Distinguished Visitors at the Fair.

CHICAGO, July 8.-Unoficial informa-
ton has been received from Germany to
the effect that two. and perhaps more,
members of the royal family will arrive
in Chicago early in September. Ernest
Gunther, better known as the Duke of
Schleswig- Holstein, is already making
preparations for his visit. The Duke is
a brother of the Empress of Germany,
He will probably be accompanied BY
Prince Heinrich, brother of the EN-
peror.
The chief object of the trip, of course,
is to see the exposition; but the royal Wis
itors are especially interested in the Ger
man section. Herr Wermuth's work for
the exposition has been so highly praised
by the press OF Germany that much Curl
osity is felt among all classes to see what
the Fatherland is showing at the fair.
This feeling extends to the royal family.
1t is not improbable that Herr Wermuth,
who will soon return to Germany, will
come back to Chicago as an honorary es-
cort to the royal visitors.

Texas Adrift.
Many People injured.

New YORK, July s.-The city was
startled again late this afternoon by re-
ports of an accident on the Coney Island
elevated railroad, which connects West
Brighton with Brighton Beach. At 2.25
the passengers, numbering about 500 for
the Brighton Beach railrord who were
waiting at the station, plunged at an in
coming train in order to board it. The
light platform of boards gave way to the
unusual pressure at one end and fell
eight feet or more Here it was caught
and firmly held by heavy timbers of the
station building, else the crowd would
have been thrown to the ground far be-
low. and great loss of life would have
been probable. AS it was, fifteen or
twenty persons, including some women,
were more or less injured, the worst be-
ing torn off finger, a broken hip and a
few broken ribs. Nobody was killed.

MURDERED A FAMILY.
The Terrible Crime which Startled
North Dakota Town

CANDo, N. D., July S.-This communl-
ty was startled Saturday by the arrival
of Miss Anna Kreider, but parulaliy
dressed and almost frantic, with the an
nouncemenh that her fathers family was
being butchered by the hired man at
their home near here.
Citizens who hurried to the nome
stead found an awful spectacle OF whole
sale butchery. The father was iylng In
his bed, the mother in the Kitchen
where she had been preparing BREAKFAST;
three girls, aged respectively, IL, Ii and
years, and one 7-year-old boy were ~
ing stiff and stark where they had fallen
from wounds inflicted by d double bar
relied shotgun in the hands OF Albert
Bomberger, farm hand. Bomberger
was distant relative of the family, who
had been in Mr., Kleiders employ about
nine months.
The father was the first victim, then
the mother and children in the order
named: Miss Anna, by piteous supplica-
ton, induced the fiend to spare her life
and those of her three remaining little
brothers. AT the muzzle OF his gun ne
compelled her to prepare his breakfast,
WIN bA0 SOl p6C III llOA -
her feet. He ate leisurely, then crlmln-
ally assaulted the girl, and tying her in
the barn to prevent her escape, saddled
her favorite pony and deliberately rode
away northward.
With the aid of one of her brothers
Miss Kreider succeeded in freeing herself
and making her way to town, necessarily
leaving her brothers alone with their
dead parents.
AS soon as the alarm was given doz-
en- or more of Cando's citizens started
northward in pursuit. They struck the
trail of Bomberger, who was evidently
making for the boundary line. distant
about 40 miles. At Snyder lake, - miles
north, he was heard Of at 6.15 p. m, 80
miles north of here, and 10 miles south
of the boundary. The whole northern
end of the county is alive with men look
ing for him, and it is confidently expect
ed that he will soon be captured.
Bomberger seems to have been chatting
under some imagined want of attention
from Mrs. Kreider, who was apparently
not entirely satisfied with his work, but
from all that can be learned, he had no
stronger motive for the crime than innate
depravity. When he left he robbed the
house of all the money he could find
about $50--and some valuables.

The Gentle Art of Charming.

