JUMPED INTO THE RIVER.
TWO LITTLE ONES TRAGlcALLY END
THEIR LIVES
OFF A BRIDGE PARApET.

Had Become Burden to Their
Poor Mother, and Carried Out
Resolve to End Their Earthly
Career by Ciasping Hands and
Throwing Themselves Into the
Danube.
VIENNA. May 13-A sad affair oc-
CURED here today. A poor widow
named Jerabek had two children, a girl
and boy, aged eleven and nine years,
respectively. The woman was COM
PEELED to work hard to support herself
and her children. who were 100 young
to give her any assistance. The chill.
dren determined to kill themselves. and
thus relieve her from their support.
Today they went to one or the bridges
spanning the Danube and mounted the
parapet. They then hastily embraced
and kissed each other and, clasping
hands, jumped into the river. Before
assistance could reach them their bodies
were swept out of sight. When the
mother returned from ner work she
found her lodgings deserted. She be-
gan to look for the children. thinking
they had gone into the streets to play.
Not finding them, she returned to her
home, when she found note that she
had overlooked, in which the children
said that, as they were only burden
to her. they had decided to commit sui
eide. The widow is frantic because of
the loss of her children, and it is feared
that she will become incurably insane.

.GET roGErAiiR."

Sam Randall and many other Demo
cratic statesmen. both living and dead,
have gone on record as urging the
Democrats to ''get together"
The greatest opportunity ever pre-
scented the Democrats is the subscrip-
ton price of the GI.oBE,and they should
"get together" and subscribe without
delay.
The great advantage the Republican
party in Minnesota has had for years
has been the number of papers circu-
lated espousing that cause, as compared
with the Democratic.
The price at which the GLOBE is now
offered leaves no reason for longer
continuance Of this plea.
The Democrats should get together.

VERY LIKE MENACE.
Declared Dividend When There

LONDON, May 13.-It is officially an
nounced that the Ri. Hon. A j. Mum
della. president of the board of trade.
has resigned. Mr.. Mundeila. Sir John
Gorst and Sir James Ferguson were re-
Gently SUNNI oned to appear before
the queens bench divisions of
the high court of justice for ex-
animation as to the affairs of
the defunct New Zealand Land
company, of which they had been d.
rectorS. MI. Mundella stated in court
that he had resigned from the board of
directors when he was appointed to the
presidency of the board of trade. At
that time he had $50 shares of the COM
pany's stock, which he subsequently
sold. He denied that he had ever
assented to the issue of any
misleading prospectus, but he admitted
that he had given his assent to the
declaration of dividend, although the
fiscal officers of the company expected
a deficit of e341.0G0. The admissions
made by the directors at the examina-
ton caused severe structures to be made
upon them.and it has undoubtedly been
this fact that led to MIR. Mundella's
resignation.
The Times this morning says: "a
very grave public scandal has been

plausible explanation given here is that
the force that swings the earth from
the sun and the force that holds it to 1t
are equal, and so if there is liquid on
the earth's surface, it should DE drawn
from this surface directly under the
sun and swung from the earth. with
equal force, on the side of this sphere
farthest from the sun. Those tides
caused by the moon are under the same
laws. The author holds that the pull
between the sun, earth and moon is
equal to the swing from each other. and
so they must stay in their natural
orbits.

THE long-needed codification OF the
pension laws is about to be undertaken,
bills for that purpose having been IA
vorably reported to both houses of con-
gress. The laws relating to pensions
and pensioners have been so frequently
amended that great confusion exists,
and none but experts can determine
precisely what they provide. Their
coditication would greatly simplify the
process of procuring pensions, and as
sist the worthy soldiers to the small rec
ompense to which they are entitled.
1t will not be popular move with the
pension attorneys. however, who are
growing rich and fat upon the fees
they procure by reason of their famil-
iarity with the intricacies Of the laws;
but the interests of the pensioners rath-
er than of the pension attorneys should
be consulted in such matters.

IT WILL strike most people as anoma-
lous that the United States minister at
Athens should send all urgent inquiry
to the state department as to what the
American people are doing for the re-
lief of the suffering from earthquake
disasters in Greece. If the subject were
not sad and solemn 1t, would be ludi-
crous. Yet some of the papers are
calling upon the cities for donations for
Greece. Every one supposes this is a
land of plenty; and so it is. Great
donations were made to Russia, the
same to Irelaud; and more than likely.
there will be prompt response to this
last call. Yet. for some inscrutable
reason. there is Coxeyism and Kellyism
and demagogism. The reputation of,
the United States for generosity has
not been impaired by the fanatic folly
which has been On the rampage for a

ArA1R Illustration Of the way Things

A FAIR illustration of the way things
are going in the senate was furnished
Oh Thursday, when Mr.. Dolph, of Ore
gon, took the floor. He had no inten-
ton. he said, of completing the speech
he began on the Goth of last month TO-
day. He simply desired to complete the
branch of the subject he was on when
ne last had the floor. If it takes sem
ator TWO days to discuss one branch of
the tariff question, how long will it
take for him to define his position on
the thousand and une other features of
the measure? And if each senator
claims the same privilege as the gentle
man from Oregon, how many centuries
will elapse before the close of the dis
cuSsiQn?

