MISS LULU OURANG-OUTANG.
she Kidnapped n Child and Slowed It
Away In Loft.

Away In Loft.
New YORK. April Capt. Donald
Burns menagerie on Roosevelt street,
where two lions recently got loose and
ate up several other animals, possesses
a big female orang-outang, called Miss
Lulu. She is only two year old, but
stands about four feet high, and has
become so docle that yesterday after
noon Capt. Burns let her out OF her
cage for some exercise.
The captain was called out and his
assistant slid over 10 neighbOring
beer saloon without putting Miss Lulu
back in her cage. She was fastened by
a long chain and had chair to sit down
on and when the assistant returned she
was apparently all right, except that
she had broken her chain and was go
ing around inspecting the other anil
mails with a great deal Of curiosity.
About 6 o'clock Mrs. DAILY, who lives
near the menagerie, came In wildly
searching for her little 3-year-old
daughter Maggie. The child had been
seen 10 enter the open menagerie door
about 2 o'clock, the time when the ou-
rang-outaDg was alone, and the mother
was sure the boa constructor had got
loose again and swallowed her darling.
She wanted the big snake cut open at
once TO see IL the child was not inside
OF II.
Capt. Burns suspected Miss Lulu OF
the mischief, and caught her looking
ND trap-door in the ceiling which led
10 loft above. The ladder was brought
and soon Maggie was found aleep In the
loft. The orang-outang had pnt one
arm around her waist, carried her up
into the left and left her there unharm-
ed, after covering her with some old
blankets. The child cried herself to
sleep, while her captor descended be-
fore the keeper returned. The mother
acquitted the snake, shook her fist a.
the big monkey and started home with
her child, happy woman again.

WORCESTER. MASS. April Mrs.

Ler Of Mechanic and Spring streets ,
took her I5-month-old babe down 10 Mrs.
Amelye Brunette's. on Spring street,
Yesterday, asking her 70 care for her
while she went TO do some shopping.
Mrs. Brunette takes care Of a l0-month.
old baby for her brother, Louis Bcr'
cume. Of Spencer.
The two babies had great timo
Growing and talking 70 each other In
their own uDtutored language, the
younger child lying in cradle. The
other was just able 10 toddle around on
his legs, and could say few simple
words. Mrs. Brunette saw the little
ones amusing themselves, and, thinking
that they were perfectly safe, went
down the cellar 70 get some vegetables
for dinner.
When Mrs. Brunette returned she
was borrifed 20 find the Bercume baby
in the cradle bleeding profusely from
wounds on It's face and head which the
LlyermOre toddler had iDnlcted With
beer mug and an old case knife. Dr.
Fountaine dressed the wounds and said
they we're probably not fatal.
Ii ls supposed the Llyermore child
reached up and got the mug and kniio
from the table. and, bis companion Lot
wanting 70 play with the articles, con-
cIuded he would force them upon bin.
He was unable 70 tell why be committed
the act, and seemed to eni0y the excite

Failed I'm Others.

New YORK, April New light Is
thrown upon the sudden and mysteri-
Gus death OF Col. Elliott F. Shepard by
the discovery that three years ago.
when he sought 70 obtain large
amount Of insurance upon his life, bis
application was rejected by one OF the
big companies of this city on the
ground that he had symptoms OF
Bright's disease.
Ii is said that at the time. during the
spring OF 1890, Col. Shepard endeayored
10 secure about half q million OF life In
surance, and that he was examined by
the EQUITABLE Mutual. and New York
Life Insurance Companies within .
very short interval.
In the Equitable he succeeded 10 OBJ
tainining a policy for 500, 900. but IL Is
said he vas rejected by the Mutual
Life. II is said that the examination
By the physicians resulted In the dis
covery OF epithelial and granular casts
in abundance, which are al almost GER
tain indication Of Brignt's disease.
The strange part Of the affair Is that
the Equitable Life Assurance Society,
whose physicians examined Col. Shep-
ard at the same time. found no indlca-
tlons Of the disease mentioned. but
unanimously passed him, and be OBJ
tained his policy.

TOLD STORIES ON HER.
A Georgia Woman Gives This as the
Reason for Murder.
CALLED HER AWAY FROM DANCE
And Put a Pistol Ball Into Her
Side-The Murderess Warned
Her Victim Not to Talk About
Her Again, But the Warning
Was Not Heeded-The Homi-
eide in Jail and Repentant.

