INHUMAN TREATMENT.-Jennie E.
Walter made charges of excessive
cruelty in Washington yesterday
against Frederick Walter, carriage
maker, which she makes the ground
for request for divorce. Among the
accusations, she says he held cooked
and loaded pistol with the muzzle in
her mouth August 30, 1890, threatening
to kill her, and that he threatened on
the Goth instant, in the presence of her
father, Robert Trouland, to cut her
heart out and die on the gallows for it.
The unhappy pair were married in
this city October IS, 1885, and have re-
sided since in Washington. She says
she was obliged to leave him because Of
his drunken habits and cruel acts in
1889, aud remained away until 1898,
when she returned, because he prom
ised to reform. A child was born to
her June %, 1890, that lived about nine
months. She says he frequently abused
it, and prior to its birth wrote her
vile letter advising her to live a life Of
shame. He is also accused of having
torn her clothing from her during the
month of August, 1892 on Massachu-
sets avenue, between Fourth and Fifth
streets northwest, in the presence of
several people, for which he was held
in the police court on bond to keep
the peace. She says that last August,
in drunken fury, he drove her and her
son, John r. Moulder, by former hus-
band, and younger sister out of the
house. He is charged with appropri-
ating much of her clothing, and that of
her dead child, as we'll as articles of
furniture, including piano.
Mrs. Walter wants permanent ali
mony and an injunction against him to
prevent any disposition of her clothing
and personal property; also to prevent
him IRON molesting her in any way.

The SEQUEL TO 4 SCANDAL.-Neigh'
bors broke into the home of Mrs. Mary
Morgan, of West Chester, Pa, yester.
day, and found her lying on her bed
unconscious. The gas was turned on
and the room was sitting. A ply
sician was summoned and Mrs. Nor
gan's life was saved with much diff
Guilty.
This evident attempt at suicide is
supposed to be the sequel to the break
ing up oftwo homes in West Chester.
Last June the wife of James P. Long
disappeared, and soon after her hus
band went to board with Mrs. Morgan.
Recently Mrs. Long returned and pre-
ferred charges of a serious ma
ture against her husband. who for
ten years past has had charge of the
High School building.
Mrs. Long knew how best to punish
her husband, and instead of appealing
to the law she went to the school d.
rectors with her case. The board ap-
pointed al committee to look into the
matter of the intimacy of Long and
Mrs. Morgan, and they did to such eff
feet that Longs resignation was asked
for. At the last meeting of the board
it was presented and Long lost his
place.
Mrs. Morgan's husband was first
brought to the knowledge of the alleged
intimacy by the action of the school
board. She protested her innocence,
claiming that Long was simplya board
or, and that nothing wrong had ever
occurred between them. 1t is this trou-
BILE which, it is thought, led her to turn
on the gas and lie down to what she
supposed would be her last sleep.

THOSE CHARGEs.-Attorney- General
Scott arrived in Richmond yesterday,
and last night held a conference with
Governor O'Ferrall in regard to the
charges of collision with the American
Book Company made against the State
board of education by a Norfolk paper.
When the Governor was seen last night
he declined to give out anything for
publication. Upon being asked if the
three members of the board would hold
conference in regard to taking some
action in the matter, the Governor said
he could not tell as yet: that Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction John E.
Massey had been communicated with
by letter, but as yet no reply had been
received direct from him.
Superintendent John E. Massey,
when seen at his home, near Charlottes-
vile, yesterday,in regard to the charge
Of coliusion with the American Book
Company, SAID that the Norfolk PLOTS
story was scurrilous and untrue; that
he was too busy to make a formal re-
ply, but would in few days decide
upon his course, He intimated a de.
sire to confer With the other members
of the board of public instruction.

SeyeraIKiuds of Them.

