NICARAGUA REVOLUTION.
Reported to Be Carrying Everything
Before Them.

New York, May ia special cable
from Panama says that the revolution
SITS are carrying everything before them
All departments are now controlled
by them. In some Of the departments
nearly every citizen joined the revolu-
ton, leaving Sacaza without supporters.
Thousands of volunteers have been
rejected by the revolutionists' leaders
because they did not have arms. One
half Of the organized revolutionary
army is armed only with hatchets.
Perfect order prevails in the revolu-
donary camp. The soldiers are paid
every day. All property belonging to
the citizens which is taken for the use
Of the revolutionary army is paid for
by the wealthy leaders who furnished
the money to back up the movement.
Prisoners are humanely treated and
wounded government soldiers are well
cared for. All laws are fully sustained
by the revolutionists as during times
Of peace.
President Sacaza has adopted drastic
measures to control the country. Sc
we're punishment is inflicted on all whom
he cali find who sympathize with the
revolution. Property belonging to revo-
lutionary leaders in Managua has been
cOnfscated and foreign residents of the
capital go armed to protect themselves
from assault.

ARSON RECALLED.
An EX-Convict Defendant in a Divorce
Suit.

Milwaukee, May II. - There is another
and a more sensational chapter in the
life of Elias Bennett, who was in 1884
sentenced to six years in Waupun prison
for arson. Bennett worked as a cloak
cutter here. On Thanksgiving night,
1888, he fired the building on Third
street in this city, which he and a wo-
man who passed as his wife managed
as a boarding house. Bennett is now
the defendant in a divorce suit in Chi
cagO and an effort will be made to show
hat the woman who lived with him here
was not his legal wife.
The Bennett arson case was an in
teresting and important one and it is
still fresh in the recollection Of Mil
waukee officials. Acting Chief Riemer,
Of the fire department, says that on
Thanksgiving night, 1888, an alarm
came in for a fire at 179-1S1 Third
street. The fire was burning briSkly
when the firemen arrived, but they con-
Guided to try to extinguish it with the
chemical apparatus. 1t is well they did,
for after the fire had been eXtinguished
the fremen found unmistakable evil

had been SO arranged that the death
Of several iremen would have been
the inevitable result had a stream of
water been turned into the place. Piles
Of kindling wood had been fired and
then several pals, partially filled with
kerosene had been suspended from the
ceiling by slender strings. It was evil
IDENTITY the intention of the incendiary
to have the fire which he started in
the kindling wood eventually reach
the strings and thus empty the oil
all over the foor A stream Of water
would have undoubtedly broken the
strings and the result of the ignition
of all that oil, with couple of fire
companies right in the room, would
have been awful to contemplate. BY
using a chemical apparatus the firemen
eXdnguiShed the flames and at the
same time Steered clear of the kerosene
pals. The loss was only $3.50. 1t was
found that Bennett had $1,000 insurance
on his household effects. The building
was owned by W. W. Wallis.
Bennett was arrested on a charge of
arson. He set up an alibi, claiming to
have been in Chicago. The trial was an
interesting one, and it was finally shown
that the fire was started in such man.

before it finally broke out into a danger
Gus blaze. Bennett was convicted and
was sentenced to six years in Waupun
prison. He was never heard Of here
since his release from Waupun.
The complaint of Mrs. Mary Bennett,
who is sueing for divorce in Chicago.
throws some light on Benefits history.
In the early part of 1866 Mrs. Bennett
was a girl 10 years of age and lived at
Severn Bridge, Canada She met Ben
nett, who was nearly ten years her
senior and fell in love with him. They
were married in December of the same
year. Soon after that Bennett made a

A PEOPLES PARLIAMENT.
Swedes Moving for Universal Sur
frage.

While the whole world has heard
much about the movemet for universal
suffrage in Belgium, a similar move
ment of much more remarkable feat
ureS has matured almost unnoticed in
Sweden. In the middle of last month
a peoples parliament Of $50 members
met in Stockholm to act as the repre-
sentatlveS of more than 100000
Swedish men who are not allowed to
vote for regular candidates.
The peoples parliament contains
thirty wOrkingmen, twentJ,wc journal
lists, twenty farmers, twenty-One arti-
sans, seven shop-keepers seven school
teachers, four preachers, three clerks,
two lawyers one musician, and one fe-
male editor Four of it's members are
members also of the regular parlia-
ment. The great majority of members
demand the privilege of suffrage for
every male Swede of 81 years or more
few members, conspicuously the one
female editor, Miss Ration, favor grant
ing the privilege of suffrage to all
SWedeS, men and women, of p years
or more.
The peoples parliament viii conduct
it's proceedings and will be renewed
periodically by elections on the lines
followed by the regular parliament.
It's efforts will be confined exclusively
however, to promoting the cause Of
manhood suffrage. At present the par
iannentary electors in Sweden NUMBER

taxable incomes of less than 5000 each
annually are excluded from the fran
chiSe
Some time ago the lower house of
the regular parliament passed, by vote
of ia to TO- qualification. The plan
was to make the minimum of the tax
able annual income which would quail
fly the pOsSeSSOr to vote S125 instead of
5000, and thus increase the number of
electors by about 100000. The meas
ure was rejected by the upper house
by vote of IS to 81. This refusal of
the upper house to sanction even a
moderate reform Of the laws applying
to the suffrage caused radicals and So
cialiStS to renew their agitation ON the
lines which have led to the choice and
meeting Of the peoples parliament.

