fArURpAY EVENING. SEPT. %, 1894.

Now THAT election day is approach
ing, the Pennsylvania newspapers are
urging the voters of that State to call
mo the collectors and pay their po'i
tax. without a receipt for which they
will not be allowed 10 vote. fenhsyi-
vapia is republican by a large majority
and the ratio of negroes to her White
population is insignificant. Virginia is
democratic, and nearly half her popuia-
ton is composed of negroes. But sut-
frage here is unrestricted, and people
vote who never paid a poll, or any other
tx in oil their lives, and who don't
know the difference between the Eng
lish and the Chinese alphabets.

Shot Her Drunke. Husband.

NEW YORK, Sept. Coco. ]. Young,
a railroad brakeman, was shot three
times in the head by his wife, at their
home on Ninth avenue, at 1890 o'clock
this morning. The Youngs came here
from Texas. Young came home soon
after II o'clock this morning very
drunk. The two women had also
been drinking. Young had a quarrel
with his mother.in-law and began to
pound her with his fists when her
daughter stepped between them. As
Young, in his fury, turned on his wife,
she drew a revolver. Young turned
an fled down the stairs to escape, but
he was shot before lie reached the
street. Mrs. Young and her mother
were arrested. In the police station
Mrs. Young turned to her mother sud-
denly and said why did you give
me away, mother ?" When Sergeant
Lowell attempted to question Mrs.
Young, she refused to answer. Then
she turned to her mother again and
iercely said Remember, you are my
accuser.n Mrs. Foster made no reply
to this, though she was deeply affected.
A jagged cut over her right eye and
bruises on her face co%rroborated the
story that she was assaulted by her
son-in-law before he was shot. Young
died at the Roosevelt Hospital at $50
o'clock this morning without having
regained consciousness.

AS THE ANTI ormanites of Maryland
are supporters of both Governor Brown
and Mr.. Rayner-who wants his place,
Senator German has contounded them
by supporting the latter, thus
playing one against the other. Ray
ner's and Germans friends together
will, it is probable, be able to secure
the election of their favorite, and thus
the Senator, as usual, be the victor, as,
from a party standpoint, he deserves
To be.

BAND AND Music WANTED.-Alex-
andris is perhaps the only city of its
population and size in the coun-
Try without two or more brass
bands. 1t is estimated that q thous.
and or two dollars are paid an
nually to Washington musicians for
music at balls, parties and other enter
tainments. This money ought to be
kept at home, as there is sufficient tai
ent here which only needs organization,
and as the social season is about to open
it would pay q good leader well to or
ganize a good orchestra.

Mrs. Laura Ashton, ofLoudoun coun-
ty. became incensed a few days ago
with MI. G. F. Williams, supposiRg
the latter had led her husband away
and caused him to become intoxicated.
The irate woman accosted Williams
and finally struck him with q stick.
The assailed man, who had a riding
whip in his hand at the time, dealt her
several severe blows, and soon render
ed her hors de combat, and upon reach
ing home she sent for a doctor. Later
the man and woman appeared before a
magistrate and Williams was fined SIC.

A MANUFACTURING company in Can
ada whose employees are numbered by
the thousand are making arrangements
10 cross the border and move their plant
with them, in order to avail themselves
of the free raw material provided for
by the German bill. So it seems that
the "per6dy" bill not only helps the
consumers by reducing the price of what
they have to buy, but the manufacture
ers also, by enabling them to get the
material of which their products are
composed at cheaper rates.

ACCORDING to the official report OF
the interstate commerce commission,
while the government ownership OF
railroads would greatly increase the
number of government employees, 1t
would put an effectual stop to railroad
strikes, as such strikes would be mutt
nous and reb%ellious, and be squelched
by U. S. forces on the instant. And
then, too, it would greatly increase the
cost of railroad fare and freight, and,
therefore, of living, as a comparison
shows that such charges are a great
deal less in this country, where the
railroads belong to private corpora
lions, than in those in which they be-
long to the government.

A LIVELY SCENE.-Last night Mrs.
Fields, wife of Lawyer Fields, of Wash
ington, learned that her husband was
at Kate Anderson's house, 143S D
street, with a woman. The wife went
to the house, seated herself in the par
lor and declared she would not leave
until her husband did. Some one mott
fed the lawyer that his wife was there,
and heslipped out the back way with the
other woman. They wentto the Owen
House, where MI. and Mrs. Fields re-
side. They had scarcely got there be-
fore Mrs. Fields arrived on the scene.
Fields and the woman entered a coupe
at the door and told the driver to drive
for his life. Mrs. Fields ran a block in
the street bareheaded, and caught an
other cab and followed. All of the
messenger boys on Fifteenth street
heard her cries of stop that cab," and
followed on their BICYCLES. Along
Fourteenth street, New York avenue
and Seventh street went the strange
procession. The chase was hot and
finally Fields jumped out. took another
cab and got away. The horses to Mrs
F.elds's carriage fell down from e1
haustion. Officers stopped the cab in
which the other woman was teaming
up Pennsylvania avenue, but did not
arrest her. Fields got back to the
Owen House at 2:15, but left again.
Mrs. Fields got back ten minutes later,
and at last accounts was standingj ust in
side the main door waiting for her hus
band, and vowing to be reveDged oa

IT Is SAID that Secretary Lamont is
the Presidents favorite for the demo-
cratic nomination for Governor OF New
York. Mr.. Lamont was Mr.. Cleve-
lands former clerk, and has since been
his constant friend and adviser. 1t is
therefore by no means unnatural that
the latter desires to see him preferred
But, if the Secretary be fond of public
life. he should hold on to his present
position, for it is doubtful if any demo
crat can be elected Governor OF New
York next November, and certain that
no mar who endorses the Presidents
party policy can be.

