During these days of intense politi-

TO remember that the Overshadowing
interests and the supreme issues are
those connected with the salvation of
immortal souls. We do not under
rate the political, economic, and mon
etary questions which our nation is
called on anew to decide, but we do
recognize that the considerable
which outranks and which will out
live them all Is that Of salvation
Trough Jesus Christ. As Christian
people we shall strive 10 discharge
our civil duties soberly, honestly, and
in fear of God, but we shall remem-
Der that our spiritual duties must be
carried forward with no abatement

that they are entering upon decisive

in A BARREL
We're Found the Nude Bodies of
Gray-Haired Man and a Ten-DayS'
Old BOy---A Chicago Mystery De-
velOped Yesterday.

Chicago, March S.-Carefully conceal
ed in barrel, and covered with mass
of old rags and cotton, the dead bodies
of a gray-haired man and a newborn
babe we're found in an alley in Hyde
Park to-day. In consequence, the pO-
lice are working on what they consider
a double murder. Onl :, one clue is in
tLeir possession, and on the discovery
of the identity of a woman, as yet un-
known to the police, depends the possi-
BILE solution of the mystery.
Early this afternoon, the office in Raj
stons Hyde Park morgue was rang up
on the telephone and a woman, who de-
clined to give either her name or ad-
dress, asked if the body OF a man had
been found in Hyde Pork. The office
attendant replied in the negative and
then questioned the woman, but his
best efforts failed to get any informa-
tion of a decided character, although
she told the clerk she was looking for a
man who was missing. She was finally
prevailed upon to give his description
which she did in minute detail. She
astonished the morgue attendant by
saying in conclusion that he would GER
tainly learn more about the case later
on.
Four hours later the barrel with its
ghastly contents was discovered in the
rear Of the house at No. 1929 Indiana
avenue. The body of the man tailed
in almost every respect with the de-
scription furnished by the mysterious
woman over the telephone wire and the
police unhesitatingly connected her
with the case. In the barrel also was
the body of boy not over ten days old.
J. A. Nurse, residing in Prairie ave-
nue., while emptying pan of ashes in
the alley at the rear of his home. dis
covered a barrel which aroused his
curiosity. Breaking open the head of
the receptacle, he was Mortified upon
seeing the hacked body of an old man
inside. Ii was entirely nude and was
frightfully mutilated. Covering the
corpse was a thick layer of cotton. The
police we're at once notified and the bar
rel was removed to the morgue. The
head and trunk gave every evidence of
foul play, the skull showing several
deep wounds. On the left forearm were
tattOOed five spots close together
There was nothing else to give any
clue to the mans identity After the
several pieces of the body had been
lifted from the barrel the body of the
baby was found. 1t was nude, save for
a thin flannel shirt and there were two
marks on the side of the head, apparent
ly made with blunt instrument.
The body of the elder male was that
of man between 60 and 20 years of
age.
The police laugh at the theory that
1t was the work of medical students.
and are positive in their statements
that the man and child we're murdered.

a force of police and gendarmes opposed
their passage through the streets. y
desperate struggle ensued and several

towns also have sent messages offering

Sweet remembrance of the atfec-

people of the United States when l
went to their country, representing my
own. at the festivities in honor of Co
lumbus lives, and ever will live in my
heart.
During those festivities strong
proofs of mutual esteem were given by
both countries.
Il became convinced, and still am
persuaded, that never, never, should
that traditional friendship be broken,
much less should peace be disturbed.
Being apart from affairs Of state,
can only pray God fervently that COR
dial relations between the two countries
may never cease. EULALlE.'
A special to the World from Madrid
says:
The World correspondent was receiv-
ed by the Infanta (Princess) Eulalie to
receive from her a message of good will
TO the World for the American people.
The Infanta had made the appoint
ment through Senor Canoyas, the prime
minister, who had kindly obtained the
queen regents willing consent to 1t,
which assent is indispensable for any
communication with a princess of the
blood royal
The Spanish premier informed the
bof y
lnfanta was. to quote her own words,
delighted to have an opportunity to
show that | cherish pleasant recollec-
tions of my visit to the United States" "
At the appointed hour the World cor
respondent was received by Her Royal
Highness in a beautiful gallery filed
with rare plants and antique furniture.
Her message was written on court
paper in English and in her own hand
writing, and in giving it to the CORE
spOndent she remarked:
you need not apologize for troub-
ling me. as | am glad to find this Oppor-
tunity TO show how much l appreciate
America" "
The Infanta then spoke in the most
enthusiastic terms Of the people of the
United States and of the Worlds Fair.
As the correspondent was leaving Her
Royal Highness said:
Look y0nder on the wall" pointing
10 one of numerous photographs hang
ing there. THAT is one of Mrs. Cleve-
land, who is so lovely and so kind"
do you like the American women ?"

M'KINLEY HAS IT.
4 Prediction That Ills Friends Will Have
Control in Kansas.

Wichita, Kans., March S.-The Re-
publican State Convention to elect six
delegates-at-large to the st. Louis Con-
vention will convene in this city on
Tuesday. A few politicians struggled
into town to-day, but it is expected
there will be a general influx tO-mor-
row morning. 1t is a foregone conclu-
sion that the Mckinley men will have
everything their own way, in view of
the action of a majority of the county
conventions instructing for the Ohioan.
The action of the six Congressional dis
trict conventions yet to be held is no
more in doubt than is the action OF the
State Convention, and it is as good as
settled that Kansas will send a solid
delegation to st. Louis instructed for
Mckinley. II is generally agreed, too,
that Tuesdays convention will endorse
Cy Leland for member of the Republi-
can National Committee.
