At Metropolis, ILL.,, Friday, Richard
Shoemaker shot and killed George
and Richard Lukins, brothers and
desperately wounded Richard Lukins,
Sr., their father, and then turned his
pistol on himself, dying almost imme-
diately. Richard Lukins, Jr., married
Shoemaker's step-daughter, Miss Lii
liam Jones, some three years ago.
Shoemaker was Miss Jones' guardian,
and upon her marrige he was called
upon for an accounting. Seemingly
he ran through with large sum left
her by her father. Suits were brought
in the courts and a bitter feel
ing resulted. Friday evening Shoe
maker, armed with two large re-
volvers, walked t, tie gate of Richard
Lukins, Jr, and finding the two young
men standing in the yard, opened fire,
shooting George in the right temple
and sending bullet through Richards
heart as he was holding his babe in
his arms. Shoemaker then entered
the yard and fired shot after shot into
the quivering bodies. Richard Lu-
kins, Sr., hearing the firing, ran to the
scene of the trouble, only to be met by
the murderer who opened fire On him,
shooting him through the thigh. By
this time crowd was gathering, and
Shoemaker ran a couple Of squares
and sitting down sent bullet into his
abdomen, and was dead in few min
utes.

The Chinaman In the Household.

AS servants the Chinese are very
capable in many respects and very
undesirable in others. They never
gossip about the affairs of family
that employs them. They learn
whatever it is desired they should
know, acquiring skill with apparent
ease by means of their wonderful
power Of imitation. They are per-
fectly willing to do every sort of
housework, and the average servant
will act as cook, chambermaid, laun-
derer and waiter all for one salary.
They cannot bear to be ordered
about by women. They will take any
amount of scolding or fault finding
from a man and none from woman.
In two cases of which 1 heard the
Chinese servants chased their mis-
tresses out of their houses with axes.
A very veXatious thing is that they
never give warning when they are
going to leave a place. They sud-
denly announce, Me want to CO."
and the utmost questioning is not
likely to elicit any more than Mo
want to go; me tired. Julian Ralph

JUGGLING WITH FIGURES.
A Misleading Proclamation Issued
by ythe Chinese Authorities.

A letter recently received at the
state department from Mr.. DENLY, the
United States Minister to China, was
accompanied by proclamation issued
by the Chinese authorities, in which
was stated that 100000 Chinese, who
have returned to China from the
United States during the past year,
would be prevented by the law from
again entering this country.
An investigation by the treasury
department has developed that since
1888 less than $1,000 Chinese have re-
turned to their native country, and the
exageration of the proclamation is
still more apparent when taken in
consideration with the well known
fact that only small proportion of
Chinese leave this country with the
intention of returning.

him, and the treasure house once
opened they will wander at will un-
til they shall become hopeless cynics-

Gentlemen Il would indeed be

a candidate to represent the counties
of Montgomery and Menefee in the
next General Assembly. That SO
many of my fellow-citizens have uni

expression to their partiality in terms
so fattering, stirs my heart with feel
ings of profound gratitude. While no
office can enhance the pride 1 feel in
the possession of this evidence of your
confidence, I cannot lightly disregard
so generous an expression of your de-
sire that 1 shall serve you, and so lib
eral pledge of support.

whom will support. 1 think the

a contract has been made for 9200

Nearly, if not all of the very early
strawberries have some fault which
renders them undesirable to grow for
family use. Either they are uot pro-
ductive, they are small and insipid in
flavor, or they do not keep their ber-
ries off of the ground. The medium
early and the late are better for home

sEcEDEs FROM HIS CHURCH.
A Clergyman Disguised With the Out
come Of the Briggs Case.

Albany, N. Y, June 4.-Rev. DIR. James
Ecob Of the Second Presbyterian church
in this city, in his morning sermon to-day,
renounced his allegiance to the Presby-
terian denomination because of the decis-
ion of the general assembly in the Briggs
case. DIR. Ecob's church is one of the
most influential in the city, and has a con-
gregation made up of the most intelligent
men in the city.
After reviewing the action of the gen
eral assembly he arraigned that body and
said: II leave the Presbyterian church
because ithas taken on a garment that
has lain buried in the grave for more than
two centuries. 1t smells of earth and
with death" He then said very dramat-
ically: 81 brush it off forever"
He gave his reasons for leaving, saying
that he considered that further battling
of the questions would be but guerilla
warfare, with but little hope for success
for the minority. He characterized the
general assembly as the ''most intolerant,
bigoted and reactionary body of all the
religious denominations"
