THE ARGUMENTS BEGUN.

The Trial of the Taylor Brothers for the
Meeizs' Murders Nearing Close.
CARRoLLToN, Mo-. April "A large
crowd was present this morning when
court opened in the expectation of
hearing the arguments in the Taylor
trial. Most of the forenoon, however,
was taken up in preparing and reading
the instructions At L o'clock the
court room was packed as it never has
been; not only every seat and aisle
was full. but they stood in every
position and piled up on top of one an
other. When court met Col. Hale, for
the defense, asked that time be given
them to get Col. Cravens, of Arkansas,
here, who. they claimed, helped Col.
South capture the Taylors, but
the Judge refused. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Bresnehen then proceeded to read
the instructions allowed for the state
D. NJ Wilson followed by read
ing the instructions allowed for the de-
Tense. L. A. Holiday opened the argu-
ment for the state. He confined him
self to the evidence as brought out by
the state and showed that their chain
was complete, not a single link being
left out. He also showed the absurdity
of the statements made by the defend
ants when in the witness box. His
speech occupied one hour. Col. Meyers
followed for the defense in a speech
of one hour. Sidney Miller was the
second speaker for the state, and was
followed by Senator e. r. Stephens Tor
the defense. Court then adjourned for
supper. E. B. Fields, for the state,
was the first speaker in the evening,

Visitors from All Parts OF the Empire Con-
graduate the Ex-ChRncelIOr.
FRIEDRICHsRUHE, April AT an
early hour yesterday morning trains
arrived here loaded with visitors from
all parts of the empire, DESTROYS of
congrntulating Prince Bismarck on his
SOth birthday. The spokesman of the
students deputation, which numbered
about 1000, conveyed to Prince Bis
marck the congratulations of his fell
low students representing thirty uni
versities, and concluded with present
ing to the prince an address and re-
questing him to accept as a birthday
present handsome shaft of marble,
iron, silver and gold, with symbolical
figures and surmounted with the Ger
man eagle.
Prince Bismarck, having inspected
and admired the monument, which
occupied prominent place in a corner
of the terrace, replied to the address
of the students. The ex-chancellOr
spoke for about twenty minutes.
During the evening there was a great
torch light procession, the Sachenwald
was Illuminated and Prince Bismarck
and his family watched the proceed
ings from the terrace.

at their door. and Mrs. Whaling who
had matronized the little party of town
girls, drove on with her brood. Connie
stole, as usual, to her fathers side to
bend and kiss him and murmur some
fond inquiry. But pent-up indignation,
the sJrain and misery of the long ride
during which she had been compelled
to listen to brainless sallies and con-
gratu1ations on Renshaw's devotion,
all proved too much for her. No sooner
did she feel the fathers arms around
her than her girlish strength gave way,
and she lay sobbing on his breast.
There was the sound of a rasping
chair, of some one striving to hurry
from the room, but she did not hear.
''He-he dared to speak of Schramm!"
she cried, ''of Schramm, who-Ivho is
truer gent1emau-truer hero-than any
-any-any officer they've got"
And the shadowy form striving to
fud means of exit from the tiny den in
which rec1ined the invalid and his
clasping. sobbing child was that of
Sergt. Maj. Schramrn, who, all unno-
ticed and unseen by her, was thus be-
come the nearer of his own perfections.
Renshaw's hapless outburst had proved
his own undoing and swept away the

THE PAPAL DECREE.
rerre Haute Catholic knights of PythIss
Refuse to Leave the Order.

rerre Haute Catholic Knights of PythIss
Refuse to Leave the Order.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 2.-The
Terre Haute Catholic Knights of
Pvthias have decided not to leave the
order, Notwithstanding the decree
from the propaganda at Rome. They
have held meetings, and by individual
conference finally concluded that the
church has no right to demand that
they should leave the order. The
church granted them permission to
enter the order and nothing has taken
place since which would render it any
more difficult for a Catholic TO retain
his membership and church standing
at the same time. The truth is that
these Catholic knights are somewhat
encouraged in the position they have
taken by the known opposition of a
large majority of the clergy to the de-
cree. Bishop Chatard, of this diocese,
held the decree back as long as he
could. Some of his close personal
friends in Indianapolis are knights
There has gone to Rome a statement
which it is expected will result in
either a modification of the decree or
it's withdrawal.

L'ENVOI.

