WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.-Democratic
members of the house committee on APP
preparations declare that they will re-
fuse to make appropria tions for or to
permit the work of printing Maj. Ben
Butterworth's Worlds fair speeches
under appropriations already made.
The report from New York that the
Cincinnati eX-congressman was revising
the speeches which he made in connec
ton with the Worlds fair with view
to having them printed at public ex-
pense has brought out an authorized
announcement that if the speeches
come to congress in any form whatever
they will net be printed.
1t is stated that Maj. Butterworth,
acting under the impression that all of
the speeches made at public gatherings
in connection with the Worlds fair
We're to be published as public docu-
ments by the government, is complet-
ing the manuscripts of the revision and
expects them to make quite "a book
Most of the speeches were delivered at

1T MEANS DEATH
To Bctray Any Of the Youthful Clark Coun.
ty Outlaws.

~ Outlaws.
COLUMBUS. o., Feb. ~. Through the
arrival of Clark county prisoner at
the penitentiary Friday II weird com
pact entered i:.to by band of young
outlaws comes to light. The prisoner
is orville Morris, an 19-year-old boy,
under sentence of one year for bur-
glary. A short time ago Orvillc and "
pal burglarized a hardware store at
Springfield, securing Il number of re-
volvers, rifles and shotguns.
Orville was armed with all his booty
when he was captured, presenting the
appearance of a walking arsenal. His
pal escaped. Vigorous efforts were
made during the trial to have Orville
disclose the name of his pal, but he per-
sistently refused to do.so 1t has de-
veloped that the two young burglars be-
longed to n youthful band of outlaws,
one of the rules of which was that any
member betraying his confederates
should be killed. The organization
was the outgrowth of dime novel
literature, but so tenaciously has the
rule of death for betrayal been OBJ
served that the authorities to this day
are unable to ascertain the identity of
its members

MARLER HANGED.
He Talked For Ten Minutes on the scafro!d
Hut Did Not Confess

PIyEylILE, Ky, Feb. 0.--The sheriff
| read the death warrant to Mnrler al
$3.50 o'clock Friday morning. and he
was dressed for the executions. He
slept very little during the night and
prayed most all the morning. The con.
demned man was allowed an hour by
Sheriff Colson, which he devoted to
talking with his sisters and spiritual
advisers. He was very nervous. The
drop fell at 1905 and Marler was dead
in thirteen minutes He talked for ten
minutes on the scaffold, but did not
confess. NIurler's is the first legal
hanging that has ever occurred in Bell
county.
The crime for which Bob Marler paid
the penalty was the murder Of
Mrs. Mary f. Bowdcn, who was
at the time keeping a board
ing house for miners at the Mingo
mines, near Middlesborough The deed
was done on Monday, August as, 1893
AS the early train on the Middlesbor.
ough Belt railroad was going from the
town to the Mingo mines, and when
about one-half the distance had been
made, the few passengers in the one
coach of the train were startled by a
report of gun, q crash of u window
pane and cry from the lady passen'
ger. 1t was found that q bullet fired
by some one on the outside had passed
through the window within u few
inches of the head of the conductor,
John Chapman, and had struck
Mrs. Bowden, who was seated on the
opposite side of the car. The wound
was mortal, the unfortunate woman
living only about twenty-four hour.
after it was inflicted. The train was
stopped, but nothing could be seen OF
the murderous miscreant who had fired
the deadly shot. A clew, which after.
ward proved important, was, however,
discovered. Rain had fallen the night
before and the ground was consequent
ly soft. Near an old stump alongside
the railroad tracks were found as OF
one man who had worn shoes which
We're not mates. The shoe on the one
| foot made a plain track, while that on
| the other showed that it was studded
| with hob-nails. The track was fol
lowed to near the home of George Mar
Ter. With that clew for start, the

The Marlers had quarrel with Mr.
John +. Long, n lumberman, over a

on the train, and Bob Marler, when he

Mr.. BLAND
sElated Over the Success OF His silver Bill
He Declines Now to Make AHy Modifica-
tirs,a


tions Concessions.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-Reprcsenta-
tive Bland is SO elated over the support
which his bill has received that he de-
clines now to make any'of the modifi-
cations or concessions which Thursday
he volunteered as compromise. The
bill, therefore, objectionable as it is,
will pass the house probably Monday.
The only purpose of the opposition
made by eastern democrats is to con-
vince, as they say, the business inter-
ests of the country that the eastern
democracy still remains pledged to
sound money, and that the silver heresy
is advocated only by the democracy Of
the south and west. This, they says,
is the only reason why they keep up
their opposition. The administration
has failed to come to their rescue, and
there are not enough repu blicans who
will vote with the anti-silver men on
Monday to defeat the bill
Mr.. Bailey, author of the resolution
declaring it the sense OF the house that
Secretary Carlisle has no right to use
the money obtained by the bond sale
for the purpose OF meeting the eXpend-
itures of the government, said Friday
afternoon that the passage of the Bland
bill would make unnecessary at this
time the adoption of the resolution.
There are various reasons for Mr..
Bailey's sudden change of plan. One is
the announcement that the elections
committee is anxious to call up one ot
the contested election cases. and since
it, unlike the judiciary committee, is
privileged, Mr.. Bailey would probably
find it difficult to bring his resolution
before the house. Again, Secretary
Curlisle's tacit acquiescence in the
Bland bill, SO far as the first section is
concerned, makes it necessary for the
house to pass the Bailey resolution, es-
pecially as there is probability that
the senate may adopt similar resolu-
ton, offered by Senator Quay.

An Ohio Congressman Expires Suddenly
From Heart Disease.

From Heart Disease.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Hon. George
w. Houll, of Dayton, died suddenly
Friday afternoon. The congressman
was visiting at the house of Mrs. Rey-
nolds, friend, on Connecticut avenue,
after having attended the session of
the house. He expired without appar-
ent illness. Heart failure is the cause
given by the physicians. The remains
will be taken to Dayton Saturday, in
charge of Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms Ike
Hill and congressional escort.
The congressman was apparently in
good health when he left the capitol,
but became very i'll soon after reaching
the home of Mrs. Reynolds. In at
tempting to change his position he fell
to the floor and expired soon after.
Mrs. Houll notified her son, Mr..
Thurston Houls and her two daughters,
Mrs. II. L. Mead and Mrs III. L. Tai
bott, at Dayton, Immediately.

A real sardine salad is not made OF
those little fish that come in oil and
are so high-priced; it is of the salted
variety, which You buy by weight.
Take half pound of these, soak an
hour, changing the water at least six
times. Pull them apart, taking out
the spine, and cut one of the halves
into strips an inch long, coiling the
other half into little rolls; these last
are for garnishing. Use some gherkins
some mixed pickles, little smoked
salmon and teaspoonful of capers;
mix all together with three parts of
oil to one OF vinegar; pile the heap in
your salad bow! and garnish prettily
with lemon slices and quarters, cold
boiled tongue, stoned olives a few
picklcd oysters, and the little rolls OF
sardines. St Louis Republican.