A man says that a woman to be clever
at conversation must have good mem
ory. She must keep in mind so much
as she knows of the tastes and prejudices
Of those present. If So-and-so's brother
fought in the Egyptian war, if such
one has Scotch ancestry, if such another
had dear friend or an aunt or some
body who went on the stage, if such an
other has written poem on mortality"
and has opinions on Immortality and SO
on, Of each and all she must remember.
And Gas you said the other day" is a
good way to introduce pungent re-
mark; or, Gas your fayorite author has
it" which shows hattering regard for
ones preferences. All these tricks, if
you call them so, must be studied. Don't
try to make man think how clever you
are. Make him think how clever he is.
Brighten him up Lead him on to say
witty things. 4
You may even coax him up to a joke,
be he as glum as Pharaoh's ghost Re
mind him Of clever things he said s'the
other day." Never mind if they are in
ventions Of your own. Never mind if he
knows they are. So long as he does not
imagine that you know they are, you are
all right. Tell bright things about him.
1t won't take long to make him feel, es-
pecially if he is really dull fellow, that
he is a lot smarter than even he thought
himself, and he will correspondingly
adore you. A man is apt to frizzle IN
der the fire of your own humor and wit
and brightness, and of course man is
never comfortable when he frizzles.-

liable grain dealers and millers. covering
every section of the six principal winter

against 230, 10000 bushels in 1892.
Ohio is the only one of the six states
which will have as large a crop as wear
ago. Indiana promises an average cron.
Michigan nearly an average; Missouri
two-thirds and Illinois q trif1e less than
two-thirds. Kansas will have only half

Return of the Orkney Mermaid.

News has reached Kirkwall that the
mermaid" has again made her appear
ance at Deerness, Orkney. The creature
has arrived at the same place now many
years in succession, where it remains all
summer, disappearing in the winter and
returning again with fine weather. Last
year large sum of money was offered
for its capture, and sportsmen tried to
kill it. AS it struck out to sea immedi-
ately it was fired at and was never
again seen till now, it was thought it
had been wounded or killed. Natural
ists who have got full description of
the mermaid think it is an ocean seal,
but the people Of Deerness, who have
watched it closely for years, say it has
few If any of the seals habits, and main
tain it swims like a human being. AT
the present time it may be observed
daily, being very partial to bright sun
hhine, but it rarely appears on dull days,

COMm1IS III. w ASHlNGTON,
July 7, 1898.
The season at the mountains has OBJ
ened, and despite the attractions at Chi
cago, bids fair to be very successful
one. The houses throughout the region
are all open, and the Glen, Waumbek,
Crawford and Maplewood have a large
number of guests.
Most of the hotels celebrated the
Fourth, but it was cloudy upon Mt.
Washington that night and those who
had come up to enjoy the view, lost both
view and the fireworks which most OF
the houses displayed.
The Glen House has had large num-
Der of guests, among them being large
party of Mr.. Miiliken's friends, who

has always been very tiresome, and the
Glen House is now building hutin the
ravine, which will give pleasant resting
place. There is a great amount of snow
III the ravine and the snow arch will be
the flnest for years.
The carriage road up Mt. Washington
is in fine condition and the travel over Il

LAuRELs FOR PHELPS.
The Eloquent Advocate Closes the Case
Before the Arbitrators.

PARIS, July S.-The Hon. E. j. Phelps
OF counsel for the United States, finished
the closing address before the Behring
Sea Tribunal of Arbitration today. He
opposed the British proposal to establish
twenty mile zone within which sealing
should be prohibited, basing his objec-
ton on the ineficiency of the proposal
and upon the impossibility of setting the
limits of the zone effectually Mr.. Phelps
closed eloquently before large audience
and every word was listened to with the
closest attention. :
Baron de Courcel, President of the
tribunal, complimented Mr.. Phelps upon
his skill and eloquence in discharging
the difficult task of closing the eloquent
debate after his friends on both sides had
striven to make the performance as
arduous as possible. ''You have per-
formed the duty devolved upou you,"
said the president, Sin manner desery-
| ing of admiration. You have blended
| the deep science of the lawyer with the
| refinement of the man of letters and the
| diplomatist. The court appreciates the
delicacy of touch with which you have
handled matters already before us in
manifold form. I beg to be allowed to
consider the laurels yon have won at this
1 cosmopolitan bar as an addition to the
wreath of honor you have conquered in
other fields of the Old and New
! World.''
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for Great
Britain, expressed gratitude for the
courtesy of the court, and Mr.. Phelps
concurred, adding that the president S
part in the case was one of those happy
| memories which formed the best inheri-
tance of declining years.
The arbitrators will hold a private
| sitting Monday.
