The story comes from Washing
ton that little Ruth Cleveland, the
eldest daughter of the President, is
afflicted with a strange malady
which makes her mind a perfect
blank. The story goes that her
brain will not develop, and her
mind is useless. Another story is
to the effect that she is a deaf mute.

A Warning TO 0id bachelors.
In a recent breach OF promise case
in Chenango county, New York, a
jury gave the fair plaintiff 80 900 for
her broken heart and blasted affee,
ticns, although there was no claim
that there was verbal promise OF
marriage. 1t was simply case in
which the young man had been
keeping regular company with
the young woman for long time,
and ''the court left it to the Jury to
say whether or not they would lnfe,
that there was an engagement oil

The doctrine of s'ilnplied engage.
ments, says a New York contem,
porary, was laid down twenty years
ago by the New York court of ap-
peals in the following language
CONTRACTS of marriage are unlike
all others. They concern the highest
interest of human life and enlist the
tenderest sympathies of the human
heart, and the acts and declarations
of the parties negotiating them are
often correspondingly delicate and
emotional. As a matter of law the
learned judge Gin the court below
was clearly right in holding that no
formal language is necessary to con-
stitute the contract of marriage. If
the conduct and declarations of the
parties clearly indicate that they re-
gard themselves as engaged, it is not
material by what means they have
arrived at that state" !"
In other words, a young man has
no right to become the "regular
company of a young lady, drive off
all other competitors by attention
which can have but one construc-
ton, and after enjoying the monop-
oily of all this sweetness for several
months or years, sheer off in pursuit
OF some other pretty girl with the
declaration that he meant nothing
by it. The pretty girls of the present
will not allow this sort of thing, and
young men who attempt it will find
that they have made mistake. It
will be better for them not to keep
regular company" with young
ladies unless they are prepared to
keep company through life with
them, or to answer for their deceitful
conduct in a court of law, where
Cupid always becomes a satirist, and
where the delinquent lover has to
stand fire OF ridicule as well as a
verdict of damages.

Hicks June Forecasts.


i Fair weather will prevail in most
parts of the continent at the OPEN
ing OF Jnne. A storm period, to-
! gether with the new moon, is central
on the 3rd. The conjunction of Jup.
liter and Neptune with each Other, as
well as the earth and moon, all be-
ing on line with the sun brings TO
bear combination of rare occur
renee, and which, no doubt, will
affect in perceptible way the general
meteorology of our globe. A warm
wave of much severity will pass
over the country from about the End
to 9th, the center of dangerous storm
disturbances being on the Sd, 4th
and 9th. There are marked indi.
cations OF earthquake perturbations
on and about these same dates. A
wave of cooler air from polar regions
will flow in after the disturbances
and dominate the weather for several
days. On and touching the 9th and
10th it will grow very warm again,
and series of rains and storms will
set in, with many prospects of con-
tinuing indefinitely. This is the
entrance of the summer solstiee, and
showery, stormy weather, with un-
usual displays of lightning, may be
expected until the solstiee period is
passed.
A storm period is central on the
14th, an equinox of Mercury is CEN
trail on the 10Th, and the full moon
is on the 18th, all within a few days
of the earth's turning point on the
21st. Therefore, many startling
electrical storms win be natural from
about the 14th, until after the reac-
tionary disturbances due normally
on the goth and 21st. A peculiar
and often surprising featiire OF these
solstice storms, is the tendency of
clouds to whirl into retrograde mo-
ton, storms appearing to arise from
easterly directions, and drenching
the earth with unlocked for down.
pours. This solstice period being
well within the Jupiter period many
very heavy rains and local cloud
bursts will be most natural. About
the 22nd to 25th much cooler wealth.
er may be expected with a probable
cessation of rains and storms. The
last June storm period is from the
26th to 29th, during which time
wave of intense warmth will pass
over this country, as well as other
parts of the globe, and many atmos-
pheric and electrical disturbances
may be expected about 26th to 29th.
The Venus equinox, central on July
11th, promises rain for the most of
that month; but we believe the
tendency will be no local cloudburst,
with dryness covering many wide
districts of the country. As a pre-
cautionary measure, We urge all our
readers to make all possible provis-
ions for retaining in cisterns and
ponds all the water possible, during
the rains in June and the first half
of July. In case of late crops give
your soil thorough and repeated
plowing as soon as possible after
rains. Never let it bake, especially
in July.

