made up his mind to make, but lacks
the backbon to do without some excuse
to those who have taken stock in the
pretended devotion OF the administra-
ton to civil service reform.
The Supreme Court heard arguments
in a case ivolving the Constitutionality
Of the Geary Chinese exclusion law this
week, and it is expected that decision
will be handed down early next week.
Ii statements made here have any truth
in them it dosen't make much difference
how the court decides the question, as
no serious attempt is to be made to carry
that portion Of the law which says all
unregistered Chinese shall be returned
to the country from which they came,
The investigation OF the weather
bureau has closed, but it will be week
or ten days before the report OF Assist
ant Attorney General Colby, who con-
Quoted it, will be made. 1t was 'Gtem-

Blown into the Air.

GENEVA, ILL.,, May 17.-With a roar
heard three miles away and conclusion
that shook every house and shattered
half the windows in town, the plant OF
Charles l.. Pope's glucose works blew
up this afternoon. Seven men were in
stantly killed and one slightly injured.
The cause of the explosion is unknown.
1t occurred in the third story near the
generator, which was not in use to-day.
The explosion blew out the entire west
side of the building, hurting bricks and
machinery fully 100 feet from the build
ing. A wild panic ensued among the
IS employees at work when the accident
occurred and several sustained severe
bruises in their mad rush to escape,
Many jumped from the second story to
the ground or adjoining sheds. Charles
L. Pope, head of the concern, said to
night his loss was abott Sl5O,OOO, and
while he carried fire insurance he had
no accident policies.

Almy Will Sin no More.

CONCORD, n. H, May l6,--George d..
Abbott, alias Frank C. Almy, was hanged
here this morning for the murder of
Christie Walden.
The crime for which Abbott, better
known under his alias of Almy, died
was one which stirred New England to
the depths. The story of tue mans life
is one of lawlessuess from Childhood
He came of an old and well-known fam

for burglary, his disgrace driving his
father to suicide. After serving a term
he appeared to reform, but was in reality
director Of the operations of large gang

reign of terror in the north. He was
caught after the fight ard sentenced to

a while, but returned, and under the
name of Amy engaged work as a farm

hand on the farm of Andrew Warden,
near Hanover. Here he met ard became
infatuated with Warden's eldest daugh-
ter Christie who did not reciprocate his
affections. His time expired April l.,
1891, and be was not re-engaged. I'm
able to get other work, he finally went
into hiding in Warden's barn,
On the night of July Is, 1891, as Mrs,
Warden, her two daughters and neigh
Dor woman were returning home along
lonely road, Amy appeared suddenly
before them with a cooked revolver,
seized Christie and terrified the others
with the weapon except the younger
sister, who risked her life and stood her
ground, though shot at several times.
Amy finally managed to drag his vic
tim into the woods where he shot her to
death. Then he md in the barn and re-
manned there for a month before his dis
covery. Then a posse surrounded the
barn and after a siege of 10 hours, dur
ing which he was wounded, he surren-
dered and paid the penalty of his crime
to-day.
When the straps were on Almy's limbs
he asked the sheriff if he could speak
The sheriff shook his head. Amy even
then appeared to want to speak, but the
cap was hastily put over his and he said
nothing. Sheriff Hurlburd after the cap
was fixed, placed the knot under his left
ear, and at 1915 touched the spring,
The drop fell heavy and Almy's body
went through the trap. To the horror
Of the spectators his feet struck the floor
below, his knees being under nim, The
rope was evidently too loose, as it not
stretch any. Tie body bent to the
right and slightly forward, Inside of a
minute the officers on the platform
swung tt e rope and pulled the body up
several feet, Another feature of the ex-
eeution that caused witnesses to shudder
was the position of the rope and knot.
The former was pulled over the left ear,
while the knot was fully one foot above
the neck. 1t was evident the condem-
ned man was strangIed to death. How
ever, only one or two of the twitching
motions could be seen and then there
was entire absence of struggle. At
1870 Amy was pronou ced dead.