It seems very long ago, that Bit
ter winter in the heart of the Rockies,
yet one of the old regiment, enjoying
with his wife and children the first
b1issfuI taste of foreign travel, stood
one exquisite summer morning on the
forward deck of the oddly-modeled
''dampfer" that was churning the blue
brown flood of the Rhine, and thus re-
piled to the query of his better half:
''Know her2 Why, you'll know her
instantly. Connie can never grow old"
Yes, rounded indeed is the sweet face
of the woman standing with her sol
dierly husband close to the railing of
the landing under the beautiful, vine
clad heights ahead, her soft brown eyes
fixed in eagerness upon the approach
ing steamer. The slender form we
knew in the shabby old black serge is
almost majestic in its proportions now,
yet how fair and sweet and smiling is
the dear, bonny face once SO piteously
sad amid the SHOWS Of far-away Ran
somi Happy wife and mother-the
idol of her soldier-husband's heart
the ''gnadige Fraulein" whom he wo1
in distant America long years ago had
speedily found ker way into the love
| of the old retainers OF the ancestral
home to which, summoned to succeed
the stern old father whose last words
and thoughts were for his banished
son, he bore her so soon after the
| last vo1ley was fired over Morgan's
head as they laid him away, as he
had prayed, by Carries side. He died
without lingering fear for the chill
| dren's future, one hand c1asped in
faithful Schramm's. The commission
had indeed been rendered, but grace
fully, courteously declined because of
family duties at his old home in the
tabled Rhineland. Again he wears the
uniform of his famous corps, all the
better officer for his experience in the
| American cavalry. Already Lottie had
cut wide swath among the bachelor
suba1terns of the hussars before finally
bestowing heart and hand and a
Schramm-provided dot upon a totally
different party, though an eminently
sound one. Already Billy has won dis
tinction (as a slzylarker and schlager
and all-round scapegrace) at Heide1-
berg, where he sports yellow cap and
a monocle, a straggly mustache, and
some ridiculous slaShing scars, OF all OF
which he is Unfortunately vain, and with
genuine American enthusiasm he pratt

known, is going back to America this
fall to offer his services to capitalists
as an expert mining engineer, and says
for the first year a salary of five thou
sand dollars will do); but Herr Graf
pays his debts and provides his pocket
money, and the only secrets Connie
does not share are those concerning
her hopeful brother and his affairs. A:
for Connie herself, she is happy as the
years are long, happy as even an army

Klova, the Latest CraZe-Fascinating and
Interesting Everyone.
Nearly everyone is familiar with the extern
sive sale of the 13-14-15 puzzle, which grew
into such popular favor and more recently
Pixies Peak. which also attracted much atten-
ton, and now game has recently been placed
upon the market which is evidently destined
TO supersede all Others an immense demand
having sprung up wherever the game is ex-
hibited or sold, and this entirely upon the
merits which il possesses. As an instructive
source of amusement We have never seen it
equaled
The great success with which this game has
met has led to an offer by the proprietors of
magnificent list of prizes numbering 100,
to be awarded to the persons who succeeded in
spelling and constructing upon the "Klova"
board at one time, the largest number of
words This spelling contest is open until
March ], 1896. The prizes are extremely
valuable.
The first is 500 quartered oak or mahog-
any Mason & Hamlin List organ; second
prize, Chickering upright piano in solid
mahogany case, value S575: third prize, an
Essex Trap made by the French Carriage
Company of Boston, value $685. fourth, puri-
tan cycle, lady's or gents, value 500, and SO
other valuable articles of standard makes.
All these prizes are on exhibition at the vari-
Gus places of business of the makers all over
the country.
An illustrated eatalog of the prizes is in
every box, which is part of the game. The
catalogs alone may be obtained by sending
two two-cent stamps to the publishers, The
Eddy Toy q Game Company, Boston.
A board covered with an English cloth of
silvcr-gray hue, embossed with green and
prettily Autographed with the lucky four
leaf clover in each of the four corners, best
describes this new and most fascinating game.
On the outside cover Of the board is the name
Klova running diagonally from left to right;
inside, large horseshoe of four leaf clOvers to
give double streak of luck. In the neat box
is a set of discs that correspond with those on
the board, and each bears a letter of the
alphabet With these is set of red letters
that correspond to those in the center of the
board which spell the name Klova
The combinations which can be made are
infinite As means Of instruction it can be
seen at once that it is unparalleled, and the
interest becomes more intense as the game
proceeds They are sold by all the leading
dealers throughout the country.
The craze for this is on, and old and young
alike can be found everywhere silently spell
ing out words, and reconstructing new ones.

THE SULTAN'S FAMILY.
Ii Is Large, and There Are Frequent Changes
in Its Personnel.
fChicnqo Record

Chicago Record.
A gentleman who has lived in COnstanti-
nopIe says:
The harem of the present Sultan is mu-
seum of living pictures fine collection of
every nationality, regular fair of the fair
sex. He has over 600 wives and concubines,
besides q number Of female servants and
playmates All are intrusted to the care
of the aga, the chief eunuch. In the book
of Esther he is termed the Heiga.) The only
legitimate wife is she who marries him first.
Those who come afterward are merely concu-
bines and favorites The advantages and
superiority of the first wife lie only i'll the
fact that her children are recognized as fit for
the throne, otherwise she is subjected to the
regular harem discipline, like the rest. More
often than not the Sultan pays greater atten-
ton TO one of his favortcs than to her. But
those favors are as changeable rs the weather.
To-day ii is Iuleika, Tomorrow it is Fatima.
The harem gets every year an additional liv-
ing ornament, donated by the nation, through
a strange religious custom.
Ramadan is the period of the year CORE
spending to the Christian Lent, and during
that month the MOslem abstanS from food.
drinking, and even from smoking. devoting
himself to fasting and religious exercises. At
bratcs the three-days' feast known as the
kurban Bclram (the sacrifice of Abraham).
The first night of that great feast an illumi-
nation takes place, and the nation donates to
the Sultan giit7as a token of loyalty-a
tribute in the shape of a handsome virgin.
So 1T goes on year after year.
The harem life would be regarded by
Western women as very monotonous, but to
these Orientals, who are brought up from in
fancy in its seclusimD and isolation. it has
plenty of variety. There is plenty of music
and dancing, sweet cfndies, cakes and pies,
aromatic coffee to sip, and fine stories to listen
to. Besides, there prevails an ambition
among the inmates which keeps them all the
time in certain activity; the ambition to
appear handsomcr than their rivals. What
becomes of these houri? They also serve n
state purpose. The Sultan, i'll his generosity
when he decorates high official as token of
recognition for his Services often adds liv-
ing picture from the royal harem."