GAVE FALSE FIGURES.
Testing Machine Used by the Carnegie
 Company So Manipulated.

Company So Manipulated.
 WASHINGTON, June 9.-Lieut. Albert Alderman, of the United States navy, was heard yesterday by the house com mittee on armor plate frauds. He was one of the naval board which investi- gated the first charges of fraud. His evidence covered in detail the irreg- ularities in treating specific armor plates. He had heard that Su- perintendent Schwab and other officials and employees had an interest in the Carnegie company, and had, therefore, a motive in passing plates not up to the standard. Lieut.. Acker- man told of the manner in which his suspicious had been excited as to the irregularity of the work. He found that certain lines of work would be stopped when he entered shop. One of the superintendents, MT. Kline, had misled him on various details of the work.
 His general distrust of the manner of making armor at the Carnegie works had influenced him to look with sus- picion on every plate. His own experi- ence and the affidavits of informers had corroborated these suspicious, and he had assessed damages against the com pany as a result of his own knowledge and his suspicious.
 Lieut.. Alderman told of the investi- gation of the second or supplemental charges. This testimony developed a new branch of irregularity as to the manipulation of a testing machine used by the Carnegie company. The machine was operated so as to give false figures. Disclosures were also made as to serious defects in two plates of the Monterey and one in the Machias. Lieut.. Alderman said blowholes were positive defect aad could be avoided. In this opinion lis statement differed from other naval officers The witness described the serious blowhole in 13-inch armor of the Monterey. A wire feet long had been inserted in the hole.

LAST OF BILL DALTON.

The Notorious Outlaw Shot and Instantly Killed by an officer In the Indian Terrt-
 tory.
 PARIS, Tex, June 9.-After contin. uous chase of over three weeks, the Longview bank robbers were rounded up near Ardmore, l. T., yesterday, and Bill Dalton, the notorious outlaw, train and bank robber, was killed by the off cers in their efforts to arrest him.
 It had been given out that the pur- suit had been abandoned, but the mys- | terious movements around the office of United States Marshal Williams showed that he was in the possession of val uable information. Monday night he left here with several trusted deputies for point on the Canadian river.
 It transpires now that on Monday two men went to Duncan, I. T., a town on the Rock Island railroad, and made number of purchases. They paid for the articles in bills on the footed bank. The bills looked to be new, but they had been wet and creased. A tele- gram was sent to Longview giving the number of the bills, and the answer promptly came that they were the missing bills. Officers were posted at once, and went on their trail.
 Thursday a man and two women went to Ardmore and bought lot of guns, ammunition and other things. They were in the wagon purchased by the two men at Duncan on Monday. The man had plenty of money. He was known there as worthless fellow, who never had a cent. An officer peered into the wagon, found a five gallon keg of whisky, and arrested the man and woman as whisky peddlers, and held them.
 A strong detachment of officers i'm. mediately took the back track of the wagon, and yesterday found Dalton. He was taken by surprise but made an effort to fight, but the officers were toe quick for him and shot him dead. In- structions were sent from the marshall $ office last night to have the body em- balmed, as there is reward of several thousand dollars on Dalton's head. The deputies who killed him wired they have positive proof that it is Bill Dal- ton, and that he committed the rob- bery.
 Bill Dalton was the third son in a family of ten children. He, with his brothers, Bob and Grat, killed at Cof- feyville, October 5, 1892, and Emmett, now in the Kansas penitentiary, made a record of crime not second even to that of the James and Younger brothers. They will probably never again have equals in this country. The march of civilization will prevent the opportun- ity.
 The Daltons were Missourians by birth, but moved to Kansas, settling near Coffeyville in their youth. They bore but mediocre regulations as out laws until in October, 1892. Grat, Bob and Emmett Dalton, Dick Broadwell and Bill Powers attempted to loot the Condon and First national banks at Coffeyville. The raid resulted in the death of four citizens, the serious wounding of three others, the killing of Grat and Bob Powers and Bradwell, and the wounding and capture of Elm

Money for the Indians.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Under one of the provisions of the Indian appropria- tion bill $3, 15l, ,1s1, principal and accu- mulated interest on the bonds of southern states held in trust by the government for the Indians will be sold and the money apportioned. The Indian tribes which will re- ceive this sum are the Chickasaws, Cherolees, Delawares, Iowas and Choc- jaws. The money is due in payment for old reservations, and the states have defaulted in payment of interest, which has accumulated until the total has been swelled from an original principal of s1 100000.
