A PUZZLED PHILOSOPHER.
Why Should He So Greatly Miss the
Things That Are Not?

why Should He So Greatly Miss tho
Things That Are Not?
A philosopher dwelt in house owned
by Cleon. But one day Cleon came to
the philosopher and said, "Why have
you not sent me the money for last
month s rent?" The philosopher said he
knew Of no reason except that he had no
money, having gotten to the bottom of
his purse.
"You will have to move out, said
Cleon, "to make room for a cordwainer
I know who wants this house and has
money.
"Would you, then, said the philoso-
pher, turn me out when I am so COM
Portable here, having dwelt in this house
80 years?''
cit is my comfort, said Cleon, "and
not yours that consider. -
"Then you prefer cordwainer, !
conclude, to philosopher. -
"No," said Cleon; "a landlord has
no preference except to prefer rent mon
ey to no rent money!
So the cordwainer moved into the
philosopher house, and the philosopher
went to live in the mean howell Of the
cordwainer.
But once there, although contented
enough, because he was philosopher,
yet he could not avoid the obtrusive
facts Of the absence of all those things
which in his former habitation had
grown habitual to him.
This was the first thing that puzzled
him-how that which was not could be
so obtrusive "What," said he, "can be
so entirely nonexistent as negation?
And yet here I am confronted with an
obtrusive negation."

drawers, table, fireplace and the
scenery from the window where used
to sit. Iwonder if it will be so after we
are driven out from our bodies because
death, the final, memorable landlord, de
mands a rental we cannot pay.
In time, however, the philosopher
gradually ceased being oppressed by the
obtrusive memories and grew accustom
ed to new associations.

This was the last blow. So for five

BIG VIRGINIA STRIKE,
Fifteen Thousand Men Idle in pocoh on
taS Coal Fields.

Philadelphia, May 1.-Advices re-
ceived this afternoon from Roanoke,
Va, at the general office of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad company, in this
city, state that several thousand coal
miners employed on the lines of the
Norfolk and Western road in the 'oco-
hontas coal fields, struck this moning

but this cannot be confirmed. There
are thirtysiX Independent operations
on the Elllhorn extension of the road
affected out of total of thirty-eight
operations. The remaining two are To-
Gated at Pocohontas. The movement is
understood to be the result of the ac-
ton of the railroad company in advanc-
ing rates, and the operators in turn in
order to keep up their profits, have re-
duced the scale of prices heretofore re-
ceived by the miners. The strike does
not suspend operations altogether, as
the company has the Clinch Valley. the
Kenova fields and the two operations in
the Pocohontas region, which are not
affected.

BLANCHE LAMONT INQUEST.
Evidence Pointing to the Guilt Of Durant
Is Produced

San Francisco May 1.-The coroner's
inquest in the case of Blanche Lamont,
one of the girls found murdered in
Emanuel Baptist church, was COM
menced this morning. Mrs. c. j. Noble,
aunt Of the dead girl, was the first wit
ness. She testified that on the night of
the murder she attended prayer meeting
at the church. Durant was there and
asked her If Miss Lamont would be
present. She told him no.
The rings sent Mrs. Noble by mail
were shown to her and she identified
them as having been on Blanche's fin
gers on the day of her disappearance.
Just before Christmas, the witness said,
Blanche told her that Durant had pro-
posed to her and she thought that he
did not mean 1t, as she had known him
so short time. AS she thought he was
joking she mumbled an affirmative re-
ply only in jest. When she learned
that he was engaged to another girl she
told him she would not marry him.
After wrangling over the testimony
for two hours the jury this afternoon
brought in Il verdict charging Durant
with the murder of Miss Blanche La
mont. The delay was all brought
about by enc juror who wanted to rem
der verdict OF murder caused by q
party unknown. unless the police con-
sented to furnish additional testimony.

WILDE JURY DISAGREES.
Obliged to Have Another Trial-IIcld
Without Bail.


London, May 1.-The Old Bailey
court room was crowded at the opening
of the Wilde trial this morning. He
looked care-worn and anxious, but
Taylor maintained the air of uncon-
Germ which has characterized him
throughout.
Justice Charles, in the beginning of
his charge, said that the evidence had
not sustained the charge of conspiracy,
and he therefore directed the jury to
acquit the prisoners of these charges.
The judge then proceeded to analyze
the evidence, solely referring to Wilde.
He was of opinion that there was cor
roboration in the testimony of all the
witnesses in the sense that the law re-
quired. 1t did not, it was true, amount
to seeing the actual act: but 1t showed
the relations and general conduct of the
parties. The judge then proceeded to
trace the history of the Queensberry
trial. The judge, in concluding his
charge, said the case was one Of great
importance to the community If the
jury believed that the charges against
the prisoners were true, they should
say so fearlessly.
The jury retired at 1.30 o'clock p. m.
After deliberating three and half
hours the jury returned to the court
room and announced that they had
failed to agree upon a verdict. They
were thereupon discharged and the
prisoners were remitted for a new trial.
Application was made for the admis-
sion of Wilde and Taylor to bail, but
the judge refused to accept bail for
either of them.

