tanned permission of the two dignitaries
mentioned to take the Declaration of In
dependence and engrave it in facsimile
on copper. HeeaTried the precious docu-
ment to the printing Office of one Peter
Force. When everything was in readi-
ness, he placed it upon the imposing
stone and laid a sheet of india paper of
the same size upon it. This india paper
was next noistened with water III which
gum arabic had been dissolved. Aheavy
proof roller with ii weight hanging from
each end WIS then rolled several times

india paper was removed from the face
of the instrument, it took with it at least
one-half OF the ink used in writing and
signing the document.
The document is less than IA century
and u quarter years old. and with proper
care should be almost as legible as it was
on the 9Th day of July, 1876. As it is,

Pueblo Beggars Contrivo Cruel Scheme

PUEBLO Col. April 16.-Pusblo has been
for several months infested by a horde of
crippled beegars Of all varieties, who have
kept the housekeepers In many parts of the
city in terror. Nevertheless some of them
have shown such severe injuries that il was
difficult to refrain from granting them
charity. but the snap was completely given
away day or two ago by one of their num-
Der. young man walked into the city hall
and swore out warrants for the arrest of
several men who have been camping in the
southeastern part of .he city, chni gng them
with assault. 1t seems the young fellow fell

they inssted upon his going ont and beg
ging for their mutual good. This he refused
to do and so they seemingly relinquished
| their plan and invited him to drink with
them. They gave him dtugged beer and
when he uwoke he found that they had
scalded his arm terribly. blistering 1t nearly
it's entire length and disabling it totally for
the present. They told him TO 90 out and
ahow his injury, which would be . good ex-
cuss for begging, and said that there were Il

the same way and who were making good
living. Instead he intends to prosecute
them. There ia no doubt but that many
who have been working upon tho sympn-

CORBETT NEARLY MOBBED,

Montreal Cabmen Resent His Treatment
of One of Their Number.
MONTREAL, April 16.-James Corbett and
William Brady, his manager. who have been
here playing Gentleman Jack" came near
being mobbed by an indignant crowd ofcab-
men on Saturday evening b efore they left
for Buffalo, but escaped, as the cabmen
were not allowed in the railroad station,
The indignation arose over the ill treatment
which one of their number, z. Lalamonde,
suffered ut Corbett's and Brady's hands on
Friday afternoon in and outside of the
Windsor hotel.
Both had engaged the cabman to drive
them around town in the morning, and
during the trip drinks were psrtaken Of.
The result was that the cabman got half
full. and when he drove the pair back to the
hotel at two O'Clock Corbett and Brady re-
fused to pay him, on tho ground that the
cabman was drunk. The cabmau, who is a
small man. followed them into the rotunda
of the hotel and said:
y don't give continental whether
you're Corbett or any other fellow. but
want my money"
Corbett :or a reply picked him up bv tho
neck and kicked aim out of the hotel.
Brady then thought he would have his
share of it and went out on the sidewalk.
and started TO give the man that Corbett
kicked second dose. but he reckoned with
out his host, for the driver was giving
Brady the worst of it, when others inter
fered and parted them. This ia why the
jehus wanted to get ut both before they
left.
The tour through Canada was not a suo-
cess financially. hardly 100 people seeing
the show the last evening.

THE WOMAN VOTE In KANSAS.
Populists Now the Bitterest Enemies q
Female Suffrage.

