AWAY THREE WEEKS.
Peculiar Disappearance and Return
of Mr.. Aubrey.

of Mr.. Aubrey.
New York. April 5.-John F. Aubrey,
ffty-three years old, disappeared from
his home S15 DeKalb avenue, Brook
lyn, about three weeks ago with $1,000
in his pockets His hair and mustache
were then jet black. Tuesday after
noon Mr.. Aubrey appeared at his home,
sick and dazed, his hair and mustache
were turned gray. Pinned in odd por-
tons Of his clothing were $500 in bills.
Mr.. Aubrey was met at the door of
his house by his wife. His clothing
was travel-stained and worn out. He
was almost bereft of the power of
speech. A physician was called, and
Mr. Aubrey was, at once put to bed.
The doctor forbade any attempt to get
Mr.. Aubrey's story from him.
Mr.. Aubrey was able to say that he
Went to Jersey city with $1,000. with
which to buy out a candy store for his
son. He met the owner of the store
and went with him into a Newark
avenue saloon where they got drink
This is the last thing Mr.. Aubrey says
he remembers until he found himself
on a train running into Los Angeles
Cal. He says he took the next train
back to New York.
Mrs Aubrey says that her husband
was a very affectionate man and never
used strong drink. She cannot &C.
count for his absence in any other way
than that he was drugged, robbed and
shipped off on the train. She could no.
explain how it was that all his money
was not taken.
Mr.. Aubrey complains constantly q
violent pains in the head and much O.
the time is delirious. The attending
physician says his mind has been un
balanced by some drug.

a Natural Result.

The local situation politically in Kan
sas City is most unfortunate from a
Democratic standpoint, but is the nat
ural result of the methods in vogue
there for several years past. Purifca-
ton within the party has long since
been demonstrated an imp0ssibility
and from the oppressive control of the
push" was only a question of time.
1t is to be deplored that high-handed
methods have in the past apparently
had the Endorsement of some Dem
ocrats Of high standing, and this fact
only served to delay the split in the
party. The scenes of two years age
in the primaries aroused an indigna-
ton in the ranks of fair minded Dem
ocrats which should have been accept
/ ed as notice not to repeat the high
handed trages.-Clinton Democrat.

lative, but no further severe decline
was expected

SPEND YOUR MONEY.
Rich People Should Spend Their
Money on the Poor.

Nothing can exceed the stupidity of
the average moralist when bent on
criticism. DO you know that New
York never has been gayer than this
season?" exclaimed a woman not long
ago. Since Nero played while Rome
burned, there has been nothing like it,
The fate of Babylon is before US
What would you have people do?
Economic whetherfit is necessary or
not? Put on sackcloth and ashes and
make life as miserable as possible 2"
Rich people should spend their
money on the poor. Think of the
thousands out of employment who
need help and can't get it. You seem
to have no sympathy with the unfor-
tunate." Without waiting for a reply,
this superior person walked off with
toss of the head, a Scorn in the eye and
stiffness of back that reminded me of
Miss Mugs in Barnaby Ridge who
''hated and despised her fellow crea-
lures as every practical Christian
should" | had not heard of this per-
son doing any good among the poor,
whose battle she professed to fight. but
l had heard that while amply able to
spend as much money as ever, she had
discharged several servants and given
up her carriage. Having made what
she regarded as great sacrifices, she
wrapped herself in virtue and went
about reproving society.
Suppose everybody followed this
woman's example, what would follow ?
She reminds me Of the old story of a
rich man who, frightened at hard
times, determined to reduce his eX-
/ penses. Going into restaurant where
he was in the habit of dining, he
ordered beer instead of champagne.
The amazed proprietor fastened to ask
whether there had been anything the
matter with the last bottle his patron
had drunk.
Nothing whatever replied the
patron. Times are hard; nobody
! knows what will happen next and I've
! concluded I'll drink beer for the pres
emit"
Here was a blow to the caterer. He
! had promised his wife new bonnet or
the supposition that his steady pat
rons would spend their usual amount
! of money. If so rich a man as Jones
gave up champagne, Smith might give
up beer and Robinson stop eating alto
| gether Under such conditions where
would the caterer be? Sadly perpleXed
he went to his wife saying, ''My dear
/ Mr.. Jones is a great business man anC
says he can't afford to drink any NOR
| champagne. Ii he is poor, think of thu
rest! Goodness knows what will be
come of us! You must give up tn
bonnet 1 promised you"
Greatly depressed at the outlook
this good wife went to her milliner AM
rescinded her order for that bonnet
much to the milliner's distress who, il
her turn, had intended to make som
purchases for her family with the pro
fits from this order. Thus the pessim
ism and unnecessary economy of a rio
man made itself felt straight throug
society and created distress where com
fort might have been.-Kate Field

New York Women who work.

