Judge Cooper has heard the de-
murrer filed in the divorce case of
Henri G. McGrew by G. L. Garter,
his guardian, vs.. Alphonsine Nc

that the statute does. not allow

into Court and ask for a decree of
divorce but that the statute may
allow it to a libellant against the

GREATEST IN THE WORLD.
KiraIfy's Projected London Amusement
Park VIII Cost a Million.

KiraIfy's Projected London Amusement
Park VIII Cost a Million.
Imre Kiralfy is at the head of a COM
pany of English capitalists which pro-
poses to take long lease of Earl's
court, in the west end of London, and
build one of the greatest amusement
parks in the world. The plan for the
enterprise is outlined by Charles b. At
wood, the Chicago architect who de-
signed the Art building and other struc-
lures of the fair. He has just returned
from London, where he has been as
sisting Mr.. Kiralfy. 1t is proposed to
produce a replica of the Court of Honor
as it appeared at the Worlds fair. The
reproduction is to be exact and on a
scale of one-third. The lagoon, the Mac
Monies and electrical fountains, the
peristyle and the facades of all the
buildings bounding the court will ap-
pear.
Arrangements will be made to re-
produce all the grand electric light eff
fects on fete nights. Other features of
the amusement park will be Ferris
wheel, so feet larger in diameter than
the one at Jackson park; a theater ca
pable of seating 10, 900 people, in which
will be produced America" and a
large hippodrome, such as are conduct
ed in Paris. Over 81 900, 600 Will be
expended in the work of construction.

TAKE PART OF THE TIPS.

Grievance of the Paris Walters Which Ii
Considered just Grounds For q Strike.
There is much dissatisfaction among
Partisan walters, and general strike
among them has been spoken of. It is
estimated by their trade society that
there are $1,000 of them out of work,
and the men contend that the masters
take advantage of this to cut down
their earnings. Practically, fixed wages
are unknown. The men pay so much to
the masters in proportion to the bust
ness they do. Thus in great cafes on
the boulevards they have to pay at the
cash desk the full selling price of what
ever they serve plus s per cent. In some
cases. it is said, the rate has been in
creased of late to 614 and even ~ per
cent. Of course this percentage repre-
sents portion of their gratuities, which
they have to give up.
In Paris the general rule is for Gus
toners to give tips" at the rate OF
halfpenny for every 10 pence expended.
This is at the rate of per cent, which
would show loss to the waiter of 81
per cent on the larger percentage. In
practice, however, the tips are higher,
as no one gives less than penny, how
ever small the purchase, and some Gus
toners, of course, give more than the
recognized Northumberland News.

Horrible Abuse of Children.

A horrible disclosure has been made
In Biskipitz, Austria, by the arrest of a
pang of men who for some time have
been engaged in Gripping children for
the begging trade. Several unfortunate
children were found in the house. with
their legs and arms broken and bound
i'm positions of deformity. One little
girl had both eyes gouged out. lnstru-
ments which had been used IN produc-
ing physical determines were discov-
cred in the cellar. After the children,
who had been stolen, were sufficiently
deformed they were sold to other persons
for begging purposes.-Vienna Letter.

NE INSOMNIA RECORD
An Indiana Farmer Sets the Mark High and
Puzzles the Physicians.


Puzzles the Physicians.
Since the case Of George Woodruff,
the Rossville Qnd.) farmer, has been
made public through newspaper ac-
counts of his strange affection numer-
Gus inquiries are being received from
medical men in all parts of the country.
MIR. Woodruff is a substantial farmer,
well known in his and adjoining coun-
ties.
Some two months ago upon retiring
ss usual at night he found himself IN
able to sleep. Woo it as be would, sleep
would not come. The next night he
was also unable to sleep, but felt no
worse for his wakefulness. For two
months he has gone with less than an
hours sleep. On the third night ply
stefan was called, bet even under the
influence Of opiates Woodruff refused to
close his eyes. The only thing which
conquered his ailment was quart of
whisky, taken in rapid doses, and that
only produced half hours sleep. Then
his attending physician gave up the job,
confessing his inability to fathom the
mysterious ailment. He had heard Of
people sleeping Indefinitely, but here
was case of man who couldn't sleep
at all, and who was apparently none
the worse off because of it. Several
other medical men took hand at Wood
ruff, but each was in turn baffied.
Woodruff complains only of slight
distress in his stomach, but his appetite
is unimpaired, and he attends to his
duties as he did previous to breaking
the record as man who defied ordl-
nary rules of nature and TO whom it
was all the same whether it was night
or day. About three years ago he had
a similar attack, but it lasted only a
week.
Reports of his strange disease became
current several days ago, but they were
discredited. To satisfy all doubters
Woodruff has made statement of the
truth of the reports. His physician and
family declare that he has slept less
than an hour in two months, and that
all his faculties are unimpaired. His
physician will make extensive COM
ments on the case for several medical
journalists. Louis Republic

The Rally at Springfield.

