magistrates VIII BE Removed.
ON THE VERGE FAMINE.

Nin9 Hundred Paupers Lack Food Be-
cause San Francisco Has No Money.
SAN Francisco, April 3O.-Nine hum
dred inmates of the city and county
almshouse are on the verge of famine.
Medicine and food supplies at the hospi-
tai are at a low ebb; at the county Jail
the larder is nearly empty, and in the
various houses of the fire department
the oats is gone or nearly gone, and only
a few bales of hay in each of the stables
attached.
And this queer condition of things is
due to careless management of the city
and county's financial affairs during
the first half of the present fscaI
year. There is no money in the treasu
ry that can be used for the payment of
supplies and the deficit for the year will
reach $35O,000. The supreme court has
decided that the funds obtained from a
tax levy in one fiscal year cannot be used
to pay for supplies purchased in pre-
viOus year
This means that if the contractors
should honor the acquisitions from the
various city departments under the exist
ing conditions they would not receive
pay for the goods delivered
The supervisors adopted Il resolution
announcing their intention of providing
in the tax levy for the next fiscal year Tor
the payment of supplies furnished to
the city from now until July 1, 1898 To-
day the supreme court is to be asked to
restrain the supervisors from carrying
out their intentions. This will take the
matter into court and speedy decision
will be asked. But this will take time,
and it is necessary funds be supplied al
once so that contractors may be pre-
vailed upon to furnish supplies.
The cost of meeting the urgent needs
for supplies for the next two months is
estimated at the highest at $4,000, and
at the lowest at $4,000. One month's
salary bills would amount to $4,000, and
there will be money enough from cur
rent income to meet these.
If the employees insist upon their war
rants their claims take precedence and
there will be nothing for the CONTRACTORS

VIOLATES SECRET BALLOT
Missouri Supreme Court Says Grand Jury
Can't Inspect ballot Boxes.

Missouri Supreme Court Says Grand Jury
Can't Inspect Ballot Boxes.
KANSAS CITY, April 3O-The state su-
preme court at Jefferson City today rend-
cred an important decision in connection
with the Australian ballot law.
At the last November elections in Jack
son county and Kansas City gross frauds
are said 10 have been committed The
matter was brought before the grand
jury and the latter body called on the
recorder of voters to produce the ballot
boxes for their inspection.
The recorder demurred and the case
was finally taken to the supreme court
for adjudication. The court today re-
leased the recorder of voters from the
tentative custody of the marshal and
denies the right of the criminal court to
compel the recorder to produce the bal
lot boxes.
In summing up the court says: "The
considerations which induced the states
OF this union to adopt the secret ballot
not only continue to exist, but others
have been added. The timid voter is not
only protected from his opuIent employ
er, but from the aggressive spirit of his
own fellows and the Nominations of
brotherhoods and unions"
Giving the grand jury the right to in
spect the ballot boxes, the court holds,
would violate the secrecy of the ballot,
as well as an infringement of the consti-
tuition.

Brother-in-Iaw of Noah StreviI Takes a
Large Dose of Carboiic Acid.
FORT ScoTT, April 30.-Dan Anterior,
half brother OF Noah Strevil, who is now
on trial here for the murder of his aged
father, Stewart Strevil, swallowed the
contents of bottle of carbolic acid at
his home, eighteen miles from this city,
with suicidal intent.
1t was at first reported that he had

brother, who ID also his brother-in-law
from the terrible crime and assuming it
himself.
An investigation, however, proved the
report to be false, and from the dying
mans wife. who is bed-fast with fever, it
was learned that his reason for the act
was family trouble.
For four years Anterior and Strevil

