Supporting the Family of the Man Who
Tried to NJ urder Him.
BUDA PEsTH, Oct. 3-The trial bryan
here yesterday of Csolics, on the charge of
attempting to kill Cardinal Vaszary, pri-
mate Of Hungary. The prosecution showed
that the prisoner had been, prior to April
last, employed as a cellar man in the car
dinaPs palace here. He had been dis
charged from the position, and, being de-
sirOus OF being taken back into the cardi-
NAILS employ, prepared a petition addressed
to him. The cardinal, however, was ig-
norant of the merits of the case and when
the petition was presented to him by
Csolics he told tho latter, that he (the
cardinaD must consult with his household
officials before he could give decided
answer to the request. This answer ell
ragged Csolics, who drew carving knife
and attempted to plunge IL into the heart
Of the cardinal. The latter's secretary,
Rev Medurdus Kohl, saw the movement
and sprang upon Csolics and prevented
rim from stabbng the cardinal, but was
himself stabbed five times.
The noise of the struggle attracted the
attention of Chaplain Vargabuda, who
was in an anteroom waiting for an audi
ence with the cardinal. He summoned aid
and the now practically insane Csolics was
overpowered and handed over to the police
Csolics is about 40 years old, and has a
wife and several children. He stated to
the court that there was no use of his de-
nying his guilt, and expressed the deepest
repentance for his crime Hc added that
Cardinal Vaszary bad forgiven him for the
attempt he had made upon his life, and
had heaped Goals of fire upon his head by
supporting his family while he had been
confined in prison awaiting trial

THE CONVERSATIONAL TONE.
Shouting oratorioaI Speeches Not the Best
MnY to Convince Men.

The voice is an instrument, the range,
variety and effectiveness Of which are apt
to be wholly overlooked in this age of crav-
ing for sensations. Indeed, even In the
pulpit, would not the man who should be-
come master of 1t gain immeasurably in
the hold he could get over the limited
number that constitutes most congrepa-
tions? In immense churches, where he
must hold forth to vast assem- biies, the
preacher must adopt the orntorical style,
just as in hailing the masthead In gale
man must make use of the speaking trum-
pet. But a speaking trumpet in a parlor
would make conversation as uncomfortable
as a street brass band hired by an enemy TO
blast away just outside the window.
Nor is it less uncomfortable in many a
small church. There the number is not too
great to get into close, heart to heart, per-
sonal contact with, and the man who
should adopt quiet, varied, eye to eye, low
inSly intimate, conversational tone would
win over 10 sinners to the ways of right
eousness and peace to one that your Jericho
rams horn blaster would shake down in
CONSERVATION on his knees
As an effective instrument to use in deal
ing at close hand with jury, the conversa-
tional tone, it fairly may be argued, would
seem to carry with it certain great adyan-
tusts over the OfdlOTltdl. lnuPeu tnere Is
something intrlnsically false and absurd In
the position Of man standing up and pro-
nouncing splendid Grafton before n beg
carly dozen of his fellow creatures. It
takes n densely packed acre of them to jus
tify the situation, When Webster spoke
at Bunker Hill, the individual was nothing;
the mass was everything He did not ex-
pect to come to close quarters with any Sc
lectcd persons, but to sway 10000 in cor
porate body.
In addressing jury, however, the case is
as different as that between the ceremonial
shaking Of hands the president of the
United States extends to myriads on a
grand reception day and the warm, friend
ly pressure with which he greets few real
intimates. Is it not, then, something as
really out of place to discharge a magnifi-
cent oration at group of 6ozen men as
it would be to open fire on a flock of peeps
on beach with columbiGd instead of u
shotgunsp The true object is to bag the
peeps and not to make the welkin roar

BRITAIN'S COAL FAMINE
Another Attempt to Settle the
Great Miners Strike.
CHILDREN DYING OF STARVATION.

fhc Mayors of Several cities Have Called
to Prevent, IfPossibie, "a Further Spread
of tho Prevailing Destltution.
LONDON, Oct 3-Among the many man.
ufncturing towns that have keenly felt the
shortage of coal caused by the great strike
OF the miners are Sheffield, Leeds, Brad
ford, Nottingham and Derby. Notwith-
standing the failure thus far of the efforts
made to bring about n general settlement
oil the dispute the mayors of those towns
decided that SON ething should be done by
them in the interest of the Industries that
are threatened with heavy losses, to bring
the fight to an end. A meeting of the
mayors was held yesterday, and ii was re-
solved that they should invite delegates of
the coal mine owners and the Miners Fed
GRAFTON to meet them on Monday next and
attempt to reach some settlement of the
trouble, so that the strikers may return to
work.
The mayors had in view, too, the terri
bic suffering that is now everywhere nc
companying the strike. The men have
been out of work for over two months,
and hundreds of those who have families
have sold or pawned everything of value
they possessed in order to obtain food for
their wives and children. 1t is a common
occurrence for the London and provincial
papers to report the deaths of miners lit
tie children, who have died from actual
starvation. Relief committees have been
appointed in many localities to alleviate
as far as possible the prevailing distress
Part OF the work of these committees is
thefeeding Of children, thousands of whom
apply daily for the only food it is possible
for them to obtain.
With this condition of affairs prevailing
the mayors think the may be able to bring
about some understanding between the
masters and men that will allow of a re.
sumption Of work and consequent out
put of coal that will furnish the mills.
factories, etc, with plentiful supply Of
fuel. Should the coal famine continue,
and the industries of the several towns be
forced to suspend, the suffering among the
operators and artisans and their families
would be terrible. 1t is hoped that some
solution of the problem will shortly be ar
rived at and that the price of coal will
reach Its nominal level. 1t is believed by
some persons that the return of the strikers
in the Bolton district and in Yorkshire
will tend to induce the men still out to re-
consider their determination not to re-
sumo work until their full demands are
granted ...

