PRENDERGAST ARRAIGNED.
The Wretch Brought Into Court I'm a State
of Affect Terror.

of Affect Terror.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Patrick Eugene
Joseph Prendergast. the murderer of
Mayor Harrison. was arraigned in
Judge Horizons court. The court room
was crowded and, when the prisoner
was led in by the jailor the spectators
jumped to their feet. The action ter
rified Prendergast and he crouched
close to the officers. He could scarcely
stand and had to be assisted To his seat.
When the indictment was read Prem
dergast responded nervously: Not
guilty."
Have yor an Attorney asked the
Judge
"No, but l expect to get one" re-
sponded the prisoner, family.
The judge then announced that the
case would be continued to give Prem
dergast an opportunity to secure coun-
sci, and the assassin was led trembling
back to his cell. He had evidently in
tended to make a speech in the court
room but his fear of mob violence re-
duced him to state of abject terror
and he seemed glad to get back to jail.

LIABLE TO ARREST.
People of All Occupations in Danger OF the
Clutch of the Biuecoat.


Not long ago Paul Bourget, who is
supposed to know all about Love as
She is Taught" in Paris and elsewhere,
gave the public an interesting little
exercise in the chances which the var1-
Gus professions and occupations offer
the naked and dimpled little archer for
getting in his bands.
The wise French romancer did not
deal in sugar-coated generalities. He
got down to business and juggled with
figures as glibly as census expert or q
statistician on crime.
Bourget is not alone in his penchant
for figures and vital statistics. He has
the company of no less person than
the general superintendent of the Chr
cago police. The latter has done well,
just as well in fact as Bourget, for the
chance that man or woman stands of
being ''pinched," according to the clas-
sification of the profession, is almost as
vital a kind of statistic as is that show
ing the corresponding likelihood of
being loved. Therefore, the table pre-
scented by the general superintendent
of police showing the number of arrests
for the year ending December 81, 1892,
as classified by occupations, is an inter-
esting one.
The good man of the cloth may say
that this has no direct personal inter
est to him: that it is all very well for
him to study it from the standpoint of
a teacher and a preacher, but that IN
his profession there is not the slightest
possible chance of his suffering the in
dignity of incarceration. But the dead
ly parallel of Chicago statistics of ar
rests puts the preacher on an exact par
with organ grinders, stevedores, bath
house keepers, actresses, errand boys,
dyers, draughtsmen, PAYERS, publishers
and stereotypers. Only two-thirds as
many distillers, midwives, nurses,
millwrights, ropemakers, superintend-
ents, or corpora tions" have been put
down on the station dockets as there
have been ministers of the gospel.
OF course the class which leads the
list in arrests as we'll as in love is the
great mass designated under the head
of mo occupation" OF these there
were 2S, 632 arrested. Following close
upon this number are: Laborers. 49,
75S: housekeepers. 4,26S: transfers,
3,513; clerks, 3,O14; peddlers, 1920: sa-
loon keepers, 1884: painters. 1.l94.
These comparisons are not without
their surprises to the classes concerned.
Dropping into the three-figure column,
bartenders lead the list with 913. fol-
| lowed by merchants to the number of
So. butchers. S22: agents, 7S5; walters,
7S4. and machinists. 793 Actors, who
are nearly at the head in the love-
stricken list, come in for the modest
roll of arrests in the II notch. in close
proximity to the roofers and brass fin
ishers. Withal the comparisons to be
| made in these lists are well calculated
to shock some of the higher profess
sions and give them a more MODEST
opinion of their good behavior and
standing before the law and the pub

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Secretary La

conduct of troops at the opening of the
Cherokee strip There is an accom-
panying statement from Gen. Miles.
The investigation was superintendent
by Col. f. NJ. EIeyl, inspector-general
for the department of Missouri.
The important part of this state
ment is the light it throws upon the
killing of John Il. Hill, of Keansburg,
n j. Hill was in the line which broke
about four r:inutes before IL o'clock,
the time fixed for the opening. Sew
eral soldiers galloped to the front,
calling upon the men to halt, which
was disregarded and the soldiers
began firing. The third shot
fired by Sergeant Willard. Troop C,
Third cavalry, killed Hill. 1t was
shown that the rush was made five
minutes before Il o clock, as Hill was
killed at 1905 and he then was miles
from the Kansas state line.
The inspector says Sergeant Willard
interpreted his orders literally and was

VIENNA, Nov. 4.-There was fierce
fighting here last night 1t was caused
by an attempt of the socialists to in
wade the Ronafcher music hall. The
object of the liberal gathering was
to pass a vote of want of con-
fidence in DIR. kronawetter. the repre-
sentative of Vienna in the reichsrath.
Both sides fought savagely. and the
result was many bloody heads among
the mob, while all the police were
beaten and bruised and their uniforms
torn. The fright caused panic among
the people, and houses and shops were
closed.