Mr.. BENEDICT, of Connecticut, the
capitalist, and we'll known as q close
friend of the President, has declined
the democratic nomination for Governor
of his State, for the reason that there
arc so many anti Cleveland men in his
party there, and that they will not be
disposed to be enthusiastic in his sup
port. Well, men suffer from their
friendships as we'll as their loves, but no
true democrat believes in vicarlous
political punishment, mol will en-
gage in a sympathetic political boycott.
True democrats always support their
party's nominees.

SOUTHWARK REPUDIATED.-MaJor
Joseph Walker, Wray T. Knight and
Beverly Taylor, constituting a majority
of the republican committee of the Srd
district met at Richmond yesterday
and repudiated the action of J. w.
Southwark and John Mitchell, jr., the
members of the minority faction, in
calling a convention which nominated
Southwark for Congress. The resolu-
tons adopted say: mo republican is
under any obligation to support the
ticket so conceived in sin and born in
iniquity, but on the contrary, the said
ticket is unworthy of the support OF
republicans of the district"
The resolutions deprecate the efforts
of Southwark and Mitchell to raise the
color line. Southwark and Mitchell
are declared 10 have by their conduct
Withdrawn from the republican organ
..ization, and their positions in the COM
mittee are voted vacant, and Q. W..
Harris, of Manchester, and R. N. Turn
err, of Goochland, are nominated to sue
coed them. The secretary was directed
to send 8 certified copy of this action of
the committee to Chairman Malone
and to ask his approval of it.
The committee announced its inten-
ton of opposing Southwark through the
national COMMITTEES. The intelligent
element of the party there will vote for
Col. Tazewell Elicit, the democratic
nominee. Mr.. Southwark says he does
not see why he should be opposed when
there is no other republican candidate
who wants the nomination, and he de-
clares his purpose of carrying the re-
publican vote of the district and secur-
ing the Endorsement of the national
oomriffaa

THE ODD FELLows.-At yesterdays
session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge
of Odd Fellows at Chattanooga, Repre-
sentative Rixey, of Missouri, sought to
amend the report of the committee on
patriarchs militant by making all mem
bers of the scarlet degree eligible for
admission into the patriarchs militant,
but the proposition was defeated. The
judiciary committee report that sup
port of the widows and the mainten.
ance of the orphans of deceased Odd
Fellows is a legal obligation, and that
the Grand Lodge has full power to
make reasonable and necessary assess
ments upon subordinate lodges to pro-
vide and maintain homes for such de-
pendents. The special committee ap-
pointed to investigate the misappro-
priation of funds at Fargo, N. D., re-
ported that the Fargo local committee
had received $4,000, and the actual
relief extended was only about $2,2OO.
The committee found that the action OF
the Fargo brethren was censurable in
the highest degree. The Grand Lodge
of North Dakota was ordered to at once
see that all attention was given to relief,
if actual distress prevailed, and all
other funds at once be returned to the
donators.
At the third annual meeting of the
Odd Fellows National Press Associa-
ton, the title of the organization was
changed to the Odd Fellows %Interna-
tional Press Association, and the fol-
lowing officers were elected for the en-
suing year: A. L. Voorhis, Topeka,
Kan, president; John Reynolds, Indi-
annapolis, Ind, vice president; j.. Bour-
let, Concord, N. H., secretary and treas

INK CRYSTALS.

Flo, uniformly. Let it dry for few min
htes; then examine with microscope,
magnifying from 80 to 200 diametcrs, and
you will be able to see the flowers of ink in
process of formation under your eyes
that is to say, regular white crystal parti-
plcs, which dotach themselves from the
black or violet medium and arrange them
selves so as to form regular figures.
These crystals may be varied indefinitely
by modifying the conditions of evapora
ton, adding more ink, etc. tits quite pos
sible that different inks will give different
results. The inks used by a writer in La
Nature authority for the foregoing, have
h basis of sulphate of iron and gallo acid.
,If you are pressed for time, this beautiful
result will easily be obtained by passing
the sheet of glass over spirit lamp or
handle to evaporate the moisture. The
crystals will then be smaller and more
numerous, presenting the appearance of a
dark armament densely sprinkled with
bright silvery stars, but if you have pa
tience to wait for evaporation without
heat you will obtain larger crystals of
more varied forms, arranging themselves
hs crosses, flowers etc.

do suffer from the optical delusion OF los-
1ng six inches Is there not a sense OF
quaintness and comfort in a room that IL

ant and coy are the old farmhouses with
low timbered ceilings. This sense of snug
ness is well illustrated at the chateau OF

rooms are comparatively low and are col
ored a sea green blue, to which is super
added an abundance of colored and stem

they may be successful in deeper and rich
