THE LETTER CANE BACK.

a Warning to Lovers who Write to Their
Best Girls and Forget the Address.
''Do you know" said Mr.. Man to his
friend the other evening at the roof
garden, that the boys at the club have
a merry and most distressing find on
me. l suppose it's one of the inevita-
BILE consequences Of renouncing bache-
lorhood that a man lays himself open
to attack from the most unsupported
quarters
Now, loyal citizen as ! am, I have
received a bitter blow from the United
States government. Il stabbed me,
using the dead letter Office rs q dagger.
1t was like this: Just month ago at
the club l wrote letter to the girl I
am going to marry. l had told only
one or two of my intimate friends OF
the engagement, and we weren't going
to announce it until fall. Well, as I
was saying, l wrote to Alice Jevons
that day at the club, and told her how
fond was of her. I loved her very
hard that day, and used some strong
away with my pen, 50 to speak.
ITO make short story little long
err, sat down by the window to direct
the envelope. l got to gazing on the
feecy clouds floating across the blue
depths of the sky, and thinking about
her. as a man does. you know. Well, l
suppose l directed the letter wrong.
1t never reached her. Instead of that,
a month later, came q nasty looking
official envelope addressed to Loving
Tom," in care of the club. The post
Office people hadn't been able to find
the girl, SO they tried to send the drivel
back to the one who wrote it. and their
only clew was the signature and the
engraved letter head.
We'll, nobody ut the club could
fancy who Loving Tom was, SO the
house committee opened the envelope.
The first thing they saw was Dearest
Alice, and the first sentence was abso-
lutte insanity. Then they recognized my
writing and forebore to read further"
Mr.. Man stopped to wipe from his
brow the perspiration which sprang
forth at the thought of his mortifica-
ton. We'll, there's just one thing
about it" he added thoughtfully. IN

IL is known who the senators are
that ''held up the Democratic maj
ority and forced the sugar schedule
and other concessions that have Me-
Kinleyized the Wilson bill. Their
names have been revealed under
oath by senator Vest.
Before the sugar investigating
committee Vest testified that sena-
tor German was the leader of the
small band OF Democratic protec-
tionists who call themselves "Con-
seryatives," and that with him were
Brice, Hill, Smith of New Jersey,
Gallery OF Louisiana, and White,
then senator from Louisiana.
This evidence, coupled with that
OF senator Brice to the effect that it
these concessions had not been
made 10 tariff bill would have been
passed, is of the highest value. 1t
lifts out of the realm of newspaper
reports" the methods Of the Cor
man "hold-up." IL opens the jeal-
ously guarded door of the commit
tee-room and discloses the names
of the Democratic McKinleyites.

sibility for the defeat OF Democratic

What is most Objectionable about
these lynchings, as regards their ef-
feet on the community at large, Is
not so much the manner in which
death Is inflicted, cruel as it some
times is, as the fact that ii is infiict-
ed without inquiry or trial OF any
description, as the London Specta-
tor observes. Fancy the effect of
this on the Southern youth. Mis-
takes as to the guilt of accused per-
sons are constantly made after pains
taking investigation by competent
tribunals; what must be the number
of these made ky mobs 2 Can there
be more awful fate for a human
being than to be done to death by
crowd of furious murderers for a
crime of which he knows nothing 2
Mr.. Aked tells of negro woman
who was seized, stripped and hanged
for poisoning her mistress. IL came
out afterwards that it was her hus-
band who had done il. There Is no
use in trying to believe that a COM
munily in which such things occur
aud in which they increase in num-
Der year by year, is advancing in
civilization. II can not be.
Curiously enough, the southern
press is, in some instances, meeting
foreign criticism in precisely the
old way in which it used to repe!
comments on slavery. The Savan-
nah Morning News, foi instance,
warns the British Foreign Unitarian
Association that cit is meddling in
a mattero which il knows nothing,
and therefore what il does and says
is not likely to be productive Of any
good.7
Civilized men all over the world
will, however, keep talking about

T. e. W., the tariff-reform con-
tributor to the New York World
predicts that the house will reject the
senate tariff-bill, and that no COM
promise measure can be devised that
will be acceptable to both branches
of congress. He proceeds:
"What, then, can be donel A
simple way ont Of the difficulty is a
ten-line bin repeating the Mckinley
act, with the exception of the sugar
schedule, and anadditional line plac-
ing all sugar, raw and refined, on the
free list. If the conference COM
mittee cannot agree upon any other
it can agree upon this. The Demo
cratic party is pledged to the repeal
of the Mckinley act. II has but
forty-four members out of the eighty
eight. 1t cannot substitute for the
Mckinley bill a proper revenue tariff.
It has not been given sufficient pow
er by the people 10 do that, for the
Republicans still retain sufficient con-
troll of legislation in the senate to
prevent the Democrats from prepar-
ing and passing a proper revenue
measure to take it place. The best
they can do is to repeal the Mckinley
bill, as they have promised. This is
possible. Not one of the forty-four
Democrats in the senate would hcsi-
tate for moment i'm voting for its
repeal. A return TO the Republican
tariff of 1883 would be proper, wise
and conservative action. It would
please large masses Of the Republican
party who are bitterly opposed to the
Mckinley extortion act. 1t would
give them confidence that the Demo-
cratic party intended to proceed con-
servatively in Withdrawing protection
to favored industries" !"

