BRITISH SAILORS RATIONs.

or 1 pound of biscuits, 1 pound Of
meat, including bone; 1 ounce ~of CO.
Goa, quarter of an ounce Of tea, 2
ounces of sugar and one-half pound of
mixed vegetables. These quantities
compare very favorably with the SOL
diers ration, which consists of 1pound
of bread, three-quarters of a pound of
meat, including bone; the remaining
articles of food, such as vegetables,
coffee, tea, cocoa, sugar, ETC., the sol
der has to pay for himself, and for
this purpose the sum of Sd per diem
is deducted from his pay. From this
statement it can easily be seen that
the British sailor appears to fare con-

MELANCHOLY TESTIMONY.

New York, Aug. 4.--The New York
Mail and Express, the leading after
noon paper of this city, says: "The
recent closing of mills in New Eng
land operating about 100000 spind-
les is melancholy testimony to the
havoc effected by the uncertainty and
depression resulting from the tariff
smashing and Notwithstanding policy
of the present administration. The
financial agitation now disturbing all
branches of business is unquestion-
ably a potent factor in this disastrous
shutdown. The tariff is, however,
not to be ignored. An increase of our
imports of cotton cloth from 37,459.-
500 yards in 1892 to 50,307, 47S yards
in 1895 is sufficient to show that pro-
lection is essential to the welfare of
both labor and capital"

Iowa Gold Democrats.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. A.
Col. l.. ID. Martin called the state
gold standard conference of the
Democrats to order this afternoon.
About forty delegates are in at
tendance and the meeting is
harmonious. The question Of
the ACCESSIBILITY of putting a
Democratic gold, ticket in the
field was discussed, the main
question being whether it would
be better not to vote for Mckinley
than to put a gold ticket in the
field, which was considered equiva-
lent to helping the Republican
ticket in left handed manner. A
majority was in favor of another
ticket because the Republicans
stand on the tariff which could not
be Endorsed. l.. d. Martin will be
chosen delegate to the national
conference at Indianapolis.

LYNCHING BADLY NEEDED.

Berea, o., Aug. 4.-This place is in
a turmoil today. At 3 O'clock this
morning the cry of fire was raised.
The residence of Richard Dodd was
on fire and burned to the ground,
nothing being saved. A wire screen
was torn from window, oil poured
on an unoccupied bed near it and
lighted. Dodd's son heard noise
and smelled smoke, and aroused his
father barely in time to get out of the
house. Two children were overcome
with smoke. The family consisted
of seven children.
The residence of James Woodcock, a
neighbor, was also saturated with oil,
but was not lighted. Dodd is a con-
tractor at the quarry, as is also
Woodcock, and both employ non-union
men. There is talk of lynching if the
culprits who are using dynamite and
the torch are apprehended.

EVIDENTLY SUICIDE.

A Man Pound Dead Last Night.
Coroner Griff Jones was called to
the Eureka hotel on South Flores
street last night to hold an in
quest.
A man, who registered as M. L.
Aireton, had died suddenly.
After viewing the body, the cor
oner took charge of deceased's per-
sonal belongings, which consisted
OF valise. On opening the valisc
this morning, beside some clothes.
number of books and papers
were found. The papers showed
that deceased's name was MARQUIS
Lafayette Cureton. He was go
years OF age and was formerly en-
ployed as bookkeeper at the yards
OF the Alamo Press Brick com.
pany. Deceased had lived here
several years and was at one time
a school teacher hero.
No money or anything OF value
was found, and nothing is known
of his relatives. A souvenir album
was found in the valise, which con-
tanned papers showing that he
graduated from the University of
Virginia in June, 1855; also that
he was member of the V. A. Sc.
A receipt dated Mobile, Ala, De-
cember 2, 1867, for $45, for lot in
the Catholic cemetery of that place
was among the papers.
A pardon of s. B. Rutledge, dated
Perry county, Alabama, September
IL, 1865, signed by President An
drew Johnson and Secretary
Seward, was also found.
Cureton was found in a chair in
the hotel about 10 o'clock last
night and seemed to be sick. OFF,
Ger Sobieski was notified and DR..
Kenney was sent for, but the man
died before any assistance could be
rendered.
1t is believed that death was
caused by strychnine poisoning
and that it was self administered.
This belief is confirmed by the
following sentences, which were
written on the fly leaves of bible
bound in deceased's valise. The
writing was done with a sharp
pencil and appeared to have been
done but day or two ago. One
sentence reads: "Death is the
only CONSIDER; we shall meet in
Heaven" and another, "Gone to
God"
