DREAM GAME TRUE,


A Husband and Wife Found Weltering In
Their own Blood In "A thicago Hotel
CHICAGO, March THE guests and
employees of the Stafford hotel were
startled at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon
by a woman's screams coming from one
of the rooms. A chambermaid rushed
to the room and, upon opening the
door, was confronted with horrible
sight. Frank Eek, aged 2S, and his
wife, aged 26, were upon the floor of
the room wcltering in blood, with then
throats cut from ear to ear. The girl
gave the alarm and the police were hur-
riedly summoned.
The couple were married a year and
a half ago at Kansas City and moved
from there to St Louis and about two
weeks ago came to this city. The wife
secured employment at the hotel as a
chambermaid. OF the husband but
little is 50 far known, as he did not
board at the hotel. A singular coini-
dence is that Mrs. Eek dreamed Sun
day night that she was wading in
blood. She told this dream to some of
the guests of the hotel and her fellow
employees Monday morning. Eek was
of singularly morose disposition,
and it is thought that in an insane
spirit of jealous rage, cut his wife's
throat and then his own.

When Vice President Stevenson

the spectators in the galleries could
not restrain their impatient enthusiasm

EXTRA SESSION.
1t Is Now Practically settled That There
VIII Be None

WASHINGTON, March THE Star has
his: 1t is now practically settled that
there will be no extra session of the
tifty-third congress. 1t has been evil
lent since the silver men showed what
strength they had in the two houses of
congress that there would be no spring
session called to repeal the Sherman
aw. Now it is settled. as well as can
De, so far in advance that there will
DC no session in the fall, and that con.
yress will not get together before the
.egular time of meeting.
The president is satisfied that he was
nisled as to the possibility of doing
| anything with silver in the new con-
yress Immediately, and that he does not
propose to force the fighting before the
sentiment in favor of his position which
lie hopes to grow, has had more time to
De developed.
1t is said to mean, also, that an ad'
ninistration tariff bill is to be pre-.
pared in the treasury department and
sent TO congress in December Some Of
hose men in the house who want to
nave the honor of preparing their own
Dill, and are disposed to resent any en-
croachment OF the executive on their
functions, are not pleased at the prospect
of having to act on a ready-made bill.
| They call attention to the fact that
| when the Walker bill was sent to the
| house it was not received as bill,
members resentipg the interference
with their prerogatives, but measure
| exactly similar was brought in by the
| ways and means committee. This is
only matter of punctliousness, how
ever, and it is safe to assume that any
tariff measure receiving the sanction of
the executive will, in the main, have
the approval of congress.
| The silver men are now less anxious
| about the treatment they are to receive
from Mr.. Cleveland in the matter of
patronage. They have been afraid that
he might refuse to give any consider
alton to democrats who opposed him on
the money question, but they have been
satisfied that he is not going to be in.
tolerant, but on the contrary, is going to
be conciliatory to a considerable degree.
This conviction puts them in a more
amiablc frame of mind than they were.
What Mr.. Cleveland expects is that af
ter the members of the house and SEN
ate have been at home for few months
they will find that there is change OF
sentiment on the silver question, and
that many of them will come back here
in December more favorably disposed
| toward the administrations views.

ollcer OF the senate"
WASHINGTON, March 6.-By long custom the
inaugural ball has grown TO be almost as much
part OF the ceremonies OF the Inauguration day
as the inaugural address. 1t is the inaugural
tribute by politicians to society. There have
been but two intermissions In the series OF in.
augural balls to commemorate the accession OF
a newly elected president since the days Of
Madison, that covers q period Of eighty-four
years.
Whatever changes OF administration may oc-
cur, it seems likely that the pension building
will be ,he national ballroom Of the future.
Clevel2nd's first Inauguration and Hk1fsx1s
election were each attended by most suGcstetal
balls held within this building but neither OF
them could compare in splendor to the ball
held there Saturday night Much Of the spec
tacnlar splendor was doubtless due to mod.
crn developments in the use Of electricity, OF
which full advantage was taken. The scene
was fairy-l The scent of flowers, the com.
bined radiance Of myriad electric globes, the
dainty blending Of green and gold and white
sparkling fountains Of tinted water perfect
harmony Of musical instruments and, what was
to many the most interesting feature Of all
toilets of SURPRISING magnihcence-all com
bined to make spectacle that will be carried
for many years in the minds Of those who wit
messed it In its fullness.

yards in length, more than forty yards in
breadth and more Than fifty yards from floor 10