Some of the rules by which the tenants
of the Astors arc bound are curious. For
instance, although they will make almost
any repairs that tenant suggests before
the lease is signed even though the repairs
may cost more than the rental, they will
not spend cent on the property during
the existence Of the lease. A lady who
rented house in Forty-fifth street from
the Astors was told that she could have
any repairs or alterations she wished. but
no chandeliers. She had the house deco
rated from top to bottom and many expen-
sive repairs made, and there was not a re-
monstrance, but she had to supply all the
chandeliers, at a cost of 81 800, herself OF
course they remain her property, and she
can take them away when she moves.
A curious incident is related by another
tenant in Forty-fourth street. She leased
house ut rental Of s., 600 for one year
When she came to renew the lease for an
other year, she was informed that the rent
would be only 81, 800, She was told by some.
body who pretended to know that the re-
duction was due TO deterioration in the
value of the property, and that the Astors
did not want more than certain interest
on it. That, however, was not true, as was
learned upon inquiry at the Office of the
Astor estates. The clerks there said that
the reduction was due simply to the fact
that during the first year they had charged
percentage for repairs and changes. AS
none was required the second year, the per-
centage was taken off. Nevertheless, IL re-
mains the fact that the reduction was vol
untaryan to the tenant unexpected. New

Here are some of the superstitions III
which cats figured:
When they washed their faces over their
ears, it meant that there would be big fall
of rain.
When they sneezed, it meant good luck
for the bride who should marry the next
day.
When they covered the fire more than or
dinary or spent much time licking their
feet and trimming their hair or mustaches,
rain was sure TO follow
When they jumped over corpscs, it was
bad luck. Faith in these superstitions has
almost died ont. But others have taken
their place. A gambler, for instance, re-
CARDS black cat AS an omen of i'll fortune,
which may be averted only by touching the
animal on the back. So if yon see man
going out of his way in order to touch
black cat you may be reasonably certain

The so called mike apples of eastern
Connecticut have queer history, so it is
related. Micah Rood was a once thrifty
farmer in old Norwich town. His habits
suddenly changed, and he became idle, rest
less and incorporate. He neglected his
work and Stunned his neighbors. Some
thought the change due to witchcruft,
others to insanity. When the apple trees
blossomcd in the spring, on one tree the
flowers had turned from white to red. The
neighbors wondered much. and especially
as Rood was drawn to this tree by resist
less fascination. When the yellow apples
ripened in the fall, each one was found to
contain red globule which was known
afterward as the drop of blood"
The people remembered that foreign
peddler had passed through the village in
the previous fall and had stopped over
night at Rood's house, and the story grew
that he had killed him for his money and
buried the body under this tree. Search
revealed nothing concerning the peddler
but the people said the evidence Of Rood's
guilty was summed up in his disturbed
spirit and the blood mottled apples. Micah
Rood lost all interest in his farm, became
dependent on the town and died in III,
But so long as the blood spotted apples
grow they will be known as the Nike
apples and will perpetuate the story of his
life.-Boston Transcript.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
still No Sign of Concluding the Inter.
minRbie Silver Debate.


WAsHISGToN, Oct. 3.-The resolution
proposing postponement of action on the
repeal bill aud other measures until the
three vacant seats from Montana, Wash
fngton and Wyoming are filled was
brought up yesterday incidentally by the
senator who offered it last week, Mr.. Du-
bois, of Idaho. He disclaimed any pur-
pose OF obstruction in offering 1t. This re-
vival of the subject gave Mr.. Washburn
(Minn.) an opportunity of declaring the
proposition to be absolutely absurd, par
ticnldrly in view of the fact that two OF
the states concerned were not silver pro-
ducing, and had no more interest in the
bllverquestion than other states had, and
were, Furthermore, now represented in the
senate by men who would vote for the un-
conditional repeal of the Sherman act.
This last statement was instantly chal-
enged, both by Mr.. Dubois and by Mr..
Wolcott Coli, who asked for the author
fty on which it was made. There was no
hesitation on Mr.. Washburn's part in
gratifying their curiosity. His authority,
he said, came from the two senators them
selves (Messrs. Squire and Carey, and he
stated afterwards, in precise terms, that
the senator from Washington (Mr Squire)
had told him that he would vote for the
unconditional repeal of the Sherman law.
The statement seemed to surprise the SEN
ators from Colorado and Idaho Mr. Du-
bois appeared altogether incredulous, and
asserted that Messrs. Squire and Carey
would vote against the pending bill. He
did not say what authority he had for the
assertion. No action was taken on the
resolution. The debate on the silver pur-
chase repeal bill was continued by Mr..
Kyle against the bill, and by Mr. Mcmillan
for it, Mr. Dolph also made an argument
against the free coinage of silver
Outside of humorous speech by Mr..
Clark (Mo) against the federal election
laws the proceedings in the house were
lacking in interest.
