Tramp Slang.

Tramp slang is another apparent
necessity in Jail. A general converse
ton of prisoners would in many in
stances be quite unintelligible to the
uninitiated listener. But it may be de-
pended upon that the boy is only too
alert in gathering in a new phraseolo-
gy, and it is not long after his en-
trance into the Jail until he is fluent in
his newly acquired lingo as any pro-
fessional. He learns all about bum
ming on the roads," gathering for
chewing" hitting the Galway for
punk" rushing the GROWER for his
jigger," Chewing the rag" and other
eccentricities of language too numer-
GUS to mention. After becoming pro-
ficient in this, it is but a step to learn
the racks of the trade. His tutors tell
him about playing the light fingered
act" how to work the Jimmy" when
prying open a window or door, how to
escape from the reform school if he
should ever be sent there, how to steal
clothes from clothes-lines, how to play
the "three-card trick" etc. Very often
he will attempt receptions before he re-
gains his freedom.-"How Men Become

On Trial for the Murder of Mil
liOnaire StillWell.
Son of the Murdered Man On the
Witness Stand.
LETTER AND MESSAGE
Denying Beliefin Hearne's Guilt
Produce Sensation.
Trying to Prove That Mrs. Still
well Was the Prize.

BOWLING GREEN, Mo-, Dec. IA
Richard H. Stillwell, son of the muir
dered man by his first wife, was the
first witness on the stand yesterday
when the case of DR.. Hearne was re-
sumed- His was the principal evil
dence of the day The first part of
of his fathers body after the murder,
and corroborated that of previous
witnesses.
AS to the search for clues, the wit
ness said the searching party found
all the doors open to the alley, matches
scattered along, the silver, the bills,
the wallet and the Sx. DR.. Hearne
was ahead, and found several of the
clues. He did not pick up what he
found, but kicked it over with his
foot, calling other peoples attention
to it. He could not remember who
found the ak. All the windows and
doors were examined, and no traces
were found of any attempt to get into
the house from without.
Witness said his father and his wife
got along reasonably well together,
but that he knew she was not in love
with him. Mrs. Stillwen had ted him
old man for her, and that she wished
she had married a younger man.
The witness testified that he had
heard DR.. Hearne declare that he was
looking for rich woman and a wife.
Hearne had also asked him repeatedly,
after the murder, how much he
thought the estate would pan out.
After the murder DIR. Hearne spent
most of his time at the Stil1wel1 resi-
dence. The relations between DR..
Hearne and the widow were very
close, he being very attentive to her,
and very Oficious about the house.
The defense sprang a sensation dur
ing the examination of Richard Still
well in the shape of a letter written
by him to Mrs. Hearne, while she was
the widow of Amos j. Stillwell, and
stopping at sanitarium in Battle
Creek, Mich. The letter, which was
written in answer to telegram from
| Mrs. Hearne, read as though Mr.. Still
we'll could never believe either DR.
Hearne or his wife could be guilty of
the murder of his father. In explain
ing his reason for writing the letter,
Mr. Stillwen said: 1T was only nat
ural for me, so dong a member of my
fathers family, to- believe and main
tain that my fathers wife was inno-
| cent of this crime.'2
He then related in detail his reasons
for changing his mind in that respect.
| Toward the close of Mr.. Stillwell's
examination late in the afternoon, the
defense sprung another surprise by
producing a copy of the telegram
! Richard Stilwell sent Mrs. Amos Still
well assuring her of his confidence in
| DIR. Hearnes innocence. The witness
turned the tables by remarking: 1.-The
preservation of that letter and that
telegram is proof positive of guilt
AS he finished the remark Mrs.
Hearne fairly gasped for breath and
| tongue,

READING TIRE TELEGRAM.
It Was Very Badly Written, but th'
Drug Store Clerk Made It Out.