There are said to be one-quarter Of a
million girls and women in New York
earning their own livelihood. OF this
number 10 per cent. are married wom-
en- and per cent. are widows or wives
divorced from their husbands The
wages vary, according to the statistics,
from $50 week, the price paid cash
girls. to SIS week, which is paid the
best stenographers. The higher paid
professions do not seem TO have been
investigated. In Chicago OF 5,099 wom-
en- workers in 1893, filling 474 different
occupations, over one-half earned from
81 to 81 a week; $50 earned less than
81 a week and 1,429 earned from 81 to
S25 a week. OF this number per
cent. were married and 3 per cent. were
widows or divorced wives.-New York

FELL IL THE FLOOR DEAD.
Sudden Death That Looks Like Sui

New York, April 5.-Mrs. Anna
Schwartz fell dead while singing as
she prepared her husbands breakfast.
At least that is the story told by her
husband, though some Of the neighbors
think she committed suicide. Daniel
Schwartz ran into the Third precinct
station house and notified the ser
geant on duty of the death of his wife.
Anna got up about 6 O'clock" he
said, land commenced to prepare
breakfast as usual Our bedroom is
just off the dining room, and as 1 lay
in the bed half asleep. 1 could hear my
wife singing as she sat at the table.
All at once her song ceased, then a
chair toppled over and 1 ran into the
room. My wife was lying at full length
on the floor dead
Schwartz says his wife always
seemed in excellent health, never COM
planned Of heart trouble, and he could
not see why she should attempt sui
eide. for her home was happy and he
gave her money enough to support
their family.

Chicago, April 5.-Judge Gibbons to-
day sustained the demurrers filed by
Acknowledgement Maloney to the pleas
of the whisky trust to the quo warrant
proceedings. The pleas set up .gener-
ally that there was no unlawful COM
bination as charged in the information,
land asked that the quo warranto De
dismissed.
TO this the encouragement demurr-
ed raising the issue that the pleas
were insufficient, and that the DEFEND
ant, the alleged trust, should De com-
tpelled to answer more fully.
Judge Gibbons sustained the demur-
rer holding the pleas insufficient and
will give the defendant further time 10
| plead again.
In the course of his opinion, Judge
| Gibbons said: TT appears, without
contradiction, that this defendant cor
| poration has absorbed eighty-one olhel
! corporations. and that it controls the
nrice and output of the product man
fractured. 1t is difficult to conceive
what difference 1t makes, so far as the
public policy of the state is concerned
whether this corporation bought 1ne
stock of the other corporations or madf
a combination in the manner clalmeo
by the defendants counsel. II the re.
cipient of those favors, rights anc
franchises be a corporation created
solely for an unlawful object, its eX
listence is illegal and may be terml
at should hardly require aid Of {
precedent for a court to decide as
matter of law that any syndicate Of
combination who owns and controls
Ieighty-one distilleries and the produc
ton of the same is a dangerous com
bination and that it should fall undee
the ban of outlawry as contrary Il
sound public policy"

Helena, Mont, April 5-one of the
most brutal murders ever committed
in the state of Montana, occurred near
Fort Benton last night. A young
Swede named Ole Sillidard, started to
a settlement some miles out in the
country, engaging as a guide worth
less rounder named John Osnes When
near their destination Osnes killed his
companion by cutting his throat with
knife. He then dragged the body by
the heels fifty feet into a washout,
rifled the pockets and came back 70
Benton His appearance excited sus-
picion and search revealed the dead
body of the young Swede. Osnes was
arrested and there was considerable
talk of lyncfing him, but it is thought
this will not be done.

SEALS IN THE COMMONS.
Bill Passes the House Amid Great
Cheers.

