THE ATWATER MURDER.
The Impulse to Lynch the Assassins Re
strained With Difficulty.


strained With Difficulty.
ST. Louis, Jan. 24.-Webster Groves
is wildly excited over the terrible trag-
edy of Thursday night, when Bertram
E. Atwater, a young Chicago artist
who had gone to the pretty little sub
urb to visit his betrothed, was way
laid by highwaymen and foully muir
dcrad.
One OF the robbers, wounded to
death by the plucky Chicagoan, will
probably die before the sun goes
down. The other thug, Sam Foster,
and ''Cottonhead'' Smith, who ar
ranged the trap into which Mr.. At
water was unsuspectingly lured and
then slain, are in custody.
While the inquest was being held to-
day, citizens of the village became SO
enraged that it was with the greatest
difficulty that cooler heads could re-
strain the prevailing impulse to drag
the captive highwaymen from the law
officer and hang them.
The dead man was of considerable
prominence throughout the country
among his craftsman. He had a studio
on Wabash avenue, in Chicago, and
lived with his oarents in that city. He
had done considerable art work for the
leading magazines, and was the de-
signer of the Union station catalogue.
He had been corresponding with Miss
Genevieve Orion for a long time, and
was on his way to see her after an alb
sence of many months, when he was
met and slain almost in sight of her
home.
The young lady, who was one of the
first to reach the dead body of her
lover and followed it weeping to the I'M
dertaker's, is almost Frustrated with
grief, and has the sympathy of all her
ueighbors in her great bereavement.

THERE Is more Catarrh In this section Of

years doctors pronounced it a local disease,

pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

And il Necessary Use Them, Too, Against
the Spaniards.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25-Capt. W. W.
keer, the counsel of the Hart line of
steamers, declared yesterday that the
steamers Of that line w}l be fully
armed with guns, which will be used
against the Spaniards if necessary.
He said the acquittal at Charleston,
Thursday, of Capt. Hughes of the
steamer Laurada, of the charge of car
rying arms and men to Cuba, will be
followed with similar verdicts here
next month in the cases of the steam
crs Leon and Horsa, because, as was
shown in the Laurada case, the yes
sells of the line have done nothing
wrong, and that the ''trumped-up evil
dence' can justly have no weight with
the jury.

L. Serious Condition, But Her PhySlcl-
ans Hopeful of Her Recovery.
CINCINNATI. Jan. 23.-Madame Mod
jesl1a, the actress is not only unable to
fulfill her engagement here this week,
but it is feared it will be weeks before
she can act again if at all. Doctors
Giles Mitchell and J. T. Whitaker,
who are attending her, yesterday al
ternoon issued the following bulletin:
Madame Modjesla was attacked with
phlegmesia, serious affection. The
swelling on the left side OF the neck is
very painful and renders any move
mcnt of the arm almost impossible.
and absolutely incapacitates her from
filling her engagements"
DR.. Whitaker explains that ph1eg-
masia is Il clot of blood resulting di-
rectly from the inner tissues of vein
injured or torn in some manner. pos
sibly from strain, preventing free
circulation.
In the case of Nine. Modjeska it is
serious, for the reason that the clot is
in the jugular vein, and if not re-
moved will, it is feared, bring about
the most unfortunate results. DIR.
Mitchell, while he considers her case
IS serious, is hopeful of her recovery.

airy year represents the spirit of the
times. The present Congress. In both
branches. averages exceedingly. well.
There are men of a very high order of
legislative capacity in each branch. There
are constitutional lawyers In either branch
capable of sustaining themselves in con-
test before any tribunal with the pick of
the country outside of Congress.
1t is absolutely untrue to assert that in
this matter of Cuba Congress has no war
rant from the country for the sympathy it
is manifesting for the insurgents. That is
the very basis of its action. But for that
it would never have thought of going SO
far II the people of the United States are
not in sympathy with Cuba they have be-
lied themselves, and that is entirely out of
the question. AT public meetings, and
through both the press and the pulpit, In
all sections. they have expressed them
selves in the p,ainest terms in favor of Gu
ban independence. Never for war with
Spain, of course. They are not in favor of
that now. But for the independence of
Cuba-for the right of the people of that
island to be free from tyrannical taxation
and other forms Of Spanish oppression-the
people of this country have repeatedly
registered their feelings of approval.
Let the record be kept straight. So far
as the question of independence pS4uer is
concerned. the people are with Congress
and not with the President. If Congress is
degenerate, the authority behind 1t Is de-
generate. But neither is degenerate.

The Christmas Sentiment.

Christmas appeals to the best there is in
mankind. 1t stirs the religious sentiments
ard stimulates generosity. 1t promotes
peace and happiness and brings to the sur
face all the latent goodness of the race.
Hence, aside from its history and deeper
significance. the day is of great value. The
looseDing of the bonds of selfishness that
tie down the charitable impulses in many
breasts. even though il occurs at such rare
intervals as once year, is yet blessing
and a saving grace.
These are not the most optimistic con-
siderat:ons inspired by Christmas. They
recognize the fact that the world is In
hurry and that it yields too readily to its
selfish tendencies in moments of relaxation.
But the spirit of Christmas tide goes fur
Their, for it brings more than a mere coun-
teraction of evil 1t is a positive influence
for great and lasting gain for the better
ment of all. 1t gives the devout the breath
of Il rev life in the fight against sin. and
it is strengthening to feel that each sue
ceedicg celebration of the birth of Him who
embodied all that is good and pure and
holy in life leaves the world nearer the
Neal that He set III the hearts of men.
His influence, coming down the centuries
with an accommodating force, has wrought
steadily for peace, for the calming of hui
man passions and the arbitrament of diff
ferences between men and nations by ap-
peas TO reason rather than to force.
Thus Christmas comes to be worlds
festival day of recognition of that
standard of right living that must be
preserved in full view of all races and
classes if the process of moral Improvement
is to continue. The symbols of the occa-
sion, the rest from labor, the services of
praise and song i'll the sanctuaries the ex-
change of gifts and greetings, and the
typefying display of those products of Ma
ture that live in their beautiful green
freshness through the winters SHOWS
these are but the eXternals of the sentiment
that thrills the worlds soul today phrased
in the undying message: "On Earth peace,
good viii toward men"