A CONVENTION is to be held shortly
in Dublin for the purpose of healing the
feuds that exist among the Irish lead

any avail, for each party will claim to
be in the right and refuse to consent to
compromise, just as has been the case a

that there are too many men in the

none of them will step aside to give any

Several scrimmages occurred between

pants. who became comparatively quiet
when they found themselves on the
street with strong police force in the

line Of the United States Pipe CON-
pany running through the forest nine
miles from this place, has been tapped,
ami the oil, squirting from the hole in a
regular fountain, has been fired. The
line has been cut in valley and, owing
to the force of gravitation. the oil in
several miles of four-inch pipe is
crowding down to gush out of the
break. The man who broke into the
pipe line also cut the telegraph line. A
large force of men has been ordered to
the scene to fight the fire, which is now
spouting to the tree tops in fountain
of flames. The United States Pipe line
is All anti-Standard concern. The work
is supposed to be in payment Of some

Burst Troupe.

Inc dramatic season closed at the
Grand last night. 1t was billed to last
to the end Of the week, but the engage
ment of the ''She" company came to
summary close through au incident that
occasionally befalls troupes. 1t was
stated last evening that A. Y. Pearson,
proprietor of the company, is behind in
the salaries of his performers about
5700. A week ago Saturday the proper
ties of his Land of the Mid
night Sun" company were attached
in Brooklyn, n. Y. This incident
alarmed. However, the members con-.
linued in his service ali of last week.
Before the performance of last evening
the actors indicated an intention to not
go On the stage unless their back pay
was forthcoming. Mr.. Pearson was
minus the funds, but thought that the
run on this week would be good enough
to meet the demands. The performs
ers were not satisfied with this as
surance, and asked Manager Bixby to
guaranty their pay. Mr.. Bxby declined
to 90 this; but they finally consented to
go through with last nights perfor-
nance. AT the close of the show Mr..
BiXby notified the manager that the
season at the Grand was at an end.
1t is stated that the members of the
company are not stranded. they having
saved enough of their seasons salaries
to be we'll provided for.
-
The next theatrical performance at
the Grand will take place Monday even
ing, May 81. 1t is the farewell benefit
to Manager Frank L. Bixby, of the
Grand. Mr.. Blxby has formed wide
circle of admiring friends during the
years of his management of the Grand,
and all are anxious to pay their re-
spects to him by attending his benefit.

The retirement of Maj. John Wesley
Powell from the position he has long

and value.
Maj. Powell is a New Yorker by
birth, and has just passed his sixtieth
milestone in life's journey. He OBJ
tanned his education principally in Illi-
nois and Wisconsin. and took a special
course of study in geology at OberIin.
He had natural inclination to the nat
ural sciences, including natural history,
geology and botany; and he spent
great deal of his leisure time in making

A modern discussion. BY A. P. Pich-
!, ereau. Chicago. A. r. Pichereau,
:, publisher. Price, 20 cents.
, In this discussion between Professors
and Pichereau, of the Pich-
ereau School Of Physical Astronomy of
Chicago. the attempt is made to prove
that the old theory that planets are pro-
jectiles or falling bodies is erroneous,
aud that instead they are tangential-
liters. bodies that possess centrifugal
force, or tangentialfites. bodies influ-
enced by that force. If the moon wer g
a projectile the power that projected it
would have ceased to act after its first
impulse and the continual and silent
force Of gravity would draw it down to
the earth. But considering the moon
as tangentiallite of the earth it is kept
i'll its orbit by the centrifugal and grav-
ity force being equal. Whether this
new orbltal philosophy is correct or not,
one puzzle i'll the old theory of the tides
seems to be satisfactorily solved. Ii

of the water directly under the sun

opposite side should not be correspond

may judge by past experience, is very
long time. But they are not yet united
upon what they will demand. Some
want free coinage; others simply want
to pass again the segniorage bill with
such amendments as shall meet the
presidents objections. 1t is likely that
they will soon come to an agreement,
when we may expect concerted attack
all along the line. % 0
In the meantime the Interests of the
people are suffering. Every diversion
from the regular course of business de-
lays consideration of the tariff bill, Q
measure that is paramount to all others
IN the present emergency. Our manu-
factories are idle because OF the uilcer-
talnty that prevails as to what degree Of
tribute they may exact or may be, rer
CURED to pay. Our ships are lying at
the wharveS with sails furled because
they have no cargoes. Traders swill
neither export or import until they
know the prices they will have to pay
or may receive for their cargoes. Our
merchants are ordering only goods
enough to supply pressing demands,
and are selling down to the bare shelves.
None are laying in stocks for future
trade, for the new tariff bill may knock
prices up or down without a moments
warning. and it is hazardous to guess
which way the market will turn. Tho
tariff hobby is the most dangerous of
the lot. and those who are riding it with
the purpose of delaying action are pub
lie enemies, and should be held re-
sponSible as such.
Less hobby riding and more attention
to business is demanded of our legisIa-
tors. The summer is almost here. and
yet none can foresee the end of the
vexatious controversies that are dis
tracing the business and political world.
Public patience will not endure for
ever. and the sooner our senators and
representatives settle down to the bust
ness III hand the better it will be for
them.