The New York Commercial Bul.
letin publishes an article by DR.
Prime, showing how the reckless
destruction of forests is running the
Connecticut river as we'll as drying
up the surrounding country. And
what DR.. Prime says OF the Con-
necticut river applies to hundreds
Of other American streams, great
and small, along whose course the
axeman has done his work. We
quote
"The Connecticut river, given
over to The timber drivers, has be-
come a canal. Reefs are blasted
out. Bulkheads are built to turn
the current into the central chan
nels. The melting SHOWS, no longer
held back in the spongy MOSES oi
the forests, and the spring rains are
hurried swiftly down in freshets,
which destroy property in the low
er country. The freshets are util-
lied 10 bring down every spring
the timber from thousands OF acres
where no pine wood will ever grow
again. The summer comes, hot
and dry, with low water in the riv-
ers, which were formerly full all
The summer from the slow drain out
of the dark shades in the upper
country. The natural reservoirs,
which thus gave out slowly their
reserves of water, are gone, and all
the water comes down with a rush
after every rain. Manufacturing
companies everywhere have found
it necessary to make artificial reser-
voirs to take the place of the lost
natural reservoirs. Hills that were
once forest.covered are bleak masses
Of rock, growing dryer year by year.
If there were ever an instance OF
killing the goose that lays the gold
en- eggs, it is in this method of
treating our northern forests. In
hundreds OF valleys, where water
was abundant in former years, the
water line in the ground is now be-
low the reach of ordinary wells.
The tendency is toward that condi-
tion which in century or two will
compel a resort to irrigation Tor or
binary agricultural purposes.

A single tree my prospect Is
or All the lavish greenness
That summer yields, 1 haYe but this
In place Of utter leanneag
Hemmed in By walls OF brick and stone,
This one green outlook Is my own.
But breadth Of land and sweep of sea,
Have failed OF such attraction,
And bloomy gardens granted me
Less simple satisfaction,
Less thankful sense Of happiness,
Than now In one tree possess.
II shuts all sordid things away,
All pleasant things enhances
It flls the silence day by day
With summers sweetest fancies.
Brooks babble, wild flowers smile for me,
And forests murmur, In my tree.
Birds, too, and butterflies and bees,
Throng In It's compass narrow
A choir OF rippllng harmonies
hear In one brown sparrow;
A CLINT Of sudden sunshine brings
The dream Of many-colored wings.
All, gift divine what sorrow curbs,
What bitter fate can nout yon?
Better with yen . meal of herbs
Than the stalled OK without you
For eyes that you anoint can see
AL natures beauty In one tree.

UTICA, N. Y, May l5.-Bernhardt
Alteuberger, who shot Katie Rupp at
Snake Hill on Sunday, is in custody in
this city. His capture is due to the
newspaper descriptions of him.
When the North Shore limited on the
New York Central left Albany this
evening two citizens of Rome went
aboard. In the newspapers they had
bought they read an account of the muir
derous assault on Katie Rupp, and as
the young woman was from their city
they became interested.
The men arc Jay Capron, prominent
Republican politician and former deputy
sheriff, and Chauncey Hurlburt. They
had hardly finished reading the article
when they noticed in seat opposite to
them a young man, stylishly dressed,
who seemed to fully answer the deserip.
ton of Altenberger.
They studied his actions and decided
to cause his arrest when tho train
reached Utica.
When the train arrived here, at 1925.
Hurlburt followed the suspect while
Capron called for policeman. The
young man went into cafe at the depot
and purchased glass of beer. Just
after he drank it Policemen Cheney
and Jones arrested him.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nav 15.-The
battles Of warning highbinders in China-
town have taken new turn. The fury
OF these numbering bands is now being
wreckad upon the helpless women who
arc the slaves of highlander masters.
1t has long been an unwrltten law in
Chinatown that life should be taken for
me- and whenever highlander has
been murdered the members of his tong,
Or society, have invariably taken the
lie OF some member of the tong whose
members were supposed to have dono
the killing. In this way highbinder war.
iare, when once started, claims many
victims.
On the Sth instant Choy Gin, Chi
nese woman, who was an inmate of a
Church alley brothcl, died in the re.
ceiying hospital from a bullet fired into
her head by an assassin, whom the
police could not discover. Fairly this
morning second woman, named Ouce
Sing, was murdered in a Dupont street
brothel, The fact that this mornings
victim is chattel Of highlander leader
whose tong rivals that to which the frat
Victlms master belongs, is sufficient
proof to tho police that higkbinde-Ss'
lealoqsies are at the bottom OF the two
brutal murders.
Neither OF the helpless women he'd
zone anything to provoke her AsgaRLir's
actlon. More murders Of sinilsr
character are looked for These help
less women are valued 81; their masters
IN Chinatown all the way irom 81 900
to $1,000, and the highhnae, most
sensitive point is his purse. Never an
assassin is known 10 the police.
