TRIED TO AVOID THEIR DOOM.
Sisters Attempt Suicide to Escape
Their Doom.


NEW YORK, April s. In theI
insane pavilion of Bellevue hosa
pital there are two spinster Sis-'
tiers, whom the physicians will exs,
anime today. For twenty years
these two women have. tended their
mother, who is insane and bedrid7i
den. Their father has been in an
asylum for five years. Yesterday
worn out by the long and constants
watch over their mother, and in
the belief that some day they would
come to her condition, both women
tried to. kill themselves. NsFsThe
women are Mary A. and Harriet
McArdle. The first is forty years
old and the other thirty-sevenss
Their father, James McArdle, is now
eighty years old. He is a retired
builder.
Shortly before noon yesterday,
the father went to church. He had
been gone but little while when
Mary, going into the kitchen, found
Harriet pouring carbolic acid into
a glass of water. Mary watched
her sister until she put the glass to
her lips, then she dashed it from
her hand. After that there was a
struggle between the two women,
for Harriet insisted that she must
kill herself, and tried to jump out
of the window. The cries of Mary
alarmed the neighhors, who hurried
into the house. After half an hour,
Harriet became calm. All the
the neighbors left them, except two,
women, who said they would stay
during the afternoon. Mary i'm
telling them about the troubles of
her life, became so excited that sud-
denly she jumped on the sill of the
open window and would have
thrown herself to the courtyard.

the women present grasped her
about the waist and dragged her
back into the room. 1t was the sis
ter Harriet now who quoted her SIS
ter. But Mary grew worse, until
Harriet in her efforts to calm her
sister, became hysterical. When
the father got home late in the after
noon, he saw that affairs were be-
yond his control, and called in the
police. AS the officers entered the
room, they were met by the sisters,
who begged to be given the pistols
to kill themselves, and being re-
fused, pleaded with the officers to

the women became calm. They. said
they knew perfectly well they were
insane, and were anxious to go to
the hospital.

HOW 1T AFFECTs FARMERS.
Thirty-FOur Per Cent of the Agri-
cuIturists Pay Rent.


WASHINGTON, April S-The COM
pilation of farms, homes and mort
cages statistics made by the last census
is interesting in view of the decision
of the supreme court. These statistics
do not, however, give details concern
ing rents paid. A summary of the sta
tistics shows:
There are 12.690,152 families in the
United States, and of these families 50
per cent hire their farms or homes, and
48 per cent own them, while % per cent
of the owning families own subject to
incumbrance, and Y per cent own free
of incumbrance. On the owned farms
and homes there are liens amounting
to 81, 1872, 949, 5s3, which is 81 per cent Of
the value of the incumbered farms and
homes, and this list bears interest at
the average rate of 6.65 per cent. Each
owned and incumbered farm or home,
on the average, is worth So, 352, and is
subject to a debt of 81, 257. In regard
to the families occupying farms, the
conclusion is that "a per cent of the
families hire and &C per cent own the
farms cultivated by them; that 28 per
cent of the owning families own sub
ject to incumbrance and Y per cent
own free Of incumbrance. Among 100
farm families on the average "a per
cent hire the farms, 10 per cent own
their farms with incumbrance and At
per cent without incumbrance. On the
owned farms there are liens amounting
to $1,085, 995, $3.50, which is 80 per cent of
the value of the incumbered farms,
and this debt bears interest at the
average rate of 7.H per cent? Each
owned and incumbered farm, on the
average, is worth $3.444, and is sub
Ject to a debt of $1,224.

quantity of goods had been stored
in the rear of Al Washington ave-
nue. south, by Weitzner, Gutenberg
& Co., the firm that recently made
an assignment under peculiar cir
cumstances.
The officers at once repaired to
the place indicated, and discovered
some $4,000 worth of dry goods,
which are said to have been O. part
of the Weitzner & Gutenberg stock.
When the officers called at the
store, the front of which is occupied
by Laos & Co., jewelers., they found
A. S. Lovett in charge. Lovett put
on bold front and claimed that
the goods belonged to him, but
finally admitted that they did not.
The goods were seized on a writ of
attachment, and removed to
Kiichli's storage house, 214 Second

The goods were stored in cases
from which all marks had been care

an Easter opening. s. E. Olson's great
department store was last night the
Mecca of Minneapolis shoppers, and its.
immense spring stock was arranged
to striking advantage on the five spa
cious floors of the great emporium.
The millinery department gave a mat
inee, and the section on the third floor
devoted to headgear was arrayed bril-
liantly. A set of tiny boudoirs occu-
pied one side of the room, where the
daintiest fashions from Paris were law
ishly displayed in environment of great
beauty.
All day long the great store was
thronged, and at night, when music
was sounding from roof to entrance
and the surging mass of sightseeTs
was traversing aisle upon aisle in
ceaseless admiration, the scene was
indescribable. The window display,
was an attraction to many, and thS
choicest art of the decorator was showH
in tableau scenes of Night Morn,
ing "Apollo's Temple" and other
unique conceptions. Music was fur,
nished through the evening by the.
Elks' quartette, by Danz's Military
band and by Tortorelli's Mandolin or
chestra. The store was arranged.
throughout in faultless taste, and the
brilliancy of the display evoked the
most enthusiastic praise. The crowds
were admirably handled, being di-
verted from quarter to quarter by vary
ing attractions, without at any point:
becoming troublesome. The opening
will continue every evening this week,
and the millinery department will give
another special matinee this afternoon.

