Mrs. Marco declared herself supremely
happy. She was blazing with diamonds.
Two months ago young Marco had not met
his bride. She is from Montreal Her first
husband died and she married to a
Mr. Tompkins. She got divorce from

Just a year ago she was going to marry
an Englishman who lived at the Bruns-

Tombs. Inspector Mclaughlin had arrested
him for alleged swindling, and then it

WRONG MEN CONVICTED.
Confession That May Lead to Release
of Three Alleged Murderers.

PiTTSBURG, Dec. 31.-By the confession
of the real murderer, it is likely that An
drew 10th, George Rusnak and Michael
Sabol, who are now serving life sentences
in Riverside penitentiary for the murder of
Michael Quinn will be released. On New
Years day. 1891, the Carnegie Steel Com
pany had trouble with its. la
borers at the Edgar Thomson
steel works, at Braddock. About
seven hundred Slavs and Huns were en-
ployed at the works, among them three
who now in prison. On the night of
Dec 81 a crowd of the strikers descended
on the works, but were driven back. The
following noon the mob attacked the works
again and a fight enSued. Michael Quinn,
an engineer, struck the head and
fatally injured. The next day a large number
of arrests was made, among them being
10th, Rusnak and Sabol. They were tried
and convicted of Quinn'S murder and sen-
fenced to be hanged, but later their SER
tences were commuted to life Imprisonment.

STOLE A RED-HOT STOVE.
sentry BOX I'm Front of the White
House Robbed by a. Thief.

Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Artistic high
class burglary reached its height in Wash
ngton tonight, when ambitious and
fearless thief stole the stove out of the
sentry box in front of the White House.
This is the climax of burglary in Wash
ington. For weeks this miserable little sem
try box has been discussed by the news
papers of the country, and Mr.. Cleveland
has been severely criticised for counte-
nancing the erection of this ''copper's''
coop. which is considered a purely mo-
narchical institution. 1t is located on the
lawn directly in front of the White House
and within four yards of the port cochere.
1t is the rendezvous of the patrolmen and
is generally occupied by seven eight
policemen. The work of the crook who in
the face of these diffscul ties. stole a red
hot stove out of the White House grounds
and from under the noses of half a dozen
freezing 'coppers'' deserves to rank as
of the most remarkable achievements
in the annals of thievery. The chief actor
in this drama deserves to be canonzed by
thieves and hold name in the litany of
the crooks patron saints.

"Hls HEAD is SWOLLEN"
II. G. PIatt's View of ParI<hurst and
His Crusade.

WILKESBARRE. Pa, Dec. 3l-Ex-United
States Senator Thomas c. Platt of New
York, who is here visiting relatives, in an
interview with a reporter tonight, dis
cussed the Rev. DR.. Parkhurst and his
methods without reserve. Il opposed DR..
Parkhurst,'' said he, because / did not
think his methods practical and because
looked on his schemes being visionary.
His idea of a one-headed police force is
simply absurd and would put in the hands
of the man at the head of that department
"a power that he might to the great
disadvantage of the force. His intentions
are sincere, but they are visionary and
therefore of use. He has done a great
deal of good, of course, but l believe his
head is swollen by the fiattery of the New
York newspapers. His ideas regarding the
suppression of crime are no longer sugges-
tions but orders He is continually say
ing must and to this practical men not
only take exception, but they criticise it
harshy."
Referring to the resignation of Superin-
tendent Byrnes Mr.. Platt said: Il do not
believe Mayor Strong will accept it, Byrnes
is too valuable man to lose, and when the
department is reorganized he will be at the
head of it, L think.
Mr.. Platt refused TO discuss the recent at
tacks upon him by Republican newspaper
in New York.

REBUKE TO KENTUCKY
JUDGE BUCHWALTER, OF CINCIN-
NATI, TAKES A BOLD STAND.