THE suit against the city to enjoln
the payment of warrants issued for the
cancellation of the bath house contract
to r. S. Marks is i'll advised and will
work great injury to the city and its
credit, We do not propose to pass up
on the legal question involved as that Is
for the court but whether the suit can
be maintained or not, it is wrong in
principle, A contract was made in good
faith by the city and was accepted in
good faith and money expended there
under, and bath house established,
which gained for the city reputation
throughout the state. The city found
that the price agreed to be paid for the
water, etc, was not adequate to the cost
of supplying same; it also found it nee
essary to have it removed in order that
the rate Of insurance might be reduced,
and acting for the best interests of the
city the council wisely paid Mr., Marks
$1,000 to surrender the contract and re-
move the building. This was the sum
invested by Marks n year ago in the
bath house. Warrants were issued and
innocent purchasers have invested in
these warrants, and now il is proposed
to repudiate the warrants and refuse to
pay them, because there is a possibility
to avoid the payment under the law,
We question whether any law will Just.

are the citizens of Pullman willing to

munity! A man who refuses to pay his
debts because the law may be such as
to allow him to do So is dishonest. A

THE decision of the supreme court OF
the United States sustaining the con
sd,utionahty Of the Chinese registration
act will meet with universal approval
wherever the evils of Chinese labor IS
felt The decision established the right
Of the United States to lquidate for
those who are natural born or natural
lied citizens and to exclude all others
from our shores. 1t rec, gnizes America
for Anne, leans, not merely native born,
bnt all who in good faith surrender
their allegiance to their native splace or
potentate and swears allegiance to the
stars and stripes. 1t will be asserted
that this principle is wrong, and that
the Chinese government will be justified
in excluding all Americans from its ter
ritory, If that government SO desires
why should they not have the privilege
of passing such law? If a foreigner Is
allowed to 10 business in any country,
it is a privilege, not a right, and the
privilege can be denied whenever the
grantor SO desires. Americans residing
in China are there for their personal
gain, not for benefit to China, but even
if their residence there would be for the
country's benefit, the right of that gov
eminent to exclude them cannot be de-
MED, As to the question Of policy the
matter is different whether it would be
policy for the Chinese government to
exclude Americans; they must be the
Judges and the United States has no
right t, object to their decision. That
it is good policy for the United States to
exclude Chinese there is not and cannot
be any question in the minds of true
Americans who are acquainted with the
manners, customs, acts and doings of the
almond eyed, pig tailed heathens.'

the large majority Of our citizens are
honest and honorable; we would have
chained that ALL were such, but cannot
do so if this proceeding has the approval
Of anyone. We are glad to learn that
the council will defend the honor Of the
city, and every citizen who has the well
fare of the city at heart, and has respect
for his honor as a citizen and a man will
give them moral support in doing So
and the HERALD takes this opportunity
to inform the world that Pullman will
never repudiate her just debts or obi
cations unless compelled to do SO by
the court of the highest resort,
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1893-05-19

The Herald adds that "almost every
one of these return checks represents
meal purchased on the outside, May
7 was Sunday, and that accounts for
the small number who left the grounds.
The number of return checks issued at
the gates is increasing rapidly and only
one cause can be assigned therefor.
Men entitled to receive these return
slips can not afford to pay the exorblt-
ant prices demanded for badly served
food"
Western visitors to the worlds fair
are predestned to disappointment in
another manner, They who go to
Chicago expecting to pick up great
bargins in dry goods, etc, will learn
upon close investigation, that they
could do quite well at home. A Spo-
kane lady writes back that she finds
prices no lower than at home, and IN
many cases they are higher. Every
thing is pitched higher this year-rents,
service, provisions-and this general in
crease necessarily extends to the prices
of general merchandise.
Chicago is no exception to the rule
She is in the throes of the most gigan-
tic boom of the century, and boom
prices prevail within her gates. The
worlds fair city is just about the last
place in the world to find bargains in
this summer.

Spokane Review

DIR. Calhoun stirred up a hornets
nest when he telegraped The Review
that everything at the opening of the
worlds fair was pitched upon an extor
tionate key. He told the truth, and the
truth was not desired by the worlds
fair management or the Chicago press
aud public,
DIR, Calhouns statement has had
ample yerifcation since the first of May.
Percy Rochester's experience was that
of thousands Of others. Mr.. Rochester
was paving 81 a day for his room be-
fore the rus set In; on May first he
was held up for So day for the bare
room: A Spokane man Just returned
from the fair reports that he was placed
on cot in a room with eight others,
and each occupant was charged 81 for
the nights lodging, A Spokane lady
write that everything is charged for on
the grounds-2O cents for the use OF a
plata to eat your lunch onI You could
spend a fortune in a short time"
However, now that the Chicago pa
pers are beginning to admit that extor-
ton is being practiced, there is reason
to believe that excessive prices will, in
measure, come down. The Herald re-
ports that the res rants, "in charging
exorbitant prices for the food they fur
nish, have overreached themselves, and
daily they are losing a tremendous
amount of trade, while the re taurants
outside the big fence are protiting there
by" This is shown by the increasing de-
mand for return checks issued at the
Dntps.