An Alabama paper enumerates
these different kinds of Democrats:
We have the free silver Democrat,
the anti silver Democrat. We have
the national bank Democrat, and
International bank Democrat. We
have the Democrat who favors the
repeal of the tax on State banks, and
we have the Democrat who is op-
posed to the repeal of the tax. We
have the free-wool Democrat, and
tariff for revenue on wool Democrat.
We have the free sugar Democrat
and the tariff on sugar Democrat.
We have the free iron ore Democrat
and the taxing ore Democrat. We
have the free coal syndicate Demo
crat and the coal tariff Democrat.
We have the free trade Democrat,
and the protective tariff Democrat,
and the half and half Democrat, for
some free and some tariff. We have
the income tax Democrat, and the
anti-income Democrat. We have
the railroad control Democrat, and
the Democrat who is not in favor OF
government control, and we have the
Democrats who are in favor of gov
erment ownership of railroads. We
have the square Democrat, and the
straddling Democrat, the filibuster-
ing Democrat and the Mugwump
Democrat. But they are all Demo
Gratis and have no intention of de-
sorting the party.

HAD A PASS,
But Found That Cash Had to go With it,

Somebody connected with one of
the steamboat lines plying between
New York and Boston gave a coun-
try cousin of his pass from Boston
to New York. 1t entitled the bear
er to zone frstclass passage" l
stood just behind the owner Of the
pass as we lined up in front Of the
ticket office to secure staterooms.
The passholder wanted the best on
the boat, and was visibly annoyed
when the purser said the best rooms
were all gone All that he could Of
fer was No II and two dollars,

"But I've got a pass" remonstrat-
ed the owner thereof, with an ex-
preston of panied surprise.
Two dollars, pleaser'
well, say, you'll hear from this, .
but he paid the money under protest.
Then be went down to supper de
termined to get square. He ordered
raw oysters, Irish stew, a beefsteak,
lemon pie, ice cream, chocolate cake
and pint of wine. When the in
telligent waiter presented him with
a check for "a 80 he almost tainted.
'But I've got u pass!' he gasped.
THAT pass is to travel on, not to
eat on or sleep on, said the waiter,
sardonically.
This was dreadful, but the pass
holder paid the check in dazed
sort of way, and ! offered him ci-
gar when we. reached the deck. He
smoked long time and then said
"Cousin Harry said this was go

already cost me more than first

to raise revenue was upon imports.
1t was equal taxation because there
was then a nearer equality Of condi-
tion than the world had ever before
seen, and the chief pursuits of the
people were agriculture and com
merce.
How Jefferson and Madison would
act now may be judged from the
maxims of their policy. They took
the best methods at the time, under
the circumstances, to serve the PEG
pie, but class legislation was abhor-
rent to their Democracy, and in that
opinion we follow them. They would
now advocate system under which
wealth would bear its share of the
burden of taxation. Our great mas
ter, whose birthday we now celebrate,
says it all in language no one can
improve:
with all these blessings what
more is necessary to make us hap
py and prosperous people? Still one
thing more--a wise and frugal gov
eminent which shall restrain men
from injnring one another, shall
leave them free to regulate their own
pursuits of industry and improve
ment, and shall not take from the
mouth of labor the bread it has
earned. This is the sum of good gov
eminent, and this is necessary to
close the circle our felicities."

Sixty Million Bushels Of Wheat-A
Bushel for Every Inhabitant Of the
United States. The Kansas Crop OF
,01

Never in the history of Kansas has
that state had such bountiful crops as
this year. The farmers cannot get
enough hands to harvest the great
crop, and the Santa Fe Railroad has
made special rates from Kansas City
and other Missouri River towns, to
induce harvest hands TO go into the
state. The wheat crop of the state
will be from sixty to sixty-tiye million
bushels, and the quality is high.
The grass crop is made, and is very
large one: the early potatoes, rye,
barley and oats crops are made, and
are all large. The weather has been
propitious for corn, and it is the
cleanest, best looking corn to be found
in the country today. Cheap rates
will be made from Chicago, st.
Louis and all points on the Santa Fe
east of the Missouri River, to all Kan
sas points, on August 80 and Septem-
Der 81, and these excursions will give
a chance for eastern farmers to see
what the great Sunflower State can do.
A good map of Kansas will be mailed
free upon application to Jno. j. Byrne,
1923 Monadnock Block, Chicago, Ill,
together with reliable statistics and
information about Kansas land.

