are greater. With less than 100000

when the overflow will stop, but state
they see nothing serious in the situation.

England opposed the scheme. Egypt,
France and De Lesseps favored it. Its
completion was to make Egypt British
province, the Mediterranean an English
lake and the third successor of Said
Pasha British vassal bullied by Bar
ing in his own palace. Aud in De Les
seps it was to foster that fatuous belief
in self that was to work his ruin. Such
is the foresight of the wisest men of all
nations.
The company went to work. 1t was
not great work as such things go, espe-
cially with fellaheen labor. For the lit
tie State of New York to have dug the
Erie Canal; for the little Dominion of
Canada to have enlarged the Welland, or
to have have built the Canadian Pacific,
was commensurately more of an under
taking. 1t was the results that fired a
worlds imagination, the avoidance of
the passage around the Cape, the coast
ing of the vast continent of Africa, the
division of the grandest f grand divis-
ions, the waking of the S1hinx and the
Pyramids and the obelisks to view the
triumphs of modern man-these were
the things that made so spectacularly the
fame of De Lesseps.
By August 18th, 1865, there was water
enough in the ditch to float a light
draught steamer from sea to sea, and by
1867 small ships could pass. On August
10Th, 1869, the Tooth anniversary of the
birth of Napoleon the Great, came his
nephew and his nephew's wife, Eugene,
Empress of France, queen of beauty, arbi-
tress absolute of the fashion of a world,
to see the waters of the Mediterranean
mingle with those of the Red Sea in the
bitter lakes.
De Lesseps might have rested on his
life's work. He was then Ga years old.
But the man seemed to have taken sec
ond lease of life about the time when,
with half century of existence behind
him, he began to lay before the world
'Percement de Tlsthme." He took un-
to himself second wife about the time
that the canal was finished. He talked
of making the Sahara an inland sea, of
piercing the lsthmus of Corinth, of
building a railroad from the Bosphorus
to the Hoogly. Finally, much as our
theatrical managers peck and plan among
various schemes to produce one which
will stun our senses with its magnificence

In March, 1891, VIM. G. French. son
of Il cuergyman, shot and killed his
brother-in-law, G;lirn NJ. Steel, at Ash
land.
French was tried for murder, arrest.
en- and 4 plea of insanity was set up
i'll his behalf. 1t was shown on the
trial that he had met with an injury
on Il railroad some years before and
had suffered from trouble with his head
ever since: that several of his near
relatives had been insane; that he had
been drinking heavily and manifested
some of the symptoms of delerium ire
mems shortly before the shooting; that
he believed Steel and others had con-
Spired to ruin his wife and TO kill him;
that he believed he had been shot ut
and that poison had been administered
disturbed because his wife remained
up till very late hours with Il ledger in
his house named James Dullet promi-
nent in local Y. NJ. G. A. work. This
condition forced him even to drive
Dullet from his house.
The jury at first disagreed on tho
trial. 10 believing French insane and ,
sane. At a second hearing, however,
the jury held him guilty, but strongly
recommended him to mercy. He was
sentenced to the extreme penalty Of
the law, Imprisonment for life ut hard
labor, and is now confined at Waupun.
A writ of error was sued out and ar
gued in the supreme court Tuesday
last and the court is now considering
the matter.
These facts are rccited now because
of the news which is published in the
Ashland Press to the effect that Mrs.
French, the wife of the accused, being
from her marital bonds by
his conviction, was married May 9th
to the same James S. Dukct, whose
named figured i'll the case when it was
tried Mrs. French has children.

MILWAUKEE CAN GET IT.
Henry G. Payne Talks About the Mex
Republican National Convention.

milwaukee,, May 15.-Henry c. Payne,
Wisconsins member of the national
republican committee, is of the opin-
ion that Milwaukee can have the next
republican national convention if she
wants it bad enough to- work for it.
Talking about the matter he said:
''The members of the committee are
favorably disposed toward Milwaukee
and little pressure would get de
cision in our favor, think. From what
I know of the members Of the commit
tee I think there is no doubt that if
Milwaukee will go to work when the
proper time comes she can get the con
vention. She would have to raise a
guarantee fund, of course, and there
would be a great deal of work to be
done, but if the people are willing to
do the work they can have the con-
yention. I think, however, it is too
early to talk aobut it. The time of
the convention is too far away. Any
movement at this early day would
prove premature"

PRICES SLAYER LYNCHED.
Murderer John Terrell Hanged by 9
Mob at Bedford. Ind.

BEDFORD, Ind, May 15.-John Ter
rell, who murdered Conductor l.. f..
Price on a train at Seymour, was
lynched here by mob. Shortly after
9 o'clock hundred determined armed
men appeared at the Jail, forced the
sheriff to surrender the KEYS
and took Terrell from his cell. The
trembling wretch struggled against
the mob and begged for mercy, cring-
ing at the feet of his eXecutionerS and
screaming at the top of his voice. The
executioners were either dumb to his
appeals or cursed him roundly. A
strong rope was thrown over the muir
derer's head and he was soon hanging
from a limb of Il jail-yard tree, The
lynching was conducted in the most
orderly fashion, Tcrrells cries being
the only sounds heard. A guard was
left near the body to prevent
it being touched before daylight.
The body hung in plain view
of passing trains and all trainmen
viewed the dangling body with salts
faction. Forty-three men took part in
the hanging, all of them being masked.
Fifty others stood guard at different
points over the city. If any effort to
bring the lynchers to justice is made
it is thought nothing will come of it,
