The inhabitants of the northwestern
section of the United States should be
justly proud, not only of its grand nat
ural resources, delightful climate, Won
derful growth and brainy people, but
also for the reason that the faith in this
territory which induced capitalists to
invest their money in the construction
of railways has been fully justified. The
success of the Great Northern railway
exemplifies this to the fullest degree,
the line having been constructed dur
ing the financial depression, and by it's
continued success and increasing bus
mess, UNFOLDING the credit of the north
west and proving the solid and sub
stantial ground on which the country
bases its claims.
1t would have been an incalculable in
jury and setback if this railway system
had followed its powerful competitor,
the Northern Pacific, into the hands of
a receiver, but under the. wise and sue
cessful guidance of James j. Hill it was
steered clear of all financial troubles

KILLED HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY
Frederick Holman of Chicago Caused
the Death OF Six.

the Death or SIN.
Chicago, July 5.-Frederick IIelman
well-to-do mason and contractor,
murdered his wife and four children
last night and then killed himself. 1t
was at first supposed that Holman and
his wife and children had met death
by accident, but Mt developed at the
coroner's inquest that a wholesale muir
der was calmly planned and that the
man intended to kill himself and end
the existence of the members of his
family. The murdered victims are
Mrs. Ida Holman, aged 33; Fred, aged
IL; Ida, aged 10 William, aged Z; Her
wig, the 3-year-old daughter.
The tragedy took place in a little
brick cottage at Cornelia and Wood
streets. 1t is supposed the act was that
of mailman, as Holman was 10 years
ago sunstruck, from which he never
completely recovered. Suspicion was
first aroused this morning by the fact
that the house in which the Helmans
lived was tightly closed long after the
usual hour for the family 10 be astir
The mother and married sister of Hell
man, who lived next door, forced an
entrance and the dead bodies were
found. The house was so full of gas
that the two women were nearly over
come.
At the inquest, a brother of Holman
produced letter written by the muir
derer and suicide late on the previous
evening, in which he clearly stated his
purpose of killing himself. although he
gave no intimation of the fact that he
was meditating the death of the mem
bers of his family. He spoke of a win
dow, through which the women had
crawled to gain an entrance to the house
this morning, as the only way in which
his brother could gain admission to
the house and said that he had left
it open for that purpose. The brother
had not received the letter until the
afternoon and came directly to the in
quest.

AFTER dinner speakers IN London
There is no one living. thin K, who can
equal or come near my father, who was the
very best after-dinner speaker ever heard,

sourceful of chairmen; but am sure can
count many moro speakers of the first class

As might perhaps be expected, it is at the
theatrical dinners that most of the best speak
ers are to be heard. Mr.. Henry Irving has
trained himself into an excellent after-dinner
speaker; Mr.. Bancroft, Dir. Beerbohm Tree,

point OF view, and MIR. Arthur Pinero has no

among the best OF them all.
Literature is not very strong Just now in
this department and the speeches at the din
ners of the Royal Literary Fund and similar
institutions are apt to be deadly dull, hut Mr..
W. E. Lecky speaks very well, if not so we'll
as he writes, and Mr.. George Augustus Sala
has long been distinguished for the capital
speeches which he can make about anything
or nothing, as the case may be, with an en-
ergy, readiness. and wealth of illustration
and anecdote which call up "reminiscences OF