Springfield, Mo-, Oct 23.-Several
thousand people were at the depot at
6 o'clock this evening, with the Second
Regiment band, to welcome Vice-Presi-
dent Stevenson to the city. A mighty
cheer went up when the vice-preSident
and his party alfghted from the train.
Long before the appointed hour for
the speaking, every seat in the grand
opera house was taken and hundreds of
ladies were present in the boxes and
on the platform.
The greatest enthusiasm reigned.
Among the hundreds of distinguished
persons on the platform were Senators
George c.. Vest and V. NJ. Cockrell,
Congressman John T. Heard, Frank
Walker. encouragement of Missouri
Judge H. S. Priest, of the United States
court of the eastern district of Mis-
souri,; United States District Attorney
John H. Walker; United States Mar
shall Joe Shelby, and c. c.. Maffitt,
chairman of the Democratic state COM
mittee, and many others of state repu-
ta'tion.
Congressman Heard introduced the
vice-president, who was received by a
storm of applause, most of the people
rising from their seats.
His principal topic of discussion was
the tariff, which he discussed for an
lioui. LIE DeIilocrdCc congress MAD
reduced taxation enormously and was
criticised because in one single year it
had not undone what the Republican
party haI done in thirty-three.
AIT the close of the vice-president's
address Ex-Governor David r. Francis
made a speech also, saying that the
tariff reform was the great issue of the
day He commended the income tax
feature of the Wilson act
Senator Cockrell next made vigor-
Gus speech, which brought out the
greatest demonstration of the evening.
He said that the Wilson bill contained
more tariff reform than the celebrated
Mills bill, which was satisfactory to
the Democrats everywhere. He went
over the cardinal principles of the
Democratic party in a most eloquent
manner, and was cheered at the close
of nearly every sentence.

Discretionary Pool Frauds.

Pittsburg, Oct. 23.-The run on dis
cretionary pools continued today. Two
or three of them are paying investors
who refuse to be persuaded that the
institutions are solid, but others are
relying upon the thirty-day notice to
give them time to settle or leave town.
The Office furniture of the Public Stock
and Grain Exchange was levied upon
this morning at the suit of Mrs. Till
man, of Altoona, woman who invest
ed 5000.
George NJ. Irwin & Co., in the discre-
tionary pool business two years and
supposed to have 100000 on deposit,
have suspended payment and demand
ed five days notice of withdrawal.
The scenes today at the city hall were
a repetition of those of yesterday. During
the entire day persons flocked to police
headquarters to seek the advice of Sup
erintendent OMara and other police Off
GERS as to their mode of procedure in or
der to secure the money they had placed
in the discretionary pools.
Five additional informantions were made
against William, Charles and Henry De-
laney, all charging the parties sued with
conspiracy to defraud

Little Rock Ark, Oct Blast nights
programme in the great carnival of crime
which is now holding the boards in the
Indian Territory, consisted of the whole
sale robbery OF several small towns in
genuine desperate style by Mr.. Bill Cook,
supported by a strong and desperate
company of eight or ten followers.
Four men rode into the town of Watova
early in the evening, making their ap-
preach made known by a promiscuous
discharge of firearms. The bandits ter
rorized the Inhabitants and most of them
sought safety in their houses behind bar
ricaded doors. The outlaws visited every
store in the village and ran the merchants
away with Winchesrers and revolvers.
They took from the stores all the money
they could find, and whatever else they
wanted. The Watcva postoffice was
robbed of about $50 in cash ana about
Sos in stamps.
From WatoVa the gang. ran on into TSala
ten miles away, where they repeated their

The secretarr,x yieu..