It Was Very Badly Written, but the
Drug Store Clerk Made 1t Out.
From the Evansville News: They
were standing on the corner of Seventh
and Vine streets not many nights ago.
One of them had just received a tele-
gram and he was making a great et-
fort to read it. He tried it for several
minutes and then handed 1t to his
friend with an air of disgust.
The second individual gave it up aft
er struggling with it a quarter of an
hour.
81 never saw anything to beat that,
he remarked, as he handed the message
back, land I've seen some pretty bad
writing in my time, too
well, can't read it and I'd like to
know what it says, badly"
LET me see? All, l have it. Drug
clerks can read most any kind of writ
ing. Let US go and see."
They went to the nearest pharmacy
and handed the message to the pre-
scription clerk. Before an explanation
could be made he darted to the rear Of
the shop and disappeared behind the
screen.
After an absence of fifteen minutes,
during which time both men had grown
very restless, the clerk appeared and,
as he handed a bottle to one of the
men, he said:
Sixty cents, please"
Rather stunned for while the man
opened the package and read on the
label:
Zone tespoonful to be taken three
times every hour"
When an explanation was made the
clerk set up the soda water.

worse Than the Most vivid REPORTS.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Dec. l4-At the
meeting of the ambassadors on Tues
day last the reports received from
Armenia at the different embassies
were compared and thoroughly dis
cussed, with the view of enabling the
different representatives to compile
full reports on the subject for the use
of their governments 1t is believed
if the result of this conference is pub
lished it will show an unparalleled
state of affairs. The misery and dis
tress in Armenia are said to be more
severe than the most vivid reports
have made out, and the number of
people massacred is said to be greater
than anybody here really believed.

QUIET WEEK BUSINESS.
Renewal of Activity Expected After the
Holiday Season.

Renewal of Activity Expected After the
Holiday Season.
New YORK, Dec. AR. G. Dun &
Co. S Weekly Review of Trade says:
1t has been a very quiet week, with
out any disturbance. Prices of manu-
featured products slowly recede from
the high water mark of speculation
and no material increase in demand is
now expected until after the holidays,
but there is general confidence that
great activity will then appear and
that works which have stopped little
earlier than usual will again be called
into operation.
The government crop report caused
scarcely a ripple of interest, though
indicating 6, 400, 600 bales less of cotton,
and a larger acreage than had been
expected of winter wheat. The great
supplies of cotton brought over from
previous years render it unimportant
whether the yield of 1895 was 1000, 900
or 5000, 900 bales, except as affecting
future planting, and the extensive
organization of planters to keep back
their cotton deprives small receipts of
their natural influence. Whether
from that cause or not receipts have
recently been over 30 per cent smaller
imam last year, out tak1ngS OF splnners
and exports are also smaller. The
price rose three-sixteenths and closed
at SIS. Sc.
Wool has not advanced with London
sales, as was expected, and $3.50, 900
pounds have been sold-2, 300, 700 for
eign, against 5,474, 300 in the same
week of 1892, of which $500 were

Failures for the week have been 33s
in the United States against $40 last
year, and 81 in Canada against 10 last
year.

WILLIAMsPORT, Pa, Dec. lathe
Pennsylvania state grange PASSED
resolution requesting the American
Protective Tariff League, of New
York, and the Home Market Club, of
Boston, to answer the following ques-
tions:
1. Can tariff on imports directly
or Indirectly protect the home market
prices of agricultural staples as long
as the surplus is sold for export, and
the export and home price of these
are the same?
2, If it cannot, must not this unpro-
tected industry pay for the cost of
protection or the protected industries?
3. Is not such system of protection
injuriously unjust and inequitable to
the producers of agricultural staples?
4. Will not a bounty on the exports
of agricultural staples for the protec-
ton of their prices in the home mar
ket be just and equitable so long as
protection by tariff on imports is in
operation?

