter astonishment, told him they
did not need them. Removing their
topcoats, coats and hats, they took cues
and commenced a mimic game.
They made the customary moves
around the table, studied apparent
plays, made the usual grimaces at
misplays, and regularly counted their
strings. A wondering crowd gathered
about them. They thought the men
were crazy. A funny part of it was
that thoy never smiled, took the guy
ing" of the crowd serenely and, when
the points We're marked up, paid for the
game and unconcernedly walked out
The solution of the mystery was that

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-Roach and
Horner were pitted against one another
this afternoon. On Thursday "Dude"
Horner had the extreme qualification
of shutting out the leaders, while Roach
was swatted all over the field. The
south paw had his revenge today and
the Colonels will long remember the
twirler from the land of orange groves.
Roach was in grand form and struck out
eight men and only one double and two
singles were made off his delivery. His
pitching was simply irresistible. The
Angeleho was given perfect support,
the boys in black and white
& slding with a sharpness and precision
that captivated the local cranks.
''Dude" Horner started in all right,
but the Cherubs had their batting eyes
with them, and poor Horner was lam
basted for fifteen singles and three
doubles before the visitors had got
through the eight innings. 1t was the
greatest slaughter administered to any
pitcher in this city during the present
season. Stafford, Lytle and Tredway
contributed twelve hits between them.

FRESNO, July 16.-Michael Blume,
charged with the murder Of A. P. Has
kins, near Centerville, was held to an
swer by the superior courtjwithout bail,
Friday at Sanger. The same
evening at IL O'Clock, according to
Blume, eight men went to the Jail, eff
fected an entrance, without resistance,
bound his hands with a rope and threw
him into wagon. They took him three
miles to the spot where Haskins was
knocked from a fume, put a
rope around his neck and hanged
him up till lie was insensible
when he recovered, he was asked for
his confession. He said he was inno-
cent and they hanged him till he was
again insensible. They then let him
down, saying they would let the court
deal with him. Taking him
back to Sanger, they put him
in the Jail, locked the door
and left. Before going they threatened
to hang him if he said anything about
the affair. Blume was brought to this
city today. His left wrist was severely
cut by the rope and hand paralyzed.
Physicians examined his neck and
found his windpipe dislocated. His
neck is swollen and he ia unable to hold
his head up. Blume Gays he knows the
men, but will not reveal their identity
yet. The story has gained circulation
