vation ofthe tracks. But when hefound
that the press denounced him for his
murderous act he suddenly declared
that he had received call OF his con-
science to remove Mayor Harrison.
There is the parallel, marvellous through
out the entire case.
"lhere is no redeeming trait, no pal.
liating circumstance connected with
this cold blooded and atrocious mur-
der. He calls out his victim presum.
ably to talk quietly with him. Then,
placing himself so close to his unarmed
victim rs to make his aim as unerring
as the decrees OF fate, he fires shot after
shot into the body OF our mayor.
"Had Mr.. Harrison been armed on
that fateful night; had he turned n re.
volver to the breast OF this man, how
quickly the coward would have fed.
There is something OF chivalry in the
murderer who gives his victim a chance
for his life, but there is nothing OF that
here.
an the early days of theSWorld's
Fair Mayor Harrison was wont to call
the city Of Chicago his bride. Here tho
choicest nations OF the earth, whatever

But he is stricken down by tho hand OF
an assassin and to-day that brides smile
has fed, her lips arc cold and white
her garb is sombre black. She stands
with one foot on the edge OF the new
made grave Of her mayor, the rigid
fnger OF one hand pointing to the
mangled remains OF her choice, so
loved and admired, the other hand
pointing toward that man, mutely ap-
pealing to you, gentlemen, not for
vengeance, but for absolute, independ-

THE CHARGE 70 THB JURY.
When he finished, tho court an
nounced recess until l o'clock. Court
was in session in few minutes before
that time and Judge Brentano begun
his charge to the jury precisely at one
o'clock. As the court commenced to
read the instructions offered by the
state, Prendergast buried hio face in u
black handkerchief which he held in
his lett hand and never once did ne
look up or move until just at the close
of the judges charge when the court i'm
structcd the Jury as to the form OF their
verdict. At tho mention OF the word
death" tho prisoner dropped his
hands for an instant. When the court
said "Or you may sentence him to the
penitentiary for the term OF his nat
ural life," Prondergast Cgain twitched
nervously.
Judge Brontano's charge to the jury
was a lengthy one. During the course
of it he said that if the Jury believed
beyond q reasonable doubt that the
prisoner was capable OF choosing to
commit or not to commit tho act, he
should be found guilty, even though
they believed he was not at the time
perfectly sane. Sanity is an Ingredient
OF crime, the court continued, and II
the Jury entertained a reasonable doubt
of the prisoners sanity he should BIO
acquitted.
The court then instructed the jury a.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
RESULT OF TOWN BALLOTINGS
IN KANSAS AND MISSOURI.
The Women Make Strong Showing In
Kansas-Republicans Win In Most Of
the Cities-st. Louis Goes Repub-
lican by GoOd Majority
Carter Harrison Wins
~ In Chicago.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 5.-Dis-
patches from the various towns in
Kansas where municipal elections
were held yesterday, show that the
women carried everything before them.
Although the exact and total women's
vote cannot be given, the returns
show that it was double that cast of
any election since the passage of the
municipal equal suffrage act in 1887.
The returns show that the total
woman's vote cast was more than
double that cast at any previous cleo
tion.
A united effort was made by the
wemen throughout the state to make
good showing at the polls, and the
result has been that universal suffrage
has received an impetus which will in
all probability result in the adoption
of the constitutional amendment ex-
tending equal suffrage to all elective
offices in the state at the next general
election by an overwhelming majority.
The Republican tickets were sue
cessful in Kansas City, Kan, Topeka,
Wichita, Lawrence, Leavenworth,
Emporia and most of the other towns
while at Fort Scott, Goodlander,
the citizens candidate and a strong
anti-prohibitionist was elected mayor,
and at Atchison the mayoralty race
was tie. At Kansas City, Kan, the
women almost solidly knitted Mrs. Pot
ter, who had herself nominated for
mayor Independent of the wishes of
the other women in the matter.

Especial Worlds Fair Letter. I

Especial Worlds Fair Letter.l
Thirty states and territories have
made applications to provide for
proper representation of their resources
at the worlds fair, and it is expected
that others will announce an intention
of participating in the exposition when
local prejudices are overcome and the
eyes of legislators are fully opened to
the advantages to be obtained by dis
play of products at the greatest exhibi-
tion ever conceived. The total appro-
priations from the states thus far ap-
proach S5,O00,0 900, of which nearly
one-half has been expended for state
buildings in Jackson park. Sixty-three
acres in the upper end of the park were
set apart for this purpose, and now,
some five months before the opening
day of the fair, there stands city of
magnificent structures varying in archi-
tectural style and cost of construction
from the Illinois building, largest of
all, built after the fashion of the
French Renaissance and costing 81
000,O 900, to the diminutive Vermont
building costing but $4,000, as white
and classic as though built of marble
from her own native hills.
1t is hardly fair to critieise those of
the states not represented in the fol-
lowing list, for in most cases the fail
ure to make an appropriation lies in
unreasoning prejudice of former legis-
latures. South Carolina, for instance,
will not be represented at the fair ex-
cept in u small way in the exposition
department, for this reason. Public
spirited citizens of Kansas raised the
fund to represent that state. TAe seAae

columns upholding wide porch over
the main entrance. Just the sort of
mansion one would expect to see in az
grove on blue grass farm. The cost
was $50, 900.
Opposite the Ohio building is the
homeliest and at the same time most at
tractive state building on the grounds.
1t is of common size and built entirely
of huge logs brought all the way from
Washington. Every stick in it forms
part of the timber exhibit from that
state, and it cost 100000 to erect the
structure. The South Dakota building
is small, but, like the state, attractive.
Native materials enter into the imita-
tion stone work. North Dakota, Min
nesota and Nebraska each have two
story frame structures, covered with
staff and ornamented with plaster. All
are well adapted for their uses, but are
not u. hl in appearance. Montana
has an out-of-the-way location, but an
attractive building, with products of
the state cropping out here and there in
the construction.
Florida's building is a reproduction
of old Fort Marion, and the imitation
is made more perfect by a plaster COW
ering made from sea sand filed with
tiny shells. This building is in itself
an exhibit, possessing great historical
interest. In the interior will be a
tropical garden. Over $4,000 has thus
far been expended in the structure.

Pennsylvania's headquarters is the

PITTsBURe, Pa, April Sin the AL
legheRy county court yesterday Judge
White decided the famous suit of the
Master Builders exchange, brought by
the striking bricklayers, finding Pres
idcnt Ii. R. Barnes, William Vau,
John Carr and L. T. Yodder guilty of
conspiracy for alleged intimidation of
supply dealers who furnished material
to strikers and for also forming an
ironclad organization and refusing to
give the strikers work, as a result of
which the men were driven from Pitts
burg to other cities.
Judge White, in charging the jury,
scored labor organizations as well as
combinations of capital. He quoted
from the law of 1872 and following the
line of argument of Judges Kicks and
Taft at Toledo, said mechanics had no
right to strike and induce others to
refuse to work. Such action, he
said, was unlawful conspiracy. He
then denounced organizations of
capital. If the contractors formed q
combination to prevent supply deal
ers from furnishing material to per-
sons not in the combination, it was
malicious aud unlawful. lie referred
to Homestead and Toledo, and said
striKes and combinations were per-
nicious and against public policy and
were becoming too frequent for the
country'S good.
