The great Hungarian exhibition ut
Buda- PeSth offers many attractions to
the sightSeer, and one at least which
has never been thought of in connection
with any previous eXhibition-the op-
portunity to be married, or to see some
body else married, free of cost A town
hall has been erected in the portion of
the exhibition grounds which represents
Hungarian village, and this building
has very important play. Notwith-
standing the objections raised by the
clergy supported by members of the i'm
perial family, a real marriage register
viii be opened in this town hall. and at
fixed dates three times a month any be-
tIothed couple may be married accord :.
ing TO the civil ceremony, in the ex-
hibition grounds, and have their names
booked in this register. The commit
tee invites them with all their friends
for a weeks feasting, and furnishes
them with carriages horses, food and
sleeping room. These weddings will
give the visitors to the exhibition a per-
feet idea of the customs in all parts of
the country, and they will make the
scenes of the village street pictures of
real life on high festival days.-West-

condemn both Republican and Demo

having broken their platform pledges

provided it can be beneficially affected
without the sacrifice of the principles
OF the Peoples party. We oppose any

We favor the support of the free pub

TRAGEDY IN SISKIYOU COUNTY.
A Woman, Her Daughter and Chinese
Servant 1urdered.

YREKA, May 13.-Mrs. Henry
Schwatka, her little daughter Irene and
a Chinese servant were brutally muir
dered at their home on the Prather
ranch in Butte Creek Valley, this
morning. Two tramps who discovered
the crime are being held by the author
tiles pending an investigation. 1t is
supposed by many that the Chinaman
first shot Mrs. Schwatka and her daugh-
ter and then committed suicide, but this
belief is not shared by the husband Of
the murdered woman.
The bereaved husband is a brother
of the late Lieutenant Schwatka, the
well-known Arctic explorer, and is one
of the most prominent and highly re-
spected men in the county, being fore
man of the vast Prather ranch. The
community is greatly aroused by the
crime, and should the guilty parties be
discovered a repetition of the lynchings

dressed. The horse and buggy were re-
turned to Servers stable
All that could be learned of the calam-

Dorsey met a couple of men in a cart
at Sixth and NJ streets; that Lewis had
some words with them, and that the two
men threw something at him.
1t is quite evident they hit their mark,
too, for his right cheek has an ugly hole

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13.-Asphyx-
iation ended two lives in the residence
OF Marsden Manson, the well-known
architect, at 2010 Cough street, this
morning and last night.
Marie Eismann, a young German girl,
committed suicide by turning on the gas
in her bedroom and closing the doors
and windows At what hour she sue
cumbed to the fumes is not known, as
the fact that she had committed the act
was not discovered until this morning
when the smell of gas attracted atten-
ton.
1t was traced to the kitchen, and there
seated in a chair was found the limp
form of James Allen Chase, father of
Mr.. Manson's wife. Almost simulta-
neously the inmates discovered Marie
lying dead in her bed
The theory of the double ira gedy is
this: Marie Eismann was domestic
employed in the house of the Mansions,
and Mr.. Chase, the aged stepfather of
Mr.. Manson, resided there. Marie was a
supersensitive girl, not over bright and
a reader of light literature.
She had room that opened into the
kitchen and always slept there. Her
reputation was good and her conduct
irreproachable. That is why she became
greatly excited when she was accused of
stealing some article. She told Mrs.
Hilbert of 1907 Golden Gate avenue that
she had been charged with theft, and
she seemed deeply distressed. Last
night when she went to her room she
sat down ait a table and wrote note,
which she addressed to D. Eismann,
Grants Pass, Or. 1t read as follows:
Dear mamma, papa and brother: 1
will be dead tomorrow, but you must
all forgive me. 1t is not my fault. For
give me. 1 swear in the name of God
/ have not done it. Good-by. VIII see
you soon again. Your loving sister
MARIE"
She then turned on the gas jet and
went to bed. The gas escaped into the
Kitchen and this morning Mr.. Chase
went into the latter room and sat down
to read a newspaper. He was 50 years
of age and quite feeble. 1t is supposed
that at first he did not detect the pres
ence of the gas and that as he sat there
it suddenly overcame him and reduced
him to Inconsistencies. When the fam
ily entered the room he was breathing
heavily. A physician was sent for and
every effort was made to save him by
the application of all the restoratives
and antidotes available. But it was all
in vain. The patient was too far gone
and too fnfirm to throw off the effects
OF the gas and finally succumbed to it.