FROM TRAMPS TO BANKERS.

Mixture Of Humanity to Be Found in
the Hospital Wards.
Many queer phases Of life are pre-
scented in the wards of a big city hos
pital, where the poor mud-Soiled tramp
is placed side by side with the profess
SiOnal man, artisan or merchant, and
where wealth, as well as poverty and
influence recede from view in the pres
ence of physical pain, caused by acct
dent OF disease. The hospital cots, in
deed, contain strange bedfellows. The
last report Of Providence hospital, on
Capital Hill, Washington, is mentioned
by the News as an apt illustration of
this. During the year 1,S4O persons
were admitted, representing almost
every country on the face Of the globe.
The largest number, $40, were citizens
of the district, Ireland came next with
277; Virginia, 232; Maryland, 17S; New
York, 15S: Germany, 40, and a scatter
ing from the other states and foreign
countries. There was one native Afri-
can, one Arabian, one West Indian and
two from Italy. The occupations given
form a strange medley and include
among many others: Actors, 2; artists,

inmate was given as tramp and of
a number of females as ''ladies'' and
maids" The mechanical trades were
represented by several hundred pa
tents.

no domestic animals, except dogs
These are small, Of the color Of yellow
leather, sharp nosed, with upright tri-
angular ears. They aid in finding the
game. Whether the pig1nies are canni-
balls or not is at present an open ques-
ton. They would seem. however. to
be exempt from this practice, for at
the Ituri we heard of their killing
several people and throwing their
bodies into the river. Our three pig
mics seem to know absolutely nothing
about cannibalism. Their language
differs entirely from that of the neigh
boring peoples; it has not yet been pos
sible to form a vocabulary for them,
since, in replying questions, they usual
ly employ the languages of their neigh
bors. Our two female pigmies have
learned the Suaheii tongue, and it is
only when they think themselves quite
unobserved that they talk and sing TO-
gether in their mother tongue. The ne
groes maintained that they twittered
like birds; but the tribes best acquaint-
ed with them know that they speak
the languages Of their neighbors. Our
three, at least, have been brought up to
speak the Wambuga language. No one
has succeeded as yet in fixing the words
which represent the numbers in their
native language; probably they are,
like the Brshman, unable to count
more than two, all the numbers above
two being called many" They call
themselves Eve or Baewe; by their
neighbors they are called Wambuti, Au
Ango, Wasumbe, Aka, sc. The name
Aka is said to occur on an ancient
Egyptian monument

The Textile Hemp Has Great Resisting
FOrce-Its Latest Use.
Herr Dove appears by the best ac-
counts either to have copied or, what
is more probable, to have reinvented
garment made originally by Herr
Sarneo, an Austrian engineer, who of
fered it to his own war office, which,
after the manner of Austria, examined,
shifted at and finally neglected the dis
covery The garment is, it is reported,
a light shirt of mail, made of wire rings
fastened upon an inner skin composed
of hemp driven into a thick and COM
pact substance by excessive pressure,
says the Spectator.
The shirt, owing to its elasticity, is
impenetrable to any rifle now used,
the bullet falling from it fiattened or
i'll pieces, and this ait distance Of
hundred yards. The blow inflicted by
the weight of the bullet is, of course,
tremendous; so severe that it is doubt
full if the front of the leg can be pro-
tected from the fracture, any more than
it could be from the kick of a horse;
but over the body the hemp does not
break the skin, and the soldier so hit,
though he might be knocked SenSeleSs
for the moment, would survive as an
unwounded man. The hemp, in fact,
gives way to the impact of the bullet
without tearing, just as bag of sand
does, and, so to speak, lets the force
of the blow through without letting the
bullet itself.
There is nothing in this beyond prob
ability, the resisting force of textile
fibers like hemp or silk being we'll
known and their tenacity tested at sea
in another direction almost every hour.
The extent of the protection must not
be exaggerated, for the blow endured
would be terrible, just as the blow
received by an armOred knight from
a heavy mace was terrible, and the COW
ering must be complete, the face re-
manning exposed; but still the shirt, or
cuirass, would immensely reduce the
mortality from rife fire-perhaps, If
sufficiently thick pads Of the material
could be worn on the legs, would lessen
it to the extent of three-fourths.
Bullets fired from any distance hit
the head comparatively seldom, ana
the bayonet, which would be turned
like the bullet, is practically never
aimed at the face. With certain I'M
provements sure to be introduced, es-
peciallv as regards weight, the stuff
might prove an effective defense to in
fantry. even as dress might revive the
ancient practice of carrying shields, still
in use among the warrior races of Asia,
and might materially affect the fate
of campaigns.