FIGHT WITH BANDITS.
Thomas Farraii shoots Richard Ran by
Mistake When Intending to Kill Hotel.
Eccper IIaag.

st. Joseph, Mo, May 1.-The Burling-
ton officials here received information
last night that the Omaha express
would be held up at st. George, SUI
burb of this city. Six or seven tough
looking men have been hanging around
there for couple of days. The informa-
tion was furnished by a hotel man
named Haag, who overheard the plot.
He notified the officials and they frus-
trated the attempt.
At o'clock this evening young man
named Richard Rau was sitting in
Haag's place when one Of the supposed
gang, who afterward gave the name
Of Thomas Farrall, stepped in the door,
drew a revolver and shot Rau through
the stomach, fatally wounding him.
Then he ran out to where a partner,
who says his name is Dan Howard, was
awaiting him, and the two ran up the
railroad tracks followed by several
citizens who began firing at them.
A running fire was kept up for some
distance without effect when the two
escaped among some box cars. Later
they attempted to cross the Missouri
bridge into Kansas and We're pursued
by eX-Sheriff Carson and Officer Barry.
The officers overlook them at the west
ent of the bridge and ordered the fugi-
tives to halt. Howard was covered by
Carson and surrendered, but Farrell
drew two revolvers and opened fire,
shooting Officer Barry through the
arm. Then Farrell dashed down into
the brush followed by Barry and Off
GERS Franz and Shea, who had by this
time reached the scene of battle. y
running fight ensued, in which over
forty shots We're fired.
Farrell was finally shot through the
left breast at a point just above the
heart and is in dying condition.
Farrell is supposed to come from St.
Louis When he ran out af Haag's
place he yelled to his partner:
Il have shot the wrong man. dis

HELD FOR MURDER.
Curtaiar Will BE Tried as the Slayer of
Johanna Loguc.

Philadelphia, May deputy Coroner
Dugan today held an inquest in the case
of Johanna Logue, whose body was
found in October, 1893, beneath the
kitchen floor of her late residence at
1850 North Eleventh street The wo-
man was murdered in February, 1879,
and the remains were thus inferred by
her slayer. The inquest was in pro-
gress for over three hours, number of
witnesses being examined, and, at it's
close, the jury formally held Alfonso
+. Cutaiar, jr., the stepson of the wo-
man, as the person responsible for her
death.
Jimmy Logue, the notorious bur-
glar and husband of the murdered wo-
man, who was charged with the murder,
and who surrendered to the authorities
several months ago, was recommitted
to await action of the district attorney.
Logue will be held as a witness, it be-
ing mainly due to him that the police
and the coroner have been able to ferret
out the crime and fasten it upon Gu
taiar.

Charlotte, N. c., May 1.-The fugitive

escape to Savannah, Ga, In an express
car on Tuesday night. Friends put him
in a large box, labeled the box to a Sa

man to keep the secret. 1t Is believed
that he Is now in CASTOR county, this
state, and that he will be arrested to-
morrow. Had Holland remained he
would probably have escaped with q
sentence of not more than two years,
but the district attorney says he will
now prosecute with the utmost vigor,
which will probably mean ten years
sentence. Mr.. Glenn came here to put
Holland Immediately under arrest, but
was dissuaded by the promises of the
officers of the Merchants and Farmers
bank to produce him when wanted.
Holland wrote letter to the district
attorney saying he would stay and face

Resolved, BY the senate and assembly of

and denounce the supineness, dilatoriness
and lack of national and patriotic spirit
which has characterized the administra-
ton at Washington in dealing with this
complication, and
Resolved, That we regard as a betrayal
OF fundamental American principle and
neglect on the part of the chief executive
and the head of the department of state
to interpose resolutely and effectively
against such forcible invasion of a sister
republic and against such infraction of
the principle and precept of the Monroe
doctrine.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
tions. duly attested, be forwarded to the
president of the United States, to the sec
retary of the department of state and to
the representatives in congress from the
state of New York, for presentation to
said congress at its next session.

WOMAN TAKES A DEGREE.


Berlin, May An Engllshwoman,
Miss Grace Chisholm. has just taken
the degree Of philosophy at the univer-
sity of Gottingen, with the express per-
mission of the Prussian minister of
education. This is the first degree ever
taken by a woman since Gottingen be
came a Prussian university. as the en-
peror has hitherto opposed the admis-
sion of women to the imperial univer-
stiles.
1t is supposed that the comforting of
the degree upon Miss Chisholm indi-
Gates a change of policy, and is pre-
liminary to further concessions in re-
gard to the higher education of women.
The new departue has caused much stir
in the German academic world.
