A HANDSOME WIDOW OF 20

Emptios "A DoubIe-ActIng Gun Into Her
understandable Sentiment is with
Ser,
DALLAS, TEX, May 2s.-Just before
seven o'clock Saturday morning, Mrs.
Lillian Reeves, a handsome widow Of
20, shot Louis Longennelli six times as
fast as a double action pistol could fire
the bullets.
Five of them struck Longennelli in
the breast and stomach and the sixth
entered his throat. He was almost shot
to pieces.
The woman was arrested and the
body Of her victim was removed to an
undertaking establishment. Mrs Reeves
was arraigned before Justice Skelton
for q preliminary trial this afternoon.
The testimony showed that LOngenneili
had rOOmed al the boarding house OF
Mrs. Reeves and her mother, Mrs.
James C.Oney. -Four weeks ago he in
suited Mrs. Reeves and was ordered
from the premises. He secured room
next door aud oegau to circulate stories
rejecting on the good name Of Mrs.
Reeves. he accused her Of visiting
disreputable houses.
Yesterday morning the woman step
ped to the sidewalk to get pitcher OF
milk. Longennelli passed along aud In
suited her. She drew pistol from be-
meath her apron, aud never ceased
shooting until all its chambers were
empty. Justice Skelton held the pris-
oner for the grand jury, placing her
bail az $1,000.
This she gave and was released from
custody. Mrs. Reeves husband was a
conductor, and lost his life in an acci-
deut on the Texas and Pacific year
ago. Longennelli was thirty-hve years
old and bar tender, and came from
Memphis four months ago. 1t is not
believed that Mrs. Reeves will be prose-
cuted. Public sentiment is strongly on
her side.

New YORK, May est transpires
that Alexander Russell Webb, the United
States Consul, who four years ago en-
braced the religion OF Mohammed, and
who represents the Mohammedans in
the United States, returned to this
country for other reasons than those he
Mas already stated. His dignIfed pre-.
sentation Of the tenets OF his new reli-
gion has attracted much attention.
Many will now be surprised who have
heard him say only that his mission
here is TO propagate that religion TO
learn that he Is also the agent OF rich
worshIppers CT Mohammedanism. In
an interview to-day Mr.. Webb confirmed
this statement while regrettiug that ID
must become public before certain ne
gotiations with land owners had been
completed.
Mr.. Webb states that large number
of Mohammedans are planning TO imi-
crate from India 10 the United States,
and that they will probably form colo
nies I'm several OF the Southern States.
Mr.. Webb has no doubt that colonies
will actually be established. During
his life among the Mobammedans
he found, be says, that they are extrav-
agant admirers OF the United States.
and the majority would, he thinks, be
glad TO become American citizens.
Many Mohammedans have told him that
they have long cherished the idea OF
emgrating 20 this country, but they
have hesltated because there is no colo
ny here.
India, while numbering among It's
population many millions more than the
United States, is only one-quarter OF
the size OF this country. This fact, In
connection with the burdensome gov
erument under which Mohammedans
live, aud the fact OF superior rights
guaranteed by our constitution, forms
the principal reason why the Mohamme-
dams have largely determined 10 leave
their country.
The idea OF the wenlthier and moro
prominent Mohammedans was said By
Mr.. Webb TO be To form In every town
and city OF United StatsSnis...,es %
study the Mohammedan reilRoR. %
primary purpose Is not, however, TO
seek converts, out 10 soften the pfcJu-
dice OF Christians In America against
the great religion OF the Indies.
"Already three OF these circles have
been established, two la this city aud
one In Woodbridge, N. j. Our
plans have gone so far as
the preparation OF plans
for the laying out OF towns and farms.
have secured for such purposes an
option on $4,000 acres In Georgia, and
on seven or eight other tracts equally
as large. Negotiations are also In
progress for the purchase OF largo tracts
in Florida and Alabama. II Is impos-
sIble at this time TO say how many Mo-
hamedans will come to this country, but
am positive there will be the first COM
pany OF between FIVE hundred and one
thousand here soon."

REPEAL TIE SHERMAN ACT
Is tho Loud Call of q Kansas Editor Who
Knows Thing or Two.

Knows n Thing or Two.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 2S.-The
Kansas City Times, which has made
strong fight in the Southwest against
free silver and for the repeal OF the
Sherman act, to-day says editorially:
every crisis needs a man, and man
of stalwart action. This country has
been drawn into financial disturbance
by plain cause, which is aggravated
by other circumstances at home and
abroad. 1t happens that the executive
head of the nation is the man who most
boldly pointed ont the cause early
in the history OF its operation. In
the message OF 1885, the first
he sent to Congress, Mr.. Cleveland
said OF the Blabd act: If continued
long enough this operation will result
in the substitution Of silver for oil the
gold the government owns applicable
TO it's general purposes. This, OF
course, must produce severe contrac-
tion of our circulating medium instead
of adding to It,
"Read In the light Of what has hap
pened since, this warning takes q posi-
tion as the foresight of a strong mind
working upon the absolute principles
of safe finance. There are rumors OF
an unwillingness OF Congress TO repeal
the Sherman Act.
Let Grover Cleveland call at once
special session Of Congress and let him
send in message which shall recite
the indisputable condition OF the coun-
try and the equally indisputable cause.
The history of silver purchases
supports every word he can
say. Congress knows to man that he
is right, and If he awakens the popular
mind, as he can and will, the Sherman
act will be repealed and the credit OF
the government and Of business will be
restored. Cleveland can arrest the
progress of selfish and plundering leg
islators by calling upon that American
Intelligence and patriotism in which he
believes and which he represents. Ev-
cry branch of business and industry is
being injured, and much worse Injury
is threatened.
Congress should be called together
and the cause and remedy plainly
stated, and the responsibility placed
where it belongs.

Artist AndersOn's ''Woman Taken In
Adultery Causes a Clash at the Fair.
CHCAGO, May 2s.-Hslsey @. Ives,
the head Of the Art Department OF the
Worlds Fair, has reused the wrath Of
the gentlemen in charge of the French
art exhibit at the Fair, and OF A. A.
Anderson, an artist Of New York, in
particular. So much indignation has
Mr.. Ives aroused that there is every
probability that the courts will be ask
ed 20 enioin him from interfering with
the management Of the French exhibit.
On the wall OF one OF the rooms con-
tanning the French pictures Is one
painted by Mr. Anderson. Its title is
"Woman Taken in Adultery" The
picture is said to have taken medals at
the Paris Salon Of 1889, and In Berlin
two years later. When Mr.. Anderson
offered It in exhibition in the U. 5. Art
DEPARTMENT, IL was refused, the reason
icing given that IL was immoral. The
gentlemen in charge Of the German,
Austrian and French exhibits at once
offered Mr.. Anderson space for his pic
ture, and he accepted the offer of
France. To-day Mr. Ives caused
Crlson piece OF cloth
20 be stretched before the
picture, claiming that ii was too i'm
moral for exhibition. The French
strongly objected, claiming that Mr.
Ives has no more to do with the pictures
in the French exhibit at the Worlds
Fair than he has with those now on ex-
hibition in the galleries of Paris. They
say that he is going too far when he at
tempts to say what other nations shall
or shall not exhibit, and they threaten
TO take the matter into the courts and
have Mr.. Ives and his crimson cloth en-