EDWARDS BAD BREAK.
The Former Assessor of Kansas City In the
Role of an Attempted Bank Robber-Is

The Former Assessor of Kansas City In the
Role of an Attempted Bank Robber-Is
He Crazy?
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. A special
telegram from Jacksonville, Mo-, says
that Thomas ii. Edwards, who was for
a number of years a well known citi-
zen and official of Kansas City, is under
arrest there on the charge of attempted
bank robbing.
At noon yesterday Edwards went in
to the First national bank. He pre-
scented draft to the assistant cashier,
Maj G. n. Houston, who was alone in
the bank at the time. Maj Houston
told Edwards that as he was stranger
and did not have an account with the
bank he must get some one to identify
him.
Edwards complained of being cold,
and asked permission to warm himself
before going in search of some one
whose Identification would enable him
to obtain the amount the draft called
for. Maj. Houston invited him into
the rear part of the bank to warm him
self at stove. Edwards accepted the
invitation, and when Maj Houston
stopped down to fix the fire Edwards
struck him on the back of the head
with his fist, knocking him down. Ed
wards then jumped upon him and
! kicked and beat him in frightful
manner.
Mai. Houston finally got upon his
feet and ran to his desk, where he OBJ
tanned his pistol. Edwards ran out the
front door, but was soon captured by
some citizens and turned over to an
officer, who placed him n Jail.
The assault upon Maj Houston and
the capture of Edwards created intense
excitement in Harrisonville for awhile.
! Many rumors were soon in circulation
concerning the affair. 1t was said
that Edwards had demanded of
Mai. Houston that h. give him
the cash in the bank and that upon the
refusal of Maj. Houston to comply with
the demands Edwards assaulted him
Another rumor was that Edwards was
one of gang of bank robbers and that
he had begun the plumber of the bank
before his associates in crime arrived
upon the scene. According to the state

/ intend to take the contents of the
/ banks money drawer and vault and
would have done so had not Maj. Hous-

point of his revolver.
Edwards was appointed assessor OF
Kansas City in 1882 and held the office
continuously until April, 1890, when
he was succeeded by George w. Lee
He was elected county assessor in 1SSt
and again in 1855 He was succeeded
I in the latter by the present incumbent,

SOME SENSIBLE DEMOCRATS.

SOME SENSIBLE DEMOCRATS.
The opponents of the re- election of SEN
ator Hswley have been very hard up for
reasons to offer why he should not be re-
turned. They couldn't say he wasn't en-
tirely fit for the place, and they couldn't
gay he was inferior to their candidates. So
they invented some very curious reasons
as curious as any we have ever seen used
in political contest in this State. And
the reasons they invented were as feeble as
they were curious. For instance, 1t has
been said that Senator Hawley should be
rejected because some Democrats and
some Democratic newspapers in this State
have spoken in his favor. Why shouldn't
theya Are they not Interested in seeing
the State well represented in the senatea
Are they not capable of judging in
the matter, and haven't they right to
their opinion, and a right to express iti
We haven't anywhere seen any Democratic
opinion to the effect that Senator Hawley
is admired by Democrats because of his
politics. And Democrats have no reason
to admire him on account of his attitude
and action tow ard their party. But they
recognize his great ability, and they recog
nize the fac. that he is a credit to the
'tate. They know that no Democrat can
be elected, and they want to see the State
as we'll represented as it can be. There
fore they have said what they have said.
Those Republicans who have made their
utterances a reason why Senator Hawley
should te rejected have only made them
selves ridiculous, and have ehown less re-
gard fer the true interests of Connecticut
than has been exhibited by the Democrats
whose words they have misused.

are in, and they draw 1t tightly at the
knees, or thsy show q lot of unintended
stocking, or outline the hips swkwardly.
I know women who just can't sit down
without ones hearing something "give"
somewhere. One cannot give directions
for sitting down. The motion should be
easy, graceful and gentle. One should
melt into the chair and simply be there
with no apparent effort. One should
make a picture of oneself. and yet seem
quite unconscious of it. The figure
should present only curves gracefully and
lightly composed. There should be not
only restfulness in the pose, but a sug-
gestion of equilibrium easily brought un-
der control, and therefore no suspicion
that the whole thing has been an irrevo-
cable slump. You are merely at rest for
the moment. When you wish You will
rise as smoothly, as easily, as gracefully,
as little while ago you sank into the
chair. Study the pose here given. Note
the graceful lines Of the dress, the pose of
the head, the disposal of the hands. Don't
try to copy, but try to realize the trained
grace of the woman who could make
mere sitting down lovely symphony like
that. FLoRETTE.