Secretary Smith, in his letter to the
war department, says that in view of the
obligations of the government as set forth
in the treaty with the Indians in Indian
territory TO protect the five civilized tribes
against domestic strife and hostile in
Vasion, and to guarantee those people
peaceable enjoyment of the country,
he recommends that the troops be sent as
requested. 1t is expected the troops would
be used to hunt down and drive out the
T.arauders who are harrassing the peo-
pie.
Agent Wisdom today wired the Indian
office asking authority to incur the nee
essary travelling expenses of the Indian
police in assisting United States mar
shalS IN hunting down the thieves and
making arrests. Such authority was
granted.
These communications reached Acting
Secretary Doe at the war department this
afternoon and after reading them care
fully he referred them to General Scho-
field, commanding the army.
General Schofield looked into the matter
and then returned the papers to the act
ing secretary with a suggestion that the
request for troops be matured and con-
sidered with a view to ascertaining the le-
Gality Of the proposed action. This in
dorsement from so high an authority on
the complex relations between the mill
tary and civil branches of the govern
ment will undoubtedly cause the wa de-
acting on this request for troops and in
The end may result in refusal.
The Indian Territory differs from other
territories from an administrative point
of view in the fact that the national
government IS bound by treaties with the
Indians to project them from domestic
violence.
But in the absence of express stipula-
ton and law, it has been held this protec-
ton must be extended exactly as it is to
the inhabitants of other territories, name
ly, through the judiciary. The posse
commitatus law prohibits the employment
of troops as provided by organic law, and
that law provides first for the exercise of
the judicial power in quelling lawlessness
and that for the employment of troops
on application of the judicial officers, based
on their inability to enforce the process
of law. So far as the war department is
advised the judiciary of the Indian terri
tory has not appealed for the assistance
of troops. AS in the case Of disturbances
of last summer, the government will not
move until such application is made and
after the judicial officers of the express
company to secure governmental protec-
ton for their service, and the officers are
by no means well disposed towards the
project Army officers in charge of af-
fairs feel that the express companies have
not gone as far as they should in the
direction of guarding the. property con-
fided to them, and hold that by placing
twelve or fifteen determined and fearless
guards in the express car they could soon
check the attacks of train robbers, which
endanger the lives of the passengers.

A. Crank Caught.

New York, Oct ga man named
Reilly, who says he is a marble cut
ter has been arrested in Newark, where
he was seen with the striking cloak
makers who went there TO attack the
house of a man named Gellard, where
the work was being done for the New
York factory. In his pockets were let
tiers addressed to Mrs. William K. Van
derbilt, Chauncey NJ. Depew, George
Could and Superintendent Byrnes.
He said that the one to Byrnes was
simply a query whether he had receiv-
ed a letter from Reilly about the recent
mysterious murder in which a descrip-
ton of the murderer was given. The
others were of a rambling nature, half
begging and half threatening. He told
the police that he would do anything
to help the strikers and down the cap
italists, and the last few days he pa
trolled the avenues near Vanderbilt
home, watching for an opportunity to
kill some of the family.
He says he has written several let
tiers to President Cleveland.

THE WHEEL.
zimmerman,s Plans.

Florence, Italy, Oct. 23.-zimmerman,
the American cyclist, has signified his
intention of devoting another season to
racing in Europe, and that he will
leave New York early in the spring of
1895, and proceed direct to Florence.
The cycling enthusiasts are some
what jubilant over the prospect of the
American champion making Florence
his headquarters, the same as Paris
constitutes the European home of
the Zimmerman retinue this season,
and they have begun already to make
dates. The racing circuit in Italy COM
prises besides Florence, Rome, Turin,
Milan, Genoa and some smaller critics.
Zimmerman has written to confirm the
statements concerning his plans for
next year, but it is known that he has
not been averse to another year on the
track, provided he could get back to
racing shape.

San Diego, Cal, Oct. 23.-This city
and neighboring towns were visited
this afternoon by a series of earth
quakes of more than ordinary severity.
The first shock occurred at 1903 p. M,
and was followed at intervals of a
quarter of a minute by two others, the
last being one of the strongest eX-
perienced hereabouts since the coming
of Americans.
People in brick houses swarmed into
the streets, hearing the startling grind
of brick and mortar and seeing, in
some cases. the walls crack A heavy
sound was heard in all parts of the
city Immediately preceding the quake.
Considerable CONSERVATION was caused
in the public schools, the children in
some of the rooms being hastily dis
missed
Clocks were stopped, windows and
doors were shaken sensibly.
The second shock was observed by
but few people, being very light and
coming when all were talking of the
first, but the third was so pronounced
as to bring the people into the streets
without delay.
IclcpuOuc uleSSdSeS 1IUul OOIOHdQO,
Upper Otaydam Campo, National
City and other places showed that the
quake was felt about equally at all
surrounding points.
Loose rocks were shaken from the
hillsides and ratified down the canyons
and a heavy groan or booming noise
accompanied the tremors.
The weather observer reported an
other slight shock at 4:25 o'clock, not
SO strong as the first ones, but quite
perceptible. 1t was not felt on the
ground. The waves came east to west
in all instances.
So far as known, no damage was
done.
