THE HOMELESS.
4 Touching Scene at tho Quarters of the
Chicago COmm0nweal Army.


Chicago Commonweal Army.
There had been speech by the gen.
eral, and the men had sung their ''On
to Washington song Then General
Randall called out sweet faced girl in
shc-'- dress and wide brimmed straw
hat .@.% ...# 49,
Comrades, have little girl here, >
said the leader, my daughter, Media
Randall should call her the daugh-
ter Of the regiment. She will sing you
a song, and want you to join in the
chorus.''
The men gave three cheers and tiger
and threw their caps into the air. Then
for moment there was silence. Then
next >nstant the sweet voice of the girl
was heard. 1t was not high, but it pen
etrated into all the corners. Some of the
men had appeared Indifferent, but be-
fore one line of the song had been sung
their attitudes changed. All had heard
it sung before, but before the song was
half finished there was tear in the eye
of many a commonwealth. Several caps
were dotted and many heads were hung
as the little singer repeated the meas
ures. General Randall stood there, h.t
in hand, with bowed head. Near him
was Mrs. Fanny Kavanagh, weeping.
1t came to the chorus The general
raised his arms and swung them. The
men fell in, and 400 husky, quavering
voices joined in and sang:
Home, home: sweet, sweet home;
There's no place like home.
The scene was too much for the wom-
en-. They bowed their heads, covered
their eyes and wept. Little Moida sang
the second ;'erse; the men again Joined in
the chorus. This time it could be heard
block away. *'There's no place like
home.' The men who had gathered
in the street outside out of curiosity
heard the song, and they grew suddenly
quiet. When it was finished and the
little girl drew back, the men became
almost wild with enthusiasm. But it
had been almost too much for the wom-
en-, and when the general next called
upon Mrs. Kavanagh, the president of
the Woman's Commonweal society, to
speak she was still sobbing She could
scarcely speak, and she asked that Mrs.

forth the grievances of the shoemakers
Of j. J. Lattemann, prominent among
which is the assertion that women have
been grossly insulted by superintend-

Sheln, Ham and JaDIlet.

Whatever one may believe in re-
gard to the Bibeical account Of the
estimate placed by Noah upon the
merits and capabilities of his three
sons, Shem, Ham and Japher, there
can be no doubt that there is a wide
difference between the Semitic people
and descendants OF Japhet, as to the
direction of their mental activity.
Religions and PHILOSOPHERS have
had their origin in the East, indicat-
ing that the Semitic mind concerns
itself more with philosophical refec-
ton and speculation than with the
improvement of earthly surround
ings. The Teutonic nations, on the
other hand, though for ages behind
their Oriental brethren in philosophy
have always been intensely practical.
"What revelation will this bear to
us now?' :'HOw will it effect our
present condition." have been the
two supreme questions. Conse-
quently we find the TeutOnic peoples
the pioneers in discovery, in the me-
chanic arts, and as we might expect,
the inventors Of the steamship, the
railroad, and the practical improve
ments which develop modern civili-
cation. No country is more
thoroughly practical than our own,
and here it is that we find the great
est and best equipped railroads of
the world. Occupying the front
rank is the Burlington Route, with
it's 1000 miles of track, reaching all
points in the central west. For
maps and time tables of these
lines, call on your home agent, or

"A confession duplicating Harry
Hayward.