FOX AND NAPOLEON.
The English Statesman Fascinated by
the First Consul

the First Consul
During the summer of 1902 Fox Jour-
neyed to Paris, where he was pre-
sented to Bonaparte early in Septem-
Der. The English statesman was fas-
cinated, and although the first consul
said nothing definite or precise, his
visitor departed convinced that his host
desired nothing but peace with a liber-
al policy both domestic and foreign,
as far as was consistent with safety.
But the attacks Of the English press
became none the less virulent in con-
sequence of Fox's favorable report, or
of his brilliant defense of France from
his place in parliament. Toward the
close of January Talleyrand remon-
strated with Whitworth, this time CIV
ing point to his remonstrance by
plump demand as to what England in
tended to do about Malta. Whitworth
replied that he was without instruc-
lions, and made an evasive answer,
limiting that the kings opinion OF the
changes that had taken place in Eu-
rope since the treaty might be 1m-
portance in determining him as to the
disposal of the island. This was the
first official intimation that England
did not intend to keep her promise.
A few days later Sebastiani returned
from the East, and on. January 80, 1903,
the "Moniteur' published his thorough
and careful report. 1t was long docu-
ment, fully explaining every source OF
English weakness in the Orient, ana
setting forth the possibilities of re-es-
tablishing French colonies in Egypt
and the Levant. There was only one
menacing phrase, but it expressed an
unpalatable truth, that 5000 French
troops could now conquer Egypt" The
publication in England of this paper
raised tremendous popular storm, and
it has pleased many historians to re-
gard Bonaparte's course as virtual
declaration of war. In reality it was
merely a French Roland for the Eng
1ish Oliver. If England intended to
keep Malta, let her beware Of her
prestige in the East. Had Bonaparte
intended to act on Sebastiani's report,
he certainly would not have published
it. OF course, the English populace
utterly failed to grasp so nice point
and the incident so strained the reIa-
tons of France and England that all
Europe saw the impending crisis-one
or the other, or both, must consent TO
a modification of the treaty in respect
to Malta, or there would be war

AID FOR THEM.
The Suffering Armenians to be
Relieved from Hunger.
The Red Cross Society Takes
the Matter Up Finally.
1T WILL TAKE MONEY.
EilliOns Of Dollars Must be
Raised for the Fund.
Risking Death to Aid $4,000
Christian Armenians.
1T WILL TAKE MONEY.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I4.-The Ameri-
can Red Cross Society has decided to
accept the duty of distributing the re-
lief funds for the Armenian sufferers,
and has issued the following state
ment:
sOwing to the unanimous and
urgent appeals from the friends of
humanity, representing nearly all of
the people of this country, the Ameri-
can National Red Cross has decided
that it must accept the sacred trust of
endeavoring to relieve starving Arme-
mans in Asia Minor. According to
conservative estimates there are 100000
utterly destitute people in that country
who will have to be assisted six or
eight months-until the next harvest.
Fully realizing the difficulties and
dangers to be met, the Red Cross will
start for Turkey as soon as sufficient
funds are placed at its disposal, or
guaranteed, to insure success. Funds
maya be sent to Miss Clara Barton,
president and treasurer of the Ameri-
can National Red Cross, Washington,
D. c. Authorized agents to receive
funds and materials will be published
in a few days. The Red Cross also
suggests that goods, grain and other
materials may be sent by chartered
steamer"
The society has had this plan of re-
lief under consideration for some time,
but it is stated was reluctant to assume
the dangers and responsibilities in
volved. Miss Barton feels that it will
be the most extensive relief work ever
undertaken. Letters and kilograms
have come from all directions urging
that the work be undertaken. The
Rev. F. D. Green, the writer on
Turkish questions, the heads of mis-
sionary and relief bodies, editors of
leading Christian papers, as well as
public men and private individuals,
have asked that the Red Cross assume
the duties of distributing the funds.
The information reaching the So
ciety through missionary boards and
other sources in Turkey, places the
number of destitute between $50, 900
and 500 900, mostly women and chill
dren. Such widespread want, Miss
Barton says, can be met only by re-
lief funds running into the millions.
1t is estimated that the cost of relief
per capita will be much heavier than
in the case of the Johnsto1vn and Sea
cessi bility of the sufferers.
The Red Cross party, including Miss
Barton, will leave Immediately after
being assured of a sufficient sum to
carry forward the work. The start
must be made at an early day, as it
will take five weeks to get to the dis
tressed district, and the demands of
the suffering people are urgent

Office. MIR. Bell had been employed to
draft plans for the new building at the

appropriated by the last general assem-
bly,. The plans were submitted to the
governor, who said they are nearer his
ideas than any that have been made for
any public building during his term of
Office.
The governors ambition seems to be
to have all state buildings erected under
his administration represent the German
style of architecture, and this one will
be built in that STYLE,