Bill PASSES the House Amid Great
Cheers.
London, April 5.-Replying to Sir
George Baden-Powell today,in the house
of commons, Mr.. Sydney Buxton said
the Canadian government generally
agreed to that of Great Britain as to.
the Boring sea trouble, but the Ca
madam government objected to some
Of the details of the bill.
Sir Charles Russell then moved the
second reading of the bill, dwelling on
the fact that the position taken by the
late Lord Iddlesleigh, on behalf of
Great Britain, had been constantly adj
hered to since. Sir Charles afterwards
proceeded to justify the governments
decision to submit the Bering sea ques-
ton to arbitratio Sir Charles declared
the award established the claim that
British subjects had been injured by
seizures of their vessels, and he took
the opportunity to say President Cleve-
land had not been slow to recognize
that claim.
Mr.. Balfour said the course of the
government seemed wise. 1t had not
lost a single moment in moving the
adoption of the bill to carry out Great
Britain's obligations, and in doing this
act of International justice he and his
( colleagues would give their hearty sup
I port.
| Sir George Baden-Powell strongly
objected to the treaty. Some Of the re-
lations, he declared, were ridiculous
while at the same time many import
ant points were not touched. Fur
seals. he added could not be protected
unless all modes of slaughter were COW
cred by the treaty. Sealing vessels
could fly the flags Of nations other than
those to which they belonged, and thus
~.
ain and the United States. The breed
ing grounds for the fur seals belong to
Russia and Japan and they were en-
tirely ignored. Sir George concluded
by declaring he intended to endeavor
to secure notifications of the bill now
in the house.
Sir Richard Webster, formerly attor-
ney-general, who with Sir Charles Rus
sell, appeared as counsel for Great
Britain before the tribunal of arbitra.
ton, said Sir George Baden-Powell die
not represent the opinion of the oppo
sition. He did not think the protec
ton of the fur seals would be objected
to. 1t was a great mistake to argue
that the treaty gave Great Britain the
shadow and the United States the sub
stance He added he was able to in
, form the house the American bill haC
! passed by the Senate and House o
Representatives and would now go t
, President Cleveland. He added that tn
: American bill was on the same line a
: the one now before the house of com
!, mons. The treaty was a distinct ad
, vance in the settlement of disputes
He would always remember his owl
association with the arbitration wit
the greatest pride.
When Sir Richard had finished tn
/ bill was passed.
: The announcement of the vot
+ caused prolonged cheering.

Lunatic RIMS AmucI1.

Hammond, Ind, April "a young
man giving the name of James Bayling,
of Chicago, held a car fun of passen-
gers at bay on an east-bound Chicago
& Erie train last night. He threatened
to kill everyone on the car and when
taken by Hammond officers, was flour
ishing a revolver in the faces of the
passengers declaring he would shoot if
they did not hand over their valuables.
He was taken to the city jail, where he
raved terribly and made several at
tempts to kill himself which, however,
were frustrated by the jailer. 1t is said
that his parents are wealthy Chicago
people.

a Lie AnnuIs Contracts Between
Employer and Employed.
Chicago, April 5.-Judge Wilde holds
that lie told by an employee annuls
the contract between the employee and
employer. and that the employee can
not recover damages because he was
discharged This was in the suit of
one Strauss against Lewald. Strauss
was employed by the defendant as a
travelling man, under contract. He was
sent out to cover certain territory in
Michigan On his return Lewald
asked him if he had canvassed- a GER
tain town and the travelling man an
swered that he had. Subsequently the
employer discovered that Strauss had
LIED to him, that the latter did not
cover the town in question, and for
| this reason alone Strauss was dis
| charged.
( He Immediately began suit to re-
cover salary under his contract. The
evidence showed that Strauss had
made false statement to his en-
ployer. 1t was contended in behalf of
| the travelling man that while he may
have misrepresented his whereabouts
vet it was not such a falsehood that
resulted in any damage or in any way
affected the contract of employment.
Judge Wilde held that it was material
that an employer should know the
whereabouts Of his travelling men and
that a falsehood concerning the same
was sufficient cause for dismissal.

CHICAGO GENERAL MARKET.


Chicago, April 5.-Another wave of
the bull swell in the wheat market
sent the price up to 641a cents for May
and 66A for July, as against 627s to
GO cents and 645s cents respectively at
the close of the market yesterday. The
local crowd started with the sure
thing Of ''coDpering" a bullish state
ment given out by P. d. Armour for
publication. They wound up with the
sad reflection that the latest from the
shrewd merchant referred to violated
the rule, and that they got caught try
ing to work an exception.
Crop news was on tap to suit any
and all tastes Some of the shrewdest
and heaviest and local speculators sold
wheat short at the opening and have it
yet to buy back.
Corn and oats caught onto the wheat
boom. Corn is 11s cents higher
Provisions We're strong but not very
active.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