AMERICAN MANNERS.
Story of Lieut.. Lucian Young's Independ-
ence and Official Etiquet.

tHCt anu OlHCihi N@AiIutts
The Capital publishes the following story
of Lieut.. Lucien Young, the naval officer who
is not permitted topublish his book on Hawaii
because it is considered to reflect on the rec
ord of the Cleveland Administration. The
scene of the present incident is laid during
the Harrison regime, when Benjamin T.
Tracy was Secretary of the Navy.
1t was Lieut.. Young according to the story,
who few years ago offered to teach Baron
Fava, the Italian Ambassador, lesson in
American manners. The international cpl
sode was the request made by the Ambassa-
dor to the Secretary of the Navy for a report
upon subject of great importance to him,
which he begged might be delivered the same
evening, in order that he could forward it to
his Government in the morning mail. Lieut.
Young was detailed to prepare the infOr-
nation. He worked all day and all the even
ing, with only a sandwich and cup of coffee,
excused himself from dinner party and
from IN engagement he had made to take
some ladies to ball. The memorandum
was completed about midnight, when he cot
a cab and drove to the Italian Legation 1t
was closed and dark and no one answered his
summons. Then he went to Baron Favas
residence, where he was told that the Ambas-
where the dinner had been given, and learned
that the Baron was at the ball which he him
self wanted to attend, but found there the
Baron had left few minutes before.
Then Young gave up the search and went
to his club The first man he saw after en-
tering the door was the Italian Ambassador
drinking wine with party of friends.
Lieut.. Young approached him with proper
salute, and after few words of explanation
offered him the papers. The Baron haughti-
ly declined them.
"You impertinent fellow" said he, "why
did you follow me all over the town? 1 am
the Ambassador of Italy, and / do my
business at the Legation of my Government.
You should have had the papers there before
/ left this afternoon. Instead of that you
disturb my friends by entering their houses
and intrude upon my club. L will report
your impertinenee to the Secretary of the
Navy tomorrow"
The sea dog from Kentucky was very red
in the face by this time, and made the fol-
lowing remarks:
''YOu ungrateful old maearoni-ehewing
monkey tanner, | am member of this club
and you are only guest, but III you will
come out into the street for five minutes L
will teach you lesson in North American
manners. There are the papers have spent
them on the table You can take them or
leave them, as you like"
The Baron called upon Secretary Tracy
the next day and complained that Lieut..
Young had insulted him. The Secretary

FOREIGN AFFAIRS,
Senator Davis Has Some Very Decided
Views.

PN'A'sS
Views.
Senator Davis, leading member of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, has given con-
siderable attention TO that portion OF the Presi-
dents message relating to foreign affairs The
Minnesota Senator does not agree with the
President in anything, except rs to Venezuela,
and in this particular he would have it much
stronger. Mr.. Davis has given particular
thought to that part of the message relating to
the manner in which Germany is discriminat-
ing against American meat and other products,
upon the plea of sanitary precaution, which,
the Senator thinks, is uufounded in fact. Tho
President, he says, seems to forget that he has n
remedy Mt hand, by reason ofiegislation passed
by the 5lst Congress, and which still remains
on the statute books.
In an act approved Aug. 80, 1890, is the fol-
lowing section:
THAT whenever the President shall be salts
fed that unjust determinations are made by or
under the authority of any foreign state against
the importation to or sale in such foreign state
of any product of the United States lie may
direct that such products of such foreign state
so discriminating against any product of the
United States as he may deem proper shall be
excluded from importation to the United
States; and in such case he shall make procla-
nation of his direction in the premises and
therein name the time when such direction
against i'm portaton shall take effect, and after
such date the importation of the articles named
in such proclamation shall be unlawful. The
President may at any time revoke modify,
terminate or renew any such direction as in
his opinion the public interest may require"
Senator Davis says that if the President
should enforce the provision OF this law against
Germany for short time there is little doubt
that she would soon be found willing to make
place for American products without discrmi-
nation. He says there are plenty of German
imports upon which an embargo could be
placed, which would soon bring that Govern
ment to terms He does not think it will be
necessary for the present Congress to pass any
additional legislation to secure tho proper
treatment of American products abroad.