ATLANTA, GA, April 2.-Anna Wood
en- is locked up at the police station
charged with murder. and Hattie Moore
is living dead in little house in Bell
wood from the effects OF pistol shos
fired by the Wooden woman.
The two women were at dance on
Thursday night near the Chemicai
works, which is between the city ana
Bellwood.
The dance was going merrily on when
Anna Wooden asked the woman she al
forwards killed TO step out OF the
house, and the request was readily ac-
ceded TO.
In an instant pistol shot startled
the dancers and Hattie Moore fell with
a bullet in her side.
The woman who had done the shoot
ing then left the place, and was later
arrested and brought TO the police sta
tion, where she has since been kept.
Friday night Miss Moore sent for Po-
liceman Barrett and told him that she
knew she was going to die, and wanted
to make a statement about the shoot
ing.
She then stated that the woman had
called her outside Of the house and shot
her without word OF warning.
Anna Wooden has made statement,
and by her own admission the Killing
was deliberate murder.
Hattie Moore" she said, "told sto-
ries on me, and said my character was
not good, and l heard about it and got
a pistol and went over TO the dance.
"As soon as l saw her told her L
would shoot her II she ever said any
thing more about me.
'In few minutes l heard that she
had repeated the story and called her
out and shot her.
81 was mad, but in a little while l
was sorry for what l had done and
started for the station house to give
myself up"

AN AMERICANS RELIGIOUS BELIEF
Is Nobody's Business, But They Don't
Seem TO Understand that in Austria

Seem TO Understand that in Austria.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2.-Cable
messages from Vienna stating that the
anti-semitic organizations and other
bodies in that city are vigorously pro-
testing against the reception OF Mr..
Max Judd, OF Missouri, Hebrew citi-
zen OF the United States, and native
of Austria, nominated and confirmed as
Consul General TO Vienna, have neces-
sarily recalled the Kelly incident OF
Mr.. Clevelsnd's previous administra-
tion, in connection with that same
country.
The antI-Semitic feeling, It will be
recoiected, played an important part 10
the refusal Of. Austria to receive Min
lister Kelly, and resulted in the practi-
cal suspension of diplomatic relations
between the TWO countries for over a
year. d.
Mr.. Anthony II. Kelly, a citizen, OF
Richmond, Va, was first selected by
President Cleveland and his Secretary
of State, Mr.. Bayard, as Minister To
Itaiy, but was declared persona non ord-
tn by the King of Italy on account OF
some very strong opinions be had pub
licly expressed as TO the overthrow OF
the temporal power Of the Pope by the
Italian government. ResIgning rs Min
lister to Italy, on this objection being
made known, Mr.. Kelly was almost i'm
mediately nominated as Minister to
Austria. Here another and equally IA
tai objection was encountered. MIR. Nc
Lane, then our Minister to France,
cabled Mr.. Bayard, May %, 1855, that
Mr. Keilly's position in Vienna would
be difficult, II not impossible. In conse-
quence OF the fact that his wife was a
Jewess."
To this intimation Mr.. Bayard re-
piled that Mr.. Kelly had already
sailed and that "the United States
could not constitutionally admit, con-
slider or discuss any supposed disquali-
ficatlon OF its officers, based upon re-
ligion." The upshot of the whole affair
was that Mr.. Kelly was sent TO Egypt
as one Of the judges Of the Information
al court there, which position he still
retains; that the Austrian minister In
Washington was given indefinite leave
OF absence, and that the United States
did not appoint another minister to
Austria until the government OF that
country itself made the first advances
more than twelve months afterward.
In view Of these facts standing out so
prominently in the diplomatic corre-
spondence OF the United States, 1t is
being asked whether the selection OF
Hebrew citizen OF the United States
for the important position OF Consul
General I'm Vienna was intended TO re-
new the former cause OF discussion or
whether 1t was merely an accident

A Lecture by the President Of the
Russian American League.
NOT A TREATY WITH A PEOPLE,,
But With a Class-It Makes IL
Possible for the Russian Gov
ernment to Extradite Persons
Wanted for Any Sort of Politi-
cal Crimes-Passports Must be
Forged, and Forgery is Extra
ditable.