Populists Now the Bitterest Enemies OF
Female Suffrage.
TOPEKA, Kan. April l6.-As anticipated,
the woman vote cast at the last election
has been taken as a condemnation Of pop
ulist methods, and the leaders of that purity
have not only declared war upon full suf-
fraRe. but upon the present law that gives
the right of suffrage only in municipal cleo.
tions. Counting out the woman vote the
result would have been practically the
same, but that vote has made the defeat 30
overwhelming that the populist leaders have
weak and uncertain members of their party
may leave them.
The election has had another result Be-
fore tho voto was cast such ropulists as
Lease. Doster, Breidenthal. Osborne. and
those IN power were declaring that they had
only been weakened by accepting alliance
with the democrats. and that hereafter they
would travel "in the middle of the road.'
They have seen that a portion of the con-
demnation of their course has come from
the democrats. revealing their own weak
ness. They have been brought to realize
that the democrats are not with them, even
though that party did give its votes to popu-
lists for political reasons. In their fear they
are now making many promises, although
only few days ago they declared that the
democratic party was more corrupt than
the republican party. They have nothing
more to give out in the way of Offices but
they say when they do have they will not
forget the democrats.
The election has awakened the populists
to some things they never dreamed Of and
they find that ''ths first populist state gov
ernment on the face of the earth" is fast
slipping away, and that they must concili-
ate those whom they have made enemies bv
their course. The woman vote does not
alarm them except that it tends to cause a
loss OF strength among those of their fol-
lowers who love to be en- the winning side.
While the populists have engrafted in their
state platform woman suffrage plank,
they will oppose the amendment, realizing
that if their party has life four years
hence 1t would then be totally annihiiated.
Even those who are opposed to woman
suffrage declare that the women are op-
posed to shams. and that they are not cas-
lily hoodwinked. In this may be found
their opposition to the populists who have
developed such an Unsuitable craving for
spoils that they have in every instance lost
their heads. Even thus far ahead it may
be predicted that the amendment granting
to women the right to vote will be de-
f0ated.

den on Rail.
KALAMAZOO, Mich. April 16.-People liv-
ing at Wats,velt and Coloma are each day
becoming more disgustsd with the acts of
the crazy Caitsrites. a religious sect which
infests the locality. The devil humiliation
business seems to have a peculiar charm
for the people and converts are rapidly in
creasinQ in numbers. William Burbank ia
one of the recent converts. and it is claimed
he proceeded to put the methods of the
secretary into active operation in his own
family, especially on his children, because
OF some alleged misdeed, and not only
beat them, but paid 80 much atten-
tion to religion that he failed to pro-
vide them with food and clothing. The
anti-Carterites objected and took the
method in vogue in the locality of making
him behave himself. A crowd of thirty
from Watervelt called on him and took him
out on chilly night and rode him quite
distance on rail and then stripped Oft his
clothing and gave him coat Of tar and
feathers.
The crowd threatened to use tho same
methods on other members If any of tho
antics are continued. Tho authorities re-
fuse to take sides in the trouble. and the
work of correcting their insane notions will
be allowed to continue without me estation.

| BRussEI.s April 1G.-This has been day
of extreme watchfulness and anxiety on
! the part of the authorities throughout Bel
glum. Reports from all points Indicate
that the Etrike is spreading stcndily, and
the temper of the strikers is growing
worse. In this city the mo ming passed
without disturbances. Several suffrage
meetings were held, but they were orderly,
and the speeches were not violent. This
afternoon, however. thousands of working
men held turbulent meeting outside tho
city limits. The object OF the meeting was
to denounce the proclamation OF the mayor
prohibiting public demonstration in favor
of universal suffrage. The crowd became
uproatious and shouted for revenge upon
the mayor. The police ordered the crowd
to disperse. The workinRmen answered
with jeers. The police drew their swords
and advanced. Some of the crowd fired
revolvers and few threw stones, but the
rest retrented without show of fight to-
ward the city. Nobody was injured.
Mayor Bulls was walking homo an hour
later. when some 200 socialists, returning
from the meeting, came down the street.
They hooted and jostlsd him and one of
them struck him heavy blow with stick
on tho head. He fell, bleeding and uncon-
scious, to the pavement. The police COM
ing up charged the socialists, and after a
fight of ten minutes dispersed them. Mayor
Bulls was still unconscious when taken
home, but recovered consciousness toward
evening, and probably will be able to re-.
sumo his official duties within few days.
This evening the turbulent crowds fought
the police in several districts of the city.
In one instance the mob became 80 threat
ening that the mounted police charged
them with drawn swords. Tho risters

trampled upon. Twelve were arrested.

The city ia as If In = state Of siege. All
places OF amusement are deserted. The
