Now THAT Conductor Goodman has
been convicted OF being bad man and
been sentenced to eighteen years in the
peDitentiary for numbering Colonel Par
sons, the few other railroad conductors
who are prone to treat passeng gers uu-
civilly and rudely, may possibly con-
ceive the ides that they are not above
the law, and that their insclence, too,
may DE reported to their employers.
Railroad companies may, it is also
hoped, learn that it is upwise to give
the names of compliments to those who
are complained Of.

A DISPATCH from St. Paul, MINI

A DISPATCH from st. Paul, MIMI,
says:
"As result of their connection with
the recent strike, large number OF
railroad men in this city are making ar
engagements to leave this country,
claiming that they have been placed on
the black list on all the railroads and
can secure no work, no matter whether
there are.vacancies or not"
Well, what else could they have,
reasonably, expected, when they welt
on their strike with no grievance OF
their own against their employers, and
when, as their own leaders testify before
the investigating commission, their OBJ
ject was to injure the business OF the
roads =? Would it be material for en-
ployers to give work to men who with
out any grievance had destroyed their
property and done all they could to
ruin their business

An INSANE Fathers DnFs-
Thomas Hewitt, an iron moulder made
an attempt Saturday to kill lis Vile
and four children at Kearney. y.
He then sprang from window and
ended his life. Hewitt had been suf-
fcring for some time from TYPHOID
malaria. Early Saturday morning he
entered the room where his wife am!
children were lying and gashed his
throat with q knife. Mrs. Hewitt
screamed at the sight he presented and
sprang toward him. He raised the
knife and exclaimed: Julia, our tine
has come" With this he pushed the
woman aside and sprang to the bed.
He made vicious lunge at the eldest
child, a boy of seven years, with a
knife. He appears to have been so ex-
cited he could not see, for the knife
buried itself in the bedding between the
child and another two years younger.
He drew it out and struck again and
again at the children, but they had
been awakened by q scream from the
mother and he inflicted no seriou, in
jury, although ali of the four were more
or less cut. Mrs. Hewitt threw herself
between her insanse husband and tie
children. In endeavoring TO catch bis
arm she received bad stab wound on
the arm. Mr.. Hewitt then sprans
through the windew, carrying the sash
and wire netting with him. He landed
on his head, fractured his skull and died
an hour later.

SENATOR VEST openly charges Mr.,
Cleveland and his Cabinet with ap-
proving the Senate bill! in private and
condemning it in public, and says "the
Presidents letter to Chairman Wilson
was not in consonance with rules Of
conduct that should govern men in
public life" He also says: Il do not
think my obligations to the democratic
party constrain me to remain silent
under treatment SO unjust as that OF
the President toward the members OF
the democratic members of the finance
committee. l have no apology to
make, and shall not complain if the
stupidity which characterizes the dis
cussion of this matter drives me from
public life" Mr.. Vest is right; but ne
IS old enough to have learned, long ago,
that in countries of unrestricted suf-
frage, ignorance and stupidity, even
with free schools and cheap newspa-
pers. must, of necessity, not only always
prevail, but always be in the majority.

EIGHTEEN YEARS IN THE PENITEN-
TIARY.-Capt. Thomas Goodman was
found guilty Of murder in the second
decree in Covington Saturday evening.
He killed Col. ii. C. Parsons, on the
Doth of June last. When the verdict
was announced most heartrending
scene occurred. Mrs. Goodman, who
had borne up under the trying ordeal
Of the past ten days with almost Spar
tan courage, gave way to a poignant
grief that was agonizing to her and
painful to tae spectators. She leaned
her head upon the shoulder of her hus-
baud and sobbed loud and bitterly.
The prisoner seemed struck dumb with
horror and disappointment and when
he dropped in his seat, after hearing the
verdict, turned to comfort mis- wife. His
sorrow did not find expression in tears,
for when he left the courtroom his eyes
were dry and his step firm and elastic.
The grief stricken wife's weeping in-
terrup,ed the proceedings of the court
until the sherifi's cold, unsympathetic
voice shouted "Silence in the court
ROOM" and then she was almost borne
away from the scene by her husband,
accompanied by several staunch friends
who had gathered around to comfort
her. The prisoners daughter, Miss AL
ma, beautiful girl of seventeen years,
who stood in the door of the jailer's
residence, only few feet from the
courtroom, nervously awaiting her
fathers fate, heard the shrill sobs of
her mother, and, surmising the result,
rushed into the house, where she fell
into paroxysm of grief.
The killing of which Goodman was
convicted grew out ola letter which Col.
Parsons wrote to the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company, for which
Goodman was conductor, accusing the
latter of immortality and of improper
advances toward woman who rode on
his train. Goodman and Parsons had
words over the matter, and after the
latter had refused to make retraction
Goodman shot him. He pleaded self
defense at the trial and made strong
but unsuccessful effort to show that
Parsons had moved his hand backward
as though to draw q weapon. The
shooting occurred in the lobby of the
Gladys Inn, at Clifton Forge, on the
morning Of June % last.

declares that the people of the west
coast are exceedingly fond Of dancing.
He once tried to tire them out, but as
long as he could raise his hand to his
violin they continued TO dance. and he
was forced to desist.
ONE of the most famous early ballet
dancers was Mile. Maze, who. being
ruined by Laws financial schemes.
dressed herself in her finest robes and
committed suicide publicly by jumping
off a Seine bridge at noon in the pres
ence of thousands of people.
MARIA TAGLIONI, the danseuse, was
the daughter of an Italian ballet
master. She was born in 1904, wenton
the stage in 1922 and continued her APP
~pearances in public until 1s47. when
she retired. Her greatest successes
were in La Bayadere, La Sylphide and
La File du Danube.

while David is also represented as
doing a pas seul before the ark.
THE ballet d'action is said to have
been revived from ancient models by