Hampton, alias Alexander Jackson a col
ored minister, to Deputy Sheriff w. w.
Perrin, of Lebanon, KY, until he had the

Hampton was formerly teacher at White
wood, KY, and had some words with j. c.
Durham, a farmer, i'm June. 1S93 because the

Hampton shot Durham, but not fatally,
and fled. Deputy sheriff Perrin, relative
OF Durham's, last night arrested Hampton
while preaching at Avondale. After an ex-
citing time he to-day brought before
Judge Buchwalter extradition papers.
Hampton said he was indicted though Dur
ham had recovered. He was willing to go
back If assured a fair trial. He had re-
ceived letters from prominent people there
warning him his life was not safe. A col
ored man and a colored boy had been
lynched there, one for murder and the other
for criminal assault, and he would be strung
up If taken back by Deputy Sheriff Perrin.

/ scientillc Food Preparation.

The United States department Of az
riculture could not have been in better
business than it was when it caused to
be prepared and circulated a bulletin
on the subject Of food preparation. Our
enthusiastic poet statistician, Edward
Atkinson, in this bulletin skips joyous
" to the fore with his Aladdin oven
and his oil lamp heater and cooker, en-
abling poor man to prepare dinner
at for the gods at an outlay Of few
cents. Atkinson's part Of the work
shows what every cook who has any
sense already knew-that in order to
get the best results most kinds Of food
must be subjected to a moderate heat q
very long time instead Of fierce shrivel-
Ing heat for a short time. But very few
cooks have any sense in this respect. The
pamphlet contains illustrations Of cook
ing tables and boxes that prepare de-
licious food with the heat only Of little
kerosene lamp
Mrs. Ellen H. Richards furnishes
to the pamphlet what, if one were
speaking Of live stock feeding, he would
call a balanced ration And indeed
no living creature needs balanced ra-
tion more than civilized man does all
over the world today.
The proper food to keep human be-
ing in health must contain so much
carbohydrates or starchy matter We
all knew that before, but the trouble
was with the scientific that in their
eagerness to lug in this and other fine
big words they never told us in what
foods we could find our carbohydrates.
This Mrs. Richards does. Heat is want
ed, and for this purpose fats and oils
are necessary. Muscle building food is
wanted too. The food for this purpose
contains much protein, = which is the
name given to the muscle building nj
trogenous compounds.
Mrs. Richards gives the balanced
ration, !" which, in the latest scientific
view, furnishes all these substances to
one person for week. Her table is as
follows, not counting drinks, such as
milk, cocoa, coffee, etc.:

There is one encouraging sign in
some Of the financial reports Of the great
corporations. It is that, while the gross
earnings have decreased considerably in
1894, net earnings have diminished
much less-that is to say, economy in
management has made up somewhat for
the loss of business. The Americans are
naturally wasteful people. An occa-
sional spell Of hard times will be the
best lesson they could have on the sub
ject Of economy. The wastefulness ex-
tends even to the household and the in
dividual. An American family throws
away what would keep European fam
lily Of the poorer class. We in this coun-
try must hereafter adapt ourselves per-
manently to the system of smaller re-
turns and greater economy. We shall be
as rich in the long run for it. The vast
fortunes once realized in few years in
this new country are thing Of the
past. The country is settled up, and its
resources must be divided among many
people. ~-.a.

Pathetic indeed is the story of the
suicide Of James Liddell, editor Of the
Lyons (Ia.) Times. He was a cheer
full, sweet tempered man, with many
friends. But in the note he loft he said
he had contemplated killing himself for
more than a year. A weird horror was
added to the tragedy by the fact that he
had written and left as ''copy" for the
printer an exact account of his own sui
eide as it was to take place and did take
place little later when he threw him
self in front Of railway train. The ar
ticle was all ready, even to the display
headline which he put there with his
own hand. His last earthly task was to
prepare "copy'' for his paper. It was
work in which he had worn himself
out. He was simply tired, disguised
and weary the dispatches said. The
suicide of this capable man and worthy
gentleman is comment enough on mod
ern civilization. Printers and newspa-
per men are ground to death in the mer-
CHESS mill that requires them to work
all night and much Of the day. The
fierce competition of our Industrial sys.
tenn is the cause. Part Of the world
starves while the rest is worked to
death. The times are out of joint in a
beastly way.
