1t is a little amusing, a little
more confusing, and a good deal
exssperating to hear those WASH
ington fellows declare that there
has been no offensive work on the
part of the Allison following and
and that he can come with good
grace into the camp of the Ohio
man. If there was nothing offen-
sive in that Fredericksburg steal,
and in that Austin mob, dominat-
ed by negro brutality, it would be
in order for some one to rise and
explain in what political indecen-
cy and usurpation consists. Go to
Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Lou
isiana and see the same tactics re-
peated and.then'stand up and de-
clare that there has been nothing
offensive to the Mckinley interests
and rights in these usurpations.
1t is all bosh. Mckinley is the
choice Of eighty per cent of the re-
publicans of Texas, and the state
convention that stole the rights of
the party in Texas to its choice
has nothing to hope for in the
camp Of the man whom it thus at
tempted to deprive Of the honor
able support that it was the free
wish Of Texas republicans to give.

A Minnesota Pastor Sentenced for Poison
ing His Wife.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 2O.-The trial of
Rev. James Z. Hull, for poisoning his
wife, came to a dramatic end Thurs
day afternoon, Mr.. Hull changing his
plea to guilty. A few minutes before
noon Prosecuting Attorney Butler
placed in evidence a letter which Hull
wrote last February to pastor in Cali
fornia, saying his wife was slowly
dying of a cancer and that she could
not live the year out. This letter con-
tradicted Hull's previous testimony,
especially US it had been shown that
Mrs. Hull did not have cancer and
that Hull was aware of the fact, hav-
ing been told so by DR.. Hawkins, his
family physician. At the opening of
the afternoon session S. l.. Pierce, HuIl's
attorney, advised Hull that the Cali
fornia letter in effect convicted, and adj
vised him to plead guilty. This the lat
ter did. and Judge Egan sentenced him
to six years in state prison in Still
water. The trial has been in progress
four days. Hull had insured his wife's
life for $4,000, and spent several weeks
trying to poison her with arsenic. Up
to last winter Hull was pastor of the
Clinton Avenue Methodist Episcopal
church, and created a sensation in
church circles by taking decided stand
against the A. p. A.

but also exceed those of the same week in

anxious to prevent anything like the fic-

nearly all branches an excessive rise In
prices Is prevented. But with more hands
at work there is inevitably a greater de-

QUEER MUNICH HOTEL.
Run by Duke Theodore of Bavaria en- o
Plan Peculiarly His Own.

Run by Duke Theodore of Bavaria en-
Plan Peculiarly His Own.
A thousand years ago Benedictine
monks discovered a small sulphur
spring on a mountain near Munich.
They built a hospital there that was
used by their order until 90 years ago,
when it was bought by King Maxi
milan, of Bavaria, who filled it with
poor sick folk. says the London Mail.
When the king died his grandson.
Duke Theodore, found that he had not
money enough to keep up his charity.
After long and anxious consultation
with his brothers the honest. kindly
prince erected new buildings and
opened the house every year for three
months as hotel. 1t was patronized
by many of the royal and noble families
of Europe, though it is free to every
conner who will conduct himself re-
specially and pay for his accommoda-
tons.
Duke Theodore provides the food
from his own farm. which he oversees,
while his brother. Prince Ludwig, acts
as host of the hotel. All guests are re-
quested to leave on the last day of Au-
gust. The house is then filled with
scores of poor teachers, artists and au-
thors. invalid soldiers and poorly paid
clergymen. whom the royal brothers
have formally invited to honor them
with visit. The money made during
the summer is devoted to their enter
tainment. The duke and prince remain
in the house. lavishing kindness and
courtesy upon their guests.