A WAR CLAIM
For Carrying Dispatch From Grant
TO Burnside.
WASHINGTON Post

NhSuiuStOu IOst-
John I. Browns war CLAIM is a
good story. The committee has just
reported to the House favorably
bill to pay Mr. Brown $4,000. and
the circumstances under which this
obligation was incurred are set forth
in the report. In the wide range
which war claims have taken there
is nothing quite like this. In No
vember, 1868, according to the com
mittee's narrative, Miss Mary Love,
of Kingston, Tenn, was intrusted
with an important dispatch from
General Grant to General Burnside,
at Knoxville, Tenn. She carried the
dispatch to Louisville, Tenn, ac-
companicd part Of the way by Thos.
f. Carter as escort and guide. Miss
Love delivered the dispatch to John
L. Brown, who was then a boy only
about 13 years of age, and he carried
the dispatch from there to Knoxville,
through the enemy's lines, distance
of about 13 miles, and delivered it
to General Burnside whose army was
being besieged in Knoxville by the
rebels General Burnside said that
the dispatch was very valuable one
to the public service. That was
shown by the fact that in January,
1873, Congress passed an act grant
ing to Miss Mary Love $4,000 for
her services. The undertaking was
q perilous one and its accomplish.
ment a creditable act, and "for it be
deserves the thanks of all the lovers
of their country" .he committee says.
The evidence shows that he had to
get out of Louisville through the
enemy's pickets and into Knoxville
through their lines. Miss Love states
that he was the only person at Lou
isville that could be found to under
take to carry the dispatch through.
1t is said that one soldier, Charles
Francis, lost his life in an attempt
to carry copy of the dispatch
through by another route.

The Coxey Train Stealers.

While the various bands of Coxey-
ties were content to tramp the high
ways peaceably, living upon the con-
tributions Of the towns through
which they passed, they encountered
no more serious obstacles than the
gazing crowds who. turned out to see
the absurd assortment of tramps
much as they would have crowded a
dime museum TO see similar col
lection of freaks on exhibition at so
much a head. When the tramps got
tired of tramping and took to steal
ing the trains of road in the hands
of receivers appointed by United
States Court the tramp question as
sumed different phase, calling for
the application of a prompt remedy
in the shape of ordering out the gov
eminent troops to retake the stolen
trains.
The train stealing feature of Cox
eyism which has been adopted by a
band of five hundred Commonweal-
ers at Butte City, Montana, brings
the Coxey movement in conflict with
the Federal authorities and furnish.
es all the reason needed for vigor.
Gus policy designed to disperse and
put an end to the further concentra-
tion of this absurd movement. Train
stealing is unlawful, and when O
motley crowd of tramps undertake
to run away with property under the
protection of the Federal Govern
ment they are likely to learn that Q
few hundred or a few thousand
tramps in such a conflict dom
amount to as much as the famous
bull who tried to stop the locomo
tive.
Whether the Coxey train steaiers
are captured by the military or es
cape by running, it is certain they
will not join Coxey at Washington
and with the breaking up Of thu
Butte City gang and the issuing o
proclamation from Washington
warning the entire Coxey contingent
that its object and its methods arr
I unlawful, the r1ovement is likely Il
rapidly disintegrate. The bands
which have long distance to trave
will find the tramp too tiresome
] and the nearby companies will no
prove numerous enough to be yer,
troublesome. - Timer.

decade.
The next to the largest oil pro.
ducing State
The fourth coal producing State.
The second coke producing State.
Possessing the greatest area of
hard wood of any State