ECHO OF ELECTION.
S. NJ. owen Speaks DOIefuIIy on
National Finances

S. M. Owen delivered an interesting
address on Money" at Century hall
last evening to very small audience
of his Populist friends. The political
complexion of his audience was disap-
pointing to the speaker as he said he
wished to make a non-partisan address
for the especial benefit of the uncon-
! verted. But there was plenty of poll
tics developed by the speakers that
preceded Mr.. Owen, several lively
speeches being made before he got un-
der way.
After he had been introduced as
"the man who ought to be governor Of
Minnesota, and who will be If he runs
in 1885," the high priest of Minnesota
Populism stated that he had a few
ideas on the money question which he
wished to submit The whole United
States he said, had resolved itself into
a huge Interrogation point, which cast
, its shadows everywhere with the in
quiry, "Whatsails us2'a Hestooi1 very
discouraging view of things, and said
he was amazed at Industrial conditions.
when he considered the natural bless.
ings of God, which had given Ameri-
cans a country capable of sustaining
ten times its present population under
proper conditions.
He declined to discuss the silver
problem, saying he was unlike some
Populists, who imagined silver the
pivot on which the whole question
turned.
He believed that the condition of the
country was due to the idiocy of the
present monetary system in regard to
silver. France has $1S per capita of
silver, while we have only So. If
France can use $1S, we can use S36, as
we need twice as much silver as France
does. France preserves a parity be-
tween gold and silver by using silver,
but the United States attempt to pre-
serve a parity by selling bonds and let
ting some European syndicate make a
nice profit on the deal.
He believed in the birth of new prin-
ciples as he believed in the birth of
new souls. He said that this country
had chung too long to the dead past.
Our present monetary system is
barbarian system. We have thrown
away every babaric idea but this one
of money, to which we still cling with
a kind of superstition. We must get
away from this idea, because we have
created a new factor that the bar
barians did not have to consider This
new factor is public credit. Public
credit is an adjunct of everything that
goes to make up civilization. The peo-
pies greatest concern is to preserve
public credit, but / declare public cred
it, as we now use the term, is most
Infamous, and has cost this country
more dearly than any other fallacy.

ton forbids an indirect taxation of

is only direct burdens that must be so

imposed by the stutute now under con-

Theory of Metal stampi,~

In the operations of stamping and
shearlng metals it is now proved that
the rupture is caused, not by sliding
OF the material, but by traction. Each
layer compressed under the punch or
stamp does not separate immediatelv
from the adjoining ont; there remains
a hgament which is stretched by the
lorce OF the stamping. These liga-
ments are of different lengths, accord

Speculative Judgment


Speculative Judgment.
J. G. Jackson, resident manager
OF Swift & Co., the Omaha packing
concern, was arrested yesterday
morning by Detective John Hoy at
his office, 213 Third avenue south, on
charge of embezzlement. 1t is al
legged that Mr.. Jackson is short some
thing like $4,000 in his accounts, and
that he has confessed to having
squandered the company's money
on the stock market.
The company has been aware for
some time that all was not right with
the Minneapolis agency, and recent
ly sent their special agent, T. B.
Mays, to investigate. Mr.. Mays
began work on the case at once,
and was not long in securing suffi-
cient evidence against Jackson to
warrant his arrest.
When confronted with the evil
dence of his guilt yesterday, Jack
son was overwhelmed with shame,
and broke down completely. He
made no attempt to deny the charges
and with tears streaming down hii
face told the officers that he had
lost the money specializing in mar
gins.
Mr.. Jackson has been in the en-
ploy Of Swift & Co. but thirteen
months, but is well known in this
city from his former connection
with the commission firm of HoI-
brook & Jackson. He is fifty years
Of age, and lives at 1913 Eighth ave-

ROCKET IN WAR.
An Engine of Destruction Which
Inventors Are Trying to Perfect.

An Engine of Destruction Which
Inventors Are Trying to Perfect.
New York World
The world was recently startled by
the announcement that Frenchman
named Turpin had invented an engine
of war so terrible that the nation pos
sessing 1t would have the power of
annihilating It's opponents-so dread a
machine that it's very might would
probably put an end to war alto
gether. The records of the French
patent Office reveal the fact that this
engine of destruction, which should
act as sort of cast-iron Jupiter To-
mans, is a rocket.
Inventors in all ages have been
struck with the great advantages of
the rocket as a missile over the Or
binary, cannon with it's projectile.
First, the rocket carries it's propelling
power with it, while the projectile
receives only big push, as it were,
at she beginning. The cannon ball
must move more slowly as it goes; the
rocket may go faster and faster and
Faster. The cannon ball implies an
enormously heavy and awkward piece
of artillery; for setting off the rocket
nothing is needed but light portable
frame or carriage.
The first military rockets that made
much stir were those of Congreve.
which did good work in the lombard
ment of Copenhagen and also in the
Crimea.
But they did not always go straight.
The inventors then tried to make a
rocket which, like the breech-loading
rifle. should cause it's projectile to
rotate swiftly. To do this and still
keep the rocket in a straight and even
line is difficult problem
To this end, instead of providing a
rified cannon tube, Turpin gives his
rocket a preliminary spin by the aid
of electric motors. He can thus evil
IDENTIFY get up an enormously high
speed, but it is, unfortunately. accom-
panied by a trembling movement.
which has disturbing action on the
accuracy of fire. So the military
rocket is still short of perfection as
an engine of war. but Turpin's rocket
has come nearer to it than any of it's
predecessors.