Minneapolis. Special.-At $50 last
evening the dead body Of Miss Gather
inc Cling, a dressmaker with parlors
in the Syndicate block, Minneapolis,
was found lying in a desolate spot on
the side of the country road, half a
mile west of Lake Calhoun, With Il bull
let In her brain. About Z o'clock last
evening she engaged a carriage from
the West Hotel and drove away alone.
The man who found her body met
the carriage rapidly driven to town
by an unknown man. Later in the
evening the carriage horse, minus the
driver, entered the livery stable from
which it was hired, and when the
owner of the stable examined the rig
he found blood and brains scattered
about the bottom of the carriage, and
on the back of the curtain, which had
been torn as though woman's body
had been thrown through it.
Miss Cling had been living at the
Ozark apartment house with her niece
Miss Louisa Ireland. who is n very
pretty and accomplished girl of sew
entecn years old and who moves i'm the
best society.
The murder created great sensa-
ton IN Minneapolis and completely
mystitied the police.
Harry Hayward, who was known to
have been Intimately acquainted with
the dead woman. was taken in custody
and put through Il sweating process
by the police. He was able to prove
an alibi and was released, but was
subsequently rearrested and charged
with the murder. 1t was learned by
the police that he had loaned Miss Cling
$1,000, taking as security $4,000
life insurance policy. Adry Hayward,
brother of Harry, was also arrested
and made a confession, stating that his
brother had disclosed to him the de-
tails of a plot to get rid of Miss Cling.

Adrv Talks An,in.

Minneapolis, Dec. 11.-Adry A. Hay
ward, who was taken TO the st. Paul
Jail, has made IL further confession
regarding the murder of Miss Cling.
He says that a criminal operation was
performed upon Miss Cling about three
weeks before her murder, and that it
was probably for this reason, as well
as to secure money, that his brother
Harry plotted to kill her. Adry
claims that his brother is hypnotist
and that he was afraid of him. Adry
says that Harry offered him $4,000 to
kill Miss Cling, and when he refused
Harry threatened to hire a man to
kill him. The object of Adry's removal
to st. Paul was ostensibly to protect
him from influences that might be
brought to bear upon him to make him
change his base on his confession.
That he will be carefully taken care of
Is assured by the fact that he is strict
ly In favor OF telling things that must
invariably hang his brother, and may
possible lead to II disagrecable quarter
Of an hour for himself. In which he
will be very closely in touch with the

MABELIS HYPNOTIZED
STRANGE OCCURRENCES IN THE
EAU CLAIRE CASE.
DR.. Plckin's Alleged Victim Says
That She Is Again Under His Com
trOl-Another Girl Found to BE in
the Same Condition.

Eau Claire, Wis.,, Dec. II. - The
facts about the strange occurrences
the past forty-eight hours in connec-
tiOn with the Briggs s-Iickin case are
just coming out. Mabel Briggs re-
lapsed into what would ordinarily be
called Il state Of nervous prostration
Saturday night and declared she was
under DIR. Pickin's control again and
that Alma Leonard would be found In
the same condition.
In his endeavors to rouse Mabel
from her lethargy Mr.. Briggs. her
father, fired two shots from II revol-
yer. A crowd gathered around the
Briggs residence. Two doctors We're
called, and Mabel was finally taken in
a carriage to the Leonard residence,
where Almo Leonard was found to be
in the same condition as Mabel. After
Alma had been revived to some extent
she operated by mcsmeric methods on
Mabel, who was brought to something
like her normal condition again. Both
time to time suffered what seemed
to be Il complete nervous collapse, but
which they declared was the hypnotic
control of DR.. Pickin. To-day they
were somewhat better. During peri
DDS of comparative mental equipoise
Mabel Briggs. with one hand on her
forehead and pad of paper on her
knee, rapidly wrote answers to all
questions asked her. and in this way
described events which were occurring
elsewhere in the city of which she
could not possibly have had knowl-
edge by ordinary means. This is testi-
fed to by some of the best citizens of
the town. The girl wrote from right
to left, reversing the letters so that the
writing could only easily be read by
reflection in mirror. She notified the
people present of the whereabouts and
identity of persons who were ap-
preaching the house and made no mis-.
takes.
These things are creating state of
amazement which it is hard to exag.
gerate. About fifty leading citizens
are closely interested in the phenttn-
ena and have witnessed them. One
of the cases against pickin will prob
ably be called in circuit court tO-lnor-
row.