He DiscIaims All Participation in Crimes
Charged Against Him.
LONDON. April 30-The Old Bailey
was less crowded today when the court
opened for what was expected to be the
last day of the trial of Oscar Wilde and
Alfred Taylor on the charge of serious
misdemeanors
Sir Edward Clarke, in the opening
speech for the defense, denounced the
conduct Of large section of the press,
saying that it was such as to prejudice
the case of his client and imDeril the in
terests of justice.
Wilde was then placed upon the stand
and absolutely denied that there was a
word of truth in the charges of indie
cency brought against him He an
swered the questions of Sir Edward
Clarke in subdued tones.
During the examination of the pris-
oner by his counsel, it was apparent that
there was remarkable change in the
character of those attending the trial
1t was evident that many of Wilde's
friends were present in court and the
general atmosphere of the place
was less hostile to the pris-
Oner than upon previous occasions.
Sir Edward Clarke asserted that Wilde
WAS a martyr, and that he had accepted
verdict of not guilty in the Queens
berry case only because it was evident
that it could not be properly tried then.
When Wilde was placed in the dock.
it was evident that he had been we'll
coached for the occasion. He seemed to
have lost all the swagger which so dis
gusted all who witnessed it during the
former trial.
c. F. Gill, on behalf of the prosecu-
ton, quoted from the sonnet to Lord
Alfred Douglass. in which occurred the
line, 81 am that love, but dare not speak
its name"
Mr. Gill asked what was the nature of
the love represented in that poem.
Wilde with marked deliberation and
emphasis answered: alt is love not I'M
derstood in this century. Il is love OF
David for Jonathan; deep, spiritual af-
lection as pure as it is perfect 1t is
something this age does not understand
1t mocks at it and sometimes puts one
into the pillory."
As Wilde finished his answer there
were loud cheers from the gallery,
which called forth rebuke from the
judge, who threatened to eject those
who took part in the demonstration.
After a short cross examination during
which Wilde denied everything, Charles
Parker was examined and cross exam

PULLMAN TO RETIRE.
VIII Probably Be Succeeded by Secretary
of State Gresham.

win Probably Be Succeeded by Secretary
of State Gresham.
NEW YORK, April 3O.-A curious ex-
PLANTATION is offered by a Chicago man
here of Secretary Gresham's mysterious
visit to New York recently. He says
that Pullman's Palace Car company is
trying to induce Secretary Gresham to
accept the presidency of that gigantic
corporation.
For six months past the stockholders
of the Pullman corporation have been
quietly taking steps for a reorganiza-
ton of the official directory. 1t is pro-
posed, so the story goes, that George NJ.
Pullman, whose name has been on
rybody's tongue for the past year.
shall retire from the presidency and be
succeeded by a man of commanding in
fluence and personal popularity.
1t would not surprise a majority of
those persons who are rated as close
friends of Secretary Gresham's, it is
added, if he were to accept some such
position AS the presidency of a corpora
ton at good salary. He is thoroughly
disguised with politics and the affairs of
the state department hang heavily on
his hands.

ELASTIC HOTEL BILLS.

How Drummers May Beat Tattoo on
Their Employers Bank Account.
''How much shall 1 make out your
bill for?'' inquired the country hotel
clerk, as the guest was leaving, says the
New York Herald.
''Male it out for what l owe" replied
the man, a little surprised.
1.-The bill is six dollars" continued
the clerk, with an ingratiating smile,
but I'd just as soon make it out for nine
or ten dollars. It's all the same to us. "
Perhaps it is, !" the puzzled guest ex-
claimed, but it isn't to me. Why
should 1 pay nine or ten dollars when
my bill is six dollars?"
Aren't you a drumner?" the clerk
suddenly demanded.
Certainly not" There was pause,
and then the guest suddenly demanded:
''What's all this business about fake
bills, anyway"
eve always make out bills to suit
for drummers," explained the clerk,
''so's they can come out even on their
expense accounts. A travelling man
who pays US six dollars can get re-
ceipt for ten dollars if he likes, and
when he settles with his employers he
shows them the receipted bill and
pockets the differences I thought you
were drummer.

''but 1 know a good many drummers.
In fact, employ about a hundred, and
I notice that when they come to this
town they always stop at this hotel.

joint, and that I'm always charged
three dollars and half Mover mind

stops here"
And as he went out the clerk looked
as if he thought he had put his foot
right in it, and the foot was held there.

CHICAGO MARKEr LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange. Room s.. Columbian Building.
The fever having subsidized somewhat,
holders have been more disposed to
take profits, and the market has been
weak accordingly. Closing cables
came in easier The advance
has checked business all around
and a reaction was the necessary.
Thooman estimates winter wheat crop of
344000,000 bushels on. the present
outlook and Bradstreet reports
an increase of 1,129,000 bushels
in Europe and afoat the past week. Elk
ports from all parts of the world last
week were heavy.
General rains have fallen in The
west and are predicted for the
central states. The outlook is rather en-
couraging to holders and would hold
some wheat around these prices.
Corn and oats were weaker today on
account of heavy realizing. There is a
noticeable pressure of long stuff for sale
by timid longs on hard spots.
Provisions: Packers are disposed to
supply the demand when it is urgent,
but the trade takes it we'll. The market
acts stubborn and do not look for any
further break in pork.
