The people of Salt Lake City, Utah, are greatly excited over the supposed dis covery that Rev. F. Hermann, pastor of the First Scandinavian church of that city, has had a career similar to Holmes. He is suspected of killing seven persons, most of them women. He has had three wives and two children, all of whom have died at different times under suspicious circumstances. Two young ladies, who have mysteriously disappeared, are also thought to be his victims. The discov- cry of the remains of the body of one of the young ladies in furnace of the church in which he had been known to have re- gently kept fierce fire going for num- Der of hours, and other strong circum- stantial evidence, points to him as the guilty one. Hermann has disappeared, and all efforts to find him have failed so far

Washington Letter.
Washington, May 18th, 1896.


 The most noticeable feature of the de- bate in the senate on Senator Buffers pending bill prohibiting the issue of bonds by the government without special act of congress was the evident desire of sen- ators to shift the responsibility for failure to provide the treasury with money to meet appropriations which congress has already made. So long as they confined their remarks to generalities the unposted nearer wondered why men who talked to glibly of their willingness to dosomething still persisted in doing nothing; but as soon as details were reached, it became plain that the same old differences existed and that individual talk about willing ness to supports non-p n-partisan bill which would furnish the revenue the government needs was nothing more than an attempt

The series of terrible cyclones in the west continue. East St. Louis yesterday afternoon was swept over by a cyclone causing the loss of hundreds of lives anC the destruction of many millions of dol lars worth of property. The east spar of. the Eads bridge across the Mississipp river was wrecked, railroad trains were overturned and sunk. Many fires were started, which added to the loss. The lowest estimate of loss of life is 3OO and this number may be largely increased by full returns.

Judas in

The explosion of Judas is q custom
peculiar to the land of the Montezumas,
at least il 1t ever existed elsewhere it
is obsolete now,-and a most curious
one it is. The Indians make, accord
ing TO their own ideas of ugliness,
figures somewhat resembling the human
form, three or four inches to eight or
ten feet in height, of a kind of paste
on a paper form. To these they at
tach q fuse, beginning at the finger
ends, extending up the arms, around
the neck, and down the sides to the
feet, with strong explosives at inter-
vals along the line. 1t was curious to
observe the horrible efigies as thy
we're borne about, and note each lndi-
vidual makers conception of the hid
eous. Some had the faces of animals,
others had merely grotesaua human
features, while others had bat-like
wings, and horns, and hoofs; but all
were as ugly as sin, which they repre-
sented.
On Saturday, Easter Eve, at 10
O'Clock, the spell of silence which had
held the church bells for forty. eight
hours was broken, and again from
countless towers the curious din rang
out. Then begun the explosion OF
Judas; all over the quaint old city the
reports were heard, some weak, as If
from ordinary f~ire-crackers, others
sounding like huge bombs. Those not
on the streets rushed to windows and
balconies to see whence the noise
came. The sffigies we're strung on
ropes or wires suspended across the
public ways, the fuses lighted, and as
we gazed at the dangling forms and
saw them blown to pieces, the feeling
was almost as if veritable men were
before our eyes, and we even found it
in our hearts to pity Judas. Not SO
with the natives. Many Of them were
wrought up to a pitch of religious
frenzy, and il an arm or a leg was
thrown off intact they seized and tore
il with their teeth, as il it were 10
truth q part Of the misguided traitor of
centuries ago. L., IN april Lippin-