New YORK. April "A lecture on
the Russian american treaty was de-
liyered tonight by Nicholas Aleimlkof,
Chairman OF the Executive Committee
of the Russian-American National
League.
The lecturer, who was student at
Keif, In Southern Russia, spoke OF the
treaty both from a Russian and an
American standpoint, and especially OF
its effect In relation TO political Of
fences.
The clause relating 10 political Of
fences he said, was unilatera! and was
OF no benefit 10 this country, but would
only benefit the Car.
Ii was not treaty that ought 10 be
legalized by America. The Russian
reyolutionists had never been assasins
or murderers, but had at all times been
driven to terrorism by the action and
treatmens Of the Russian autocracy.
II the treaty was accepted by the
American government, Russian political
offenders would be thrown into tho
same category with the criminal Of
tenders Of that country.
Under the proposed treaty forgery
was made crime. IL person In Rus
sia was at all hostile TO the government
he would have 10 forge passport TO
get out OF the country, and. without
having committed any other offence,
would be extradltable.
Many OF the advanced thoughts were
offensive TO the Russian government
and as soon as discovered the thinker
was usually spirited away and his
friends never heard OF him again.
Schools In Russia were closed IL 10
was found that the teachings were more
advanced than were allowed by the gov.
ernment.
1t would be unworthy OF the govern
ment and the people OF the United
States to aid in the barbarons practices
OF the Russia autocracy, which II was
maintained were morally incompetent
to try the revolntIonists whom their
own despotism had created. The treaty
was treaty, not with people bot
with class.

Daughter TO Marry an Earl.

Daughter to Marry an Earl.
New YORK, April 2.-The invitations
for the wedding Of Miss Cornelia Mar
tin to the Earl of Craven have not yet
been sent out, neither have all the ar
rangements been completed. In
all probability it will be the
most brilliant wedding ever seen
in New York, and quite as interesting
as any event CT the kind, not only on
the account Of the rank OF the BRIDE
groom, but also owing to the youthful
ness OF the bride, who will lack more
than six months OF being seventeen
years old on her wedding day.
The wedding presents already re-
ceived by the bride-to-be are msgnif-
cent. All the titled relatives et Lord
Craven have been most lavish with
their gifts. Some beautiful jewels have
been given by members OF the Craven
family, but nothing more superb than
the collarette Of diamonds, which is the
gift of the dowager Countess OF Craven,
sent to the youthful bride OF her favor
ite grandson. Lady Craven is past her
eightieth year, and this magnificent Of
fering, one of her own wedding pres
ents, set with the rarest and most per-
feet old Indian diamonds, was for many
seasons the talk Of London.
The brides grandmother, Mrs. Isaac
Sherman, has given her a necklace COM
posed of three strings OF splendid pearls,
each carefully selected and all beauti-
fully matched. Mrs. Bradley Martins
gift to her only daughter is tiara OF
diamonds Of perfect Indian stones and
exact COPY Of that once worn by the
Empress Josephine. The principal
stones are set so that they swing with
every movement.
Lady Coventry and Lady Codogan,
aunts of Lord Craven, and his mother,
Lady Craven, have given quantity OF
fine silver.
Mrs. Brockholst Cutting and her sons
Messrs. Brockholst and William Cut
ting, Jr., gave ring set with three
splendid solitaire diamonds.
The wedding. as has already been an
nounced, will take place in Grace church
on Tuesday, April IS, at noon. The Rev,
DIR. VIM. r. Huntington, rector OF the
church will perform the marriage cere-
mony. and Bishop Potter will pro-
nounce the benediction. While the in
vitations TO the church will be general,
the wedding breakfast will be limited
20 relatives and most intimate friends.
The Earl and his bride will sail for
England by the end of May, when his
mother will introduce the new Countess
OF Craven to London society.

WAR ON ARGENTINA.
Chill and Brazil Said TO be PreparIng.iN~-
Joint Action.


New YoRK, April 2.-The Herdids
Valparaiso correspondent says: Com
ment is being made upon the long visit
TO Chilli OF leading officer OF the Bra
lillian army. He is here ostonsibly
studying the Chiian tactics, but the
cordiallty with which no has been re-
ceiyed, and the ease with which he
gains information has led TO the belief
that his real mission Is 10 sound the
government on the subject OF form
Ing an alliance between Brazil
and Chill I'm the event OF the former
becoming involved In a war with Argen-
tina. A war with Argentina is not
improbable and Is not far of, judging
from the insolent attitude which tho
government OF that republic has as
sumed towards Brazil. She has given
aid 10 the revolutlonlsts OF Rio Grande
do Sui, and is imposing needless quaran-
tine restrictions against Brazil. These
aud other acts calculated 70 iniiame tho
citizens OF the two republics, have not
been without result. The war feeling
I'm both countries is pronounced. IL is
stated that the Brazilian government Is
negotiating with the ArmstroDgs for
the construction OF war ships OF type
similar 10 the cruiser which is being
built for Argentina. Orders have also
been made that greater haste be ex'
erted in shipping the rifles for which
Brazil recently made contracts.
